After finding a long hair in my bowl of prawn crackers and explaining this to the waitress, with the comment, really and then just walked away. The best was the final course when they they did not bring any rice to go with the main course, when advised to the English waiter he showed no compassion and just pulled a face of get on with it, when we finally caught some attention to obtain some rice we were told they were still cooking it !!!! By the time the rice arrived our main meals were cold.Shame as the food was good just need new waiters !!!!

We visited China Red for a meal with friends. The restaurant is well decorated with lots of good touches like the koi pool and spacious dining area. There are lots of food options available on the menu and also a really good value for money set menu option for sharing.I had the crispy chilli chicken with egg fried rice, and it was really tasty and perfectly cooked. Often with crispy chicken dishes, other chefs can go overboard with the oil and sauces, and it becomes a big soggy and chewy but not at China red it was just right.

Food was good, service a bit slow, could've done with some background music.

friendly staff, typical menu but also very extensive and the service super quick. Nice big tables and a lovely fish pond but it's a bit bright and spacious to be cosy.

Completely different to how it used to be 10 years ago (when I last went). There was no rushing you from your table, the food wasn't cheap, brightly coloured flavourless.Very pleasantly surprised, food was really good and would definitely go back

Food and service was good but the five of us were the only customers on this Thursday evening therefore low atmosphere rating. In years gone by, this place was very popular and for whatever reason, it would appear to have lost favour: what a crying shame as there is nothing wrong with the food or service. ?

Only ordered on Just Eat app. Prompt delivery, hot and tasty food. Always send free veg rolls and prawn crackers.

This is a fantastic takeaway and restaurant, always had great service from the staff, the food has always been cooked to a very high standard and they can seat a lot of people in their restaurant.

Always amazing food with great portion sizes. Wonderful, friendly staff and a great, relaxed atmosphere. One of our "go-to" places for a family meal.Parking: There is paid parking at the Wetherspoons nearby, which is a maximum of £3.50 for 24 hours, but no parking specifically for China Red.

No way to treat new customers.Because Jade Gdn was shut for holidays we tentatively ordered a selection of meals at for take away and opted to collect instead of delivery. With us living in Singleton delivery here was unlikely anyway, or would have taken a very very long time to arrive. So I make the drive myself, which including parking and collecting on foot it is at best a 25min round trip. I paid and took the food home, only to find out the bag of food we were given was for a different order. A member of staff phoned up at the same time we realised and, to his credit, was very very apologetic.Now mistakes happen, I get theat, so I offered to return the food and collect my actual order in person, another 25min round trip thinking this would still be quicker than waiting for them to come here instead (which they should have done to be fair, and with hindsight I should have insisted on).When I eventually get back to China Red for the second time I'm presented with a bag which contains our food, and the same staff member tells me that I hadn't paid enough the first time around, and the price difference for the 1st bag of food against our actual bag of food was £13, so can I pay this before leaving !!Fair enough they made a mistake the first time, but then seeing as I made the gesture of personally coming back with it, from Singleton, I suggest we split the difference seeing as I had been so inconvenienced and none of this was my fault. He goes off to the kitchen to ask the Owners, coming back saying that they say "no" !His message to me from the Owners was that the only option is to pay the full £13 or nothing. For me it's not the money issue here, £6.50 or £13 I couldn't care less, but the manner in which things played out that annoyed me. The Owners didn't come to apologise, just a blunt demand for more money from the very person that went out of their way to help them sort the original mistake out.We get Chinese food for the whole family at least 2x a month, though pretty much exclusively from Jade Garden. I just don't understand the mentality of a business that treats potential new customers this way. Are they not trying to win business away from their direct competition on Poulton ?On principle now we will never spend money with China Red again. If that's how you willingly treat your local customer base I think it only fair to share this experience with others.On top of all that, the food was honestly pretty poor. Not a patch on what we normally get from Jade Garden though it wouldn't matter if it had been the best food ever, I don't ever want to give them any more of my cash !
