Edo Asia, nestled in Southampton's historic High Street, offers an immersive Pan-Asian dining experience that transports guests from the city's medieval charm to a fantastical Japanese night garden. Upon entering, diners are enveloped in a landscape adorned with cherry blossoms, cascading waterfalls, and a starlit sky, creating a serene and magical atmosphere.
The restaurant's interior is a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary elements, featuring moss-green banquettes, shoji-style screens, and iconic cultural motifs such as Buddhas, Ganesha, and Samurai armour. This thoughtful design sets the stage for a leisurely dining experience that encourages sharing and enjoyment among friends, family, and colleagues.
Edo Asia's menu is a celebration of diverse Asian cuisines, including Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Malaysian, and Thai influences. Start off with a selection of small plates, with everything from miso soup with silk tofu and seaweed, and soft shell crab with dry chilli and spring onion, to salmon carpaccio served with homemade sumiso and wasabi.
Mains span a variety of tempura dishes, with maki rolls, and sharing platters also on offer. Be sure to order one of the site’s signature plates, straight from the robata grill. Opt for the likes of sea bass yaki with seasonal veg, chicken teriyaki that’s been garnished with sesame or black cod miso, or wagyu steak for something more indulgent. The drinks menu offers a selection of cocktails, including classic options with Asian twists and inventive concoctions featuring sakes and Japanese whiskies.
For those seeking a vibrant nightlife experience, Edo Asia's Cellar Bar and party rooms provide a dynamic setting with multi-coloured light displays and DJ sounds, perfect for creating memorable moments. Whether you're planning a special celebration or a casual evening out, Edo Asia offers a unique and captivating dining experience in the heart of Southampton.
