Let's admit it, finding any AUTHENTIC Chinese restaurants in and around Worcester is really hard. However, this is the closest you will get to eating some REAL authentic Chinese food around here.
I have eaten here multiple times and each time it hasn't disappointed. The staff is always helpful, nice, and the food always comes out hot and fast.
My go-to dishes are: Chicken corn soup, Yang Chow fried rice, Beef chow fan, Moo Shi, Singapore noodles, and any of the spicy dishes (which is a lot!).
It is a pretty bare minimal restaurant with no real décor (which is fine with me), so some might find it pretty simple. Parking can also be a little bit of a pain, since it is off a weird triangle wedge corner. However, once you get inside, there is ample parking.
Personally, if you can swing it, I would just do take out since their service is FAST. Also, if you use cash, they take a couple of bucks off - score!
Highly recommend eating at Red Pepper!

It’s shockingly delicious, entirely authentic Szechuan food. I plan on eating here every day for the rest of my life.
Absolutely the best tradition Chinese food around. We have been going for years and can’t ever remember a time we were disappointed with a dish. It’s not fancy, but good service, quick delivery of dishes and fair prices!
Highly recommend Red Pepper especially for good Sichuan food, this is a step up above your typical American Chinese fast food restaurant. One of my favorite restaurants in Worcester and go at least every other month.
If you like spice this is the place. I would reserve to get any fried dish like their amazing "L01 Deep fried chicken" for dine in only as they do loose their crisp if doing takeout.
Some of my favorite dishes so far:
- L7 Cumin lamb, L1 fried chicken, E7 shredded beef, J14 Hot beef noodle soup
- L14 mala pot (lots of seafood and good for several people)
Their spicy wontons are also incredible and quite spicy.

Food was very good and authentic, the one thing I didn't like, that the hot Pot is a meat dish that's served over a heater not a soup. Is a bit misleading! But nevertheless it tasted good!
Very tasty food and authentic. We got the beef with fried tofu and hot pot and spare ribs with garlic also an order of house fried rice. Everything was delicious and came out fast.
Went to Red Pepper for a lunch date with my daughters ! Place was clean and staff were attentive . Had dishes consisting of Chicken with mushrooms; Sesame Chicken, Vegetable Lo Mein along with fried rice, steamed raviolis and Wonton Soup. Everything was freshly cooked to order , noodles got excellent reviews, sesame chicken got good reviews , although a little pricey for that one dish ! Wonton soup was tasty but the wontons and raviolis were just okay . It’s a hood place and I would return !
Beautiful place, wonderful foods.
Real authentic Sichuan cuisine.
It might be too strong flavour or spicy for American, but really good.
We got cold sliced beef tendon, spicy and sour beef noodle soup, fried shrimp with walnut in mayo, and fried chicken with Chilli.
And I'm pretty sure other foods should be wonderful.
I'm so glad to find this restaurant.
If you like spicy Chinese food or hotpot you must love here.😍
