This is SUCH a good place, my favourite of all the Asian places on the Cowley Road. It’s super tasty, fresh ingredients. I really recommend the aubergine pot (mouthwatering), the dry green beans oh my god, any the handmade noodles are like nothing else, they are so so so good. If you just order those things you will have an amazing meal, plenty for two big eaters or three smaller eaters.

Had a takeaway for the first time here. Won tons were flat pieces of batter and not much more and portions of meals small. Given sauces to go with the meals which were not even half way inside the pots so nowhere near enough to share for the actual meal. Very disappointing, won't be ordering again.

It is said that war is long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror. In this regard Hi Lo Jamaican Eating House is similar to war. But as Sun Tzu writes in the Art of War, "be where your enemy is not". At 11pm on a Friday night my enemy was certainly not there, and neither was anyone else. I was very excited to go to Hi Lo Jamaican Eating House due to the reviews posted here. They range from 1 to 5 stars but are almost entirely concentrated on those two ends. 5 star reviews will tell you it is a life changing experience where you will make friends for life and be entertained by the rambunctious proprietor. 1 star reviews warn of abuse, terrible service, and the rambunctious proprietor. On TripAdvisor several reviews flag a serious safety concern. Unfortunately on my visit I experienced none of this. Just a profoundly boring evening in a strange bar with a dead and hostile atmosphere, drinking room temperature bottled Guinness foreign export. In this regard it has failed even to fail me correctly as the 1 star reviews told me it would. Other reviews mention food but when asked they apparently don't do it anymore. The bar is silent unless you pay money in the jukebox, which paired with its emptiness just makes it kind of creepy.

I really really like fantastea, the service is fast, the drinks are tasty and the workers are really nice - when they're there. This is the third time this month I've gone in to grab a drink before getting on the bus stop outside, and there just hasn't been anyone behind the counter, despite me waiting around five minutes each time. Maybe I should be louder and shout for people in the back, but thats far too embarrassing for me to do. Maybe a bell is a good idea! If you've got time to kill waiting for someone to turn up, its a great little spot. If you're in a rush, better to try the other bubble tea places around Oxford.
