Great ramen. In the center of Dundee. They take credit cards. Street parking. Polite service.

The atmosphere here is over the top and shows a real artistic flare and attention to detail right down to the menu design. The food is terrific, fresh, tasty and extremely well presented. Highly recommend

Edit: A surprisingly quick response from the restaurant expressing "disappointment" with my negative review. Well, you're not going to get positive reviews if there's dog's poo in your restaurant, as simple as that. By the way, the waiter explained that "the owners have dogs, so it's probably theirs". But honestly whoever owned the dog that pooped in your restaurant, it's yours to clean it up before you let people in there and serve them food. And - no, we weren't told by the staff that the garden was not open to the public; it was the opposite, we asked if we could sit in the garden and the waiter showed us to the table outside and served us there, we also weren't the only guests dining outdoors - there were two more tables in the garden with people having their meals outdoor, so clearly the garden was not closed to the public, just covered in litter and animal waste. It's a shame the owner is not capable of taking any responsibility for obvious negligence and mistakes, instead being rude to customers who dare to point them out. Bad for business, to say the least.
We went for my wife's birthday. Very good, well presenting food. Great ramen. Variety of options to choose from, a whole separate vegan menu which is a big plus.
However, the waiter seemed quite sleepy and bored (the chef who served us food was lovely though), the garden we sat in was covered in litter and looked more like a construction site than a dining space, and - worst of all - there was a dog's poo in the garden. After I informed the staff, they apologised and it was taken care of, but I honestly doubt I'll be going back there anytime soon, and I don't think I would recommend anyone else to go there.

Service was a littler quirky.
Business traveler dining alone.
Mid week earl ish dining, 6.30, very quiet would have expected this place to be busier, more of the romantic spot by the layout lots of couples dining tables. Good for the catchment in the area I imagine.
Took far too long to get a beer 25 minutes , in the end they got this from the upstairs bar area, my EE phone service in that basement was non existent and no WiFi ( not that important if you?re having a romantic meal)
Food was of reasonable quality sushi I have had better but the Ramen was nice, not much chicken but good flavours.
Waiting time coinciding there weren?t many diners was longer than expected (again not an issue if you you chatting to friend or partner)
Price was about market average.

One of the best places in Dundee. So authentic! Great service and ethereal atmosphere. Oshibori has made me fall in love with ramen and their cheesecake. ?

First time visiting Oshibori and giving you an honest review.
Service was alright but please speak a little louder, so quiet like a mouse.
We did not feel comfortable sitting near to an open door with a draught and felt we were being watched constantly via staff at bar. The aroma that was drifting out of the kitchen was making me more hungry which was a plus we were all hungry. Japanese dumplings could have had more seasoning in them a bit too bland. 2 of us had Teriyaki chicken Ramen , breadcrumbs were not fresh , far far too much black pepper in ours and the broth very very bland, my husbands Ramen broth was also very bland. I make authentic Japanese Ramen all the time so know what to look for in a hearty authentic Ramen.
Sadly too early for me to have a sake so I asked for a Martini and Lemonade , and was served some kind of cocktail concoction which I never drank. Chairs cushions were not clean so I exchanged mine.
My daughter felt uncomfortable being placed at a table which faced directly to the bar and staff.
Our bill came to £79s ,however I really should have paid what the meal was worth and not the bill price.
As a Japanese restaurant I expected your Ramen to taste amazing and it was not.
Hopefully you will take this on board changes are good and positive for future.

Lovely place to go with your loved one. Absolutely beautiful interior along with excellent food. Ramen dishes especially are the best?

Sashimi is fine, fresh, and has a nice texture.
Tempura ? decent ?
The most disappointing is the Eel with rice, the menu written that they will use sushi rice, but they are not!
If they use Japanese rice, I definitely will go again!
The staff is very polite and patient, environment is good but not too Japanese style!

I walked in to a restaurant with less energy than a geriatric care home, a foreshadowing prerequisite my sub-optimal evening. I could order sushi more flavourful from a Deliveroo ghost kitchen, the miso had no tofu and the cheesecake was Tesco Basics at best. I?ve had better service from an NHS receptionist and the green tea, a basic staple which could have finished a stale evening in a flavourful, caffeinated way, tasted like dishwater from my Hotpoint. I would kindly direct all future prospective customers to a delightful restaurant approx a 10 min walk away, Tony Macaroni.

This is a must visit for anyone who likes sushi and stops in Dundee. Incredible food for very decent price, especially during lunch time. I've been here a few times to date and have never been disappointed. Lovely atmosphere, pleasant service and amazing food. What else can one ask for?

Unfortunately we didn't get to try the food. We sat for 20 minutes without be asked for a drinks order. During this time we overheard another customer asking if their food was on its way and if they could get their drinks. So we thought better of it and left. They did seem understaffed as most of the empty tables had not been cleared. Appreciate this isn't the servers fault. Perhaps management need to consider increasing the number of staff. I haven't rated the food as we didn't get to try any. But from what we could see it looked really good.

Food was delicious, expertly prepared and presented, the restaurant decor and ambience is of very high quality, and the service was extremely professional.
