First time trying edo...the tempura was amazing, the beef sukiyaki was delicious I did order extra mushrooms but it didn't seem like extra, but other than that super duper delicious and definitely ordering from here again 💙💙💙💙💙

I didn't know what to expect when I walked in. It reminded me of a food court place in the mall with seating. Very friendly and good selection. The daily special is incredibly inexpensive with a good portion. The table looking out the big windows was nice to watch people go by while I waited. I had the beef bento box which comes with rice and 2 sides I choose edemame (1/2 c or so) and tempura shrimp (2) Recommend for quick lunch or take out for a value date night. Will definitely go back and get the sushilicous platter - just so I can say sushilicous. forgot to take photos

I usually order the sushilicious platter for takeout and it's always fresh and delicious. This time I dined in and ordered the same along with a chicken & beef teriyaki bowl, no rice and only veggies. The restaurant is cozy and yet offers decent seating options if you want to dine in. Food was served hot and fresh and the warm and friendly staff took extra care to ensure that our order was served properly. They even offered complimentary fountain drinks as it was a very busy night! Both of us enjoyed the chicken and sushi and left with a full tummy and a smile on our faces. Will definitely be back for more 😊

I've been going here on and off for about 3 yrs . Today i only choose to get double chicken. No mushrooms and all vegs. I live out of town and let me say i found the bag to feel light on the way out. Got home and to my very much disapproval it was light. Either the owner is cheaping out on the customer or the cook behind the grill gets a bonus for skimping the customer this is sad and insulting i payed 18$. either i want a full refund or a dish with at least half more food. Im very upset with this as i may just never return.

It was really fast, affordable, friendly and great service. I loved their menu. Just a lot of fantastic and easy to choose from. They had a lot of variety. From sushi to soups to cooked meals (Rice meals, noodle meals, Bento boxes) to starters etc. I was craving sushi last night so I went there to order their Easi Sushi Platter. I loved it. So delicious. I cannot wait to try their other meals. I am so sure this place will become a staple for my takeout meals.

Fast and friendly service. I was greeted as if i were Norm walking into Cheers. This is the type of fast food I should be eating. Japanese cuisine that is delicious and prepared quickly. Wheelchair accessible parking and entrance. Prices are fair and the teriyaki sauce is some of the best I’ve ever tasted. I’m not the biggest sushi fan, but I am a massive stir fry supporter. Kids menu and vegetarian items are also available.

Best sushi on this side of the city. Quality is not quite there but we have so few options in Thunder Bay. Fast and friendly service at least keeps me going there for a box from time to time. Would recommend going to superstore for 5star rolls.

December 23, 2023

worst sushi in town

December 23, 2023

Walked in and was the first customer behind skip the dishes. Asked for double chicken plain on white rice. After proceeding to wait 20 minutes, have two orders out first, and to not get double chicken and pay for it I was incredibly disappointed. Being a long time loyal Edo customer I was excited to have another dining experience there and was extremely saddened by this experience. Edo Thunder Bay will no longer be getting my business. Ever again.

Ordered orange chicken for lunch, I m not sure if I got the wrong order or if that s actually what their orange chicken is supposed to taste like. It tasted like soy sauce teriyaki, no orange flavour at all, really gross. Bowl of white rice, 3 pieces of broccoli, couple other veggies in there, 6 little pieces of chicken covered in inedible sauce for what, $15? Won t be going there again. I didn t end up eating it, I fed it to the trash can.

★★★★★
December 23, 2023

The food is good and I love their sushi, Ive also tried many of their other dishes and I often enjoy it. They could use a less sweet option for sweetened drinks, as half-sweet was still much too sweet and makes me squint. Overall though I would definitely go again and I love their foods. And the man working had a very nice smile.

Apart from the brown rice, the grilled vegetable bento box was inedible, and they got the sides I ordered wrong. There is nothing remotely Japanese about their food. The sushi fell apart and the fried vegetable rolls tasted more like chinese food and were greasy. The edamame were tasteless. A bento box in my experience usually includes a salad and miso soup- this didn t. The staff however were very nice.

I went last evening for the first time i have ordered Bento Box, the staff was unaware of the quarries a customer can ask. I have ordered noodles which was filled with only Broccoli and just Broccoli, no taste. Second i asked for spring role they have given me some veg role. There was lot of confusion as they own were unaware of menu, dont know if they have soups, if they are serving chicken with noodles. Bad experience. Thanxx for your reply, but i spend $22 -$23 , please if possible try to reimburse the money please. I will appreciate that.

I think there is room for improvement. But if I am hungry Ill eat. The sushi rolls has to much rice and the noodle bowl didnt taste like I would expect in my past experiences with smiliar dishes. Only reason I leave 3 is to encourage those improvements. I will visit again for sure but not my first choice at the moment. I love this type of food and I do hope it becomes more correct or authentic taste flavors.

This is a disgrace to sushi.

December 23, 2022

I wont be back..I got the bento box which was supposed to be a teriyaki sauce stir fry. The meat looked as if I had chewed it up and spit it out, the stirfry was 90% noodles and worst of all the teriyaki sauce tasted like GRAVY...it was disgusting. I dont understand how an Asian style restaurant could call that teriyaki sauce. Sushi is pretty low grade, if you want cheap sushi go to superstore and buy from Bento. Much better quality for the same price. Definitely steer clear of this place if you dont like to be unsatisfied after spending $30 on dinner.

December 23, 2022

Not sure how they missed it. Dead bugs right on the top of my soup. Pretty sad no quality control. Was easy to see right on top. First and now last time going here.

So it s definitely not upscale sushi, nor should you expect it to be but very good! Always fresh. Better than grocery store sushi and the bento boxes are a pretty good deal!

December 23, 2022

The edos quality is dreadfully poor. I used to work there, so I am familiar with how the food is prepared. They hold the pre-cooked chicken and beef for much over an hour, which is completely unhygienic. Even the remarks you can see were written by their own staff members. Even on the day I left Edo Japan, the owner withheld 35 $ from my salary check because I forgot to give him the edo t-shirt, which was only worth of 5 to 10 $.

Had to wait 32 minutes for food from the time we ordered. This was because of all of the Skip The Dishes orders they were currently filling. They asked us to come back 30 mins later to pick up and then we had to take out as there was no where to sit and eat.

Not Bad sushi at all. Honestly a place I prefer to go to for a quick sushi pickup. Staff is Friendly and the food is great, but This is the 2nd time I have gone and my Salmon was browning. I used to go here before work every day because it was just the perfect place. But twice in a row my (raw) fish is starting to brown is a bad sign.

So.....We were so excited to try. Nice to have a Japanese lunch spot near work! I got the shrimp bento box with extra mushrooms, dynamite roll that I had to pay extra for and tempura shrimp. I also got a side of yam tempura. I was so DISAPPOINTED with the yam tempura. It tasted like beer batter yam ... I make tempura at home all the time. We go to wasabi, eat Sushi in Toronto and Minneapolis. But that was NOT tempura batter. It was gross. I threw it out after I ate 1 piece. However the sizzling shrimp bento box had nice flavour... I don t know what kind of noodles I got they weren t ramen but they were good.. It would have been nice to get soya sauce with the wasabi for my roll. The 2pc side of tempura shrimp taste like the kind that come out of a box. All in all my meal cost 28 bucks before tip. Not so sure I d go back.

December 23, 2021

Not only is this the worst sushi in Thunder Bay, it is also the worst sushi I have ever had. Period.

December 23, 2021

If I could give it zero stars I would, but for now you guys get one star. The noodle tasted like instant noodle and the broth was awful. I feel like my opinion holds more weight because I am Asian. Overall, just a bad experience.

December 23, 2021

Was just OK food. Very slow service and staff seemed a little overwhelmed. Portions were extremely small. I was still hungry after I ate my meal and 2 spring rolls. Very disapointing , I had high hopes. Maybe they will get better after some growing pains , but for me they are a no.

The food was good, but I had to wait a very long while to get it which already irritated me. Theres a staff shortage but the ones present did the best they could given their circumstances. Be ready to wait a bit for your food especially if you order online as they give preference to those in store

December 23, 2021

NOT Recommeded! Order was ready 30 minutes later than scheduled. Was cold, vegetables were not cooked, everything was very salty. No sauce was added, if teriyaki sauce is what they rave about, maybe they should make sure it is added. Wont go here again.

★★
December 23, 2021

Good customer service but very long wait time, sometimes 25+ minutes. Somewhat ridiculous for a fast food restaurant. Need to improve time from order to getting your food or I don t see them surviving in Thunder Bay. Been in here for already 20 minutes and watched 4 people walk out cause of wait time. So sad because the food is good but I don t know if it s worth the wait.

Average at best. Similar to Monchu wok quality

December 23, 2021

Just went there today for the first time, and had a high expectation for the meals as we had ordered from other Edo locations in Canada. The meals that we received were uneatable like somebody who doesnt know how to cook made the meal with cheap vegetables. We called back to the store and was going to give them some feedbacks in a polite way. However, the staff who picked up my call was arguing with me that we ordered other meals. We gave them all the information that they needed to look up what we ordered but still they didnt want to face the REAL PROBLEM. If you are looking at my review, please save your time from terrible experience.

New to thunder bay although giving a good service

December 23, 2021

Placed order online at 8:15 pm. Store open until 9pm. Said order would be ready at 8:40. Went to pick up the order and when I arrived they told me they could not make part of the order because it was too late in the evening to make Sushi??? They said I have to order something else??? Now dont you think the Rocket Scientist would have called the phone number that I had provided with the order and told me that??? So as I was standing there trying to order food for my family, a couple more customers walk in behind me. I could here them conversing over what the foul smell was in the place. I turned around and explained it was the counter staff. The smell of body odor overwhelmed the entire restaurant. I then proceeded to try and order some other things off the menu, but all I got from the staff was it was too late in the evening to make that... at least thats what I think they said because it was really hard to find someone working back there that spoke fluent English. I just told them to refund my credit card and ill go somewhere else. Couldnt do that neither. So I basically walked away with the food that they had made. Well when I get home and we started to eat, we found the food to be disgusting So I dumped what I had in my bowl into my dogs dish. The dog took took one sniff and walked away.
