Edo in Lambeth

Excellent and authentic food Great staff and a good Japanese feel to the place The food was really good and the seating at the whole thing off Recommended

I usually love this place, it's reasonably priced and the staff are super friendly, plus the sushi is great. I was a little disappointed with my most recent visit as the ramen which I usually order had changed for the worse - the ramen noodles were the instant kind you buy in a packet and the katsu chicken seemed like one of the frozen breaded chicken breasts you can buy. Would have also been good to have some 'toppings' or veg like bok choi etc as it was quite plain. Not sure why it's changed, maybe change of ingredients to cut costs, but hopefully next time it'll be back up to full standards.

All dishes lacking flavour and quality. The ramen in particular was like a 5 minute ramen you can make out of a packet and served with sliced packet ham. Very disappointed!!! Will not order from here again or recommend.

This was completely delicious. We ordered online and we were not completely sure what was what but everything was really lovely. We're so excited to fine this place near to where we live and it will become our new go to for takeaway food! Tasted fresh and lovely, no criticisms whatsoever. Thank you!!!!!!

This Japanese restaurant is located in South London. The first time I came here with a friend, we were presented with a tray of salmon and tempura teriyaki along with rice, salad and a miso soup. The staff is dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. The tables are decorated traditionally Japanese as well.

I was trying a different (delivery) sushi place cos my local one is closed. Stodgy bland rolls. Not good enough.

Really nice food, good value, nice contemporary feel , cosy, not crowed, good for veggies and meat eaters alike, really nice staff, very clean.

Mycket god sushi men också många andra intressanta rätter. Superbra service. Allt mycket gott och vällagad.

Can’t speak highly enough of this place - went on a date last night. We got chicken udon, tuna sashimi, spicy edamame (amazing), duck in garlic sauce and prawn tempura. The food was sooo good, best Japanese I’ve had in a long time! The service was really friendly, with one of the waiters attempting to teach my useless self to use chopsticks haha Can’t wait to go back, absolutely loved this place - thanks for a great evening!

Love this little place. The sunken tables are great, the food was excellent value and the service was very friendly. Authentic food, great tasting and great atmosphere all in the heart of Crystal Palace.

Salmon sashimi had an unpleasantly mushy texture - clearly far from fresh, sashimi-grade fish. Meanwhile, the so-called char siu/chashu pork served on top of the miso ramen was in fact (incredibly chewy) boiled ham - complained about this to be told simply that ‘that’s how we make it here’. Thankfully they did at least take the soup off the bill.

The tables at the back of the restaurant took us by surprise! They have floor cushions, but also dug-outs so you can sit western style. We had lovely Teriyaki chicken to start followed by Ramens. All very lovely, also green tea and sparkling water. Great service.

This place does fantastic sushi, nigiri and sashimi. Very fresh and delicious fish. We’ve ordered a few times for delivery and it is a delight

I meant to do this long time ago as I always go to Edo. What else can I say, good food , good service ,lovely staffs. Highly recommended.

Fantastic - unfussy- local Japanese restaurant. Similar to eating in Japan, without the long haul flight! The service is top notch, it’s reasonably priced and the sushi is super fresh.

Popped in after the football for a quick bite, the atmosphere was lovely and the service excellent. The sushi was nothing more than average but reasonably priced so it was fine. Definitely have had better Dragon Rolls elsewhere but would probably give this place a second chance.

We were staying in Crystal Palace for 4 nights. On the first night we did the usual thing of wondering around to find somewhere to eat, one of my girlfriends son's is into Japanese food and when he saw this place he asked if we could give it a go ..... and we did ! It was quite early when we arrived so not ever so busy. We were sat at one of the tables that is sunk into the ground which gives the impression your kneeling but without the pain ! What a fab idea. The waiter was very attentive and looked after us really well. Having chosen our foods, I went for the Yaki Tori for a starter and a chicken Katsu curry, they were served quickly and I loved the way they were presented. The dishes were nice and hot and really tasty, we all swapped a few bits of food around and have to say everything I tasted was fantastic. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant or going back myself, so if you're in the area go give it a visit.

The food here is always fresh and delicious with friendly staff who are helpful and quick. A bit pricey, but then good sushi always is.

It's one of our favourite local sushi places. Lots of variety, and freshly made to order. Really good for takeout too if you fancy staying in.

No escribir comentarios a menos que el lugar es realmente bueno o terrible. Este lugar es consistentemente estupendo - Comida realmente agradable y limpio y el personal es muy amable y educado y muy servicial. Largo pueden continuar sirviendo a este lugar la mejor comida japonesa en cp

Quería escribir esta crítica hace mucho tiempo como estado en el restaurante muchas veces.

Es una pena escribir esto ya que me encanta la comida japonesa y viven y tratar de apoyar nuestros restaurantes locales tanto como puedo. Sin embargo, he estado en el restaurante en varias ocasiones y ahora he tenido una barriga después de comer allí. Tuve Literalmente acabamos de terminar mi comida y me gallardo al baño. Sólo puedo imaginar que es de gérmenes o personal no lavado de las manos, ya que no durará más de 24 horas, pero todavía no es una gran manera de terminar una fecha.

鶏のから揚げ美味しくて、もう何度も食べに来ました。店長は日本人ではありませんが、結構話しかけてきて、寿司ネタは2－3日おきに早朝買い出しに行くとか、カレーは作り置きせず、注文を受けたら個別に作っているとか教えてくれます。ロンドン中心部より安くて、美味しい日本食が食べられますよ。

Un restaurante de estilo muy sencillo y básico, donde el enfoque es claramente en el sabor, no la decoración! Pero a menudo es una buena idea de cómo la comida va a ser! Edo no decepciona. Sushi precioso fresco y una amplia gama de oferta. ¡Pruébalo!

Este es un pobre facsímil de un restaurante japonés. Es caro pero te lo esperas de restaurantes japoneses, pero este lugar no tiene los ingredientes o la habilidad para producir buena comida japonesa (y después de haber estado allí sé lo bueno o incluso aceptable parece). Esta comida no sería bienvenido en cualquier parte de Japón.

Simple setting, lovely food, friendly staff and good value for money. I had the tofu bento and it was extremely fresh and tasty.

Always enjoy food at this restaurant. Dined here last week and enjoyed the Tempura and sushi dishes that we ordered. Tempura was crisp, light and tasty, just as it should be. Sushi set was good quality and tasted delicious. Chose wine with dinner that was tasty and complimented the food. Will definitely return.

This is an unpretentious (non-authentic) well priced restaurant in Crystal Palace.The food is fresh. The fish tasty and the service slow. We eat here often with family and friends. This isn't' Mayfair nor St. James' so you won't get the real Japanese experience nor extortionate prices some of these places charge. Don't expect authentic original Japanese food, I think the staff are possibly Thai (a guess) but my cat has more in common with Japan than the staff and owners. Don't come here straight off a plane from some Japanese fish tasting experience or you'll think it's rubbish.So why do I like it so much? Sashimi and nigiri always fresh. Tempura cooked brilliantly. Soups good. Reasonable prices, good beer. Service slow, but they do lot's of takeaways. Staff friendly enough, some are a bit lacking in customer care but they try. I will keep returning as a) I can't afford most of the Capital's Japanese restaurants b) I hate the pretentiousness of said restaurants c) we live locally and d) have been coming here for years and have never felt ill.

Ask anyone what they remember about Edo and they will say the seating. As a token gesture to lardy brits, the owners have engineered the place to have the knee wrecking visuals of a traditional Japanese restaurant but without the pain of actualluy sitting on the floor. Except this isn't in Kyoto, its in the up and coming/ vibrant/ exciting/lively/grimy/ violent/ South London suburbette of Crystal Palace. (Select whatever estate agent term suits your experience best).This place is actually OK. Its not * A famous Japanese restaurant in Mayfair*, and that's a plus point, I have not seen any any Chelsea footballers here with their lively/sparkly/bubbly/vibrant WAG girlfriends. Just locals nomming a wide range of half decent Japanese styled food and beer. There is nothing massively exotic about this restaurant or its location, the menu is friendly, reassuring and well priced for a family blow out. The usual suspects rear their head on most orders we could see - Bento, Ramen, Sushi and Tempura- and its not too bad all things considered. The Sushi was passable and rice moist to the touch, the bento large enough to force the children to leave half their meals and require a lie down on the floor. The Tempura freshly cooked and crisp, the pickles in the bento sour enough to make an impression.Drinks are again nothing surprising, but even that is a good benchmark - there is nothing that can beat half decent sushi and a bottle of Sapphoro or Ashai.Lets be honest, if you have managed to get the car parked on the 30% gradient hills around Crystal Palace Village as it is now called, then you will not got far wrong heading to Edo for an evening meal. Far, far better than the pizza and pasta fare that the rest of the parade seem to proffer each night. No, its not truly authentic and you will not see Geisha girls or white shirted, red faced leathered salarymen performing karaoke with their bosses, but not everyone wants that degree of authenticity- sometimes a half decent Japanese meal in a convenient location as a not outrageous prices is all you are after. You can take your spouse to * A famous Japanese restaurant in Mayfair* for your 25th anniversary if you wish, but trust me, if you live South of the river, you will probably pop into Edo for your next excursion into the world of Japanese food and enjoy it just as much as you drunkenly selfie the night away and post it up on face book . OMG LOL ROFL

A dining highlight in Crystal Palace - and South London. We particularly enjoy the spicy tuna rolls and teriyaki of all varieties.

Me and my family regularly go to Edo. It is the tastiest Japanese food I have ever had so far, and I've tried many different places. Every time it's spot on and the staff are beyond friendly and warm. It has a lovely cosy atmosphere of a small family restaurant.I strongly suggest to anyone wanting a delicious calm meal mid-week or weekend.I am Vegan and my family aren't but we always have a great time. Do try grilled aubergine from the starter section, it's a winner.

We've passed this unpretentious restaurant many times and finally ate there recently. Generous portions of freshly cooked food. An interesting menu with lots of vegetarian options. There were two real stars: the delightful, friendly waitress and the delicious home made sesame ice cream. Other customers appeared to be regulars. I'm not surprised.

Beef with garlic is outstandingPork/Asparagus deliciousPrawn and Veggie tempura is a treatSushi/Sashimi is fresh and fantasticStaff are friendly, fun and helpfulPlum wine was a new experience for me, deliciousThe service can be a little slow because they are busy with many orders for takeaway in the evening but you don't notice once the food comes because it's outstanding. One of my very favourite places to eat. Thank you to everyone who works there

I had a really bad hangover today (one of those also feeling anxious and flinchy ones), so my friend suggested we go to Edo for some food. I was glad she suggested it, for it is a find.I had the Katsu pork bento and we shared some starters. All delicious. I loved the sauces. My friend had a salad, I wasn't in a salad place so didn't try any of hers.The waiter was friendly and quite funny too. A good place.

My wife and I are regulars at Edo and we are more than pleased with this quirky little restaurant. The staff are extra friendly, the food is of fantastic and the portions are more than generous. Couldn't ask for more, really, except changing the horrendous soundtrack that seems common to all oriental restaurants :)Quite surprised to have seen some of the last reviews as by no means is this a place you should miss in Crystal Palace.

Ordered takeaway from here - never again. The prawns were clearly out of date. I tried to eat it before I realised and literally couldn't swallow. It is going to be a long time before I can order any sushi again, and when I do it won't be from here

After a year in Japan, I don't claim to be an expert, but I know Japanese food apart from random stuff labelled as "Japanese". This falled under the later. Would have been slightly acceptable if it actually tasted nice.......didn't.Not a good experience.

My partner and I ate at Edo this evening and had an excellent meal. We had various nigri and sushi, vegetable tempora, miso soup and the duck teriyaki bento box, it was all really good. Everything was very fresh & tasty and the service was efficient and friendly. We'll definitely return. Also good to know they deliver.

Ела тут только вегетарианские суши и осталась очень довольна!Все очень свежее и много начинки.Есть зона, где можно есть, сидя на полу - обязательно вернусь попробовать!

The title of my review says it all really - this restaurant is not all that. It's Ok for a quick bite to eat with friends but not for more. Food was OK but nothing to write home about. Sashimi was inelegant - huge slabs of fish on shredded radish - some made me gag as tough, all dishes came with salad of chunks of iceberg lettuce - not much variation or elegance to them, and other food was unmemorable and a touch bland. Dipping sauce was plain soy sauce. All rather mediocre I'm afraid, which is a shame as the staff seemed nice.

Edo is a fantastic Sushi restaurant in Crystal Palace , it has been long established .I had the seafood Edon soup and a selection of fresh sashimi , all fantastic .Service good and they provide home delivery too :)

Love this place! The sushi is fantastic and the decor is great. The speed of service isn't great but look past that, enjoy the meal, eat away and you won't be disappointed.

Had quick early dinner. Sushi and Sashimi Bento fantastic fresh, beautifully presented . Modern, bright Japanese interior and authentic staff. All in all perfect for quick meal early evening.

La nourriture est vraiment bonne et de qualité, là dessus il n'y a absolument rien à redire. Certains plats sont un peu cher (sushi...) mais c'est le cas partout. D'autres ont vraiment un très bon rapport qualité / quantité / prix (le Ramen par exemple). Je suis resté dans le coin 2 semaines et j'y allais régulièrement. J'y retournerai plus que volontier si l'occasion se présente.

Our favourite Japanese!We order from here so regularly, it's impossible to just pick out particular dishes.Everything we have from here is lovely, but if we had to say our top picks, it's the katsu curry and chicken yakatori!We just love Edo when we want a take-away. It's fantastic!

We were in Japan a few weeks ago, and were hankering after a good Japanese meal in London, so we decided to give Edo a try. And sadly, it didn't come up to scratch. Well, the seafood platter wasn't bad, the scallops and prawns and whiting and salmon were OK, and the veg and the broth they came with were quite nice, as was the miso soup, but the beef and egg donburi was pretty awful, tasteless and under-seasoned and limp and served with absolutely the wrong sort of rice. In Japan, they serve that lovely sticky tasty rice with a lot of dishes, the sort of rice that's easy to pick up with chopsticks. Not at Edo, they were using a long grain rice that was impossible to eat without using a spoon. The soy sauce on the table was awful too, really cheap and nasty, and the service was glacially slow; they seemed to think it was more important to get takeaways out than serve their sit in customers, it took half an hour from ordering to being served. Sadly, I think we're either going to have to go posh in the centre of town to get good Japanese food, or learn to cook it ourselves at home...

We were on the hunt for local sushi and this was the only place we found. It felt a bit of an unknown entity, especially as we arrived and it was empty. But, as soon as the food came we knew we were onto a winner. Great sushi plain and simple, and a delicious bento box with duck. My boyfriend got something slightly different to what he was expecting, so it's worth asking for info about any dishes you're new to. Overall though it was very well cooked and you could tell it was all natural and healthy. The staff were delightful and welcoming. What's more, the restaurant gradually filled up throughout the evening with many seemingly happy customers enjoying their food.

Restaurant was recently refurbished and looks quite nice now, which prompted a visit. Unfortunately not a good one.Service is beyond slow as priority is given to the take away orders and customers in the restaurant are clearly not as important. 50 minutes to receive 2 bentos is unacceptable.Waiters are so busy preparing the take aways that trying to get their attention to ask for something is beyond challenging (another drink, where your food is, the bill..good luck!) Food was edible but I agree that the oil used to deep fry should be changed as the tempura is possibly the heaviest we ever had.To top it off they were trying to overcharge us (2 beers £14 instead of £7) which really was the ultimate insult. Will not go back.

The sushi rolls are really tasty, tastes fresh and great portions. I tried the other menu choices but thought were less well served. However, the desert - fried ice cream - is delicious, you should try this one!It's hard to get deliver by the time they are use to mention on Friday and Saturday. Overall, the service is ok for delivery as I never tried eating inside.Based on this, I recommend this sushi restaurant.

my grandaughter took me here, because she loves the idea of sitting on the floor, but even she had to admit that the food is not that good, and the place smells damp. i have to say though that the staff are great.

A lot of choice, not explained too well on the menu but the food is sublime and the waitresses are really friendly. Can't wait to go again!

Whenever I want to remember my time spent travelling around Japan, Edo is a nice little reminder - it has regular western tables and more traditional Japanese ones, but with a well for your feet- Most westerners couldn't cope with a true Japanese eating experience of sitting on the floor. The menu is authentic and make sure you try the plumb wine, which reminded me of my 'merry' times across Japan!

Went second time there and there speed of service has not improved. It took 40+ minutes for our mains to arrive. What arrived was mediocre.The excuse of delay seems to be because the kitchen is busy, well it's dinner time so should be expected! While you wait you can see loads of take away meals being fulfilled so people in the restaurant are not a priority.Food is not on the cheap side.On the good side is that 'Service Charge' is not included by default, so given the terrible service you can skip on that.

We have always enjoyed visiting Edo so much. We generally choose mostly a large selection of starters to share. The food is light and delicious and the service is courteous and friendly. The restaurant is a family business and has a loyal customer base. There is a delivery service too which is always a treat when the weather is cold and wet!Great to have such a lovely Japanese restaurant on the doorstep. Well done Edo!

This was my first experience of a Japanese restaurant. The food was light, delicious and had a healthy feel. The seating arrangements were also interesting. We sat at floor level, but there was room for your legs underneath.

Orderd a takeaway from just eat. Ordered salmon teriyaki bento boxChicken Katsu curryFood came within the hour specified. Bag was swimming with sauce. Food was low quality the chicken looked like it came from a freezer and the oil hadn't been changed in the fryer. There was still skin underneath and generally looked of a low quality. The curry sauce that came with it was more like a soup. The salmon looked as though it was a low value cut from asda. The teriyaki sauce well what wasn't lining the bottom of the bag was runny. The miso sup had split and looked disgusting. As you can tell I wasn't happy with the standard of food. After an arguement with a member of staff on the phone they finally decided to give a refund but would not send their delivery driver to come and get it. He had to be compensated for his journey and we would have to pay. We continued to dispute this but finally decided to go nd drop the food back. The atmosphere in the shop was just as bad the owner was rude and condescending thought that this level of service was okay. I would never eat at this restaurant again. It's expensive for what it is. Better off going to yo sushi or wasabi.

The sashimi was fresh and delicious and I'd recommend. We ordered ramen, tempura and seaweed salad which were all very sub par. The tempura batter was thick and soft, the ramen noodles were overdone and the soup too salty (and I like salt) . It might be a different experiene eating in but for home delivery I would stick to the sashimi.

We visited on a Friday evening. It took the waitress over 30 mins to take our order for drinks. Food took a long time to arrive and wasn't as ordered. The staff could be described as rude and the manager wasn't setting any examples with his customer service. Generally poor and won't be rushing back soon.

I don't usually write reviews but after just ordering our takeaway from Edo, which we collected, I had to share. Veg noodles tasted awful - like it had been made using old oil, with cold tasteless soggy tofu. Nothing tasted fresh. Egg fried rice was congealed and tasted weird. Sushi was not fresh. Veg Gyoza we didn't even touch, it looked like it had just been born.We might as well have opened the bin and chucked in 30 quid. Never again.

He venido a este restaurante 3 veces de una semana de vacaciones y me encanto la calidad y el precio. A mi personalmente me gusta mucho la comida japonesa y cuando voy a otros paises la busco por que me parece una comida que en encualquier parte del mundo puede ser exquisita si encuentras un sitio como este.

Such a shame that the food in Edo is so disappointing. I've been three times now and each time the food is less good and the freshness, quality, portion size and value gets worse. I won't be going back and though I love sashimi and sushi I can't recommend this place. If you're craving Asian food then there's a number of better options but if you want Japanese I'd head into London.

I went here with some friends on a punt in February and have returned 3 times since, This place is a hidden gem. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the service is attentive and the food is always excellent.The bento box is great value, as are the hand rolled sushi. edamame beans and tempura veg a firm favourite that are always excellent here.Basically, go, you won't regret it.

A friend took me to this restaurant recently. He used to live in Japan and recommends Edo as being inexpensive (for Japanese restaurants) but good. I had a Sushi starter and a Bento main course, with Teryaki salmon and prawn tempura. (My apologies if I have not written it correctly). The food was tasty, very fresh, filling and yet not overfacing. The service was friendly and helpful. I left very impressed and will definitely try Japanese food again.

I was looking forward to this place having read the good reviews. Overall I was quite disappointed. Some of the food didn't taste very fresh, we had the chicken satay and the deep fried tofu. However the octopus balls encased in light, fluffy mashed potato were the star. Mains were chicken ramen soup and pork udon soup. Those dishes were your usual run of the mill, nothing special Japanese scram. Have tasted much better. A can of Sapporo was nearly £5 too! Don't think we'll be going again - prefer the Japanese restaurant in Tooting.

Food is very good , service excellent , if a little over priced . Would go back , the curry is excellent as are the tempura prawns .

Ordered takeaway for delivery, and they turned up with it almost an hour late. When i called to see what was going on they were very unhelpful, just said 'the guy has just left (40 minutes late at this point), no apology AT ALL and no offer of compensation. When the delivery guy turned up and i asked why it was so late, he said he'd been stopped by the police!! But that that was only for about 10 mins... so I have no idea what he was trying to say exactly. Annoyed me further when he then said, 'it's not my problem'. Really disappointed, we didn't eat until after 10 o'clock.

We have ordered from edo many times and we are used to the fact it takes quite some time however two hours is simply awful. Called after one hour to be told ten minutes. Called another forty minutes later to see if the driver was perhaps lost and to request a small goodwill gesture to compensate for the long wait. I was met with rudeness to an extent that I was extremely upset, followed by swearing and then they hung up on me. When the food eventually arrived the bentos were cold, the portion of meat and tofu much smaller than previous orders. The salads were not present at all and the edamame were so old I had to throw them away. I have never received such bad service and will never use them again. A rare night in together ruined from their bad attitude and rubbish service.

I walked past this restaurant recently and having read the rave reviews took my family there for a meal. A choice of Western or Japanese style tables is offered. The Western ones where we sat are near the door which opens straight onto the street. As it was a bitterly cold night and delivery meals were frequently being taken out we were subjected to a less than comfortable dining experience as we sat in a freezing cold draught for most of the evening. The bags for delivery were piled up on an adjacent table and I just felt out of place as an eat in diner. I would describe this place as more of a top end Japanese cafe. That said the food was great and is good value for money. We has a mixed Sashimi dish, 2 bento box meals, Chirashi Don, a mixed seafood fry miso soups, beer, saki and cokes and the bill was less than £90. You can eat well here for about £20 a head which certainly beats top Japanese restaurants hands down. The service was acceptable and the lavatories fairly clean, just don't expect to be waited on hand and foot by kimomo clad beauties!

The people here are just lovely but you don't go to restaurants for the people. Sashimi & nigiri are fantastic, always fresh. I make sure to try a new one each time I go, scallops were surprisingly tasty! Tuna tataki that I always have is wonderful and cooked to perfection every time. Teriyaki cod is very tasty & the noodles are always good, shame the black cod was taken off the menu but there's so many other dishes, it doesn't really matter. Love the boats that they serve the sushi selections on too. Could do with getting some decent wines as they're not great, but won't stop me going back again & again :-)

Nice welcome, fresh fish, fun seating arrangements. Alternatives if you don't like sushi. We had a large family gathering here and found it a very jolly place to be.

Really Good. EDO is as good as the best London Japenese Restaurants. Just Go & Try & You will have great meal.

I love sushi but thought that good sushi was only availible in central London where I work, however one day I came across Edo on the internet and decided to give it a try as it is only a 20 minute drive from home. I absolutely love it, from the sunken tables to the wonderful service. The sushi is fabulous - lots of choice and good servings sizes with reasonable prices. Over the past year or so i have been many times and also used their take-away service. I would definitely recommend Edo and have taken friends there many times. I am so happy to have Edo in the local area and hope it remains there for many years.

I wish I had eaten at Edo sooner now I have discovered it. I picked up a menu a year ago for takeaway after discovering I liked wagamama/yo sushi types of eateries. One evening I decided to go for a takeaway and Wow! It was so delicious, so I decided to take my partner to the resturant and were highly impressed by the relaxed atmoshphere, the attentive staff and most of all the most delicious and fresh prepared food. You must have the tempura and the goyoza. Amazing. We are both vegetarian but love this genre of food, and the tofu curry was so delicious. I'm so glad I've tried it. We've been going over to wagamamma all the way over to canary wharf or in town, but now we've found this we'll hopefully be going again. You can park in crystal palace easier after 7 in many places, and is not too hard to park on a week night.

Great Service, the food was amazing, lovely atmosphere!

The food is good, the sushi very fresh, and the service was friendly. It took quite a while to get our food though as they seem to have a thriving delivery/takeaway service, and the ambiance is sadly lacking. It wouldn't take much to improve the esthetics: a paint job, a few decorations, and get rid of all the delivery bags in the restaurant area. Also, I wouldn't want to sit at a sunken table, who wants their food to be at the same level as people's shoes?

We eat here frequently - either in the restaurant or take-out. The fish is always very fresh and the tempura is delish. The staff are very willing to help, and Edo is very good value for money.

Bento boxes, sushi and all manner of Japanese food can be found here. Quality wasn't great but well presented and plentiful. Sunken seats are a nice touch until you try and get out (especially after a sake or too). Lighting quite bright and think they're really targeting the delivery or post/ pub market.

http://www.edolondon.co.uk/Amazing restaurant in Crystal Palace. Friendly and charming.I go there once per month and I´m never disappointed. Do not forget asking for the sweet mushrooms!

This is a gem of a Japanese restaurant.We have gone there many times and taken friends experienced in Japanese food. We've nearly always had a good experience and so have our friends.The menu isn't very big but they do most things on it extremely well. Miso soup can be ordinary but this is the best I've tasted. The temperu is just the right texture. Japanese food can be very expensive because of the cost of the fresh ingredients, but due to the location outside central London the price is very good.We've taken our baby there. They are always very friendly and welcoming, but unfortunately do not have a high chair.Parking is difficult in the Crystal Palace triangle so it's probably worth taking public transport.There's so much restaurant competition in Crysatal Palce that restaurants are rarely full so we've never needed a reservation despite the quality of Edo. I'm sure it would be packed in a more central location.If you like Japanese food and live in south east London you must try this out! However, if you're looking for a lively atmosphere this isn't for you.

Fresh is what you need to make good jap food and that's what they have here. Although the owner is not japanese but they still deliver a good value meal in london.

this is a clean if spartan japanese where you sit on a raised floor with your legs beneath the table. the tempura and sushi/sashimi are nearly always superb, my partner and i have been coming here for a couple of years - there are not too many japanese restraunts in south east london - and we keep coming back. we have tried many of the restraunts at the top of the ta list and find edo hard to beat for value, and the tempura rarely bettered at all which, along with the dragon roll, we order every visit. what does surprise me is how quiet it often is although they always seem to be doing a brisk delivery service.
