The One - Oxford

After reading reviews and traveling from the Midlands, we decided to try out this restaurant. They offer a wide variety of dishes, but unfortunately, the food was below average and lacking in flavor. I would recommend sticking to basic Chinese dishes if you decide to dine here. Overall, we were very disappointed and would not return, especially when looking for a enjoyable dining experience.

The One bar has always been known for its traditional and innovative Asian-inspired cuisine, bringing together a variety of flavors in a unique dining experience. However, our recent visit did not live up to expectations. Despite being a pricier establishment, the service was lacking, with a server who seemed disinterested and rushed. The food, while some dishes like the crispy duck stood out, was overall disappointing. The dumplings lacked flavor, the chicken was undercooked, and the staff did not seem to address our concerns. Overall, it was a disappointing evening, falling below the usual standard of The One bar. Changes need to be made to improve the dining experience.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent at this restaurant. The only downside was the lack of selection in beer, as they only had bottles of Doom Bar. Despite that, I would still highly recommend this place for lunch.

One of our regular return visits as the food is always excellent, if anything over generous portion size. Mixed choice of different dishes to our usual, including the fillet chilli beef which was lovely and tender opposite of an earlier report , all meeting their usual high standards. Only drawback was at a nearby table where an obnoxious couple were determined to create problems with the meal just to avoid paying their bill. Sad.

The service here is absolutely abysmal, unless you are a friend relative of the owner. The service is consistently terrible ... Waiting time approx 2 hours and then served with a smile if you complain, and limited English interaction. Otherwise food is thrown on the table with a snarl by the female server. Frustratingly bad. Made to feel unwelcome! The food is just not worth the wait... don't bother!
