I recently visited the breakfast buffet at Red Bowl, which costs $8.75 plus tax on weekdays and $9.95 on weekends and holidays. The buffet is available from 6:30 AM to 11:30 AM, and since Red Bowl is open 24 hours, it's a convenient option for early risers.
At $8.75, the buffet excels in quantity rather than quality. You can find a variety of dishes, including congee, noodles, fried rice, dumplings, dim sum, fruits like watermelon, and drinks such as soybean milk, orange juice, and coffee. There are over 60 different items to choose from—be sure to check out my photo for a glimpse of the options available.
While the food is generally average, the wide selection is a plus, and if you're very hungry and looking to sample various dishes, the price becomes justifiable. I rated it three stars because, despite the tempting array of over 60 offerings, nothing stood out as exceptional.
The highlights for me were the congee, the hot soybean milk, and the tofu jelly/pudding with ginger sauce. Overall, I would consider returning if I have an hour to enjoy a substantial breakfast, especially since there aren't many great options available in Flushing between 6:30 and 7:30 AM.
After taxes, my total was around $9.53, and I left an $11 tip, making my breakfast somewhat pricey by Flushing standards. However, considering the generous amount of food available, I believe it’s worth it. Just make sure you have enough time to fully explore and enjoy all the different choices!
