Red Bowl Asian Bistro - Chapel Hill

To eat one of our favorite places. Great service. Good food. Large parts. We usually share.

Recently had our first dinner here where we were greeted and seated immediately. Good service, waitstaff friendly, large menu selections freshly prepared with some interesting but tasty specialities. We both chose an item from this section and mine was very tasty but my husband felt his curry was more like other curries he had had. Nice simple Oriental atmosphere, not a long wait for food and reasonable dinner prices. Great for families and noise level was okay. Food portions large and had some to take home.

When we ordered, the waiter was friendly and reminded us about the tricky promotion involving the free sushi. He also brought us the drinks without us asking, which was a nice touch. However, he didn't check in on us afterward to see if everything was okay, which I found a little lacking in service. Overall, while the sushi promotion sounds appealing, the prices are still quite high. The portions were small, leaving us still hungry and needing to go get more food elsewhere.

The quality of the food is quite poor. I’ve been to several locations multiple times and always leave feeling disappointed. It’s essentially overpriced fast food.

The food here is consistently excellent, and the service is top-notch as well. It's a perfect spot for a meal before catching a movie at Silverspot, or while shopping at University Place or A Southern Season.
