I am a stickler when it comes to Chinese food in the sense that I'd rather go to Panda Express instead of the places I've tried as they lacked flavors or didn't hit the spot the way they should. So after combing through tons of Yelp reviews for a Chinese place in my back pocket, I added this restaurant to my list to try and kept my eye on it for a while. On a casual Friday night, my husband and I decided to grab some Chinese food for dinner and immediately, I knew I wanted to try Red Bowl. Friday night + no cooking = easy night. That is a win win in my book. With four boys, we opted for takeout instead of dining in. My husband called to place an order and when I asked him how service was over the phone, he said the woman who took his order was nice and kind. For dinner, we chose the Spicy Rock Shrimp, Beef Chow Fun, Vegetable Fried Rice and Chicken and Broccoli. Solid, I'd have to admit but with some very minor downfalls. The Rock Shrimp was the best but everything else tasted really good too. Not very spicy for us, but had a nice kick. Fried rice was tasty and my kids tore up the Chicken and Broccoli - it was the first dish to go. Chicken was cooked well, not dry and the texture was silky and soft. The cook on the broccoli tasted great. Chow fun is one of Hubby and my go-tos and while the noodle texture was cooked to perfection, we thought it needed more seasoning and flavor. The beef in it was pretty amazing though. Overall, the chow fun was good, but it was kind of bland and we were left wanting more. Portions looked sort of small AT FIRST, but actually fed our family of 6 with plenty of leftovers. I'd try it again and get other dishes, for sure. read more

Wonton soup, eggrolls, spring rolls, pepper steak, Kung pao chicken and pork fried rice. All amazing!!! They even provided a piece of cake for my boyfriends birthday. We had a great time. The booth we sat in was next to the beautiful fish tank. Booth was comfortable, and super comfortable. I had a martini, the bartender crushed it. Chefs kiss to tonight's last minute dinner. read more

The full seats visible through the window made me stop. Restaurant workers are friendly, helpful, and efficient with food delivery. This restaurant is worth remembering for future visits. These meals please alongside attentive personnel. I came upon this quality spot through recommendations. read more

I've had this place on my "try" list for a number of months and finally decided to pull the trigger last night because I tested positive for Covid and needed something tasty and reliable that was relatively close to home and could do delivery. I ordered everything through the Yelp app and noticed right away that the prices are much pricier than your average Chinese American takeout place. Regardless of that I decided to persevere and order my usual staples for my family. I ended up ordering three egg rolls, a hot and sour soup, chicken and broccoli and an orange chicken for hubby and steamed dumplings for my son. It came rather quickly and was packaged very well so I had no issues with that. I did however, notice that there were some very chewy chicken pieces from the chicken and broccoli plate, which was rather off putting. I've never experienced anything like that before especially from such a highly recommended place like Red Bowl. I will say that my son did thoroughly enjoy his steamed dumplings and the eggroll so that was a win for me. The hot and sour soup was good, but not the best I've ever had. I would be very curious to try this place out while dining in versus my takeout experience. I will say, though I was pretty surprised that for spending over $100 on the above mention food everything should've been a 10 out of 10, but I just didn't experience that. I would come back here eventually, but not right away. read more

One of the best Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood. Good quality food and great prices. Place is decorated so also a good choice for an indoor experience. Ordered the shrimp in walnut sauce, sesame chicken, crispy beef and fried crab Rangoon. Everything was excellent and portions are large enough to share among 2-3 people. Service is also great, they will accommodate if you want to add more spice or change to white meat chicken. They have lunch specials on weekdays. read more

Some of theeeee best Chinese food in Brooklyn! So good, i would drive all the way from Flatbush (in crazy traffic) to Bayridge just to get takeout! i just recently moved, so sadly, Red Bowl's delicious food is no longer available to me, but i'd be remiss if i didn't applaud them for their well-seasoned and well-executed flavors, great customer service, and overall beautiful vibes emanating from their dining room. Next time i'm home i'm definitely visiting Red Bowl. Whatever you order there, it's bound to be superb. read more

Very Clean restaurant. Nicely decorated. The service is pleasant and attentive. The food is clean, fresh, and delicious. The wonton soup is the best I ever had. Will definitely visit again. read more

This restaurant has a great reputation for its Chinese food. Their Chinese food is decent for the area. The restaurant is cozy like a diner in the front and garden like in the back. The service was excellent. I did not care for their schezuan food at all. We lost our excellent Scezuan restaurants in Bay Ridge and I was hoping that this would be a good replacement. read more

Service was quick and attentive. All of the food was very good. It's a lively atmosphere but not too loud. This was our second visit. We had the spicy garlic cucumber salad, sea salt edamame, pork belly bao, spring rolls, fried vegetable dumplings, chow fun with vegetables, broccoli with garlic sauce, tofu with mixed vegetables, crispy beef, and glazed mayo walnut prawns. At the end of the meal with the check we were given pineapple chunks and fortune cookies. We also had the green tea ice cream which was a nice way to end our dinner together. We all throughly enjoyed our food and will definitely come back. Highly recommended... read more

Inconsistent quality and way overpriced for what they deliver. My wife went here with friends and said it was good (they were all drinking a lot). So we decided to try it and we're disappointed to say the least. We ordered the below as takeout and the only thing we would even consider reordering is the crispy honey beef which was very good. The rest of the dishes were terrible. And for the price of over $75 including tip go elsewhere. Many better Chinese places in Bay Ridge for less $$$. Mongolian beef Crab Rangoon Crispy honey beef Singapore Mei fun read more

Sooo, I've been eyeing this place since they opened. I've their Williamsburg location but haven't been able to go as often as I like. Turns out, the Williamsburg location is no more and they just have this one in Bay Ridge. It's super spacious and pretty - y'all, even the bathroom downstairs is beautiful! IG worthy! Lol I got the pork fried dumplings and fried chicken baos. Both realllly good. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. They give you a watermelon w/your check read more

Came by as the place looked nice from the outside and I wanted to support a new local business. I decided to order take out and I went to pick it up as I wanted to see the place. When I called in the order they were nice on the phone and had the food ready in under 15 minutes which was great! Most restaurants on a Saturday night after 6:30 pm might take up to an hour. Upon entering they have a beautiful bar area( see my photos). The have a few booths and a two other large rooms from what I observed at a quick glance. The bar was pretty full and overall the restaurant was busy. Nice to see as they have only been open for a few weeks. The restaurant looks very nice overall from just walking in about 40 feet. The person who rang up my order was extremely nice and we talked al little about the business. I told him I would write a review as there were only 4 reviews so far. Ok, so now to the food. I ordered Steamed Chicken Dumplings, Rock Shrimp , Chicken Pad Thai, and Beef Lo Mein. The best dish was the Rock Shrimp it had good flavor and a nice kick. The Steamed Chicken Dumpling were good. I was a little disappointed with the other two dishes. The beef Lo Mein for some reason was oily and did not have much taste. It was really bland. The Pad Thai was bland and the only way to introduce some flavor was to squeeze the lime on it. I know they have only been open a few weeks, I hope the manager will read my review and work to improve the flavor of those dishes. I am providing constructive feedback as I want them to succeed. Everyone I spoke with was nice and I will wait a few weeks and decide if I will go back. I would recommend them and I would say that I think people most will have a good time. read more

Though I've been told that the Red Bowl Chinese restaurant had been here for a couple of months it wasn't until just the other day that a friend suggested we stop in for a bit of lunch. As I am ALWAYS game to try a new place in my neighborhood I jumped at the chance. We were greeted by the manager and quickly seated in one of the booths just past the bar area. There is a sizable bar but no one seated at this since it was very early in the day. I also didn't recall the ability to just do that if you wished. We decided on the lunch menu options and they are loaded with the standard fair that one finds in such an establishment which is never a bad thing to me. I opted for a bowl of Egg Drop soup and my friend the Spring Roll and for the main courses an order of General Tso's Chicken for me and Shrimp w Lobster Sauce for my friend. Within minutes the starters came out and I am happy to report that the soup was very tasty. It was not a day for soup at all considering the almost 100 degrees heat, but I wanted to see how they did theirs and I was happy with the result. The main courses came out shortly afterwards and I liked the presentation. My chicken dish was on one side of the plate with the opted for white rice on the other. Since the shrimp dish is on the saucy side my friends came in a bowl with the rice in a separate container and a plate to blend them together. I love the level of heat in mine as it was spicy but not too much and since my friend let me sample their dish, I can say that this was very tasty as well. After this we decided to have some dessert and had orders of green tea ice cream and pistachio cheesecake. Well done across the board. Aesthetically speaking this is a lovely restaurant with spacious tables and booths. The main dining room is towards the back and under the glass enclosed structure. Very nice looking for sure. The staff was friendly and quick and they checked on how we were doing and if anything else was needed. I didn't detect an open WiFi but since I was mainly there to eat I didn't care about my email at the time. Now it's not a secret that Bay Ridge has NUMEROUS takeout Chinese Restaurants and while some of them offer you the means to sit down and dine, they are nothing like this. This harkens back to the days of Lum Chin and dare I say Lamps of China for those who remember that time in Bay Ridge history. It's so nice to have a proper sit-down Chinese restaurant in Bay Ridge again after so long not having a place of this size. I highly recommend Red Bowl and will be back there again soon. read more

Food was very good. Be mindful of service charges. I called the order into restaurant, no service charge.

Didn't expect much as I was in for a quick lunch with my girlfriend was pleasantly surprised by how fast and tasty the food was. The environment was lively and welcoming while the service was also top notch. We ordered 3 dishes ( Fried fish, spicy cumin lamb, and fried rice) pair with a hot and sour soup. The food came quick and the waiters even came over to speak with us and make conversation. If you live in Brooklyn this is a really nice restaurant that should be added to anyone's go-to list. read more

Red Bowl - Cantonese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Stumbled upon this cute Chinese restaurant in bay ridge one day. My wife and I decided to go in to try and it is beautiful inside. It was huge and they also have 2 rooms that can host private parties. We started off with the fried calamari. First time having it this style and it was surprisingly good. Came with duck sauce and paired really well together. Wasn't oily but full of flavor. Singapore Meifun was delicious! The curry flavor was excellent and so was the spice level. A lot of places I go for this, the shrimp gets over cooked but it was cooked perfectly. All the ingredients were very fresh as well The Chongqing chicken was my first time ever having. Our server recommended it to us. It's fried pieces of chicken mixed with chili peppers. If you like spicy, then definitely get this dish. It's so aromatic and flavorful If you're wondering how this place is named Red Bowl, get the hot and sour soup. It comes in a red bowl. It was really comforting and was good for the soul Egg roll was crunchy, flavorful, and not too oily. Service was excellent. Would come back again! read more

My friend and I came for lunch the other day. There's plenty of seating, it's clean. I've been to Chinese restaurants since I'm a child, and that's a very long time. They put noodles on the table but no duck sauce or hot mustard, and the noodles were basic. We did have the wonton soup, pork fried rice and orange beef. The soup was I thought was very good, nice light wontons and a rich broth not overly salty. Pork fried rice was also excellent, lots of shaved pork and egg. We also shared the orange beef which we couldn't stop eating! Crispy fried thin pieces of beef in a slightly spicy sweet sauce. One of the best orange beef dishes I've had lately. However I deducted one star because for the price they charge there was no tea on the table or condiments to dip the noodles in. In fact this is the first Chinese restaurant that didn't do that. I would come back but it's a little too expensive for a weekly friends lunch. read more

Very nice and cozy interior and the food is delicious! The chicken and broccoli had that classic Brooklyn flavor you'd expect in Bay Ridge.

Food was great! This was Rock Hill. Menu said 15.50. We got tofu so was upcharged of $3 so should have been $18.50 (didn't see on the menu about the upcharge). But our bill said $17.50 PLUS $3 upcharge. When we questioned our server why we were charged 17.50 for the food PLUS $3 for tofu she said that was the price even thought the menu said 15.50. So as we left we checked the menu and it did say $15.50 for what we bought. Loved the food but won't be back when the menu says one thing and then they charge what they want. read more

Ordered via Uber eats . Food was delivered hot and well packaged . The food also looked good and was plentiful . As some others have mentioned , this place is not the cheapest of Chinese restaurants . The chicken itself from my meal was a real shame . It had no depth of seasoning or much flavor outside of the deep fried outer crust which also didn't offer much crunch or crispness . It was rather disappointing eating. I tasted the general tso chicken and it was alot better. Maybe it was because of the smaller pieces or the richness of the sauce that could cover up flaws . I'd say they aren't totally inept with cooking chicken but I was too turned off by my meal to care about trying this restaurant again . read more

Red Bowl - Under- seasoned chicken . Little to no depth . - Cantonese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My review is based on take out only. Based on the price tag of the entrees you can assume you are receiving a premium quality item and also larger portions. I ordered the lunch special chicken with broccoli and chose the hot and sour soup. I also got the beef chow mein. I asked if I can have a different vegetable or mixed vegetable but anything other than broccoli was an up charge. For a $12 lunch special another up charge would bring this up to full price for a lunch special size. The soup was so peppery it was inedible. Message to the chef, please omit this ingredient. The lunch special was a typical Chinese takeout quality. I chose garlic sauce and it was spicy so beware, definitely more of a Szechuan flare. The beef chow fun was tasty and it was my first time trying so I have nothing to compare to. The beef was tender and flavorful and the noodles accompanied them well. It was a large portion and can be easily shared with 3-4 people. Overall I think the food quality is good and is of a higher standard than your average takeout joint but may be enjoyed more if you dine in and share read more

Came in for the lunch special which is from M-F from 12-4 PM. Comes with a soup (egg drop, wonton, and hot and sour) that you can choose from or an egg roll. I opted to go for the wonton soup and Seasme chicken as my entree. Upon arrival you can tell that Red Bowl is really well-kept, modern and looks pretty fancy compared to other Chinese restaurants in the area. Wonton soup tasted pretty good, had 2 pieces. Sesame chicken was crispy and plump. It also came with rice and broccoli as well, which helps balance out the tangy flavor of the chicken. The hostess lady was extremely nice, which offered me to sit at the bar while I wait for my food and even offered me water for which so I respectfully declined. Food came out fairly quickly in less than 10 minutes. Special costed $12 which came out to be a little over $13 after taxes. Overall good experience, a solid and filling lunch. read more

If you love authentic chinese food, you'll love this restaurant! Come here all the time with friends/family and the staff make you feel like family. The hot and sour soup is a personal favorite but don't take my word for it. 11/10 would recommend!! read more

Conveniently located 1 block away from the subway, Red Bowl is a great and authentic Chinese restaurant. We came for a baby shower and the food and service was amazing. If anything, I'm actually super impressed by the service and recommend coming here. In terms of decor, they had their holiday decorations up in the greenhouse/sunroom and it was very tastefully done. For anyone looking to plan a large group dinner or do a date, I would recommend you try to sit in that patio room because of the great decor read more

Dined at Red Bowl Chinese in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY, as I was craving Americanized Chinese cuisine. Ordered crispy beef, General Tso's, and pea pods with water chestnuts. Crispy beef was incredible. Sweet and crunchy. Asked for general Tso's to be spicy, but it just wasn't to my liking. Every restaurant makes it differently, you know? Pea pod dish was incredible but similarly priced to meat dishes. The service was excellent. Seems family run. The waiter was very friendly. Ambiance is nice with an aquarium. Not crowded for dinner despite dining on a Saturday night. Parking is very difficult. Found a spot far away after looking for 20 minutes on a Saturday night. read more

Great experience. We came as a group of 10 when they opened at 12pm to celebrate a graduation. They were easily able to accommodate us. Its a nice space but it's a little on the small side. I can see it filling up quickly so it's probably best to get there earlier rather than later. The space is beautifully decorated, the chairs are comfortable and the service staff were nice. The Food...I saved the best for last. They have a lunch special Mon to Fri from 12pm to 4pm for around $12. The entree comes with white rice and either a soup or spring roll. I shared the crab rangoon, the fried wontons and the young chow rice with the group. The rice was great it had plenty of nice sized shrimp and tasted delicious. I had the sesame chicken with wonton soup from the lunch special and it was fantastic. The wontons were thin and delicate little pockets that held a nice amount of pork. The lunch special soup comes with 2 wontons. The soup was delicious and so were the wontons but maybe a little on the salty side. The sesame chicken were these tasty, crunchy little bites and the portion was pretty good. Obviously these meal was a cut above the standard takeout lunch specials of your corner Chinese food takeout places. It maybe a few dollars more but the taste more than makes up for it. I haven't had this kind of delicious Chinese food in a while. It seems that especially after the pandemic Chinese takeout places have gone down in quality and taste and the prices have certainly gone up. I don't mind paying more for delicious food. The place is pretty new but I suspect in the next few months it'll be almost impossible to get a table here. read more

I was delivered inedible crispy duck costing $35.00 to be thrown in the garbage immediately. it was rancid and definitely leftover from at least a day. It was soggy and disgusting!!! Do not trust this restaurant that is more concerned about money than good food. Throw bad food out, not try to get over on customer. duck is a luxury to order, not a $2.00 lunch special shame on you! You're a very greedy establishment read more

So excited to have red bowl in Bayridge! I couldn't wait to come in and try it as soon as I saw the sign go up. They have an absolutely gorgeous interior Where you could easily have a party or just go out and enjoy a nice meal with friends or family. They also have a lunch special Mon- Friday. I got the mapo tofu lunch special and the portion was very generous. We mostly ordered appetizers to share and everything we tried was delicious but the stand out items were the rock shrimp and scallion pancakes. I can't wait to come back and enjoy a meal here again. read more

Most noteworthy was the great customer service. Once you walk into the door the waiters will try their best to get to know you and make you feel comfortable. My boyfriend and I ordered: crispy fish fillet, spicy cumin lamb, fried rice with Chinese sausage, and hot and sour soup on the side. Really recommend these dishes unless you can't handle spicy then you might need to reconsider the spicy cumin lamb. Overall, I love the sense of neighborhood vibes and would recommend if you are ever in the Bay Ridge/BK area! read more
