    Wings were little burnt & toss the sauce. Both broths were flavorful & good amount of meat. Pricing wasn't bad.

    Combo egg noodle soup
    Heather T.

    I've been coming to this place for more than 10 years and nothing beats the combo egg noodle soup with extra chicharron to my liking. My bf gets the beef stew that is really good. My son loves the fried chicken, fried rice and taro boba milk tea. The service is quick. One of the places my family keeps in rotation when we want to go out and eat, If you want something simple for soup or fried chicken this is the place to go.

    For under $15 bucks, you can get a bowl of noodle bowl. I have been coming here often because of the friendlyu staff and craving a bowl of rice noodle souip without breaking the bank. Its not super delicipus of something I would want to come everyday about, but for the price, you get what you pay for. The ho fun or rice noodles are fresh and tender, the soup often not flavorful enough but with the addition of condiments and sauces on the side, you can make it to your own tasting. The staff is very friendly and I usually have copnversations with them in Chinese. ho funo I usually go for the typical for me which is the Satay Beef rice noddle, or beef stew rice noddle, Sometimes I will go for the Curry Chichken and have them wswitch the thin rice noodle with rice noodle njust because I love their ho fun. CBeef chow fun is also a good choice.

    2. Crispy Chicken Wings
    Muang P.

    I've been craving a good egg noodle soup. Not wanting to drive to Oakland or to the city, I was on a mission to find a place closer to home. #20 satisfied my cravings but next time, I'll have to try it with the rice stick noodles as I've had better egg noodles. What really stood out to me was the fried chicken. It was crispy, juicy, and well-seasoned. I could that all day!

    Radish cakes
    Eugene A.

    My mom and I ate here on a breezy and cloudy Sunday afternoon. It is open seating and you may opt for any vacant table for dine in. I ordered their #20, which is a Combo Wonton Noodle Soup. In addition to our individual soups, we also ordered a side of fried chicken wings and radish cakes. Our orders were brought to our table within 7-10 minutes. The soup was piping warm and I could sense and taste the umami from the soup. The egg noodles were not too mushy and were well paired with flavorful wontons, shrimp and meatballs. The fried chicken wings were truly crispy, tender and flavorful. The radish cakes were a bit mushy this time, but it was still flavorful in their egg batter. Red Bowl is the OG place for Chinese-Vietnamese style soup in Daly City. Eating soup here feels even better when it's foggy and frigid outside because of Karl the Fog.

    The hubs felt like noodles while we were at the Mission Plaza. The place was huge. We asked for the most popular items on the menu and they said the noodle soup (I forgot) and fried chicken wings. It was just ok. The wings were mildly over done, extra crispy. Not enough sauce. Noodles were so-so. Sorry, I wouldn't return.

    Soy sauce chicken
    Lesly M.

    Place has many seating. Quick service. Food came in hot and fresh. Chow mein is definitely a different version of the typical ones, noodle is different and very saucy. Soy sauce chicken and shrimp is comfort food and very filling! Tea was provided, and lots of sauces.

    A cute figurine of Pochacco that I got from the slot machine :)
    Renzelle M.

    The food is my go-to on Thursdays after school! The ambiance is nice but a little basic and that's okay! The service is nice, they are kind and I'm pretty much a regular here, also the mini figures in the slot machine is worth it! It only costs $5 to get two special coins for the slot machine. Pochacco is my favorite and they have it! They have one more Sanrio machine and they also have One Piece, Demon Slayer, Spy x Family and I think that's it! :) Yummy and filling food too!

    3. Pan Fried Pot Stickers

    We ordered Pot Stickers (7/10), Wings (6/10), Beef Chow Fun (7/10), and Egg Noodle Soup (6/10). The food was okay--nothing special--but the portions were huge. The restaurant feels a little dated, though the service was fast. The reason I'm giving a 2-star rating is because of the 12% service charge for just two people. When I asked about it, I was told the system automatically adds the charge to bills over $60--but that's not true. We usually tip around 15%, so it's not about the money--it's the lack of transparency that bothered me.

    Fried flour cake with egg
    Sharon L.

    This restaurant is super underrated! It's not anything amazing that will blow your mind, but it definitely brings back warm nostalgic feelings of an old fashion Chinese food court :)! Service is so quick, all of your order comes out within 5-10 mins! There are plenty of tables as the restaurant itself is very big. There's plenty of parking too!

    Same menu as the old TK Noodles/New Tung Kee Noodle from San Jose. I only ate here a few time after they changed the name to Red Bowl years ago. Nothing much has changed since, except they now have boba style drinks. The furniture is also the same. There are plenty of open seats during lunch. Since they are a Chiu Chow (潮州) style restaurant, I ordered my combo wonton thick egg noodles dry, with the soup on the side $15.50. The egg rolls, $8.50 and beef stew noodles $13.50 were OK. This was exactly how I remembered it. Their kitchen is fast and so is the service. I feel like I liked them better when it was called TK as I ate at TK a lot when I went to San Jose State.

    My family and I have been coming here for years. Especially when it was still called TK noodles. Food never disappoints. It's always a nostalgic feeling coming here. Service is 10/10, they always get the food out so fast and it's still hot and ready to eat. Here is a picture from our food today but definitely have been coming here for more than 20 years, since i was a little girl. So glad this place is still up and running and I hope it stays that way

    Potstickers
    John P.

    This place used to be TK Noodle but now is Red Bowl Noodles. The menu is pretty much the same though. Inside has lots of tables. Whenever I'm here, there's always tables available. Service is great! We get greeted right away. They provide tea and orders come within 10 mins. The potstickers are huge and actually very good! The sauce is too runny and barely coats the potstickers. The wonton combination soup is my favorite! I love the egg noodles. They give a lot of protein and about 4-5 wontons. Overall, a decent place to get soup. If you like quick service and no frills, this is it!

I like the extra crunchy element for added texture. You can taste every single ingredient in the sauce. It was also very easy to make, the instructions were clear and easy to follow.

But my sister had enough faith in him that she put her name down in the waitlist a couple years ago. A few days before Valentine's day in 2026, my sister got the email asking her to confirm her order quantities and to pick up on Valentine's day. Apparently, my sister completely forgot her order. lol! This guy have more integrity than kickstarter projects and to keep his promise and to fulfill the orders!!! It's my first time having sweet water noodles. I have never visited Cheng Du in China (it's on my bucket list) so I cannot tell how authentic this really is. As a noodle dish, I really love it. I would buy the sauce itself and toss with any other noodles. (Business opportunity there!) The instruction to cook the noodles is super clear and it's a very simple and easy dish to make. If you can boil water in a pot, you can make the noodles based on the instruction with this noodles kit. The rice crispy gave an excellent crunch. (Now I can see why Paik Jong Won added the uncooked instant noodles crumbs from the package to a bowl of instant noodles). The noodles texture is lovely, it has a chewy (or the Taiwanese/Chinese known as "QQ") bite to it. The portion is quite generous too - it's one of those satisfying portions :) I don't think I want to wait for 2 years for this again. But when he opens the store or start selling the sauce, I will be there for sure!!

It's your typical hole-in-the-wall spot, but that doesn't really bear any significance when it comes to rating the food. GARLIC PEA SPROUTS ~ The greens were not very tender and weren't easy to chew. Flavor was also a little bland. 3/5 SALT AND PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS LUNCH PLATE ~ The 5 wings were crispy and crunchy, but small in size. The chicken meat was dry, and the flavor was basically just salt and jalapeño peppers. On the plus side, you get all flats, which I prefer over drumettes. I think I should have gotten the wings as an appetizer (6 wings) rather than as a lunch plate (5 wings) with white rice. If you opt for chow mein or fried rice instead of plain rice, you'll have to pay an extra $3. The menu says soup is included, but we were not offered any. However, an egg roll is given with all lunch plates. PORK CHOPS WITH BLACK PEPPER SAUCE ~ My guy ordered this and thought it was good. The pork chops were nicely fried in a light batter and then covered with a savory black pepper sauce. There was a generous amount of meat. No soup was given or offered with this dish either. 4/5 Social media likes to advertise and sometimes overhype certain restaurants. Honestly, I thought this was an average spot, nothing extraordinary or spectacular. The food, service and prices were okay. Though I'm on the fence about whether I'd visit again, as nothing was particularly memorable or enticing.

No water, just pure concentrated flavor. The restaurant gets its name from simmering, one of the essential Chinese cooking techniques, and you can taste that philosophy across the whole menu. The Dry Pot lived up to the hype, but the real surprise was the skewers. Beef, lamb, and chicken, intensely flavorful and rich. I can't stop thinking about them. The potstickers were also way better than expected. Usually a throwaway order at most places, but here they were juicy and packed with flavor. The beef pancakes were fantastic. Golden and crispy on the outside, juicy flavor bomb on thes inside. Both crunchy and a little chewy (in the good way). Came back a few weeks later with friends and ordered the whole grilled fish, which I'd been eyeing since my first visit. It looked magnificent, but it didn't really pop the way the other dishes did. If you love fish it's worth trying, but the dry pot, skewers, beef pancakes, and dumplings are the stars here.

Things started okay as we ordered a few lamb skewers as an appetizer which were a little tough, but had a nice cumin and spicy flavor. However, the main course was the biggest disappointment. We ordered three noodle soups and beef chow mein, and they were all extremely bland. In particular, the two fish noodle soups tasted almost identical despite one supposedly having green peppercorn and the other having pickled vegetable. Both were very under-salted and had very little flavor. The chow mein was equally bland, and the noodles were also very mushy and overcooked. I have never found myself reaching for the soy sauce at restaurants, but I did this time, not that it helped much. Overall, the meal felt very unsatisfying. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong items (maybe we should have tried their signature dry pots?) but after this experience, I'm not keen to give this place a second chance.
