Good local Chinese!
I have been to the Red Bowl twice. I must say, I thought it would be the no-atmosphere fast food Chinese restaurant since it sits in a strip mall next to Harris Teeter in Mountain Island Lake. You would probably only go there if you lived in that area or were stocking up at the nearby Walmart. YOU WILL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED! The restaurant is bigger than expected with a two tiered dining room.
Both times the servers were nice and attentive to our needs. As for the menu- there was no lemon chicken. I thought that was a staple on a Chinese food menu. Who doesn't like lemon chicken?? I got the sesame chicken instead and it was a little over cooked, which was disappointing. The second time I got the hibachi steak which was excellent.
This place has specials during the week like $4 cocktails and other sushi specials which I always appreciate. I have seen a coupon in the Valpak that comes in the mail for half off an entree which is always a plus.
