This is a great spot if you're craving ramen noodles. I love their fried pork ramen! The service is also amazing.

Very flavorful chinese food. I always go for the hot and sour crystal noodle. Their skewers are also very tasty. They're closed during covid so Im happy that they reopened now and survived the pandemic.

The food is always great and the customer service is always better - the restaurant is owner-operated. Once you step in the doors it's almost like you're not in the hood anymore, the ambiance is dark and enticing. The owner is very friendly and makes a point to come around and greet every person. There are spice levels for food you can decide and the hot level is definitely hot and delicious. They have truly authentic Chinese/szechuan dishes.

Had lunch at this restaurant today. Food as well as service was excellent. Had Dumplings In Chili Oil (Pork), Thai milk tea and the lunch special. The Lunch special was Braised Pork Noodles bean sprouts, tomato sauce, bok choy, and egg. Portions are huge and took home the leftovers for another time. Again, great food and service. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

I visited during lunch on a Wednesday. They have a daily lunch special which is $12.99 and includes a soda which on this day was the beef hot bowl, so that is what I ordered. I chose medium spiciness but might go a little hotter next time. The bowl included the beef, incredible broth, mixed vegetables and several types of fungi along with a side of rice. The flavors were really great.I will definitely return!

I'll keep this simple. Poor service and horrible food. She tries to say it's traditional. Yea, I'm accustomed to Asian, traditional food as I spent a lot of time in Hong Kong, China and Japan. And she is not dishing out good, quality food. My advice is skip this place and there are plenty of other options close by.

Owner came out to talk, and had a wonderfully interesting story. My whole party loved the food and enjoyed the authentic cuisine here in the Tampa suburbs. Definitely deserves its high rating.

Red Bowl's Szechuan dishes are a total game-changer, packed with flavor that'll knock your socks off. Super chill vibe and the staff are just awesome, making it the perfect spot for that legit Szechuan fix.
I recently had the most exceptional dining experience at Red Bowl. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was inviting with traditional décor and soothing background music. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of our meal was perfect. The menu offered a wide variety of authentic dishes, each bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. I particularly enjoyed the vegetable salad , which was delicate and flavorful, and the sweet dumplings. Every dish was a culinary delight, and I left feeling completely satisfied. The attention to detail and commitment to excellence, and I cannot wait to return for another unforgettable dining experience.

My friends and I visited Red Bowl for a girl’s night out. We were given warm and hearty welcomes even though the restaurant was closing in fifteen minutes - they were kind enough to make an exception in spite of how big our group was.Red Bowl made every edition requested to accommodate our dietary restrictions and were prompt with their service. We received piping hot and fragrant food within ten minutes of being seated.I ordered the hot Fu Rong soup without the ground pork. The broth was the most complex and flavorful broth I have ever had. The flavor of the Szechuan pepper was bright and pleasant, with a citrusy aftertaste. Portion sizes was bigger than usual, but it was so delicious that I was able to eat all of it. For people with smaller appetites, I would recommend sharing. The vegetables were crisp yet fully cooked, with the mild flavor presenting a nice contrast to the boldness of the soup. This dish features scrambled eggs that were cooked to a fluffy texture that absorbed the soup completely. We also ordered a Thai tea. It tasted rich but wasn’t too sweet and was an amazing compliment to the Fu Rong. This is definitely the best noodle soup dish I have had in Tampa.The most touching factor was undoubtedly the wonderful service. The staff on shift were patient and helpful, and on our way out the chef ran out of the kitchen to say goodbye. Normally I don’t write reviews, but their friendliness encouraged me to support them and their business. Thank you, Red Bowl!

Incredible food, wonderful service. We had the braised beef ramen and sesame balls. The staff is so kind- I was under the weather, and a staff member brought me extra broth. Lovely place, will go again!
