Tried the braised beef tripe and pork intestines, nice texture and flavour.

Tofu pudding finally available in Oxford.

The lemon tea was like a beer jug, great size.

Pay digitally with the order pad using the card via the phone. Input your name which is important, so the chef can shout out to you when food's done.

The funny thing, take your finished plate, bowl, cup and utensuls to the designated washing area when you are done with the meal. Just like a school canteen. It's a cute place. Simple.

Just make sure you have your own music and headphone to make up for lack of sound.

Great taste! Staff very friendly. Portions probably more suited for ladies, so for the boys, just go large! Lemon tea also good and sizeable, pintsized.

This place is a hidden gem in Oxford! The braised pork rice was rich and flavorful, with perfectly tender meat and a delicious sauce. I also loved the braised tofu and the fresh, light pickled sides. The black sugar tofu pudding was incredibly smooth and not overly sweet. Clean, modern space with easy self-ordering too. Definitely a 5-star experience!
