"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 diners on flimsy pieces of paper pinned to the wall, and customers who have yet to order sit (and queue) in silent fear of them being taken down... When we go we order (quite frankly) disgusting amounts of sushi, and leave with a stomach so heavy we sometimes take rest on the steps of the Bodleian. Be mindful of their limited opening times and very specialised menus; they typically only open during University term time (because they are just that good). I have heard that their menu for other days are good as well. Disclaimer: No, I was not paid to write this review."
