SO Restaurant - Menu

Fine restaurant, busy at lunchtime, which bodes well. Menu wasn’t too varied but got a decent meal. Service was speedy. Would return!

I always order chef's special sushi for lunch. The quality of fish is excellent and price is reasonable for the good quality. Highly recommended.

So is an OK Japanese restaurant. There are quite a few Japanese restaurants in this part of London: some excellent some very good some OK some passable So is OK, nothing to write home about

Had a wonderful meal in this restaurant. Seated downstairs. Service was quick and efficient. Staff answered any questions we had and promptly took our order. Food was served without delay and was delicious. We had the chicken dish with rice, sashimi and sushi. The soft shell crab was fabulous. Very reasonably priced. Toilets spotless with soap and hand lotion. Will go back.

We came here on the day of London Pride, they were able to sit us down on the bar without a reservation. The staff were very helpful and great with sitting us down. They gave us menus for food and drink. They took our order and the food came out with plenty of time. The quality was amazing. It had lots of flavour and was very tasteful. For my first experience here it was great and they were able to cater for us.

We stumbled on this restaurant by chance, when we were shooed away from other nearby restaurants because they were full. The staff were very efficient and we had an excellent sushi sashimi combo for the entire family, plus two dishes of tempura giant prawns. It was all very delicious and we left very satisfied. My only criticism is that the sashimi does not come served with boiled rice as an accompaniment the latter is extra. But this is a good place, which I will return to.

One of the oldest japanese restaurants in London, and the main clients here were Japanese. Apparently the restaurant has a good reputation within the Japanese society here. The service was excellent, quick and very friendly. The food was japanese cuisine with a western twitch. We tried lots of different dishes... some were good, but there were also some misses. About the freshness of the food, no complaints, but that also came at a for london correct price... so not cheap. Wine that was recommended was a real miss... and could not be served with the food... too sweet, no acidity. So better stick with the Japanese beers and sake. Overall not bad, correct for its price but certainly not except...

A short walk away from piccadily circus makes this restaurant easy to get to provided you know where you are going when meandering the back streets around London Soho area. Place was smart and decor looks reasonable, I didn't have any issues with being seated at the counter as it was just me and my wife. Large groups may wish to book in advance to avoid disappointment. We went for the lunch time set menu which was still diverse enough to have something to suit different preferences. Food came pretty swiftly and very well presented. Taste was great and the tempura was exceptional as you sometimes get the scent of overly used oil when it's not been changed often. Here it was all done very well...

My friend and I saw 2 mice chasing one another and playing around on the underground floor right by our feet and running towards the kitchen afterwards. More shockingly, the waitresses didn 't seem surprised at all and there were no actions taken with these mice. Not to mention that we had to ask for speaking with their manager to get a 'sincere ' apology from them. And ofc the manager wasn 't there. Truly awful experience. Not the kind of hygiene level or service attitude you 'd expect from a Japanese restaurant. Might as well go to a street food stand to get safer food and better service. Ik mice r probably inevitable in most restaurants, but mice don 't actually appear right under ur eyes...
