Quick info
About China Red
On Cox's Lane in Mansfield, China Red is a Chinese takeaway run for collection and delivery with no seating on site. The menu covers the usual Chinese takeaway range, with sweet and sour chicken balls, chow mein and special fried rice among the options, alongside English chicken and gravy and prawn crackers. Orders are placed at the counter on a walk-in basis, and the kitchen is known for turning orders around quickly, with meals often bagged up within minutes. Delivery runs to the surrounding streets and arrival times match what is quoted online, though a wait is common at peak times. The prawn crackers arrive with each order, and regulars tend to come back for the same dishes, with king prawn chow mein a frequent repeat choice.

“We ordered sweet and sour chicken balls and chowmain, ready for collection on time, The best Chinese we have had in a long time, really enjoyed it, and the best prawn crackers I've ever had, we will definitely be using again,”

“After reading the reviews before visiting the china red in mansfield woodhouse. I had high hopes for a delicious meal. However the Chicken was awful in one meal. It didnt even look fully cooked. Curry not the best in other meal. The Meals gave me the opinion to be prepared prior to order and not cooked fresh when ordered. As when I ordered 3 individual different dishes. all the meals were ready and bagged up in literally less than 5 minutes from point of order. Very disappointing takeaway meal. I definitely won't return.”

“Horrible food,ordered a special fried rice & it eas more like half chowmein & some dried rice on the bottom. Ive never had boiled cabbage & boIled mushrooms & some kind of sauce on my special fried rice My mum order english chicken & gravy & it looked liked the cgicken was cooked 3 days ago after being beaten to death with a blunt object & the gravy was like water. Bottom line I ended up throwing 3/4 of it away...£30 for a bag of chips & a bit of fu yung.”

“We've ordered several times from China Red and always enjoyed the food, but tonight the food was more delicious than usual. We had to wait nearly 90 minutes for delivery but food arrived at the exact time they'd stated on line and was well worth the wait.”
