Zushi Restaurant in Cherwell

Every time we've been, the food has been absolutely delicious, with friendly staff. The salmon teriyaki is a favourite of mine and tempura prawns. The jatsu curries have been fab too. My husband enjoys the sushi and donburi. We hope to visit again soon.

Not worth the price with the amount of food you get. Size of a children’s meal

Something different, spot on all round will go again

Although I told them 5 times I was intolerant to milk and eggs the dish I ordered had them. 5 minutes after leaving was severely ill. If you have food intolerances you know what I’m talking about.

Absolutely fabulous meal here, lovely staff and very reasonably priced.

Absolutely delicious food. Reasonably priced. Big portions. Friendly and helpful staff. I'd recommend booking a table. Both times I've been in the evening it's been very busy 🥰

Good place for Japanese food had good food. But have to tell everyone do not expect any service at this place they just don’t care.

Tel tasty bento boxes ordered, two gamely dispatched.

What a gem of a restaurant. Only ever had a Japanese meal once before and that was a set meal so we were unsure what to have. The staff suggested small tapas like dishes. And oh what joy, they were delicious. We order 3 first then ordered more as we went. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff polite and friendly. We a lso thought it was great value, we had six dishes plus drinks, all for under £50. Definitely recommended and works visit!

I ordered to my home : tempura moriawase it was good but for 9.20 you can get 2 shrimps 1 slice zucchini and 2 sliced paprika 😂😂😂😂 what is a joke. I ordered as well zushi set platter good but nothing special. And the worst 2 pork ramens full with noodle and everything but bouillon even didn’t take half bowl it was not ramen it was noodle with little sauce I paid for everything 60£ and to be honest I could eat better for 5£ with Tesco sushi

Food always tasty and fresh. Staff most welcoming.

A nice and cosy spot which is perfect for smaller gatherings as the spaces within the restaurant are quite tight - and it’s almost always full! The meals were all tasty, well-priced, reasonably portioned. The menu is also extensive which gives a myriad of choices for all tastes. I personally enjoyed the California roll, chicken katsu roll and the spicy tuna rolls. The Yaki Udon with prawns was also nice too. Nothing was absolutely astonishing but for the price it made for a good meal. The service was arguably the highlight, with very fast and friendly servers even with a 3/4 full restaurant. The food came out astoundingly quickly for our relatively large order and the speed at which it was served didn’t seem to jeopardise the quality. Overall, I would recommend for any families or smaller parties looking for a nice meal.

We've been coming here regularly since it opened and never had a bad, or even mediocre, meal. The service is always quick and friendly and the food consistently great. I can highly recommend the Korean chicken and the dragon rolls! Definitely our favourite place to eat in Banbury.

Becoming a bit of a regular here, the Korean chicken is my absolute favourite!! Staff so welcoming and friendly and food comes out really quick, best time we ate was a 45 minute sit down in stuffed our faces with some seriously delicious food and done!

Having lived in Japan, this is as authentic a taste of sushi as it is possible to find without getting on a plane! The staff are fantastic, the menu delicious and the atmosphere is cosy, friendly and complimentary to the splendid food on offer!

Brilliant food fresh ingredients and smiley people. Thank you so much guys

Very delicious food, super seasoned, I recommend it.

Came for our daughters birthday and the food was amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely becoming back again.

Had high hopes for this place. Bulgogi (nearly 13 pounds) came with 6 pieces of meat. Having had bulgogi many times in Korean restaurants (hot plate) in London, Vienna, Seoul etc, where they serve a regular portion, I was very shocked to see the snack size portion. They didn't mention I need to order rice separately untill after the 6 small slices of 'bulgogi' arrived. We usually had rice served with the Bulgogi. Came home and had some food.

Ordered rainbow roll, chicken teriyaki and chicken gyoza. It was oishi 😋 Service top-notch 👌 very caring and attentive. We will definitely come back

Every time we've bujinkan seminars we going for Japanese meal after, Zushi is absolutely perfect, can't wait to come back again 😋 Domo origato 🙏 ps. Black sesame ice cream is something You must try 😋

Decided to go Japanese after hearing good reports, and boy I'm glad we did. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the choice of drinks is to a minimum, a few wines, couple of beers, coke and fruit juice, also the green tea. Ordered the starters well in advance of placing main. The salt and pepper chicken was served on a bed of salad which we enjoyed the most. Onto the mains, there was a large selection so all could try, my favourite was the spicy beef ramen, the beef melted in your mouth as it was so tender, for me the heat was just about right for me. So the big question is would I go back? That's a big yes.

Couldn't fault this place. They fitted us in quickly, despite being very busy. I had the Pork Ramen which was top notch, my partner had Yaiisoba which she found exceptionally good. The service was efficient, courteous, and friendly. We will be back.

Absolutely love Zushi, I've been quite a few times and there is plenty of options to choose from including sushi, Japanese & Korean dishes & everything I have tried has been lovely 😍 The service is always really good too & the restaurant has a good vibe, would definitely recommend.

The in house experience is so much better than take away standard. Food arrived cold and uncooked, had to throw half of it away. Portions are tiny for the price and batter tastes stale.

I've come to this restaurant several times, be it with family, friends or my partner and I have to say every single time has been an absolute hit! I've never had a bad experience at Zushi before! The atmosphere is almost always calm and respectful without being boring or lacking, the staff serve you politely and never interrupt you to ask if you're done etc. They always wait for the right moment. Now onto the food, while a little expensive (as good sushi usually is) it is well worth the price. I highly reccomend the lunchtime bentos! I have also ordered from zushi before and even then my experience was good. Overall, it's a fantastic dining experience and I will be going again many times.

No information about delivery time

Great food and Brilliant service. Definitely a wonderful restaurant!!!

the food was great and everything went fine with my order - I just wished the app would offer more frequent updates regarding the order. It basically went from being confirmed to being delivered, without any updates if it was being prepared or if it had left the shop to be delivered.

Absolutely outstanding food. I know I'll be thinking of the spicy pork bibimbap for weeks. Will be back again soon.

Very nice, very friendly, food value 👌

Food quality was not great having eaten from here before

Restaurants tend to either have fast service or good food, in my experience - Zushi manages both. Delicious food that arrives surprisingly quickly. We ate way too much but have no regrets.

The food was sensational 😋, so fresh, considering just how far we are from the coast! I would recommend wholeheartedly! It is quite expensive, but worth every penny!

Gorgeous little sushi and noodle restaurant, yaki udon and tamago were to die for, highly recommend!

Zushi is my go to restaurant in Banbury for great Japanese and Korean food. The staff are friendly and service efficient and unobtrusive. I took my son on Thursday and we started with Teriyaki Salmon, Korean spiced Chicken and Tempura King Prawns. I then had the Bugogli Beef while my son enjoyed the Spicy chicken Dolsot Bibimbap. Both came out sizzling hot in their bowls and were delicious.

Lovely Japanese restaurant! All food arrived quickly and was really fresh, we really enjoyed our meal and the crunch rolls were our fav. The only negative is that I found some dishes to be quite expensive but none the less I would recommend and go back.

The food was absolutely delicious, and I had two of the tastiest meals I've ever had here. I'm not so familiar with the menu but the waitresses were happy to explain what everything is and what each dish comes with. Left a tip and the staff were very thankful for it. Looking forward to returning.

Good range of food (a small Korean section on the menu) and sushi types. Slightly limited on fish options (salmon, tuna, unagi, octopus, sweet prawn). Interestingly, comparing the tuna sashimi and tuna nigiri, the quality of the sashimi is much better than the nigiri (you can see both in the picture). Would be great if they offered a chirashi bowl as well. Friendly staff. Unlimited refills for green tea which is great. Great for a meal out, but won’t be doing it too frequently because of the price.

Lovely food great service reasonable prices Highly recommend

Super speedy getting food out, food as always fresh and delicious, never been let down.

Always good food and quick service

Very nice food. Delivered Japanese and Korean actual taste

Food was cold and very bland. Not what you usually get from zushi

When we order for collection, it's ok and the food is good but it can be difficult to park in town to pick it up so we order delivery occasionally. But sadly we have been let down by them on multiple occasions now and this is the last straw. We placed an order today, their website said 45-60 min for delivery. We chose a slot that was 1.5 hours later, just to be on the safe side as we've had to wait that long before too... And now, they are 45 minutes late for *that* slot too, so we've been waiting for over 2 hours for a simple order that's a 5 minute drive from the place. They didn't even offer to refund the delivery fee as a token gesture and just made some excuses on the phone. Also, their delivery drivers have got lost almost every time too, even though it's not a strange location at all. We'll order from elsewhere next time. Very disappointed as the food is okay. Not all authentic Japanese (I used to live in Japan), but good enough and there aren't any other options nearby sadly ☹️

Very good service and amazingly delicious food! When in Banbury it’s definitely a must!

Was very good worth the money, great presentation delicious

Absolutely delighted with our meal today. Came for dinner and was very surprised with how nice it was. This is not like your typical asian cuisine, but more like a traditional one. Would definitely recommend.

The ingredients are common Japanese ingredients that can be bought in supermarkets, and the taste is standard. But the service was terrible, I was left out and I felt disrespected, maybe because there are no other Japanese food restaurants in this town. Just like that, I don’t want to have a second experience, and the game room next door seems more respectful to the guests! ☹️

annoyed that food was not on time and phone line was constantly busy so could not talk to anyone to arrange pick up instead of delivery. but impressed someone from restaurant drove to deliver

The delivery time slot given was already an hour and 20 minutes after I placed the order and they were late 10-15 mins on top of that. Really horrible service for such a big establishment like just eat and the restaurant itself. If there were 0 stars

A great place for Japanese and Korean cuisine. We tried the dragon sushi roll (fittingly to celebrate the new year of 🐉), the soft shell crab tempura and the pork and the beef ramens, all looked mouth-watering to and tasted 💯 delicious. The portion was also generous and the bills did not automatically include any service charges.

2nd attemp to eat here. 1st attempt plenty of seats but apparently full reservation which I question as I finally managed to get a table on my 2nd attaemp. Was surprised to not see the master in preparing the sushi which is normally a standard in Japanese restaurants. The ski was as should be but the wasabi is horseradish and not wasabi and at the prices you would expect at least authentic wasabi which was very mediocre. The rice was sticky and as should be but the sashimi wasn't as fresh as it should be. The tuna was at least 3 or 4 days old and the salmon was slimy which means it was probably around the same age as the tuna if not older. Will not be returning as the price does bot reflect the quality.

Very very good service an grate food 😁👍👌😍 £100 for 2 with tip an drinks 🍸 worth every penny

I really loved the food, thank you very much !

Nicely cooked Japanese food at pizza prices.

Our favourite restaurant in Banbury

Zushi is the best restaurant in Banbury, by a distance.

Zushi Banbury: A Culinary Gem in the Heart of Oxfordshire Rating: 5 stars Zushi Banbury has quickly become my go-to spot for authentic Japanese cuisine. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was transported to a world of culinary delights. The restaurant's ambiance is both elegant and inviting, with warm tones and subtle Japanese accents creating a sense of serenity. The food at Zushi is nothing short of exceptional. Each dish is meticulously prepared using fresh, high-quality ingredients, resulting in an explosion of flavours that tantalize the taste buds. I particularly enjoyed the sushi, which was incredibly fresh and packed with flavour. The rolls were beautifully presented, showcasing the chef's artistry and attention to detail. Beyond the exquisite food, the service at Zushi is equally impressive. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about providing an exceptional dining experience. They took the time to understand my preferences and made excellent recommendations based on my tastes. Zushi Banbury is not just about the food and service; it's an experience that engages all the senses. The restaurant's ambiance is peaceful and relaxing, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. Even the toilets are spotless, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to cleanliness and attention to detail. Whether you're a seasoned sushi connoisseur or simply seeking a taste of authentic Japanese cuisine, Zushi Banbury is a must-visit destination. The combination of exceptional food, impeccable service, and a serene ambiance makes it a true gem in the heart of Oxfordshire. I highly recommend Zushi to anyone seeking a culinary experience that will exceed their expectations.

Amazing food, service is exceptional. The staff could not be more lovely. Recommend booking though as it can get very busy

Great food, really excellent service.

Lovley small restaurant. Authentic food at a decent price. Great lager. The service was brilliant. Awesome presentation of food, fast service. Would definitely recomend. My wife had the teriyaki chicken which was amazing.

Quick delivery and polite delivery guy.

Disappointed. Sorry guys. First time having restaurant std sushi only to receive rustic bland food. For £45 I was expecting high quality. The bibimbab lacked any flavour and had no taste of sesame, my pork weighed less than 5 grams. One teaspoon. Squid had dead salad. Really disappointed as wanted to surprise wife with amazing meal. Will stick to supermarket made if this is the std. cmon guys what happened tonight?

My favourite place to eat in Banbury

Food arrived very quickly, it was hot & delicious & everything tasted fresh. Super happy and would highly recommend.

Perfect! I love the food, attention, and place. Thanks!

Really lovely freshly prepared food . Quick service...

Incredible food and fantastic service, always. I've been quite a few times now, as I keep taking new people there to try it out too.

Just dropped in for food at the last minute, they were able to accommodate. Service was quick and good and the food was very nice. Would definitely recommend..

Fantastic food. Genuine flavours. Quick service. Lovely quiet atmosphere. We will go back! Thanks Zushi

Brilliant food, quick excellent service, waitress seemed confused that we didn't book although half the restaurant empty but good service apart from that, doesn't break the bank either

all im going to say is they should REHIRER new waitors because they were absouuely horrible never again !

Lovely experience, just disappointed that the Wasabi had no flavour! That can be a game changer for some. Service was excellent and food was superb !!

Incredible food. Beats wagamamas

Absolutely fantastic, lovely presentation and really tasty food

Quality food and fast delivery.

Probably the best restaurant in Banbury! 5* everything :)

Fantastic!! Love the food here it's 5*

Delicious, fresh food every time. We have been here quite a few times and it never disappoints. One of the best restaurants around the area. Highly recommend!

Great place! Excellent food, around £30 per person. Try the Teriyaki Chicken!! Thank me later

Simply the best restaurant in Banbury and the best Japanese and fusion restaurant in Oxfordshire.

Got the vegan sushi takeaway for a late lunch, the staff were super sweet and the sushi tasted fresh. A bit pricey for what you get - it was £10 min spend for card so I paid that I think the dish was £9.20. But considering my local sushi place in London is £6.95 for the same size but with more ingredients and elements inside and lots more flavour, I don’t think this was good value. It could do with some veg tempura or some mayo or something to elevate the flavour and texture more as it tasted basic by the time I got to the last 2 rolls. If I’m in the area again I’d come back to try the ramen or other dishes probably, but prob wouldn’t get the sushi again as that was the only vegan sushi rolls they had. Thanks x

Delicious food great service would recommend highly 👌

Lovely little restaurant. Brilliant food and service. Awesome bibimbap.

Great atmosphere, really chill music, lovely service always really polite. Food always tastes amazing. Highly recommend.

Myself and my wife were the first seated for lunch, and we were served fast, efficiently, and nicely by the lovely waiting staff! Seated by the window overlooking the street, we had our food incredibly fast, and it was delicious, and reasonably priced! I always reccomend this place to my friends and family, and I reccomend it to all who are tempted! The only thing I will say is due to its small size, always book to guarantee a seating!

Always good quality and delicious food

not an expert on Japanese food, but this was great , easy menu to navigate and friendly helpful staff. delicious meal in a stylish setting.

We came from Northampton, it was the first experience in this place. We planned to enjoy starter, mean, and dessert. Our friends were late about 5 min so we ordered a starter. Our waitress was lovely until came over the lady and she started teaching us how we needed to order food in a restaurant. We weren't familiar with the menu, so it's took time for us to choose a meal. But was really rood intarapted and told off that we have to order in one go starter, meal and dessert, also table booked only for 2h. We weren't aware when we booked a table about 2h and felt unwelcome. I thought I'm in a restaurant, not in the canteen, where we could enjoy meals and the atmosphere. So as we spent 1h to travel to this place we had starter and main, took a bill and was waiting when my partner will finish beer to leave. Where after payment, the lady came over and asked us to leave as we were just chatting, and there is new clients coming in, and they needed a table. There were 4 tables empty, also we was there only 1.20min, my partner didn't finished drink, this was the worst service which I had in the restaurant. I can admit the food was amazing.

Had a great meal here the other night. All of the food was delicious and the service excellent. Happy, helpfully staff. Atmosphere was great, it was busy, which made for an enjoyable evening.

Always pleasant to visit. Top food quality top service.

Always fantastic, fresh and delicious food presented and served with elegance and care.

Lovely restaurant, great food. Reasonably priced.

Amazing food, quick delivery and food was really hot. Portion size is really good

Excellent food, good service, nice quiet lunchtime.

Put it this way, I stumbled across this place a year ago, on a summer get away and this year planned a trip from France and ONLY came back to Banbury to eat here.

Not many selection on sushi. Food quality is alright. Would go back again.

Delicious and fresh. Will definitely be ordering again

The food is always amazing, we love eating there, a little crowd most of the times due to how good the food is. Not a place to stay after eating as they are always fully booked. But if you're looking for something different, it's an amazing option.
