Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

In late November, I visited here on a winter evening. It was just off of the main street, where there was a Christmas market going on the same evening. We did not have a booking and they accommodated quickly. I found the food to be...of quality ingredients, and the service was quick, on a busy Friday evening.More

Went today for the first time. Just for a quick lunch . We had the prawn toast Hot and sour prawn soup Beef noodles The noodles were HUGE and so good. The beef was very tender. Flavour was perfect. Easily enough for two to share...for a lunch The soup had the most amazing flavour but unfortunately was just pure vinegar. Was so so strong and left me unable to eat it. The sauce was so good apart from that. I was burping vinegar for hours after. It also had 2 tiny frozen prawns in. It's only £4.50 so that's fine. But the vinegar was bad. The prawn toast was amazing. Super thick chunky prawn Service was fantastic and quick.More

We booked a table for a family birthday. When we got there the was no table ready for us so staff tried to sit 6 of us on a table for 4 right by the draughty door. When we requested a better table we were...seated right at the back of the restaurant on an un set table, next to a dirty storage area and a massive freezer! Someone came to put plates and cutlery on the table after about 10 mins. After 30 minutes had past we got sick of waiting for someone to actually serve us and even ask if we wanted to order drinks. We all walked out. The staff were so unobservant and indifferent to us that they didn't even notice the 6 of us walking out! Will never go there again. We went to Wong Ting around the corner and the service was brilliant.More

We have visited this restaurant on a number of occasions and we booked here for NYE. The restaurant has always had predominantly Chinese people eating in it which for me is always a good sign. NYE did not disappoint, although the decor is a little...tired , the food was amazing. Prices are very reasonable to say that it’s in the heart of the City. I have never had a bad meal and I look forward to eating my way through the menu in 2023More

Booked in for a family dinner while visiting family in Sheffield, can't recommend China Red highly enough. Absolutely delicious food, and the service was second to none. Highly recommend the pan fried dumplings!

Today I was lucky enough to try the hidden gem that is China Red. I often don’t like Chinese cuisine as I find it too oily and greasy but this is just delicious! The restaurant specialises on authentic Chinese cuisine with a menu that suits...the tastebuds of all. The king prawns today were large , juicy and extremely tasty but also were the classic likes of prawn toast and egg fried rice. The staff were friendly and Kelvin who owns the restaurant really knows his stuff and made brilliant recommendations based of my preferences with meats and seafood and also heat. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for delicious, authentic food in a relaxed environment.More

We love Chinese food but are always deflated with the Chinese-English types of food because we know it is not authentic and it is to cater to the English perception of Chinese food. We have travelled the length of the UK, including China and honestly,...the food here is better than anything we have tried AND, it is consistently excellent. Dependent on how truly adventerous you are there are a variety of dishes from the ones you usually find e.g. sweet and sour chicken to the more Szechaun based dishes (hot pot). More often than not the food is spicy but there are equally tasty options. We travel from out of area to come to this Chinese, it is simply the best (and not by a little) we have ever had.More

Tried this for the 1st time. Amazing tasty authentic szeuchan food. Not cheap but big portions and quality! First time we took a doggie bag home. Staff were friendly and service prompt. We had the crispy duck for starters. Shredded beef with chillies, chicken in...black bean sauce, fish fillets with salt and chilli, rice and noodles. Delicious! It's a keeper for us.More

I came across the China Red Restaurant in the Moors shopping area by accident and thought it looked good for lunch - even though i was 15 minutes after their 4pm lunch time menu, they were happy to serve me. Happy to point out food...allergies. Good quality Egg & Seaweed Soup with Ginger Prawns, washed down with a soda for a great price. Very filling, authentic. Only issue was they brought out a folk and spoon (i guess being white), but they were happy to bring chopsticks when i asked. One to remember!More

One of the best Chinese I’ve had in the UK this is a fabulous authentic Schezuhan restaurant. Yes, there are lots of unusual dishes of bits of animals we wouldn’t usually eat, but there were loads that were more accessible for western tastebuds. Everything was...freshly cooked and flavourful and came piping hot. Portions are massive and therefore the restaurant is excellent value. We highly recommend the salt and pepper pork (wonderfully crispy), the green beans with chilli and pork, the duck and winter melon (1st time for us to eat winter melon- the duck was very tender), the sweetcorn and pine nuts (simple dish and a nice contrast to other stronger flavours), and the steamed dumplings.More
