Our family chose to go to Sogo on a Thursday night for their BOGO 1/2 off sushi special. We ordered a shrimp tempura roll and one of the specialty rolls that also had shrimp tempura in it. In order to get the BOGO sushi special, you had to order a soup or drink. Doesn't seem like a great deal to me since the cost of the drink or soup basically pays for the other half of the roll. I asked the server if we could order a kids hibachi chicken instead and she was able to do that. The sushi came out quickly and tasted great. Their hibachi was also good, not the best I have had but tasty. For the total price, I do not feel the need to go back any time soon. However the service, food, and location were all good.
We've been here multiple times, and each time we've had good service and delicious food. The place is pretty clean, there is a large dining room with lots of tables and booths! They just added some new menu items, including the crab rangoons! They're really good, but I believe it's over $5 for four rangoons, which is sort of pricey in my opinion. The sweet Thai chilli sauce that came with it was really good and spicy! Our waitress was nice and helpful, the hostess was welcoming and promptly sat us upon arrival with no problems. We ordered two sushi rolls, the San Fran and the Dynamite roll, both were amazing. Super fresh tasting and delicious. We also ordered edamame which was just okay, but that's a pretty bland food in general. We shared a hibachi chicken entree and salad with ginger dressing. Everything tasted good and our waitress paid attention to when we needed refills on drinks, extra sauce, etc. Overall, we've always enjoyed our visits here and look forward to coming back again.
Didn't know what to expect when looking at the reviews, but honestly I quite enjoyed it. They don't have too large a variety but that's not really a bad thing as what they do have is pretty good. I and another got sushi and it was good, the two others got hibachi plates and they enjoyed it as well. Prices are also decent. And last but not least, the service was amazing. Our server was very nice and quite funny. All in all an alright place to eat.
