Seriously some of the best sushi in Brisbane. It's always busy which is hard on a lunch break but testimony to the quality of the food

Nice clean sushi. Always fun to order of the sushi train, but great to get a few of the special pieces off the menus as well.

We ate at Sushi Edo twice while visiting Brisbane for our family vacation which was only 5 days long, so there's a good reason why we came here twice. I noticed in the iPad device where you input your orders that for some items there was no price indicated so I called a server over to ask. That's where she mentioned that all nigiris, aburi, and select small rolls are 3.80 AUD. We ordered a variety of nigiris and aburis which they had a huge variety of, see my photos. Our personal faves included the baby scallop, ika, wagyu beef, hotate, and hamachi. I wouldn't say the quality of the fish and seafood was top quality but for the price you are you paying it is fairly priced for the quality provided. Upon checkout they give you 3% off your bill if you decide to use cash. Overall food and good service so we'll be sure to visit next time we visit Brisbane! read more

The rice is dry and this was at 1130 am on a Sat when the turnover was huge. To add insult one of my dishes had a huge black long hair. When pointed out it was rectified immediately. But it should just not happen. Don't waste your money read more

Having opened only about a week ago, Sushi Edo seems to have set off some sort of sushi renaissance in Newmarket: after a quite few opening days, you're now lucky to be able to get a seat, and often at peak times there's a line out the door (nothing of the kind has ever been seen in the Newmarket Shopping Centre, expect possible Coles on a Sunday morning). First things first: Sushi Edo will not turn your sushi world upside down: the rice isn't particularly well seasoned, for one thing. The sushi is not mind-blowing, and it doesn't do any "post-sushi"/"newshi" crazy town stuff. And there's often quite a wait on takeaway orders (probably because they're madly trying to keep the train stocked up). But it has many other redeeming features. The shop is ridiculously clean (unlike many other sushi trains; probably because it's new!), with a shiny, lacquered "track" for the train. The staff are super friendly and helpful (and they're EVERYWHERE; I have honestly never seen so many staff in any sort of restaurant, fast food or otherwise). Each plate off the train is $3.50, so no messing around with different coloured plates and, if you're not that interested in the train, there's quite a large a la carte menu (at busy times, I'd probably recommend doing this, so you can sit outside rather than trying to get a table on the train inside). I wasn't a huge fan when I first tried it, but it's slowly growing on me. The tempura avocado and vegetable tempura nirigizushi are my absolute favourite; I could almost live on them (and I generally hate hot avocado). My biggest tip is: ask for everything without mayo (I don't know why the mayo is put on everything because it's gross). I hope this is the first step in the revitalisation of the Newmarket shops, and by the look of the crowds gathered outside every lunch and dinner, it certainly seems that it is. If you're in the area and want a good lunch (and aren't up for Vinnies), I'd recommend giving Sushi Edo a go. read more

This spot has been on my mind for a while, my partner and I would go to have brilliantly made sushi during his lunch or after he's off work. I enjoy the atmosphere more so when it's quieter in the restaurant, but they are deservedly popular! They utilise an iPad to order menu wise, which is great, just make sure to sanitise during this time. Sushi and Japanese cuisine as a whole, I grew up being lucky enough to indulge in, my dad shared the experiences with us the majority of the time, him working in the city meant more sushi to us as a kid. Out of the many delightful sushi places in Brisbane, Sushi Edo is definitely highly regarded. read more

Best sushi! Always super fresh! Plates are $3.50 The kitchen closes at 9 and not 9:30 like the opening hours suggests. read more

Having heard mixed reviews about Sushi Edo but more average to good than bad, I was keen to check out this sushi train operation in Newmarket that had an iPad ordering system. Personally I think it is up there with the press-button-to-order system that Korean restaurants have - easy, efficient, doesn't waste anyone's time. The iPad system is even better since you can peruse the menu easily and adds a fun dimension to it all. Anyway I finally got to check it out and I can say I'm definitely a fan. I've heard that the queues can get pretty crazy but I we waltzed in and grabbed a couple of seats at the train easily around 5:45pm on a Wednesday. The iPad system was relatively easy to use and there was still a good selection of items on rotation on the train. Intelligently, all cold items so there were no sad, limp looking tempura or hardened gyoza constantly passing by. The menu is divided up into nigiri, seared & ships, small rolls, large rolls, hand rolls, sashimi, hot meals, desserts and drinks. All of the sushi bar the sashimi are $3.50 a plate, which makes it incredibly well priced and so much easier. We ordered green tea ($1.50) which arrived as cups with reusable teabags - you can order refills (free) via the iPad too. Wasabi and ginger are available on the train and the basic soy sauce and utensils are on the bar as usual. We ordered a range of items including seared beef nigiri, the Treasure Box (seared salmon and scallop), tuna nigiri, salmon nigiri, black rice tuna and avocado salad roll, and the seaweed ship. All were delicious with the Treasure Box and tuna nigiri as stand outs. The tuna and salmon were both very fresh and they were really decent sized pieces. I thought the rice was really good - the grains were separated and not clumped together too much and it just was lightly seasoned. I'm not a sushi rice expert but I think this is a good thing. They use a sweet looking machine to make the nigiri pieces too. Altogether our meal for two came under $30 which is absolutely outstanding value. Perhaps we're not huge eaters but we were really satisfied and I've paid more for a lot less at other sushi trains. Definitely a fan and will be back! Note: I just read on their Facebook page that a new store will be opening in March on Elizabeth St near the Wintergarden in the CBD....happy times! read more

Best value for money sushi in Brisbane. Their iPad ordering systems at each table make it super efficient and quick to order and track what you're eating. Their menu is extensive and almost everything is $3.50 - all bar the ala carte larger menu items. Their edamame are always fresh and the dumplings are delicious. read more

The price is the main drawcard here, at $3.50 a plate, it's no wonder there's a queue out the door, at dinner time. Go for lunch to have a bit more elbow room. Freshly made, well priced sushi. Not licenced. read more

My (new) boyfriend had been dying to introduce me to this particular place, but the first time we came here we were in a rush because I had work in 45 minutes and there was a line. The second time it was packed inside, but we managed to get a quiet table for 2 outside and ordered from their iPads. The service was good, although we mentioned that my boyfriend was allergic to dairy, yet they continued serving everything with mayo on it. We kind of wished they'd let us leave special instructions with each order! The food was amazing, there was a dish that I loved in particular but sadly could not remember the name exactly, I think it was along the lines of "Lion King" and it was under the "large rolls" tab. I think we'll come back soon enough. :) read more

Great salmon sashimi. Prices are fair and it fun to watch the crew. Will be back for sure.

One of the best sushi trains. All dishes on the train and most that you order are all $3.50 so it is easy to keep track of what you spend. The food is pretty fresh and you can place an order off an ipad in front of you so you don't have to wait for someone to come around. I would recommend the treasure pockets and scallop nigiri. read more

I love Sushi Edo Newmarket. I will go out of my way massively to eat here. I think it's the best Sushi Edo in Brisbane too. I've been to a couple of the others, but Newmarket has always been perfect. Any time I'm sad or tired or cranky, I drive across Brisbane and wait in line to get a spot for Sushi Edo Newmarket. Yes the lines can be long, and yes the wait can sometimes take a bit of time, but once you are in, it is heaven, and the service is rapid and perfect. Thanks Sushi Edo! read more

Sushi Edo is our favourite (and conveniently, our closest) sushi joint in Brisbane. Turn up, put your name on the list and await a coveted table at the bar. The line moves fairly quickly. All plates are $3.50 and there is iPad ordering. So, if you enjoy seared aburi, you can order it fresh. They offer a bunch of interesting styles and flavours, and seem to add to the menu fairly regularly. The plates aren't really huge, but that's not a problem because they are so tasty and cheap. The staff are super friendly too! read more

Come here all the time with my friend all the food and staff is always great. Missing a point because it is ALWAYS crowded and you've got to wait ages to get a seat, which I guess is good because it shows its popular, but I get pretty sick of waiting around, sometimes up to 40 mins. Additionally, the eftpos minimum is a ridiculous $30 which is always a pain, so make sure you bring cash. It really should be no more than $10-15 minimum read more

Love, love love Sushi Edo! Best sushi on this side of town. Its cheap and great quality of food. Good location and always full with locals. Best to be prepared for a little wait if you go at peak times. Well worth it. Great staff and good venue. read more

We reserve 4 sits at night but after we arrived, they told us they only reserve the sits outside. So we ended up waiting to sit inside, but the line moves fast, just waited for a while. The sushi taste great. Ordering from ipad is convenience and foods are served quickly. Definitely will come back again! read more

We come here so often and are always happy! The sushi is consistently good, the staff are amazing and the service is top notch.

Food is good, but last two time I really can not enjoy food there because the service was terrible. e.g, waitress stood next to me so I said can you please refill my green tea?she looks very intolerable said do you know how to use our IPAD? I said yes but you right here.She do not care try to teach me how to use they IPAD, before she left she said now you know how to use it, this called refill. then she just turn away........ I use they iPad call staff, at least four staff came to me keep ask me what do I need..... I try to ask receipt every time, but they only give you EFTPOS copy, when you said Tax receipt, then they will always show you a surprise look, just like they finally understand. read more

Waiting outside Sushi Edo for a coveted seat is pretty much par for the course. Not because the service is slow, but because it is excellent and the dishes on the 'train' are fresh, delicious and cheap at $3.50 per plate. Don't be put off by waiting, write down your name and take a number and before long you'll be loudly greeted and seated at the train on a stool or in a booth. If you really can't wait order takeaway from an iPad or pop next door to Grill'd, it's good but never pumping like Sushi Edo. I eat dinner here with my two kids at least once a fortnight and no matter how hard we try the bill is always under $70. It's become our tradition because the service and food is consistently excellent - even the desserts! The iPads are brilliant for ordering eg beautifully presented sashimi, miso soup, hot dishes, Japanese soft drinks and glasses of water. All delivered swiftly by the switched on staff. If your favourite isn't on the train just order it and it'll be freshly made and passed to you from the central preparation area. Sushi Edo have three other places in Brisbane including Sunnybank and the CBD. If Newmarket is any indication they deserve their success. read more

So happy to have Sushi Edo in my local area. It's tasty, it's cheap, it's fresh and it's clean. Can't ask for more than that. I didn't score it higher because the taste doesn't blow your mind but considering the price, it's spot on. read more

Great place to chow down on some sushi! Lots of energy. The staff of friendly and helpful. The whole experienced is great. A place that seems to have a cue almost any day of the week is a sure sign of good food and service. You won't be disappointed. read more
