Completely disappointed. The food was bland and exhibited no culinary skill whatsoever. With a set menu at $200pp, serving dry overcooked barramundi caked in excessive tempura batter, mediocre flavourless king prawns decorated with mere pickles from a jar, unseasoned and chewy flank steak, and a sushi platter that tasted no different from something ordered from a chain sushi takeaway, not even the dry ice for cheap theatrical effect could offer any redeeming qualities for this sordid meal. To add to this experience, we were a large party, and these dishes were all on share plates that we had to awkwardly grab from the middle of the table. It’s a good thing I liked the people I was sitting with. For two or three people this is acceptable, but for tables of 6-8? Now I also ran the risk of dropping overpriced food on the table, or we had to pass the dishes around like we were at a home dinner party. God forbid we dropped anything, as every bite counted because of how incredibly little we were served. The staff were continually telling us to sit down as we were mingling across our tables so they could serve; this made us feel like primary school cattle. They were share plates, there was no necessity for us to be in our seats. We will eat when we eat. We booked the function room for a reason. For what we planned as a celebratory evening, while the venue was decent, the experience offered by Sokyo was underwhelming and disappointing. Please do yourself a favour and go to any of the hundreds of other excellent Japanese restaurants Sydney has to offer.

We had dinner at Sokyo Brisbane last night and we were beyond impressed, not only by our waitress Mia who was so knowledgeable about the menu, but the food was also exceptional. We went with many of Mias recommendations and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere and ambience was just beautiful and we will be talking about it for a long time to come. Thank you again and we will definitely be back.

Remarkable!!! The most incredible Japanese food we’ve eaten. Service was incredible - very attentive, polite, professional. Decor and ambience were lovely. Highly recommend, because we certainly will be back!

Overpriced food with inattentive service. Really wanted to like this place but sadly disappointed. Sushi was made with minced raw salmon and rolled messily and unevenly - some slices have double the amount of rice on it than others, some rolls unravelling on the platter. Service was inattentive and haphazard. Plates were not cleared away, leading to awkward situations where we had to stack and move plates away ourselves. Certainly not the kind of service that begets a $140pp degustation experience. Charged $6 per person for still water which wasn't advertised. In Australia, it is certainly customary for still water to be free and even if not, pricing should be open. Bit of an unpleasant surprise finding an extra charge at the end of the night which ultimately rounded off a subpar meal. I left hungry There are many other Japanese restaurants well worth your money to dine at in Sydney for sure.

It’s been awhile since my last time here. A little disappointing on knowing the rules had changed for casino guest membership discounts. We had 5 people and upon asking for the bill presenting our platinum membership card we were told there is no discounts. Because we had 5 people on the table. The max pax for each table to get the discount is 4 people. Which we were like you should at least tell us when we came into the restaurant. I must say the service wasn’t friendly at all. It seems to me that the people who was working at the restaurant was quite miserable which you can see on their faces and body gesture. If I had to pay full price I’d rather take my money and spend it at a better restaurant.
