“ Date night with my wife on a rainy quiet Tuesday evening and so we tried Parasol. Staff were lovely and friendly, and food was really tasty. We went for the buffet and have waddled out stuffed on sesame prawn toast, spare ribs, Peking duck, sweet and sour chicken and vegetable fried rice to name just a few. We will definitely return as there's still a lot on the menu I want to try! ”
“ Absolutely amazing could not fault the service, food and overall atmosphere went with my wife, children and her family and they could not be more accommodating especially to my two children. They made the visit by bringing them both our a strawberry ice-cream with all the trimmings without us ordering it. All you can eat menu was fantastic. ”
“ We visited for the first time on Wednesday and we was absolutely chuffed! The staff were friendly and attentive, the place was clean including the carpet and toilets and the food was hot and delicious! Really looking forward to going back. ”
“ Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here, very good beautiful Char Sui pork(let down very slightly as the pineapple in the sauce didn't taste quite right) Noodles were well seasoned and had a lovely balanced taste, bean sprouts and a nice seasoning of spring onion. Stir fried vegetables, again not overpowered with seasoning. The portions are generous and I came away satisfied. Service was like clockwork, attentive and lighting fast. I've given 5 stars with the caveat that I'd have given maybe 4.8 if I could as the experience was almost perfect let down only by the pineapple. ”
“ Really pleased to have found this gem whilst travelling with work. The food was excellent, tasty and well presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, they were also very helpful in their recommendations on what to order. I would certainly come again when in the area, thank you! ”
“ Being Oriental i found the food was alright although the reviews i read are that food is excellent. There were quite a few dinners when i was there this May Bank holiday. I still like the free prawn crackers. What i would like to add is that i have been here twice in the last two years to collect donation money from the very generous and friendly boss towards the well being of the Oxfordshire Chinese Community and Advice Centre. ”
“ We booked a table for 4 on new year's eve, it was very busy but we couldn't have asked for more. The atmosphere was spot on and the staff were great, prompt, polite and very good at explaining the menu. We all had the all you can eat buffet washed down with some very nice wine. After the fourth plate of starters we moved to the main course. Amazing food I have to recommend the aromatic duck and the Thai red curry, also so much else I just can't remember the names. If you are looking for a good Chinese/Thai dinning experience then I can highly recommend you book a table. ”
“ Great food, great service, highly recommended. ”
