Business Description

Edo Japan originated the concept of serving Japanese style fast food, cooked on Teppanyaki grills. Customers experience food that is fresh and nutritious cooked with style and flair right before our eyes. This original and creative idea has made Edo Japan one of the most popular and successful franchise chains in North America. Edo Japan's franchise restaurants are presently experiencing explosive growth and excellent returns with both our food court and street front concepts.
