Red Kitchen

Was here for the lunch special. 8.25 for a green Curry chicken two spring rolls and a drink not a bad deal.
Green curry could use a little bit more love. By love I mean coconut milk.
My guest very much enjoyed the pad Thai

OMG the cashew nut chicken is sooo delish!!! It’s the tastiest Thai cashew nut chicken I have ever come across!
I actually tried to make it at home the next day but :(I’ll just get my cashew nut chicken from the Red Kitchen!
Both times hubby and I came here, the food and service has been superb. The lady (owner?) at the counter was very friendly and pleasant. Service is fast and prices are reasonable :)

Tasty food! Very fresh. Portions could be bigger though. Friendly service and very nice décor.

I go here on a semi-​regular basis. The food is quite good and reasonably-​priced. My only complaint is that I seem to have trouble getting my bill at the end of the meal. Once I have finished eating, the servers tend to avoid the table. Other than that small complaint, service, comfort, food and price are good.

My family frequented Red House in Pickering and was pleasantly surprised to find the owner at this (not so new) joint in Ajax. Apparently they have relocated and are dishing out the consistent homecooked style thai dishes we love!
The apps and thai curries beat your average spring rolls entrees hands down! But dont expect to be impressed by their Phở. Go to an authentic Phở joint for some soup, but come here and get what the cook is excels at… decilious authentic thai grub.
Wishing RED KITCHEN much success in your not so new home!

Whenever I see a 3+ star Vietnamese place pop up in my search in Durham region, my heart skips a beat. I’m such a huge noodle soup lover and always on the lookout for a new joint to call my new go-​to place for Phở. After reading reviews for the Red Kitchen, I thought maybe this could be the one. Sigh…
We ordered a rare beef phở lunch special which comes with 2 mini (they’re really mini) and a choice of coffee or tea and a bowl of bun bo hue. I’ve been a fan of bun bo hue ever since I first tasted it in Phở Metro (scarborough) and have tried this delectable soup in many other Vietnamese joints and I’m sad to say, this one was the most dumbed down version of this glorious soup I love so much.
The broth for the rare beef phở was so bland and lacked beefiness umami. The meat was ok, I think. I was too busy digging into my own bowl of spicy (well, it was supposed to be) bun bo hue. As far as the lunch special rare beef phở is concerned, I don’t think I’d order it again.
Bun bo hue suffered similar fate as the rare beef phở but with more transgressions made against such a signature dish. First of all, they had the wrong noodles for this soup. They served the same rice noodles that was in the phở, not the thick round noodles bun bo hue is supposed to have. From there on, it was a lack of a whole bunch of ingredients (shredded red cabbage, onion, Vietnamese bologna, blood jello… etc) that made this dish so disappointing. The broth didn’t taste enough of the lemongrass or the sweet/​salty/​sour balance or even the beef. There was a good amount of brisket and rare beef but asides from that, there was nothing else. Literally…
I’m sad to say that the Red Kitchen did not impress me. I’m willing to give it another shot and try something else but it won’t be any time soon.
Next stop, the Phở Metro in Ajax!

One of my favourite lunch places. The lunch combos are a great deal.
Check it out!

The food + service was great, price same, it was the best meal in ajax that we have had in a very long time.

Not bad at all! Will be back to try other food items, solid ⁴⁄₅! Price is good also. For a phở noodles is 7, curry rice 8, lunch prices

Friendly service and the phở was pretty good! It’s a little pricey than I’m used to paying for a bowl of phở. But the portions are a good size and a large bowl is more than enough for me. All I had was the phở, but I will definitely come back to try more of their menu. This place is still quite new and I hope they stay for a long time. They are just walking distance from where I live and I love Thai and phở!

Great Thia/​Vietnamese restaurant — excellent value for a diner or a group. Tasty fresh home made ingredients, great portions & presentation, friendly attentive service, plenty of parking and definitely worth the drive, if you live outside of Ajax.
The Chef knows how to COOK!
Definitely worth a return visit.
