Red Diner — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

We went for a karaoke party and the guy showed us how to use the machine a few minutes in it turned off when we asked for help they made it seem like we were wasting their time then the microphones all died so we had to ask for new batteries and they acted the same way when more of our friends arrived they we practically pushed into the room as if they didn’t want us to be seen when we asked for water they tried to charge us five pounds went to the toilet and on my way back through was practically pushed into the room again orders some food the chicken was bleeding and the ribs were made of some mystery meat honestly wouldn’t recommend they just made it seem like they didn’t want us there and they were super unfriendly to top is all of at the end we asked if we could go take pictures upstairs all together and they said only half the group could go ( about 15 people all together) so half of us went up and the rest of us were told to wait outside in the cold with nowhere to sit honestly I would say steer clear of this place it was a horrible experience for me ( the party was ok actually but only cos we made it fun ) they also don’t sound proof the room properly so everyone could hear us singing and they kept giving us dirty looks when we came...

This is a tough one. The restaurant was filled with Asians and it seemed like there was several different dialects of Chinese being spoken which made me very excited to try it out. It's so difficult to find un-Americanized Chinese food.

Unfortunately the dishes I received bore no resemblance to what I ordered. My starter was delivered as nothing more than wonton dumplings in a light broth. I thought I ordered dumplings in a chili oil soup.

My main was fried beef with golden mushrooms. And what I received seemed to be pork in thin rice noodles with no mushrooms.

The flavors were every bit as exciting as something you would get from a China Panda.

Utter disappointed and frankly insulting. And in the world we live in now, completely unacceptable. I guess it's back to green pepper steak. Such a shame!

At least the Tsing Tao was cold.

Wave off...

Tonight was our first night eating out in New Castle. We wanted to try Chinese food. Im Chinatown, we stopped a random stranger and be said this place was his favorite.

We ordered many dishes, and they were all tasty, but what I enjoyed more, as an American on vacation, was the authentic unforced kindness of the workers at the restaurant.

They went above and beyond making myself, my 2 year old daughter (who was all over the place), and 2 other guests with us, feel welcomed.

I even askes for Beef and Broccoli, which was not on their menu, and they made it for me.

If you are looking for a great experience, please do yourself a favor and head over to Red Diner and enjoy a night out.

P. S. Bring cash to leave a tip. I regret that we did not take cash with us, just 5💷. I hope this review helps...
