Really tasty food! - all our dishes were great. My friend is American Chinese, so we are more particular than most, but she was completely satisfied and happy. We are stoked; been looking for a good Chinese restaurant for awhile and now have our go to.

Once in a while, you find a restaurant that serves great food with a great attitude, and your soul yearns for you to come back again. Im happy to say, this is one of those places for me.Food: 5/5Service: 5/5Atmosphere: 5/5Price: 5/5 (Inexpensive)This little cafe doesnt look like much from the outside, but youll be instantly amazed the moment you walk in. Our waitress, Lulu, is one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. Aside from providing the best service Ive ever experienced, she went above and beyond by telling me (a new grad student) a lot about the area. Its nice to feel that someone cares about you.The food itself was beyond outstanding. The imperial pork chops were the best. Coming right out of the fryer, they were really crispy and tangy. The fish in chili oil goes great over rice. If youre looking for an authentic Szechuan dish, this is it. It may be too spicy for some, but you can ask to have it mild when you order.Overall, the food and service were both outstanding. Its about 7 miles away from my campus, but thats not going to stop me from coming back.

Lovely place. Only complaint was that the wonton chips were very stale but maybe it’s because I went an hour before closing. Shanghai noodles are okay but not enough curry, flavor, or sauce. I HIGHLY recommend the red wood city glazed tofu. It tasted like French toast and was sooo filling and amazing I’d come back just for that alone.

So glad we dropped by! Craving authentic Asian food without a bunch of unnecessary additives. The food is freshly cooked when ordered and you can see the chefs hard at work. There is not a ton of seating inside but it was not crowded on a Sunday evening. The prices are very reasonable. Will def be back!

Service was great! We came here for dinner and ordered the hot and sour soup, mapo tofu and the dried sauteed beef with chilies. Food came out quickly and was really good. One thing I didnt like was that the rice was not included and that you have to order it separately. Overall it was a great experience and will be coming back here! Their lunch menu looked really decent price and food wise so will be checking that out!

Great family owned business. Easy parking. The food was good but needs a little bit more flavor. Very friendly folks and efficient. We may come back if in the area!

Wow, this place is amazing! I ended up in Redwood City after dropping off a passenger from S.F. and was itching for some good chinese food. I ended up choosing this spot after seeing all the positive reviews. Let me say that the positivd reviews are legit!I was greeted by the awesome Tina, who was also my server. She was very polite and courteous. Now let me get to the good stuff, the food! I ordeded a Lemon Chicken plate. The side items I chose were soup and fried rice. I didnt know what to expect considering I was getting a plate at lunch special price. I was very surprised at the quality and faste of the food!Im very particular about the chicken I eat and I immediately noticed this place uses white chicken meat. The soup was delicious and came in nice little bowl with a matching spoon. The rice had a nice flavor, not bland or sticky, and most importantly... fluffy! The plate was well presented and garnished with a couple slices of lemon. Again, not what I was expecting considering the price I was paying.Overall I highly recommend this place whether you come during lunch or dinner hours. Ive been to many chinese food restaurants in my life and Redwood Bistro will be my favorite from now on.Also, remember to compliment the unsung hero of this place, the chef! Hell greatly appreciate it!Thank you again to Tina and all the wondedful staff at Redsood Bistro!

The food was tasty and there were lots of vegetarian options. The szechuan eggplant didnt actually have szechuan or much spice, it just tasted like basil eggplant (but was still tasty). I like how crispy the kung pao tofu was. The people were friendly but took a while to bring our rice.

Ive been ordering delivery from here for the longest time and its always delicious. I had the pleasure of being in the area today and eating there in person was even better! Honestly I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. My favorite is the Szechuan wonton soup.

It was not one piece of chicken in my sweet and sour chicken and lemon chicken. Taste like a string of skin in each bite hardly baby meat. What a ripoff!!! Service ok food no worth it. I walked through the back and they had herbs sitting out with the cleaning stuff.
