Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here, very good beautiful Char Sui pork(let down very slightly as the pineapple in the sauce didn't taste quite right)
Noodles were well seasoned and had a lovely balanced taste, bean sprouts and a nice seasoning of spring onion.
Stir fried vegetables, again not overpowered with seasoning.
The portions are generous and I came away satisfied.
Service was like clockwork, attentive and lighting fast.
I've given 5 stars with the caveat that I'd have given maybe 4.8 if I could as the experience was almost perfect let down only by the pineapple.
We visited on a Saturday evening and were glad we'd booked in advance, as they had around 70%-80% of their tables in use. Even so, service was prompt without being rushed; we asked for a break between starter and main courses and they were happy to oblige. Food was piping hot and tasted good, especially the spicy mustard chicken, which didn't taste particularly mustardy but was very nice.
This place is great for a buffet and the food is amazing (do go with a group of people to get the best out of it). We had two platters of starters, duck and pancakes, and then the mains. Only advice is go easy on the starters or you'll struggle with the mains.
Went for the lunchtime deal, well worth it, had 3 courses soups good and hot, nice mains and had the pineapple fritters to end the meal, at 1.55pm told they close at 2pm so felt a bit rushed at the end!
Good food as ever, reasonably priced (main courses and drinks for 3, Β£50).
Brilliant food, nice service, lovely atmosphere. All-round great experience.
Being Oriental i found the food was alright although the reviews i read are that food is excellent. There were quite a few dinners when i was there this May Bank holiday. I still like the free prawn crackers. What i would like to add is that i have been here twice in the last two years to collect donation money from the very generous and friendly boss towards the well being of the Oxfordshire Chinese Community and Advice Centre.
Amazing food πππππ
I would definitely love to go there again

Me and my partner absolutely love this restaurant! The all you eat buffet is very good !!! food is full of flavour good quality and cooked fresh to order we are just about to book again for tonight! Definitely 5* and highly recommended
After moving here from London I needed a great Thai place and Parasol is that place. Every time we order delivery we are so so happy with the quality of the food and the authenticity. Service is super and friendly. Delivery has always been fast and ahead of the promised time. Thank you for being here!

The food here is delicious and perfect. It is a very very little bit expensive, a couple of pounds more per dish, MAX, more expensive. However, although they offer collection/delivery, this is a Restaurant!!!
Over 25 year ago, my mother took me out for a treat (used to happen once every 3 months, at the most!), and we went to Parasol. It was my first time trying Peking Duck! Watching the man shred the crispy duck and prepare the pancakes for us was such a MAGICAL experience for me!! Peking Duck (and probably specifically hoisin sauce) has been my favourite food ever since!
I ordered some of their Peking Duck, a few days ago, and ate it at home, (watching my other half prepare his pancakes was not such a magical experience), and it is honestly just as as delicious as it was all those years ago!
Give it a try, order your favourite dish, and tell the restaurant exactly how you like it made/to taste, and they always do their best (and succeed) to make exactly what you ask for!
If you've eaten something before and you don't know what it was called, ask them and they will help you figure out what it was! (We talked for 15 minutes about it one time, I was being really pedantic so it was my fault it took so long, but I never once felt like the man I spoke to couldn't be bothered to help!
Delicious and very good price! The ambient is also very nicely decorated.
Delicious food and really attentive, friendly service.
Had a meal here and every dish was very tasty. Not a bad price, pleasant atmosphere and good location.
Highly recommended.
Been living in Abingdon for around 4 years and only recently dined at the Parasol in august. Since then had 2 takeaways as the food is absolutely amazing. Highly recommended
Agreed restaurant. The food is good and generous. We were well cared for . It is a great place to visit for a celebration. The cost was reasonable too.
