Parasol - Menu

Great tasty food . We had the eat as much as you like menu. Loads of choice all lovely. Price has gone up post COVID but completely understand this. We need to support these small establishments.

We made a reservation for an all-you-can-eat buffet on New Year's Eve. It had been a while since we had visited this restaurant. Wow, the food was excellent with a wide variety of options. The service was fantastic and we highly recommend this place.

Very different from how I remember the Parasol of some years ago. We felt really unwelcome and was food was pretty awful. The only dish I enjoyed was the crispy duck, and my friend enjoyed the chicken wings. Poor value for money. Definitely not going back.

We did not feel welcome from the start. We felt rushed to make our order and felt uncomfortable for asking for more drinks. Food was poor, came out warm not hot. The dumplings were not appetising at all and made me loose my appetite for the rest of my meal. After a terrible experience we just could not get out quick enough.

Staying in Abingdon for the Jubilee Celebrations and visited this restaurant Did not enjoy our meal at all. All you can eat buffet brought to us at the table. Tiny portions and having to ask for more tiny portions of very average food. With a long wait for each tiny portion. We gave up in the end which is what I think they want you to do, we were basically ripped off Would not recommend.

We were on a river cruise holiday and went on Saturday evening, not for the first time and throughly enjoyed it again. We had set menu A and it was good, the only thing we not sure about was the dry ribs on the mixed starter, we prefer the sticky ones. Service was great and we had a lovely time and we will be back next time when we are in Abingdon. Don’t understand some of the poor reviews as the restaurant is good.

I cannot understand some of the reviews for this little Chinese/Thai restaurant in Abingdon. The food is delicious, beautifully presented, excellent quality, flair and piping hot. Staff greet you with a smile and are so attentive to your needs. Capital spare ribs and mustard chicken to die for. We always have the ‘all you can eat menu’. We have ordered takeaway food and the quality is exactly the same as sitting in the restaurant. Abingdon are lucky to have this gem of a restaurant.

The food at this restaurant was delicious, even though we were only offered the set buffet menu on a Sunday. Our family consisted of 2 adults and 4 children (two 14-year-olds, one 10-year-old, and one 7-year-old), with only the 7 year old being charged at a child's price. I don't think a 10-year-old should be charged at an adult's price. Maybe for the 14-year-olds (if necessary). Although the food was enjoyable, we sadly won't be back, especially since we were the only patrons in the restaurant.

We were greeted rudely by the staff at the restaurant. When asked for our drink order, I requested water, but before we could fully look at the menu, our alcohol list and wine glasses were taken away. We felt pressured to order our food quickly, and when we said we weren't ready for the second time, the waitress shook her head and walked away. She then proceeded to be on her phone, which was not the best image for the restaurant. After we finished our mains, our tablecloth was removed, making us remove our glasses and belongings from the table. The food came out quickly, and I enjoyed my chicken chow mein and egg fried rice; however, the wonton soup was too spicy due to an excessive amount o...
