Edo-Ya Tokyo Cuisine

At Edo-Ya Teppan Yaki, we are proud to offer a unique and authentic dining experience that combines the rich traditions of Japanese cuisine with the vibrant energy of modern-day California. Our story begins in the late 19th century, when Japanese immigrants first arrived in the United States, bringing with them the flavors and techniques that would eventually shape the Japanese-American culinary landscape.

The Birth of Japanese Cuisine in the United States

As Japanese restaurants began to spring up in cities across the country, they catered primarily to Japanese-American communities. However, it was not until the 1960s, with the rise of globalization and cultural exchange, that Japanese cuisine began to gain widespread popularity outside of immigrant communities. The introduction of sushi, teppanyaki, and other Japanese dishes to the American palate opened a new frontier in culinary exploration.

The Art of Teppanyaki

Teppanyaki, literally "cooked on iron skillet, " is a popular Japanese cooking style that has captured the hearts of diners around the world. At Edo-Ya Teppan Yaki, our skilled chefs use large iron griddles to cook a wide variety of dishes, from fresh slices of marbled beef to tender chicken and succulent seafood. The theatrical performance of cooking on the hot iron plate, accompanied by flying spatulas and sizzling sounds, makes for an unforgettable dining experience.

The World of Sushi

Sushi, perhaps the most iconic Japanese dish, has a rich and storied history that spans centuries. Originating in China, sushi was introduced to Japan in the 7th century, where it evolved into the complex and delicious art form we know today. From the delicate flavours of maki-sushi to the vibrant colours of nigiri-sushi, Edo-Ya Teppan Yaki's sushi offerings are designed to delight even the most discerning palates.
