What User likes about Red Diner:
I'm coming here for the last 10 years. The food is consistently really good and good value for money. The staff is always attentive. The place also has karaoke rooms that are an explosion! A must to visit!!! View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Red Diner:
Food barely made the mark for UK Chinese food standards, all the flavours were there as it should. Although I'd avoid the duck meat, as it was dry and the flavourless. The rice that was served could also have been better, as there was charred bits, and overall dry, and not what I'd expect of steamed white rice. Perhaps the restaurant next door might fare better as it was crowded compared to this, which was empty on a... View all feedback.

The diner offers a cozy atmosphere with friendly service, making it a decent choice for families seeking affordable Chinese cuisine. Many patrons enjoy the quick service and flavorful dishes, especially the banquet option. However, not all experiences are positive, with some diners encountering chewy beef and poorly executed sweet and sour chicken. Service inconsistencies, including reluctance to provide tap water, have also emerged as concerns. On a brighter note, the venue shines during karaoke nights, with groups reveling in the fun atmosphere and competitive pricing. Overall, the diner captures a mix of enjoyable moments and areas needing improvement.

Very delicious! Yummy Appetiser platter! Chickens with black bean sauce and sweet and acidic shrimps were perfectly made. Friendly service on a Saturday night.

Several dishes that were ordered all had individual tastes and delicious flavours, well done, xınnián kuàilè.

Perfectly good. On a busy night we were served quickly the food arrived quickly. I would describe the food as standard Chinese fare like I have many times. Frie...
