My parents are from Hong Kong and I grew up in an asian hub in Canada so naturally, moving across the pond made me really miss our Chinese restaurants at home.

My husband and I decided to come for lunch today and it did not disappoint. Qin Noodle hits really close to home. The beef was tender and flavourful. Broth so good to drink all of, especially on a rainy day. The pork wontons were delicious and this will definitely be a go to spot for us.

Just a note for anyone who comes during busier times that there was just one cook who was also managing everything else (he is very hard working and kind), so you may need to seat yourself and grab a menu from the table up front yourself. :)

We waited over 40 minutes for food (!) and it was very average at best. Don't understand the high ratings here given by others... I very rarely give such negative reviews but unfortunately this was a very disappointing experience.

I had the pleasure of dining here with some friends last week, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It offers an entirely authentic Asian noodle experience, with no unnecessary frills or embellishments. A truly wonderful spot—definitely worth a visit. Don’t miss it, you won’t be disappointed.

One of the best noodles I’ve had in my years of being in the UK. It tasted exactly like what I’d find in Asia. 1000% recommend this place for a hearty soup dish. The chef/owner was also super friendly!

We stumbled upon this place whilst exploring Oxford. Went in for a quick bite for lunch, super tasty and satisfying food! I had the won ton noodle soup and my husband had the spicy pork rib noodle soup, then we ordered a portion of siu mai to share. All super yummy and you can tell the dumplings and won tons were home made. Also had a lovely chat with the nice uncle who works there, super hard working and good service. Reasonably priced and nice ambience, definitely recommend!
