Details
Tucked away on Ship Street, Tse Noodles offers a taste of authentic Chinese cuisine, a cherished local secret with over 45 years of culinary history. Regulars and visitors alike queue for their prawn wanton dumpling noodle soup, a dish celebrated for its delicious broth and generous helping of noodles – a perfect remedy for a chilly Oxford day. The lively, street-food style atmosphere contributes to its charm, though be prepared for a cosy experience as space can be limited in this popular, tiny restaurant. Remember to bring cash, as this is a cash-only establishment, adding to its traditional, no-nonsense appeal.
The menu extends beyond just noodle soups, featuring delights like aromatic beef noodles, Sichuan spicy pork dumpling noodles, and flavourful pork spareribs noodles. For those preferring rice, options such as Char Siu (BBQ Pork) rice, roast duck rice, and Mapo Tofu are available. Don't miss out on their steamed dim sum, including sweet egg yolk custard buns and BBQ pork buns. While the service is known for being quick and the food consistently praised as delicious and freshly cooked, it's worth noting that the focus here is squarely on the authentic flavours rather than extensive table service.

We thought the roasted duck rice was the star of all the dishes! Seasoning was good and it was super tasty. We also liked the sweet and sour king prawn rice - it looks and is very appetising. The spicy dishes weren’t too spicy, so it should be fine for those who can take a bit of heat.
