We went here last Saturday night with a couple of friends for dinner. The decor of this restaurant is beautiful, the food was superb and the presentation was excellent. We had an excellent waiter, Michael, who couldn't have done enough for us. He even offered to order on our behalf if we should wish. So, of course after agreeing, he... More

Amazing food quality and presentation. Ordered toro and uni and it came on top of a real sea urchin. Price is on the high side. It was a busy place on Sat night.

Fantastic restaurant, walked in on a Wednesday night with no reservations and received spectacular service. Staff were friendly and attentive. The chefs custom made a set menu on the night for my partner which was very kind also. Highly recommend Sokyo for those who have not yet tried! Cocktails are amazing as well as the succulent food.

I have never been a fan of Japanese food or fish, so I was not really expecting to like this restaurant, but I loved it, even the sashimi and things. It was so different to run of the mill Japanese places I have tried and disliked before. It was beautiful. The service was impeccable - both friendly, helpful and incredibly... More

Since it was the first visit, we asked Chef to pick the menu for us. We were seated in front of Chef Chase Kojima at the sushi bar. We started with tai crab and yuzu honey scallop, then moved to main course, dengakuman miso cod fish, robata pork belly skewer and lamp chop. The food presentation was unique and fantastic.... More

Sokyo restaurant is a must visit once experience. My wife and I visited last night and were amazed at the whole experience. The decor is incredible, service impeccable, and food is mind blowing. Don't bother ordering, our waitress asked what we don't like, recommended the omakase menu and the dishes just kept coming out. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic dinner at Sokyo. Started with nice and fresh Pacific oyster with Kyoto baby pear and ginger vinaigrett. Followed by a small dish of kingfish miso ceviche with very thin and crispy potyato on top, very nice texture. Hokkaidoscallops were fresh and lovely with those little miso flakes and tomato dices decorating. Dengakuman is a quiet facinating dish, caramelised... More

We love interesting food done well in general and we love the country of Japan. We eat Japanese food a lot both in Japan and in other places in the world. Sokyo was polished and clever. The service was faultless. The waiters were quick and attentive and the food was fresh fresh fresh! Brilliant all around and certainly struck us... More
