Great food and good atmosphere. Prices are similar to other “premium” sushi places but the quality is outstanding. Besides sushi they have an extensive menu with Japanese appetizers and skewers. Their mochi ice cream (especially mango flavor) was outstanding. We got the omakase sashimi in these 9 little boxes which gave a very good variety of different types of fish.

Japanese food is one of my most favorite cuisine and I have a few on my keeper list, and Soko Soko become one on the top of my list as soon as I discovered it. The omakase sashimi set and everything was fresh and great quality. Compare to other Japanese restaurant in the same price range, Soko soko offers better selection/ quality IMO. The omakase sashimi set even includes Amaebi, which is a delight for me! We ordered gyoza and chicken karaage for appetizer and they both were better than most places I tried before. The batter in chicken karaage was very light and crisp, and it was served on a wire rack on top of a plate. A small detail but shows how they put attention to detail because it helps keep the batter crisp and not soggy/ oily. I also tried a Chirachi lunch bowl, and although it

The space at Soko Soko is thoughtfully designed—bright, modern, and warm with natural wood and an open counter where you can watch the chefs work. The festive decor made it feel extra fun for the season, and the handwritten specials board had an awesome lineup (Hokkaido uni, shima-aji, kinmedai, kanpachi, plus Kumamoto oysters and tuna kama). If you like sushi spots with a calm, upscale-but-comfortable atmosphere, this is it.

★★★★☆ 4.0 I C · Dec 2025

I went for lunch on a Saturday with my 6yo and we loved it at Soko Soko! The waitress was incredibly nice, and we loved everything we ordered. I had to deluxe chirashi, my son had plain udon and tamago nigiri, and we shared chicken kaarage which my son absolutely loved and devoured. It was a wonderful lunch. Another time I ordered takeout on a weekday, and I picked up the chirashi, the sushi / nigiri dish, and a tonkatsu bento. My son and I enjoyed the chirashi (although a bit too much rice) and tonkatsu, however my husband said the nigiri/ sushi didn’t taste good and was stale despite the plate looking beautiful. The service that time was Ok, they told me AFTER I paid that it would take 30-40mins (!!) but thankfully it ended up being closer to 25m. My dine-in experience was wonderful so

★★★★★ 5.0 David Sopkin · Aug 2025

Absolutely 10/10 Japanese restaurant. Incredible, amazing food and the staff was really cool. The food is totally divine. My favorite dishes were all of them, but especially the lobster tacos, chicken skin skewers and mushroom skewers. It's one of those restaurants that brings a tear to your eye and you dream of the food for weeks afterward.
