There can't be anyone who hasn't heard of or tried or seen Sushi Train. One could believe they're indomitable but Sushi Edo is here to take on the task and may just well succeed.
For those who've been to Sushi Train you'd know of the abundance of mayonnaise and the never ending combination of mayonnaise with everything from fried chicken to avocado to salmon. Menu hasn't changed for a long time and why would there be a need? There was scarcely competition.
Stumbled upon Sushi Edo in the CBD while going to a Korean place and the fitout with the $3.50 all plates sign pulled us in. We thought we would be in for crappy, chinese imitating japanese style stuff but instead we got Sushi Train style but with more menu items, easier service with the order pad at the table, better prices--and have I mentioned better variety?
Not that I think Sushi Train is a dying or bad franchise but Sushi Edo really puts up some serious competition offering unique plates such as Uni (sea urchin) and scampi, lotus root chips, octopus salad in addition to your usual train offerings. And there is mayo but just not on everything. Did I mention the $3.50 all plates?

| Aburi Hotate (Grilled scallops) |
Given all the above no wonder they were busy. We also tried the Nundah store the next day (they have a few stores, CBD, Nundah, Sunnybank Plaza) --pretty much the same quality. I don't want to see the demise of Sushi Train but I certainly want to see Sushi Edo stay around.
P.S they serve alcohol too
