BEWARE!

The absolute worst chinese I’ve had in my entire life.

Food was gross and bland, ordered the crispy beef and there wasn’t even an ounce of meat it in, literally fried strips of batter for 12 quid.

For that kind of money, the portions were also tiny. My “beef” container was half full, of absolute garbage. The owners and cooks should be embarrassed.

Should have looked at the reviews before ordering but were really hungry.

I was hopeless of Asian food in UK after tasting itsu, shoryu, grand village imperial...

This is the best and only reall Chinese food in these 2 months I had never tasted after I moved to UK.

Judge me? I was still having Canton dishes in 1.5months ago.

I've ordered from here twice in the last week. The first time was expensive and the chicken was in a sauce that was slightly too sweet. Fine. The second time I ordered crispy beef. What I received was not crispy beef, it was deep fried batter. I actually can't tell if there's any beef in it, it's so thin. Really disappointed! I really wish I could get a refund. As most people pointed out, the place is really expensive, and I would really expect them to put in good quality beef.

One of the best Chinese places in Oxford. Everything has loads of flavour and arrives hot. Great seaweed.
