Sokyo

We had the tasting menu - each dish well presented and good balance of flavours and textures, especially the ocean trout with asparagus and little highlights of crispy elements. One minor criticism was the trout had not been pin boned fully and three small bones encountered.

Sokyo

Good afternoon Laurie, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our tasting menu and that the dishes were both balanced and well presented. We apologise that ocean trout had not been completely de-boned. We will pass on this feedback to our kitchen team and ensure it does not happen again. We hope to welcome you again to Sokyo soon. Have a lovely weekend. Kind regards, Sokyo Management

Very disappointed with how we were not informed at booking nor upon arriving at the restaurant of the temporary menu change due to Covid-19 limited opening. We booked a month in advance and found out only after we were seated and served water that they only had a set menu for $120pp that served some things that aren't on their usual menu. Most of the usual favourites were no longer being served. The wait staff were unprofessional, rude and had a poor attitude when we asked when or if they would bring back their normal menu. They had quite alot of staff on for the reduced amount of customers due to social distancing but we still had to wait long periods of time to order and get the bill. Very poor experience and while it is understanble they have temporarily changed their menu given the Covid situation customers should be informed at the time of booking.

Hi Michelle, Thank you for your feedback. And we are sorry that we didn’t meet up to your expectations. Our reduced menu was selected by our chefs and our team based on our guest’s favorites, However we are open for suggestions and always looking for improvement. Due to the current situation of COVID-19, we are uncertain on when we will be commencing our full menu range; please keep an eye on our Star Sokyo website for Sokyo updates and news. We appreciate your support and hope to see you again with your favorite dishes. Kind Regards, Sokyo Management

We have been to Sokyo many times in the past and enjoyed our dinner there. With the COVID-19, we are forced to have degustation, most disappointing was the wagyu beef, it was so tough, chewy, that you are mainly exercising your jaw. It wasn't just one serving was like that, all 3 servings were the same, one swallowed the wagyu and I swallowed 2 pieces. At $120 per person, we would have thought the wagyu would be of better quality hence our disappointment. The manager and waitress said they will let the chef know but didn't give us a discount or any thing complementary to the meal.

Went there after the ease of restriction post covid lockdown wjere they intl serve degustation menu. Both my partner an I did not feel like a valued customer. We did not even have time to even look through the menu and was told 'we only have degustation menu today, the menu is the same anyway, would u like us to get started' Waiter did not even ask if we would like to order any drink! And he was in a rush to serve our first course straight away as if he was in a hurry for us to finish our meal and leave. Food was disappointing given the price. Sashimi and dessert were OK, but the rest of the course are a hit and miss

Sokyo

Good Afternoon Kelly, Thank you for taking time to give us a review and we are sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience. During the period of your dining, due to limited resources and produce we were only able to cater for a set menu. However as of current, our menu has been renewed with wider range of options. We hope to see you again in the future for a better dining experience. Kind Regards, Sokyo Management

We booked a 10am seating for breakfast but the buffet started to close at 10.30am. They really should tell people in advance when booking as this made the dining experience awful. Couldn’t enjoy the meal and take my time. Especially when you have kids and need to settle them first.

Sokyo

Breakfast was such a pleasant surprise. Definitely value for money and service was amazinggggg! We came at the latest time for breakfast (10am) and felt a little rushed towards the end as they were packing up and prepping for dinner service. Pastries and fruit stopped being refilled, so we missed out on a little, but that’s just because we’re slow eaters haha. Would recommend going at an earlier time. Overall, great experience, will definitely be back!

Sokyo

Food was of exceptional quality. A little disappointed that there’s only continental + compulsory ala carte option now. Would have been nice if they bring back the continental only option. That said, I’ll go again and would recommend them, perhaps skip dinner the night before.

Sokyo

Bit expensive but food was ok. Dessert was next level good. Staff took 20 minutes to settle my bill, not sure where they were or what they were doing but the restaurant wasn't even full

Food was nice but limited menu and it was a lot of money for very small portions. I have factored in that this is one of the best restaurants in Sydney. Service was awful. We constantly had our menus removed from us when we weren’t done with our ordering. Water was not topped up at all and when dishes were done, plates were not cleared when new dishes were served. Manager of the place wasn’t warm in welcoming guests or bidding goodbye. The food could not make up for the poor service.

Sokyo
