Amazing people, delicious food. The people are so warm hearted and friendly going there always feels like home. Must visit to experience authentic Chinese food.
If you’re looking for delicious Chinese cuisine then check out Woodstock Café in the heart of Selly Oak. We ordered Kung pow chicken and you could really taste the vinegar. It wasn’t too overpowering though. It was a good balance of flavours. We also had the basa fish dish full of Szechwan flavours. The fish was perfectly cooked, really meaty and moist. The dish wasn’t too spicy even though there were lots of chillis in the sauce but I experienced a delightful numbing sensation on my lips which I was informed by my fellow diner was from the peppercorns. These two dishes were all we ordered between us (approx £8 each) but each came with a side of stir fried vegetables, fluffy white rice and a tomato and chicken soup. It was a feast! We were told if we ran out of these sides we could ask for more. I was tempted to, but I was too full! I really recommend this café and I will certainly like to return to try the other dishes. You can currently eat in at a small number of tables but the café is mainly for takeaway. The decor inside is simple and no frills, (your food is served in takeaway containers even if you eat in) but you’re not going there for the surroundings or crockery, you’re there for the amazing food and hospitality.
I was so surprised about the quality of the food, £12 for a 3 meat dishes meal and plus unlimited soup, rice and stir fried veg, I have to give 5 stars and I will definitely go back.
