And excellent chinese restaurant featuring Shanghai cuisine, it was perfect for family dinners and birthday celebrations. A tip from me is to pre-order the pan fried buns as they get sold out quite quickly. Also not featured on the dinner menu but it's delicious and available is the Shanghaiese stir fried noodles. If you order the Peking duck, as them to make the soup for you using the duck. You won't regret it

I have been going to Red House for 7 years and it has by far submitted it's place as my favourite restaurant. Red House has very attentive service which will always come to your needs; completing any task. Even though they may not 100% always come first time. It just shows that they are always busy. Furthermore, Red House has extremely delicious food. My favourites include: secret combination fried rice, stir fry noodle (炒面), crispy roast pork, roast duck and barbecue pork. I also enjoy their tofu with mixed vegetables. Their lunch deals such as minced beef with rice and egg yolk is a classic favourite. Another lunch one is fish with corn and rice. Other great meals are king prawn with egg, various mud crabs they offer. Lastly even thought Red House has changed ownership it still stands as my favourite restaurant to eat with family and friends or when I am simply hungry: I can always look forward to a delicious meal at Red House.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Glen Waverley, East Empress has long been one of my…read morefavourite places to grab takeaway from. I rarely eat in the restaurant itself because the takeaway menu is a bit cheaper, but when I do, I am always impressed with the immaculately set out tables, the service of the waiting staff, and the presentation of the food when it arrives. The prices are fairly high when you dine in, though. That isn't to say that it isn't worth it, because it really is. Most main dishes range from $20 to $35, but you're getting real quality for that price. For me, it's a bit of a treat, the same sort of thing that makes seeing a movie in Gold Class a special occasion. As I said, takeaway is a bit cheaper. My wife and I usually grab a beef with cashews, fried rice and a few dim sims, and it works out to be a bit under $25. They're pretty quick at getting the order ready, too. We usually drive up to the shop, phone the order in, and spend the next few minutes looking for a car park. By that time, it's ready to pick up and go. Totally recommend this place to anyone.

I'm a big fan of their banquets, it's a great way to get an impressive selection of food to fill you and satisfy your taste buds. I think that east empress stands out from other suburban Chinese restaurants, is the fact that it's a spacious layout with quite a modern feel. You're not just crammed into a little room that is cheap to run! There service has always been great when eating in and their prices are very reasonable for the serving sizes. They also do take out which is still kept to a great quality and is usual very quickly ready for pick up. I highly recommend it to everyone in the area.

There is large selection of meals available and most recently I had the small roast pork plate. It was just perfection! Well cooked pork with crispy salty crackling, cut into small pieces making it easier to eat sitting on a small bed of bok choy. I almost wish there was slightly less pork bit more veg as the small size was too big for one person. The rice also needed to be ordered separately. Given the price I'm not going to complain and would make this a staple spot when I'm after a decent meal that doesn't break the bank. Highly recommended.

This means that there will be a certain spiciness to many of the dishes, as compared with the more common Cantonese, Szechuan is typically hotter. Order yourself a hotpot.

A few times, I've gone with a fairly spicy option, and although it was probably too hot for me (if I'm truly honest with myself, it was pretty much thermonuclear, heat-wise), I could not stop myself from enjoying it. The service was alright. Typical suburban Chinese restaurant. Nice atmosphere, and it can be a busy place at times. Worth a look if you're feeling adventurous.

If I had chosen the hotpot, I would have likely written a negative review because the choices looked unappealing for the price. Luckily, I went for the cooked dishes instead. A night at a Sichuan restaurant wouldn't be complete without the signature spicy fish. This came in a massive bowl with lots of soft smooth fish meat. Though it was milder than many other places, it was still delicious on a cold day. The gong bao prawns were more honey sweet with peanuts than spicy. The three cup chicken looked ordinary but was surprisingly well made. The chicken pieces were crispy, and tasted great because of the fragrant garlic with a hint of honey sweetness.

Cleanliness: The plate they served is not washed properly (first photo). And we found a black string in the spinach dish (second photo). Service: Terrible service.

Food: With higher prices than usual Chinese restaurants, chilly beef, sautéed chicken are astonishingly tasteless. And the Singapore noodles is plain. If we weren't hungry we probably wouldn't finish half of it. I'd leave 0 stars if I could. Don't come here.
