6/10The ramen is always just OK. However the management has been steadily declining to the point of being scammy. The early bird ramen program for example was implemented extremely arbitrarily - they can decide the program is just suddenly ended

7/10harish the head waiter was smooth, but we had to wait 40 mins after ordering before food arrived. it was more annoying that guests who ordered after us were served first, even though we were only a party of 3

7.5/10A lot of streamlining could be done to service. This is one aspect of Japanese management they sorely need to adopt

9.5/10I thought I had to travel to Japan to get miso tonkotsu ramen as good as this.

4.5/10Possibly the rudest service ever received. No thank yous, no smiles nor friendly welcome. But happy to charge 12.5% service charge. Food was ok, but not worth the cost.

8.5/10Food is excellent but service has room for improvement. We booked a table and arrived on time, and saw a few tables available, but we were asked to sit on counter. I requested a table and noticed no bookings at other table at all . It was 2:30pm Sunday at Oxford. Finally i and my wife got a table very close to the next table of two. This is clearly not the best table we could get with booking

8/10Early evening dinner for 2 at 5pm. Both ramen and Katsu curry were both tasty and reasonable sized portions. As were our Bao bun and octopus starters. Despite booking with Yums, the restaurant initially told us they were only accepted in their London restaurants, so II settled our bill in full. After speaking with the manager, he agreed to refund our 2000 yums in the form of a £50 note. All goid in the end and would re-visit if in Oxford in the future. The restaurant was surprisingly busy for 5pm on a Monday.

9.5/10Just got back from an early dinner at this place and had to write this review. This was my first time eating Japanese cuisine and so I went with a friend and an open mind. What a great first experience! The service staff were attentive and so polite and courteous… rushed off their feet as it was pretty full but still smiling and always approachable. The food exceeded my expectations - we both had the vegetarian sweet potato croquette curry with rice and it really was so tasty and satisfying. We also had the cucumber starter and it was fresh and flavourful. The raspberry mocktail I ordered was the only thing with which I was unimpressed. It was nothing more than a normal glass of some cordial with sparkling water which for £6 was quite extortionate. I’ll be back for the food again for sure!

9.5/10We booked a table via The Fork. We were welcomed promptly and shown to our table, the waiter explained the menu and left. No one came to take our order for quite long time. We thought we have to do it by scanning the code on the table… eventually husband went to see a member of staff and placed an order. The restaurant became very busy hence waiting time for food was longer than expected. Starters very tasty, ramen too however the waiter mixed up the bowls… no room for dessert.

7/10Food was good, not excellent but a decent ramen. There’s not much to say about the service, it’s adequate for this type of establishment. They do keep you waiting an extraordinarily long time to acknowledge you’ve arrived, which, is a little disconcerting.

10/10Lovely food, super lovely staff. Highly recommend it! I loved that the staff say “Irasshaimase” like the restaurants do in Japan, and my husband loved their signature dish. Five stars!

7.5/10Lovely food, but service is often slow. It’s easy to feel forgotten while the servers focus on clearing tables. Maybe they just need more staff during the busy times?
