😠 Don’t ignore the poor reviews! If I could give no stars I really would. Ordered a delivery on a Monday night and what was delivered was absolutely disgraceful. The prawn toast and spring rolls were drenched in oil and burnt, the salt and pepper squid was microwaved and tasted like rubber again sat...

    Don’t ignore the poor reviews! If I could give no stars I really would. Ordered a delivery on a Monday night and what was delivered was absolutely disgraceful. The prawn toast and spring rolls were drenched in oil and burnt, the salt and pepper squid was microwaved and tasted like rubber again saturated in oil. The dishes were small portions even though we had paid for large, to add insult to injury the woman I spoke to on the phone was so rude and obnoxious and refused to give a full refund, but after numerous discussions and arguments eventually we got a refund. Serious concerns on their delivered food standards. We have packaged up all the remaining food which is around 60% and will be returning it to the restaurant.

    The food is unbelievably lovely. I have never had a bad meal! The owner & staff are helpful and assist in choosing the right food and drinks. The atmosphere is convivial & gentle with no loud music. We Always have a great time here.

    My young daughter suffers from gluten intolerance and this place offers the best Chinese gluten free food and excellent customer service. We were so pleased and will be back again hopefully soon. Highly recommend.

    I have not used this Chinese before. I was passing by and thought I would give it a go as i wanted a take away. The service from the ladies was very polite. The food arrived quickly was hot and was very nice. We had a cheeky beer whilst we waited which was cold. Overall a good experience.

    Great selection of food and friendly staff. Food tasted good only downside was another group with highly distasteful conversation but that's no fault of the restaurant would definitely recommend 😃

    Great buffet, reasonably priced. About £30-40pp with drinks. Can order upto 6 dishes at a time (to help reduce wasteage) portions reasonable and tasty. Good selection of dishes. Hot and sour soup was not on the buffet menu but was available on request. Would both recommend and visit again.

    First time here on Saturday and wasn't disappointed. Take no notice of the out dated decor, because the food makes up for it tenfold. Squid and duck highly recommended, will definitely be back again

    Disappointing, seems to have gone downhill since moving premises. The food is fine but slightly worse quality than that of the take-aways close by, but 30% more expensive. They even illegally charge for tap water with the defence that "water is expensive". Sadly will not be returning.

    Was looking for some local and good Chinese food and this popped up on Google maps. Overall food was good quality. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Free local parking after 6:30.

    Gluten free heaven. First Chinese meal Ive ever had in a restaurant, it was so exciting. Reasonable prices too!

    Brilliant and fast service, a little crowded and so very warm, but all in all very good

    We paid approximately £25 each for an all you can eat menu. You get a checklist and basically tick off items which are split into courses. The portions are small so don't worry if you think you're going to get served main-sized portions. Beware though that unfinished dishes will be charged at a la carte prices. Would not recommend the vegetarian Singapore noodles but the crispy duck was great.

    Buffet is expensive at £25 each if you're not a massive eater. Food was nice, service was good. Not sure if I'd go back.

    Got a collection takeaway. Very prompt and friendly phone order, food was ready on time. Fairly small portions that did not fill the containers (apart from the rice). The chicken chow mein was excellent, sweet and sour chicken was good as were the spare ribs but the beef in black bean sauce was poor. The quality of beef was questionable as it had a very strange texture that I cannot describe and as a result we left it. It was our first experience of Red Bamboo, we will try it again and will be happy to change the review should our experience be improved.

    Food was alright, but place was small and very tight, service wasn't very that friendly

  • 5/5 Chris B. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent Chinese restaurant serving great variety of tasty food at reasonable prices. Helpful, friendly efficient staff giving prompt service. Was full on the Friday we attended so would recommend booking to ensure availability. Very good menu with lots of dishes at a set price for as much as you can eat with the proviso that any food you don't eat is charged at the main menu rate plus 10 percent.

    Great Chinese food! Loved it, my family ( including extended ) ordered for all 6 of us and the food was delicious. Went down as a treat and was lovely. Would totally recommend.

  • 5/5 Ian G. 1 year ago on Google
    Really enjoyed this. Went for the buffet option and was advised on the number of dishes per setting. If anything this was still too much as rolled out an hour or so later. Good quality food matched by service. Got busy as we left so booking ahead might be advised.
