    Sushi Special Buy One Get One
    Elizabeth N.

    It's a bit or miss kind of spot. Some days it's amazing and others not so much. My husband dubbed the pad Thai "meh" and today my sushi was also mid. The hostess is always kind but the server needs more support. I'd highly recommend Sushi 9 in Raleigh for a great experience.

    Best Chinese, Good Thai, and passable sushi in the Cary/Apex area. It's a great date spot but can handle groups. If you are hankering for New York style Chinese, this is your spot. The service is amazing. 10/10 reccomend.

    Lettuce Wrap with shrimp.
    Lynn R.

    I wanted asian food tonight and decided to try the Red Bowl Asian Bistro. The ambiance is nice and the waitress was friendly. We started with a crab Rangoon app and the dish was nice and crispy and the filling was filled with cream cheese but I would have liked a bit more cream cheese filling with each bite. I ordered the shrimp lettuce wraps and they were filled to the brim with shrimp and veggies. The sauce that came with the dish was creamy and delish. I enjoyed my dinner and will definitely return to try another dish.

    Our first time at this location, but it will not be the last. They were one of the few Asian places that was open at 4:00. They do have a lunch menu that looked good but we were too late, even though it was our lunch. We were seated quickly but had to wait an unusually long time for our waitress, as there was only one other table at the time. We ordered our drinks and they were brought quickly. Hot tea for me was in a nice pot that kept it hot. The menu is large and includes many different sushi options, appetizers, soups, and the usual offerings. The atmosphere is calming and relaxing, nicely decorated. Even the bathroom was nice and clean. I had a rice noodle dish with shrimp and chicken. It needed a little more flavor, so after a long wait I got some soy sauce. There's none on the tables. The other dish was shrimp and broccoli in a nice brown sauce with a choice of white or fried rice. I had a bite and liked it a lot. My review for here is 3.5 as the waitress was not busy but very hard to get her attention and did not check on us on her own or offer refills, etc. The food was a solid 4.0 so we will return, but it will be during lunch hours and hopefully get better service.

    BOGO sushi, prompt service and chill atmospheres edamame made to perfection. Worth a visit!

    Currently sitting here with symptoms food poisoning after ordering the ginger beef stir fry 40 mins after consuming. Feeling so terrible I had to come leave those review . Do not order from Here. I will never come here again.

    Flaming Phoenix Roll; Volcano Roll; Wolfpack Roll

    If you haven't noticed or been paying much attention, I love Asian cuisine and could easily eat some form of it, 5+ days a week. More specifically, I love sushi. So what to do when you're working late one night, have a $20 off code through a 3rd party service and you're starving for some delicious, clean eats? You bet your ass I ordered sushi and ordered from Red Bowl Asian Bistro for the Mrs. and myself. WoW! Yes, I spelled that correctly because the portions, quality and flavors will take your tongue on a roller coaster thrill ride. The rolls we ordered were the Flaming Phoenix Roll; Volcano Roll; Wolfpack Roll. Each one was wonderful and I cannot pick a favorite. I'll be ordering from here again or going to visit to dine in now. I've read some reviews that were less than praiseworthy but I also noticed none of those reviews included sushi items. Maybe that's what the sweet spot is here because it was very...very good. Thank you for an amazing meal. I'll be ordering so much more from your spot in the future. 5 stars!!!

    Yummy bento box w/cashew shrimp.
    Chris K.

    Another excellent meal nearly a month to the day of our first visit. This time I got the cashew shrimp bento box with fried rice, salad and ginger dressing, and a California roll. The cashew shrimp was sooo good I couldn't stop praising it. I asked for a bit more sauce and glad I did. It was delicious. The ginger dressing had a bit of a bite, at least for me, so I'd choose a different option next time. The sushi roll was big and very good. The portion size of each item was bigger than I thought it would be so I ended up bringing home a good amount of cashew shrimp and a ton of rice, but I managed to finish the sushi and salad just fine! My spouse and I enjoyed our meals so much we may come here for Christmas instead of where we were going to go!

    It's okay. The sushi is much better than the chicken. I mainly order from here because it's the closest to me walking distance.

    The shirt on the server who guided me to my table through the well-lit, open space read "Ask me…read moreabout 2.99". So I did. This is the price of their house marg. So, of course, I ordered one. A minute or two later, it was in front of me - a goblet filled to the salty brim with a well balanced blend of tequila, lime juice, triple sec and ice. Everyone else at the table followed suit, but the service wasn't so instant. More on this later. We were a group of 9, with reservations. The table was nicely located and not off in a corner. There were 2- and 4-tops all around us. Another long table, this one bar height, butted the end of our regular height table. The servers soon separated them for easier access. Goji y Agave is the product of a partnership between a Mexican chef and an Asian one. There are two menus for food, but you can mix and match between them. Several of us ordered a little from each. Few of us could finish our entrees, the portions were so plentiful! An early snag was placing an order for nine drinks at once - the bar was overloaded, and the servers couldn't get them out together. This created a bottleneck where we could see them on the bar, but could not get to them. Folks were thirsty! This repeated when bringing out food. Once the food arrived, it was amazing, but it was a long wait getting all the orders for a large party together and out at once. Fortunately, it was early on a non-weekend night. Sadly, things were still delayed. But I still recommend going, just maybe don't take the whole gang at once!

The space is very bright and has the unique feel indicated by the name, a little bit of Latin and Asian fusion. For dinner, I chose the red thai curry. It did not take long at all for them to get my food out, which I am very thankful for because I was very hungry. The red thai curry is delightfully flavorful and spicy. There was a decent amount of red thai curry and rice leftover for me to take them home for lunch the next day. The staff got me in, fed, and out the door in about 45 min.

    Two nights ago my Aunt, myself and my puppy had the pleasure of spending our dinner at MCAsian…read morecuisine in downtown Cary! We were met upon entering by Zoe who happened to be our waitress! She asked where we would feel most comfortable sitting! The restaurant is situated in an adorable little house! There were a few small rooms indoors and two diff outdoor areas! We chose to try indoors to begin with! I had already called in advance cause I have a pretty severe allergy I needed to make sure they could change things and accommodate for! They were more than happy to be able to do so as everything is made per order! My aunt knows I love a good sangria and wherever we go she always inquires immediately if they have it! They didn't BUT Zoe came right back over, asked how I like my sangria and with what type of wine and said they could make me one! Shortly thereafter we had met Han, the manager, what a delightful and respectable manager who knows how to handle any and all situations! We had now decided we would like to sit outside even tho it was very hot out! She said let me get your things and she then said how about this little private room indoors as she wanted us most comfortable! Even tho my puppy is a service animal the only other couple in that room made a stink immediately and I said let's just go sit outside under the fans and on the deck! Han brought everything out asked about drinks as I had decided to cancel mine but on second thought decided I'd have one! She asked if I like it on the sweeter side etc! Not only was it delicious but the waitress upon bringing it over let me know immediately it was on the house! The food wasn't rushed but came in a very nice and timely manner and with beautiful presentations and the taste of everthing from our appetizers to our mains was of the highest quality! Zoe, Han and even the person who poured our water were the nicest as was the other couple sitting on the patio with us! Overall I'd give MCAsian Cuisine a five star rating and can't wait to return on my next trip to see my Aunt and I know she can't wait to return even before then! Thank you Han, Zoe and everyone at MCAsian! You have set the bar high!

The staff was super accommodating,…read morehelpful, and friendly despite us being underdressed after a day of exploring Raleigh (oops). Pretty cool incorporating high end Chinese food, and the atmosphere was fancy but cozy. Don't forget to look around, they have lots of cool decorations! As for food, I was a bit underwhelmed. We started with the salt and pepper calamari which had a great balance of mala spice. It was delicious and set high expectations for the rest of the meal. We mainly came for the Peking duck which was honestly just ok, especially considering the price. I thought it'd come with more meat, most of the duck was skin which also seemed to be sweeter? than usual. We also got the century egg Napa cabbage which seemed very overpriced and under flavored. Our waitress mentioned it was a new item, so it may be refined in the future. Giving 4 stars for the experience. Missed our waitress' name, but she was great and made the experience even better. I think this place is worth trying again, but probably for another special occasion to justify the price range!

The menu seemed pricey but the ambiance and food quality more than deserves. It is nice tranquil environment. The service is quick and respectful and they are not shy in guiding. I had eggplant dish, which I have had at multiple chinese restaurants before, but haven't seen this style of creation. It looked and tasted awesome. I wish they had more vegeterian items on the menu especially for the dinner and that has held us back from visiting. They had nice chinese jazz music playing. I enjoyed the experience and will definitely visit again. I asked the server for vegeterian options during dinner, he said they are willing to accomodate e.g. fish with tofu. So we will be here again another time with family.

In my eyes, Morrisville's strongest qualities are their Chinese and Indian options. Low and behold, Inchin's Bamboo Garden, a Indo-Chinese restaurant. I think the concept is cool, but they have some room to improve for sure. The quality of the food is pretty average, with no real outstanding flavors coming through. I wouldn't pick this place over a traditional Indian restaurant, nor would I choose this place over a traditional Chinese spot. I think one of my favorite items here is the chicken 65 fried rice. It is a good coming together of the Indian appetizer with a traditional fried rice. On the other hand, the mixed Cantonese noodles were a bit confusing. The noodles themselves where Chinese, but the flavor was spicy, a little sour, just, kind of a weird combination. I feel like this was an instance where fusion of cuisines created chaos in my palate, I didn't really know what I was eating! The cauliflower manchurian is also interesting, the sauce itself is decent but the flavors are again, kind of all over the place. I couldn't really tell what exactly I was eating and what flavors were in my mouth. I certainly love the creativity with this restaurant and think the concept is unique and fitting with the area. However, I definitely prefer sticking to the single cuisine and doing just the one thing great.
