    Delicious food and great service! Definitely pricey but feels worth the splurge, given the high quality dishes. Soto was kind enough to give us dessert on the house after we went a little crazy and got 8 dishes to try between two people. Fantastic experience!

    The staff at Soto did a terrific job helping us celebrate my daughter's graduation. They were great at satisfying our hungry 18 year old, sushi-lover 11 year old, and picky 7 year old and our gluten allergy. They were so helpful, accommodating, and we had a wonderful experience!

    I went with a group of girlfriends. We had a lovely time and the food was perfection as always. They accommodated my food allergy to mayo and made sure my guests were happy.

    Disappointed. I’ve been before and excellent. Sushi was oily, too soft, texture off, color bland. Service was rushed.
