Red bowl Asian Bistro — Restaurant in Tuscaloosa

This place seems to be pretty popular. We decided to try it during the day on a Monday. We probably didn't get the best it has to offer. That being said it is a sit down restaurant, but had no hostess and no sign telling you to seat yourself. The service was slow as well. It took several minutes for the server to arrive. Once we had a server they were prompt with appetizers, drinks and the food. The booth we had was clean and comfortable. I had the #99 Crazy Pinapple and it was very good. Just a unique dish. I have had something similar in a Tai restaurant, but never in a Mexican place. The salsa wasn't my favorite, I don't like onions and it seems like they add fresh cut onions just before it comes out. I tried the honey shrimp from the Red Bowl side and it was also very good. Overall it wasn't a bad experience and it came out to around $55 with my daughter getting the pan seared dumplings (also very good), and my brother and wife getting a lunch combo. Overall it was good, but neither the Mexican food or the Asian food was as good as other restaurants in the area. Pretry cool getting chips and salsa at an Asian...

I can't say that everything here is bad because I have only tried one item. My husband and I came in and ordered Pho to dine-in, and it was just.. okay. Nothing was special about the broth. It didn't have the deep flavor as Pho should, and I could not taste the aromatics. The meat was tough and overcooked, (it should be thin sliced so the hot broth cooks it). It had cabbage which is not traditional, but honestly was the best part. No lime wedge, only lemon. Big stems of Cilantro that were annoying to eat around. No bean sprouts or chilis of any kind... It would be a decent noodle soup if you didn't know what to expect from Pho. It did come with a dollop of Hoisin sauce and a side cup of Sriracha that helped with flavor. The Service was lovely, though. I liked the elder asian-american woman. She was not our waitress, but she checked on us a few times and cleared our bowls. She was very sweet! The restaurant was clean and presentable, as well. I'd be willing to come back and give something else a try. I'm hoping maybe the Chinese dishes...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Red Bowl Asian Bistro and I have to say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

The menu at Red Bowl Asian Bistro offers a wide variety of Asian dishes, from traditional Chinese and Thai to more unique and fusion options. I had the pleasure of trying the Pad Thai and it was absolutely delicious, with the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. The portion was also very generous and I couldn't finish my plate.

Another standout was the service, which was prompt and attentive. My drink was refilled frequently and the staff checked in on us regularly to ensure we were enjoying our meal.

If you're looking for a delicious Asian meal, I highly recommend Red Bowl Asian Bistro. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is perfect for a casual dinner out. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant and highly recommend...
