Crouching Tiger Restaurant & Bar: A Culinary Haven for Authentic Chinese Cuisine

The food was beyond excellent. I tried many dishes, and every single one was made with incredible quality. The dishes were not greasy, and yet they were packed with intense, wonderful flavors. The fried rice was fresh and lightly cooked with soy sauce and oil. It wasn't slick or too greasy. This is not your typical americanized chinese food restaurant--the chefs here know how each dish should be crafted. I have to recommend ordering the magic chili prawns. They are peeled, lightly battered shrimps in a medly of chilis that you can't find elsewhere. It was lemony, but not sour, and very balanced. The orange chicken, spicy eggplant, and szechaun lamb are honorable mentions.

Love this restaurant! It offers authentic Chinese cuisine with rich favors and generous portions. The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, making it a great spot for family dinners or a night out with friends. Highly recommended for anyone craving quality Chinese food in Redwood City. Parking has to be street parking though.

If you’re a pork and spice lover like me try their hunan preserved pork. It is one of the best Chinese dishes ever. My favorite. This is a Chinese restaurant so expect Chinese service. You know, very quick and direct to the point. Don’t expect to come in here thinking they’re great at small talk and charming you. You’re in the Bay Area not a southern state

I was visiting a friend in San Francisco, four of us had lunch just so before my flight back to Houston. Absolutely loved the food! The dry shrimp and boiled fish was deliciously warm and spicy, just the right heat you need especially on a chilly day. Customer service is great as well and we didn’t have to wait long for our food.

I don't even know that sichuan cold noodles are this tasty! And wonton soup is very comforting.

I don't know how we missed this place! The Dan Dan Noodles and Dry Sauteed Beef with Chili were both delicious. The beef was definitely the highlight – very crispy and spicy, shredded in small pieces. The Dan Dan Noodles were numbing and mildly spicy, although I could have gone for noodles that were slightly less cooked. Both were very generous portions, for reasonable prices. Great service, including a water fill-up!

What a treat! The food is phenomenal and at the right price. Authentic Chinese cuisine right at the heart of the Peninsula. This restaurant is definitely not your Americanized Chinese food. We're talking about a proper authentic meal at a somewhat rundown place which just adds to the experience. Absolutely will return.

Absolute 5 star!! Incredible food, best service I've seen in a SiChuan restaurant, clean environment, no wait, and a comfortable, well decorated environment. Came here with my family after a movie. GPS led us to the backdoor of the restaurant, which wasn't very appealing. Thankfully, the waitress politely led us to our seats just when my family was starting to have doubts. Food completely blew us away. The lamb dish was the best I've had, just the right amount of cumin (not too much!). Vegetables were suprisingly packed with flavor. Very authentic.
