Second time I have eaten there and it remains up to the mark. I ate solo, so after marinading myself in sake I had salt and pepper squid (crisp on the outside with the right give when you bite), followed by beans with salt fish and shredded duck with hoisin. They all struck me as well cooked and flavoured. It... More

Waiter suggested options to us - all fantastic and meant that we had a more authentic Chinese (Sechzuan) experience.

We have been here several times and always come away thinking how wonderful the food is and what great value! The salt and chilli squid is a great starter and then we just choose all the spicy, hot Sechuan dishes we can manage. It's a great place to go with a party of people so that you can order lots...

Went with my wife and son following his graduation.... Oxford isn't necessarily awash with great eateries, but we'd read a few reviews of Sojo in newspapers and it didn't disappoint. We'd booked for lunch, although the restaurant wasn't that crowded... The service was welcoming, friendly and attentive (but not overly-so). The food is just fantastic. Really authentically prepared dishes (my... More

This restaurant is clearly popular - we only just got a table for 3 at around 7:30pm on a Monday evening. It was quite lively and noisy, which some would enjoy but others may dislike. Staff were friendly, pleasant and efficient considering how busy they were. The menu was more extensive than I am used to for a Chinese, but... More

One of the best Chinese restaurants we have been to in the UK. The food is fresh, beautifully prepared and presented and the taste is superb. The restaurant gets very busy and I would think that a reservation is always necessary. The staff are well trained, friendly and helpful and we didn’t get a sense of being rushed. The wine... More

We were out to dinner as a family the night before our son's graduation. He had been here before and recommended it and we were not disapointed. The decor is warm and welcoming, not chinese in style, lots of wood. the restauratn was just about full ( we had reserved) and our table was waiting for us at the time... More

Sojo isn't just the best Chinese restaurant in Oxford: it is (as The Times's critic Giles Coren wrote a while back) one of the best in England. Last night four of us paid the latest of many visit and as ever it was fantastic and quite amazing value: a meal with three big shared starters, four shared main dishes, two... More
