About Oba Korean & Japanese Kitchen & Bar

Oba Korean & Japanese Kitchen & Bar is a Korean restaurant inside the Merrion Centre in Leeds, serving a fusion menu that runs to around 120 dishes. Korean fried chicken and sushi tacos sit alongside beef noodle dishes, and set plates such as spicy stir-fried pork belly with rice cake and fried dumplings, or gyudon with deep fried squid rings and miso soup, cover both the Korean and Japanese sides of the menu. A bottomless brunch is on offer, giving groups a fixed run of food and drink to work through together. Seating is walk-in, with no reservations taken, so tables are given out as they become free. The team marks birthdays with cards and balloons brought to the table.

Customer Review Summary

Bottomless brunch draws repeated praise, with reviewers citing generous drinks that were never left empty and staff who helped teach chopstick use. Close behind, the Korean fried chicken and sushi tacos get highlighted, along with beef noodle dishes. One birthday visit mentions a free drink and cards from staff. A few note prices run on the higher end.

    “The food was really tasty, the venue was not too crowded but still lively with a good atmosphere. I 100% would recommend it, we will be coming back. …”

    “Visited for the first time today for our mum’s birthday and really loved it. They had a birthday card and balloons setup - looked like they had a few birthdays that day and we all got cards which was so cute. On top of that they gave her a free drink! Staff were really lovely and attentive. Food was good portion and delicious, though on the pricier end. Would visit again!”

    “We went on a Saturday night without reservations and we were seated straight away. Delicious Korean and Japanese fusion food. Tucked away in Merrion Centre, its easy to miss but im glad we came here. Friendly attentive staff. Massive generous portions. Highly recommend the korean fried chicken and sushi tacos. Also the beef noodle dishes are really tasty! Will be coming back 😋”

    “We went to OBA as a group of 6 for a bottomless brunch back in April after I had found it advertised to me on TikTok and it was amazing! We couldn’t fault it, service was fab. The staff made sure there was no glass empty, always coming over …”
  • Beth Bradley
    “Me and my friend went for bottomless brunch on Saturday and it was fantastic. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and even persevered with teaching us how to use chopsticks. The food was absolutely delicious and such a good portion. There was plenty of variety of drinks and they were never empty, at £38 per person, it’s one of the best bottomless brunches we’ve been too. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their dishes.”
