This place had really amazing sushi. I was very surprised. Walking in it looked pretty shady. It's an existing dive bar, with a sushi place connected. We had the salmon roll, squid, salmon roe, and tuna sashimi. We sat on the dive bar side, watched hockey, and had incredible sushi. I would go back again. read more

Edo II - Japanese Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Tasty food but overpriced. I've always had a good time while at this restaurant and the seafood tastes fresh, but it's hard to come here for sushi when the prices are high. Overall great restaurant for the occasional birthday or other celebration. read more

Their Korean food is very tasty and sushi is done well. It's a very small restaurant, only a few tables so sometimes it can get crowded. The service is excellent! It think it's a family run business so they're very attentive. We've never been disappointed whenever we go there. The price for their food is fair. It's the only place we know where you can get good Korean food in Danbury area. read more

We stopped by after visiting friends in Milford, CT. We are Korean Americans, and we frequent Korean restaurants in Flushing and Koreatown in Manhattan. The hot stone bibimbap here is on par with some of the restaurants we like to go to in K-town. Cozy place with friendly Chef. He visited every table after people finished eating to make sure everything was good. I ordered the organic brown rice stone pot bibimbap. It was excellent! If we feel like eating Korean food tomorrow (comfort food for us), we'll stop by again before heading back down to NYC. read more

I always enjoy my visit here. It's great cause it's right in front of my house and I always feel like im far away from Connecticut when I'm here. I have visited Japan and Korea before so it's great feeling the same experience. The food is bomb !!! And I'll always come back. I wish they had some saki though. read more

Came here for lunch with a coworker and I'm still not surprised why Edo remains top tier in Danbury. The lunch specials are phenomenal and you get an INSANE amount of food for the price you pay. I highly recommend the Bulgogi lunch box if you're looking to be completely satisfied, and for $13 who wouldn't? Not to mention, the owner came out to make sure everything was up to par. Thumbs up. I love Edo, I love the owners, I love the food, I will most definitely be back. read more

Everything is so fresh! Great service too. I am pretty picky so there are only a few places I go to eat and this is one of them.

Fantastic Korean food in an intimate, homey environment. Very friendly owner that's on-site constantly. It really feels like you're being served in someone's home. I've only tried the Korean food and a very small amount of sushi. Sushi seemed OK, especially for the area, but the Korean food was amazing enough to order again and again. Since there are barely any Korean options in Connecticut in general, I find it difficult to order anything else here. And everything has been fantastic. I don't think you could order anything off the Korean menu here and be disappointed. There isn't much for good Asian food in the Danbury area, and this is very much an easily overlooked gem. Oh, and it's BYOB. read more

This was a great place. We really like the Stone Bowl bibimbap. I got the beef version and it was very tasty. The spicy sauce was just slightly sweet - exactly right. Often in the USA I find the sauce too sweet compared to Korea. We loved the vegetable mix and the rice caramelized (burnt) nicely along the bowl. We also got the tofu soup with shrimp and seafood in it. It was good and even compared well to good places around LA. The side dishes were very good. It is a small place, so will not work well for large groups above 4 or so. read more

Delicious food, lousy service, a wire in food. -The waiter didn't understand we wanted TWO orders of gobdol (why would two people share one dinner? We don't look that skinny) -When the missed second order came out 15 minutes later (!!) we had to ask for the banchan (side dishes) that went with the dish -had to ask for a refill of hot tea AND (here's the one star-kicker:) -my husband was chewing and found a 1.5 inch piece of WIRE in his vegetables. When shown the wire, they apologized, "maybe from scrubbing vegetables" but did not offer to redo the dish. The wire was big enough and dangerous enough that it could have done some serious internal damage had he not been following his grandma's advice to chew his food well (would therefore have killed me--). At the end of the meal, a restaurant with better customer service would have comped the dish, if not the entire meal. If not to avoid a review like this, at least to perhaps keep a customer coming back. After we paid the bill in full, we were offered a small half-dessert (a single mochi disc) to share. Unfortunately not only were we disgusted by that point, we are off sugar. So if you want delicious food, bad customer service, and like playing Russian roulette with your insides, Edo Two is for you! read more

I am not an expert in Korean food, since all I've had that's Korean came from Orlando's Izziban Sushi, which has very tasty bibimpop and bulgagi dishes. Based on this, I was very eager to replicate those culinary experiences with this little Korean restaurant in Danbury. Unfortunately, it was a bust. The place is very cute and very, very small, undoubtedly being a mom-and-pop type of restaurant, which are excellent finds sometimes. The young girls working as waitresses looked like they were relatives helping out the family. They were graceful and helpful enough. However, the gorgeous decor and the friendly staff were pluses that could not save the disappointment of the dishes. First thing we noticed is that the prices were higher than expected. The cheapest entrees were around $15 bucks with the majority being higher than that. That wasn't necessarily what we could afford at the moment, but we were already there and hungry. There were cheaper bento-boxes-style lunch specials; unluckily, their lunch specials only worked on weekdays, and it was a Saturday. I ordered a hot chicken bibimpop (a bunch of veggies and rice that come unmixed and you mixed them inside the steaming hot stone pot) and my girlfriend asked for the glass noodles called chapchae or japchae. The chapchae wasn't bad. It had some flavor and the glass noodles were equally weird and interesting. My girlfriend did end up liking it, but it was not good enough to warrant double digits in price. The bibimbop that I so craved, quickly shattered my hopes for a favorite Korean place in Connecticut. Simply put, it was flavorless. All the elements by themselves and combined just tasted hot, but with an extremely neutral flavor. I desperately looked for fixes, by putting soy and squirting the contents of the mysterious red bottle on the table, which tasted like some mild chili sauce. Even with my own personal touches, I could not get any flavor out of the dish. It was hot in temperature, so I did get a nice facial and pore cleansing, but my palate was crushed in sadness at the impossibly bland dish in front of me. The chapchae was better, so we ended sharing that one rather than finishing my entree. I feel bad in giving this rating, because that place looks and feels like it should be a hidden gem, but the dishes just lacked the pizzazz that the reviews alluded to. I don't know if it was an extreme day off, or if it wasn't the regular cooks, or if there's just not much competition in Asian cuisine around there. Maybe, this is what the authentic food tastes like, but I'd rather have whatever Izziban Sushi concocted, because they put out great stuff for similar (though cheaper across the board) prices. Local yelpers let me down on this one, unless for some reason, I just got a bad day. Hopefully, that's the case and their food quality is really as great as others say, because the restaurant's look, feel, and pricing deserves top-notch Korean flavors. Also, the water that they gave us was oddly offered without ice and it tasted like bad tap water. That's the kind of water I would expect from buffet single $-type of Asian restaurants, not one that strives to be more than the norm. Will not come back. read more

gobdol is amazing. the tiny size of this place makes you feel that you are one of the lucky ones that were selected to eat here!! love it. ps. did i mention gobdol?? ummm. the way that sizzling bowl just permeates your nose and is filled with all those yummy crispy veggies, perfectly cooked beef, and the soft yolky silky egg. but the best part. :: soft rice gets a beautiful crunchy exterior as it lays nestled next to the sizzling vessel :: amazing. i forgot my freakin phone: no pictures- but will be back in a flash to get more gobdol! fyi- we also went for lunch- my friends had bento boxes which were all nom- but heck- they were all jealous of my gobdol! we all enjoyed the different banchans. read more

Very authentic cuisine. The sizzling hot rice bowls are very attractive and appealing. The sushi is very fresh and delicious, comes in big rolls! I love the spicy sauce provided to enhance flavor. I have been here several times and never been. Disappointed. 5 stars! read more

For what this place lacks in square footage - it makes up for with it's unique environment and authentic food. I went with a date and can't wait to go back! Korean food is great for enjoying with friends because it's all about interaction: with your food (i.e. lots of stirring and mixing your own bowl) and with your friends in sharing the many complimentary banchan (side dishes). The cozy but clean and modern environment feels like you're having dinner at your Uncle and Aunt's house - if your Uncle and Aunt were Korean, cool, and amazing chefs! We could easily feel the warmth radiating from the actual couple running it all - and even when we were the last ones there, we never felt crowded or rushed. I recommend making a reservation to ensure you get a table. Bring a date, a few friends, your mom, or anyone who would appreciate a new/fun experience! Oh and BYOB + no corkage = love read more

This place is amazing. It's small and intimate and recently added outdoor seating. Order anything on this menu you won't be disappointed. And be sure to BYOB be cause they don't have a liquor license. read more

Very good, authentic Korean food. BYOB is awesome! Location is very small so be prepared to wait. Sushi is ok but the bibimbap is my favorite. Staff is always very accommodating and attentive. Great place for a date night if you bring your own six pack or wine. Do not judge a book by its cover - looks kind of weird from the outside but it's great! read more

Edo II - This is the bibimbap in hot stone and chap chae. - Japanese Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Everything Jay makes here is delicious. One of my regular dishes is his vegetarian bibimbap - a sizzling rice bowl chock-full of rice, vegetables, tofu, and an egg. Perfect for a chilly evening. His sushi is fresh and masterfully presented. He always comes out to chat with us. The restaurant is quite small, and often packed, so you might want to call ahead and reserve a table. Make sure you BYOB; there's no corkage, but they'll supply glasses and an opener. Edo II is definitely one of the very best restaurants in the area! read more

This is a really terrific little Korean/Japanese restaurant. Owned and run by a charming couple. It was romantic, comfortable and warm. We ordered the pancake first and I thought it was ok, I have had better. It was a little heavier and I like them with more of a lighter bite. We ordered the Gobdol. Seasoned vegetables served in a sizzling stone rice bowl. Nice mix of veggies with shitake mushrooms, mixed with a really interesting chili sauce. I loved the crunchy caramelized rice. This was a really good dish. We also enjoyed the Jaeyuk-gooi. Grilled pork tenderloin w/spicy sauce onions and peppers. This was really great, just short of too spicy to eat, or in other words perfect. All of this was served with several small dishes or banchan. I especially liked the kimchee. We had a couple cups of tea and the bill came to $44. Many of the reviews note the price. We had more than we could eat and found the quality remarkable. Maybe it's a couple bucks per entree high but I think this place is well worth it. If we had skipped the $8 pancake the bill would have been just fine and we still would have had enough to eat. Come and support this beautiful couple and their cozy restaurant. I highly recommend you give it a try. read more

Wow, what a nice little place! Emphasis on little....ok emphasis on nice also. I went around 8pm on a Tuesday so the small size was really no problem for our group of four and we sat down right away. It would have been worth the wait even if there were one. BYOB, was fine by us since my group came prepared since the other couple had been before and the waitress brought us out pint glasses right away. Everything was great. My friends are vegetarians and there seemed to be plenty of options for them too. The Korean Pancake was a nice started plus some basic sushi rolls and edamame. I have to admit I'm not all that familiar with Korean food but I really wanted to try the rice dish that comes in the stone bowl (sorry forgot the name) basically like supped up fried rice. It came out steaming hot (and stayed that way the whole time thanks to the bowl) topped with all kinds of good stuff and a choice of meat. I chose to have mine with pork and it was a nice touch although it wasn't a lot of meat there was so much other stuff that it was OK. Long story short my entrée was a great new experience for me. Entrees came with some accompaniments that I was not familiar with and some kimchee. Like I said I'm not all that familiar with Korean food but I have had other kimchee's I like better. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive and the sushi chef (owner?) came out to check on us a few times and was very nice. Bottom line...nice place, rather unique for our area, great people and food, I can't wait to go back! read more

Love this place and come here every chance I get. The owner is lovely and as is his staff. The food is delicious. Being from New York and having food choices at your fingertips is awesome, but coming to CT every weekend and having limited options was a bit difficult until I found Edo. Have ben going here for years now and intend to continue. Both Korean and Japanese cuisines are amazing and you can't go wrong with anything you order. Hands down best restaurant in Danbury! And for anyone worried about parking as has been mentioned before, when the restaurant's spaces are full, I simply park in the parkingklot next door. read more

I wasn't impressed. I've been to the Edo in Norwalk which is run by the same family and that restaurant is big, friendly and quite yummy. This one unfortunately is very small and while they do much of the same menu except truncated, it was missing something for me. The staff wasn't that attentive even though we were one of two tables there. And they didn't understand what my husband wanted when he explained he wanted a specific dish on the menu but just in a bowl with sriracha. The rolls I got were also leaving something to be desired and they were the regular spicy tuna crunch, salmon avo and philly type rolls. I might go back there but I would rather try a different place first. read more

Stopped here last night with my daughter because she loves Korean cuisine. We were pleasantly surprised, small seating area but quite comfortable. Great menu with selections to boot, my kid ate like she had never seen food and I got the sushi/sashimi box. Everything was done with care and precision. Well done! The owner came over to our table and asked how it was and continued the conversation with my kid, We will return! read more

My favorite spot for Korean and Japanese cuisine. Absolutely inlove with Kimchi Jigae! It's a small place, but with a great chef. It's 40 minutes drive for me, but it never stopped me - every time delicious experience. read more

I have recently been turned onto Korean food due to some new owners of our corporate cafeteria. The food here is outstanding. My husband and I have now been here 3 times with 2 different friends, one of whom lived in Korea for a few years. Words cannot express how flavorful and interesting the Korean dishes are on the menu. The atmosphere is nice, although the dining room is small the flavors in these dishes are large. Along with the Korean dishes which is what brings us to this place, they also serve your standard Sushi fare. read more

Best sushi in the Danbury area, hands down. Extensive variety of creative rolls split into two lists - raw and cooked. I have yet to have one that was less than amazing. The Korean dishes are also very tasty and authentic - I highly recommend the gobdol bimipbab. Jay, the owner and sushi chef, is very accommodating for those with gluten sensitivities and since everything is made to order, can modify menu items accordingly. Also love that this place is BYOB. The place is very small though (maybe 6 or 7 tables?) so make sure to call ahead if looking to dine in. read more

Wonderful Japanese and Korean food in Danbury, Connecticut. I was surprised that they do take-out, and their service was super fast. During my one hour lunch break, I ordered the "Bibimbab" for take-out and it was ready in 10 minutes. I was also given several yummy side dishes along with my bibimbab as a compliment. The price was very reasonable compared to other places and the food was delicious. I would recommend this to anyone that love Korean food. read more

I love this place. I stop by a few times a month for lunch. Great lunch boxes with plenty of delicious food. The bibimbop is sizzling a excellent. I tried the sushi for the first time today. The fish is of the highest quality. read more

Edo II - Japanese Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

Hands down, one of the best restaurants in the area. The sushi is fresh, elegantly presented, and delicious. The Korean offerings are off the chart. Don't worry if you you are adverse to spicey food. Everything is available mild to wild. And the lunch boxes are the absolute best value anywhere. I have no idea how the can offer such a large lunch at such a modest cost. The restaurant is small, seating capacity extremely limited, parking also limited (thanks in part to new restrictions to parking in the adjacent lot) and the lack of acoustical treatment makes for an often noisy dining experience. None of this matters. Jay and his wife make everyone feel at home, and offer delicious food at reasonable prices. Even though you may prevent me from getting in by taking the last available seat, go to Edo II and enjoy a rare experience in this area. Great food prepared by lovely, welcoming people. 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

We had dinner at Edo II while we were up from NYC visiting family in Danbury. My Danbury family highly recommended we try this restaurant. I'm so glad they did! It didn't look like much from the outside, but once we went in we had a wonderful experience at Edo II! The inside is quaint and I just love the small sushi bar at the front of the restaurant! The food was delicious, authentic and presented beautifully! We had some sushi which was terrific, the harumaki was nice and crunchy, and I had the bibimbap gobdol which was fantastic! I've been to both Japan and Korea and have to say the food at Edo II is spot on! I also love that it's a local mom and pop place! The restaurant is small, so if you want to go during peak hours I would definitely suggest a reservation. If you are looking for some authentic Korean cuisine and are in the Danbury area, check out Edo II! read more

Clean environment with very friendly staff! Loved the gyoza, sushi was good. Will definitely go back again and try out a few other things. Unfortunately, there is much on the menu for someone who doesn't eat beef/pork or fried foods. I enjoyed the sushi - it was good - but you could tell it was recently thawed out. Loved the chicken dumplings/gyozas....I could eat them by the plateful! I will be going back, for sure. Also, it's BYOB. Don't forget :) read more
