Our usual family spot where everyone in the family loves every dish we order. Sushi is always fresh and delicious. Can’t complain about anything. Service always excellent, genuinely smiling. We go almost every week and every waiter that recognize us stop by just to say hi.

Washington Avenue Coalition / Memorial Park

About the restaurant

Chefs Patrick Pham and Daniel Lee have over 25 years of combined experience in Japanese cuisine and sushi. They established their culinary careers in Houston where they worked together for years before creating their own restaurants.

Pham and Lee teamed up to bring new curated dining concepts to Houston’s food scene and kicked off a series of omakase pop-up dinners called Secret Taste. Pham and Lee then opened Kokoro in the Bravery Chef Hall in Downtown Houston followed by Handies Douzo in the Houston Heights.

Aiko is the newest concept from the team featuring a sushi bar and seated dining.

Amazing restaurant. Soto is a world class sushi restaurant and of you want a real Japanese Sushi experience this is the place. The preparations and great care the chefs put into each dish is artistic. The quality of the fish and presentation is second to none. Soto has become my favorite sushi bar in Houston. We sat at the sushi bar and it was fun to watch the sushi chefs do their thing. We will be back soon.
