Freshest sashimi I have ever had, although the atmosphere was a little dry. We went because we had bought a coupon for a sashimi boat for two and a bottle of wine. The sashimi was a lot smaller than the picture on the coupon, and they had run out of red wine. Bar and waiting was a little inefficient, possibly because they are inexperienced? Change the atmosphere to make it feel warmer, and polish up the service and it will be a winner, but because of the above glitches I only give it three stars. Maybe in a year’s time it will get four?

Have visited this Restaurant twice, once for dinner (23/11) & lunch (11/12) dinner was a la carte we had grilled pork, ox tongue,octopus balls with its dancing fish flakes,mixed tempura,raw snapper on the advice of the waitress, in fact the fish was so fresh one could think it just came out of a live tank.assort. sushi,chicken and edamame.What a feast every dish superbly cooked and presented.
Lunch was their famous Oedo set lunch, it could not be faulted green salad,miso soup,mix tempura, sashimi & sushi,assort. tempura, rice,side dishes of dipping sauces & condiments.Great range of Sake tried 2 types Jumai Tatewaki (dry),Karantanba(very dry) Definitely we will be back.Very reasonable for Japanese and excellent food and service.Only weakness was in the dessert section not much choice.
Have no qualms in recommending this establishment to the most discerning diner.

fantastic food, lovely environment and extremely pleasant staff..

Will be back soon!

Our family of four went to this restaurant for lunch last Saturday. Admittedly, the stark white exterior does look odd in contrast to the very lovely ‘Japanese’ interior of this restaurant. However, I have driven past the location for years and the outside has always looked like that as it was, and probably still is, a part of the motel downstairs.

We all decided on the Ji Bu Ni Set. There was a lot of food served in that set, and it is very reasonably priced for what you get. I didn’t finish my meal, and the others struggled too.

The quality of the food was great. Everything that was meant to be hot, arrived hot. The salads were crunchy and fresh. The flavour of the food was excellent. The noodles in the soup were not overcooked.

The staff were wonderful. Chef worked in full view of patrons preparing sashimi. They girls encouraged my daughter to speak to them in Japanese when they found out she was studying it at school. We were also shown their beautiful private dining room for large groups.

Overall, the meal was extremely good and very reasonably priced. The food presentation is very tidy and appetising. The staff were friendly and professional. The dining experience was very enjoyable.

Whilst there, we perused the dinner menu and it looks impressive. We will definitely return to Oedo in the future.

We took 6 to dinner tonight, we ALL loved it. Superb range of food, delicious, speedy, fabulous friendly waitress who explained the menu thoroughly and helped us choose what we liked. Real range of guests with us and they all enjoyed teir food and said they would be back. We live nearby so expect to see us bi-monthly! Great to have good Japanese food in Epsom/Greenlane.

If you can get past the awful pseudo Mediterranean exterior you’ll find a lovely bar & restaurant decked out in traditional Japanese style. We love Japanese food & were pleased to see that the place was nearly full on a Tuesday night and that most of the other diners were Asian – always a good sign.
We sorted through the menu and were pleased to see a couple of dishes that the other places we favour didn’t offer. From jellyfish to Harumaki roll – an unusual but delicious “spring roll” filled with prawns, bacon and cheese. Dishes arrive Japanese style, in no particular order, for all to share and are served on lovely Japanese pottery plates and bowls.
The only complaint I would make is that wine glasses & a couple of plates had finger marks on them which was very off putting. Overall though a very good meal and we left very happy to the usual Japanese shouted farewell.

Gorgeous food, and the mood of the place is so fabulous. It’s brand new, and is stunning inside. we absolutely loved the incredible flavours: crisp, sweet & juicy tempura vegetables in their light batter was our starter. And then my partner & I shared a crunchy pork Katsu which was really tender. Then my favourite: a delicious grilled eggplant topped with cheese, and finally a grilled hokke (a smallish sized butterflied whole salty delicious fish).

Both the surroundings, the food, and the service make us want to go back there again as soon as we can get another baby-sitter!

One point for improvement, would be that I’m really glad I looked at the picture menus on this site before I went, because I needed those pictures to figure out what to order.

The place is brand-new with lots of aesthetically charming features including the purpley-blue tone of lighting. And, I LOVE that the whole staff, chefs included call out a friendly greeting to guests on arrival. How cool!
