Zheng
Oxford, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
Named after the fifteenth-century admiral who sailed from China into Southeast Asia, Zheng cooks along the same route. The Walton Street kitchen moves between Chinese classics, dim sum and Malaysian and Singaporean dishes without treating any of them as a novelty, and the halal, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are woven through the menu rather than bolted on. Jericho gives it a steady local crowd — Oxford University Press staff at lunch, families and couples later — and mains around fourteen pounds keep it an ordinary-week option rather than an occasion. Takeaway is available. One address, one family, no branches elsewhere.
