Red Bowl Asian Bistro — Restaurant in South Carolina

A Scrumptious lunch: Red Bowl in Rock Hill, SC Where traditional Asian Inspired Culinary Delight Meets a Contemporary Charm Nestled in a building near the Harris Teeter Shopping Plaza on Celanese Street in Rock Hill, SC, is a gem of a restaurant. The Red Bowl promises a traditional Asian dining experience that blends the open kitchen equipped with a stir fry bar, sushi bar with a family friendly atmosphere.

The Setting: Welcoming Comfort Though the restaurant was busy, a conversation, laughter and children filled the room without ever feeling overwhelming.

The Service: Thoughtful and Attentive A restaurant’s soul often reveals itself in the attentiveness of its staff, and Red Bowl excels in this regard. Our server, Aidan, greeted us with genuine warmth, answering questions with both clarity and enthusiasm. Throughout our meal, the service struck a harmonious balance between attentiveness and unobtrusiveness. Our water glasses were refilled before we could ask, empty plates disappeared seamlessly, and Aidan checked in just often enough to ensure our comfort without interrupting the flow of our conversation. It was clear that the team at Red Bowl has been trained not merely in the mechanics of good service, but in the art of hospitality.

The Menu: Broad choices with lots of variety The menu is succinct yet varied, with options for omnivores, vegetarians, and those with dietary restrictions. We began our meal with appetizers: The Crispy Wontons are one of our family favorites with just the right amount of cream cheese in each crispy, browned wonton. The potstickers come steamed or fried and we selected fried. They are very lightly friend and had vegetables and pork in them. They come with a sauce that only enhances the flavor. We ordered lettuce wraps that come with chicken and vegetables to put inside them. Those were a hit with the family, too.

For mains, our group runs the gamut of choices. From the Lemon Chicken and Rice to Sweet and Sour Chicken and Rice to General Tso’s chicken (my daughter asked for veggies instead of rice. I selected my favorite Chicken with Cashew nuts and selected veggies instead of rice. The portions are generous with most of us having about half to bring home for dinner. A choice of an egg roll or spring roll is offered with the entrees.

Accessibility and Value The Red Bowl is accessible to all, with thoughtful accommodations for guests with physical challenges. An elder member in our party has a chronic back problem was sitting in a booth because she cannot sit on chairs with hard backs. We were trying to fit 6 people in the booth. The seating situation was going to be very tight. One of the workers suggested they bring a chair with a soft back and move us to a roomier table for 6. Our family was delighted that the worker proactively suggested a soft backed chair without being asked. 4 of us were already seated with beverages and the Red Bowl team moved everything from the booth to the table. The best part is Red Bowl has great food without being expensive. Our family of six mostly had water and no alcoholic beverages and the bill came in under $100 without tip. That is a win!

Final Impressions We have been to the Red Bowl many times and will come back again. The Red Bowl is a restaurant that succeeds on every front: cuisine that delights and surprises, service that comforts and impresses, and an ambiance that invites guests to linger just a little longer. It’s an ideal spot for a celebratory dinner, a romantic night out, or an overdue gathering with friends and family. We are grateful for the opportunity to experience Red Bowl and its charms. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in search of Asian Food with fantastic flavor and team...

LOOK FOR UPDATE BELOW.... I ordered the Red Bowl Ultimate Combo for 2, which was my favorite. I have ordered and eaten at Red Bowl many times and always enjoyed the food. This food was not as times gone by. The egg rolls appeared to be overly tough and the satay chicken was so tough, I had to throw it away. The crab wontons were not crispy, they were chewy and tough and the potstickers  taste like they were made a month ago. I hate to say that the whole meal was completely not the Red Bowl food that I normally have eaten from there. I give the quality as a whole, 1 Star......

THIS IS AN UPDATE:..... I'd like to update this review since I cannot add a separate one so that this 1 star will count.......I should have known better but thought I'd give Red Bowl another go after 7 months thinking it might have been under a different management and had improved....WRONG! Well, needless to say the food has gotten worse!! I don't know how people can eat that food and give it anything but 1 star....everything taste like cardboard and like it was made and stored over a year ago. If I could post a picture I would. It taste and appeared to be food out of one of the restaurants from the TV show, Hell's Kitchen!!?? Maybe they should call on them for some help??!!?? Anyhow, the food was promptly thrown in garbage, chalk the loss of money to stupidity and no more chances...

Absolutely awful customer service. We were seated promptly and waitress was friendly at the start. We quickly placed a sushi order with her. Thinking it might take 10-20 min for a simple appetizer, we were surprised to find 30 min had gone by with no sushi and no sight of our waitress. We looked around and noticed she had been standing talking a customer for the past 20 min straight. She finally makes her way over to us with our sushi and without even acknowledging the fact that we were completely ignored says are you ready to order. No apology whatsoever. We are not difficult guests and would have understood if she would have just apologized due to it maybe being a friend or something. But that’s just plain disrespectful. Our sushi was absolutely cold and gross. We notified her we’d like to make our order to go. The manager came over and after explaining the situation STILL NO APOLOGY. That’s all we were looking for. Red Bowl rock hill does not care about their customers. We weren’t looking for a free meal, or any kind of special treatment. Just treating people like people goes a long way. The food is actually really good here, but I would never come back after the way we were treated. Red Bowl Fort Mill is a much...
