Fine food and unlimited booze- served every day of the week.
Tucked away on the corner of Merrion Street, Oba Leeds is serving some of the best Korean and Japanese fusion dishes, with a range of vegan-friendly meals available.
This hidden gem offers a warm welcome from the the moment you walk through the glass doors. The bright hues of sunflower yellow and bright blue mirror off the panelling and glass windows and match the service, always delivered with a smile, to a tee, since opening last autumn.

Now firmly settled into the Merrion Centre, Oba has decided to bring a bottomless brunch experience to the table: with two courses and three drinks on offer.
Available from midday until 4pm each day, grab a bite over a full two hour sitting.
For starters, expect a delectable choice of beautifully presented dishes. There's Korean fried chicken, Karagge chicken wings, whitebair with chilli and cumin all served as small plater, or cucumber maki sushi rolls and kimchi spring rolls on offer for your first course.

The mains are packed with just as much flavour. We'd recommend the Chicken Katsu Curry: it's a classic crowdpleaser, but Oba's version of the dish is one of our favourites in Leeds.
There's also Ginger pork belly, tofu katsu teriyaki, assorted seafood with kimchi in spicy sauces and a Kinoko butter on offer: it's an assorted mushroom dish with vegan butter and sound utterly delicious.

Now none of these dishes would be complete without a side of rice or chips, so take your pick before devouring these generously-portioned dishes and take a sip of your unlimited drinking options.
The drinks list for this bottomless is short and sweet: but we're glad. This food needs to be appreciated with complementary drinks, so the carefully selected options of Prosecco and raspberry lemonade seem like the ideal combo to us.
If you're feeling adventurous and want to get your weekend (or Tuesday) truly started: there's also unlimited green apple sours on offer. Grab as many as you can over 120 minutes for a refreshing experience.
If you fancy something Korean, something Japanese and everything with top notch service, we're big fans of Oba every day of the week: but now that there's a new bottomless in town, you'll see us in here a lot more often.
As part of their introductory offer, Oba is offering 20% off all bottomless bookings this week. On their Instagram page, Oba said:
"Bottomless Brunch is now available to book at Oba Leeds. Enjoy 2 courses and bottomless drinks for 2 hours for £30 per person! To celebrate the launch of our Bottomless Brunch - we are offering 20% off all bookings until 11th February."

Popular New York-style pizza pop-up confirms opening date for first takeaway in Leeds
Clementine Hall
New York-style pizza pop-up, Edges Pizza, is set to open in Leeds.
Last summer you may have had the privilege to enjoy a slice of Edges Pizza at one of their many pop-up residences across the city.
Their longest stint was at the sun-drenched roof terrace of Green Room, and it's safe to say their pizza went down an absolute treat.
Since then they've been a little quiet, but all for good reason it seems.

Edges will be opening their doors in Leeds city centre on Thursday 18 June in a vacant railway arch at Fourth Court on Bridge Road in Leeds' Holbeck area.
It won't be your average pizza shop though, you'll have to preorder for now but trust us - it's worth it.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Edges said: "WE FINALLY HAVE an opening date, Thursday 18th June! All pizzas are pre-ordered like we have always done, and are slightly limited for now (still looking for helping hands!!!). The pre-orders will open the day before at 12pm via our Storekit link.
"We’ll be then opening Wednesday to Friday, 4-9pm and Saturday & Sunday 3-9pm. If there are still remaining slots left on the day, you can order up to an hour before the collection time. We have limited seating, for those who travel and would like to eat in. There is plenty of car parking space, to pick up your pizza, too.
"We can’t wait to see you all soon & more importantly, we can’t wait to start making some good food for you again."
We can't wait to get our hands on a coveted Edges pizza slice again, so you best believe we'll be there at the opening with bells on.
