| - Edo Garden was quite a disappointment. I've been a huge fan of hibachi-style Japanese food for most of my life. We recently moved to Monona and decided to take visiting relatives there for dinner. While the staff went out of their way to accommodate our party, the rest of the service was mediocre. Our hibachi chef was sub-par. Part of the hibachi experience is the entertainment factor of watching the chef's fancy, fast work with his tools on the grill. Our chef was unable to perform. He also spoke no English at all, which caused some confusion with our steak preferences. Finally, the food itself was just not what I've come to expect from a hibachi grill. The flavors were not very good. Everything was cooked mostly in butter. The miso soup was very good, but all of the actual grilled food, not so much. Our server brought out a plate of ice cream, whipped cream, and drizzled chocolate, which my young daughter and I enjoyed. I'm not sure why and I don't think we were charged for it, but it was a very nice gesture. I may go back sometime and give their sushi a try, but I think I'll go back down to Janesville or Rockford for my hibachi grill fix.
