Probably the best Chinese restaurant in Oxford. I go here almost every single day while my parents are here. Please try it and you won’t regret it.

I oredered hand pulled noodles , with egg and tomatoes sauce.
The noodles is fresh and nice but the sauce is less flavourful. I need to add more oyster sauce and fried garlic to make it nicer
Affordable price.

The soups you cooked your own meat in was either tasteless or to spicy.

Not the usual standard Chinese restaurant. All dishes, especially the hand-pulled noodles were delicous! But even though the restaurant wasn't half full the service was quite slow and not very friendly.
