Waited a long time to go to Red Diamond. WASWORTHIT. The buffet was $ 20.95 and we came on a Sat evening. Waiter was super friendly, efficient and the food actually had flavour! It only misses as a 4 star because the wonton soup was blah & lukewarm. Wonton matters lol! It was pretty busy but they got us right in. Give this place a try!

So myself and the hubby were looking for somewhere close to eat late tonight. Seeing as this was only a few blocks away we said we would give it a try. We were greeted by the very friendly owner who sat us down and made sure we didn’t want for anything. To start we had the spring rolls… Six in a portion, lovely and crispy, perfect for sharing. For the main I had the curried chicken and my other half had the manchurian beef. The chicken was lovely and spicy, nice and tender with lots of veg. The beef came out on a sizzling platter, again lovely and tender with plenty of veg. We both finished our meal extremely impressed. We also tried the berry ice cream cake for dessert which was out of this world. Perfect way to wash down the meal. Nice and light and sweet. I will definitely be going back to this place the service was next to none. Over all an extremely positive experience!

This was the nastiest buffet I have ever had the misfortune to try. Everything was loaded with so much MSG it was like eating a pile of oily salt. The vegetables were horribly overcooked and the meat was little better than dog food. The staff was rude and uncaring, ignoring whe we asked for more water.

I have been to the Red Diamond House a few times over the years, and I’ve never had anything to complain about. I went for the buffet recently and it was even better than I remember — the food was hot and regularly restocked, and there were new dishes. The honey ribs were quite fatty and the desserts were running low, but otherwise everything was delicious! Friendly staff, as always.

The last time we were here we ate off of the menu and it was really good. This time we decided to go for the buffet and were a little disappointed. Not that it wasn’t good, but eating off the menu is definitely better. I still love the place because they have a very friendly staff and food is better than most Chinese restraunts.

I have read a lot of bad reviews on this place and a few so so… And only a couple good reviews. I decided to support my local Chinese restaurant anyhow… Probably not going to go back. We ordered the lemon chicken, the beef and pea pods and the spring rolls… $ 32 to get dry, barely breaded, lukewarm chicken… Barely any beef with more than enough pea pods… And the spring rolls were unfortunately soft and bland… Quite disappointed… The servings sizes were minuscule for what the prices and to be honest it’s the first time I have ever been disappointed with lemon chicken… We were given a bitter orange sauce with it instead… Sorry to say… This place won’t be on my bookmark list.

I haven’t eaten here, but I live a few blocks away and they’re my go-to for takeout. The people who answer the phone are clear and efficient and have never gotten my order wrong. Pick up times are very quick(15 – 20 minutes) Prices are fair for the portions you get. My personal favorite is the Hot and Sour soup.

Ordered take out last night. Wanted to try a «different» Chinese place. Food was alright, found the flavours quite bland. My husband and son liked it. So no issues there. The lemon chicken was barely breaded, so kinda strange. And the sweet and sour pork was not Crispy which is my favourite thing about pork. All in all, of course it’s expensive, and I have leftovers for today. Bonus. Don’t think I’ll order here again, but maybe dinning in might be a better experience.

Its not bad. The food isn’t the greatest quality I’ve tasted or the greatest flavor. But I’ll give them credit for that everything is cooked to perfection… deep fried bits aren’t soggy doughy but not hard, vegetables still have lots of crunch but not raw, meat is also done to perfection. I don’t think I’ll make it a regular stop, but if I’m in the area and craving Chinese food…
