Edo Japanese Restaurant Menu

Edo Japanese Restaurant gives central Hamilton a Japanese menu with far more depth than a short sushi stop. The Victoria Street restaurant runs its own live ordering service for pickup and delivery, making the food accessible for a planned meal at home as well as a visit to the city centre. Its range stretches from delicately handled raw fish to warming noodles, fried favourites, rice bowls and desserts, so diners can build either a light selection or a generous multi-course order.

Sushi is treated as a broad category rather than a single mixed box. New Zealand king salmon appears with avocado or fish roe, while tuna, marinated eel, scallop, sweet prawn and seared jumbo prawn create markedly different pieces. Chicken katsu and inari give cooked and meat-free alternatives. Sashimi can be ordered by fish or as increasingly elaborate platters, allowing a table to concentrate on salmon and tuna or compare a wider seafood selection.

The cooked side of the menu is equally useful for sharing. Agedashi tofu, takoyaki, vegetable spring rolls and pork, prawn or vegetable dumplings can open the meal, followed by karaage, chicken nanban or crisp chicken katsu. Tempura ranges from vegetables and kakiage to prawns and assorted seafood. Teriyaki chicken, tofu and grilled eel offer less fried routes, while a deep-fried mixed platter gathers chicken, prawn, squid and snapper for a larger group.

Big bowls provide the comfort-food centre of Edo's menu. Shoyu, miso, spicy miso, tantan and tonkotsu ramen sit beside hot or chilled udon and soba, including beef, curry and tempura versions. Donburi covers oyako, gyudon, katsu, karaage, eel, teriyaki and seared salmon, and Japanese curries can be paired with chicken, prawns or fish. Matcha ice cream, toasted dango and mochi make a fitting final step after such an expansive savoury choice.
