Red Chilli Qingdao Restaurant — Restaurant in Trafford

I came in a couple of days ago with the misses & the little ones. We got screwed over by another restaurant ignoring our booking. We called here & they fit us in last minute. Big thanks for that.

To start, the host was genuinely one of the best I've ever seen. He was hilarious, kind & really acommodating. He even entertained the boys by offering them a job cleaning the fishes teeth.

On to the sevice & food. The wait staff were fantastic, however, I could see they were a bit flustered & even apologised for the wait. It was not a problem for us, nor was it even that long of a wait, rather normal I would say. I imagine the big table of Karens sat behind us messed with their flow but I'll discuss them a little later.

The food was on point, I really need to know your rice cooking method, it was the best I've ever tried, it wasn't in the flavour but the method. Sauces were great, meats amazing, selection & price were very satisfying. I don't eat much but I devoured everything.

I work as a Head Chef & I would love to bring everyone from my place to experience how a great restaurant operates.

The Karens on the big table behind us. I want to apologise on behalf of humanity for their disgusting behaviour, absolutely awful people, swearing loudly, chastising the staff, having zero consideration for any one but themselves. I hope you read this and humble yourself. Get in a kitchen or on the floor before you start mouthing off, you wouldn't survive an hour before begging to go back to your useless HR manager job. You're not special Karen, you're irritating.

Big thanks again guys, great job. Readers, stop reading these...

To start our meal, we ordered the Prawn Dumplings, and they set the bar incredibly high. These delicate parcels of joy were bursting with succulent prawns and enveloped in perfectly translucent wrappers. The dipping sauce provided a harmonious balance of sweet and savory, making for an ideal appetizer.

Next up was the Chicken Chow Mein, a classic favorite that did not disappoint. The noodles were cooked to perfection, with a satisfying chewiness, and they were generously loaded with tender slices of chicken and crisp, colorful vegetables. The sauce was both flavorful and well-balanced, enhancing the overall experience.

The Cantonese Duck was the highlight of our meal. The skin was impeccably crispy, and the meat underneath was incredibly tender and full of flavor. Each bite was a delightful symphony of textures and tastes. T

Moving on to the King Prawn with Garlic and Mushroom, I was blown away by the boldness of flavors in this dish. The prawns were enormous, perfectly cooked, and bathed in a garlic sauce that was nothing short of heavenly. The garlic-infused oil was aromatic and infused every bite with a rich, savory essence.

Throughout our dining experience, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure that we had a...

Trio of pork-9/10 👌 -cold meat but tasty maybe ask for it hot or your meant to have it cold🤔 nice crunch and fat mmmmm cooked perfectly #crunch

Duck stuffed with prawns 9.4/10👌- side note the white sauce on top is egg white sauce and was amazing, even rang after as I had no idea what is was sauce 10/10

Prawn toast #essential/priceless flavour 8.5/10

Chicken satay 8.3/10 - not ordered for me, but had one chicken skewer, was moist, and lots of sauce and good size, as sometimes you get a thins strip so although i dont like peanut flavour my friend loved it.

Prawn and Pork Dumplings 8/10 - solid big flavour, not over cooked, simple but effective 😯 also generous size

As a whole service on a arrival was great and polite, got my order, quick payment, they said 40 minutes for collection I rang up after 35 minutes to confirm it would still be ready on time (as I hate waiting when they get the timing wrong #aintnobodygottimeforthat) as a full review simply couldn't recommend it enough first visit...
