Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
OROSOKO Sound Bar offers a "sexily dim and classy" atmosphere with a live DJ, perfect for date nights. Highlights include "INCREDIBLE" pork buns, "amazing" cocktails, and standout dishes like the hamachi and truffle edamame. Service is "top-notch" and the vibe cozy yet sophisticated. Some find it pricey, but the experience is memorable.

    Wonderful soft lit space. It’s 3rd or 4th or married date night territory where you feel comfortable getting up from the chair across from your companion and same side sitting on the bench (if it’s not too full) to lean into each others ear as the DJ transitions from one song to the next. A little too loud for a first date for all the conversation required. Thursday night was a shuffle of 70s and mid 80s grooves, energy but not so much you felt compelled to bounce in your seat. $10 for a single mushroom taco is unfortunate. It was tasty, the spicing of the batter paired well with the dill crema. The okonomiyaki is great shareable value. Great service, attentive & knowledgeable, but not hovering. All our questions about dairy free items were answered, and our mocktails were great. After we had our food, we could bliss out and enjoy the DJ. A little hard wave and we got our check. An excellent night, would come back again on a weekday for downtempo electronica.

    Food was ok. For the price I would imagine better flavor. The hostess very rude because if a miscommunication between her and the manager for our reservation. The 2 hour limit table is ridiculous. What is this? It’s a decent place but not worth the price for a 2 hr pressure since you sit down.

    The food was really good and tasty! Everything we ordered was great except for the dumplings they tasted a bit odd. Service was really slow as well, I think the server was overwhelmed with too many tables. Overall, the ambiance was a good vibe and the DJ played good beats. Will return another day in hopes that service is quicker :)

    I would go back for the service and certainly for the drinks but the food was meh. Nothing was all that good. I mean I didn’t try the entire menu of course but of five dishes I’d expect two to be knockout. And for the price it’s not worth it.

    Absolutely LOVED this place. Our cocktails were amazing… I had the “pornstar martini” and the “unholy water” 🤌. The Al Pastor Tacos were by far the best tacos I’ve ever had in my life. Our waitress Dani was so fun and had a great vibe. Highly recommend the truffle edamame as well.. def had a bit of a spicy kick to it but still so so good. Overall, this place had the best ambience and such a cozy/moody yet sophisticated and sexy vibe to it. They played great music at the DJ booth (I shazamed like 4 songs) Perfect night for a fun date spot! 11/10 !!! Pro tip — if they seat you against the window make sure to sit down first and snag that booth!!!! It was like sitting on a cloud.
