Why cook when we do it for you?👩🏽🍳
Thank you !!
“It’s been ages since our last visit to on NW 23rd & we’d forgotten how delicious their food is. And I didn’t realize how many fantastic seafood items they offer, which was a boon for us given our recent adoption of a pescatarian diet (it’s going pretty well).

Both dishes shown here are from their specials menu. The first is their Mackerel Fried Rice, which was phenomenal!🙌🏻 Mackerel can be fishy in flavor, but Red Onion managed to moderate that, while amplifying its meatiness. The dish also comes with generous sides of fried shallots, chili peppers & raw red onions, allowing you to customize the flavors & heat level to your preference.

I ordered their Red-O Fish, which features deep-fried tilapia in a fantastically flavorful sauce. I really enjoyed its balance of flavors & textures, but bear in mind that it’s on the spicy side.

Speaking of which, Red Onion’s spice levels are the real deal.🌶👊🏻 So, while “medium spicy” might be pretty mild at most Thai spots, it’ll light up your mouth at Red Onion. This is one of the many things I appreciate about their food, but it’s something to be aware of.”
