An Absolute 10/10 Experience!
Authentic Flavors and Flawless Service
We recently visited this fantastic Chinese restaurant and were blown away by the quality of the food and the exceptional service. It was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish.
The spring rolls were absolutely spot-on: incredibly crunchy, perfectly seasoned (not too salty), and packed with great flavor. The dumplings were fresh and tasted wonderfully authentic. The bao buns were served piping hot and were soft and savory
We ended the meal with the Mango Ice Cream Mochi, which was a cool, sweet, and excellent final treat.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere was a major highlight. The ambiance is aesthetic and clean, providing a comfortable and stylish dining environment. Most importantly, the staff is highly approachable and friendly, attending to our every request quickly and efficiently.
Overall Impression: This restaurant easily earns a perfect 10/10 rating. We will definitely be coming back.

We visited on a Sunday around 5 PM and had about an hour’s wait to be seated. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which made the wait easier.

The food arrived quickly — within about 10 minutes of ordering. The starters were the highlight: the chicken popcorn was crispy and well-seasoned, and the chicken dumplings were well presented and delicious.

However, the mains were a bit disappointing. The spring onion prawn noodles were extremely dry and very lumpy, and the beef stir fry with oyster sauce became overly chewy, which made it less enjoyable.

Overall the starters were good however the mains weren’t the best but maybe we ordered the wrong things. Enjoyed the experience overall however will not be coming back.

Also - everything is halal!

Scrumptious HALAL food! Was blown away by the food on offer. After a long day of walking around Bicester village this was the best!! Service was excellent and everything from starters to mains were top notch. Asked the manager for his suggestions and it did not disappoint. (Only thing I’d swap next time is the Black Pepper Beef as it was a bit too peppery)

Also had a discount when you become a member of Bicester (which is free!).

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and they did an excellent job.
The drinks and starters were good however the mains were not worth the price and taste.

Had a quick meal here, clean tidy place. Menu is good with many choices, food came out quite fast and was tasty!  Good friendly service

All meat on our menu is halal. Alcohol served.
