Red House — Restaurant in Virginia

Ordered the large combo fried rice. I've seen 2 different menus. & both say 7.99$ is the price. I am disabled. When I went in the doors were very heavy, I almost got hurt bc I couldn't get all the way in b4 door started shutting on me. Anyway it didn't dawn on me to look at their posted prices on menu on the wall inside. I didn't pay too much attention when she rang me up, I just handed her debit card. I looked at price on receipt when I got in car & the total was 11.12$ !!. At the most it should have cost 8..72..no more than 9$. When I call order in I tell her what I want to come pick up & all they say is "Thank You". They don't tell you the total or ask for a name. I believe if you don't ask for total they charge what they want. There is another review on here from a month ago where their cost was 11$ for a lunch size I think. I don't think their food is the bomb but I've eaten at worse places. IF YOU CALL ORDER IN MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR A TOTAL(or ask 4 the prices as you order) & TELL THEM YOU WILL WAIT IF THEY SAY THEY ARE TOO BUSY. THEN SAY, "OK I WILL BE THERE IN 30 MINUTES TO PICK UP MY 9$ ORDER & MY NAME IS______..TY." I believe the place up the street from them have same owners& charge food orders on phone the same way. They say NOTHING on phone so you won't cancel bc it...

If there was a way to leave zero, perhaps negative stars, I would. Idk what everyone else is thinking who reviewed this dump but I'm not a picky or pretentious person by any means and this was hands down the worst Chinese AND american food I've ever had. Do not be fooled by the rave reviews like I was, I've had better Chinese at sketchy strip malls and gas stations. My fried chicken was so hard it was 60% inedible, the whipped potatoes were fake and topped with a watery Onion flavored gravy. My fried wontons were chewy and left much to desire, even the red sauce was somehow messed up and had a funny taste. The worst part was my boyfriend's sesame chicken- in not sure how they made it taste so disgusting but the chicken was soggy like a wet sponge and the sauce tasted exactly like BBQ sauce and nothing like sesame chicken. Trust me, do not waste your time and money. This place is dirty, the service is rude, and I would forgive it all if the food wasn't the absolute worst. I'd say the best part about my meal was the fortune Cookies but they didn't even give us any!! Over $20 for 2 people and it was inedible and they can't even throw in a fortune Cookie?...

There are some restaurants that you just can't help going back to; Red House is one of them. I think everyone who's ever been there can attest to their fried chicken being better than most big named fast food restaurants out there. I've been going here for years to get my fried food fix and every single time the chicken has been superb. The portions are well worth the wait and the prices aren't bad either.

My only gripe about the shop is how small it is inside; 6 or maybe 7 small booths max for dining in. But don't let the size of the shop fool you, if you're looking to get good chicken on a Friday, Saturday or even Sunday evening, you better call ahead because this place gets packed out and for good reason. Other than the small insides I consider this spot one of Chesterfields best kept secrets. I definitely...
