Red Pepper - Fox Valley

This shop is a small open-kitchen booth type of restaurant inside Park&Shop supermarket; the next open-kitchen booth is also owned by the same lady selling roasted duck/pork. The lady owner spoke (gossip) about customer that she doesn’t like to the cook and the cook had no choice to go along with the lady owner’s willful thinking and to violate the business ethics~ not to cook for customer. I witnessed such instance and believe that this violated the general rules of business services that the shop advertised to provide. I also witnessed that she may sell 1/2 strip of roasted pork to others but chose not to sell 1/2 pork to another person for the reason that she couldn’t sell the other half if the whole strip of pork is not purchased. I believe such kind of business behaviors with unfair treatment are legally not correct and should be able to be raised to Consumer Rights Bureau to be sure this shop owner treat every customer equally without bias when running her business.

The chef made very good spice dish. I ordered spice octopus, and told chef made chinese way. It is so delicious. The octopus is so tender and spice source just good as I ate in China. I am very impressed. Will bring friends back to here to try others dish.

Red Pepper has become my go to Chinese food in Naperville/Aurora. As the name suggests, spicy Sichuan dishes are their specialty and they're all delicious. The food isn't sweetened like some other Americanized menus in the area.It does take a bit of time to get your order, but it's well worth it and makes sense there are usually a few orders in the queue at any time and everything is made from scratch (you can see it being prepared! .

I personally think this is the best Chinese restaurant in the Aurora/Naperville area. The owners are Cantonese, but their Szechuan dishes are pretty on point just as good as their Cantonese dishes. They do get really busy during lunch or dinner time. I would recommend calling ahead. In my experience I always need to wait 30-40 mins ish.

The noodles was good, but the red sausages got burnt (over-cooked).
