Pan-Asian restaurant Wagamama Oxford is tucked into the heart of the city at 8 Market Street, right next to the Covered Market and just off Cornmarket Street, making it a convenient stop whether you’re shopping, sightseeing or studying.

The menu is broad, flavourful and designed to suit a variety of tastes. Around half of the dishes are plant-based, and vegans, vegetarians and gluten-sensitive diners will find clearly marked options. Guests can choose from steaming bowls of ramen, fragrant curries, teppan-fried noodles, donburi rice bowls and an array of shareable sides.

There’s a satisfying balance between hearty comfort food and lighter, fresher dishes, making it easy to find something that fits your appetite. Desserts and refreshing juices round out the experience.
The Oxford branch also shines when it comes to accessibility and comfort. A portable ramp is available at the entrance, with staff on hand to help where needed, and the space includes a disabled toilet. Families are well catered for with baby-friendly facilities, while practical touches like free wifi, braille menus, induction loops and magnifying sheets help make dining inclusive for everyone.
