Must try No.1 appetizers, they are mixture of popular asian food. The atmosphere and service is amazing. Thank you so much.

Quality over quantity! The best duck pancakes you will have for a long time. At first you will think you haven't got a lot, but once you've tasted it and get to the end of the meal you'll know it was just right. This is a propa meal out, not a two Bob job, they even have the Chinese music playing. Staff are great, good atmosphere. Overall nice meal to get away from the kids.

I would not go anywhere else for Chinese food in the area. Always 10/10 food - never been sold a bad dish. Most friendly staff too!

I visited with my partner before a flight and it was one of the best Chinese meals we have ever had. The food came quickly, tasted amazing and the service was great. The restaurant is lovely. Unfortunately we don’t live close otherwise we would be visiting regularly .. they even made us dishes that are not on the menu as we requested them! Thank you and we will now book all of our flights from Stansted in the future so that we can return!!

Really enjoyed the food here, great customer service and affordably good prices. To the reviewer below who gave 2 stars - who goes to a Chinese restaurant to order BBQ SAUCE only to be disappointed that they don't serve it! In my 38 years of being a Chinese person I have never had "Chinese" BBQ sauce...

This is the best Chinese in the UK - I make an effort to visit at any opportunity. From the service and effort the team make to ensure you’re welcome and looked after to the variety of dishes. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Had a lovely dinner at Crimson 8! The ambience was cozy and the owner and staff were super friendly. We felt so welcomed. Our meal began with huge spare ribs. They were succulent and flavourful. The wasabi/garlic prawns were so sweet, fresh and amazing. Enjoyed the burst of wasabi inside. The chicken satay was tender yet crispy on the outside. The satay sauce was lovely but a little more heat would be perfect. Would definitely come back again!

Delicious good clean Chinese restaurant. Worth the visit if you're staying to fly out from Stansted Airport. Can't wait to go back. If it's not on the menu ask because they have it. Friendly staff.
