“This is going to be a detailed review. My son loves sushi and ramen. So for his birthday we chose to take him. I googled and we ended up here. I have never felt more welcomed walking into a restaurant. The menu selection was insane. We couldn't make up our minds. The woman (assuming owner) brought us hot tea with the warmest smile. Upon ordering, I was having trouble picking a sushi roll. The chef (assuming another owner) told me he was going to make me one called a Golden Tiger consisting of everything I love. First out was miso soup and ginger salad. Our family has never had either, and we're pleasantly surprised. Delicious!! When our food came out we were blown away with how much food it was haha. They explained the best way to eat each thing. The food was literally THE BEST Japanese food we've ever had. From the sushi, to ramen, to our other entries. We had mentioned it was our son's birthday. The two (assumed) owners came over with fried ice cream, candles and a happy birthday sign. They sang to him and were so joyful and sincere. As lame as this sounds I had tears in my eyes. If you've ever been on the fence, go!! My husband and I said after leaving we felt like we were having dinner in their homes. Felt like literal guests. Best experience I've EVER had at a restaurant. We will hopefully be back weekly.“

“Great food! Highly recommend.“

“Just ordered MaPo Tofu via DoorDash and I’m an so very impressed!! Flavor was outstanding! I asked for no spice (even though I do like a little), it came perfectly spiced. Portion was great and arrived hot. Definitely would recommend this dish! Definitely will be back!!! Great job Red Bowl!“

“Ordered takeout a few hours ahead for my brother in laws birthday. The food was ready to go and well packaged on time, so great service. I am a vegetarian, and the veggie sushi was good, but nothing incredible. My brother in law was also uninspired by the tuna and eel sushi, but still ate it. So I would give it a solid 3. However my sister in law (who doesn’t normally like sushi) tried the California roll and enjoyed it, even going back for more. So I count that as an extra star!“
