Love how cute and clean this place is!! The waitress is very nice and service is quick!! sooo mad ive been driving past this place for two years!!! i could have been getting my bibimbap on when i was feeling lazy read more

one of the best Korean/Japanese restaurants in CT. The price makes up for the quality because you can tell it is authentic East Asian food. Owner is very nice as well. read more

I eat here at least once a week--the sushi rolls are delicious! Yes, the restaurant is small, but the service and quality of the food make up for it. read more

We passed through Danbury from NY and were already in the parking lot of another Sushi spot. We were so impressed with Edo II reviews, we backtracked 14 minutes to sample them for the first time. For starters, we would never fault an establishment for meager parking or dining area. You may often find that small establishments are often bigger on taste quality and heart, you may be quick to forget the need for any quantity, be it parking or portions. My girlfriend and I were lucky enough to be the only patrons there during a Hump day Lunch hour, Or, were we??... Empty lot and dining area during lunch are sometimes what you think. But the Ratings, right?? The 4/5 Star Yelpers must line up during dinner hour? The staff was friendly, we were off to a good start! We were greeted with a nod and smile from the Sushi Chef, moments later we received the same greeting minus the nod, from our server. Surprised, not disappointed, she was Caucasian. I credit EDO II for being an Equal-opportunity Employer, not for being "Authentic". BYOB: big or small, they have their reasons and we have ours. This does not lend itself to "Authentic" yet rather invites Craft beer or Bud blowhards to enter w/ their coveted selections so they can pontificate about "their" beer rather than appreciate the cuisine assembled through tradition and artistry that is humbly set before them. If you don't get out in front of this, it will be BYOF too! Disappointing, but still not a deal-breaker for us. My fault, had I scoured the reviews first, we would not have asked for Sapporos. We too are fond of local Craft beer, but, what better than an Imported Sapporo or OB for washing down "Authentic" Japanese/Korean cuisine? May be available at the Liquor store, down the street, maybe not. We graciously accepted what was available rather than disrupting our anticipated 4/5 Star experience, to run an errand. We decided to sample both Japanese and Korean menu items. While we waited for our order we noticed the absence of "Authentic" ethnic music overhead. Instead, our Sushi Chef proceeded to softly hum what might have been an ethnic tune as he created our Sushi order. Whatever helps him concentrate, I'm all for it. What was troubling, was that he regularly cleared his sinuses. No, he did not expel or broadcast on the raw fish, he frequently drew inward from the sinuses and presumably swallowed. If ill, or has a nervous tick, we aren't without compassion and to be truthful, disgust. Why is he making Sushi?! This was a Sushi Bar first! Few want to or are able to maintain an appetite in that situation. Imagine listening to phlegm while waiting for raw, slimy fish as your Sushi Chef is huffing clams. Music, any music!!, might have drowned out which was disturbingly reminiscent of my morning routine in front of the bathroom sink. The bulgogi was a disappointment and was devoid of flavor and texture that traditional Korean Barbecue is known for. The rice too, was far from the traditional sticky, which makes one wish they had mastered the use of chop sticks. Years ago, my parents expanded our family w/ three adoptions from Seoul. On a rarity, Mom helped my new sibs revisit the taste of their homeland, w/fixings from the Asian Market. She prepared bulgogi and sticky rice that could have passed for authentic. Mom, a Shift-nurse, only cooked on Sundays and one weeknight. I bore you with family talk, to beg the question. How is it, that a Polish, Shift Nurse, with only 2 nights a week to practice, have prepared this dish better than a place touting Korean food, 40 years later??? Some may say, love. Perhaps. I also suspect lack of customer volume which would explain a flash marinade rather than a long soak. If you can't dish Korean Food, do not masquerade as a place that does. Thanks, I have lost faith in the Hybrid Restaurants all together, this is a good thing. Pick one, and stick with one. In this case, Japanese/Sushi may be their specialty. I agree, their fish is fresh. The "Bridge", one of their Specialty Tempura Rolls, was unique and we both enjoyed. We always order "Spicy" tuna, there was nothing "Spicy" about theirs. This too was disappointing. Oddly enough, their pickled ginger was pleasantly spicy unlike the Sushi Bar norm. Unless they pickle it themselves, you can only credit them for the brand they serve. Garnish did not bring us here, the ratings did. I have never been compelled to leave a review of this nature for any Sushi Bar, till now. I do this not for myself, but rather for the benefit of the establishment and future patrons. Did not live up to the 4/5 Star Ratings. I surmise we happened upon EDO II on a "bad day" and substantiate that based on this experience that was peppered with missteps OR, the EDO II, along with a number of 4/5 Star Yelps are less than "Authentic" or belong to an EDO I if. Hoping I am wrong, but we were there the day that no one else was....hmm read more

This place is small but very cozy. Excellent Korean restaurant. Always enjoy having lunch or dinner here. Very fresh and clean cooking. Service has always been top notch. Parking is limited in space but worth the trip every time. A hidden gem in Danbury. read more

Celebrated my nieces birthday here tonight and she was super happy- best Korean food she has ever had! We ordered the chapchae, amazing, the bulgogi was great and my favorite was the bimbibap! Great service, really authentic food but make sure you make a reservation so you don't miss out. And BYOB! read more

Edo II - Japanese Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

See all

Best sushi and Asian food in the area, hands down. Yes, very small, but it's part of the charm. Plan for takeout or make a reservation during busier hours. Don't complain about the service. It's small and they do their best. If you're in a hurry and want quick service go somewhere else. Thank you for freeing up the table for me! Edo staff do an amazing job. The food is excellent and worth the wait anytime! Love this little gem! read more

We had the Bibimbab with tofu. Great, carefully prepared, food, great ambience, and great service. Nice little Mom and Pop place. read more

Was searching for a place to eat with a friend from London, and this was the closest Korean restaurant we could find. Food is okay, but the place is near a road side which can be quiet noisy if you want some peace. Food is quiet filling. read more

I really enjoy coming here for Korean food. Jiggae and hot stone bowl are always so flavorful and can taste the care and pride in it. Although they don't have a huge menu, their quality makes up for it. Sushi is always good and I usually like to go for their signature rolls because they put nice twists to traditional sushi. Wonderful family that runs the place. Humble and very sweet. Small hole in the wall but rumor has it they are moving to another bigger location. With that in mind, hoping the menu expands with some Korean snack food. read more

Honestly best sushi/Korean food in Danbury! I recently tried it this year and I couldn't say enough positive things about this place! The bento boxes for lunch are not only filling but super inexpensive and their specialty sushi rolls might be on the pricier side but well worth it and very filling! I have recommended this place to pretty much everyone, it's a must try! read more

The place is really small but so far the food was really good. I got the Sashimi box lunch and was really happy with everything and the portion was large. read more

We LOVE this place. The food is always excellent. Tonight half our table had Korean dishes, the other half Japanese, I had sushi. It was fresh, delicious, and I can't say enough good things. My mom is a picky eater and even she can't stop raving about it... I really love that it's byob. This is definitely a hidden gem and one of our favorites in the area. read more

VERY small place, so small you cannot talk without everyone hearing your conversation and you hearing theirs. I love Edo in Norwalk, and when I saw Edo 2 was near the mall I raved to a friend about it and went. The place has about 6 small tables. The two waitresses are as awkward as you can be, as if the small place isn't awkward enough. The vibe was almost library-ish, with no music playing in the background. I asked for the bulgogi bowl, which I assumed was the stone bowl with rice. That's what I've always ordered from Edo Norwalk. Three orders, it comes out with bulgogi on the platter, small side of rice, $22. Okay, maybe it wasn't called Bulgogi, but I said the bowl and she didn't correct me so I assumed that was right. I was starving so I didn't make a big deal out of it, as long as it was good. They also didn't have the Korean cinnamon soda which I usually order at Edo, and I can't find that anywhere but there. My bulgogi was fine, my wife's wasn't. Her meat was chewy with bubbles of fat on it. I didn't believe her until I tried it myself, she was right. I kept chewing and had to spit it out. The waitress refilled my water then slammed it on the table almost spilling it. I couldn't wait to leave, never again will I visit this Edo. read more

Absolutely love this place! Sushi is always very fresh. Gop dol is fantastic. Service is great -- everything from the Sushi chef to the wait staff. A few key tips: 1. Make a Reservation - there are only a few tables which means amazing service and food, but definitely get a reservation in so that you do not need to wait, especially since there is not really space. 2. BYO - the restaurant does not serve beer or wine, but you can bring your own which is great! read more

Food was mediocre. I have had better Korean food for half the price. The Korean pancake tasted like stale cornbread with barely any veggies ( where the traditional scallions at!?!?!). Not the best. I would honestly pass. read more

Well here goes my first ever Yelp review. I've never been treated more rudely at a restaurant in my life. After being charged nearly double what I expected for a pick up order, I showed the man working at the restaurant the multiple menus online reflecting different prices from what he was charging me. He insisted the menus were old, and when I apologized for not wanting to pay $7.50 for a sweet potato roll (lol), he threw my card at me in my car and told me to leave, storming off angrily. So I did, and went to Zen where I ordered the same exact thing for $15 less. read more

First time eating at Edo II. Was great Korean food. Had edamame and spicy tuna roll to start. Then the kimchi jigae. Best in the area. Great flavor and lots of pork where typically it's served with a few scarce pieces. Nice little restaurant. Not the cheapest but worth every penny. Staff is very friendly and food came out quickly. read more

This food is the bomb! Its such a small little place. But it's clean and the food is authentic. I come here whenever I'm in Danbury and am eager to bring friends and relatives along with me to try it for themselves. read more

Was not feeling up to par and wanted some Udon noodle soup while driving from Poughkeepsie to Hartford. Yelp helped me find this little gem on my way. I ordered spicy tuna rolls and the seafood soup. The rolls were tasty and had crunchy toppings in them. The Udon was loaded with various seafood. I normally like spicy Udon, and this was not at all. (I didn't ask for it spicy, so don't know if they can make it like that). The waitress was very nice and attentive. Very clean, very small dining area (6 tables, 2 sushi bar seats). Overall, I will stop in on my next drive through. read more

I really enjoyed dinner at this tiny restaurant. The chef/owner was behind the sushi bar when we arrived, but came around to seat us and bring us menus. We decided to split a pancake, which was listed under the apps, and share 2 entrees, the gobdol with veggies and no meat, and the spicy pork with onions and peppers ~ jaeyuk gooi. I've had this pancake when it's light as air, with a combo of creamy and crunchy textures that knocks me out. Not so here, where it was doughy and dense. That was the only sour note in our meal, however, and the entrees we ordered were wonderful. The gobdol comes out in a smoking hot stone bowl. He offered to mix it all together for us, and we accepted, so the fried egg, veggies, rice and chili sauce he topped it with got a thorough stirring. This is comfort food... the rice continues to cook on the sides of the bowl, where it achieves a terrific crunchiness, and the chili sauce brought just enough spice. My chopsticks kept finding their way to the pork dish; I will always eat this until it's gone, and they make it very well here. I imagine if we had skipped the pancake, I'd be giving them 5 stars. Great food and super nice people. Make a reservation on a weekend night, as there are only 6 tables and a 4 seat sushi bar. read more

Our favorite place to eat in Danbury. We eat in for the Korean side of the menu and get sushi as take-out quite often. The food is always amazing! Fresh ingredients combined in a perfect balance of favors. The service is very attentive but relaxed. We can't stay away! read more

I just wanted to add to my previous review that I have been back to Edo II several times in the last several months and it has never disappointed! Last Friday I arrived in CT at 10:30pm after horrendous traffic coming out of Manhattan. I called to find out what time Edo closed only to learn that they had closed at 10pm. Nevertheless the owner immediately offered to make me something to go! I showed up 10 minutes later and the Gobdol was ready for me within a few minutes. The rice actually had some crispiness to parts of it which makes me think that they must have prepared it in the hot stone bowl even though it was take out. There was also still the usual offering of several banchan which I hadn't been expecting. I really have to say that they owners go above and beyond in service and in quality of their food. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! :) read more

Sushi lovers this is the place that you wished for, a must try if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed.

This place is a little gem. Awesome food the owner and his family are fabulous. The sushi is hands down the best in the area and Korean dishes are a fabulous experience as well. read more

I am a big korean food fan, especially bibimbap. My husband and I usually would go into the city or Fort Lee for authentic korean food until I found this place. The food is authentic and reasonably priced. My husband joked now we can save some gas money since we can get our korean food fix closer to home!! read more

Tiny place with limited seating, but scores big on food and ambience. Service is prompt and courteous. Love the dolsot bibimbap and all the goodies that come along (especially the sweet peanuts). The sushi is good as well (though IMO Ki still remains the best sushi place in Danbury). Great place to enjoy Korean Cuisine without a drive to NYC...plus it BYOB! read more

Definitely my favorite place in Danbury, probably all of Fairfield county actually. Last week I went there 3 times after having the Kimchi Jagae (sp?) soup- so good and intensely flavorful, with a full pork rib floating around. The side dishes that come with the food are always incredibly tasty and interesting. The sushi there is by far the best in Danbury, not only for the presentation but the freshness and quality of fish. If i'm not getting the Kimchi soup I love to get the Vegetarian Gobdol (the sizzling rice bowls) which are amazing and always fun to get if you're bringing someone for their first time. The service is really nice and the owner clearly cares about the food he's making. The restaurant itself is pretty tiny and intimate which I personally enjoy, but it could be hard to get a table on a weekend (I always book) Only thing I don't totally love is that they don't put ice in the drinks, but that's so minor compared to the quality and taste of everything here! read more

Give it 2 stars instead of 1 star as it is the only korean relatively nearby me. Granted, its a small menu, small restaurant, from what I saw of the staff (one korean lady who spoke bad korean but perfect english, and one white guy) and from the little amount of banchan they give you (which seem to be served here as a novelty and not apart of your meal) it seems that they are catering more to the non-koreans, or just that most of their clients are non-korean. I don't think I will be back, Im in the city/north jersey enough where I will get my fill there. read more

This was the best, most pure dining experience I've had in all my 18 years on this cruel earth. All of my senses were titillated. But in all seriousness, I would highly recommend this restaurant. The food was incredible and very authentic (I am now a Korean-food convert), the staff was helpful and attentive, and the chef himself emerged from his culinary palace to show my friend and I how to properly mix and ingest our Bibimbap. Overall, an amazing and fulfilling meal and I can't wait to go back. I got the Gobdol Bibimbap with chicken and it was exquisite. It came to me in a sizzling stone bowl. My friend had the Vegetable Udon and describes her experience as "transcendent". The other friend who ate the Udon Bokeum says it was "succulent and truly inspiring" to eat. We are being weird in this review, but we are still riding the natural high this meal provided. I could not recommend this restaurant more highly. And it's family-owned, to boot!!!! Go here! You will not be disappointed! I already have plans to come back! Loved it! Yum! Delicious! read more

Restaurant is friendly. Food is ok, yet not worth the price. Maybe it is reasonable for such small town. This encourages me to learn how to make sushi. read more

So. Good. I recently moved back from NYC and have been searching for the perfect Korean place (which is hard to find in the Danbury area). I found Edo II on Yelp and it did not disappoint! It's a very small unassuming place, but don't let that fool you. The food was incredible. I had the Gobdol (hot stone) Bibimbap with tofu. The rice was nice and crunchy around the edges and went perfectly with the assortment of vegetables and chili sauce. My friend got sushi which looked good too. Will definitely return! read more

Great food and service! I wish they would open a larger restaurant in the area...their place in Norwalk is great as well, but the seating and parking is much too limited in the Danbury location. Everyone needs to support them and convince them to take a leap of faith and open a larger buidling now. I've been a supporter of their Norwalk location for 10 years or so - I agree with others, it is authentic Korean. I have been to Korea many times myself and can tell you, it is the real thing. Their sushi is very good as well - all my favorites in one place. read more

This restaurant is surprising good, especially considering the decor and location. The food is prepared with a great deal more attention to detail and care than I've had in some of the best restaurants in the world. While the menu is far from revolutionary, my gobdol was excellent. The plating is simple yet delicate and precise. It is rare that I feel compelled to write a review, particularly of a small restaurant in an obscure place. This place warrants that I go out of my way to do so. The decor is indicative of a cheap "Asian" restaurant and the service while nice is of the same standard. But the chef is remarkable and deserves praise. read more

EDO II is absolutely fantastic. It is a quaint establishment, warm and inviting. The wait staff is friendly and hospitable. When you walk through the door there is a gentlemen across from you who greets you while preparing some of the freshest sushi around. I have been here multiple times and the food is consistently excellent. I highly recommend the Rainbow roll as it looks like a work of art and is absolutely delicious. Enjoy!! read more

This is a great little place for Korean or Japanese food. I had the Tekkadon and the finish was amazing and so fresh. The owner of this place is really nice. Prices are reasonable and I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

Excellent sushi and an interesting mix of both Japanese and Korean cuisine. The Gobdol is amazing. This is a VERY small restaurant but I think this adds to the atmosphere. Very enjoyable and extremely friendly staff and owner. Highly recommended! read more

Quaint and cozy, fresh, tasty, great price, and friendly. I would give this place a 4.5 if I could. We had a roll to start off and then shared hot bibimbap. The roll was fresh (not great but a solid good) and the hot bibimbap was really tasty (not the best I have ever had but really good). As another yelp writer stated, the bibimbap contained "crispy veggies, perfectly cooked beef, and the soft yolky silky egg." The food was all reasonably priced. The best part, the restaurant is BYOB. read more

Simple atmosphere. Owner chef happy and friendly. The Korean BBQ and udon noodles were delicious! Packed with flavor. Quaint. Veggie udon had a deeper and eclectic veggie re i.e. Than most suburbs Japanese houses read more

Edo II has a wide variety of dishes. I wouldn't call it 'authentic' Korean food, as they seem to take their own spin on each dish. The cuisine is tasty regardless. The restaurant is very cozy inside with a TV and friendly staff. I will try to return the next time I'm in Danbury. read more
