We visited Shan Shui in Bicester Village and it was a brilliant experience. We didn't get in as soon as we arrived as the place was packed due to it being a bank holiday. We got on the digital queue and got a text when the table was ready. In short, the food is absolutely delicious, the service is great and the atmosphere is simply stunning.
The menu features a wide variety of dishes and the unique thing was most of the dishes are made in a way you don't have to order much. We went for seafood and the beef along with Genmaicha tea. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the presentation was great.
Pricing at Shan Shui is a bit more expensive than some other restaurants in the area, but I believe that the quality of the food and the dining experience is worth it. Highly recommend!
Amazing taste, like eating in China. The stir-fried chicken with Szechuan chili is the best,Not spicy.
If you're very hungry, I recommend making a reservation first.
Because it takes a very long time to wait.
We ordered for starters chicken dim sum which were incredible. Mains we ordered king prawn fried rice which was quite bland. Had to add lots of sauce to make it taste better. We also got nasi goreng which was 👌🏽👌🏽. Cooked to perfection, came with chicken skewers egg on top and nice little veg on the side. Was really good.
Service was ok, we sat at a table where the AC from the top was dripping? It kept falling and splashing onto our food so we had to eat literally on edge of the table. We mentioned to the staff but just said “it’s the AC” and didn’t do anything about it.. didn’t even offer to move us. At the end we mentioned again so no one would sit there about the water drip and they again just said “it’s the AC” and nothing else.
Ordered the Shan Shui King Prawns Fried Rice. As we were eating, droplets starting falling onto our table. When we asked the staff, they mentioned it was the A/C and that they couldn't do anything about it. We weren't even given the option to move tables. Putting that aside, the mains wasn't too bad but slightly on the dry side and what made it taste a whole lot better is mixing it with my partners dish which was the Nasi goreng istimewa which tasted great on its own and also enhanced the San Shui King Prawn fried rice dish which definitely needed some added flavour.
Great food, great ambience! The food was well seasoned and my family rly loved the curry :-) the only thing was - we sat outside and the heater was turned on and was slightly too hot even though the weather was not cold.
My 3rd time there. Very good food and prices are reasonable. If you're Malaysian or Singaporean or Chinese, this place is a great antidote for home sickness!
Needed to book a table via a QR code at the door. Wait was scheduled at 40-50 minutes but in reality closer to 20. Book early to avoid disappointment.
Food was delicious.
Service was fantastic especially as the restaurant was constantly busy.
For a restaurant in a shopping village, it is absolutely faultless.
Next time we go to Bicester Village we will have lunch here.
Not the cheapest place to eat but the tastiest.
Highly recommended.
Went back 18 months later and the service, food and restaurant was still really good.
Very nice Chinese restaurant in the outlet. Obviously not a cheap choice but food quality is overall good. My Indonesia style fried rice - Nasi Goreng and veggie spring roll are all nice.
Dim sum was great as well as the spring rolls and chicken vermicelli. Good stop off after a long shopping sesh.
Came in quite late, good thing it wasn't a busy night. Service was quick and food was tasty!
First time going Bicester Village and was good to see a fully halal spot, service was quick and great, and food came out quick. Loved the Nasi goreng. Overall great meal and decently priced.
Exceptional service, scrumptious food. Would highly recommend. Reservations required via scanning the QR code at the entrance. Was afraid it would be a 30 minute wait but we were able to get a table within 5 mins. Would recommend the Nasi Goreng and the won tons. The attentive service on top of the great food is what elevated the dining experience, will definitely be dining here again. ✨
The food is incredible 😍 and the staff are great. Thanks for our lovely dinner
Lovely little gem of a restaurant, food was on point and tasty. Chicken satay was probably the best we've eaten well marinated, moist and full of flavour, nasi gorang was spicy and comforting. Dim sum was fresh and tasty. The lady serving was simply brilliant in accommodating us, and naturally very friendly. Highly recommend.
Joined the digital queue for lunch and a notification came in about 15 minutes that a table was available. Compare with other Shan Shui restaurants, its menu provided limited selection of dishes. A helpful male waiter who could speak Cantonese and Putonghua that served us.
Really lovely tasty food, been several times,never been disappointed.friendly and professional staff.looking forward to the next visit.
If you are tired of Bicester shopping all morning and need a place to recharge with good Asian food then I highly recommend Shan Shui. I didn’t expect to find excellent food in Bicester Village, so that’s why I find myself pleasantly surprised.
To start, the Shan Shui Prawn dumplings is really good. I really liked it. You should then order Chef Li’s Spring Onion Noodles and the classic Wok-Fried Ginger Beef as a main dish, but I have to warn you the serving size was pretty large. So you would have to eat for two people and make sure you’re hungry.
If you are ordering for one, I highly recommend the Nasi Goreng Istimewa. It’s really good for a single serving for one person, and again the portion size is quite good.
Finally, you can’t leave without a serving of Shan Shui Golden Lava Bao. The food here at Shan Shui is excellent and good value.
I might find myself in Bicester not for another round of shopping, but rather another round of delicious Asian dishes from Shan Shui.
