Oxford, Chinese Restaurant Guide

“Small space, big food!” – the winning formula behind this “great Far Eastern” venue, whose menu dexterously hops from Malaysia to Singapore and China (in a good way). It’s “very noisy and appeals to the younger crowd because of the pricing and fairly large portions”.

“Every dish we have tried is a delight”, say fans of this low-key haunt near the station, serving Cantonese, Shanghainese and Sichuan dishes. The “mezzanine floor is usually full of Chinese customers – a good sign for this well-priced, authentic, no-frills spot”.

“Your tastebuds are in for a roller-coaster ride” at this “madhouse of a venue, packed with Chinese diners” – less on account of its spartan décor than its “very strong spice combinations” and “outstanding” dishes of offal, etc (“put your concerns behind you…chitterlings are lovely!”). “There’s a lot more competition in the Chinese restaurant market nowadays, but this place still more than holds its own against the best”.
