Edamame - Oxford

The taste is delicious, the quality of food and cooking is really good. However, the quantity is substandard ! The seating is annoying, after waiting for 40 minutes to be seated, we were offered to share a table with 2 other clients! I was visiting with my family (4 persons) and wanted a little privacy. Besides, we were almost pushed to finish our dinner within less than 30 minutes for them to seat another group! We all left disappointed and still hungry because the quantity of food was minimal and there was no point to order more because they wanted to seat another group. Also the service was welcoming but not encouraging. The prices are high relatively to what you get in terms of quantity.

This place is really popular with locals. They don’t accept bookings so you will need to queue. Worth the wait. Really tasty and authentic food. Great service, very friendly. And the prices are good too. I’d highly recommend.

If you want a Japanese restaurant dining experience don’t bother going here. However if you want Michelin star food and your prepared to eat with others at your table go here We went to sushi night and we thought we would get there early so we went at 5-00 pm and we’re astonished to see we had to queue on the street and there were a lot of Japanese people in the queue so we waited weren’t disappointed. The food was marvellous , service was quick and efficient. We spent an hour in there and when we came out the queue was even longer than earlier on. Extremely popular eatery and you can’t book but would suggest anyone try it . Totally exhilarating experience

All the food we ordered was extremely salty, soggy and almost inedible. After 45 minutes of sitting at the table my friend was still trying to eat her food and we were asked quite abruptly if we were almost finished as there was a long line at the entrance and they wanted to be seated! Unpleasant experience not worth the wait or visit.

Back in Oxford from the Netherlands we immediately went to Edamame reliving some fine memories.It was as great as we remembered, the homely atmosphere,very friendly service and fantastic food ,miso soup perfect,salmon with sticky rice and edamame/terriyaki sauce mmm,edamame beans wonderful ,went back the next day! Reasonably priced also.
