    Pork Fried Rice

    We ordered 12 wings and got 6 wings cut in half. we asked for pork fried rice and got what looks like beef

    Crispy Fish

    I ordered takeout. They do not let people come into the building during corona szn but once I got there I called on the phone and they brought the food to my car. The food was all good. Nothing was super amazing but I was over all very happy. The order also came with a thing of sauce with we put over the crispy fish and was delicious. The Chong Quinn spicy dry chicken and the crispy fish were my favorites from the order. The chicken was pretty authentic compared to traditional American Chinese food like pad Thai. We had hoped for string beans also but they were out. It's nothing special but for what it costs and what is advertised it met expectations! Yum

    Chicken Fried Rice

    I've been trying to find the best fried rice around Newark and finally found it here!! Sesame chicken also delicious - takeout measures for COVID are great, barely any contact (calling from outside the store to pick up takeout). 10/10 experience and can't wait for next time.

    Finally! A decent Chinese takeout is very hard to find, especially in the Newark/Elkton area. General Tsos is one of my guilty pleasures and unfortunately until now I've had to hold off until I find the time to go to a semi fancy Asian fusion restaurant. Red bowl is the answer to my takeout prayers! The General Tsos chicken is not that breaded slimy meat with the gloopy sauce that I've come to associate with chinese takeout. Instead, the sauce is fresh with chilli peppers and not too sweet, the chicken is all white meat and I can actually identify what I'm chewing. The fried rice is also a plus and any place that adds egg to their fried rice is good in my book. With that being said, I wouldn't dine in, and when you're calling in make sure you're clear with your order because they speak very little English. The service is quick and the employees are friendly. Kudos to you Red Bowl!

    It was my first time eating here and I loved it!! I used the Yelp app to order and it was really easy. My order was delivered super quick and the delivery man was very nice. I would definitely order again.

    I always order from redbowl, never had problems. Food is good, and they serve a big amount for a low price. Worthy the money you pay.

    Food was mediocre at best. The Lo Mein was dry. The General Tso's chicken was over cooked, dry, and had minimal sauce. I will not be back.

    I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while as I had read reviews saying food was…read moreauthentic. I came in very hungry and ordered the following: wontons in chili oil, Dan Dan noodles, Sichuan spicy tofu. I've had all these dishes at other restaurants before and make the first 2 routinely at home. 1. Dan Dan noodles: portion was huge. It was topped with a creamy very garlicky sauce, including rough chopped fresh garlic ( warmed through but still had some crunch/bite to it). OMG so delicious. Not meat forward (if there was even any meat, I think it was maybe finely sliced fungus instead, it worked perfectly in any case). 2. Wontons in chili oil: I was expecting a bit more flavor to the sauce, instead it was literally just chili oil and seemed kind of diluted and bland even. I added some pieces of garlic from my Dan Dan noodles and let that sit with some dark soy sauce the waitress brought and that did the trick. 3. Sichuan spicy tofu, recommended by the host: came with chicken, fish or beef, I chose chicken. This was massive and I have leftovers I'm looking forward to eating later. Very flavorful with silky tofu. I didn't really enjoy the texture of the chicken though and would have preferred it minced or lower chicken:tofu ratio or with pork. It looks like they have a smaller mapo tofu dish in a different part of the menu without the added meat and I might try that next time. The wild part was the intensity of the Szechuan peppercorn. I routinely crush it freshly at home and eat dishes containing it when out but have never experienced such an intense tingling effect. It felt like my lips and tongue were vibrating and then my water tasted like it had lemon juice squeezed in it. Not sure if it is a different kind than the red one I have at home, or if it is just THAT fresh, but wow. All in all, very enjoyable meal and service. I will for sure be back for the Dan Dan noodles but not if planning to socialize much after given how intensely garlicky they were. Looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu! A suggestion for the menu: I really like the large glossy pictures of each item but it ends up being a lot of pages to turn back and forth through to make a selection, so it would be nice to include just a plain typed list to glance at as well, like a table of contents.

    Chef Tan is one of the better Chinese places in the Newark area. I really don't think authenticity…read morematters a great deal, but Chef Tan is about a 7.5 on a 1-10 point scale measuring authenticity (with Golden Wok Mushu Pork being a one and Richmond Vancouver Chinese stores being a ten), though obviously some dishes are more or less than others The place is relatively spacious, and you can totally have a large party come here. It's also regularly open on typical US holidays, such as Christmas or Thanksgiving, so if you need somewhere to go when everything else is closed, you can really rely on this place. Some things that I think are pretty good here: the vegetable options (though somewhat expensive), the kung pao chicken, the eggplant, the lamb options (including the sliced version, as well as the cumin one where you can add lamb as your option).
