First time I’m being there since it’s been changed from the original conveyer to the get up and help yourself buffet! I thing it is much better! I felt before the bowls on the conveyer were the ok big portions which filled you up and didn’t leave much room to sample all the other delicacies! The Eggboy was a great idea but needed some sprinkles of some sort to go with it! Overall a very nice meal and good service!

Although initially disappointed not to see the conveyor belt still in operation, we found the food excellent, probably better than our last visit. The range of dishes was great, something for everyone. The staff friendly and helpful, ordered us a taxi too. The house white was superb. Would thoroughly recommend China Red to friends and family.

Myself and my family had a lovely time in China Red on Friday night, it was our first time eating buffet style food, and we all love it. Staff were friendly and all helpful. We will certainly be going back and I will recommend it to friends.

Not too busy so good for getting to every food station. Pricey on Fridays and Saturdays so avoid going on these days. The plates could've been cleared away faster. The waffle guy seems very nice loves his job. Would revisit just cause he was so happy

Good selection of food but most of what was meant to be ‘hot food ‘ was almost like warm . The temperature a baby would have. Did ask a member of staff why and he said oh yeah foods rotated every 15 mins . Meaning if you want to go up and wait for 15 mins I will get hot pizza !! I did and also had a hot dog and they were both cold .

Food, staff excellent, but sesame chicken drumsticks were quite raw inside. They were removed when pointed out. Tried later but still pink inside. Be aware.!

Everything was brilliant, the food, the service, the selection... Even as we complained about the price ( wrong on website and outside the door), we got back the difference. A shame it's not a running sushi any more, but the buffet is also really good.

The new layout is lovely, even though I liked the conveyor belts! The food has improved a lot though, plenty of choice, everything was fresh, was fantastic. Still not really taking card payments even though there was a big thing on their Facebook page about it. Theyve got the machine but apparently can't get a signal. Cash machine at Asda which is just round the corner so it was fine

Excellent food. Drinks menu was good but limited in some areas. Definitely will visit again. We all especially liked the service where the staff were very present yet standing far enough off. If you needed staff for any reason they were quick and effective even if it was just clearing plates so we could get more food. I usually don't do buffets as I feel worried I'd look like return too many times for food, but there's no such feeling here. I like to just take small pieces of a few items to find my favourites that night. Great place.
