Redwood Bistro

This is our absolute favorite takeout place. Everything is just so delicious. Between Mountain View and San Mateo there used to be an Asian food dead zone and this wonderful restaurant was our go to. There are way more options now but we still go to Redwood Bistro because they are the BEST! I love that the owners are local and part of our community. Our favorites are the eggplant, green (long beans) and salt and pepper fish! Highly recommend.

Our second visit to Redwood Bistro in relatively quick succession was late on the day after Thanksgiving. We had enjoyed our previous experience and were in the neighborhood and called, as it was within 30 minutes to closing. We were warmly greeted when we arrived and the food was great. This time we tried the Redwood spicy noodles, which had numbing peppercorns in the broth, but balanced and not overpowering, the Redwood glazed ribs, tender and slightly sweet and the eggplant and beef, which was also excellent! Thank you for your hospitality and the delicious meal.

Food: 4-5/5 Service: Standard, didn’t lack anything Ambiance: Casual Value: 4/5 We ordered the chongqing style beef, cabbage, cold noodles w/ chicken and dumplings. The Chongqing style beef is definitely a specialty item and more “unique” where you may not find it at every Chinese restaurant. This was my favorite dish and imo really good. The cabbage was tasty and the rest of dishes were good, but nothing mind blowing. Service was standard where we got refills timely and food came out quick, but nothing above and beyond. I would come back again for certain dishes and that comfort feeling.

Pretty average Chinese spot. They are open late! We ordered pickup, and it was ready to go in a reasonable amount of time. Very limited seating inside. It's located in a busy area so it was a little challenging to find parking.

You know after I ordered I thought “this better be some AMAZING Chinese food if they make me pay extra just for white rice to come with the dish” and well, it WAS amazing. Probably the best general tso I’ve had! Definitely worth the price!
