But nothing compared to Cuttlefish. They serve the best fish and chips I've ever had--no joke. On the last week of my stay, I found Cuttlefish and grabbed every friend and excuse to go back as many times as possible. Their muscle pasta is also to die for. I still crave it to this day. The restaurant itself is quaint and adorable, with tastefully themed decorations that add to the charm. If you're ever in the area, you have to check this place out. The service is great and attentive. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I opted for the full course - a starter, main, and dessert but to be honest portions are decent and only two would have been enough. The food itself was nothing short of delicious! I have never associated sardines with a luxury meal but here we go, wrapped in bacon and accompanied by a salad it was something. The rest of the meal was just as good.

While the place is a bit small, it's clean and has really good food. I had the chicken katsu curry, and there was SO much food, especially for the price. Felt amazingly full and satisfied after the meal. Can't wait for my next visit!

Ok. Now for the negatives. Wait staff appeared untrained and unsupervised. My server repeatedly ran his fingers through his hair while having a long conversation with a sushi chef, and with his back to the house. Meanwhile two four top tables were waiting. Another server was snacking behind the counter. Another violation of basic restaurant hygiene. These are fixable problems. With more hands on management this could be a great restaurant.

For northern Chinese food, this is truly a wondrous find: On the two occasions that I had dinner…read morehere, I can tell that the chef is the real deal. In Oxford, no less! Incidentally, the Chinese ideograms for the restaurant's name actually mean "Flaming/Burning Wine," which might not be the only thing on fire, if you get my drift... My dining companion and I tried a total of five dishes over the two occasions we came here for dinner. Some were dishes that were a little off the beaten path, what with the current mania in society for "healthy foods" and all, but sometimes, you've got to live a little and relish that incomparable taste of fat that makes a dish so iconic otherwise you won't ever know what you're missing! And of all of them, I wasn't disappointed in any, which is testimony to the chef's skill. It also doesn't hurt that the owners, Shuman and Teresa are very genial hosts and bring extra warmth to the already cozy atmosphere of dark colours in a very classic Chinese setting. In the appetizer category was the Mouth Watering Chicken which was a poached chicken that was covered in a sauce of fiery chili peppers with peanuts sprinkled over it. It certainly lived up to its name. This is definitely not a dish for those with wimpy tastebuds because they're likely to have them seared off as with a blowtorch. However, for those who can handle it, it'll provide a nice "glow" in both your faces and stomachs to start the meal off. The initial foray into the forbidden began with the Shanghai Sweet Soy Braised Belly Pork dish which we had with plain white rice (in the old and traditional days, only animals were fed brown rice or unthreshed rice). With its generous cuts of fat-laced pork belly covered in a thick sweet soy sauce and with the white rice to "cut" its artery-clogging richness somewhat, I was in Seventh Heaven. This was food from my childhood when the "fat is bad" mantra just didn't exist. It was oh-so-good and brought back memories of times past and of home in Singapore. We ordered the Mapo Tofu with its classic chili and meat sauce as a sort of counterbalance. It was another dish that didn't disappoint. The ground pork swimming in that beautiful spicy sauce mixed in with the usual bowl of rice just hit the right spots where it counted. The spiciness wasn't as intense as I've had at some other restaurants and this is a good thing because it's so hard to taste something when your tongue feels like it's been run over by a lidocaine steamroller! Not to mention that drooling because your lips don't work any more is so unbecoming... On another visit, we decided to just "go gangbusters" and ordered the Shanghai Sweet Soy Pork Hock which just made my day. It was one entire pork hock that had been stewed in the traditional sweet thick soy sauce which infused the entire hock rather than just its surface. Now, the tree-hugging health nuts will probably be turning up their noses in disgust but, as I said, you haven't had true Chinese food until you've tried the richer dishes at least once (and risk your doctor going apoplectic on your next visit)! Okay, it's not something to have daily or even weekly but once in a while, to quote Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street": "Greed is good!" And amen to that. Now we come to Tofu in Crabmeat Sauce: The silky tofu cooked with the divine crabmeat made for an incomparable taste sensation that also sent shivers up my spine. Singaporeans can summarize this feeling in one word, "Shiok!" In other restaurants that I've had this dish, they skimped on the crabmeat and/or even used low-quality crabmeat, which detracted from the overall taste. But not here. At Sojo, they use a well picked-through, high quality backfin crabmeat (this is one dish where jumbo lump crabmeat would not have worked) so that you don't end up with crab shell or cartilage in your teeth nor is there a fishy flavor. Despite its reddish colouring, it has no chilli of any sort in it whatsoever, so rejoice all ye who have wimpy tastebuds or sensitive gastrointestinal systems! This is a restaurant that I am dying to return to so that I can wander through its menu searching for another "hit" of nirvanic bliss on each visit. Since I happen to live on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, I'm sure that Sir Richard Branson will be more than happy to have me add to his already bulging coffers and perhaps Virgin Galactic. Assuming his pilots park their cars on time for a change and we don't miss our departure slot again: Nothing is quite so ludicrous as hearing your flight is delayed because your pilot is looking for a parking spot for his car...it was like being stuck in an episode of Mr. Bean!

The front door is interesting an has an interesting history with the building dating back to 1637. I was greeted when I walked upstairs and given a menu. I ordered Veggie Spring Rolls (Popia Tod), the Tom Ka with chicken and Pad See-Ew Noodles with chicken. It didn't take long to get my order and it was all still hot when I arrived back at my hotel. They also wrap it all quite tight so nothing spills out. The Spring Rolls weren't what I was expecting. I thought they were going to be fresh spring rolls but they are fried; it does say on the menu but I didn't read that part. It came with a plum sauce but would have been nicer with some hot mustard. Unfortunately, they do not do fresh spring rolls. The Tom Ka soup was quite good. It's a bit heavier than most Tom Ka soups I've had and I would have preferred it to be a bit spicy. The Pad See-Ew was fantastic. They serve a very generous portion and it's just delicious! And like the soup, it would be nice if it was a little spicy. I'm sure they can make it spicy if you ask them and I wish I would have asked. The food is very fresh and delicious and I would absolutely come back here.
