Red Star is good for a quick or impromptu meal. Food is cooked to order and is very tasty.

Typical oriental interior - with objects on the shelfs next to the tables that leave you with a feeling of … “why?”...

The staff are very friendly and prices good.

Enjoy!

This place is great but it is ALWAYS busy meaning sometimes there is no table or at least you need to wait for one. But this is also a good think as its a sign of being popular! Me and my pals have eaten here time and time again. It is quick and easy.
The staff are nice and friendly enough, the place is clean and the food is good. Very authentic.
My favourite is sweet and sour and the noodles are to die for. They taste so fresh and eggy.
Really good - though perhaps not for a proper sit down meal.

I love this place, mainly for the noodles, but also because it's a fun place to go with friends--lots of food for a small price, cosy atmosphere, friendly waitstaff and huge variety! The Bento boxes are especially good value, but I'd also recommend the dumplings, fried noodles, and egg fried rice (everything VEG, of course). The place is a lot like Wagamama, but not as commercial, much smaller, and a little more down-to-earth. It's great to sit in, but I admit that I was probably one of their most regular take-away customers, along with my roommate. And did I mention that they're VERY quick??? I think Red Star is especially appealing to the student crowds who live on Cowley but it's fun for EVERYONE! If you want the style of Wagamama with a little less hype, then this could be the ideal place for you!

In a place as multi cultural as cowley road, there is a fantastic variety of Chinese and oriental food. Therefore giving a stand out review to the red star is truly saying something. This noodle bar has a great atmosphere right in the heart of colwey and if empty seats is a negative indication of quality then the red star is top, as i have never seen it more than 1/5h empty.
Specialising in Chinese and South East Asian cuisine, it is easy on the wallet and great for large portions.
REVIEW IN ONE LINE: Red star is 4 star
