Memphis is a barbecue town. Just down the street from Central Barbeque is a Edo Japanese Restaurant. Edo is sandwiched between a Jewish deli and a meat market. Since the restaurant is set back from the road I drove by twice before I found it.

I didn't choose Edo on the basis of recommendations or reviews, it happened to be the closest Japanese restaurant in my GPS. Edo is a medium size restaurant with booths and tables in dark woods. There are blue curtains and hangings and strangely no sushi bar.

With no sushi bar, a quick perusal of the menu made me wonder whether the place even served sushi. I ordered a soda and some gyoza as I looked over the menu. Finally, I found the sushi on the back page. I ordered a crab sunomono salad and Miso soup. I also chose a Philadelphia roll and a Rainbow roll.

The qyoza was tasty and the wrapper had a nice texture. The sunomono was likewise good. The fish in the rolls was tasty and firm.

Everything at Edo was good but nothing was exceptional.
