Soko
WINNER

Helmed by veteran Sushi Chef Masa Shimakawa, Soko is a tribute to the humble origins of sushi with SoCal sensibilities in an intimate eight-seat setting within a stunning luxury beachside locale, offering a one-of-a-kind personal and convivial atmosphere. As a tribute to the origins of sushi, the name ‘Soko’ means ‘storeroom’ which is a literal interpretation, given that Soko was built out of a simple storeroom tucked away in the hotel’s main-floor lobby.
Serving up some of the city’s freshest and most authentic traditional Japanese sushi service, the menu is simple yet refined, featuring a selection of Nigiri—think fresh selections like Tuna, Red Snapper, King Red Crab, Yellowtail, Halibut, Horse Mackerel, Tamago, Uni, Salmon Roe, O-toro, and Chu-toro; as well as rolls and classic appetizers, alongside a variety of sake and beer, of course.
