About Zheng Oxford

Zheng Oxford is where authentic Chinese culinary traditions flourish in the heart of England's most scholarly city, bringing the fiery passion of Sichuan cooking and the refined elegance of Cantonese cuisine to discerning Oxford diners. Walking into this St Aldates establishment, you're immediately struck by the authenticity—this isn't fusion or adaptation, but the real thing, prepared by chefs who understand that true Chinese cooking requires patience, skill, and an unwavering respect for tradition. The hand-pulled noodles are made fresh throughout the day, each strand a testament to centuries of technique, while the Sichuan dishes arrive with the kind of complex heat that builds slowly on your palate, revealing layers of flavor that most Western interpretations never achieve. The mapo tofu delivers that perfect balance of silky texture and tingling spice that defines great Sichuan cooking, while the Cantonese dim sum represents the more delicate side of Chinese cuisine, with each dumpling crafted with precision and care.
