I came here again because I have been told time and time
I came here again because I have been told time and time again that this place is the best Japanese in Sydney...but if this is the case this is pathetically sad. In my last visit...the problem was the service and the service really defined how poorly the food was for me this time. We had plates of food that were given to us with 0 explanation (particularly the sushi) and the flavors of the tasting menu was so standard. On instagram, this place exudes a great vibe and perhaps the experience is different for those who are friends with the chefs....but this restaurant is really like a random midtown Japanese restaurant in New York that would go bankrupt in 1 month. I really don't understand the hype of this restaurant (chaco bar is way better even tho they do not do sushi). But in a day and age where placing a few truffles on dishes and saying that this dish has toro in it is a personality and lifestyle....I can see why this restaurant is great with certain people. But for those who want that extra enjoyment...a restaurant that does not just rely on the laurels of good ingredients.....find another place.
Be the first to ReplyGreat service - need to book before attending as it gets
Great service - need to book before attending as it gets really busy. Hugeee selection of sake and beverages ! Food was good quality - really fresh but everything felt heavy on the stomach and each dish has a lot of either chilli/ wasabi/ pepper or thick sauces! Needed a fresh dish and when we ordered a salad - even this had chilli through it ! The water is $9 a bottle so beware and ask for tap water to save some $$$. Duck dish shown was $52!! Hefty price for such a small portion. Great experience overall!

Eh. I wasn't that impressed. The fish was fresh and sushi was good. We sat at the sushi bar which I had read was omakase only but that wasn't the case. We were able to order whatever we wanted. The disappointing part was the sushi chefs basically ignored you. They didn't engage. They made your sushi in front if you but then handed it off to the side and it was delivered by someone else. Instead of just handing it to us. I didn't expect them to be my bff but they never asked how anything was or if we wanted more. We were excited they had aburi style sushi and it was good but missing something. We did like the uni toro truffle special they had. I did see some dishes that looked really good so maybe we just didn't order very well. The bar chairs were uncomfortable too.
Be the first to ReplyWalked into the restaurant expecting to get Omakase after
Walked into the restaurant expecting to get Omakase after one of the reviews I read. After I asked the waiter about it, she immediately said they didn't offer that. I thought to myself, that's strange, I read all over the internet how great the Omakase was and I immediately pulled out my phone to make sure I didn't have the wrong venue. To my discovery, I WAS at the correct place so I decided to ask the sushi chef at the counter about it. He had no idea and asked the head chef, Sano-San, and Sano mentioned that it was only available 6 months out and for repeat customers? WTF? I have never experienced anything like this before at a Japanese restaurant. If I want to order Omakase, I should be able to get this on the spot without being a repeat customer or needing to book 6 months out. To my surprise, there were a group of ladies who were sitting right next to us at the bar who were eating the Omakase menu and were there for the very first time. Strike one.The service there wasn't very good either. A colleague that I was dining with order a glass of plum wine and it took literally 10 minutes to get to us. How long does it take to pour a glass of plum wine? At the end of the meal, we also asked for the check and it took another 10 minutes. We were sitting there wondering where it was and I had to flag the waitress down again to ask her why it was taking to so long. Strike two.As for the food, it was decent. We had a sashimi platter, kingfish furikake, and scallops that were ok but nothing to rave about. The food saved the meal but the initial feeling that I couldn't get Omakase was a HUGE letdown. I shouldn't have to read countless reviews or scour the internet to realize that their Omakase is reservation only and booked out for months. A huge disappointment for a tourist.

Walked in and was offered a table for 5:30 if we could be finished by 7pm. Which was not a problem! The service was very good. We asked about Omakase, but that was not available. The sashimi platter was presented with the fog/smoky dry ice. Pretty cool for the kids. The fish was so fresh and delicious. The other items we tried included duck, miso cod, salmon roll, crunchy tuna roll and the tempura white fish was excellent. Pricey, but you're paying for the decor, sushi bar, hotel location, etc.

Had a nice dinner here at Sokyo after a long day of cruising harbour bay on a catered boat. Definitely on the fancier side of Sydney's Japanese Cuisine but nothing close in comparison to Nobu. I have to say that Sydney in general wins with their tender Wagyu beef dishes (and lamb). The Uni was not fresh at all and was the most disappointing part of dinner. However, their sashimi was fresh and their presentation was beautiful.
Be the first to ReplyBooked a table for two at 10pm and arrived a touch early.
Obviously this was the opportunity to get stuck into something from the drinks menu at the bar. Staff seem like a good bunch of humans, and would you believe they can actually smile. Honest to god. It was (forgive the mum phrase here) nice to see. Anyhow our table opened up early. Walking through the place i find the stylings a little bizarre. For perspective I'm a 35 year old whose secret shames includes occasional Sunday morning coco pops, coffee and and video games. Its like a PG rated nautical bdsm sex dungeon with the black tipped rope lashings. Like that Britney Spears song you know? not yet a girl, not yet a woman. It's neither here nor there in colour and feel. Anyways the wait staff are also lovely humans. Friendly attentive and helpful when asked what's good homeboy. Management, hats off to you and your people. The food, good lord man, is wonderful. The tempura batter used on the Red Snapper and Pumpkin has a delicate almost crystalline structure with this wonderful ability to actually make us both stop talking for ten minutes while we attempted to inhale our food. We followed with Salmon Belly Aburi which tastes exactly as you'd expect and finished with the Aylesbury Duck. Man alive. It was wonderful. I mean take a moment to truly appreciate what a wonderful job the chef and god did in blessing us with this tasty tasty duck and dish. Amen.

Fresh fish and expertly prepared sushi, but comes as a premium. The sashimi platter is fancy schmancy with a cup of dry ice that serves no other purpose than to look pretty. The sashimi is no doubt fresh, as are the fish in the rolls. The rice is well cooked, seasoned and formed. Convenient location at the Star, and the service is excellent.
Be the first to ReplyI was staying at the Star Casino and had the buffet
I was staying at the Star Casino and had the buffet breakfast. Tons of Japanese cuisines and you're also able to order from a menu with the buffet. Key winners from the buffet section was the juices (comes in a sale pourer), smoked salmon, and congi (Asian rice porridge). Would I come back? At least once every time I visit Sydney and staying at the star

We had been hearing many good things for a long time about Sokyo at the Star, not only their Japanese dinner, but also their buffet breakfast. As we began 2018, we decided it was finally time to visit. Do make sure you book ahead of time as it can be hard to secure a spot.In attendance were our insta foodie friends and contributor Sakinav and one of the best food bloggers in Sydney: Spooning Australia, as acclaimed by the Good Food Guide. We all met at Sokyo, a modern restaurant with floral displays, neatly set tables and an inviting buffet. The place very much had a hotel feel. We are all seated, scoped out the offerings on display at the buffet and also perused the menu. We were in two minds regarding out choice for the menu and whether to get al a carte or buffet. $22.50 for a la carte or $28 for buffet. From the ala carte menu are a range of Japanese inspired dishes. However, you can also go for the $38 for an a la carte option, buffet, tea and coffee, that is the choice! What could be better?All of us ordered something different from the al a carte menu. Whilst we wait for the ala carte dish, we start a conga line back and forth from the buffet, shuffling around like busy little worker ants. Everyone has a hand in arranging food at the table. You'd have think there was a small army eating, not just 5.The coffee then arrived at the table, however, with so many good boutique coffees out there, it was a little bit of a let down that they were using a large commercial brand, but I guess it will appeal to the masses. Be mindful though, some of the drinks cost extra, like the matcha or turmeric lattes.The buffet was quite simple with a range of cakes some with a hint of Japanese flavour including yuzu or matcha. All very nice and beautifully prepared. There was fruit and yogurt as well as an allotment of beautiful cheese and meat. In typical Asian buffet style, somethings that we always love like some soba noodles, with your choice of toppings. There was also the congee, a savoury rice pudding. With this pudding, were an array of savoury condiments to add flavour, be it fried challots, spring onion, soy sauce, ginger battons or pickled plum.The buffet was nice but paled in comparison to the a la carte menu. When the food we ordered started to arrive at the table there was much food envy. The match lamington, very Japanese was nicely presented with a yuzu curd and red bean inside. It was extremely beautiful and overall a lovely dish, despite the cake being a little dense.The Sokyo seafood bowl was not your typical Austalian breakfast. A bowl of rice topped with an assortment of fresh seafood and an onsen egg. It started out a little standard and improved ten fold once all mixed together and flavours combining them together.The taditional choushoku breakfast was impressive a set including miso soup, rice, fish of the day, edamame, nori, Japanese pickle and onsen tomago.The star of the day, at the Star on this occasion appeared to be the spicy salmon udon ordered by Spooning.As a whole, the breakfast at Sokyo was very enjoyable. The price is reasonable and the service is very good. Combining the a la carte and buffet options together is thoroughly recommended.
