We fancied a quick bite to eat before going to see Beverley Knight (and the fantastic Cherry BlackStone) at the Broadway Theatre last night so took a wander down Wentworth Street to the Edoya Noodle Bar.
At the risk of sounding like a reviewing food critic, it was so nice in there I couldn’t help but post a comment.
fast food
Not that we were in any rush, but Edoya really are experts at fast-but-fantastic food. The menu really lends itself well to all occasions so whether you’re celebrating a birthday or just grabbing a bite in your lunch break, you never feel rushed or sitting around waiting for your food.
raw fish
Any fish is rarely high on my menu choice so I’ve never had the sushi but I’m told that the sashimi is worth trying, and the dishes look quite pretty if rolls of fish and rice are your thing.
Instead, I went for the familiar option and browsed the ramen, rice and noodle menus for something firey!
One of Peterborough’s best kept secrets…
I’m much more a fan of Japanese/Thai/Vietnamese cuisine than Chinese so Edoya opening a year or so ago ticked all the right boxes for me. In a city saturated by pizza, it’s great when new restaurants offer something different. One of Peterborough’s best kept secrets in restaurant terms, we’ve been a few times before and it’s been consistently good – quick service, freshly cooked food and a great atmosphere.
Edoya’s interior is typical noodle bar basic chic with it’s white walls, kitchen to one side and the bench tables arranged in long rows which gives it a really relaxed feel.
Going for a Vietnamese theme, I ordered the Ga Nuong Xa for a side dish – three gorgeous marinated chicken skewers which came kicking with a fresh chilli dip, followed by the Com thit Nuong (or a “51″ on the menu) of sliced pork on rice.
The flavours of these two dishes were fantastic and I wouldn’t hesitate in having them again.
The better half went for Teriyaki salmon and Tori kare (chicken on noodles) which weren’t really my thing (too fishy, too creamy, not enough chilli!) and she enjoyed them both but did said she would have rather gone for the Niku Kare Gohan we’d had on a previous visit.
As usual, Edoya didn’t disappoint on this occasion and we left full and content. Don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself!

Hello there i think you should compare Mizaki restraunt and Edoya Noodle bar. Mizaki is by the games work shop down the side street near anne summers. It has such delicious food an is really cheap too and has vegetarian choices on the menu.

Hi Jason,
Misaki IS Edoya! At least, it was called Edoya and changed it’s name a while ago to Misaki. See my post at http://blog.jofftastic.co.uk/2009/04/edoya-renamed-to-misaki/ and yes I agree it’s absolutely fantastic. Quite possibly my favourite restaurant in the City Centre.

I just went to Misaki with a co-worker for lunch.
It’s fantastic!
I had the Niku Kare Gohan, onions, red & green pepper, chicken, pork and beef in a mild curry sauce on a bed of steamed rice.
I loved it.
I came back with what’s left and now everyone else has gone to get some too.
I’m really chuffed with the dish and it was really cheap too.
