    Have always rated Soto as one of the best. Last night was no different. Service was excellent and make sure you ask about the off menu items, some real treats in there!

    We always have a wonderful meal every time we come to Soto. The food, the drinks, the service - it’s always great. 2/3 of us tried the premium Omakase and it was absolutely incredible!

    Our favorite place to celebrate birthdays! We are always well taken care of here. Annelise was fantastic. Attended to making everything we ordered gluten free for celiac disease. Very knowledgeable about the wines and menu items. Can’t wait to go back :)

    It’s not really sushi, is it? Everything was drowned in other flavours and oils so you couldn’t taste the small pieces of fish. The Spicy Toro hand roll was the only thing that tasted of fish. The soft shell crab was drowned in a sauce that didn’t fit the dish at all. The server was aggressive but only there half the time. Noisy and arranged like an airline lounge.
