If you love Korean / Japanese style dishes you'll love Oba! The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Get the Korean fried chicken if you have a sweet tooth! It's incredible

A great place to eat before going to the Arena. Food is superb with a great choice of authentic dishes. Staff are all very friendly. Prices are good value (just not the discretionary 10% service charge). Have eaten here before, will eat here again and would highly recommend

I cannot say enough good things about oba! We arrived late thanks to trains but the staff were friendly and welcoming and said it wasn’t a bother. It was my sisters birthday and there was balloons, a card and birthday confetti - what a lovely treat! We were treated like queens so much so that I feared I’d accidentally booked a different ‘package’ or something. Nope! Just amazing service. We had the bottomless dinner package which had a shared plate of starters and then we chose chicken katsu and pork belly for our mains. All the food was hot and fresh and tasty. The drinks were fab - a list of cocktails and Prosecco all the time we practically rolled out of there. We will be back! Thank you so much for such a lovely evening.

Food was amazing and authentic, atmosphere was cozy and warm, and staff were lovely. Will 100% be coming back!

I want to thank Oba for being such a unique restaurant. Not only is the food delicious, the staff absolutely amazing and the atmosphere one of a kind but the staff at Oba went their way to make me a surprise for my birthday. By the time I have arrived at the restaurant, the table was decorated, had balloons prepared and was gifted a card wishing me happy birthday (the sweetest honestly!!). After finishing the fantastic food (would recommend the kimchi fried rice and topokki- scrumptious!!), i was served a birthday drink and the staff sang happy birthday to me which i was really touched by. Thank you so much to the staff and chefs for making my birthday special. Will forever remember the experience!!

So glad I found this place, it's beautiful. I was surprised it wasn't as busy as it deserves but it was a Sunday afternoon. Staff are so, so lovely and very attentive, their service was 5* and the food... Insane. I'll be going back as soon as possible! Very fairly priced too. Highly recommend. Thank you to all at Oba for a lovely, lovely time.

Incredible service from all staff and amazing food, will definitely be returning! The cocktail was gorgeous. Restrooms were extremely clean. The only thing I would change is to have Korean and Japanese music playing, but that was such a tiny detail overall! Thank you for a brilliant birthday meal.

Cocktail quality excellent. Efficient and friendly service. Only feedback is to offer a more.varied main course menu for the bottomless brunch (as one person didn't eat pork and is getting a little bored of chicken katsu, despite it being delicious!)

We were a party of 9 and had a fantastic experience at Oba. The service was outstanding. It was a party members 30th birthday and they decorated with balloons and table confetti and the birthday girl got a free cocktail of her choice. We were sat upstairs where it was fairly quiet and the staff were on hand for everything we needed. The food was super good. Everything came out when ready and everything was lovely. The cocktails were very good. Wine fairly priced. The meal was topped off with a macaron each. We really enjoyed it. Most of our first time at Oba but won’t be our last. Thank you for your hospitality.

Food was heated in microwave, main courses were awful, not even real chicken for the price, one main course was nice (the eel). We traveled far to come here thinking it would be authentic Japanese food due to Japanese people working there but it was just heated up standard food.

My friend had the sushi and pumpkin croquettes which were good. Sadly my beef japchae was a massive disappointment. Had no flavour and the beef was incredibly dry. Not sure if that’s how it’s meant to be but I left disappointed, after I mentioned this to the waiter (because he asked us) nothing was done and we also got added a discretionary charge to my bill. For that price point I won’t be returning.

This place is great if you fancy something a little different. Plenty of choice for either a light meal or like us we had two courses. We shared the sharing platter and it was excellent served with three super yummy dips. We then both played safe with the stir fry with kimchi; for me the assorted seafood which was spicy and tasty, and for the hubby sliced pork belly stir fried with kimchi which was slightly less spicy. The beer, house white wine and americano were also fabulous. Different and reasonably priced as a pre show meal on a Sunday. Would definitely go again.
