The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful and it came out so fast. No long drawn out wait time for food meant we could get to the show in plenty of time.

We were a big group of about 14, so they sat us at the sort-of private room at the lower floor of the restaurant, which was great as we had a little privacy. The food was quick and tasty, and pretty well-priced. There was a good selection on the menu. Also, it was BYO. They do close early, so they ask you to vacate the table before 10:30 from memory. Would recommend this place for big groups, and I'm pretty sure we'll be back.

Our first time. Service was prompt. We liked the dumplings but the stirfry dish we ordered was a strange lemon flavour which we didn't like. We wouldn't chose that again, but you don't know until you try.

Not familiar with the ordering system so a bit confusing to start with. We were downstairs where the noise level was dreadful. We couldn't hold a conversation. The whole thing was rushed and not the relaxing evening we were hoping for. The food was tasty but not exceptional

This was our first visit but we will be back. The food was excellent and the ordering via the online screen was great fun. The staff were incredibly welcoming and very attentive, carefully checking out choices and helping us with menu items for a food allergy one of the party had. A fabulous experience

Most of the food was good but at least one dish was put on the table with the dumplings the wrong way over looking unappealing. Staff could maybe smile and mention what each dish was instead of mumbling if anything. At least food well priced!

You order with a touchscreen (which is fun!) so there's not much service. But they did keep filling up my tea which was nice. Food is cheap and delicious!

Quick and easy ordering system. Xiao Long Bao was tasty and juicy. Salty bean curd was also nice. Dough was too chewy and thick on vegetable dumplings. Staff don’t speak just bring and take plates. Not super friendly and not the cheapest place for dim sum.

My husband & I like China Red because the food is really good but the waitress are useless. They just bring the food and put on the table & walk away. When we asked for a bottle of water it took 1/2 hour and we had to remind them 3times. We took 7 of our friends there and they were all disappointed. Maybe they need some training. Food is good but service is zero
