Red 88 - Willows — Restaurant in Willows

Visited August 2nd..see receipt.

Before checking out Walmart in Willows I thought I would try this place. It has an Asian fusion vibe menu with some interesting choices.

I ordered the burger with avocado and bacon that came with waffle fries along with the chicken satay appetizer. The burger was cooked nicely and it tasted good. I had them cook the bacon alittle more since I like it alittle crispy. Bun was not warm but still tasted fresh. The chicken satay is always my "go to" at some of my favorite Thai restaurants. The peanut sauce is always included in the meal. I was surprised to see on my bill that they charged me an extra 2.50 for the peanut sauce that is supposed to be included in the price. Thus not 5 stars. The owner offered to refund me the 2.50 ( i declined) but I think it's important to have full transparency on what you are assuming is included per the menu description.

The wait staff ( including the bartender) were very pleasant and professional. The inside is clean and bathroom was spotless.

They have a full bar and have regular seating and bar seating. They also have happy hour on certain days.

I would go again in the future if I am driving through...

Absolutely fantastic place to have some of the best Thai cuisine period! This is our second time here. Our first time we came from the vintage raving event nearby at the Willow racetrack.

Today we came in with just me and my girlfriend our meal was perfect.

We had

Thai Salted caramel shake. Which was a sweet but not too sweet delight

The pumpkin Mentai fries. I don’t like pumpkin but these were fried to perfection.

The crab wontons were delicious.

Avocado cheese egg rolls were not too heavy and perfectly crispy.

The main dish of Udon stir fry with tofu was a savory delight and perfect. Flavors were in every strand of noodles.

The cream brûlée cheesecake is the perfect way to wrap up this fantastic dinner.

Overall as close as a perfect meal it can come.

Thank you team Red88 for...

Hate to leave a negative review because I’ve been excited to try this new restaurant, but unfortunately I was left disappointed along with my husband. The pho is probably the worst bowl of pho I’ve ever had and I’ve traveled all over the country eating pho at various places in my travels. The meat was pretty much all fat chunks and the broth was bland. The beef/pork spring rolls were super greasy and tasted like something you’d get from a gas station. I’m sure I’ll try something else out when I drive back through, there’s a lot on the menu that looks delicious, I just chose pho because it’s my favorite. Hopefully it redeems itself so I can...
