Lunch at @edo.izakaya

Tucked into the heart of East London, EDO is a spot that balances modern Japanese flair with warm hospitality. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with slick interiors and a relaxed yet elevated vibe—it’s the kind of place that feels effortlessly cool without trying too hard. The menu is a well-curated mix of izakaya-style small plates and elevated mains. Highlights? The beef tataki was delicate and punchy, with a yuzu kick that danced on the tongue. All the sushi was super fresh and very well made. Delicious crispy tempura prawns a must order. Service was slick—attentive without hovering, with staff who actually know their menu and aren’t afraid to make recommendations. Cocktails were sharp too—their take on a shiitake negroni was dangerously easy to drink.

Whether you're there for a date, a low-key celebration, or just want to eat somewhere that knows what it's doing, EDO is a solid shout. Pricey? A little. Worth it? Definitely
