Been eyeing this place since I got to Oxford. Glad I made it over.
Had to wait outside for 15-20 minutes for my order because they were busy and there was no space inside. The two things I ordered, the custard buns and the Sichuan pork dumpling noodles, both came out hot.
Noodles and broth were both really, really good. I don't know what it was about them (five-spice? fish sauce??), but I could've eaten another bowl on taste alone. In contrast, I didn't like the pork dumplings very much, and could've done without them. Spice level is enough to make your nose run but never overwhelms the taste of the food.
Disappointed I only got two custard buns, but they were the definitely the sweet ending I needed.
Overall, it was great! Nice little shop! They accept cash only. The rice dishes weren’t available but really nice noodle dishes. I felt all the dishes were seasoned well and it was little spicy.
Do yourself a favour and either get the aromatic beef noodles (non spicy) or the chongqing spicy beef noodles (medium-very spicy). £10 a bowl (be aware cash only) and incredibly tasty.
Nice selection of dim sum too (e.g. BBQ pork buns). You will have no regrets and I have been here at least 3 times now, and get the noodles every time. They also don't use any peanut products which is excellent (peanut allergy here).
