Asian-fusion staples, create-your-own stir-fries & sushi served in a contemporary Asian room.
Overall experience was excellent.
Food came out on time and hot. Taste was on delicious and spices were perfect.
Atmosphere was chill and you can come in a quick bite and a drink at the bar.
Service was good. The waiter had a good knowledge of the dishes and gave us excellent options to choose from.
Definitely be stopping by or ordering again soon
Large portions, flavorful food, reasonably priced. I went there for the first time two weeks ago. I ordered the bang bang shrimp with a side of fried rice, sushi and drunken noodles. They have a sushi special buy one get one free, if you purchase a drink. I ordered a can juice and I highly recommend. The drunken noodles comes with an already made sauce, it’s more on the spicy side. Very delicious!
We came here for lunch when another sushi spot we like was closed! Red Bowl is always tasty. We always get our food super quick! Their seaweed salad was fresh. The sushi was delicious! None of the frills just BOGO!
12/28 update: 10 months later… still good! Tried different sushi and different appetizers. Delicious! Sat down immediately. Just a great staple on Capital Blvd.
Good sushi, reasonable price. Don’t let the name fool you, which it nearly did me. I travel for work and made a point of coming back here. It is across the street from some hotels which is an easy walk. They do a bogo sushi roll thing if you buy a drink. This means you can get 2 rolls and a beer for less than 20$. The service is great. The tables are nice and the place is spacious. Well worth a visit!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! This was absolutely horrible!!! We just picked up our order (6/5/24). We spent $100 for 4 meals. Each of our dishes cost about $20 plus we had 2 eggrolls & 2 shrimp spring rolls. The pictures are 2 shrimp & chicken stir fries. It was 90% onions & watery broth. The food was not seasoned at all, the shrimp was NOT de-veined & WAY overcooked. The combo lo-mein was super dry & barely had any meat. Even the eggrolls were bland. For $100, I could've went to P.F Changs, where I know the food is decent. Hell I could've went across the street to the mall or Japan XO, where the plates are good & only $10. I wanted to give another business a chance. Everything except one meal (bourbon chicken) went to the trash because of the food quality. But with inflation going on & my family only eating out once a week.....this was a complete waste of money & our one day of takeout.
Red Bowl is an old school restaurant! I have been eating their food for the past few years and they have always been very consistent with their flavors. I have tried most of their dishes and I have always been pleased with their food. At times service can be a bit slow but it's worth it. A great take out place too! Their dishes are fairly big and there is enough food for two people or a hungry person!!! I'll highly recommend it 🔥🔥🔥
Terrible SLOW service! We waited 90 minutes for our food to finally arrive in a restaurant that was about 20% occupied and were charged an automatic 18% tip for our family of 5 (1 child 11 and 1 child 6). Our waiter would only emerge from the kitchen about every 10 minutes so we finally asked the greeter to tell our waiter we wanted to order after we’d been waiting 50 minutes. Also, teacup had a dirty mark on rim. When we asked for a new cup, waiter claimed it was “natural” before bringing a new cup at our insistence that didn’t have the ‘natural’ marking. Food tasted fine, but not worth the wait.
Delicious, waitress was super and not a lot of wait time. Thank you!
don’t ever go to this place !!! service was horrible our waitress was very rude . We asked for plastic spoon our server kept walking then turned around and had a nasty attitude and response .. the waitress didn’t check up on us at all . The manger was the only one with sympathy and help us out and comped our meal . i will never give them my money again !!!
First time here and it was wonderful.
Food is good, however, restroom is very dirty and smelly. Not clean at all. Went their twice, same experience.
Food is good. Get the 2 for 1 sushi with purchase of a beverage. The stir fry is also pretty good, and we like their pork dumplings a lot. Service can be hit or miss.
The shrimp was genuinely too hard to eat and we had to pick it out of the sushi rolls which is a bummer since my partner really only wanted the Nemo Roll. Wont order here again
I've been eating here for 15+ years! The food is ALWAYS delicious! Especially the Mongolian beef. And, their Sangria is really good, too Buttttt, unfortunately, the service has never been good. The servers always seem so miserable and are very unwelcoming. It definitely makes it uncomfortable. I just keep going back because the food is so good.
Went here with my boyfriend today, the food was amazing, the waitress was nice, and it's a gorgeous location. Would definitely come here again in the future!

I order via uber eats, and I’ve been ordering from this place for awhile now. I only ordered the sushi, and I love it that much. I’ll continue. Thank you 🫶🏼
Servers were outstanding.
Food was very good.
Variety of meal choices was excellent.
Food was good. Had the bourbon chicken. Very tasty. Lots of chicken. The monogolian delight, only had 5 small shrimp in it. Otherwise. If not for that .. would've been 5 stats
Service was too slow. New server. Had to ask for certain things, refills, etc. Food ok. Nothing extra special.
Red Bowl is our go to for Asian food. We carry out and dine in and have always had a great experience
Hair in my food. Staff didn’t handle well when I told them.
Been coming here for years. Great food and portion size but they seem to be short on staffing the last few times.
Red Bowl advertizes BOGO but adds $10 to the price first,so something $18.25 on menu bogo pay $29.95!Example of false advertising
New to this area and wanted fresh, tasty Asian food, so decided to give this place a try. The service was wonderful and the food was much better than expected after reading some other reviews. We will be coming back.
Food was pretty tasteless. Sushi was good though. I don’t think I’d eat there again.
It’s good
A bit higher priced but large servings.
Tasty place, got some ginger beef and it was as you would expect and want. Table was a little sticky but that’s only complaint. Would go again!
Delicious!!!
Little slow food good
המזון במסעדה האסיאתית הזו מאוד מאכזב.
היינו שלושה אנשים והזמנו מגוון מנות, שכולן היו מאוד מאכזבות.
אנחנו מאוד אוהבים אוכל אסיאתי וביקרנו במסעדות אסיאתיות רבות בכל העולם. זו אחת הגרועות שבהן.
לא נחזור לכאן ואיננו ממליצים על המקום.
We like the food at the one in Cary but the service is terrible. So we drove up to give this one a shot. First off they are severely understaffed. The servers were working as hard as they could from what we could see, way better than the Cary place where they stand around or stand in the back. However we had to wait 40+ minutes for our food. When it came out it was not the same food as at the Cary location. It was downright terrible. My bourbon chicken the chicken was cut small and overcooked. My wifes kung pao chicken tasted like it was straight out of a microwave and was lukewarm. Skip this palce at all costs.
Good place food prices good food
I ordered through DD because of their nice review.I ordered salmon roll and some specialty one for 17 something.These were the tiniest pieces of fish i saw in my life.I hate to write bad review but seriously this was 38$ for me for rice.and bland soy sauce(luckily i had my own)
Overall experience was excellent.
Food came out on time and hot. Taste was on delicious and spices were perfect.
Atmosphere was chill and you can come in a quick bite and a drink at the bar.
Service was good. The waiter had a good knowledge of the dishes and gave us excellent options to choose from.
Definitely be stopping by or ordering again soon
Love this place. I highly recommend it. The food is good and the staff are always nice.
Es muy malo el recepcionista trata muy mal la comida sabe normal no tienen nada de bueno la verdad nunca vuelvo a venir
Really bad service.
Enjoy everything about this place. Husband and I went on our anniversary and we enjoyed a nice quiet dinner service was great food was great never had a disappointing visit here.
Two issues. The service was super slow. It took an hour to get our food. Unfortunately our waiter could not answer basic questions about the menu because his English wasn't great.
I love the Singapore Rice Noodles!@@
I have been coming here for years. Their lunch specials are a great deal, as they include an egg roll or spring roll (my favorite). Food is always freshly prepared and service is quick and efficient. I have yet to try something I didn't like, and I've tried a lot on the menu! Delicious and the prices are very reasonable.
Bad food!! I think expired, don’t eat here
I'll go back.
Lunch specials are a great deal, highly recommend the General Tso - check em out!
We had a generally good experience. The food in general is ok. Not as much spice as we'd like, but it's an American chain so that's expected. The big issue we had was with the automated tipping. The 6+automated tipping is listed as 18%. Some of us were charged the 18%, but some of us were charged 24%. If you're not checking their math, that can add up to quite a bit.
Very good good
Unwelcoming atmosphere and terrible customer service. There is one other table occupied and it took 15 mins to get my drink order taken. If you are in a hurry, don’t come here! Only plus to this place is the bogo for the sushi if you order a drink but the sushi is mediocre at best.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! This was absolutely horrible!!! We just picked up our order (6/5/24). We spent $100 for 4 meals.

Muy rica la comida
The sushi was okay . Not very flavorful. But the prices are very good .I sat at the bar and received my beer and that's it from the bar tender . My server was very nice , I wish I could remember her name so I can recommend her . But even when i walked in the hosts seemed confused as I had to ask them for a table after a moment of hesitation from both girls... Maybe they thought I was a hobo... I was coming from a long road trip and i looked positively ridiculous in all my tie dye. Oh well maybe it was close to closing or an off day . I will try again , looking like a well to do citizen ,maybe I will get better treatment from the staff. Anyways thank you to the server who was kind to me :).
***Edit : 1 year later ***
I came back with a large group of people from a church and I have a much better experiance. The food was great and came out quickly . My server was awesome and really funny . Much better experi ance that time around
So stingy. Never waste your money here. No flavor. Fried rice was just white rice soaked with soy sauce. Cashew shrimp is barely steamed vegetables with 6 TINY shrimp. Eel roll has the THINNEST slices of eel I ever saw. One piece had no eel. Horrible horrible don’t come here, so cheap and stingy
Amazing food.
This was out first time at Red Bowl, and I have to say we found our new favorite Asian restaurant! The atmosphere was inviting and well decorated. The service was out of this world. The food, incredible! We had spring rolls, and the Royal Dish. Both we exploding with flavor and cooked to perfection. If you haven't tried this place yet, what are you waiting for?
Great Asian food with Sushi options. Food arrived very hot and tasted great. We'll be back!
Dinner was great 😃
Great Chinese food. A little more elevated than a take out place. Good sushi options.
Large portions, flavorful food, reasonably priced. I went there for the first time two weeks ago. I ordered the bang bang shrimp with a side of fried rice, sushi and drunken noodles. They have a sushi special buy one get one free, if you purchase a drink. I ordered a can juice and I highly recommend. The drunken noodles comes with an already made sauce, it’s more on the spicy side. Very delicious!
The food is usually very good the times I have eaten here in the past. However, I have come less and less because the service gets worse and worse due to having less and less staff working. How can management expect 1 person to wait on ALL tables AND the bar at the same time?????
Food needs a little more spices the rice needs improvement, bathroom are mid clean overall it was good food, good service, nice atmosphere.
I haven't been here in a while and I won't be back. The fried rice had a smokey burnt flavor. The sesame chicken was actually pretty good. The worst thing was the sushi rolls. One of them wasn't even the right roll, the other one had tempura that was tough and chewy and not warm, like it had been kept in a steam table or frozen and thawed. It was gross and not edible
Amazing restaurant. Red Bowl has never failed me before and I've been a frequent customer. Every sushi roll here tastes amazing and none of them are bad. The service is always amazing also and the atmosphere is just amazing and I always feel welcome there. Amazing restaurant with even better food.
Ordered from here on doordash and was really happy with my meal. The sesame chicken was delicious, not too chewy and had a great sauce on it. Will be coming back again!
Nice-looking on the inside with a really pretty fountain near the entrance. My food was definitely fresh, the veggies had that little bit of crunch that lets you know they weren't stir-fried to death. Our server was attentive and anticipated our needs.
Chill vib!! Awesome service!!
Great Food!!
I waited 35 min for my food, and all I ordered were 2 egg rolls. The place was practically empty. I usually order more bit i was on a 15min break. This is the 2nd time this has happened. I wont go back anymore
The parking is good, easy to get to, good food options. Live the ambience in the restaurant.
Tim was really helpful and nice! I called in to order for catering, Tim was able to help me with a reasonable price. All my friends at the party loved the food.
FYI if you’re looking for catering, just ask for the catering menu/deal. Thank you!! Recommended.
Kinda obsessed with the sushi...
Take out is impeccable 🤌🏾
Havent dined-in but this is a recommend.
It is always a good time when I visit Red Bowl. My favorite sushi is the Double Trouble, which has salmon, white tuna, crab, shrimp, black pepper, and jalapeno, and it's fried. I love it! Very flavorful. We also ordered the bourbon chicken, which was good as well. Red Bowl is always a place where I will continue to go back.
I'm not sure why it is so difficult to get this restaurant to answer the phone! I made reservations for a large and called the day before to confirm. My first call I was put on hold and finally hung up after more than 2 minutes without anyone returning. My second call was picked up but no one answered. My third call got a busy dial tone. This does not bode well for a place where I'm holding a farewell gathering. I will keep you posted.
Great food, and loved the atmosphere!
My husband and I have been dining here for almost a decade. It used to be one of our favorite places. We love the bogo sushi. We even had our wedding rehearsal dinner here about 8 years ago...but I feel it's gone downhill since the pandemic. The portions are huge for entrees, but lacking in flavor. I tried my daughter's chicken fried rice tonight and it was just bland. I tried my other daughter's spicy mango chicken and while it had more flavor, it was a bit watery. We ordered a ton of sushi for our large family and I could tell they rushed to make it so a lot of the rolls fell apart. I would have rather waited longer for sushi that was made well. My toddler's chicken nuggets was one of the best things I tasted tonight, and that's sad. I did like the appetizers we ordered. They were quite good...the Thai herb calamari and the jalapeno crab bites.
Also, after being a fairly loyal patron for a decade, I don't appreciate that gratuity has been automatically added to our check the last two times we dined here. They didn't used to do that. I firmly believe in tipping well for good service, but not having the choice of tipping and how much doesn't sit well with me.
I will say, our service tonight was good, despite it being a busy dinner shift. Our waitress was very sweet and very attentive. I appreciated her very much. But the forced gratuity has me thinking we will start looking for a new spot. $216 bill (with $40 in forced gratuity) for half rolled sushi and bland rice just ain't it for me...
Oi.
Bang bang shrimp was okay.
Pad Thai - not good
Drunken Noodle - better than the pad Thai, but not good.
Waste of money. Waste of time
😋
Have been a customer for years. Sadly quality is in the trash and even safety. My whole family got sick from eating food there. Would highly advise to avoid. I believe the culprit was the rice.
La comida no estuvo mal, el servicio deplorable, la mesera nunca recogió los platos de la entrada, ni del plato fuerte, cuando nos trajo el postre la mesa estaba llena de platos y nunca los recogió, el postre que era una cheesecake estaba congelada totalmente y le dije que estaba congela y me dijo que si la quería para llevar y así se descongelaba 😱no los recomiendo
Delicious food
Had my birthday lunch here today, it was 11 of us. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful!!! One of my favorite places!
The staff was rude and impatient with us! Therefore, the service was extremely slow. Many people left because of the service. We even had to ask the staff to clean the tables.
Hands down this was the best! The shrimp egg rolls was the great, and the Singapore the best I have ever eaten if u like Singapore please try it here it didn't disappoint!!
Quiet and very enjoyable, It's a well kept secret.
We do love to go there for the sushi rolls. Quite a variety. I love the Farmers roll and the Kodo roll and my appetizer is spicy crab salad. 🦀 Hubby and I were there with another couple and everyone happy with their dishes. We have been going there off and on for years.
The wait is simply ridiculous. The food was just okay.
Food was amazing and service top notch. Very pleased.
Always great food! Server was amazing and very tentative!
This is a place my family goes to often. Food and service always A1. Spacious and not too loud.
Ordered online and the staff did. It disappoint. Nothing f was lacking and everything was created properly.
Perfect.
DINER BEWARE - I ordered Sweet & Sour Chicken for dinner and only got 2 pineapple chunks and 2 tiny chunks of red bell pepper with chicken. I requested more of the pineapple and red bell pepper. I was told that the manager in Raleigh determines how many pineapple and bell pepper you get with the meal AND to request more would cost me $4 --- $2 for bell pepper and $2 for pineapple. I consider that price gouging, but the waitress said the Raleigh manager sets the price. So basically when you order Sweet & Sour chicken you get fried chicken with the sauce and a garnishment of bell pepper and pineapple. So ridiculous!!!!
I use to love this place but the last couple of times eating here the food has been awful. Nothing fresh, chicken is hard and tasteless. The noodles weren’t seasoned all the way through, get to the middle and there’s nothing seasoned, just bland food!!!! What happened😩 did owners change or cooks or everything😮 I will not be eating here anymore, ordering nothing or ever suggesting anyone to eat here!!!!
So sad because this was my go to when I wanted to eat out…
Great Food
Had the spicy Mango shrimp with fried rice and it was delicious along with the saki
This restaurant is great the food is awesome and very tasty. Parking is great also. 👍
Was passing by on the way home from a trip and was really hungry so ordered some shrimp lo mein to pick up on the way. So disappointing. Not much flavor, at all, and overpriced, imo.
There was 8 of us. Food was good even though it seemed like it took a while to get it. Nice place.
This is the second time I came to the Red Bowl, and I remember feeling dissatisfied after the first one. The sushi has interesting combos with mango, and of course, it's pretty. My sons got Hibachi and another plate that they described as "bland." The primary reason I wasn't happy is because the waiter did not explain pricing well, even when we asked. They had a New Years BOGO special for sushi, but I assumed it would be calculated per plate, not per table. The two cheapest rolls were discounted. Had we known, we would have strategized to order different rolls to get the best deal. Two days later, we went to a sushi place in Wake Forest that clearly articulated their policy on the menu. Customers need to know what to expect, and when they inquire, the server should articulate it. Although the Red Bowl is over priced, my actual complaint is about the misleading, deceptive way they offered a "special," and didn't communicate it. With so many sushi restaurants available in the Triangle, I intend to skip this one as a less-than-ideal experience that isn't worth the cost.
I went in today after the gym and ordered to go Bourbon Chicken. There was a nice young lady who was super polite and the place looked really nice. When I got home (5 min drive) i got about 3 bites into my meal before I felt the need to immediately drop my fork and go write this review... I rarely write food reviews unless im inspired on a deep level. This is by far the worst meal I have had in many years. It was like they took old refrigerated chicken , threw it into a wok with an onion and a pepper which was barely cut up.. massive chunks... for around 5 seconds , poured into a to -go bowl and then someone poured a cup of water on it. I am not exaggerating when I say this. This was the nastiest food I have had in a LONG time. The massive onions were RAW as can be. The peppers as well. The chicken was CLEARLY old and tasted like stale fridge. I do not know what happened. This cannot be what they typical serve because this place would get 1 star reviews on average. I will 100% never go there again. I wish I doordashed this because At least I could complain and get my money back but instead i just dumped 16 dollars into my trash can. I am not trying to be mean but I felt compelled to share my experience. You are better off eating LITERALLY anywhere else. Mcdonalds tastes better. The worst reviewed chinese food take out place in the city tastes better. This taste like something I wouldnt feed my dog. Why is it SO WATERY?
Horrible place! Rude manager
I was not really impressed with the food. I would not go out of my way to eat here.
I went here yesterday for the first time in a while. I ordered the stir fry bar (chicken, shrimp, & veggies). The dish had NO flavor and the protein tasted old. The fried rice was cold and tasted old as well. However, my waitress was nice. I sent my order back and ordered sushi & egg drop soup. The soup was flavorless and the sushi was just ok. I will not be returning back.
Short staffed so service was very slow.
food was bad,i wouldn’t recommend to anyone at all dont ever ever go there in your life that mess made me mad
Food was nicely presented & prepared well. Nice serving amounts
I love going to this Restaurant, the environment is great, the food quality and taste is there everytime, I have not been disappointed yet with the food service or quality, there's a reason it stays pack!
My husband loved the Bento box with his choices. I ordered chicken satay. The chicken was dry. I also ordered lettuce wraps. The sauce was the same for both which surprised me
Best Asian style food in North Carolina
My Server was Amazing! He was polite, accurate but quick and precise. He was friendly and helpful with our sushi order! Thanks to him and good food, we will be back! So thank you,
Food was average. Service was good but not overly friendly and very slow because they were obviously understaffed. I would eat there again if someone in my party wanted to go but it wouldn't be someplace I would choose
Very good food
Food was good, didn't like sitting at a step up table in a bar atmosphere
Portion size for the beef broccoli is ridiculous. ,1 piece of beef with bowl of broccoli. Called to complain to manager.
Good is Extremely good evertime I go there, very satisfying!!!
Picked up order. Food was well packed and very good. However, they only provided one fortune cookie for 3 entrees.
The food is absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend this place for any occasion but also make sure you bring your appetite because the servings can feed up to two people.
Red Bowl is an old school restaurant! I have been eating their food for the past few years and they have always been very consistent with their flavors. I have tried most of their dishes and I have always been pleased with their food. At times service can be a bit slow but it's worth it. A great take out place too! Their dishes are fairly big and there is enough food for two people or a hungry person!!! I'll highly recommend it 🔥🔥🔥
First time, the food was great. Second time, the food was not so great. There won’t be a third time…
