China Red

"We have been going to China Red since it opened years ago in Brookmans Park. Still think it's the best restaurant of its type. Go. there but book first it's quite small. Does good takeaway too."

"Outstanding food and service by staff. Menu and especially the Tempura Prawns are amazing. I would highly recommend China Red."

"My wife and I have travelled to this restaurant on a few occasions from North London. Today we decided to book a table and asked if our table had a space for a pram, in response to my question the lady on the phone paused and proceeded to say ‘ um if your baby cries, can you take them out for a walk to calm them down’. I was speechless as this was the first time any restaurant and even China Red has made such ridiculous terms and conditions when booking a table. I kindly asked the lady to repeat herself as I was left confused, to which she repeated the new term and conditions. I then stated that i have visited the restaurant with my daughter many times and never received any complaints, nor ridiculous T&C. The lady proceed to explain over the Christmas period that they had received many complaints over babies/ children making noise, but emphasised that they are family friendly restaurant. Now are you really a family/ child friendly restaurant if you have specifically stated that if my baby makes one single noise I would have to leave the restaurant, quote “ walk up and down the street” in the cold , dark, winter evening/ night? I am sadden and shocked that you have made such new terms and conditions upon booking. Do you think as a mother , I would let my child scream down a restaurant? In fact in our previous visits to the restaurant you have complimented how well behaved my daughter was. I am disgusted! NOT A CHILD/ FAMILY RESTAURANT. Discrimination at it’s finest."

"Mixed feelings for now, will try other dishes and adjust as needed. I went for a take away. I probably should have asked for plastic utensils. The staff should probably asked if I need them. Chicken satay was quite good for a Chinese Restaurant in England. The sauce was noticeably different than what I remember from Malacca's and Georgetown's night markets, but still lightyears closer than typical English understanding of satay. Green thai curry however turned out to be huge disappointment. It was purely, blandly hot. Zero real spices or fishy ingredients you should expect at this price tag."
