Red Star Restaurant - Singapore    Share

Food cart are geting slower and slower and food taste not as good as before

Old school Cantonese restaurant that has been here for easily 40 years! Some people may say the food standard has dropped, but I think it is still good. Popular dishes like stuffed yam ring and crispy roasted chicken are still delicious. Also, they serve dim sum early in the morning.

You cannot make reservation for this place. Better head down earlier to join the queue. Food is decent. Some were good some were alright. Very old school place where they push cart to your table and you pick what there's available.

1. Bad service 2. Long waiting time (not the queue but more of needing to wait after you have sat on the table already) 3. Bad hygiene Service to be honest is really bad, like the dim sum cart was just at the centre, they ignored the front and back tables. My family went and we had to wait for 1 and a half hours, just to wait for a cart to get near our table. This is not even exaggerating but we even repeatedly request for carts to also be coming to the other tables and not stick to just 2-3 tables. Eventually after the 1.5 hrs we gave up and queue in the middle of the restaurant beside the tables where the cart is just staying within the area. We went to queue only after we saw another table who had waited so long to get serve went straight to the cart to collect food instead. Then formed a hideous queue, which makes me wonder if this restaurant even has arranged sufficient service crew staffs. The way the staff handles the hygiene is disastrous too. The person who served the mayonnaise/salad sauce ended up putting her thumb into the sauce and there was a lot of stamp ink on her thumb already. She went on to attempt to dig out the blue ink infront of my family, which made the sauce even more blue. :')

A little pricey, but the steamed dim sum is pretty delicious as they are very well seasoned. We tried their roast duck as well. It was not warm, but still tasty. The only dish we didn't like was the chicken foot:- the sauce was very starchy, and the foot was cut into half to make it look like 2 feet. S$4.70 for a chicken foot with overly starchy sauce is just a no for us. Cutting a star from our rating for its worse than average chicken foot and some unfriendly servers from certain carts. Some of them rolled their eyes at us because we didn't want anything from their cart. But overall, food is good.
