    Best sushi spot in Oxford and honestly best sushi I've had all around. Food is amazing! Service is great! Ambience is cozy. P.S. Lane Kiffin approves

    Kadoma tuna

    One of my favorite restaurants in Oxford, amazing food as always. Unfortunately I found a barcode in my Kadoma tuna and i'm extremely grossed out. Probably won't be back. Servers are very kind, mine offered me a refund and to remake it but the service is always insanely slow and the food takes 9 years to come out. I swear they would go out of business if the food wasn't good.

    This place was disappointing. Took some colleagues here because we were told it's popular among the locals. The service was great! We were greeted by a friendly staff and they were constantly checking in on us. The food was meh and for the prices we paid, it felt...rushed. There is a specific customer base they cater to, but for foodies...you can skip this location. The low rating is because we dined inside and there were swarms of flies next to us. I get that the heat becomes unbearable and maybe they try to accommodate the insect friends. But it wasn't appealing to me at all.

    Soft shell crab salad. Delicious
    Annette M.

    Excellent service. We ate on the patio which was cozy and surprisingly warm with heat lamps on a cold and rainy day. First time here so we tried some interesting items. The tempura, soft shell crab salad, and chicken wings were all delicious and something we would order again. The miso soup was unusual and tasted oddly fishy. The rolls were a bit disappointing. All in all we would come back here but not for the sushi.

    Hands down, my favorite restaurant in Oxford. All of my foodie sensibilities are completely satisfied here, each better than the last!! To start, best Blackberry Mojito you've ever had. All juices are fresh squeezed. Look for Joshua in the bar area, incredible knowledge ability to discern what you will love! Next, Jinsei Tacos are clutch if you like avocado, and if you don't, suck it up and eat them anyway, they're amazing. Literally everything else I've had is excellent - Atsui roll - yum. Grilled edamame, smoky heaven. Red dragon, oh yes please!!! There is definitely more - just go.

    Kadoma Tuna is the best thing here!!

    The best sushi in oxford hands down. Everything is so good and fresh! The tempura fried green beans are to die for!!

    Sashimi

    Sashimi is so sadly thin you can see through it. I have had the same thing all over the world and I have never seen sashimi cut so thin and yet charged full price for it. Shameful! The rest taste fine

    Easily the best sushi in Oxford. Try the bubble gum or the red dragon rolls. Blackberry mojito is unbelievable.

    Not the best sushi I've had, but the best in Oxford for sure. The tempura green beans are awesome!

    This place is hands down amazing! Great sushi and the Kobe Rock lets you cook your own Kobe beef! Great place with a great atmosphere.

    Is there any sushi rolls or options that are not spicy or raw?

    Yes there are a number of non spicy and non raw items. Look for tempura rolls, spider rolls (fried soft shell crab). They also have buns and burgers.

    I had a very disappointing experience at Kabuki Sushi Bar & Steakhouse in Oxford…read more When I placed my order, I clearly told the employee twice that I was ordering meals for both of my granddaughters and myself. She assured me that she had all three orders. However, when I got home, I realized one of my granddaughters' meals was missing. To make matters worse, I had specifically asked for my receipt, but it was never placed in the bag. I immediately called the restaurant to explain what had happened. I then asked to speak with the manager, hoping the situation could be resolved. Instead, I was simply told that he was sorry, but he couldn't remake or correct my order. Mistakes can happen, and I understand that. What disappointed me most was how the situation was handled. As a paying customer, I expected the restaurant to take responsibility for the mistake and make it right. Instead, I was left without the meal I paid for and without a satisfactory resolution. I hope management will improve communication, ensure orders are checked before customers leave, and provide better customer service when issues arise. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.
