Sodo Sushi Bar And Grill

I usually order the sashimi and the "gumbo", with a side of seaweed salad. The sushi quality is excellent, fresh and thick slices, they always have mackerel and it's one of my favorites. It's a bit pricey but good quality usually is. It's also nice that they have two large TVs above the sushi bar to watch sports and other programming.

Lunch spot for me during the week. Cozy interior, good lunch specials. (Smaller portions) Have gotten the Pho to go several times. Make sure you check your items if everything is there. Packaging varies with Pho. I also love the Vietnamese curry. So simple and so delicious. Their side salad is so good, please ask for more dressing on the side. Soup is on point. I have only gotten basic rolls there. They were delicious. Outdoor dining is available. Service has been good the few times I have been there. Parking is a challenge, they have a garage that is shared with a few medical buildings and the shopping plaza. A few street spots if you manage to snag a few.

Service was alright, given that the server was a bit slow to bring out the food. Clean appearance and lots of upbeat tunes playing in the background - ambiance felt light and modern. Started off by ordering the steamed chicken gyoza. Very good appetizer, with the chicken pieces being moist and tender. Went with the SoDo chicken curry for my main dish. Unfortunately, the chicken was over cooked, though the curry was flavored decently. Too much oil was added, for my taste. Spice level was a bit conservative for medium level. Given the higher fare for this food, was not too impressed with the overall quality and level of preparation. Perhaps it would have been more ideal to stick with the sushi. For next time.

Tasty food! Can not wait to go back and try more! I got a few of the starters instead of a full meal. I got edamame ($5), tempura sampler ($7), and firecracker shrimp ($6) All was freshly prepared and absolutely Delicious. The tempura was perfectly batterd and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the firecracker shrimp. The sweet Thai chili sauce was a great compliment to these light appetizer choice.
