The Take
Order sashimi or nigiri only at EDO Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar. The hibachi is seed-oil theater that drowns decent fish in vegetable oil and mayo-based sauces.
This is classic American-Japanese mall execution where the show sells the meal and the sides sell the seed oils. Status buyers chase the flaming onion volcano for nostalgia or family fun while the kitchen defaults to white rice and tempura.
The Verdict
The identity play here is nostalgia for teppanyaki spectacle mixed with virtue signaling around "Japanese" food. Most diners end up paying for fried sides and mayo that mask the decent fish they actually came for.
Order the sashimi platter or nigiri and leave the rice and sauces on the table.
