Red Bowl Asian Bistro: Reviews & Ratings
We were quickly seated and attended to by our waitress, she was nice and ensured we got what we wanted. Once we ordered, all our food came out pretty quickly before we even realized it, and it was all fresh and hot. The lo mein was hot and flavorful. We love the spicy bang bang shrimp as it is crunch with good flavor a slight kick. The calamari roll was pretty good nothing insane I like it for the price. Highly recommend the snow mountain roll. We went during lunch so it was pretty busy good atmosphere.
Yes, I understand Red Bowl is a chain. So why should it receive a 5-star review? The service and the food are why. We've eaten at many different Red Bowl locations throughout different states, but this experience was so good it brought back memories of a different Red Bowl and we did some happy reminiscing. We were seated promptly after entering and soon met our server, Gary. His friendly personality was apparent from the start, and the service was amazing. We enjoyed the lettuce wraps with chicken that were so much better than those found at the place with the giant horse out front. The littles shared the chicken lo mein and had enough to take home. The inside of the restaurant is typical to what you find at other Red Bowl restaurants. It is a mixture of booth and table seating. The bathroom is to the right of the host stand as you enter the restaurant. They can get packed on the weekends due to the proximity to Elon and many thriving communities, so plan accordingly. This place is a great option for a sit down Asian restaurant.
There was plenty of parking & we were seated as soon as we entered. Our waiter (Daniel) did a good job in making sure all the tables were tended too- there were a few large parties of 4 & more. We had sushi, spicy mango chicken, shrimp & veggie tempura, and hot & sour soup. It was all very delicious- the hot & sour soup wasn't my fav, but overall it was good!
My family and I ordered takeout through the Red Bowl's website to be ready in 30 minutes. It was ready on time when we picked it up. I got Combo A of the sushi & sashimi combos. It came with a California roll, eel roll, and spicy tuna roll. I also had my choice of a miso soup or ginger salad. Everything tasted really fresh. The rolls were definitely enough for a second meal. My mom is vegan, so the best part about Red Bowl was that they had a ton of plant based options for her. I've only ordered takeout from here, but I need to try dining in sometime.
This place is a step UP from all the other Asian spots I had eaten at before. It was overall a great experience. The place was visually appealing, with a nice red theme with a pretty glass waterfall right at the entrance. And the service was very quick! I ordered the Philly Crab Claw and I didn't know what to expect. But the creamy bite with a delicious crab flavor hooked me right in. Absolutely peak. The Lo Mein was really good too! The noodles were perfect and the chicken was absolutely delicious. I couldn't stop chowing down! Overall this place is great! Worth the visit!
We went here and had a great meal. They don't have a large gluten-free menu, but I was excited to see that there were several options. Also, lots of their sushi is gluten-free and they had gluten-free soy sauce. This is a chain, but it was clean, well run, and the staff were great. I would definitely come back here. The only thing I would change is I really love the spicy tuna roll, but I was told that every sushi option that was spicy had gluten, which is not what I usually hear when I ask.
I love Red Bowl! I've been to the Burlington and Cary locations. My favorite dishes are the chicken fried rice, avacado salad with ginger dressing, chicken satay, and beef with broccoli. It's one of my favorite spots to bring my friends and family. Service is quick and staff are friendly. We are able to share the larger dishes and have leftovers.
Great food and quick service! My daughter and I enjoyed our dinner! As soon as we sat down we ordered egg rolls and they literally brought them out as soon as we ordered them. Fresh and hot with plenty of flavor! I ordered the General Tso and my daughter had the Sweet and sour chicken. Both were fresh and tasty! For desert we had the banana egg rolls with ice cream. Honestly I don't know why we haven't been here before! The food was great and the service was amazing. Nothing but good things to say!
