About China Red
China Red is a restaurant at 39 Briggate in Shipley, and it takes walk-ins rather than reservations. The menu includes chicken and cashew nuts, honey roast pork and chicken balls served with chips and sweet and sour sauce. Chips and gravy is on offer too, with peas as an add-on to the gravy. Takeaway orders come with a free bag of mini spring rolls. Anyone collecting an order should bring cash, since payment on collection is cash only.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken and cashew nuts comes up most, though mostly as a complaint: two reviewers say the dish arrived with barely any cashews, one counting seven halves on top, while another still enjoyed the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and baby corn in it. Praise centers on the chicken balls with chips and sweet and sour sauce, called out of this world by one diner, along with noodles, chicken noodle soup and food that arrives piping hot. A delivery driver is described as friendly, and one longtime customer has ordered for ten years. Dryness is the other recurring complaint, with honey roast pork called dry and rubbery with no sauce, and chips said to seem twice-cooked. Value also draws criticism: one reviewer found only four or five king prawns and paid extra for chips, and another says adding peas to gravy raised the quote by two pounds. One reviewer reports stomach cramps for two people after different dishes. A free bag of mini spring rolls came with eight instead of the ten promised.
