The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Cherwell South East

Pleasantly surprised by this place having seen the mixed reviews.. We were welcomed warmly and shown to a little tucked away table (the way the restaurant is divided makes it feel more intimate and separate from the bar). Ordered food which was delicious and cocktails which were also surprisingly good. Highlight was our server - an older gentleman with a delightful manner and great sense of humour. Will definitely be back.

Good food and pleasant counter staff.

We tried some other Chinese takeaways in Bicester but simply put Kent Hon is the best. Prices reasonable, shop clean , portion sizes good and very tasty. We recommend the Szechuan chicken

So cheap and tasted the same as when I was a little girl

Quality takeaway for a very reasonable price. The staff are always friendly. Highly recommend.

This Chinese is the best! Me and my grandad always get it, they always have the best chicken chow mein and they always make it with the skinny noodles especially for me, the food is always hot and has good portion sizes, it also doesnt take long for them to make and it is 100% my favourite chinese ever!

Ordered from here several times. Very fast delivery, and great food.

We decided to visit Shan Shui during a shopping trip to Bicester Village to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Instead of our usual grab-and-go from Pret, we thought we’d enjoy a nice sit-down meal given the occasion. Since the restaurant has been around for years and we’re big fans of Chinese cuisine, we thought it would be a great choice. Unfortunately, we were very wrong. We ordered a few starters and some dim sum, and the food was absolutely terrible. My wife actually had to spit out the chicken dim sum because it was so bad, something we’ve never had to do at any Chinese restaurant before. The taste was awful, and it left us questioning how Bicester Village could allow such a poor-quality restaurant to occupy such a prime location, especially in a shopping centre with limited dining options. We ended up returning the food and leaving without ordering anything else, as we didn’t want to let the bad experience ruin my wife’s birthday further. We didn’t even complain because it was meant to be a special day, but I wouldn’t recommend anyone waste their time or money here. We’ll stick to Pret or Itsu next time, and I strongly advise everyone to do the same.

It annoys me to have to leave this review as this restaurant used to be so good but it has gone down hill rapidly within the past 6 months. Too many times have things been missed off our order, with us only realising once back at home. The food is now mediocre at best with poor quality meat being used and varying amounts depending on which day of the week you order. Be prepared to have your order accepted by the restaurant and receiving a pick up time, but when you arrive you can bet it won’t even of been started. This is not the first time - yet the silly excuses come pouring out again and again. If you are looking for a reliable Chinese restaurant with top quality food, this is no longer the one to go for. I hope they sort it out and get back on track, but until they do I would avoid at all costs to avoid disappointment and wasting your money. Also £6.90 for crispy seaweed… come on!

The food was amazing served hot and quickly however staff were unfriendly and rude and ignored my friend when asking for another drink will unlikely visit again but if I do hopefully it’s a more enjoyable experience

We have used this Chinese for a few years but haven't been during Winter 23/24. On getting our takeaway home it was obvious that portions have got much smaller ( sign of the times). My vegetables in black bean sauce had hardly any sauce and it was bland and tasteless. My husband's meal beef and green peppers in black bean sauce was similarly bland tasteless. Such a shame. We won't be using Sun Wah again

The atmosphere is good. Dine-in is a good choice and takeaway is not recommended as the sushi/sashimi is made upon receiving order and best to be eaten after they are served. Since they are not prepared in advance, the freshness will be compromised for takeaway order. Be prepared to wait as great food needs time to prepare. Worth the wait. The other foods on the menu are equally tasty. Must try them yourself. Great value for money.

First time using this take away, very tasty warm in time food ! Thanks

Always enjoy eating from here, quick service, but most of all, the best food near the cross

AVOID AT ALL COST!!! We have 5 people in our household all food poisoned. If you are going to order anyway please for your own sake don’t get the chicken curry or chicken chowmein, will be taking my business elsewhere,
