This could be very personal opinion as some of my party said that the food tasted good.
I think this restaurant is good for small party and quick warm meal.
This experience left me questioning whether I was treated this way because of my race. It was truly outrageous, and I am extremely upset. I will not return, nor do I recommend this place to any other Chinese customers. As for the £9.40 rice Ho Fun—it was underwhelming, with a small portion and nothing special to note. Is business in Oxford so successful that a restaurant can afford to treat its customers with such arrogance and disrespect?？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？
Everything we ordered was good. Highlights is thr crispy duck with pancakes and salt and pepper spare ribs. Noodles and spicy rice were equally good. Portions were huge. We had a lot to take home. Very happy
The place can do with renovation though.
