I fell in love with the ambience of this establishment. It definitely is a must see to have little lunches with your party or even your other half. It is very mellow and more on the well lit side, so if you want a dim lit restaurant, this ain't for you. Service? Impeccable, I forgot the girl who served us, but sis was always on point. Consider your drinks refilled! When it comes to food, understand that the sushi chef takes his time to craft art on your plate. Like seriously, look at the images I share, it's a masterpiece isn't it? So do expect a bit of a wait time but don't you worry, the fish are fresh! So order an appetizer why don't you, to keep ya tummy occupied whilst you wait. My partner and I started off with the seaweed salad and edamame. The edmame is heavy with the garlic, so do keep in mind that your breath will smell like jarlic ok? You have been warned. You could also make the edmame spicy, but that's an extra charge! The seaweed salad? It has a bit of twang to it, so it's lightly sour. No overpowering though like the ones you'd have at a grocery store. Now the star of the dinner my bae and I had... The spicy yellowtail was not that spicy for me, by partner though? He had to take his break hahaha. He got baby taste buds. It is fresh, and for you texture girlies, it is mushy. So, yeah, you may want to opt out on that if you are not a fan of cold mushy food. The big Mac roll? It was so good. All the flavors combined and dances on your tongue. In a good way though loves. In a good way. This one is not so mushy as the spicy yellowtail, you can tast the blend of different textures of the sushi. And they complete one another. The king lobster roll! Boy was this one good. So for you lobster lovers, this is a must have. There's good chunk of the lobster meet in each bite, so do expect a blend of flavors mt seafood lovers. Expect that. read more

If you get the happy hour specials thats great, I didn't and ended up spending over $40 for vegetable fried rice, a sweet potato roll, happy hour edemame and a cocktail. HOWEVER, the food tastes me two days because that rice was a MASSIVE portion. The drinks are also very strong so as a lightweight I probably wouldn't get again because I couldnt finish it, but it sure was tasty. Service was great, our waiter was attentive and I would definitely come back, I would just budget better! read more

We'll have been kind of on a sushi trend lately and I'm wanting to try sushi in a lot of different places. We parked by the food court as I thought it was by the food court, ended up doing a big lap in the mall. It's where the old ruby tuesday reataurant used to be. We were sat down right away by a friendly staff member. We ordered the usual appetizers amd a sushi roll, which was by far the best sushi I've had being new to sushi. I ordered chicken teriyaki and the wife gotta combination teppenyaki we could not even finish all our food. There was so much of it. Definitely. Definitely. Recommend this restaurant if you love sushi and japanese food. There's a real modern vibe to it. Nice lighting, they have TV behind the bar. And on the wall. So you might get to catch a game or two. read more

Sushi & Shopping Sunday - Yes!!! First time at Edo Japanese Steakhouse at The Oaks Mall--the vibe. A full bar inside the mall? Genius. You can swing by for happy hour before or after shopping. Treat yourself either way. We came in on a Sunday, sushi craving and a laid-back lunchtime. The space-- Big upgrade-- is completely remodeled, brighter, and way fresher than what was there before. Contemporary clean lines, modern feel--easy to relax in. Let's talk food: We kept it classic with a variety of sushi rolls, our picks: * Shrimp Tempura Roll * Spicy Salmon Roll * Spicy Tuna Roll * Yellowtail Scallion Roll * Tuna Roll Fresh, bursting flavors, and paired with all the good sauces-- satisfying. I had a crafted gimlet from the bar--sour, sweet, and totally divine. Might come back just for the cocktails. (Did I mention they have a full bar?) The service was friendly and courteous, and we felt taken care of. read more

All of the positive reviews about this place are spot-on! The server was super friendly and helpful. The ambience was great, and the restaurant was very clean and modern. The food was exactly what I had hoped for. You can't go wrong! I will definitely be back. read more

A solid option inside Oaks Mall. We weren't expecting much since it's been hard to find good Asian - specifically Japanese (sushi, ramen, etc.) cuisine in Gainesville. This was a surprisingly solid place - the service was also great - very friendly staff! The salmon, escolar, and the hamachi did not taste as fresh, but they were still descent. The tuna, though, was actually really good! I could tell the tuna was fresh. read more

The experience here was disappointing overall. The wait times were extremely long, and unfortunately the quality of the food didn't justify the delay. We were seated for close to three hours from start to finish, and a major part of the issue seemed to be understaffing paired with overbooking. The restaurant accepted a very large party and continued taking additional tables despite not having enough servers to keep up, which created a ripple effect on service for everyone else. The food itself was just okay -- there are definitely better sushi and hibachi options in Gainesville that offer faster service and higher quality for the price. With better crowd management and pacing of reservations, the experience could be improved, but as it stands I wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

I ordered pickup, but I definitely plan to return and dine in. I got the lunch special steak and it was tender and juicy. I had to add a little bit of salt, but otherwise it was cooked nicely. The veggies and rice were great and I think the lunch portion was just enough to be filling but not stuffed. I think the price was fair as well. Next time I look forward to dinner and some appetizers! read more

The food was so good I almost forgot to post my pictures. I had an app, miso soup, and the Ocala roll. Service was great and quick. The atmosphere was a like a cute date night spot. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Solid sushi option in Gainesville. I was a little skeptical of eating sushi at a place in the mall, but decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is nice, clean, and inviting. The sushi was impressive if not amazing. I would give it a try again if I was at the mall shopping with the family and wanted to grab some sushi on the way out. Service was also above average. read more

Came here last Saturday for some pre Mother's Day festivities. Was skeptical since it's in the mall- but don't let that keep you from trying this gem out. When we arrived it was a bit busy and it was early afternoon. We waited a few minutes to get seated and it seemed like maybe they were short staffed or breaks. Nevertheless once seated we were taken care of quickly. Ordered some drinks first and they were fantastic . Next was the meal and we were so happy with the presentation and overall quality and quantity of the sushi. We will be back for sure! Another Gainesville win for sushi! read more

I went here in a Friday afternoon and was impressed by their lunch specials. They have sushi, teppanyaki which is hibachi style and bento box options. From those menus the teppanyaki caught my eye. It comes with so much food . It came with salad with option for ginger or ranch, miso or clear soup, vegetables, and your choice of protein. It is so filling. The food had great flavor and came out hot. My mom had the same as me but she got the shrimp teppanyaki and she loved it. We both had leftovers. The server was attentive and willing to explain items and their specialties to us. I really hope this place is here to stay. They have a variety of items in their menu from sushi to poke bowls as well. They have a nice bar area and a sushi area too where you can see the sushi chef at work. While we sat down we saw so many people come close to the restaurant and take a glance at the menu. I wish more people could come an enjoy this place. Everything is fresh and we had no complaints. For a $12.99 chicken lunch special offering , that can't be beat. Other restaurants charge almost twice as much. My only suggestion would be that the salad wasn't so wet and the miso soup just needed a little seasoning but nothing bad. I know they just recently opened but it is definitely worth a try . read more

This is my first time here and it is worth clarifying that it is a new restaurant in Oaks Mall. They have several lunch options and at good prices. Like bento box, sushi and teppanyaki. I ordered the shrimp teppanyaki and my daughter ordered the chicken teppanyaki. All delicious and full of flavor and very good quantities. Also the service was very good, our waiter Rhichie was very kind and friendly The place is very nice and clean and soft music. read more

Great service. Clean. Great food. The three biggies! (I wish price was 1-2$ less per entree, but that's life) Really renovated the old Ruby Tuesday's to something completely unrecognizable. The sushi is excellent, and ample portioned. The udon noodles are amazing. Best asian noodle dish in town. I've tried a bunch of the menu, and haven't been disappointed yet. The service is always friendly. I miss a lot of the choices we had in town during the 90s... and Edo is a welcome addition to a lacking subset. read more

I went for my birthday dinner last month and had a great experience! The food, drinks service, and ambiance were great! To start my husband and I had a sashimi appetizer which was delicious. I had a cucumber martini and my husband had a Japanese style old fashioned. For our entrees we had the Teppanyaki. I had chicken/steak with fried rice, veggies, which came with noodles and two shrimps which I thought was cute. My husband had shrimp and steak which came with the same sides. Our meals came with soup and salad. Everything was delicious and the portion size was huge. We both had left overs. For dessert I had an ice-cream tempura for my birthday which was complimentary and delicious and so sweet of them. read more

Not sure when it opened but we thought we'd give it a try. The place is easily accessible from outside and inside the mall. First look from the inside gives the impression of a higher end restaurant. We were greeted right away. Seating is roomy. They have an extensive bar menu if that's your thing. And the sushi counter is spectacular. We chose edamame and shumai . We loved all the rolls: rainbow, Alaska, Edo's and Tokyo rolls. Edo's was our favorite. Followed by Alaska. All others were a tie. Presentation is outstanding. I took pics so check it out. $76.25 the final bill including tax. read more

Been wanting to try this place and was so happy to actually finally have the chance to! Wow being that it used to have Ruby Tuesday here, the vibe is so inviting! I love the decor they have around the restaurant and it's a great place for parties/large groups. We had a group of 6 and it was perfect. They have an intensive menu which is what I like from sushi, apps, hibachi, al la carte items. I ordered the salmon hibachi with extra veggies no rice or noodles and each of the hibachi entrees with exception of the tofu and veggie one comes with 2 shrimp! I thought that was pretty cool. My friend ordered the sweet potato roll and I was able to try and that was delicious but it's one of my favorite rolls so I wouldn't expect anything less. Everyone dishes looked yummy we all enjoyed the food! The service/server was attentive although at the end I think he was getting tired of us because we had him coming back to our table quite a few times...oops, but they actually surprised us and brought out 3 fried ice creams for 3 of us who had birthdays and sang happy birthday to us! It was so nice and the fried ice cream was "literally" the icing on the cake. Very good experience, I can't wait to go back again and bring my husband! Also they have a full bar and they have TVs and the lighting is great too, very bright and modern feel space!!! If you enjoy good Asian, Japanese and/or sushi-check this place out! read more
