    Red Bowl menu
    Katy C.

    Red Bowl is located in the former Marie Catrib's location at Lake Drive and Diamond. They have a pretty typical Chinese American menu and I'm always on the hunt for a good Chinese spot for when I have a craving. I ordered the chicken with mixed vegetables with fried rice, egg drop soup, and crab rangoon. Ordering online was super easy and our food was ready quickly. Everything was pretty good, although I felt like the chicken dish was missing some flavor. I realized that they say they don't use MSG so I think that's what it was. MSG adds tastiness to dishes and is found in plenty of foods. The veggies were crisp-tender and the chicken wasn't dry, which was great. The crab rangoon were your basic variety, nothing too mind-blowing. The wrappers were a little thicker than I usually prefer but they had a nice ratio of filling. The fried rice and egg drop soup were both pretty good but again, nothing mind-blowing. But also not terrible! Overall I would probably order it again since it's fairly close to my house, but I still have other favorites that I like more in the city.

    C6. Bourbon Chicken Dinner Combo Special With Shrimp Fried Rice
    Jessica G.

    I wish I could give this a higher rating but I just did not like it. I debated between 2 and 3 stars and I gave 3 just to be fair. I didn't like my food (bourbon chicken with shrimp fried rice along with 2 crab cheese) . My husband got sesame chicken with shrimp fried rice and a spring roll. The rice was okay - the shrimp added was what I'd call "baby shrimp" so it wasn't exactly what i was expecting. I wish I would have gotten something with veggies because I only had chicken and it was a little dry. I personally prefer the food court bourbon chicken to what I got. The crab cheese was okay - tasted more like cream cheese than any crab. I don't plan to order again soon but if I do, I'll get something with veggies to see if that helps. My husband ordered sesame chicken and he said it was decent and he really liked the rice. The portions were huge so it really is a shame I wasn't a fan.

    14. Hot and Sour Soup

    moving to a new city means finding your go to Chinese food. this is our first try since moving to grand rapids. i always say you can tell a good chinese place based on their soups so let's start there. I always order the hot and sour soup and the egg drop soup. the hot and sour soup looked good but it was really lacking flavor. i added some soy sauce and that definitely helped. the egg drop soup on the other hand had some strange smokey or kind of burnt flavor. the soup crunchies were disappointing. i've found there are two types of soup crunchies and these ones were not the good kind! luckily the chicken and broccoli was pretty good but needed a little adjustment too. i feel like this dish as well as the soups really lacked that umami flavor. my boyfriend got the sweet and sour chicken and crab rangoons. unfortunately we never received the crab rangoons but i heard from others that they are way too sweet so we didn't miss out on much. he enjoyed his sweet and sour chicken and said the chicken had the perfect crunch. my boyfriend and i always rate things by "would you get it again?" the answer here is probably not. the search for our go to place continues.

    Tucked among an intersection of amazing restaurants, we finally got to check out Char!…read more While looking at some of the Artprize pieces, since Char was a venue this year, my fiancé ordered the steak fried rice and I ordered a fried noodle bowl with rice noodles and chicken. There are plenty of toppings to choose from and everything tastes super fresh. It's like Qdoba/Chipotle style where you pick what sauces and toppings you want then they whip it all together for you. First bite was a flavor explosion and continued throughout both the dishes. Yum yum sauce was on point. Service was quick and friendly. It is a bit pricey but the fiancé treated dinner on this night ;) A friend suggested their nachos which we will have to try next time. The space is shared with Gita Pita so there is a dining area that is in between both restaurants. If you felt like trying two places at once you knock that out by grabbing something from Gita Pita while you wait for your food from Char. Definitely will be back again and I'm glad to finally cross Char off my list!

The appetizers like the egg rolls and crab Rangoon seemed a tad expensive for what we got but did taste good.

We stopped for lunch slightly after the lunch rush and still found a crowded restaurant. We were seated quickly and despite being pretty busy, our server was great and the kitchen was as well because our wait for food once ordered was minimal. We ordered Gyoza, Bao, Spicy tuna rolls and Big Shrimp Tempura rolls. 1. Gyoza-fantastic. Pan fried just enough to bring out the flavor of the ingredients and wrapper. Most places overcook gyoza and while still decent, are not nearly as good as these were. 2. Bao. Once I tried these out of town I was hooked. Have-not seen them one any menu until I came here. We ordered pork and it was perfect. 3. Spicy Tuna Rolls-slight disappointment. The tuna is ground up and mixed with the spices to make it spicy. I would not order this again. After talking to your server, she said I could oder traditional tuna rolls and have the spices applied externally rather than mixed up in a ground up fashion. Perhaps I will order this way next time but there is so many other dishes that need to be tried. 4. Big Shrimp Tempura. Wonderful. Great flavors I looked at other tables and Bento Boxes, ramen dishes and hibachi items looked really, really good and need to be explored as well. I'm predicting we will become regulars here. What a great place!!

Luckily, I was able to learn how to order thanks to the nice gentleman in front of me ordering whilst holding a conversation with me. Basically, the set up is a lot like Q-doba. You stand in line, choose your bowl size, choose your proteins and then toppings and sauce. I chose the regular bowl because it had 2 proteins and I just couldn't decide between spicy salmon and spicy tuna. My bowl was delicious! I was impressed with the amount of rice options, the quality of the poke, and the copious amounts of toppings and sauces to choose from. This place was fine for a lunch date where I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in 20+ years. Everything was delicious, though the milk tea with boba was a little too sweet for my taste. Overall, excellent lunch option, albeit a tad expensive for "fast food." My milk tea and regular poke bowl came up to over $22. Certainly worth it, but not a daily go to option on my budget. Def check out poke toki if you're in the area. The food is better than the pun this restaurant is named after. Now turn yourself about, and do the Poke Toki!

She immediately made us feel at home, was amazing with her menu descriptions and advice, and was present without being overly so. The restaurant is gorgeous, it's inside the Amway Grand Hotel. Carmen gave us plenty of great recommendations so we started off with brussel sprouts, calamari, and burrata. Hands down the brussel sprouts where everybody's favorite! We all had a different entree for dinner, and it was the first day of the new menu. I had the strip steak, it was supposed to be medium rare, it was definitely medium but so forgivable because of the excellent flavors. Others at the table tried the halibut, the salmon, the short rib, and the walleye fish and chips. Each meal was fully loved by it's recipient. We had a fantastic bottle of Caymus with our meal, plus one of my guests have a beautiful cocktail with a watermelon. I forgot what it's called. We didn't really want dessert, but creme brulee is my favorite and I wanted to taste the new passion fruit flavor. It wasn't my favorite, but that could also be because I'm a vanilla creme brulee devotee. The presentation was beautiful.

Unfortunately the snitzel was just a plain breaded cutlet. My mistake. I had had a cutlet recently that had a great German style gravy and somehow thought this would too. Nope. The German style potatoes were raw potatoes soaked in a brine of some sort. We really thought they were apples. Crunchy. The Walleye was ok. Not memorable. We should have gone with something more standard but we were there for a conference and they had most of the menu on their buffet. We wanted something different. If we go back we will just get the standard fare. Short rib or chicken. I didn't take pictures.
