Haven't been to red chamber for a while. The food seemed to be going downhill. So was very please to find they seem to have turned it around. Today's meal was a welcome return to form. The chicken three ways was excellent, as were the pork chops. Excellent, fast efficient service. I'll be back again from now on.

We had our first meal at Red Chamber since they moved to new position in Hyde Park Centre. The meal was disappointing, duck was tough, kingklip was mushy and stir fried veg swimming in water. Also, all dishes lacked flavor.

This used to be one of my absolute favourite restaurants in Joburg but it has declined in the last 5 years. I even used to celebrate my birthdays here. The food has become bland and is not as well prepared as it used to be. For instance, the crispy seawood had huge lumps of uncooked sugar in it. The garlic&chilli beef was dry and tough. The Peking duck was dry but not crisp. The service is the same. I like the waiters- quick and efficient. The place could use an update, but at the same time, it isn't shabby. When I first started going to this restaurant about 10 years ago, it was always packed and you couldn't hope to get in without a reservation. I think the fact that it isn't shows that people agree with me.

Dear Emma. Your staff, floor and kitchen, have once again let you and the reputation of your establishment down. I was taken there last night as a birthday present. A great disappointment. The food was below average and the service just deteriorated over the course of the evening. This is the second time that I have experienced below average standards within a very short period of time and I feel I should make you aware of the fact that The Red Chamber is no longer a great place to go for a Chinese meal. Great pity.

We ate at the Red Chamber last night (June 2013). Very good service. Sue was our waitress. Food was excellent. Deep fried calamari with black bean and one of the prawn dishes. The calamari was better than the prawns. We ordered off the chefs recommendations. Quick service. Very attentive. Look forward to trying out some other dishes.
