Really great food. Lots of gluten free options and nice servers. Liked the observatory. We were in Oxford 6 nights and came here thrice.

Fantastic restaurant placed in a very convenient location. The place is also very easy on the eye, especially at night. The food is delicious, very well presented and reasonably priced. Staff is super helpful and lovely, and the management is always smiley and welcoming.

"Probably the best Chinese food in Oxford. Mr. Gary, the owner is a great salesman. Oysters in black bean sauce and duck is not to be missed." Amazing wine collection. And if you are looking for even better wines, ask for Mr. Sami's collection.

Still the best Chinese in the Oxford Summertown area. The longstanding chef is as deft as ever. Service and atmosphere are also great at this gem of a restaurant.

Amazing gluten free Chinese food!! For the first time in my life as a coeliac, I managed to get gluten free Chinese takeaway and it was soo delicious! The takeaway menu has a star next to all the dishes that could be made gluten free and there was a huge selection! When we were given the order in the takeaway boxes, we were shown that all the gluten free dishes had a little gluten free sticker to distinguish them from the standard versions which I really appreciated. Staff were lovely and the restaurant itself has a great atmosphere so would love to eat in next time. Highly recommend!
