One of my favourite places in Sydney, Chilli Crab Omelette is one of the item that you have to try when you’re having breakfast in Sokyo!
Shoutout to all Sokyo’ staffs, specially Liz and Chase Kojima!
Awesome team!!
Only set menu is available during this period of time, which selected from its signature dishes.
The sashimi of salmon shingiku, miso kingfish and tai goma nori are extremely amazing! The fresh and balanced seasoning, the texture of sashimi deeply impressed me.
Dengakuman may not suitable for my taste. It’s hard to describe the flavor of the toothfish, too sweet for me.
Sushi is quite good while I’m not satisfy with the rice.
desserts are far exceed my expectation, which are extremely stunning. Love the frozen strawberry milkshake inside the Kyoto mochi, love the caramel macchiato that filled with coffee ice cream, coco nibs topped with whiskey foam as well.
BTW, there’re only two impressed dishes for me..... 😂
Only know they not doing omakase after arriving, a little disappointed. Wagyu steak the highlight but the rest pretty average.
Sokyo is one of my favourite restaurants in Sydney and I recommend you try it at least once. Food is absolutely delicious, presentation is picture perfect and service is great.
This time around I had the:
-sashimi platter- You can never go wrong here
-oysters- highly recommend if you like oysters
-maguro tataki- probably my fave dish of the night
-wagyu beef with pumpkin purée- I don’t normally like wagyu but this was exceptional!
-scallop dumpling - ok, so this dish was great If you took off the yuzu infused “bubbles/foam”, otherwise I thought it was an odd combo of flavours (my sister thought so too)
-Queensland roll- yummy
-tofu cheesecake- very nice and innovative dessert. It was not too tofu-y and even though I do not like tofu, I devoured this dish
-Goma street - unpopular opinion, I’ve never really been a huge fan of this dish but it’s one of their popular desserts and my sister quite enjoyed it
Sokyo is constantly booked out throughout the year at The Star and for good reason. It has amazing decor and a lively ambience that is perfect for an exciting night out. It is a definite must try at least once in Sydney. ⠀

🍽 DISHES SAMPLED ⠀
⭕️ GRILLED SALMON | Mouth-wateringly tasty, the salmon is incredibly flavourful with the perfect seasoning balance. The salmon skin added an amazing punch to the dish and the texture was meltingly soft to the taste. ⠀
⠀
⭕️ TRADITIONAL SASHIMI | The salmon, scampi, scallops, king fish and trout were all so fresh and glistened beneath the light. The king fish needed extra seasoning as it was quite plain on its own. ⠀
⠀
❌ TRADITIONAL NIGIRI | The sushi by comparison was quite average and the wasabi completely overpowered the dish. It definitely was something I didn’t expect from Sokyo and comparable to your everyday sushi train joints. ⠀
⠀
⭕️ WAGYU BEEF | The beef is savoury, juicy and quite tender. However the pieces on the edge of the sliced beef were quite chewy and unfortunately overcooked. I have tasted better wagyu beef at other Japanese fine dining restaurants. ⠀
⠀
⭕️ CHEF’S DESSERT PLATTER | Surprisingly, this was absolute highlight of the meal and I’ve never had such delicious treats before. The Yuzu Soufflé, Sokyo Mochi Ice Cream and Chocolate Fondant were immaculate; I really couldn’t fault them for anything. The whisky foam could be improved for the Caramel Macchiato as it disturbed rather than complimented the taste of caramel and chocolate. The ratio of foam to chocolate was simply too high.

Food is of top notch and so does the service! The highlight of the night is the toro roll, Queensland roll, wagyu steak, and the beef tataki, that really showed the uniqueness of Sokyo. Extremely delicious! The waitress Winnie can speak mandarin and is super helpful when it comes to ordering as this was the first time we visited Sokyo. All dishes that she recommended were really good. It was very busy on Sunday night, but we were served really well with great attention. Definitely gonna visit sokyo again!
Beautiful ambience, service and food. The food is of such a high standard and there is so much variety. My favourites would have to be their sashimi, crispy tuna sushi and the beef tataki! I would definitely go again. It is the perfect spot to go to celebrate a special occasion or a wonderful date night. There is also an amazing drink menu full of delicious cocktails.
Went here with my cousins during NYE 2019 for a quick sashimi fix. Despite the busy crowd, the service provided was great and the ambiance was exceptional!
It was our first time eating here and we can’t wait to go back! Their sashimi’s are so fresh and everything just melts in your mouth. This is probably one of the best Japanese restos in Sydney! 💕
The sashimi platter was absolutely amazing! We loved every piece of sashimi and that dish alone made our night. Also had the cuttlefish tempura and the lamb chops which was also made perfectly. Would definitely come back the next time we visit Sydney!
Food quality fantastic, very great service. But price not worth it
