The food is amazing, I've been eating at this restaurant since 2014 and I enjoy the meal every time but, the only but! Is the lavatories, they are beyond appalling. I do hope the management improves those facilities.

The very best Chinese restaurant that I have visited among a long list of Californian, British towns. The food has always delivered on taste, portions and value. I have friends who travel from London to Oxford to enjoy some of the great food served there.

The aubergine with minced pork is a must! Been many times and always satisfied! Best to order a few of the more authentic Chinese dishes and share them to enjoy the full menu variety, instead of the rice dishes or set menus. Other personal favourites: pork with rice sticks, green beans and hot and sour soup.

Shouldn't be quite on a Saturday night in Oxford. One of the few original authentic Chinese restaurants that has survived the big restaurant chains. Food prices and portions are very generous. Fast efficient and friendly service. 10 out of 10 for the food ....kids absolutely loved it.

Authentic Chinese food in the heart of Oxford. Much better than the anglicized Chinese food you find else where. Service was prompt but not the friendliest. Food was largely as expected and flavorful. Found it slightly toned down in the numb and spice department though. A good stop for those missing Chinese food while on holiday in Oxford

Hotpot was great, not sure about the rest of the menu. Spicy sip for the hotpot was a bit less spicy than at My Sechuan which was better for us. Friendly service and reasonable prices. It's been around a while and still has Chinese in its so it can't be too bad, although most were also having the hotpot too. Best to book, although it's not a requirement for the hotpot as it is at some restaurants.

Excellent and very popular Chinese restaurant in Oxford. There is a very wide menu but particular favourites include the steamed dim sum and crispy chilli beef. Table service tends to be quite brisk, not over friendly, but efficient.

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Oxford. Excellent food, professional service, affordable prices and generous portions...well worth a visit. Their dim sum is very nice and the noodle soups are to die for (I especially recommend the prawn noodle soup). I've only ever had a unsatisfactory experience once (and I've visited several times) in which the pork dish my other half ordered was cold (but he didn't say anything, so I can't comment on how they would react to complaints). Highly recommended!
