Crouching Tiger Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Redwood City

Crouching Tiger in Redwood City is a good choice for a big group gathering. They have a ton of spacious tables perfect for family-style dining, and our service was fantastic. The staff was friendly, attentive, and kept our water glasses full throughout the meal.

Unfortunately, the food itself was a bit of a mixed bag. The Vegetarian Manchurian house special had a decent sauce, but the Manchurian itself was a bit soggy on the inside. It felt like it had been sitting in sauce for a bit too long. The egg fried rice with BBQ pork was another letdown. The rice was undercooked, and the BBQ pork itself was bland and lacked the smoky sweetness you would expect.

The hot iron plate style chicken had so much potential, but the execution fell flat. They put the chicken on top of the crispy rice, which sounds good in theory, but it meant the rice got soggy almost immediately. By the time you got to the rice, it was all mushy.

Overall, Crouching Tiger is a good option for a large group with friendly service, but the food needs some work. I'd recommend sticking with simpler dishes and maybe skipping the sizzling...

We ordered general zhao tofu, sweet and sour chicken, potstickers, and salt and pepper pork chops. The food came out quickly and all together. Everything was really hot and fresh. The potstickers were really good, perfectly cooked and the skin was well made. The general zhao tofu sauce was a bit over powering. I think it would have been better without the sauce//on the side. The salt and pepper pork chops were really good. The sweet and sour chicken was also well made. The food was fresh and tasted really good.

We loved the ambiance inside and the fresh hot food. They had an extensive menu, so we definitely want to come back again and try their other foods. They also had cocktails for only $9 that we wanted to...
