SHORYU RAMEN OXFORD REVIEWS

Since returning from my latest trip overseas to Japan this year I have been yearning for good quality and tasty Asian food. This really hit the spot and I enjoyed the entire dining experience. From the banging of drums to welcome you into the restaurant, the chefs saying hello and the delicious fresh Japanese style inspired foods that were presented to me. I cannot wait to return and try other menu items

One of the best amenities meals I have ever eaten. Had the pork tan tan.. my expectations are high and the food lived up to its quality and taste. My only criticism is that it took a very long time gor the food to be served.

The restaurant is good, that has so many choices of food and the staff are quite nice. I recommend Signature Ramen. This is very nice and big sides, value of money.

WAGAMAMA OXFORD REVIEWS

Hi everyone, we have been to wagamama restaurants a few times and the experience was great everytime, I must say they just get everything right, the food was fresh, cooked well, tasty and very well presented, its always busy there and that shows you that this place doing a good job, really authentic asian dishes and the sizes are massive, if you are not hungry one dish will do for 2 people, highly recommend stopping to them if you go in Oxford town centre !

I absolutely love this place! The food is authentic and delicious, and the service is efficient and friendly. The only drawback for me is the relatively loud music, which in turn elevates the volume of everyone's conversations and the whole restaurant. Other than that, Wagamama is amazing!

We were sat very speedily and felt instantly comfortable in the familiar Wagamama dining room. Xav was our server and he was nothing short of exemplary for how any waiter should be! Quick and polite service paired with really tasty food. Will be returning soon!

EDAMAME REVIEWS

I adore this little Japanese cuisine place!! Highly recommended what I ordered in the photos. I think it is charming when they keep it cozy and small. One to three customers per group have to share a table with other groups unless you come in bigger group. It is first come first served, you may have to wait in a line for awhile during their busy hours, not ideal in the cold but I can say it's worth it. The food is so fresh and also affordable. The miso soup tasted authentic. I quite enjoyed their plum wine as well. Double-check to make sure the server got your order correctly and that it didn't get mix up with other customer's on the same table like what happened to us. Anyway, I would love to come back to try different menus!

Edamamé is the best Japanese restaurant outside of Japan. I’ve been looking for an authentic Japanese spot since I lived in Tokyo, & this is by the far the best. The sushi is excellent & fresh, & all the other meals are so flavorful. Highly recommend. We come to eat here every week.

Very cosy and authentic Japanese cuisine. Saw high rated reviews and photo of the Japanese owner before decided the visit and it is all worth it! I had edamame, tonkutsu, miso soup, hot green tea and the premium warm sake. Recommend to try tonkutsu, hot green tea and premium warm sake!
