Mid-priced Chinese restaurant. Quite small, with a pleasant cosy (the uncharitable might say slightly cramped!) atmosphere.

I first came here for dinner with a Chinese friend: she seemed quite impressed by the food, and was surprised by how authentic it was. I thought it was pretty good too!

The real treat, however, was my second visit here, for a Sunday dim sum brunch. For less than £10 each, we were able to sample a wide variety of sweet and savoury Chinese snacks, along with apparently limitless quantities of tea. We left, completely stuffed, after a solid two hours of eating. The chicken feet are not to be missed, however peculiar they might sound. My advice would be to skip the squid and pig skin, though...

I used to visit here regularly, as the food is possibly the best chinese food in Oxford. I have been a little put off since the Health Inspectors fined it £17,000 (as reported in the Oxford Mail).
