Edo Ichi Japanese Restaurant

WHY GO

This is not an oasis of calm in the way that the more expensive Japanese outlets tend to be. Instead, it’s about having a good time and trying something different.

TATLER TIPS

The menu is massive. There are no specific signature dishes, as everything on the menu is considered to be an ambassador of the restaurant’s quest for perfection in all areas.

• The more experimental dishes are often much better value. Try the deconstructed sushi with “volcano” sauce. Having the sushi rolls underneath a spicy sauce full of fresh, crunchy seafood might require some getting used to for purists. For those seeking robust flavours, it’s essential fare.

• While there are the standard dessert offerings, the chefs sometimes create delicious new desserts on the spur of the moment. It’s always good to ask if there’s a special for the day.
