Oxy Oriental located next to the Kassam Stadium is somewhere I have been told repeatedly to try, due to its spectacular reputation for phenomenal food; and finally, tonight was to be the night where I ventured into this highly popular restaurant and tasted it for myself. But would it be as good as I expected??
Yes, is the answer! Upon arrival, a friendly face greeted me at the entrance and escorted my guest and I to our table. We arrived very early due to our excitement. Although we were there at a time that we would have thought as being quiet, there was still a huge number of tables taken up, creating a buzzing atmosphere throughout the restaurant.
As you approach the buffet area, you are greeted with a beautifully presented oriental spread ranging from Sushi, and other traditional dishes together with a wide selection of Teppan-Yaki dishes for which you get to choose the raw ingredients and the chef cooks it before you in a flash – literally!
The Oxy Oriental Buffet/Banquet offers a wide range of scrumptious delicacies from which you can refill your plate to your heart’s content. The polite and courteous staff are well informed about the menu and are always on hand to talk you through the variety of dishes that they have available. Lau, the manager, was particularly encouraging when it came to recommending the different dishes, my favourite dish however, was the sweet and sour chicken but my guest just could not get enough of the duck pancakes.....a popular favourite for most, it appeared, on the night.
Like many buffets, many of us assume the food is going to be cold and far from fresh. However, not at Oxy Oriental. The dishes are constantly being replenished to meet demand, so it’s always hot and, more importantly, fresh. This certainly tells in the mouth wateringly beautiful food.
In case you still have room (many people don’t) to polish off some dessert, then you may have a difficult choice as they have a huge variety to get your teeth stuck into ranging from traditional puddings to the delectable soft ice creams to keep the kids happy.
The Oxy Oriental also boasts a wide selection of drinks to complement all palettes and tastes. If you’re in a hurry, why not try Oxy’s fast and efficient take away service? To top it all, the Loyalty Cards with various discounts keep you coming back for more.
Located just three miles from the City Centre, the free parking makes this the perfect venue in many ways.
A quick buffet lunch costs £6.10 and £7.10 on a Sunday and an evening meal with friends is £12.95 or £13.95 on Friday and Saturday, and large party bookings are taken for up to 180.
Altogether, Oxy Oriental definitely lived up to my expectations, so if you fancy fantastic service and sensational food why not make a visit? I can’t wait to plan my next trip! |
