I bought a groupon and went to have dinner for two. Price was excessive. I wish i could say the food or the customer service was worth the price but that wasn't the case. There is no savings or real discounts when paying the bill,...be warned.More

In the old days this place had top notch food. But last year it wasn't as busy and our large group noticed the food and service had deteriorated. Contacted them to let them know and the owner promised to look into it. Never heard back....Then they had a fire months ago and have yet to re-open. I'm not sure why I'm writing this review except that they have other locations.More
Had dinner there last night - wonderful service and the food was excellent. We had several appetizers (4 seaweed salad, tuna and tofu hotpot) and 2 assorted sushi plates for the main. All was very good. We had the dark chocolate fondue for dessert and...it was perfect - light but delicious. The servers were very attentive and I really liked how they explained what the different types of seaweed and sushi were. Highly recommend!More
We went to this location spontaneously and it was almost empty. Food is presented very well, but it's not as tasty as I expected it to be. EDO is also not cheap - so we were a bit disappointed. I used to go to the...Spadina location many times in the past. Overall a nice place for business lunch.More
Slow Monday night with restaurant almost empty. Took over 20 minutes for first dish to arrive and it was not our appetizer but rather the main. Apologies galore and they bring out our appetizers 5 minutes later which we refused. Slowest service I can ever...remember in a restaurant. Took 10 minutes to get a cup of coffee. Place is drab, dull and dark and not remotely Japanese looking.More
What makes you drive the Gardiner in summer time? An expiring voucher you paid lots of dough for eons ago and also forgot; that's what! So we took a 5 o'clock reservation and we were probably the first diners in the place. Karen the maitre'd...was charming and kindly gave us the "best" table in the place, right by the windows. As we were having the prix fixe the only choice was between two entrees: miso, blackened cod or kobe beef--so we ordered one of each. The amuse and appetizer courses were delicate and tasty although I thought somewhat similar in that they were both custard type and very small. On to the two entrees. The miso cod was very well done, tasty and properly cooked. The Kobe beef, not so much. A bit tough here and there and slightly overdone to o ur taste. Kobe beef in Japan melted in our mouths; not so much melting here. Although we enjoyed the desserts the modified chocolate fondue was not Japanese and t he hot green tea on a minuscule serving of ice cream was too soon a sea of green.More
I was in Edo in Bayview village Toronto. (I didnt find it on Tripadvisor list). Fills like nobody want you there. It was around 8pm Saturday, not crowded at all. We sit our self, then we try to find menu by ourself. 10 min later...waiter came, took the order. we never got half of the stuff we ask, even a tea! Over priced, considering the quality of the food. And I get more help in McDonalds then here. I am upset, not only because of worst experience ever, but at this place was very nice Japanese restaurant before, where waiter would remember you, and what you ordered last month.More
Edo is my main go to sushi place in Toronto. It has good quality sushi. It also serves butterfish which a lot of places do not. The Eglinton location offers a sushi bar while the Bayview Village location does not. They can also deliver but...order in advance as delivery can take a long time.More
We went to Dinner on a Sunday evening for our Anniversary. We got there early and service was great. The five course summerlicious menu appealed to us and we were not disappointed. The Asian Caesar Salad was amazing as was the sushi dish. Everything was...beautifully plated and the chocolate fondue dessert was great as was the sundae. The choice of saki was large and we loved the way they served it in red waterfilled shot glasses.More
My recent meal at EDO was spectacular in terms of food. The sashimi was unbelievably fresh and the yellowtail tuna tataki with mustard miso sauce has been on my mind ever since. The ultimate basic, the miso soup, was terrific as well, which is always...a good sign. There is no doubt that very talented chefs man the kitchen and sushi bar. There would however be room for improvement in terms of service and atmosphere. Something is missing... and it's a shame because with seamless service and an updated decor this restaurant could jump up a category. Nonetheless, I will continue going to EDO for an unfussy dinner, with corresponding expectations.More
Because I am a Groupon member otherwise I will never knew about Edo Japanese restaurant. According to my line of thinking, establishments that join this kind of group buy programs are looking to increase their business by reaching out to existing customers and at the...same time attracting new ones to showcase their quality products and good value, and if it is a restaurant, their good service too. So I purchased Edo’s 45% discount coupon for a 3 Courses Prix-Fixe Oyster Dinner for two at their Bayview Village location. Me and my wife made reservation last week and upon arrival were promptly seated in a comfortable stall. For drinks we ordered Japanese tea, which were presented in a tea pot but prepared before hand in a large pot in the kitchen. Unfortunately the server never offered to have our tea pot refilled. We were then presented with their regular menu, a wine list and a special menu, which I suppose is only for Groupon customers. Our server explained to us about our dinner for the evening: two oyster appetizers to choose from the special menu and an entrée of 12 live oysters to be shared. I was wondering where is the third course? It turns out that we have to share the two appetizers as well! So I asked her whether the appetizers are good enough to be shared, the answer was “it depends on how hungry you are”! Since this is a coupon for dinner, may be the appetizers are of good size. We should have known better that the size of Japanese dishes can never compete with traditional American dishes. Then again we never thought that live oysters can serve as entrée, let alone six per person; but we knew that before buying the coupon and came prepared. Well, you learn something new everyday. For appetizers, we ordered Oyster Tempura and Oyster Florentine. The tempura batter on the oysters was light and oysters were fresh. The sauce on the oyster Florentine was a bit too sweet to our liking. But we were amazed to find out that each consisted only of three oysters! Luckily, as we have been sharing our food for the last thirty five years, we each had one and a half oyster plus half of the garnishment without any argument. We basically cleaned up the dishes, except for the shells. Ended up we have to order one additional entrée, the Chirashi (according to the menu it is “slices of sushi on a bowl of rice”) for C$19. It came with slices of raw fish, not sushi, on a half bowl of rice. The fish were fresh, but the rice seemed to have been sitting in the kitchen since lunch time. When presented the bill, our server was nice to say that we do not have to include any gratitude as she (may be instructed by the boss) had already done that for us. How smart! We were surprised to find out that the gratitude she included was 18%! Not that her service had anything to do with what we are going to pay, it is the fact that no where in the menu that said we have to pay a gratitude of 18%! We were actually considered to pay her 25%, well, too bad. Before we left, the waitress asked us of the Three Courses which one we like most. I told her it would be the live oysters. What about the tea? My wife asked me later, well, if they put tea leaves in the pot and not charge us C$4, I would consider that too!More
We have been going to Edo for years and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were there tonight and it was most disappointing. The new menu is very weak. The service is atrocious . We complained about the service and they offered us a free dessert. After...waiting 15 minutes for the dessert we left. This is the last time we will ever eat at Edo. How can you destroy a brand in such a short period of time? Pretty sad!More
Yes it was Mother's Day but that's something you can staff for well in advance. Delivery times were ridiculous - drinks - 20 mins, appetisers - 40 mins, entrees - 70mins. Nothing complex to excuse the delays - tempura, futomaki, chirashi etc. When the latter...arrived without any unagi that was the cream on a very disappointing cake. One high spot was our waitress but she's leaving for Vietnam - who can blame her?More
Thank you for visiting EDO on Eglington. We value and appreciate your feedback.
I often go to Edo with family and friends but this past visit I noticed a big change. My husband, myself and two other couples met here for a nice meal... Or so we thought. The service was really slow and I noticed they changed...the menu. I thought new ownership? But they assured me it was the same just changed the menu. I ordered what I used to. The food started trickling out. We waited and ate and waited and ate. The quality of the fish has changed from previous experiences. It did not taste very good and neither did my husbands chicken... Not impressed. Nobody came to check on us and I was waiting for the rice that came with my dish. It never came... About 20 minutes later finally service! I told her the rice never came and she asked me if I wanted it now? I said no. She said, "well normally it comes on the plate." I said... "And?" That was all... Megan was our servers name and I am not sure she could handle a party of six. We spent a lot of time waiting and flagging her over. I used to love this place but I don't think I will be back for a while.More
We seldom come to this part of town. Thanks to Winterlicious, we were introduced to Edo. Do take this opportunity to sample their creative and well presented menu. Only 1 more week left. I took a glance through their regular menu. Lots of choices and...price is good. There is construction along Eglinton Ave. But don't let it deter you. Green P parking just behind the restaurant. Very easy to get to.More
