If you desire tasty home-cooked style Japanese food served in a cozy setting then look no further than Edamame ! For the last 3 years (2017/18/19) Edamame has been endorsed by the Japanese government as Oxfordâs ONLY truly authentic Japanese restaurant. W

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).On the plus side, the waiters are friendly and the service is quick - it kind of has to be! The same couple (English husband, Japanese wife) have run the place for 21+ years. The stir fried strips of pork loin marinated in soy and ginger is fantastic, as is the wakame seaweed and chopped cucumber. Drinks are not limited to Japanese fare - while my wife had Asahi, I opted for the German Köstritzer Black Lager which is superb.Now we know the drill we are curious to try the Thursday only sushi menu.Thank you for posting your review about your visit to Edamame. You are correct to point out that our opening hours are unconventional. Our system of menu rotation is unusual, and the restaurant itself is undeniably small and narrow. We truly hope that our guests are able to enjoy their meals here without feeling the need to âabide by a set of rulesâ, so may I respectfully suggest it might be better to state that guests should be open to a new kind of dining experience.....? There are no rules, itâs all just rather different. It is certainly a delicate challenge for us to try to minimise the wait for guests queueing at the door whilst maintaining swift, friendly and courteous service to our guests sat inside. Occasionally we might ask (always very politely) guests who are already sat to move to a different spot to help improve the seating efficiency. We rarely if ever ask to move guests who are part way through their meal. Although such a request might be unusual at other restaurants at Edamame it forms more of a âmutual back-scratchingâ exercise which can often result in an improved situation for the âmovedâ guest. After consulting with my staff it appears that you were asked to move from one of our large tables where you had been subjected to the âlatter-day Stentorâ and were offered one of our small tables to have to yourselves, where you were able to sit with your wife far more comfortably than before and undisturbed by unknown co-diners. Sadly for us the bulk of your review is negative, but we are very happy to read that you enjoyed some of the food at least and your beers !We hope you will give us another try. You mention you are curious to try our Thursday evening sushi night. We will certainly do our very best to make your next visit a more positive experience, and we hope to see you here again one day soon.With best wishes from us all at Edamame

We phoned up to check there were spaces, arrived at 7.45 browsed the menu and had food by 8. I've never had such an efficient food service. The sashimi was so nice and fresh, the yali udon flavoursome, the katsudon scrummy. It out does any Japanese restaurant I've ever been to in the uk. Dear Emma,Thank you so much for your kind review, we really do appreciate this. Our staff always try their best to make sue our customers are served quickly and politely. So glad you enjoyed the Sashimi, Udon and Katsudon.Hope to see you again soon.Many thanks.Taberu :)

Nice restaurant with plenty of space indoors (the tables are suitably spaced) with dining outside the restaurant too. Very friendly and quite fast service although we had to reorder drinks as they seemed to forget our order. Very nice food and itâs not all raw fish but some very nice cooked food as well.Dear Derek P,Itâs fantastic to read your comments and we are so glad you have enjoyed the food. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind Regards,Sticks'N'Sushi
