| - I am not a huge fan of the ubiquitous Pan-Asian restaurants that try to do it all: Chinese, Sushi, Hibatchi, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.
It take different skills & experiences as well as cooking & prep techniques to do each of these well and when you have a small staff trying to do them all, the results usually turn out to be mediocre.
However, for the most part I have found this particular Red Bowl is a little better than other similar restaurants I have been to in the area.
Depending on who takes your order, they ask which veggies you want in your dish. This is great because my S.O. doesn't like a lot of veggies and he can get his dish customized to his liking. I am also a little picky about certain veggies so I like being able to change those up as well.
Also, many other places tend to load up their dishes with mainly veggies & very little chicken...but on our last couple of orders they hooked us up with the chicken.
A lot of times I will get takeout on the way home...but when dining in, the bento boxes are a great way to get a variety of options with your meal.
Overall, prices are pretty much in line with similar restaurants. Last night I picked up a $29 to-go order that included Kung Pao chicken w/white rice & an egg roll for my SO. And I got Hibatchi Chicken with brown rice, and a Vietnamese shrimp summer roll.
The chicken dishes both had plenty of chicken as well as nice amount of veggies. The Vietnamese Shrimp roll was disappointing...next time I will just get the egg roll and go to a Thai restaurant when I want the shrimp roll.
Another plus is that there was enough food for 2 good sized meals in each dish.
