The food is pretty authentic and delicious. However, the price is a bit high and the portion is a bit small given the price. It also took 20 minutes for 2 dishes to be served even though the restaurant was not full. That was quite slow.

The Sweet & Sour Lean Pork Rice Combo ($13.99 - 802 on the menu) was exceptional. The generous portion of meat was perfectly fried and seasoned, and the taste was spot on.I also tried the Soup Dumplings (901 and 902), and they were delicious, especially with the Buy One Get One For Free promotion.The service was excellent, with a very attentive and friendly waitress.Parking: A little difficult to find parking during lunch hours.

Waiters should have the attitude of waiters. If we students don’t want to spend a lot of money, they will shame us and we won’t be able to celebrate our birthdays.

Farm Fried Pork 17.99 This amount is so disappointing. And the meat tastes hard and woody. Too disappointed. I used to use it as a canteen when I worked nearby. Later, it turned out that the boss came to eat occasionally when he went to a banquet. The taste of husband and wife's beef slices is not as good as before. The sauce given was too little. Why

Always on Point !The Red is a family and friends favourite in the Markham area and we have been going there for many years. The decor is the same as it was for the past few years and it gives the place a familiar feeling when we visit. Although I have been here many times I have yet to give The Red a review. We mainly eat here for the spicy Sichuan dishes but the staff is great and if we have little ones or people who aren't into spice they always modify their dishes to accommodate us. On this visit, we had a few of our favourite dishes such as Deep-fried diced Tofu w/Spicy Sauce, Live Lobster, assorted Dumplings and some others. The food on this visit and others was top notch with good portion sizes and priced at a good level, especially the lobster. We loved the food as always on this visit and we will be back again soon.Kid-friendliness: The Red and its staff always accommodate our children requests. One of my kids doesn't like spicy food and the kitchen staff made them a lobster dish with no spice.

The manager lady is so unfriendly and does not have any customer service mind. She stares or shows total displeasure look when asking services. Only insist on cash and no discount. Forget about using your credit card, they won't take it.

There are specific dishes I like here - cold spicy chicken, Dan Dan noodles, green beans with minced meat. Those are always delicious. I’ve tried a few others which are not my faves but I have yet to try the rest of the dishes. Be careful when eating the delicious spicy cold chicken. The chicken is cut into small pieces with sharp bone shreds everywhere. If you’re not used to eating meat with bone splinters, it can be very dangerous. Otherwise, the flavour of the sauce is deep, has many layers of spiciness, sweetness, a touch of wine maybe which makes it quite addicting.Service is quick enough even if it seems they’re under staffed.They have an iPad to show the name of the food and the photo of the dish. For non-Chinese customers, this is ideal.

It's evident that the chefs at The Red take great pride in their craft, and it shows in the quality of their dishes.One of the standout aspects of The Red is their impeccable service. The servers are not only friendly but also incredibly attentive. During our visit, they promptly noticed when our plates needed changing, going the extra mile to ensure our dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. Their rapid response to our service requests left a lasting impression.What truly sets The Red apart is their commitment to customer satisfaction. It's not just about serving great food; it's about creating a memorable dining experience.

Still has their "Buy one (pork or crab) get another XLB (pork) for free" deal! This time I was a bit smarter and ordered one crab XLB basket only, as I knew it would come with a basket of pork XLB. Kill two birds with one stone! Another item that I ordered was Ma Po Tofu. Order was done by a tablet.Pork XLB was tasty with a lot of broth inside. I appreciated their making XLB by hand (many placed don't these days!!!). However I was disappointed by the crab XLB. All the XLB had their skin torn wide and there was little to no broth inside. If this happens, I take half the mark off! The crab texture was also bit dry.I liked their Ma po tofu, this one suit my taste/preference. No crunchy peppercorns (thanks), and the finly ground Sichuan peppercorn was nicely sprinkled over the soft tofu cubes. The spice gently and delicately hits on the tongue with aroma, integrates with silky tofu and melts in the mouth. Then this addictively hot sensation strikes later. Their use of chili oil was perfect. Beautifully red and not too oily. Very enjoyable and pleasant experience!I was there weekday around lunch time. The food came very slow. Took 30mins for crab XLB to come to the table. Servers were attentive.
