China Red in Sheffield

The staff was friendly but the food was quite bland and a little more expensive than some other places nearby. We were not impressed by the portion size either.

Sadly, on Sunday, it was closed. But on previous visits the food was absolutely fantastic. The service is fantastic. We love this restaurant and can not understand why it isn't busier.

I visit this restaurant a lot. Really love the food. Especially the grilled fish is very tasty. I recently tried some new dishes which was tasty as well. Also our server Maggie was very friendly. Loved her customer service

The wait was super long, and it was said that the meal was served according to the order number, but the table next door was about ten minutes behind us and the meal was served earlier than us. They were already extremely unhappy, expressed more than once, and even charged a service fee. Extremely bad review.

Went in around 6 pm as the first evening customers felt a little unsure. However it turned out to be really good. Service was good and food was nice with good Chinese saying (wok hay). Portions are big and it tastes just right especially the dumplings. Food is reasonably priced as well.

Authentic Chinese food. Must visit

Very bad experience. The service attitude is very bad. I first asked if I wanted a drink, but I thought there was still half a bottle left in my bag after the hike, so I didn’t order one. Then an old woman kept staring! When he drank the rest of his drink, she immediately came over and said he was not allowed to drink it! Bringing your own drinks is not allowed in the store! The last communication was that he was reluctantly allowed to drink water. The two of us ordered 3 meat dishes, but we were tired of not finishing them all, so we asked for a takeaway box, but she was very reluctant. Then! Started to show off his face. This old woman rolled her eyes and ran over to start clearing the table before we finished packing. Bad attitude throughout. The key point was that it was only 7 o'clock, and there were only three tables of guests at night. Almost no one. I don’t know why I collected it in such a hurry. I saw a table leaving before but didn't close it immediately. Maybe we didn't order anything to drink. (I came here to travel and never met such a person. I recommend people from the Northeast nearby. The boss is warm, generous and hospitable. The food is better than this one. The portion is bigger and cheaper than this one! He drank the water he brought without telling us. We asked for it. It’s not that people from Northeastern China don’t open the door at night, so they won’t come to eat at this restaurant. It’s a disappointing restaurant.)

China Red is one of the better known Chinese restaurants in Sheffield. I've always had consistently good food served. We've had many enjoyable and memorable meals here.

The dry pots and fried frog legs and squid are incredible and generously portioned

Everything about China Red is exceptional. The food is delicious, and the service is attentive. All staff are friendly & helpful. It is one of the best Chinese restaurants for quality, taste & service. Highly recommend.

First dinner in Shieffield. The food is delicious. I ordered dry pot shrimps, fried rice, salt and pepper shredded potatoes, grilled fish, and white meat with garlic paste. The shrimp meat will not be fishy. There are quite a lot of chicken pieces in the fried rice. Shredded potatoes are an instant hit. The grilled fish is quite large, with crispy skin and tender meat. It comes with side dishes. One portion can feed 3-4 people. The white meat with garlic paste is also good, and the sauce is very special. The clerk specially introduced it and said it is the signature feature of the store. The toilet is very clean. Bonus points👍🏻 The overall dining experience is good. The menu has many choices, ranging from heavy to light. It is quite suitable for family and friends gatherings.

Absolutely fabulous 👌 Very friendly and food was excellent.

Best place to have chicken Fried rice

Excellent authentic Sichuan Cuisine, nice Chinese atmosphere, welcoming and great service

Delicious food with a home cooked feel.

Booked my daughter's 18th Birthday meal and Karaoke for 25 people. The food and service was exquisite. Service received from the staff was second to none. With a variety of dishes, a dish for every appetite After the meal and cutting of the cake we all went upstairs to the Karaoke room where we had a blast. Our daughter was very pleased with the whole evening celebration.

The food is immense, portions are incredible and brilliant service

Food was good that's all I can say about the place we will go again

My favourite of the Chinese restaurants I’ve visited in Sheffield so far! I would recommend their Salt & Pepper Squid and the Special Blood Pudding in Chilli Oil. The Sweet & Sour Pork was fantastic as well. My wife ordered a bunch of traditional Chinese dishes that I don’t know the names of, but they were great too. Really Yummy! We spent £20-30 per person, but honestly that’s because we like to order a lot of dishes for two people.

We had such a lovely lunch today, the staff were extremely friendly, and the food authentic and delicious. I can't wait to return!

China Red serves delicious authentic Chinese dishes with lovely fresh food and generous portion sizes. The staff are friendly and very helpful and the restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere. The food is quite expensive though!

Wonderful service, incredibly friendly staff. Had an excellent experience here.

Service charge of two pounds per table. Rice costs 6.4 pounds for two people. I want to say what kind of service do you charge for the service fee? Rice is so expensive. Bad service attitude. The meal was okay.

Really bad service. The food was good but the people were on their phones and not bothered to serve or look at customers. Only two people were there and both of them were arrogant and rude when we ask something. After all this bad behaviour they charge you service charge !!! Really bad !

Very nice restaurant and gorgeous food, only reason I've put 3 stars for atmosphere is because we went on a week day evening so it was quiet.

We went for our anniversary and had a lovely meal. Could do with a little bit more heating though still comfortable.

Szechuan dishes which is spicy and hot mostly, something different from normal Cantonese cuisine.

My grandaughter was violently sick after eating here tonight. It was aweful and not cheap either. It has spoilt our mini break.

The food counts here, you have to ignore the ambience. Friendly staff.

Order a take away on Uber eats. It said the order was ready for collection by a driver then the driver changed 4 times. And the delivery time extended by an hour. We finally managed to get hold of the allocated driver as we couldn't get hold of the restaurant. Whilst he was on the phone to us he was talking to the manager who was extremely rude to him a just told him cancel the order. 2 hours we waited and still had no food and now no order. Absolutely disgusting. Would never recommend to anyone.

That was our first experience in China Red and we will definitely come again! We’ve ordered king prawns in sweet and sour sauce, chicken with cashews and noodles with bean sprouts - that was too much for the two of us😄 but we managed to finish the meal. Thank you for the delicious meals and clean atmosphere! Even toilets were freshly cleaned and that was pleasant to have a dinner out in your restaurant

Probably the best option for Chinese food in Sheffield. Very enjoyable overall.

Brilliant find .. excellent and interesting food .. definitely MUST go again .. and again. Food well cooked and very tasty.

The food was fantastic although the timings weren't quite right. 1 starter coming out 5 mins after the other, same with the mains. It was, as mentioned, fantastic when it came

We experienced racism. I feel all of us should be treated equally but if u don't understand what we are trying to say you can be polite and ask us to repeat it again instead of being rude.

"found" this place in our first visit to Sheffield with our son and daughter in law. We don't frequent Chinese restaurants often so made some rookie mistakes but it was all good as it meant we had food to take home! The pork dumplings are the best we've had and the squid dish my eldest son selected was delicious! The portions are very generous and worth the price. We enjoyed it so much we will be making it our regular yearly family Christmas tradition whilst they live in Yorkshire.

We ordered a takeaway with crispy shredded beef and a whole duck. When it arrived the duck was in battered packaging and was more bone than duck and completely inedible. The crispy beef was not crispy but soft and the whole meal was Luke warm and not hot. I called to complain but the person on the other end was completely disinterested and would not let me get a word in edgeways. All they would say was we needed to complain to Uber eats and not them. To me this is completely out of order they cooked and supplied it but won’t take any responsibility for what they have sent out. For the extortionate prices they have charged they should be ashamed to send out food of such poor quality. The worst takeaway food I have ever had. What ever you do never order from this company as you will be ripped off and they won’t take any responsibility for anything. Completely ruined our New Years Eve.

Came across this restauraunt on the way back to my hotel. Absolutely wonderful food which panders less to western tastes than any asian restaurant I've tried. It is not the cheapest but food and service are second to none! I'll go back at the next opportunity.

Nice little restaurant, a hidden jem, food was great and plenty of it, and at a reasonable price, 5 of us ate and with drinks came to less than £140 plus we have food left over to take home. The menu has plenty of chose with some lovely traditional fare. Worth a visit and enjoy.

Placed two orders that never arrived. Gave them a second chance through different delivery app and still didn’t come.

Good for Chinese special foodies lover

China red has a Christmas stall right next to Primark (very close to the actual restaurant). I was very excited to try out their food as I love Chinese food. However, this turned out to be more than terrible! Hard chips which have been fried over and over….chicken pieces that could break your teeth down. Never again!!! I wouldn’t even accept it for free. The chicken pieces were fried in the some very cheap fat which coated as a white layer in the cold when the temperature dropped. Notice this from the leftover I brought home accidentally. Went straight to the bin. What a waste of money, time and food and let down of expectations.

I had to go to Sheffield today for my Visa... After we went to Cinema with my partner and later to the market... We was looking for a restaurant near to the market and we saw the red Chinese restaurant,👍 Really clean, many choices on the menu, fast service and nice people. I liked the food, the rise was really tasty and the pork I had was really good and soft!!! Definitely I recommend that restaurant, quiet place and nice Chinese food!

Great Chinese restaurant. The staff are attentive and polite but do not pester you. There are a wide range of dishes available, including many that you won't find at most Chinese takeaway restaurants. The ingredients are cooked very well, the dishes are delicious and the prices are very reasonable. China Red offer both dining in and takeaway and I have always enjoy the food, regardless of if I dine in the restaurant or take food home. Definitely worth checking out.

I ordered your food tonight and I am really disappointed. Felt like I was served leftovers. I had white rice not mixed properly with fried rice. The prawns was over cooked and tasted like tissue. Dissolved right in my mouth like wet paper. The soy was still visible on the prawns and obviously not well mixed. I ordered through Uber eat and I am so disappointed! I had a long night and I was looking forward to having a good dinner. Plans went down the drain.

Very good food I even got to watch cobra Kai whilst eating noodles

Excellent menu, food delicious and hot. Quick service.

Quiet mid week but excellent food

Visited their event food stall at the Peace Gardens event today, very yummy food at a great price. The young man and the Aunty working there were very nice. Would recommend visiting their restaurant - best Chinese food in Sheffield 5*****

Dropped on by chance and wasn't disappointed excellent food and service, portions decent sizes however the salt and pepper chips were beautiful £40 for 2 with 2 drinks great value for money we will be back soon.

Firstly booked a reservation on the China Red Website but had no confirmation , so rang to confirm the booking and all was well for Saturday st 1800 …. We visited on time but had to wait for a table to be free which was frustrating , was told a table was cleared for us , this was fine but another couple was led to the table …. was then led to a very quiet adjacent part of the restaurant .. ordered drinks and food , drinks came but no food , decided to pay up for the drinks consumed , very very poor service

Excellent food. Efficient and friendly service. I went two days in row while in Sheffield for only three days

Surly staff unless you speak Chinese, food not bad but "sliced chicken" is just pressed bits that have been chopped up. Disappointing compared with other local Chinese restaurants.

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.

Love the food here Great Chinese. Good service. Thanks again.

I was walking through the city centre around 3:00PM looking for a restaurant. Then I saw this restaurant and I would like to try something new and I thought that chinese will be a good option. So I decided to try it the atmosphere of the restaurant was really nice . Soon after get into the restaurant I asked them for menu. It was a bit difficult for me to choose what to order then I selected House special fried rice. It won’t take to long they gave my lunch with in a short time. The cost of it was £9.50 and they also included the service fee which is £1 so total £10.50. The special fried rice was really tasty and I really liked it.The minimum payment by card is £10.

We go there regularly, eat in or take away, never let us down. Staffs always very helpful and thoughtful. Just took friends from Shanghai to there, they love there.

Really tasty food and very nice service

蒜泥白肉很好吃！For people who doesn't speak chinese, I would highly recommend to order “蒜泥白肉”。It's spicy (not too spicy) and very garlicky, super tasty.

Been there for couple of times and the foods were nice as usual. One of the favorite Chinese restaurants.

Food was 5* but the loose leaf green tea was terrible - see pics. Pale and watery, old leaves used, never darkened in colour like fresh leaves in boiling hot water should. Issue with our drinks too, they didn't come and we were left without any beverages for about 15 mins and only came when we asked again with food. Really a shame as the food was so good!

Fantastic restaurant. Me and my wife called in 3 weeks ago after Watching a show at the Lyceum. Not very busy at 7pm on a Saturday evening. The service was friendly and quick. I had spicy egg fried rice(which was delicious) and a beef curry. My wife had egg fried rice, with beef and garlic sprouts(even though they look like green beans on the photo) my wife loved it, also I tried her dish and it was excellent. This meal, and 3 drinks between us was just over £55. Two very satisfied customers. We will return when we are next in Sheffield. Lots of choices, highly recommend. Thank you china red!

Hadn't been for years but the meal was wonderful. Chicken with cashew nuts for me and pork belly for my friend and both were delicious.

Made an order at 1930, the food arrived at 2137. Stone-cold, soggy and messy. Very disappointed.

Really delicious Szechuan style dishes spicy and authentic, as well as 'classics' Attentive and friendly service. Nice warm atmosphere.

Really enjoyed the food here, Great atmosphere...... Will most definitely be back...

Ordered from this restaurant through Uber Eats. Order kept getting delayed. Nearly 45 minutes late and still not arrived. Wont even answer the phone for me to query. Terrible service

We ordered one chicken sweet corn soup, stir-fried duck with Chinese mushrooms ( its worse experience too salt), and one special fried rice. The food was too salty.

Food amazing. Service amazing. Friendly attentive and polite. Food really really good and lots of it

I never like giving a negative review, but feel the need to tell it like it is. When I booked they said the service might be slow, given it was Chinese new year; they weren't kidding! Over one hour and a half between ordering and getting our starters. So, the restaurant was cold, the food average and the service non-existant. Won't be going back!

we had to ask 3 times before we were given a glass of water. Food was served late and incorrectly. Transaction done in cash only. There were no smiles from the staff. Restaurant was not busy but list of problems continued a terrible experience better to forget

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.

Lovely food and loads to eat. Very cosy and staff very helpful

Absolutely fantastic lunch at China Red today. I had the salt and pepper king prawns which were in a whole other league to any salt and pepper dish I've had before. I also tried the beef with a chilli oil based sauce. The flavour was incredible. Can't recommend enough.

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 2023

Went here for a family meal for 12 on a recommendation from a friend. Round table seated us all, staff helped us choose just the right amount of dishes and advised on appropriate dishes to share, including pork spare ribs in sweet and sour sauce which were delicious! It was really good value too. Will definitely be going back!

Great food pleasant staff definitely will be back

Service is so incredibly slow its unbelievable, over 2 hours wait for 3 dishes! I'm not one to leave negative reviews especially when the food is nice but we ended up eating a kebab whilst waiting for this to show up as we were so hungry. Really disappointing :(

Just come home from this restaurant. The food was fine, but the service was soooooo slow. Completely unattended. I suspect we could have sat there (9 of us) and not be served all night. If you have any kids with you, I wouldn't ever recommend coming here.

Very nice food. A lot of them spicy meals.

Nice Chinese food with a good lunch time and evening menu would recommend to anyone looking for a quick lunch or night time meal or even take away. Friendly staff clean restaurant amazing food and all at a reasonable price what more can you ask for. Looks like we have now found our favourite chines in Sheffield

What a fantastic authentic Chinese meal 10/10 great flavours, fantastic staff. We will definitely be back again

The food from their extensive was excellent and good value. I would definitely come again. Didn't need to book, just walked in.

I've been to a fair amount of Chinese restaurants in Sheffield, as you may have gathered from my reviews. This is one of the best.

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS FOOD,just wow. Best I have had in years.top marks for everything and I'm hard to please. Will be visiting again soon.

There was way too much vinegar in sweet and sour soup and we waited for it way too long. It was served together with the mains. Décor needs improving.

Excellent food and service highly recommend this place

I’d give a three star for the quality of food, at least it’s ordinary. But I do not recommend anybody ordering take away from this place. We ordered two dishes and it took them 1 hour and 40 mins cook and deliver. The delivery driver told us the restaurant was empty while the restaurant asserted that they were busy. Very bad experience in general. 永远不要从这家点外卖，非常非常非常慢而且服务态度巨差。菜的味道也很一般。大家不要踩雷。

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!

One of the worst takeaways I've recieved in my life. I'm rarely compelled to post negative reviews, but I will never order here again. Every item undercooked. But the pork in peking sauce was a vat of barely fried, inebile fat. Even my cat refused to touch it. An almost mythical experience of how to fail. I cannot believe any genuine chef made that and had the gall to offer it up to a paying customer. Avoid at all costs.

Authentic, amazing, Szechuan restaurant. Everyone should go, take out is good too. Sorry I've not reviewed the previous 20 times!

Nice restaurant, very authentic, prices a bit more than other Chinese restaurants although a lot of places have put there prices up so probably about average now. I ordered a lamb curry and my gosh it was a large portion, there was a lot of lamb which was cooked lovely not tough at all. However I did think the actual curry was slightly salty. I also ordered some chips which I think they forgot about, I've always liked Chinese curry and chips when the chips came it was a large portion, but they already put salt on?! So having the chips on my curry did seem even more salty. Although it was still good and my friend said it was the best chinese he's had. Lamb Curry £12.50, chips £4, bottle of Fanta £3.50. Definitely will come again, will pick something else and will have rice with the meal next time.

£14.50 for a takeaway Sweet and Sour chicken with chips. Why!? Chips were soggy too.

Absolutely amazing Chinese food. Authentic taste, fresh ingredients and wonderful staff

รออาหารค่อนข้างนาน ทั้งๆที่มีแค่สามโต๊ะก่อนหน้าเรา ควรมีการแจ้งความคืบหน้าแก่ลูกค้า ข้าวผัดและไก่คั่วพริกเหลือรสชาติดี แต่ซุปสาหร่ายกับไข่จืดไปหน่อย ผัดหมี่ไข่เปล่าค่อนข้างเค็มไปนิด

I had a noodle dish that was very oily and had hardly any flavour. Waited over an hour for my food. Called up restaurant and they didn't speak English. Food was cold. Won't be eating here again.

Food not delivered. Never again, AVOID.

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.

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.
