We all should feel lucky as we have Red Orchids in town. Out of all the Asian fusion restaurants I have been to around Charleston, Red Orchids is definitely the one that I highly, highly recommend!
The food that they serve is a combination of genuine Chinese dish with real traditional Chinese ingredients but slightly tuned into something that fits better to American’s taste. The food portion is slightly smaller than other restaurants, and price is on the higher end of Chinese restaurants, but for the quality of the food that you are getting, it is worth going to try.
The atmosphere is no where like what you will be imagining in a Chinese Restaurant, Red Orchids is well decorated, with pictures dating back to the 1940s of Shanghai and other elegant decorations on the wall. Menu was with a variety of wine selections, so it is more like a place for you to enjoy Chinese fusion food than just going to a restaurant.
Been there multiple times and this time I ordered Calamari Fries, Shanghai Fettuccine and Korean steak, the food was delicious, the only critique I had was the steak sauce was too sweet for me.
