Red Light serves very good food. The taste is a little different from American food and yet it is close enough that everyone will enjoy. However, do NOT set up a large party in this restaurant and here is the reason why: They require you sign a party agreement form with your credit card number, expiration date, and your personal... more

We recently went to the Red Light for the first time and when we heard they were owned by the same owners that own Opera we were not expecting great food, as we are not impressed by Opera either. The atmosphere is the only saving grace to this restaurant. The food itself is mediocre at best. For the quality of... more

My wife and I have been going to Chicago at least once or twice a year for the past 5 years, and someone told us about Red Light three years ago.

I had a reservation but wanted a table outside, it took a good 40 minutes for that table. But other than that....the drinks, the food, the service, the atmostphere were all amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant. It's Pan-Asian, you can book your table on opentable.com. You won't be dissapointed, just remember to make a reservation. more

Red Light provided some firecracker type tastes during our 4th of July trip to the windy city. The restaurant itself is fun to look at. Think of a mixture of Thailand and Barcelona, Spain. Dark wood, bold colors are mixed with curved metal, walls and railings. Be sure to check out the mural of the asian elders over the back... more
