Don't fear the fusion. I wasn't sure what to get but the Yelp-approved red curry was a good choice, with impressively fresh vegetables including broccoli, mushrooms and red peppers. And the chicken cheese egg roll fun? Authentic Chinese fare, no, but authentic suburban cuisine, you betcha. It's been some time since I enjoyed the delightful burn of complementary mustard on crunchy complementary noodles. Waldwick is quieter than some of its neighbors in normal times and given that it was Christmas I didn't know if anything would be open. Very glad to discover Red Bowl; from observing interactions with several regulars it seems the locals are already on board. read more

Remarkably unremarkable. "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one." Typically I am in the ever-most agreeance with Billy Shake; however, this is a law that applies to some but not all. This law should not be applied here. Master of nothing. And Jack of a farcical fusion trade. The epitome of, yea that was an OK dinner. The Thai food is bland, the Chinese food is underwhelming, the sushi is actually fine. I grew up spoiled off of the well-rounded juggernaut named Jumbo of Airmont who did EVERYTHING well. Iykyk sista. Red Bowl couldn't even fry their rice. Could never chicken their broccoli. Wouldn't dare to lace their lo mein. Which is a shame, because sometimes you want a dynamic dinner of all the above: Chinese and sushi and thai but oh my the sharks out of the water here. Broke through the waves but just can't walk on the land - Even though it so would like to. Evolution takes millenniums. And God chose the homosapiens, go complain to the aliens. These fusion factories often pry on the weak families who can't decide between the three, but it's clear as a mist-less day... they whiff hard at the tee. You will be crestfallen if you appreciate every dinner as your last. If you don't mind an average meal, then I and this review are not for you. Don't be abashed by your carelessness, we all have different purposes in life. Linguini's is just a higher purpose, and with that I tap out here... to never return. read more

Probably my favorite Chinese takeout ever, the food is amazing! I highly recommend eating in the restaurant - everything is so much better when it's fresh from the kitchen - and the service is excellent! They are very good with gluten free options. Thai and Sushi options are just as good as the classic Chinese dishes. read more

Our family ate here over the weekend, on a Saturday afternoon. They have lunch specials on Saturday which is a nice surprise given many restaurants usually only do it for weekdays. The lunch special ends at 3 pm. I got the chicken with string beans. It has a kick to it, and the chicken was not what I would normally expect when you order it at a chinese take out spot, but it was good nonetheless. Bring a jacket. It's chilly in here, especially if you have little ones. read more

Everyone needs to read this review and then go straight to Red Bowl. I ordered off Postmates three times now and all I can say is.. wow. The food has a really authentic taste and I have yet to be disappointed by anything I've ordered thus far. Sushi - all of the sushi I've had was SUPER fresh. You can tell this is good sushi grade vs the cold bland sushi you sometimes get from restaurants UNAGI Don - wow, the eel over rice was soo good. Huge pieces and also fresh Beef Chow Fun - has the smoky wok(hay) flavor that only authentic joints can really fill out this type of dish. Steak hibachi - the steak was cooked perfectly and what makes this more impressive is it was a delivery order! Crab Rangoon - delicious Mango sticky rice - my wife loves it. Ordered it twice back to back Hot n sour soup - it's been hard to find a legit one in the area without tasting too thin or mild. This is the new go to place for this! I could go on but check it out for yourself. Everything is packed with flavor and the price is not bad even for dinner. GO NOW TO RED BOWL. read more

Hands down best Chinese food in the Bergen/Rockland area. Went for the first time to meet friends and all I can say fresh, delicious, tasty and great service. The sushi was excellent and fresh. I loved everything we ate: Dumplings, Spicy tuna roll salmon avacado roll, wonton soup. Pineapple fried rice, chicken and broccoli, beef chowfun and crispy beef. Only downside, I wish I lived closer. We will definitely be back! read more

I have only gotten takeout so I will not be able to judge the in dining experience. The interior does look nice the few times I've picked up orders. The food is hands down, the best Chinese food I have eaten in northern NJ. The sauces are delicious and the food is also cooked accurately and to perfect consistency. I can't describe it better than to say that if you take whatever traditional Chinese American fare you have ever had and just make it taste absolutely perfect you end up with Red Bowl. I will make one negative comment. The portions are small. I generally view this as a guilty pleasure as the food tastes so good but it is very difficult to justify the price/quantity ratio. Ordering for a large family will be eye watering. But the food. read more

Discovered Red Bowl on Uber Eats and decided to get some takeout for dinner tonight. All in all everything was pretty good and we would order from here again. What we ordered: 1. Unagi Don - the unagi was tasty and portion size was good. 2. Chirashi - fish was fresh and there was a good variety. My only suggestion would be to replace the imitation crab with either the sweet egg or another type of fish. 3. Wontons w/ Hot Sesame Sauce - tasty and flavorful. It brought the heat! 4. Crispy Spicy Chicken - chicken was tender and the spicy sauce was delicious. 5. Drunken noodles - good flavor and heat. Noodles were not soggy and had good texture. read more

For a while, Red Bowl was pretty insistent upon using their website to place any orders rather than calling. If I ordered for myself, I would simply make a note requesting that they use gluten-free noodles for my dishes. This was completely ignored and regular noodles were used in my dish instead. I did not realize this was an issue until the next time I ordered and they gave long, stringy noodles in the container. When my boyfriend asked them why they were different, they insisted that they were actually the gluten-free noodles that are always used. It's nice knowing they do not take any food sensitivities into consideration. I would definitely not recommend Red Bowl if you have any special requests or sensitivities. read more

Clean and quick Chinese fusion food for those long waits at the Wallington DMV. Not the best, not the worst. The Pad Thai was decent and the portion was quite large. This is being written during the pandemic, so there was no seating. Just takeout. read more

During our recent trip to NJ, we did takeout from this place on my brother's recommendation. He loves this place and orders from here often. I got the following dishes: - Indian pancake: had to order this without the chicken in the curry. The curry was simply delicious. However, the bread was way too oily and overcooked. Had to throw the bread away. Wish it was soft and not dripping in oil. - Red curry with veggies: loved the curry. It was full of flavor and spiced perfectly. - Hibachi noodles: this was ok. Wasn't a big fan. Would like to order again from this place and try other dishes. read more

Good and timely service Ordered the chicken and broccoli and was good. Gray Chinese and Japanese combo. read more

We ordered take out from here on Wednesday night, the day before Thanksgiving, and they knocked it out of the park. We were looking for quality healthier Chinese good that is not heavily sauced or deep fried. We ordered over 100 dollars worth of food, and everything was fresh and delicious. We ordered multiple apps, including fried pork dumplings, beef gyoza, chicken and cashews, mooshoo chicken and the chicken lettuce wraps and we shared everything. We found a new tradition and a great location. Way to go guys. read more

Food here is a hit or miss. I have had their Chinese, Japanese and Thai dishes. There Thai dishes are ok. Only complaint I have is their Thai spicy basil. Lacks broth and protein to vegetable ratio is off. Way to much to much vegetables. There general tso chicken is good. The chicken is nice and crispy. Good amount of chicken. Decent local spot if you like variety of Asian food. read more

My husband was craving Chinese food so on a whim we decided to try Red Bowl and I am so glad we did! The Spring Rolls and Gyoza were classic and so delicious. He got the Beef with Broccoli and I got the Thai Spicy Basil with Chicken. It was all some of the best Asian Fusion we've had in a while. It's not listed on the menu anymore but they have Thai Iced Tea and it's the best. The waitresses were incredibly kind and attentive. They were also training some new servers but still didn't miss a beat. Do yourself a favor and go give them a try! read more

I can't say enough kind words about the owner, staff and their food. We have been going here for well over a year now and these people treat you like family ( the ones that like you! Lol) We are always greeted with a warm smile and sincere, " how are you?" We now bring my parents here as well and they have grown to love it, just as much as we do! It has been our go to place and we always look forward to their delicious food and wonderful hospitality. We wish continued success to this hard working family and staff. read more

Red Bowl - Drunken Noodles with chicken at a level 3 spice level Portion size is enough for two, but somehow I manage to eat it ALL! - Chinese Near Me - Waldwick, New Jersey

I think we've finally found our go-to for dinner on our trip home to the Hudson Valley from Newark Airport. This has been no small feat, but thanks to all the great Yelp reviews, we found Red Bowl. Note to self and others in a similar post-flight predicament: bring a bottle of wine because they do not have a liquor license. I noticed that the other tables around us all thought ahead, a bunch of happy regulars, always a good sign. They will provide glasses and ice bucket. Not sure of the corkage fee. Red Bowl is one of those places that surprise you, given its humble strip mall exterior. As my guy noted, they did a lot with the interior and made it rather charming. Our hostess smartly sat us in the adjacent room that didn't contain a lively group of little leaguers. Nice! I know a lot of people balk at the idea of ordering sushi in a fusion place like this one, but we took that chance and were very satisfied with the results. I had a Buddha roll with peanuts and avocado, which is delicious. Some of the avocado could have been more ripe, a common thing in sushi restaurants where the knives are so sharp they probably cannot tell if the avocado might need more time. My guy absolutely loved his Godzilla roll. I also had tofu and vegetables, with Szechuan sauce on the side. It's a simple dish but so so good! The vegetables were perfectly steamed and crisp and they were able to also fry the tofu which I prefer to steamed, so that it's more flavorful. I appreciate that there are so many sauce options. Thai spicy basil sauce, I'm coming for you next time. If Red Bowl were in our neighborhood, I have no doubt we're be eating here or ordering in weekly. It's that type of place where you want to be a regular and judging by the room full of happy diners around us, it's a common feeling. The staff is so personable and there were a lot of familiar greetings going around. For us, it makes that trip home from EWR almost something to look forward to from here on out! read more

Fresh sushi and good Chinese food. Good salmon avocado roll was fresh & delicious. Good array of Asian food including Chinese and Japanese. Great takeout! read more

Delishus!! Only gripe?? Ordered pancakes and there was one pancake.. disappointed. But worth every cent Delivery guy was nice. Thus is a favorite moving forward read more

Perfect place to order a mix of cuisines for a large family for sure. Good sushi/roll selection. Very clean and well-prepared. Also got curries which were spot on and authentic. Highly recommend. Good local spot for a variety asian takeout. read more

Pad Thai with pink citrus sauce? Apparently they use different recipe from other Thai recipe so don't expect it to be good

Great food, excellent service. Lots of attention from the staff. Limited seating adequate parking

They don't de-vain their shrimp . All the food was good. But when I opened the shrimp and saw non cleaned shrimp, I felt sick to my stomach. So Gross read more

Will update to say I've been very disappointed with recent orders. Not the quality of the food but more the missing of it. Instead of doing my usual delivery I have been driving there to pick up. Twice now I come home to find half the food missing. Then I have to wait for them to deliver it and on top of it tip the guy- It's obviously not his fault. An overall pain when you were looking to eat at a specific time and now can't. read more

The food actually is quite good, if not a little overpriced, but what isn't these days? The reason for my review is that I had specifically requested no spice. Mango Chicken should not be spicy, but regardless, I always say NO SPICE. My meal arrived covered in red pepper flakes. I called and they sent a new one.. covered with twice as much revenge flakes as the first dish. It's inedible to me as Red Pepper can send me to the hospital. Never again. read more

Red Bowl - Revenge Red Pepper Flakes - Chinese Near Me - Waldwick, New Jersey

Tried it out on a recommendation from my boyfriends coworker and she was right! From the outside I was a little unsure. It's in a small strip mall and didn't look inviting . One step inside and my tune changed. A very cute, clean , byob place ! Miso soup was great, not overly salty and full of tofu that wasn't slimy. Spicy Kani salad was perfect. Just the right amount of heat to it and very fresh. The red bowl roll was great and had my fave in it , asparagus! The sauce on it had a nice heat to It. Sweet potato roll was great as well as the spicy tuna. This is one place we will def be returning too! read more

It was a Monday afternoon and I was craving some pineapple rice. Most thai food restaurants are closed on Mondays, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this spot. I ordered the chicken pineapple fried rice togo. It was not the traditional pineapple rice that i was expecting, but it hit the spot. I'm not sure if its traditonal or typical (and my usual thai places just don't) to put raisins and red onions into pineapple fried rice, but it was still tasty. A bit different than what I was expecting and there were only about 3 little pineapple pieces in it, but the portion was huge. The staff was friendly and the food was done fast. I will definitely comeback to try a different thai dish from this place read more

Red Bowl - Pineapple fried rice - Chinese Near Me - Waldwick, New Jersey

Decided to try this New and Hot recommendation from Yelp. They are having a bit of difficulty with their service, perhaps they are having staffing problems. Hostess friendly, but not very efficient. That being said, I would forgive the wait if the food tickled my taste buds. Tried the Thai side of the menu, and unfortunately it was not up to par. Green curry shrimp was average, the accompanying rice bowl was a bit too al dente. Then to follow, the Pineapple Fried rice was a bit too mushy and lacked flavor. Tried an Eel Avocado roll to sample the sushi side of the menu, this was not bad. Disappointed that this Hot and New restaurant does not live up to my expectations. Perhaps they are still new and working out the kinks, I would love to have an Asian restaurant conveniently located. read more

Horrible experience. Just ordered dragon ball was rotten and 2oz portion cup of spicy mayo they filled up just %10 percent of that portion cup I called them the (host or phone girl whatever they call ) said that's way we serve and laughed me nothing seemed fresh ,Perhaps it's time the moved on, and closed the doors. My opinion stay away there is lots of alternative better sushi place near by read more

Your response makes zero sense if you take the time to read my complaint. This fault lies clearly on Red Bowl! I ordered via Uber Eats. Red Bowl stapled WRONG NAME AND RECEIPT on bag. Instead of correcting mistake you suggested I just eat the wrong order (sushi) instead of chinese food I ordered. I think your sushi is sub par and I would never eat much less order. Red Bowl made no attempt to correct $80 mistake (including Uber tip) So I got screwed out of $80. No way to do business in any trade. Your response is embarrassing. read more
