Redwood Bistro - Redwood City

This restaurant was perfect for New Year's Day since we wanted a relaxing evening enjoying Chinese food on a sweet date with my partner. It was also comforting to know we were staying safe and away from the negativity and sickness in the world. We ordered five dishes for pickup and they were all delicious and hot, even though we were only six minutes away by car.

Personally a bit hard to review. I do really like some of their dishes, but I also really didn't like others. Would highly recommend: redwood original spicy noodles soup, water-boiled fish fillets with napa cabbage, fish fillets topped w/black beans garlic and chili, ma po tofu, salt and pepper chicken wings, salt and pepper pork chops, hunan chili pork. Would really not recommend: Szechuan dan dan noodles, chicken chow fun, singapore style fried rice noodles, green onion pancake, walnut prawns.

We love the original glazed ribs, twice cooked pork, tomato beef chow mein, and more! Great Chinese comfort food.

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 didn't 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! I'm 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. I've 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! He'll greatly appreciate it! Thank you again to Tina and all the wondedful staff at Redsood Bistro!

This restaurant is wonderful. My only issue was that the wonton chips were very stale, but it could have been because I arrived an hour before closing. The Shanghai noodles were decent, but lacked enough curry, flavor, or sauce. I highly recommend trying the red wood city glazed tofu. It had a taste similar to French toast and was incredibly filling and delicious. I would return just for that dish alone.
