Edamame in Oxford

Tout petit resto japonais, cusine fine et vraiment bonne, plat autour de 12 livres, peu de places mais on peut faire la queue pour attendre son tour ! Ramen ou sauté de poulet et nouilles très bons.

We came here for the first time recently and it was lovely. The food was fresh and tasty, and we didn’t have to wait too long either. Be aware that this is a casual restaurant, you queue outside and then may share tables with strangers - we knew this and think it adds to the charm of the place, but I thought I’d remind people! The staff could have been more polite but I can’t fault the food, go here for tasty and authentic Japanese cuisine.

I happened across this restaurant on my way to visit Magdalen College. I was lucky that I didn’t have to queue- being on my own meant that I was able to share a table with another solo diner. I ordered the salmon teriyaki and it came with a bowl of rice and some miso soup. The portions were plentiful and the food was very tasty. Service was friendly and efficient.

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.

Nice sharing tables, love the lunch, also try sushi night. You have to wait a little bit outside, but not much.

Clearly a very popular spot with locals; queue went for a while but location was lovely so didn't feel like a burden to wait at all. Once inside, the table was lovely and the atmosphere was fantastic. Service was prompt, helpful, and knowledgeable. The meal (my father ordered the chicken katsu, I had the salmon furai, and we split some pickled greens and sake) came to about £40. If we'd been trying to save we could have eaten a delicious meal for just around £20 for two, which is shockingly good. The food was superb and delivered to our table very quickly while it was still directly out of the fryer. Absolutely delicious: both of us cleared our plates. Know how to use chopsticks but I expect they might provide Western-style cutlery if you ask. But then what would be the point? I'll be returning again.

Really enjoyed our food - wholesome delicious plates of food and kind and thoughtful service. Remember, this is a small establishment with a limited home cooking style - Japanese food aligned slightly to a western palette; so don't go here if you are expecting Nobu style Japanese cuisine - this is simple fare with extremely tasty condiments and cooking styles - very nice portions and not too expensive. LOVE IT

Absolutely loved this place- great food and atmosphere. It’s seriously basic- shared tables and menus displayed on the wall, but what you get served is superb quality. Will be back when next in Oxford.

We went twice in one day, it was so good! Highly recommend the sushi night on Thursday. Fresh and authentic - dry different from the ubiquitous supermarket trays.

Edamame is a hidden gem of delicious Japanese food. As soon as you walk in to the restaurant you are greeted with such wonderful customer service. I will definitely come again to try the different menus on offer.

Outstanding food, really great atmosphere, and a variety of authentic Japanese dishes. Highly recommended!

We stumbled upon this whilst exploring the street of Oxford, it definitely off the beaten track, as there Wasn't much around. There was a fair few queuing already, the lady was good she pretook people order so when your table was ready the food wouldn't be as long of the a wait. There around 8-10 tables in side, so it a very cosy restaurant. I would say the food was delicious, my partner had the pork cutlet which tasted fresh and not remade and I had the shoyu noodle soup, which was flavoursome and yummy. The restaurant has a vibe if you go around to someone house, they cook you something very wholesome and delicious. very homely vibes, there definitely something for everyone. would I return definitely, as the food prices was very reasonable and the service was friendly and attentive. please note check website, as the restaurant only open few hours for lunch and dinner on specific days, so don't want one disappointed :)

I was walking around the campus of Oxford and I stumbled upon this place. Decided to return for dinner after my appointment and I'm glad I did! it is a small place with authentic Japanese comfort food. I ordered the tofu which was excellent probably the best I've ever had, and the karaage chicken which was okay. i'm glad they have restaurants like this off the beaten track. I will Come here again!

We were in Oxford on a day trip. Walking around just before 6pm found this gem. Friendly, limited menu, but cozy, fun and food was quick and tasty. My wife and daughter really enjoyed the dinner. When you find a good local restaurant you need to spread the word.

Very small and cozy, good food and service. Has a very authentic feel, service is nice and quick. Probably the best place to have a dinner at with exception of regular queues.

I have only been to Edamame on a Thursday night (the only night they do sushi) and I keep meaning to go try their other offerings, but the sushi is just *so good* that I can't bring myself to go any other night. Hands down the best sushi I have eaten outside of Japan (for a reasonable price). We paid £55 for two (including service charge) and that got us a couple of beers, a couple of miso soups, and enough delicious sushi to completely satisfy two people with a reasonably large appetite. We tried two of the specials on that night (scallop nigiri and beef tamaki) which were both amazing. Yes, you have to share your table with other people, and yes if you don't get there at 5pm you *will* have to queue and wait as they don't take bookings. But it is completely, utterly worth it. If you live in Oxford and you like sushi then you need to eat here at least once, and if you're just visiting Oxford then try to make it a priority to come on sushi night. I can't recommend it highly enough.

The restaurant was just the perfect size. The food was delicious, the service was amazing and the manager was extremely helpful, especially when we were choosing the menu in advance. He also got back to us promptly with our queries. I would thoroughly recommend. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

Qué joya escondida. Sin pretensiones pero exudando encanto y cultura y excelencia culinaria. Obtienes té cuando consigues tu mesa. Tienes sopa de miso. Tienes pepinillos. Te dan tofu. Obtienes verduras frescas. Obtiene todo lo que pueda desear de su propio "Midnight Diner".El personal es servicial, pero se llena mucho, por lo que es posible que tenga que esperar. Pero vale la pena. Siempre valdrá la pena. Muy recomendable.

Durante el último año y medio, este ha sido mi lugar favorito para las comidas japonesas 'caseras' en Oxford.El espacio es un poco pequeño, así que prepárate para compartir tu mesa con otros invitados.Intento cronometrarlo para que llegue tan pronto como se abra Edamame o, de lo contrario, habrá una larga cola.

We visited Edamame several times. We are impressed by their service-minded, active staff. Foods are really fresh and tasty. Because of their popularity and quality of foods and services, we usually wait for tables, but they are worth the wait.

I work nearby and come here approx once a week for lunch. The food is made and presented with pride. It is always satisfying to eat here. The portion sizes are good and the quality is exemplary. As others have said, it is a cosy place, so there is often a short wait to be seated and the tables are shared between groups. Service is prompt and efficient.

I have never been disappointed when coming to Edamame. The menu at lunch is short, simple and excellent. The chicken karaage, tonkatsu and pork curry are all delicious. Whilst the space inside is small (or cosy!) and no reservations are available, I have never waited outside for longer than 15 minutes. So do queue! It is absolutely worth it. Tous les plats d'edamame sont délicieux. Leur curry, leur poulet frit, leur ramen.... rien que d'y penser je me pourlèche les babines. Cela fait deux ans que je viens ici chaque semaine et j'exhorte les fins gourmets (et gourmands) à essayer ce restaurant inoubliable.

Tasty food, very filling. The cook is Japanese. Food always comes with tea, rice and miso soup.The place is very cozy and small, so go there early for avoiding queuing. The atmosphere is friendly and warm, and the waiters are always friendly and efficient. A hidden gem in Oxford.

Having been to Japan this year I wanted to try this restaurant as everything I heard was good reviews. I have now been twice, for lunch and dinner, and this is what I think:First you need to consider the menu varies depending whether you go for lunch, for dinner, or on Thursday. For lunch you have more limited options but don’t hesitate to try the ramen: the stock is simply amazing and it’s a pretty big portion. If you want to try yakisoba you’ll also need to go for lunch as it’s not served for dinner.The dinner menu is broader but you won’t find some of the star dishes. Really recommended though is the chicken karaage and the edamame beans.Thursdays are the only day they offer sushi.The restaurant does not offer availability to book, and it’s open during very specific times only, so you really need to plan your visit as it’s always really busy (less for lunch than for dinner) and there will be a queue waiting outside. The place is tiny and you share table with other guests, so the less people your party is probably the easier to get in.

La comida aquí fue más que maravillosa. Vine con mi madre y mi hermana a almorzar y al principio me preocupaba que no pudiéramos encajar, pero hay mucho espacio. La pequeña habitación ofrece un ambiente muy acogedor e íntimo con pequeñas mesas y taburetes. Las camareras eran educadas y el servicio era bastante bueno. Los alimentos. Estaba. Asombroso. Todo es tan rico en sabor y los chefs realmente saben cómo hacer una buena comida. Es auténtico y es un restaurante familiar, por lo que es bueno poder apoyar a las empresas locales. Cuando nos fuimos, notamos una enorme cola afuera de la puerta porque el restaurante es muy popular, ¡y con razón! Definitivamente lo recomendaría.

Aucun avis sur la cuisine car nous n'y avons pas mangé. Nous devions être à cinq mais arrivés à deux nous devions attendre à l'extérieur du restaurant que nos parents arrivent(5 minutes) et prendre un apéritif en attendant n'était pas possible(?). Aussi sommes nous partis.

Necesitaba un poco de tranquilidad mientras llevaba a mi hija a Oxford en un día abierto de la universidad, y aunque ella me hizo dudar de su conexión genética conmigo al optar por una Big Mac, me almorcé en Edamame. Sospecho que comí bastante mejor que ella. Me encantó un plato de salmón, atún y arroz, junto con una ensalada de col y miso y sopa de miso. El salmón frito en pan rallado tuvo menos éxito. El servicio fue encantador y bien informado. Entré y salí en 30 minutos, la factura era de 17 y me sentí completamente restaurada.

Fantástico salmón teriyaki. Me encanta este pequeño lugar: una verdadera joya escondida y una visita obligada si estás de visita en Oxford.

Our family of five thought we would try this little restaurant, arriving early for Thursday sushi night. The queue moved quickly and the very helpful lady described the dishes and the process as we waited, taking our order before we sat down. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious - particularly the miso soup - both fish and vegetarian. The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful and the meal was very reasonably priced. We all loved it and can’t wait to visit again.

Gran giapponese, piatti tipici e ben presentati, ottimo il pollo al curry!!

We visited one Thursday evening when meeting our son in Oxford. Don't worry about the queue it moves quickly and the food is worth the short wait. I haven't eaten much Japanese food before and this place was a great introduction. Very friendly and helpful staff. Thursday evening is sushi evening. We tried a range of great tasting food, plus beers all for £60. I would say great value for oxford

We were old friends meeting for lunch and a chat. We’ve eaten here before and will keep coming back. We were seated very quickly and as usual the service was excellent. It is obvious that the staff are happy in a wonderful family environment.

We ran into this place by pure luck and didn't regret it, amazing food friendly people in a very nice and cosy place.

I had chunks of salmon with rice and a cucumber salad. Also a small bottle of sparkling sake (I didn't know such a drink existed before I came here but it tasted good). The food was excellent! Subtle flavours, very well balanced. The restaurant looks really nice with wooden furniture. And the staff is very friendly. I really can recommend this nice little restaurant.

Edamame can be great, providing you abide by the rules. The opening hours are very short - it is never open later than 8.30pm, on Sundays it is just 12 - 3.30 and it isn't open at all on Mondays and Tuesdays. The restaurant is small and narrow and does not have more than about six tables. As a consequence, it does not take bookings and there is frequently a queue of people huddled in the very narrow doorway and sometimes stretching out into Holywell Street outside. If you do see this you are out of luck and should probably repair to the Turf Tavern over the road for a bit. Be prepared to be seated on a table with people you don't know and to be shifted part-way through your meal to another table if a party come in and want to sit together and if you are in a large group of people then chances are you will be asked to split and occupy different tables. The fact that the restaurant is small and the tables are close together means that it can get loud and echo-y and we learned more about one of our neighbouring diner's jobs than we ever wanted to (to be fair, she was a bit of a latter-day Stentor and her friends didn't get a word in).

Un lugar perfecto para degustar comida japonesa a precios más que aceptables para estas latitudes. Es posible que tengas que hacer cola para que te asignen mesa, porque dispone de pocas mesas. Con una sopa se come más que bien, porque se trata de platos contundentes. Muy auténtico y recomendable.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced.

No están bromeando cuando dicen que este lugar es pequeño, es diminuto. Sin embargo, la comida es * definitivamente * vale la pena. ¡La gente es muy agradable allí, y es muy útil con el menú disponible!

Since I went to Japan back in 2016, this is the first time I feel a real japanese experience for dinner. I’ve stayed there on thursday for the sushi night: miso soup, gunkan set, salmon and tuna sashimi, white rice, salmon and avocado temaki with hot green tea for 28£. Everything absolutely delicious, especially the temaki. Shared table more than welcome when I travel alone, in fact now I have two more friends from Spain. A real izakaya experience in Oxford! Good job guys!

excellent as always, love this place, highly recommended... thank you again will be back very soon !!

I first ate at this place almost 20 years ago and was thrilled to see it’s still going strong. Excellent food, friendly service. There can be lines around the corner but we were lucky to get in quickly. The daily specials were great and the ramen always have a genuine home cooked feel.

Edamame always deliver great quality food and good produce. The staff and service is very efficient. Potentially the best food in Oxford.

My partner and I had an extremely good selection of food. We tried their special edamame beans and were thoroughly surprised by how tasty they were.

Déjeuner solo un jour de pluie à Oxford (mais oui, ça arrive !). Endroit minuscule, je partage ma table avec une inconnue avec qui je lie conversation. Dès la prise de commande, on nous sert un bol de thé vert bien chaud. J'ai commandé un poulet au curry, large portion d'un poulet pané frit (!) avec une bonne sauce bien parfumée et du riz blanc. Le tout avec un bol de bouillon miso que je n'ai pas touché car plus faim. La dame avait commandé une sorte de soupe avec plein de choses dedans, un véritable saladier ! J'ai payé 10 euros, service laissé à la discrétion du client. Service aimable et rapide. Bref, à recommander.

Just what I was looking for for lunch: fast service and a reasonable portion. They do a lovely job of the intermingling of different flavours the Japanese excel at. It's authentically average Japanese food.

I went on a Thursday sushi night hoping to try some authentic Japanese sushi. The service was very sincere but it was far from the quality I'm used to back home. The rice was a bit too vinegary to my taste, and the fish was just ok. I didn't try the other dishes so my comments are limited to the sushi.

A tiny restaurant on a side street opposite New College with few other restaurants around it, but clearly word of mouth keeps them busy enough.

Went for lunch - queue outside door before opening - filled up very quickly.

We visited Edamame on Holywell Street before a gig at the Holywell Music Room.

Las expectativas eran muy altas, después de haber vivido en Oxford durante siete años, y nunca logré llegar al difícil Edamame con las extrañas horas de apertura, finalmente decidí hacer cola conmigo mismo y ver de qué se trata el alboroto y las clasificaciones fenomenales. En los últimos años, se han abierto varios buenos lugares japoneses en Oxford: el excepcional Koto en North Parade, la decente cadena Shoryu en Westgate y el maravilloso pero caro Sticks'n Sushi, además de varias cadenas de comida rápida japonesa como Itsu y Wasabi.

Mi hija está en una de las universidades cercanas y, como vegetarianos, nos encanta comer en este encantador lugar local: barato y alegre, te sentarás en mesas compartidas y escucharás conversaciones fascinantes con cualquiera, desde turistas desaliñados hasta profesores universitarios.

Comida encantadora, personal encantador. Este restaurante es, en efecto, una casa convertida. Prepárate para sentarte con personas que no conoces, algo que solo se suma a la experiencia para nosotros. También me encanta cómo puedes colar un pico en la cocina también. Fuimos el jueves por la noche, que es noche de sushi. ¡Creo que debemos haber probado todo en el menú porque era tan delicioso! Gracias a todos, ¡están haciendo un trabajo fabuloso y nos veremos pronto!

Asegúrate de llegar temprano para garantizar una mesa, ¡este lugar es popular! Fueron muy acogedores con mi pequeño hijo, mi marido y yo, el dueño incluso le mostró a mi hijo cómo hacer palillos fáciles. No dudaremos en volver, pero probablemente sin nuestros hijos, ya que se siente como un lugar en el que preferiría disfrutar sin ellos (aunque sean amigables para los niños). ¡Si viviéramos en Oxford estaríamos aquí semanalmente!

Almorcé aquí con mi esposa y mi hija. Llegué allí y la gente estaba haciendo cola afuera, obviamente muy popular. Tuve que esperar unos 20 minutos por una mesa, sin grandes dificultades. Empacan a los comensales en el restaurante y usted estará cenando con extraños en su mesa, pero esto se suma a la atmósfera del restaurante. Tuvimos edamame como entrante entre nosotros, pollo kara, isobar de yak de cerdo y un plato de carne de la tabla de especialidades. La comida era muy buena, el ambiente excelente, se sirve muy rápido y un buen servicio. Como se indica en el restaurante, esto no es una experiencia gastronómica típicamente británica y se le servirá muy rápidamente y se espera que desaloje cuando termine. ¡Definitivamente vamos a estar de vuelta! !

Edamame is een klein authentiek Japans restaurant. De kwaliteit van het eten is geweldig en de prijs valt reuze mee. Het restaurant is maar klein en je kan er niet reserveren. Vaak staan er ook mensen te wachten op een tafel, maar meestal duurt dit niet lang. Als je van Japans eten houdt dan is dit restaurant een must.

I loved the staff the food was great and the food came very quickly .

The atmosphere is very nice and homely, Japanese style Restruant seating together. Met some really nice people. Staff all friendly and loved the food. Amazing experience!

Incredible food at humble prices, everything I have tasted from the jaga bata to fishcakes have been delicious. I intend to become a regular, excited to try the sushi one day too! I have eaten here twice and very excited to return and order some new things on the menu.

Expectations were high for this place based on the sterling reviews. I came on a Saturday evening and was looking forward to an exceptional meal.

My daughter is doing her MPhil at Oxford and convinced me that we should have lunch at Edamame. I’m Japanese American and frankly pretty cynical about Japanese cuisine outside of Japan. Most places do a fair job and few are great. My expectations for a place in Oxford were very low. I was amazed. We had to wait about 20 minutes to get a table - everything is focused on moving as many people as possible through this small restaurant in as gracious a way as possible. The tonkatsu ramen was a special of the day. It was one of the best examples I’ve had outside of Japan. Frankly much better than many versions I’ve had at home in California. I’ll definitely be back.

I've eaten lunch here twice in the past 2 weeks, and am already looking forward to returning here again. This is probably one of the best restaurants in Oxford.

We arrived early on Saturday for lunch with our 20 month old son. The staff were very accommodating and charming in taking care of us and helping our son try out chopsticks. We were also greeted with a cup of warm tea which was lovely. It got busy quickly but there was a nice buzz about the place. Be mindful though that you’ll need to queue if you don’t arrived when they open.

Was pleasantly surprised to find real legit Japanese food in central Oxford. We went for lunch. Because of its small size, you will be seated with other people. Pretty much eat and go kind of place. Go there for the food not the ambience.

great food, I really enjoyed. But I was sick afterwards, because their rice contains vinegar which contains gluten. Now, the owner had told me, but also showed me review of somebody who said was very sensitive to gluten and was ok after eating sushi there. I was not, and was horrible. But being new to the celiac disease i trusted others, which was my mistake. If you are sensitive to gluten, do not go there on a sushi day. For everybody else, enjoy. the space is small, so not for intimate conversation. I shared the table with a couple who discussed their sex life with others in detail. I really did not care, but it is hard to space out if you are alone and in a small space. But ambience is nice, feels like somebody dining room.

Visited edamame recently on a short trip to oxford. Firstly watch the opening hours they are quite short, we got here to find a short q at 8pm and noticed there was an 830 closing time. We did get in after a short wait, and we had a great meal.

Went there with my fiancé at the weekend and it was awesome! A quirky little place that gets busy very quickly so it’s a good idea to get there early or you’ll be waiting for a table. The food was quick and really good, service was excellent recommending all of our dishes which we didn’t regret!

Small but perfect little hidden gem off the beaten path in Oxford. I’ve lived here for 11 years and never knew this existed. My friend took me and showed me this amazing place. Great fresh food with veggie options too.

Honestly I don’t eat Japanese food in Oxford (or even in most of the UK really), but this place surprised me! It is legit homemade food. The menu changes and is about as tiny as their seating space, but worth the wait for a good meal. I had the tonkatsu and a spicy salmon roll. Very high quality fish! We were just a little bummed that the ramen and curry weren’t on the menu that night; but good excuse to go back.

Very cosy atmosphere, seating at small tables. Great tasting food. Very authentic meals. Nice veggi choice.

Mi amigo trajo de Belfast que ansía para comida japonesa a este restaurante. El teri salmón siempre es tan bueno! El plato de calamares es también fantástico. Buena calidad de la comida que se sirve en este restaurante! Si estás buscando una buena comida, sin duda debe probar esto! =)

Used to come to this restaurant and went back recently for lunch for old times’ sake. Food-wise it remains a better version of Wagamama in a smaller and more homely diner setting. The curry rice is pretty good. Normal quality you’d get in Japanese restaurants in London/ big Asian cities. It’s not exactly fast food but you are expected (and subtly reminded by the lightning speed at which plates are cleared) to eat promptly and leave promptly. Service is brusque but not rude. It is not cheap for what it is (see menu). You pay a premium for eating this sort of thing in Oxford where there aren’t that many good restaurants (which is strange given the food scene generally in the UK). Does the trick if you are in Oxford and have Asian food cravings. Otherwise not really worth it.

Nos sirvieron muy rápido, el personal era muy agradable y educado, sin embargo, la comida no era tan impresionante. . Pollo katsu era básicamente de pollo frito en salsa de pan rallado y con el mínimo, el pollo estaba delicioso, pero tenía la impresión de que la salsa katsu tiene más. . Ramen de mi pareja. Era el caldo de soja con un montón de fideos y con 3 piezas de pollo y algunos tiros de bambú, de nuevo, tenía la impresión de que ramen contiene más cosas como huevos y verduras. . En general nos pareció que la comida era sosa. El menú era muy restrictiva pero sabíamos que ya no sorprende.

Me encanta este restaurante, todo el sushi es "increíble". Muy fresca y sabrosa.

Fui a este restaurante para comer aproximadamente una vez a la semana, y lo han hecho por más de cinco años. Yo soy la suerte de viajar ampliamente y comer en muchos lugares, pero este lugar es uno de mis platos favoritos. El cuidado y la atención a la calidad de la comida es el ethos del restaurante. - nunca he tenido una mala comida aquí, en los cientos que se deben de haber comido Edamame. El servicio es eficiente y anfitriones son amables. Su popularidad significa que se llena de gente entre 12:00 y de 14:00 - el mejor consejo es ir muy temprano o muy tarde. Si puedes llegar temprano en un viernes a mediodía, quizás tienes suerte con su sashimi especial si cualquier de su sushi jueves. Raciones generosas de pescado muy fresco y muy buenos precios. No podría recomendarlo más. Alex

土曜日の５時過ぎに来店。既にある程度席は埋まっておりました。とんかつ、ご飯、味噌汁、納豆、きんぴら、ほうれん草のバター炒めを注文。家庭で食べる和食の味がして、美味しかった。イギリスに住みだして、初めて落ち着ける和食を食べた。近所だったら通っていると思う。

Last month on a holiday in England, my wife and I decided to visit the famous town of Oxford. In the evening, after spending time touring the university, we stopped at this restaurant. As others have already said, we found the service to be unfriendly. In the Netherlands, we like to take our time to enjoy dinner and company. In this restaurant, the service was rushed, and without charm. Also, we had a impression that they were anxious to have us leave as soon as possible. Ok, perhaps for a small restaurant this is understandable as they have to make money.

Un amigo mío fue un gran, gran fan de este lugar, así me convenció para ir con él para el almuerzo. Para ser justos, siempre me vi las colas afuera, así que fue genial para finalmente ver a qué venía tanto revuelo! Para el almuerzo, esto es lo que se llama una "teishoku-ya", o "set" en Japón comida conjunta. Se compra un "teishoku", que incluye un plato principal, arroz, sopa miso, pickles, a veces un lado plato o dos. Así que no te preocupes por preguntar si ciertas cosas incluyen ciertas cosas etc. La principal, simplemente elegir lo que quieres y deja que ellos se alimentan. Yo tenía un tonkatsu (chuleta de cerdo) la comida. Fue una buena katsu (realmente, con una generosa porción de arroz) y sopa caliente miso. Sólo un gran almuerzo, abundante, con una gran relación calidad-precio. A pesar de las multitudes abarrotaban un espacio pequeño, servicio meticuloso y cuidadoso. sentimos Cubre son procesados con bastante rapidez, así que no tengáis miedo de unirse a la cola!

A busy small place with fast service and fresh food. The lunch service was efficient with no problems. This is a gem in the heart of Oxford, the opportunity to experience a part of real Japanise style cuisine in a homely environment. Even down to...

A friend and I stumbled across this place on the search for food between library sessions and wow were we impressed. We were seated and served very quickly despite how busy and small it was, and before ordering we were given tea which was adorable. I had chicken katsu which was delicious and a very generous portion. Would highly recommend and would definitely come again.

Edamame is very busy as it is very small, so we arrived upon opening to ensure we didn't have to queue. I had the chicken katsu which was amazing!! and it is a generous serving as it quite big, served with a soup, rice and sauce. They also provide you with a tea upon arrival which was very nice. The only thing people may perceive as a downside is that you have to sit on a table with other people; however it is perfect for a date as you get to sit very close so you can touch each other all the time if you want (which is what I like to do)

El restaurante es pequeño y puede que tenga que compartir mesa, pero es fantástico. Nos presentamos en una noche de sábado y aunque el lugar estaba lleno y nos segundo en la cola que sólo tenía una muy corta espera para sentarse. El menú no es enorme, pero con más que suficientes opciones para satisfacer las necesidades para la mayoría. El personal era servicial y nos aconsejó sobre nuestras opciones.

Fui con mi marido ya que desafiaron mutuamente para encontrar algo nuevo cada mes. Uno de los mejores lugares que encontramos. Comida deliciosa, gran fama en el lugar y el personal encantador. Sin duda, en nuestra lista de un lugar que nos gustaría volver.

Estábamos caminando por un bonito Oxford street cuando nos topamos con esta pequeña joya de restaurante. Entra en animada conversación y algunos olores irresistibles nos recibió una camarera muy amable que nos sentamos en una mesa (compartido) y nos guió a través de los menú, señalando algunas opciones adicionales se muestran en las paredes alrededor de nosotros. Todo lo que probamos estaba absolutamente deliciosa y nos recordó de nuestra visita a Japón el año pasado.

Cuando estamos en Oxford el Jueves nos aseguramos de que no se pierda el sushi edamame noches. Es el mejor sushi que he encontrado un sitio en Gran Bretaña: Sin lujos y extravagante de vestirse, simplemente mejor el Sushi ingredientes de calidad con un poco de especias, etc. para hacer el sabor absolutamente fantástico.

Mi pareja y yo hemos visitado Edamame durante 10 años, cada pocos meses y llegar a 50 km de Gloucestershire para hacerlo y nunca he tenido una mala experiencia! !

Después de haber probado casi cada restaurante japonés en el centro de la ciudad de Oxford (o fuera de él), creo que eclipsa todas. Edamame Su menú no es el más grande, pero eso es probablemente por qué la calidad de cada plato es excelente en todo. El pollo katsu (mi favorito) es excepcional, y en especial me encanta como el japonés de arroz y sopa miso son tan auténticos. Lo mejor de todo, es muy acogedor y un lugar acogedor para comer, y he descubierto que nunca se lleva demasiado tiempo para conseguir un asiento, incluso durante las horas pico.

Was looking for a different experience and ask colleagues what they would suggest. A colleague suggested Edamame and, after visiting their website and TripAdvisor, I thought I would give them a try. As they don’t accept reservations just stopped by. Waited around 5 min and we’re greeted by a lovely lady who asked how many of us. Just me and my wife.

This is a small but authentic Japanese restaurant. Although everyone sits together on bench tables it has the atmosphere of a private house. The food is all freshly prepared and the flavours are amazing. I had the chicken katsu and the chicken was tender and served with miso soup and a dipping sauce, delicious. Avoid the chains and eat here instead but be prepared to queue.

had a great dinner with friends at edamame. food was delicious, my favorite was the salmon, but really everything was great! the place is cozy and welcoming and the staff were friendly. will definitely visit again!

After a surprisingly brief queue, we were seated with two other customers on a table at the back. Lengths have been taken to squeeze as many customers into the small room, for example small wooden stools replace chairs. This may be uncomfortable for some, but...

Is a fantastic Japanese restaurant, and the curry with chicken is the best I ever try, out side looks normal, but inside the mood is nice, the servers are friendly, they have a policy to share table with others because is small but that’s is
