    Pork fried rice

    This place is absolutely awful. The wonton soup had absolutely no flavor. The pork in the pork fried rice looked and tasted like tiny little slimy link breakfast sausage. The manager did not care. I guess they get enough business that they no longer need mine. I wouldn't go back if they paid me. Good luck if you go there maybe you'll have a better experience

    Sushi Special Buy One Get One

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    Our lunch was okay at Red Bowl Asian Bistro. Service was very friendly. I think everything had a pretty good flavor, but it seemed like the quality of the chicken was not great, which makes the whole meal. For the price, we might try a different place next time.

I was trying to find places in the area that did dim sum and ended up seeing this place that did both dim sum AND kbbq, which I was intrigued by. You mostly order everything via tablet, and everything gets sent over pretty fast. (Shout-out to the kind and very efficient servers!) They had a great assortment of different cuts, meats, and seasonings for the kbbq and all the classic dim sum dishes. The one dish I would personally pass on is the xiao long bao (soup dumplings), only because I think the filling needed a little salt/seasoning. And the ones I would absolutely order again are the seafood pancake, curry chicken, and BBQ short rib... Actually, I would reorder just about everything we had plus some more that we missed out on! For the cherry on top, they had little ice cream cups to finish the meal. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will be returning!

They have ice cream you can grab before you leave which is a fun addition as well. Overall, great restaurant with great food we will be back!

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.

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!

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.

The first time the food was good and warranted another try before it was added into rotation. This time I got chicken pad see ew instead of shrimp. While eating I noticed that it was not as flavorful as the shrimp and the chicken was rather dry. I stopped eating it to doctor it up a bit. And while mixing my food I saw a little more than I requested for. Yup a cooked caterpillar wrapped around the broccoli. So, back to the restaurant I went with uneaten food from the whole order. When I arrived I asked for the manager. The girl at the counter asked why, I mentioned the hitchhiker and I don't know if it was disbelief or communication error but she wasn't understanding what I was saying. So I politely opened the container and pointed it out. She then proceeded to ask if I wanted it made over. I declined the offer and asked for a full refund because our meals were ruined and tainted. Then the manager came out and stated he would only refund the 'defective' meal and not the whole purchase. Which leads me to writing this negative review which I never thought I had to but I had to let others know to try at your own discretion. And please double check your food for any hitchhikers.
