Editorial Review

This venerable midtown restaurant knows its clientele and aims to please by offering reliably fresh, modestly generous sushi and familiar, well-made Japanese mains, such as beef, shrimp, chicken or salmon teriyaki. Edo’s specialties are tasty yet unchallenging; the sushi specialties mostly involve cooked (often fried) food, such as lobster or soft-shell crab tempura sushi. Besides the lavish use of Edo’s trademarked spicy “dynamite” sushi sauce, much of the menu also shows a propensity for sweet sauces, as well as more than occasional splatters of wasabi mayonnaise. Service is excellent, brisk and friendly; there’s a nice selection of sakes and appropriate wines available. Omakase menu $100; 48 hours’ notice is required. Mains $16–$37.
