Moshi in Oxford

One star because I can't put 0. Microwave food, not even the good quality one. Extremely bad flavor.

Really bad food and couldn't get it as takeaway

The chicken soup was very tasty and fresh. My boyfriend had the porkbelly with rice and he was also happy and satisfied!

This is a real underappreciated gem of Oxford. The restaurant is often empty, but the food is always fantastic. You get really authentic Chinese food here. A fantastic lunch option.

Simply the worst. It’s beyond comprehension how this place remains open.

Very cheap and fair quality for the price ! The noodle broth was warming and tasty and the server , though slow cause he was by himself , was friendly and efficient as could be. Good for cheap warming authentic grub , think Japanese greasy spoon

The worst restaurant I’ve ever ate! They microwave cooked salmon and serve a portion of mushy overcooked rice! And charge 9£ ! Complete waste.

My recommendation is to not come here unless you want microwaved food. I ordered teriyaki chicken and it was chicken drenched in soy sauce.

Good quick tasty authentic Japanese lunch; mostly rice dishes.

This is their Thai Green curry chicken. The worst food I've ever seen in my life. This place should not even exist. Everything is either extremely salty or completely bland. Anyone with a bit sense can make better food than them. Please don't go there anymore.

Lovely food at a very reasonable price! We really enjoyed the Thai green curry.

You get what you pay for. The food is cheap but microwaved. Very fast.

simple place. try the homemade items. great flavors.

I had beef curry. It says in the menu "slow cooked beef", but they should write "microwaved beef" because that's exactly what it was. As soon as I heard the microwave "ting" sound, I knew I was in for a terrible food. What a disappointing one.

I had a green curry teriyaki chicken-Oh man thats the worst I had. The Whole lunch is made from microwave, chicken is not fried with teriyaki source, and the there is only some curry powder as well. Even I can make it better at home

Considering basic decor and very cheap lunchtime price, we were not expecting the deliciously fresh, simple meal of clear soup and stuffed bun. Restored our faith in Oxford’s oriental fayre after a very disappointing meal in a town centre pub the night before.

Food was quite expensive and there wasn't very much choice but it was good quality and came out very fast. The staff were friendly and it was a nice place.

Tasty tofu, charming staff, efficient service.

Worst sushi I have ever had, overpriced small portions, with unfortunately the tuna option being inedible - had to throw away.

In short: one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The chicken teriyaki was microwave-blasted and dryer than the Sahara desert -- all served in a flimsy plastic container (we were sitting down) at a whopping price of £8.99. I've walked past this place several times and noticed that it's almost always empty, dimly lit, and generally soulless, so I really should have known. I'm honestly surprised that they've managed to stay in that location for so long. Avoid at all costs.

This is, by far, the worst food experience I've ever had in Oxford. I could bet it the meal had been microwaved. The ingredients were dry and the sauce was clearly from the supermarket bottle. (I can do it much better without much effort). I paid almost 9 pounds. Very pricey for the quality and for the quantity. I don't recommend it.

Stopped here for lunch as was working in the adjacent college and ended up with a very expensive microwaved inedible meal! £8.95 for 6 small greasy microwaved pieces of pork belly along with a scoop of microwaved rice (cold on the outside, thermonuclear on the inside) and a few bits of greenery which had been stewing for hours if not days. It went in the bin.

Food is quite cheap, but tastes and looks like a tesco meal deal.

Great place to eat, handmade buns are nice too!

Friendly staff, good food.Clark &wife are beautiful.

Good chicken soup and really good pork belly

Really nice place for lunch, food amazing and so tasty. Only improvement could be made by making the place a bit more comfortable.

Never answer the phone, don't bother trying.

Fried rice from the microwave, does not worth the price at all. If you want cheap Asian food you should go to the covered market or sushimania bit south

Ordered a beef noodle soup for about £6. For this they just stuck a ready made meal in the microwave, and they served it in the same flimsy plastic bowl. Was the worst tasting beef I've had in a long time. Went with two other friends who also thought their meals were overpriced and terrible.

Delicious food from a family run business!

A hidden gem - excellent food with quick service. My favourite place for a quick and nutritious lunch in the area.

The best sushi in Oxford. Great food and very friendly stuff. Can't recommend enough! Will visit again!

Food was okay, but extremely overpriced. Portion was very small. Definitely not coming back.

Good value takeaway Asian Fusion spot.

Ordered from deliveroo, a huge shock to see my bag of sushi and seaweed salad was the smallest portion of salad and all the sushi had fallen apart. Hardly any rice to hold it together. Did they run out? It cost nearly £13. Crazy. I won’t be choosing them again.

Friendly. Greasy vegetarian dumplings. Quite nice tofu green curry. Water in single use bottles, black plastic dishes, plastic cups.... very, very behind the times on environmental conservation ...

My first experience of moshi and deliveroo to entertain a friend to lunch. It was an embarrassment: eg “Thai curry” was dry shredded chicken alongside some soggy cabbage and rice, with a small amount of unininspiring curry sauce invisible in the bottom of the pot. Don’t do it.

I had a medium teriyaki salmon and it was a good amount for a light meal, and also really rather nice. Quick and friendly service, overall a good experience.

They serve instant-food-like stuff in plastic bowls. Such an appalling quality for the price.

Popped in here for a quick lunch to break up a long day. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. £10 for a tiny bowl of microwaved beef noodle soup, and small bottle of water. The 'beef' barely resembled meat and was a terrible grey colour, the soup slightly more tasty than a pot noodle. All served in a small plastic bowl, with a plastic teespoon to drink the soup. Very disappointing, save your cravings for the weekend, go to Red Star and get some delicious, well portioned food for nearly half the price.

If you want overpriced microwaved food, this is the place! I ordered a “grilled chicken” Katsu curry Bento for £8.45 and I got a dry microwaved hand-shredded chicken meat with extremely salty readymade curry and barely edible beans. My friends ordered a fried rice set and it was obviously microwaved. The fried rice was microwaved white rice with excessive oil. The miso soup was also the worst soup that they have ever gotten. All in all, I definitely DO NOT recommend this ‘restaurant’ because you can easily make their food at home in 5 mins at a much cheaper price.

Bite size portions and too expensive for the quality and quantity. Never thought there’s something like bad Thai

Too much plastic and not much portion

I've had noodle soups before which were nice; hence not 1 star. But thought I'd branch out and ordered salmon teriyaki rice bowl. Microwaved salmon, scant quantities of mediocre sauce, not enough of the fairly nice veg. All for £9? Won't be trying this place again for a while.

Too expensive and the quality of the food is not great

A completely acceptable bowl of noodles for lunch. It was a tad expensive, but served quickly. The duck was quite nice while the vegetables were a tad past their best. I would have been disappointed for dinner, but this worked fine as a quick lunch.

Best gyoza I’ve ever eaten (and delicious tofu ramen!!) - plus they sell Ramune, mochi and other speciality items 😍

The best chicken noodle soup in Oxford. Cheap and tasty!

This is a great, inexpensive place to have lunch -- their bun + soup deal is something like £6, fills you up, and is a very healthy load of piping-hot vegetables (or at least the vegetarian one is!). The Chinese couple that run it are lovely and friendly, and it's popular with those who work nearby.

Easily number 2 place in Oxford for sushi and japanese cuisine

Substandard Chicken Teriyaki for the price paid. Not even sure what it was. Never going there again. Staff were nice though but I went there for food primarily. For £5.95 for a medium meal the portion was good but quality is just POOR POOR POOR.

Microwave food!! Highly not recommended.

I think it has the best sushi around here. Rice is perfect. Also good Miso soup. A great lunchtime snack

Pretty decent food, though a little overpriced in my opinion with too small portion sizes. The staff/owners (a chinese couple) are super nice and friendly though and sometimes give a little extra if you're nice to them!

Very nice place. Has been in business for years. The couple that owns the place could not be nicer. The food is good, but seems a bit overpriced for the size of the sushi portions.

Pedimos unos sushi y curry de arroz, que tomó mucho tiempo para ser servido a pesar de hay gente a la vez (tiene sentido ya que este restaurante es tan escaso con solo 2 jefes, que también son los camareros). La comida es insípida; vi los propietarios de microondas el cerdo y arroz y el Curry es recalentado, y el pescado utilizada para hacer el sushi son claramente todas congeladas; todo por 18 libras! ! Además, no me dieron todo lo que pedimos.

Microwaves food. They're clearly Chinese and not Japanese. Portions small. Rip off. Avoid. Go to Taberu on Cowley Road.

Sirve comida insípida en plástico arrrg: /! !

Ordenamos deliveroo y me decepcionó bastante. La sopa miso era demasiado aguado, el gyoza (como otro crítico) no eran tan claros como deberían ser, y eran bastante pesados, densos y bastante pesado. El sushi se veía muy bien, pero no tiene mucho sabor, el sabor de esa abrumadora el vinagre en el arroz, que estaba bien hecha, pero overseasoned.

Una verdadera joya en Clarendon Street! Me reuní con una amiga aquí para el almuerzo y ambos tuvimos la sopa de fideos de pollo wonton - Una oferta de £6. 49 con una copa! El hombre detrás del mostrador era muy simpático, y también compramos una cosa bun bao y estaban deliciosos! También podemos recomendar los chocolates esponjosa tienen delante del mostrador - no recuerdo el nombre, pero son como mousse de chocolate dentro y divino!

Lomen ordenados el langostino sopa de fideos. Los fideos de arroz y gambas probado. La sopa en sí no tienen ningún sabor. La única cosa que no fuera el sabor de cilantro fueron espigas y soja. La porción era muy pequeña. A pesar de esto, sabía tan mal no pude terminar. No recuerdo algo tan malo en degustación de cualquier cafetería o restaurante en el que he estado.

Visitamos Oxford para el día y queríamos algo rápido y fácil para recoger una cena temprano que no era muy caro con nuestra hija de 5 meses. También necesitábamos un sitio que podría atender a la comida de mi marido intolerancia (no diario, sin gluten, sin cebolla, sin ajo). Moshi fue perfecto! Yo tenía un tofu curry verde tailandés con arroz y mi marido tenía panceta de cerdo con pak Choy también le y arroz. Ambos tan sabroso! El lugar tenía un ambiente agradable, fácil y personal amable. Hay asientos en el interior y el exterior y la panadería de al lado es genial para flan :)

We ordered deliveroo, the chahan was tasteless, the sushi came with no soy sauce wasabi or ginger, the edamame beans were just beans (not seasoned, not even fully cooked), even the kimchi was somehow bland even though presumably they just had to take it out of a pot. We really felt like we wasted our money - Oxford has much better options.

Delicious Japanese food, great service and very cheap! Gyoza were excellent.

La gyoza aquí no están demasiado mal, pero no son realmente gyoza, más como pekín bolas. Nunca es muy concurrido, así que estoy demasiado nervioso para probar el sushi.

Aunque no demasiado estéticamente agradable Moshi es perfecto para comer algo rápido y contundente en un descanso para la comida. El tofu en sus platos vegetarianos es una de las mejores que he comido. El tamaño de las porciones son grandes y una buena relación calidad-precio.

We ordered from here through Deliveroo and certainly won't be doing so again. The order was chicken gyoza, salmon and tuna nigiri and salmon sashimi. The gyoza was ok but the 'gyoza dipping sauce' was just malt vinegar. The fish came without soy sauce, wasabi or pickled ginger, which was disappointing. Also the nigiri rice was a tiny badly made ball that simply fell to pieces when handled. In the end it didn't matter because the salmon was so past it's best that we didn't eat it. Definitely won't be eating here or ordering from here again.

Regularly come to Moshi with co-workers. It has nice selection of dishes, and is cheap. The decoration is non-existent and I would not recommend it for a fancy lunch/dinner but for a quick snack it's perfect. Rice boxes are good and the sushi are nice. It is not traditional Japanese per se but more Japanese like.

I'm a local and I get food from this place a lot, especially when I'm stressed or feeling down. The rice boxes (chicken or pork) are the ultimate comfort food!! I'm pretty much addicted to them. The Sushi is always great. Food always comes in these white minimalist paper bags, and the interior is also decorated in a minimalist, non-pretentious way. Good value for money and extremely friendly staff!

I had their rice dish, which they were advertising on the board outside. I ate inside and noticed that they just microwaved the rice, which was very dry, and tossed two pieces of shrimp on it. Overall the dish was very dry and unappetizing.The food was cheap (5.95 for rice and drink), but there are far better places in downtown Oxford where you can get good rich dishes, like the Covered Market or Gloucester Green. The man at the cashier also did not give me the full change. I noticed it but let it pass, because it was so minimal, but it did not reflect well on the establishment. In short, avoid this place.

I would not recommend this place. I ate in the restaurant and noticed that they just microwaved the rice, which was dry, and tossed some stuff on it. The price was cheap (5.95 pounds for rice dish and drink), but there are definitely places in downtown Oxford where you can get better food at this price. Also, the guy did not give me full change. I let it pass because the change was so minimal, but it did not leave a good impression.

Really lovely sushi, made fresh to order and better than itsu! Would highly recommend for what you get and the quality

It's an OK place to get lunch, mostly due to lack of better options in the area. Sushi is pretty decent, especially if you order it from the whiteboard. Grilled gyoza is OK. The rice dishes are microwaved and taste rather generic. Soups are OK, but are not Japanese. Overall, it's somewhat overpriced. The decor is very minimalistic and nearly non-existent (and not Japanese either). It's not really a dinner place, but fine for lunch.

I'm always delighted to see a new sushi shop appear in Oxford and whilst Moshi provides a good range of Japanese cuisine and a good selection of sushi (including ika and tako), it is very expensive for what you get and many of the nigiri are so cold I expect they were made much earlier in the day and refrigerated. A snack or (very) light lunch worth will cost about £7. If you're after something more filling (though admittedly not as good a variety) try Itsu on Cornmarket.

This place is a gem. Just perfect for a quick lunchtime pitstop. Good sushi. Superb dumplings. Lovely team who run it and could not have been more helpful. All that you need for lunch.

I paid between £7-8 for a takeaway teriyaki chicken box, he just took some cold rice, scattered it with cold chicken pieces and put it in the microwave for 2 mins then squirted this nasty cold teriyaki sauce on it. I wouldn't eat this if it was free but it was soo expensive and gross it was salty and horrible, I couldn't eat it and I'm not a food snob it was genuinely awful.

I ordered online and the food was very scarce and expensive, also did not even include the "chopsticks" and soy sauce, something that always make Japanese food chains. I would never recommend.

I love sushi and this cafe is of such high quality! I love the sushi and sashimi - salmon, tuna, scallop, mackerel, sweet egg. The seaweed salad is lovely and fresh and they are on deliveroo! If I still lived in Oxford I'd order from them all the time!

I really enjoyed my lunch from Moshi. I'm no expert on Japanese food but the staff were really friendly and helpful and the food tasted fresh and flavorsome. There was a good range of options available for vegetarians and the price was very reasonable - just over a fiver for a delicious noodle soup and a plate of sushi. I will be coming back!

My first visit to this Japanese restaurant in the lively Little Clarendon Street.The restaurant itself is very basic with wooden benches seating about 8, and wooden cubes for seats.However, I came here for the food, not the seating arrangements.I chose Teryaki Chicken which was served in an oblong plastic dish, with equal portions of boiled rice and vegetables.there is a huge range of sushi available, but I didn't try it.It was a tasty combination, which filled me up, and cost £7.95.The food is ordered at the bar, but is delivered promptly to your table by friendly staff. They also provide a takeaway or delivery service.

Basic, genuine food, served by people who care. Good value lunch boxes and food is cooked freshly, very tasty and filling.

In Oxford, it's rare to find a place that serves uncomplicated, down-to-earth food at reasonable prices -- and what's more, *isn't* totally crammed at lunchtimes. I come here all the time, and definitely recommend it. If you want pretentious gourmet food, at "gourmet" prices, there's plenty of other choices in Oxford. If you want something straightforward instead, try this place (or the shisha cafe on Friar's Entry near Tesco). I often get tofu noodles and cha fan.

Moshi has a mix of Chinese and Japanese cuisine. The nicest thing about it is that they have a decent selection of hot/cold dishes to eat in or takeaway. Food is of very good value and the staff is friendly. I would happily return.

Not really good but it is an acceptable option for sushi in this area of town.

I had the salmon teriyaki medium rice box - very reasonable at £4.95. The food was prepared quickly and nicely presented. Although I think the rice was microwaved, the salmon was beautifully cooked and tender, and the veg were delicious. Great value for Oxford!

This place offers items from a variety of cuisines (italian canolli anyone?) and you can have there nice sandwiches too. They have also newspapers, wifi and a relaxing atmosphere so I would recommend a visit if you are in those parts of town.

Самое главное это не питать иллюзий вкусно поесть. Если голодны и отсутствует свободное время, Вам сюда. Пластиковые контейнеры с лапшой, бенто с суши. Из положительного пиво Асахи в бутылках.

This place serves consistently delicious food - this time I had the gyoza dumplings, as usual, as well as the duck soup, and both were as delicious as ever. I noticed some other reviews complained about the microwave, and normally that would also put me off, but the flavours of their dishes are always great and I guess it makes sense in a little place like this. You can also get sushi, both pre-made and to order (and then the offer is a lot more varied). Will definitely be back again, hopefully soon.

I just went into this place because it was near my hotel and I saw they did takeaway. I had the chicken tai green curry and the pork dumplings. Both were amazing! The service was also really quick and friendly.

I ordered 'teriyaki salmon'. Could of sorted myself out with defrosted salmon from the supermarket and a bottle of soy sauce. Nice people but definitely won't be back. They are Chinese not Japanese but you find that in most places outside Japan and not to say that would preclude them from preparing good food but thought I would point it out.

This is a fantastic place. The bad reviews are clearly looking for classic restaurants when this is a traditional-style food bar. The ingredients are fresh and good quality. No, every meal is not cooked to order from scratch but that's not what this place is about. It's home-cooked, simple, traditional fare that is great-tasting and fantastic quality.The gyoza are soft as they are steamed and then sautéed not deep-fried. The prices are incredibly reasonable for Oxford and the staff are great. Please don't treat them as you would a waiter at a restaurant - this isn't table service and you shouldn't complain if you don't get it. At lunch times, this place has queues running out of the building and there's a reason for that. So many places in Oxford get shut down as they're competing with a huge number of food places. It would be a shame if such a fantastic place suffered the same fate because a few people were expecting tablecloths not benches.

Was a little put off when I first saw this place as it looked a bit empty, but decided to try the food nonetheless. Decided to buy the pork buns for a quick and easy lunch- they were absolutely delicious. Easily the equal of any buns you can buy in Chinatown in London. Really good value too at only £1.50 a pop! Service was also efficient but friendly. Would definitely recommend this place.

The first time when I get into the place, I just like the atmosphere, it quite busy during lunch time.I had a Chicken Thai curry which is much batter than Wagamama. Sushi is fresh and nice to me, if you order it, they cook right away.I was worry about it after I saw those bad review, I think it just depend different people have different taste after I have been there.

The food is ultra poor quality. I got gyoza which must have been frozen because of the soggy texture. The white rice is extremely over cooked because it's pretty much mush and some parts are brown from sitting too long in the rice cooker. This is the worst Japanese cuisine I have ever had.

The place was empty and not very delicious-smelling, and I should have been put off by the sound of microwaves pinging. Unfortunately I wasn't. Dumplings pretty rubbery, tasteless and expensive -- much better ones available on market days from stalls on Gloucester Green.

I came here with my friends, I wasn't expecting much as the outside isn't great. Though when we went in we were greeted kindly and felt instantly welcome. I ordered a Chicken noodle soup which was spicy and delicious. We got take away, the drinks are a little over priced. Service was quick and friendly, helping us understand what was in each dish. The tables were clean and the restaurant was nicely decorated. Would definitely recommend the chicken noodle soup, and I will certainly be returning.

The environment is not that good but the food is alright. Slow-cooked pork belly with rice is delicious. I will recommend that.

I often eat here and take any friends or family whenever I can. Food is quick, tasty and more authentic than any high street chain. The buns are not to be missed, I will often drive out of my way to pick these up. Reminds me a lot of places I ate in Hong Kong.

I heard it was awful and when my friend brought me there I was really upset at the start. The whole setting looked quite simplistic and rather unpolished, but the food was better than expected. The assorted sushi was actually quite good. I also had green curry here but the curry was not as good. The rice was great though. Other than selling food, Moshi also sells cooking ingredients so it's really convenient for such people living nearby as me!
