Beautifully plated without being pretentious, this restaurant delivers truly authentic Korean food that lets the flavors speak for themselves. The bibimbap arrives sizzling hot with all of the accompaniments, crisp vegetables, and topped with a perfectly cooked egg, the japchae noodles are light, and balanced with fresh vegetables, and the sashimi deluxe is stunning in both presentation and quality. Every dish feels traditional, thoughtful, and refined without trying too hard. A true not-so-hidden gem. 맛있습니다 (mah-sheess-sum-nee-da) -- absolutely delicious. read more

Today was my first time trying Edo! It is such an intimate and cozy place. My server was extremely polite and personable. I ordered the bulgogi and kimchi jjigae to go. It's always interesting to see what kinds of banchan places offer, and I love that it's usually different each time. I absolutely loved the radish kimchi!! Such great flavor. The bulgogi was good, but it maybe needed a little more salt or something extra? It felt like it was missing just a tiny something. Still very pleasant overall! When I got home, I had to try the kimchi jjigae. Have you ever had something so insanely good it could make you cry?!? It tasted like it was made with so much love. There were so many different flavor profiles happening at once. It was a truly magical moment. I already know what I'm ordering next time I go, and I really hope the same chef is there. 10/10!!! read more

I have really enjoyed going to this restaurant because the food is good and affordable, but after today I won't go back because I overheard the proprietor treating the staff very disrespectfully and cruelly, and I can't support an establishment like that. It is important to me that food I eat be prepared by a good and kind person, who treats workers respectfully. But many thanks to the young woman who served us, who was wonderful at her job! Please knowv that there are people who see you and appreciate your good and hard work. read more

Best kani salad, bibimbap and bulgogi in the area! Sushi rolls are phenomenal and the place is always clean and neat! We love swinging by early and during the week as due to there small size it fills up quickly and we aren't a fan of take out for Asian food. It's always best when fresh in restaurant in our opinion! Staff is friendly and knowledgeable always. read more

Small restaurant with limited parking. We came for lunch and had no issues. Casual vibes. Bon chon items all tasted great! Service is quick and family serving is very friendly. Have not been here for years so wanted to give it another chance. I go into NYC, Westchester and Jersey for Korean. One of my favorite cuisines. The pancakes were great. Not the usual thin crispy ones I am used to but still very good. The iced tea tasted old so could not drink it, and the beef had no salt. I took it home to add that. Possible they did not marinade the meat long enough as it had no flavor. Sure other things on menu were fine so check it out and let me know what you liked. read more

Love this place. Food is always superb, service rocks! Discovered TUNA TARTARE.... OMG!! It was sooo good! We bring our own sake, as they don't serve alcohol. Our waitress kept it nice and hot for us. Jay, the owner knows what he's doing, that's for sure... read more

It was our first time here and we had a best experience. Jay the owner was warm and inviting. The place is small and felt special. If you want to dine in during a peak period, make a reservation. Filled up quickly on a late Saturday afternoon. read more

I moved to Danbury about seven years ago from the city and I've been coming to Edo ll ever since I moved here based on a recommendation. I honestly think it's the cleanest place in Danbury, it has the freshest food and I love the atmosphere - - what could be wrong? nothin!!! it's a great place and it's also BYOB. read more

Small little family owned Japanese+ Korean spot that serves up some tasty meals with a nice variety and great presentation for sushi. Our family is used to some fancy nyc sushi and still loved this place. It's very small so just be aware that if it's a busy time there are not a lot of tables. They didn't have a wait for four of us on a Sunday night. There's a large menu with some delicious Korean offerings in addition to the sushi menu! Everyone enjoyed their meals and although I forgot to let the phone eat first, the presentation was lovely. We'll be back and look forward to supporting this family owned spot! read more

This was a pleasant surprise! I came with my family for dinner, mainly because it's one of the only restaurants that's open late, and feasted on so many things. Everything was delicious. Definitely and your meal with some mochi. I loved my sushi roll, and appreciated how fresh the tuna tartare was. The pancake was so fragrant too! The place itself is quite small, so you may have to wait for a table if you have a lot of people, even though we got lucky with the table on a Thursday night with five people and a baby. Edamame Korean scallion pancake Tuna tartare Crazy roll Shrimp shumai Strawberry, green tea, and red bean mochi Green tea Also tried the bulgogi, shrimp and veggies tempura, and chicken teriyaki. Everyone loved their meals! Our waitress was very attentive and accommodating as well. Thank you to the owner, who was gracious enough to teach my dad how to use chopsticks lol. read more

This restaurant is right off the road and has a very small parking lot behind it, maximum maybe 3-4 standard sized cars. The interior is small, they've got 2 booths and about 5-6 normal tables. Partner and I came in for a late lunch about 3:30pm on a Thursday. We were the only patrons which was nice. We were greeted right away and picked our seats. I wish they offered complimentary tea or water but no big deal. Customer service was still super nice and attentive. For appetizers we ordered the fried gyoza. I ordered the Golden Bridge Sushi Roll and kimchi jigae, and my partner got miso soup, Snow White (yellow tail) and the Tuna Trio (spicy). The fried gyoza was super light and crispy. Honestly, the best gyoza I've ever had. The kimchi jigae for me wasn't as brothy as I would have liked, but they gave me plenty of pork that literally fell off the bone because it was so tender. My partner really enjoyed our lunch and we look forward to visiting one more time before our visit in Danbury ends. Highly recommend trying them out!! Everything we had was delicious!! You can also order for takeout and just do a pick up if you'd like. Safety: They do not check temps or vaccination status but all staff wear masks and the whole restaurant is clean. Hand sanitizers are available at the table.

My first time here. My 3 stars is really based on the value and wait time. Food was good. Value was average. I had two rolls and some sashimi for $75. I live closer to NYC which is my comparison so I thought it was a bit high. Service was very slow though. I was there for 1 hr 15 min and only ate for 15 of that. The rest was either waiting to be waited on, waiting to be served, or waiting again to be recognized that I was done. Had to ask for more tea, for a to-go container, for the check. It was weird. I thought someone was going to jump out and say "just kidding." And then there was a guy getting take out who ordered when I arrived and came back twice while I was there. He was still waiting when I left. But the chef (owner?) seem totally unphased and oblivious to how long everyone was waiting. No soup for you! read more

The food was amazing, the staff was so friendly!!! Im vegetarian and I had bibimbab, the staff let me know what contained animal products and what didn't. I definitely recommend! The restaurant and small and cozy and has nice music. Made for a great meal! read more

My daughter and I ate Edo II last night and I had high expectations because the reviews were very good but to me it was only average. I ordered the sushi deluxe, which was 10 pieces of sushi and a spicy tuna roll and they were pretty good. No complaints about the quality of the food except the sushi deluxe $36. I thought that was eight to $10 too high compared to what I'm used to paying for sushi. My daughter got a salmon roll, standard, and some sort of octopus salad. I didn't think there was enough octopus in the salad, I felt it was overdressed and not that great. It also pissed me off that I couldn't get a free glass of water, that I had to pay for a bottle of water which I refused to do. Tax and tip for an average meal was over 80 bucks for two people. The food is good, I won't be back because I think they're egregiously expensive. read more

Looking at other reviews and this place had high reviews. I had to try it myself.... And I was NOT disappointed. The goyza starter was so clean and delicate. Extremely crispy and perfectly fried up. As you can see from the photo it was a wonderful golden color and not saturated with oil. The meats inside were well seasoned and delicious. My coworker had the rainbow roll and Hawaiian roll. I had the Jodi roll and Golden Bridge. All of which were amazing. Everything tasted fresh and nothing fishy. The waitress was very sweet and extremely pleasant. If I find myself in the area again, I can't wait to return. read more

We loved this place. Food and service was amazing. We will definitely go back. We loved the soup dumplings.

The food was deliciously spicy, fresh, and to temperature. The ambiance is like an authentic small restaurant in the far East.

I stopped by at Edo II after doing some shopping at the Danbury Fair Mall. In times of COVID, they will only seat one table of an immediate family in the restaurant at one time. They take all necessary precautions including checking your temperature at the door and taking your information down for contact tracing. I was able to try the sushi - Kamikaze roll, as well as the Korean dishes including Mandooguk and the bibimbap. Everything was super fresh and tasted like it was homemade. The owner was really friendly and I believe his wife was doing the cooking. This is a great family-owned business in which I hope others can come together to support! read more

Exceptionally delicious food. Probably the best sushi I've ever had! Our waitress was very kind and very helpful. We don't live close but will absolutely make multiple trips out here to have more! I ordered the Candlewood Island Sushi with Spicy Mayo instead of the Eel Sauce and the veggie Gyozas. My pup had sashimi for her birthday and loved every bit of it. lol. Husband ordered veggie rolls. Everything was mouthwateringly scrumptious! I'm beyond excited to return for more very soon! read more

We live in bethel, but are willing to drive the 20+ minutes for their sushi and korean food. The other sushi places near us are just not as good. The rolls offered are unique, super fresh and a great value (they are very filling). Plus, there are no other korean restaurants around. I hope this restaurant survives COVID and even after! read more

Had a great lunch for my daughter's 16th birthday. Due to the current situation, we made reservations because only one group is allowed in at a time. I had the sushi and sashimi dinner. It was excellent. The birthday girl had boolgogi. Delicious! My wife had yukgaejang. She loved the flavor and spiciness. Other daughter had mandooguk. She liked it because it was not spicy. All in all, a great meal and great service. The owner was really friendly. We will definitely be back. read more

The service was really nice. It's seems to be a small staff. The Korean dish was good--always love all the Korean side dishes. We also got a roll which was ok. Im a sucker for sushi, but am used to NYC standards where the fish comes in super fresh. I wasn't impressed with the freshness. My husband said he would return. If we do return, I'm sticking to Korean dishes. read more

I genuinely enjoyed my visit to this little spot in Danbury. I was actually searching for an Indian restaurant and both of my targeted places turned out to be primarily markets, much to my irritation. I thought I might have to settle for a diner when this little establishment presented itself. What I thought was poor luck ended up to be quite fortuitous. The building was just a little crackerbox setting close to the road. The word cozy certainly applied. The interior could not handle much beyond 25 or 30 patrons. But I think the word intimate could also be used accurately to describe it and that's a big part of what made it memorable. The proprietor was behind the sushi bar when l walked in and he greeted me quickly. There were only two other parties at the time I visited at around 8 PM on a Thursday so finding a table was not a problem. My order was taken right away by the gentleman behind the sushi bar. He was very engaging and, as such, I thought the service was very good during my entire visit. The menu offered several Japanese and Korean favorites. I started with the Tako Salad. This was a spicy concoction that featured octopus. It was excellent. For my main, I opted for the Bibimbap with Chicken. It was also terrific and, of course, was quite generous in terms of portion. With green tea to drink, my final bill was about $33 including tax and tip. I had no qualms about this as I thought this was a good value. The next time I am in the area, I will consider dining here again as I was positively impressed. If you are in the neighborhood and fancy Japanese or Korean fare, I would not hesitate to recommend giving this place a try. read more

Unfortunately, we didn't like the place. It is not a restaurant! Super small, although not very cozy. They do not give you top water!!! My son ordered ramen, he always everywhere order ramen, and he could not finish it. We took to share Kani-salad, we usually always take it, and it was bad there. But they loved all the sushi rolls. I will try another place read more

The food was great , but the service wasn't . The was only one waitress and she herself couldn't really handle three tables at the same time. Like seriously , my son spilled his soup on the table and she only cleaned half the table , I don't really know why. I though she was coming back , but she never did , I had to ask the busser to please come help me. I though that was very rude. read more

Never miss a chance to go and get some top quality sushi and a top class Gobdal when in the area. Great tiny spot.

Continuing to try out the Asian options in the Danbury region, five of us came here on a weekend around six pm. The restaurant is tiny-- there are perhaps a total of seven tables all squeezed together, and no protection from the outside cold air when someone comes in. Menu is primarily Japanese, but the owner is Korean, so there are a smattering of acceptable if not remarkable Korean dishes on the menu. Food is fresh, but quite expensive for what you get... smaller portions at very high prices. I think the owner was bored, for he interrupted our meal several times to make small talk, even once criticizing my young son for some small issue, which left me a bit shocked and unsure of how to address the situation. I chalked it up to first generation Korean father overstepping his boundaries; he may have felt comfortable doing so since we're an Asian family ourselves, but it pretty much set the tone for the night. When he wasn't being a gracious host, he stood a foot behind my wife with his arms crossed, watching the television on the wall over her head. Again, personal boundaries. He thanked us when we left and asked us to return, but with a low triple-digit bill and the experience, we won't. read more

Consistent excellent quality food, friendly service, nice welcoming owner. Our favorite restaurant in Danbury area.

I like Edo. I like Korean food once in a while, and my favourite is the Japchey. The noodles that are made with some kind of root, could be tapioca. I am not too sure. They also serve Japanese food of sorts which I have not tried, but I hear it is food from my western friends who have done so. So, if you like Korean food, this is a good place to eat at. read more
