Red Snapper

My friend took me here and the place is very sanitary. Spacious. Prices were reasonable here. Services was excellent here! The waiter was fast and friendly! The food was pretty good! Really delicious! I highly recommend coming here to eat!

I met up with up with seven others here on a Friday night around 7pm. The parking lot was small and I had to park in the back of the restaurant. This place was pretty crowded but we were seated in the back side area.
We were waiting for most of the group to show up so I studied the menu on what to order. Their menu was the same as their online menu in case anybody was wondering. It had a lot of choices and I didn’t know what to choose or what was good. I asked our waitress what she would recommend and she asked if I liked spicy foods. I told her yes and she recommend the Kun Pun Shrimp or Beef ($ 15.95) or Mongolian Beef ($ 15.95). She told me their House Chicken or Beef ($ 14.95 for chicken and $ 15.95 for beef) was their popular dish. I decided to order the House Beef.
I removed one star because of this next part; otherwise, this would be a solid four star place in my opinion. We waited for our food for over one hour. I don’t know what was going on in the kitchen, but other tables were also waiting for their food. We were not told what the reason was for the long delay, but I heard one of the waitresses told the other table that «it was just one of those nights» which made me believe this was not the first time it happened.
When our food finally came out, the dishes looked good from what everybody ordered. The House Beef was delicious and large enough to share between two people or more. It came with a lot of rice and I almost finished all of the rice. I did finish the whole House Beef plate, but I pushed through to finish.
Overall, Red Snapper had good food and even though it took so long for our food to come out, it might be worth it to some to check it out.

After several attempts at liking this place all I can say is it is mediocre. All of the sauces seem taste like corn-​syrup bottled disasters from the supermarket shelf and all of the dishes I’ve had have tasted the same. No matter how spicy I order the Thai food it is always mild. The soup I tried was bland but hot. The décor is nice as is the staff but for the cost I would rather drive further to an actual Thai, Vietnamese, or Chinese restaurant than visit this fusion.

Clean restaurant, the services was fast and friendly. The food on the other hand was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend eating here during lunch!

Went for lunch special on a Saturday and was delighted with food and value. Came back the next week and encountered the worst waitress ever. She was telling us that an item wasn’t available as part of the lunch special but was available as an ‘à la carte’ item. Of course, meaning, I had to order a non-​special lunch. I don’t like bs. Won’t ever go back.

Lots of options. Decent thai food. Spice (heat) level does not depict thai food. Will give it another shot.

Good food, but the service ruined it for me. The meal I had was the Broccoli Stir-​Fry with Chicken and Scallops. Upon entering the restaurant, I waited for around 15 minutes before the staff decided to greet me. The waitress was rather slow paced, and I believe she forgot about me. I waited for an hour after getting my food before she came to check on me, and decided to just get the check and leave. The food was very good, but I wish the service was more lively, active, and attentive.

I (all caps) LOVE this place. Their food is great any time of the day, but their lunch specials just can’t be beat! For a $ 10 you get your entrée, rice, soup and crab Rangoon– it really is a fantastic deal and the portions are big enough to nibble on for two meals. Oh, and did I mention that every bite brings you closer to food euphoria? Try the chicken pad Thai, you’ll see what I mean!

FOOD: ⁵⁄₅
Chicken Satay: Light, delicious, guilt-​free appetizer.
San Shan Jam Bong: A noodle bowl on steroids. Packed with satisfying meats, hearty vegetables, and yummy spices. I am 6’4″ and 225lbs, and can barely finish one of these suckers. Love it, love it, love it.
SERVICE: ⁵⁄₅
Service is always friendly and usually fast. Naturally, it is best when the place is not full.
VALUE: ⁴⁄₅
As much as I love the food, the prices feel a bit (though just a bit) high. For example, my favorite noodle bowl is $ 13.50, and 4 small chicken satays run $ 7.25.

I hated my first Red Snapper experience, but fortunately I gave it another chance. Now that I’ve found my favorite dish there, I just always order the same thing. Love the Hot Thai Basil Tofu for the lunch special! Good value and nice service and atmosphere. It’s a popular lunch spot among coworkers.

I go here to eat at least once every week, usually with my gf. I always get the jjambbong and she usually gets jajangmyun. More often than not, we usually also get the salmon rangoon as an appetizer. This place hasn’t failed me yet, except when I tried to change things up and ordered what I had thought/​hoped to be kkanpoongi. I wish they’d add half jjambbong half jajangmyun onto their menu… cus I usually want both, but I can’t eat two servings as they’re pretty big. Waiters/​waitresses are friendly and usually attentitive. I’ve tried both jjambbong and jajangmyun from Korea, Boston, and New York, but this place is one of the top in my book. Thank you for being in KC area!

Clean, friendly, yummy!
They weren’t very busy, and it was 6pm in the middle of the week. I was concerned, but got over that quickly.
We started with pot stickers. Our main dishes were Phad Thai and the house dish, chicken. We were pleased and will return if we’re in the area sometime.

Order ahead and get the fried red snapper it’s delicious. The whole fish gets fried in a great sauce. Their servers are attentive and prompt. We always order off the menu — the chef will make almost any traditional Chinese food.

Nice service, wait staff was friendly. I had the snapper fillet with vegetable in chef sauce, my girlfriend had black bean stir fry with shrimp and scallops. The fish was cooked to perfection, although I think a sweeter, savory sauce would have had my taste buds firing on all cylinders! Will definitely come again.

Our search for a good Chinese restaurant has finally ended; Red Snapper is amazing. I can’t even guess how many times I have driven by this restaurant on my way down Ward Parkway to Target, Trader Joe’s and the movies. Red Snapper is located in a strip shopping center that is not easily navigated from the main road. I also think that the name of the restaurant prevents the casual passerby to know that they serve Chinese and other Asian cuisine. But upon arrival on on a Friday night at 8:00 we realized that many others already knew the secret of Red Snapper’s awesomeness! It was packed with diners, which is unusual for even the best Chinese restaurants. Take out orders were streaming out the door at a constant clip. We waited a short time for a table and were seated in the main dining room, which had a very appealing atmosphere.
They have a full bar menu and a nice selection of beers and wines by the glass. They also have a reasonably priced wine list; many tables were enjoying bottles of wine. The food menu is extensive with a wide variety of Asian inspired dishes. The only thing that we found interesting was that they don’t offer pork in their dishes; not a problem, but just good to know if you’re a pork lover.
Our server was very informative and guided us in our choices. We started out with crispy egg rolls, which were delightful. We tried the general Taos chicken, a pad Thai with shrimp and vegetable fried rice. The portions were huge, but it was a sweet treat to have leftovers for lunch over the weekend! We were impressed with the amount of shrimp in the pad Thai, yummy. The fried rice was only a few dollars more than having white or brown rice and it was a meal in itself and so tasty. Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. All I know is we are a Red Snapper fan for sure!

If you know me, you know my obsession for Thai food, and while definitely full of potential, Red Snapper was not my kind of Thai food.
We ordered takeout on a cool night and the girl working the bar was absolutely on point. She was slinging orders and multi-​tasking with the best of ‘em. The atmosphere is kinda cool in here with a big fish tank when you walk in. I wasn’t expecting that seeing as how it’s buried in a strip mall down the street from another mall.
Food wise, they seemed to play everything safe. Nothing was overly flavorful, and nothing was anywhere near close to spicy (I ordered medium, FWIW). I tried the Red Curry with Chicken and it was really thick, as if the coconut milk used would be the equivalent of half and half milk. It had a lot of chicken, but again the chicken wasn’t flavorful and tasted like nothing. The ingredients were quality, so that earns some points in my book.
My fiancée had tofu and pan noodles, and it had potential but again just really fell flat on the flavor spectrum.
The old phrase ‘jack of all trades, master of none’ seems to come into play here as it’s an Asian-​Fusion restaurant. While there are lots of things to like about that concept, to me it means that it’s unsettled. It’s not really Chinese, Thai, Taiwanese, etc. It’s sort of an Americanized mix of the whole continent, and I’d rather stick with specific spots when I can.

Phad Thai: really could not accept the sauce used on my dish. Sweet Chili Paste used typically at Chinese-​Americanized restaurants for Spring Rolls /​Vietnamese Rolls is Not what should have marinated my noodles. please. very Un-​original, and besides. too much sauce at that; I should have asked for it on the side.
The food came out from the kitchen within 5−10min so that was a pleasant surprise. Compliments for fresh ingredients, and not overcooked veggies, which I tasted in the adequate crunch* of the crisp snap peas and «munchiness» of all other veggie additions (asparagus, baby corn, carrots, red pepper, broccoli). Note: it is not often you come by restaurants that present their dishes without over-​cooked and wilted veggetables, as if their customers cannot tell! Thank you Red Snapper kitchen for your efforts, it is appreciated.
Awkward service. I had no idea who exactly my server was. One gentleman took our order and got us to-​go boxes and our check. The other gentleman brought us the food and extra utensil and bowl and often checked to see if we needed anything else. It got a bit much; my friend and I were frequently interrupted in our conversations. Sweet boy. but he often hung around and fiddled unneccessarily about our table. so service: confusing and complaint against the first gentleman who I am convinced should have been my primary go-​to waiter. When he was taking our order he inquired if we needed more time or if he could answer any questions. so yes! «What is _​_​_​_​_​like?» («Uhm it’s really good») «oh, I guess I meant to ask about the flavors and the way the dish is prepared» («well it’s a noodle and it not exactly the dry type because it has sauce») «oh, uh. okay thank you».
Had he been a better communicator I would not have chosen their phad thai (incorrect sauce for the dish, what the! sweet chili sauce?) And he would have told my friend that besides the spicy level of her Thom Yum, an identifying flavor to the clear broth is the lemon. I would assume this information changes our initial take on the dish entirely.
Okay so final takeaway: food quality = A. food true to the original dish I expected = C. Service = ??. Price = Quite Pricey (though I did go on a Sunday night $ 17total for ?? Service and single Phad Thai dish I could do better at home). Entire Experience = 3.3 stars.

Everything is really, really good here and high quality. The dumplings are amazing. All soups including the snow white seafood soup are delicious. The Jam Bong is a favorite if you like spicy soup, noodles, and seafood. Definite Kansas City favorite!

What a nice experience! Came here with my gal-​pals last week for a late birthday dinner. We had calamari and salmon Rangoon for starters. Both excellent. The mango martini was delicious! I had Thai Red Curry. I was surprised it wasn’t a bit spicier but it was delicious nonetheless. The portions were very generous and I ended up eating the rest of it the next day at lunch. My curry was the combination of shrimp, chicken and pork. The location is kind of squirrely to get into if one is not familiar with this area but not impossible. Just squirrely. The service was a bit slow but friendly. I would definitely come back again. I like the vast array of choices for Asian-​style seafood.

Surprisingly, my dad mentioned this joint to me. Being Korean, Asian food that meets my parents high expectations is hard to come by.
My dad had heard from his Korean buddies that the jjajjangmyun or «Ja Jang Mein» at RS, was decent. I was surprised… flavors weren’t that bad, but again, coming from an Asian family… ya gotta be up to par on Asian dishes.
I got the Jam Bong, not a fan, but not terrible either.
