Red Hot Szechuan: Closed or Renovation?

NOW that is a tragedy. Damn. I never understood how they could deliver so quickly? It seems I am still on the phone giving my order when the doorbell rings. I really hope it is only renovations because is there any other decent Chinese food around?

Mark my words, another overpriced place with mediocre food will open up there or else a bank, realtor or cell phone store. Sigh.

Please don't let this be true! I was just there on friday for take-out, and everything looked totally the way it always does. The restaurant is usually pretty empty, but their take-out volume must be huge. My six-year-old loves their tofu, I don't want to give her the bad news...

I really hope they're not closing, their hot and sour soup is my absolute favorite. And the instant delivery!

I just ordered from them last week and they were hesitant to deliver past the expressway (and they've never had a problem before). The woman on the phone indicated that they probably wouldn't deliver to me in the future.

The food was no where near as good as it has always been. Even my scallion pancakes weren't great

I wonder if there's been a change of management? It would be sad to lose this place, or even have a change in the excellent food and service.

never eaten at this place but mr. wonton is also pretty good chinese, in my opinion...

I passed by tonight, the gates were down and I did not see any signs indicating why they were closed.

mr. wonton is good.

had it last night.

7th and berkeley so not sure how far south they deliver but i've always found them to be good.

Another place that was open for many years-I know they were there for more than 10. Were they there for 15 years? Did the landlord happen to say why they closed up after so long?

It was my favorite too. And also the only place hubby and I could agree on. he loves Tofu on 7th, I am not a fan and we both hate a ton of other places around here for various reasons (cleanliness, bad tasting food, etc).

Many years ago, we used to order from the place on 6th Avenue and Union Street-are they any good still?

That's the place I order from most. It's Park Slope Chinese (i.e. not great), but probably the best in the area. If I had a car, I'd just drive to Sunset Park and takeout all the time, but as it is I'm stuck with Hunan Delight.

Is Red Hop closed??? I really hope not. I love Red Hot.

Yes, Red Hot is very closed.

it seems people are saying good things about Hunan Delight on 6th Ave and Union

Hmm, I think they opened around 1993? Anyway, Hunan on Union is pretty good.

But they don't have Red Hot Black Bean Tofu

What's your address? I'll mail you the huge pile of menus waiting in my hallway every evening. . . . I'm sure one of them is good!

Of all these places mentioned here, Hunan Delight is the only place I ever tried. It's good! Curried chicken is yummy! Mmmmmmmmmmmm!

I think that Halal place on 4th avenue is pretty good.

It's really sad. We've been ordering from Red Hot since they opened.
On a positive note, while looking thru the menu folder, I found one from a place called Szechuan Garden. They're in Cobble Hill on Smith Street but deliver to the Slope. We ordered last night and the food showed up quite fast... not Red Hot fast, but within 30 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised. I recently picked-up a Szechuan cookbook and found that this place was more authentic than anything I've had outside of a chinatown restaurant.
