I celebrated Chinese New Year in Okada with my sister’s best friend – Isa. We checked out the latest Chinese restaurant in the metro called Red Spice. It offers a combination of Cantonese and Northern Chinese cuisines. Here are some my observations to this new restaurant:
- It is still on its soft opening phase
- Service is a bit slow due to influx of people. Please note that this is the only restaurant in Okada currently open so it’s always full.
- Great Chinese inspired atmosphere but air condition was a bit low. Overall, the ambiance is ok.
Here are some of the best items on their menu:
Because of the influx of people, some of the orders were not served on time. The restaurant manager decided to throw in some complimentary dessert:
Red Spice is located at Okada Manila, New Seaside Drive, Entertainment City, Parañaque. They are open everyday from 11 AM – 12 MN.
The verdict: It’s a HIT (in terms of flavor) but there can be some more improvements. I hope I can dine in again soon.
The Tennis Foodie’s favorite: Cantonese-Style Congee with Traditional Condiments and Mapo Tofu with Minced Pork in Sichuan Chili Bean Sauce
Seeing this makes me sooooo hungry.?❤ Om noms, craving for dumplings now!!! Will surely dine-in here!
Yummy! I haven’t ever tried some of these things, so I’d love to give them a taste. So nice that everyone got a complimentary dessert.
I adore Chinese food and this place looks amazing. What a fun way to spend the New Year holiday.
Oh my goodness how good does new year at red spice look! I do love a good Chinese meal so I’m going to have to check out if we have one near!
Glad you enjoyed the food there. The items look scrumptious and I would love to visit myself.
These all look really good. I have not tried a few of these but I am totally open to giving them a shot now, they look so GOOD.
Looking at these pics I seriously want to eat all of this. I love vegetable spring rolls…yummmmm 🙂
Shame that some of the food did not arrive on time but at least the food was good! It is so nice that they gave you a complimentary dessert as well, I have tried coconut mochi but never red bean mochi. It looks delicious.
The Chinese really know how to celebrate the new year! So cool! They celebrate for a while.
At least the food turned out to be great, there are lots of things you mentioned that I would love to try.
This place looks great. We have a similar franchise near me called Top Spice.
Oh the congee looks so good. I could have two bowls of that with some chili oil. Red spice looks amazing. Wish their was one near me.
The food does look delicious there. Although I am not sure if I would like the fact that I had to wait a long time. I imagine reservations might be difficult as well.
Looks like such a delicious place! Glad you guys had fun celebrating!
Hmmm…these all look hella bomb. Especially that Pork Dumplings with Caviar, can I have some here? 🙂
Look at all that tasty food!
Spring rolls are very popular here in my area, as are egg rolls. I was surprised to be told many years ago that most of the Chinese dishes I like aren’t actually Chinese, I don’t know if it’s true or not, I just eat what I like.
The food does look amazingly delicious there. It would have to be worth the wait, due to service taking so long; but, I do understand the reason why.
Spring-rolls = tick
So, it’s a go here from me!
I’ve never heard of Red Spice until now! It looks like a delicious and fun place to eat for sure!
Looks like a really nice place. I always forget how lucky I am to live in NYC – there are so many great options for food here 🙂
I love it when managers or the owners recognize poor service and throw in an item or two to make the customer happy.
I am a vegetarian and Chinese is one of the easiest types of food to find fulfilling veggie dishes. I love the spring rolls too!
Chinese New Year at red spice seems so fun and exciting. Looking forward to going!
Looks so yummy! I want to go! Thanks for sharing!
Yummy! Wanna check this out.
Mmm… I love Chinese cuisine! The menu looks lovely, especially the dumplings!
Love eating foods like this. Sounds so good!!
That sounds like a great place to visit. Mapo Tofu totally caught my eye.
Th red bean mochi and the spring rolls caught my attention. I do love eating both.
