KIBOU Oxford

New contemporary Japanese and sushi restaurant brings a slice of Tokyo-chic to one of Oxford’s favourite neighbourhoods. Located on Little Clarendon Street in Jericho, this gorgeously transformed Victorian venue will whisk you away to the vibrant streets of Japan through its striking and colourful design, and range of delicious Japanese sharers, hot dishes, sushi and sashimi.

With seating for up to 100 guests, there are heaps of different and unique areas within the restaurant to enjoy a meal, from the light and airy conservatory with cosy booth seating and feature neon lighting, to the atmospheric dining room with views to the open sushi kitchen. There’s also a more relaxed cocktail lounge with a steel-topped cocktail and spirits bar, and a leafy Japanese-inspired garden.

For those looking for somewhere a little more secluded, then upstairs you’ll find an exotic private dining room with space for up to 12 covers.

Food at KIBOU Oxford is just as decadent as the venue. Dive into eye-catching sushi and sashimi sharing platters, A5 grade wagyu, crisp tempura, rich katsu curry, heart-warming ramen… and much more. Plus, while away the afternoon working your way through their inspired cocktail menu, or try one of their curated sake flights to learn more about Japan’s most famous beverage.

The perfect location for all lovers of Japanese food, and those yet to try, plus an ideal venue for catching up with friends and a romantic date night to remember.
