Premium Assorted Sashimi edo japanese restaurant

Edo Japanese Restaurant 

You may find many Japanese restaurants that have “Edo” in their names. And that is because “Edo” is an old name for Tokyo. Moreover, it also stands for the prosperous Edo Period (beginning of 17th century), where the routes of modern Japanese cuisine grow from. 

Edo Japanese Restaurant chain in Macau has five branches–at The Venetian Macao, The Londoner Macao, City of Dreams, Hotel Lisboa, and One Central Macau. Get ready for a wide range of traditional Japanese dishes prepared with high-quality fresh ingredients. Sushi and sashimi imported from Japan are their forte. But everything from the grill, tempura, soups, and rice dishes is more than satisfying. For an abundant feast, don’t miss out on their signature Hida Wagyu Teppanyaki and deluxe sushi selection. 

Opening hours: One Central, 10:30am–11:00pm; The Londoner Macao, 11:30am – 11:00pm; The Venetian Macao, 11:30am–9:30pm; Hotel Lisboa, 11:00am–4:00am; City of Dreams, 11:30am–11:30pm
