The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Cherwell South East

My Chinese of choice. Love the food and always quick to deliver

February 2023. Had the Prawn Chow Mein and Pancake Rolls. The Chow Mein tasted fine but the Pancake Rolls tasted and smelt a little different from the times I've had before. After 2 hours, I was sick and fell ill to it. Unfortunate as I normally buy from here but because of this, I don't think I will again. :( Updating as I'm seeing you were hit with a low hygeine score recently. This food poisoning took me 2 weeks to recover from. You should have taken my review as a warning sign because this was the worst food poisoning I had to deal with.

Use to be lovely food, quality really gone down, seems like ingredients have been changed to cheaper and the amout of meat in dishes not nice. Use to be pork pieces, not pork mince in the sweet and sour pork balls, won't use again

Recently, I was very fortunate enough to be invited by the owner of The Mayflower, in Kidlington, to a Chinese Banquet in his restaurant which is currently mainly known and used as a takeaway. The food was prepared by a renowned Oxford Chef, who previously was heavily involved in The Liaison, Paddyfields and the Tong San, these were all known for serving up the most amazing Traditional, Authentic, Cantonese dishes. He is now preparing this style of food and passing on his skills at The Mayflower on a pre-arranged basis. If you are thinking of having a special meal and think that this would be of interest, please contact the restaurant to arrange a meeting, with the owners, to discuss your requirements. The attached photos show a range of dishes, which although in this case included a number of seafood items, can be altered to suit individual needs. The meal that I have highlighted would cost between £50 and £60 per head and the minimum number would be 8 but 10 is ideal.

Very good value for money and the staff always happy to help, the food is excellent, thank you good very good staff xx. Xxx

Didnt get what i ordered got a cheaper alternative whoch i dont like

Absolute rip off, portions were tiny, meat was over cooked and food was cold when delivered. Never again, worst Chinese I’ve had in Bicester.

Would be 5* as it’s mostly really good - with the sole exception of the lemon sauce which must have artificial sweeteners in it - it tastes so chemically that I couldn’t eat it. Thought it might be a one-off problem but the 2nd time it was even worse. Just won’t be able to have my favourite dish here any more.

I’ve never had a problem with this takeaway in about 20 visits over the years. Premises are basic, food is tasty. I’ve always phoned the order though then collected 20 mins later, never had to wait for long.
