edea: Hello it really depends on how much you ordered? Yes Red Star is definitely still there, it’s not a dim sum buffet, you have to order ala carte, try calling them to confirm the opening hours : )

hello cindy: red star is your typical traditional restaurant, i been there since i was young. lol! they got push cart trolley to serve your dim sum, but service wise is quite poor. dim sum is all right, but after having better dim sum elsewhere, i think they are quite average

Hello embargo: yeah i agree the staff there are mostly on their age already, anyway you cant really expect fantastic services such places like red star.

wow! this weekend you going again? good for you! but why don’t try other places?

personally i prefer to try more new places instead of just frequenting one, unless they are really really good.

Hello Adriane:

Yeah, i guess its a matter of luck cos they don’t seem to have a pretty fixed route for their dim sum, sometimes i waited quite long for a particular dim sum too.

And that part about must wait for the trolley come, i encountered that too, but if you ask the manager, he will likely more probably help you “rush” the waitress to come over with the dim sum

I guess we can’t really fault them on the service side because they aren’t known for their service anyway. Its the dim-sum that draws us there in the first place right?

Regards
Brad

I was just there last weekend and don’t know if it was my bad luck or what.

This is what I encountered.

1) I was seated near the roast meats counter but for some reason my table seem to be in a dead zone The only trolleys that went past us were char siew pau, dessert and fried dumplings. After waiting for 10 minutes and still no trolley coming, I asked a waitress if I can order from her. The response was an abrupt “cannot….. you must wait for trolley to come”. In the end we just went to waylay every trolley in the other parts of the restaurant and carried it to our table. Other tables in my area did the same as no food seemed to be coming our way.

For the tea, finally I couldn’t take it anymore and walked over to a manager and asked him if he would kindly refill my teapot. And I had to do it twice… for some reason the old auntie he told to refill our tea just refused or couldn’t be bothered or was too forgetful to do it.

Overall compared my previous trips to Red Star and having grown up eating there, this was one disappointing experience and it didn’t help I was with friends who were there for the first time and wanted to try Red Star for its trolley experience.
