Red Bowl Chinese - Christchurch

We ate dinner here last friday and it was amazing!! I ordered the chicken noodles, my partner got the fried rice and prawns, and the kids shared a plate of sweet and sour chicken. Everything was amazing and huge servings. We came home and ate the left overs the next day for lunch. It was a great meal at a great value!

5 Star! 5 star! 5 Star! What more can I say than 5 Stars! What are all these mad bads posting about sharks fin soup for? What's the difference between eating a sharks fin or a cow's hind leg? Anyways back to the point. Service was magnificent. Better than most Chinese restaurants in the Christchurch area. The food was so appetizing and appealing to the eye 5 stars. For the price I paid for my meals I felt bad as I personally felt that I was undercutting them because it was 5 stars. Will be back soon and many more times to try the whole menu. All in all: 5 Stars.

I've dined at the Red Bowl a few times and it can be a bit hit and miss, fortunately most of the occasions I've ventured over there it's been okay. <br/ <br/ The Red Bowl is a pretty big place and in the evening it can be incredibly busy so booking is probably a good idea.<br/ <br/ The setting is fairly cliche for a Chinese Restaurant, the usual lazy susans, chinese lamps, etc. Staff are usually pretty attentive but there are generally some hiccups that you get from time to time, such as:<br/ Meals/Entrees arriving in an illogical way i.e. rice for meal arriving before entrees, or having one person receive their main while the other waits a ridiculous amount of time<br/ We've had an item forgotten and have seen this happen with others as well<br/ Very little time before meals, sometimes meals arriving while you're still eating entrees<br/ <br/ While those are some of the downsides we've experienced, the food for the most part has been fantastic. The garlic beans are great and the rest of the fare pretty good, at least the times that I have been there.<br/ <br/ Recommended, but best book in advance and go there while they are busy.

I went to dinner with friends last night. Excellent food excellent service. Peking duck is exceptionally good. My friends all enjoy it and will definitely go back. Garlic pawns are delicious too. My friends said they will order those Chinese vege and beans again (sorry can't remember the names of those Chinese vege but they are delicious). A

Loved the food! The service was charming. Hubby and I went on a Tuesday night and ordered the Spicy Salty Squid and the Spicy Chicken with Vegetables and steamed rice. DE-LI-CIOUS!!!! Generous helpings . Couldn 't finish everything so asked for a 'doggy bag '. The place was full for a weeknight. No surprises there. The food was so yummy. We will visit again to sample their Yum Cha sometime soon.
