Red Bowl

Tried Red Bowl and ordered the Chicken with Broccoli. It was fine, but honestly pretty average. The chicken was tender enough and the broccoli was cooked well, but the flavor was pretty standard — the kind of Chinese takeout taste you can get almost anywhere in the U.S. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. If you’re craving classic takeout comfort food, it’ll do the job, but I was hoping for something a little more memorable based on the reviews. I’d still be open to coming back and trying some of their other dishes, especially their more specialty items, but the Chicken with Broccoli was just okay.

This is such a nice hidden gem! It's very clean and beautiful on the inside, and the staff was really friendly. The food itself was affordable and delicious! I ordered the hot and sour soup and it was absolutely perfect. What's even more amazing though is the fried rice. You really would think that fried rice would just be what you would get at any other Chinese food restaurant but this rice was so amazingly compact with flavor. I literally have never had better fried rice. It's a must order if you go. I will definitely be back and next time with more people. 😀

We were one of the very few Asian diners in the entire restaurant — including the staff — which already gave us a sense that this wasn’t your typical Chinese spot. It definitely didn’t have the feel or energy of a classic Chinese restaurant. The crispy beef was solid, but nothing that stood out — about on par with what you’d get at Joe’s Shanghai. The pan-fried seafood noodles were also decent, though the squid had a noticeably fishy taste. Given the location being so close to Sunset Park, it’s hard to justify coming here over the many great local Chinatown spots nearby. The lack of Asian diners probably speaks for itself.

Last Friday night, my wife and I, along with another couple, had the pleasure of dining at Red Bowl, located on 3rd Avenue in Brooklyn. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and even introduced to the owner, which underscored the family-oriented nature of the restaurant. Red Bowl offers an enticing blend of Chinese American cuisine. You have the option to choose between authentic Chinese dishes or more American-oriented ones. We sampled a variety of appetizers and main courses, all of which were delicious and well-presented. The service was exceptional, truly at an upper level. One highlight I must mention is their impressive bar selection. As a whiskey lover, I was thrilled to find a diverse array of options, including Scotch whiskey, Japanese whiskey, and American classic Bourbon. We arrived around 7:00 p.m. and before we knew it, it was 11:00 p.m., a testament to the great time we had. The combination of good food, a pleasant ambiance, and friendly people made our evening memorable. Thank you very much to the staff for the wonderful service. I highly recommend Red Bowl to anyone who loves Chinese food. Give it a try—you won't be disappointed!

My husband & I had a delicious dinner this evening at Red Bowl. Not only was the food fantastic & flavorful, but the service was also impeccable. I must mention our server Juan specifically. Not only was he so pleasant & polite, but he also went above & beyond with service. I’m so happy we have Red Bowl as a restaurant option in Bay Ridge. Looking forward to eating there again soon. Thank you Red Bowl‼️
