    “We had a beef curry and a chicken curry they had no taste and was horribly thick and gloppy beef looked like dog meat couldn’t eat it we have meals from here most of the time but last few have been very poor quality and taste”

    “This is the best Chinese restaurant In Banbury? For sure In the UK? It’s very much up there. Having eaten lots of Chinese food in Chinatown/Chinese quarter in London/Birmingham, this is the best of the lot. Absolutely amazing. Fresh, great service, loads of choice. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
  • Jayne Marshall
    “Oh my goodness we missed this Chinese restaurant. So glad they have reopened the restaurant side. Love, love, love the sizzling dishes. And the egg fried rice is like nowhere else. We dont live in Banbury but visit often. My pure joy when we walked passed and saw the restaurant set up again (it closed and never reopened after covid). Please keep the restaurant open now. Fillet steak in black bean sauce is divine 😋”

Customer Review Summary

Generous portions are the most repeated draw, with one diner's wife loving the house special and another praising a set menu with plenty of food that comes out quickly. Close behind are specific dishes: sizzling dishes, egg fried rice that one calls like nowhere else, fillet steak in black bean sauce, a half crispy duck ready to collect in minutes, and salt and pepper chips with a satay dip. Several mention friendly staff, and one is glad the restaurant side has reopened for eating in. The complaints are specific. A regular found recent beef and chicken curries tasteless, thick and gloppy, while another described tasteless, overdone noodles and hard, oily ribs that were mostly batter and bones. Two reviewers report rude phone service, one hung up on during a delivery order. Another received a meal with onion despite asking twice for none, and a replacement was agreed only after two calls, by which time the rest of the order had gone cold.
