We came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. We were seated right away. Service was just ok. He wasn't very friendly nor did he provide details on anything. Even when we asked questions he responded with one word answers. You can customize anything here but beware of the up charges. Everything is extra it seems. We ordered their chicken wings which were just ok. Different taste and the sauce was on the side which had a sweet taste. I ordered the stir fry meal with steak and chicken, all the veggies with spicy garlic sauce and fried rice. They have lots of sauce options to choose from if you go that route. Tastes like hibachi. The other guest got bang bang shrimp with lo mein. She said it was good. The other other guest did the bento box with spicy drunken noodles (very tasty!) and crunch roll with bang bang shrimp. She enjoyed her as well though the shrimp are battered in tempura and then sauce added. There are three tvs and a sushi bar. I would try them one more time to really decide if it's worth the money. They do have amazing lunch specials that are available even on the weekends. Try them out. read more

I hate leaving bad reviews but I just felt wrong to not document this experience. I remember this place being great when I was in high school... I don't know if my taste has just changed or it truly has gone down hill. We walked in and we were the only ones here around 1 pm on a weekday... it looked like the place wasn't even open. All the lights were off and there was random things such as Togo boxes and plates all over the tables. The server looked like he hated us and absolutely didn't want to be there. I ordered the bento box- the spicy tuna roll was almost warm?? And quite scary. The bang bang shrimp was an odd color and didn't taste right. Even the egg roll had a mysterious flavor. The server never came back to ask about anything. I'm looking back on my old pictures from here and will compare to the current. This is not how I remember this place at all!! read more

Good Food decent service, hostess has the best outfits per my wife. Great Bang bang and ny style Chinese

Rarely ever am I moved to write a review whilst still sitting IN the establishment , but today is that day. Came in right at 1115 on a Monday. I was seated quickly and there was only one other couple inside. I quickly placed my order and waited about 20 minutes for it to come out. Really not sure why I was given the sauce trio, I ordered nothing that would need any of the dressing they sat before me. The Bao was just...ok. Served hot, but definitely not bursting with flavor. The noodle soup...my gawd what a FAIL! Looks like a chicken soup...smells like a chicken soup...TASTES LIKE air flavored saltines without the salt. The soup literally had NO flavor. I'm not big on salt, but I AM big on flavor...this had neither. The upside, plenty of noodles and veggies. Decent amount of chicken. Horrifyingly tasteless. I won't recommend this spot just yet, but I will come back and give it a second try with a different dish. read more

Went in sunday just before Christmas and the place was like a ghost town. I phone ordered pineapple fried rice. The guy on the other end I couldn't understand and repeated my order 3 times. Got home and to my surprise it was shrimp and some kind of red rice sauce. Called back and did the exchange. Also ordered a large Miso soup which was bland and absolutely no taste. Won't be back The bill was $28 which was at least $10 over what we are used to paying. I now know why this place is dead...don't waste your time... also make sure you speak Chinese!! read more

I think this place lies about their prices. This ticket says a large soup is $4.95 but they charged me $9.70 ,and I went back and asked and they couldn't explain it and tried to say it got to $9.70 because of taxes. I then said taxes wouldn't make it equal $9.70 and then he kept saying a small is $3.50 and a large is $4.95. I continued saying how is it coming out to $9.70 if a large is $4.95 and he switched and said no a large is $8.50. I am not going back there because $10 for a soup is ridiculous and lying about it is even worse. read more

There's not a lot of flavor honestly. I've tried coming here a couple times and each time I'm reminded why I don't like it. So I'm leaving this review more as a reminder. First time I ordered sushi here and it was all gross and super warm. I don't mind their bang bang shrimp, not the best but not horrible. Their lettuce wraps are okay as well. We tried some new things this time and the wontons were the worst I've had in a while. The 'stir-fry' chicken teriyaki had watery sauce and super plain. And the lemon chicken wasn't for me. Just not recommend unfortunately read more

We have ordered a lot from them before and it was great. Tonight we ordered 3 types of sushi and we literally got a very small amount of sushI. This was a horrible experience. We have gotten more for a less price at Sam's club and Kroger. We will not be ordering from this place again. read more

I cannot even express how aggravated I was at this establishment. Two people staffing the entire place. The service was slow, very slow. It took 14 mins to get tea, 48 mins to get food. The ambiance was nonexistent and when the food arrived, the chicken was cold and the sushi roll was room temp. When trying to explain to the server what was wrong, she suddenly seemed not to understand english. We left unsatisfied, and afraid we were going to get sick from the sushi. We are done here!! read more

They charged my account yet never delivered the food. I called and they never answered the phone. One star just so I can post the review.

Food was okay and our server had a hard time comprehending. But overall I think the experience was OK

Came here as a second choice. Another spot had a 40 min wait! It's been a while since I've been here. I ordered the Seared Ahi Tuna and the Bento Box: Hibachi Chicken, Crunchy Roll, Seaweed Salad and Fried Rice. The tuna looked nothing like the picture in the menu. I gave it a funny look when it arrived. It didn't look appetizing at all. Glad it was a happy hour special. I didn't finish it. It was just OK. Nothing really to write home about. The portion sizes have changed since I was last here. The hibachi chicken was too saucy. I wasn't expecting it to be swimming in sauce. The seaweed salad was good. The crunchy roll wasn't bad. The rice could use more flavor. read more

Love the order online/ takeout/ pickup option!! -Very simplified, easy to follow, drop down menu options. -You can select by lunch/dinner category; which is extremely helpful with portions, combos and pricing. -Call an they bring the food out to you in a box, we'll packed with condiments galore!! Every I don't wanna get dressed, outta the car lazy persons dream The Great food helps too! read more

The sushi is pretty decent. Rest of the stuff is way off. I ordered pho and instead of clear broth I got something like a Tom yum. That said, they serve a lot of food for the price read more

Food presentation was good. Staff was very friendly and professional. Restaurant was quite chilly. We kept our coats on! Dim Sum tower disappointed and wasn't edible. So disappointed and it was taken off the bill. Chicken lettuce wraps were delicious and the other gf chicken dish was yummy. Not sure we will be back. read more

A good array of Asian foods and lots of it.... all quite tasty so far! They are open for dine in, take out and delivery. A good value!! read more

Was expecting a Panda Express type joint but it's an actual sit down. The service was okay but the food was excellent. Had the tangerine spicy chicken. Very good flavor. Crispy outside and chicken was juicy. They have brown rice which is a plus for me. The overall ambience was fair to midland and not the cleanest but also not the worst I've seen. Has a wide variety of Asian food which is wonderful for my daughter and I as we moved from the Bay Area and so miss our Asian selections. We will be back to try other dishes and will update the review if it changes our opinion. read more

Worst piece of sushi I ever put in my mouth. No wonder it was empty in the middle of lunch. Big mistake. Absolutely disgusting. read more

Terrible service! Long wait even for water. Had to call the waiter for service. Waiter not helpful. Half an hour before food came. Stir fry chicken was cooked beyond recognition. I would have returned it but didn't want to wait another 30 minutes. NEVER AGAIN! read more

We enjoy eating at Red Bowl. The ingredients are fresh. Great selection of menu items. The service is great and they promptly refill my drink. The servers are so attentive. Decent prices , good food, great service...what more could you ask for? read more

$5 for 2 pieces of tomago that they didn't even bother to thaw out. They weren't busy. We were literally the only people dining at the time. The waitress reaction to me asking if the veggie curry was vegetarian was dismissive and lazy. I'd have been more understanding if she were busy but there was nothing else to be doing. I didn't have high expectations in trying red bowl and a vegetarian option, but they didn't even meet basic customer service standards. read more

So, I had the Westwood roll, my wife had the summer roll, and we split a seared tuna appetizer. Our son and my mother each had a bento box, while our daughter had shrimp lo mein. I'll walk you through our dinner. 6:25 seated. 6:37 drink order taken(yeah 12 minutes to say "water") 6:57 order taken 7:25 dinner served. Seared tuna app- as opposed to being seasoned and popped in a hot pan momentarily, appears to have been dropped in warm water for 30 seconds. Maybe it went through the dish machine. Inedible. Westwood roll - literally the most disgusting sushi roll ever. Topped with mayonnaise. I mean, someone had to have cooked this once before it went on the menu, right? Wife's summer roll - 2 inch thick cucumber with tuna inside. Well, it's low carb. Son's bento box - let's me have his egg roll. Little grainy white chunks inside. I think it is ground chicken. Looks like cheese. Tastes like ass. He eats most of the other stuff though. Mom's bento box- lets me have her spicy tuna roll. Tastes like it was made a few days ago. Rice on outside is dry. Edible at least...though I am now concerned about food poisoning. Mom says her egg roll is also unlike any she's had before...in a bad way. Maybe with enough soy sauce we can get through this. Daughter's shrimp lomein- drenched in sauce, shrimp have achieved that difficult level of being both chewy and grainy. How is this possible? Shrimp literally require 3 minutes in a pan? Service- incredibly slow. Waitress kept asking us to pass our glasses to her when she cold have easily reached them...which is actually her job. Weird. When she poured water she kept the pitcher on the glass, which means every person refilled by that pitcher shared germs. Ick. read more

I came here for my birthday with four other people. it took more than 15 minutes just to be greeted, while it was only us and one other table in the entire restaurant, then another 10 for drinks. finally we get the food and in the past times i've visited it was very good, my boyfriend got two sushi rolls, crunchy roll and california roll, for one , they somehow tasted like water. secondly, there was NO CRUNCH ON THE *CRUNCHY* ROLL. it was a plain rice and fish roll , ZERO topping. i got a bento box, i was eating my sushi (spicy tuna) it tasted terrible, again like WATER. no flavor at all and then when i bit into it something was so hard i almost broke my front tooth. i did not enjoy this place at all. my server was kind tho but it did not make up for the entire experience. Not to mention nobody else enjoyed their food either. this place has gone very downhill. read more

A good family restaurant at a moderate price. Daily specials on sushi, drinks, time of day and age. Ask for a table that is not "sticky", you'll be glad you did. read more

If you are planning to eat inside, definitely wear warm clothes and a flashlight. It's frigid cold inside and the owner keeps the lights off. I had the Pho. Saltiest Pho I ever had. I think a "salt lick" would be less salty. Do yourself a favor and skip the egg roll. Almost as chewy as a piece of bubble gum. read more

This is one of my favorite places in Aiken. I always get their bento box bc for $12.99 you get a choice of sushi, a meat, a rice & an egg or spring roll. And it is all served with delicious dipping sauces. I highly recommend the bang bang shrimp. Saturday is a great day to go to this location too because you get a complimentary salad & kids meals are just $0.99. We spent more on my kids drinks ($1.99 each) then their large kid meals. read more

Flavorless meal. Bang bang chicken was mediocre. The food wasn't the best in the world but I don't want to come back either. Sushi was so bland. In the womens bathroom, the paint looks like it's been painted with nail polish and decorated in cobwebs. Fried rice was so dry. read more

What can I say. We should have listened to the reviews already posted. The sushi was not even mediocre. The Pho tasted like soap and did not have the traditional rice noodles. My wife order a mojito that tasted like pure sugar. The "manager" credited us for the drink but gave us a $4 discount on the $14 soup that was untouched. First and last time here read more

Awful. flavorless. chewy orange chicken. fat BBQ ribs. Very fishy Pad Thai. undercooked egg rolls. over-priced... checked off this off the list. read more

Half price sushi till 6:30, that was a nice surprise. Lovely ambiance, extensive menu, hopping staff, jazz in the background. This restaurant seems to be the spot! If your in the area I recommend this restaurant. And, I am a professional eater. Sushi is moderately priced. The half off makes it a score! read more

Red Bowl - 1st course! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Aiken, South Carolina

OMG!! Roaches!! I've eaten here a few times and it's always been good.. but I'm feeling a little gross after seeing a roach crawl over my Togo box on the table. When I jumped up and told the server, he apologized and said oh sorry about that.. as if this isn't something new. Now service was good and food was good. The cleanliness is NOT... now I just want to throw up my food. That's just nasty!! read more

So glad Red Bowl is available again. I ordered the bento box: I had bang bang shrimp, egg roll, lo mein noodles, spicy tuna sushi roll. It was delicious. I still believe they serve the best in Aiken. read more

I was served raw Xaio Long Bao Pork. There were multiple excuses given but the meat was blatantly raw. The other food was ok but not worth the cost. Prior to leaving a second attempt was made to convince me the meat wasn't raw even though it was bloody and had sinew showing. read more

Red Curry Spicy shrimp is a nice lunch special. Spicy enough. Fusion restaurants suffer from trying to do too much for too many people . The new Dim Sun menu is nice - be warned that the steaming takes 20 minutes but the Cha Cha bao weren't bad. Will be back read more

Just did takeout. Of all the restaurants I have had take out during this pandemic, they are the cleanest and safest. You order and pay on the phone. After 10 minutes you call and they tell you which outside table your food is on. When we got home the food was better than in the restaurant. read more

I give this place 2 stars for their DimSum and peppered chicken dish. Before our entrees came, the server asked if we wanted more water because our glasses were empty. Of course we want more water. The sushi is questionable. I ordered a flash fried tempura roll and it came out cold and soggy. When I asked the waitress if it was supposed to be hot instead of cold. She said yes and turned and walked away before I could ask her for a replacement. We ended up paying for it anyway and we left. I won't go back unless I want Dim Sum. read more

Excellent! I've eaten here before and have enjoyed it in the past. But now they have a happy hour...oh yeah 1/2 price on all sushi, plus they have drink specials as well as appetizer specials. Love this place. Food is great and the staff are friendly. read more
