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.

We recently sat at the sushi counter at Sokyo for their sushi experience, and honestly, it fell short of expectations, especially for the price. The food was quite average, lacking the wow factor you’d expect from such a reputable place, and the service left a lot to be desired. The only highlight of the evening was the sommelier, who was knowledgeable and attentive. Overall, it was a pretty disappointing visit for a place that used to be so good.

I've been there a few times now and food has always been good. Special mention to our waiter Torie for our table of 7 adults and 2 small children. He was so patient and always had a smile on his face when helping us with orders and requests. Thanks mate.

The ambiance was pleasant. However, the duck dish was a bit dry and lacked the characteristic duck flavor. The accompanying sauce and capsicum strips were sparse, so I had to request extra sauce. About the dessert, the waiting time for it was longer than expected. In fact, I was considering canceling my dessert order due to the delay, but the waitress kindly expedited it for me. Overall, while the atmosphere was nice, there's room for improvement in food quality and service speed.
