Shan Shui

Ordered the Shan Shui King Prawns Fried Rice. As we were eating, droplets starting falling onto our table. When we asked the staff, they mentioned it was the A/C and that they couldn't do anything about it. We weren't even given the option to move tables. Putting that aside, the mains wasn't too bad but slightly on the dry side and what made it taste a whole lot better is mixing it with my partners dish which was the Nasi goreng istimewa which tasted great on its own and also enhanced the San Shui King Prawn fried rice dish which definitely needed some added flavour.

We ordered for starters chicken dim sum which were incredible. Mains we ordered king prawn fried rice which was quite bland. Had to add lots of sauce to make it taste better. We also got nasi goreng which was 👌🏽👌🏽. Cooked to perfection, came with chicken skewers egg on top and nice little veg on the side. Was really good. Service was ok, we sat at a table where the AC from the top was dripping? It kept falling and splashing onto our food so we had to eat literally on edge of the table. We mentioned to the staff but just said “it’s the AC” and didn’t do anything about it.. didn’t even offer to move us. At the end we mentioned again so no one would sit there about the water drip and they again just said “it’s the AC” and nothing else.

We visited Shan Shui in Bicester Village and it was a brilliant experience. We didn't get in as soon as we arrived as the place was packed due to it being a bank holiday. We got on the digital queue and got a text when the table was ready. In short, the food is absolutely delicious, the service is great and the atmosphere is simply stunning. The menu features a wide variety of dishes and the unique thing was most of the dishes are made in a way you don't have to order much. We went for seafood and the beef along with Genmaicha tea. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the presentation was great. Pricing at Shan Shui is a bit more expensive than some other restaurants in the area, but I believe that the quality of the food and the dining experience is worth it. Highly recommend!

Needed to book a table via a QR code at the door. Wait was scheduled at 40-50 minutes but in reality closer to 20. Book early to avoid disappointment. Food was delicious. Service was fantastic especially as the restaurant was constantly busy. For a restaurant in a shopping village, it is absolutely faultless. Next time we go to Bicester Village we will have lunch here. Not the cheapest place to eat but the tastiest. Highly recommended. Went back 18 months later and the service, food and restaurant was still really good.
