The best hidden gem in oxford. Edamame serve family style japanese food to the lucky few who can find it and get a table . Lovely staff. Good place to go when the fridge is empty :)They're only open to so be there early.

the only problem is the room. we went to midday and were low on time, so we have the first opportunity when they were able to delete a table for us. two of us shared one table with four others, and it was not really pleasant to eat surrounded by strangers. but it was worth eating. everything was delicious and serving were huge. I will definitely visit again! View menu

to eat home. To be honest, I was very disappointed after my first visit. read reviews online and see the long line patiently waiting patrons built up very high expectations. vegetarian dishes are usually very bland, which is very disappointing. had much better japaner in many different restaurants in and out japan. After said it is one of the very few (decent) Japanese restaurants in oxford, and the service is great, so I go back to late lunch from time to time.

The lunchtime menu is simple, with about eight main choices, some side dishes and a special or two (the evening one is slightly different, and on Thursdays is the much-fted sushi night). A glimpse of the tiny kitchen makes this entirely understandable. As an appetiser we had some kaiso sarada 3: this was a special), a seaweed and cabbage salad with a hot horseradish (I think) dressing. As far as I could tell the seaweed was real, and the contrast of textures, between dry-ish cabbage and rubbery, salty seaweed was quite addictive.

every Thursday is sushi night. this is the bibble we live (which work down the road). be it rain or glamour, snow or an hour long waiting queue when there is edamame sushi on the other side, it is worth it. especially if they love raw fish. first comes her salmon-nigiri with a generous fish-ice ratio. that is extremely important. the salmon is also so fresh, it has a texture that offers only enough strength to satisfy their teeth before it melts, almost like butter, in their mouth. next is the unagi (eel) nigiri, seasoned with a sweet soy paste, one of its must-have specialties. the availability of these specials (unagi nigiri, spicy thunfisch and more) will be...read more View menu

This tiny restaurant in an Oxford backstreet serves the best Japanese food I’ve ever eaten anywhere. It’s a family setup and you are likely to be seated by the owner, then served food by his son that’s fresh off the pan wielded by his wife : Opening hours vary on different days of the week and one night a week is sushi night so no hot food. No reservations are taken so get there early or you’ll be queuing by the door – this isn’t the place for a long leisurely meal but perfect for lunch in town.Food is gorgeous, my favourites are the pork teriyaki and their eponymous edamame, which is much, much better than you’ll get from any of the Japanese chains like Itsu, Wasabi or Wagamama. They also s...

Every Thursday is sushi night. This is the bible we (who work down the road) live by. Be it rain or shine, snow or an hour long queue, if there is Edamame's sushi on the other side of it, it's worth it. Especially if you love raw fish. First of all, their salmon nigiri comes with a generous fish to rice ratio. This is extremely important. The salmon is also so fresh it has a texture that offers up just enough firmness to sink your teeth into satisfactorily before it melts, almost like butter, in your mouth. Next, the unagi (eel) nigiri, seasoned with a sweet soy paste, is one of their must-have specials. The availability of these specials (unagi nigiri, spicy tuna and more) are made known to... View menu
