Sogo Japanese Restaurant

This is some of the best sushi around Slidell. Sogo is one of the places that I will direct out-of-town visitors to. We have been a number of times. The service has always been good. Sometimes it gets busy - lots of families with kids sometimes (which says something) - but the service and atmosphere have never been lacking. They have hibachi seating if you want to sit at the grill and watch the cook twirl his knives. Lots of fun.The food has always been fresh and high-quality. I love that they have hamachi kama on the menu. Historically this has been difficult to find outside of real "authentic" sushi places, so that speaks to the overall quality of the restaurant. They have a long list of sushi rolls, but this is not a "fusion" type sushi place. Most of the menu is very traditional stuff. Love it. Highly recommended. Check it out. You won't regret it.

A classic Slidell spot -- I went with my parents for my birthday, and it was really fun. Servers were friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was lively with many families eating throughout the restaurant, including groups at the hibachi tables.Food was yummy. Hamachi kama was sooo good. Tempura fried vegetables were also a great appetizer. For entrees, my parents both ordered salmon which looked great, and I ordered two sushi rolls -- crawfish and eel/avocado -- which I loved.Only complaint is that the women's bathroom was quite old and rundown.Thank you!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! my FAVORITE in all of Slidell. Food is perfection, staff is friendly and attentive, the atmosphere is welcoming and cozy. I've been coming here since I moved to slidell six years ago and this has always my #1 favorite spot!!! Forget the other places, even the Mexican spots, their food is soooo good , I use this place when I'm feeling good or rewarding myself. I'm writing this review because they WOW'd me tonight, I was in so quick, while my waiter is consistently checking on me and providing refills, friendly banter. I always get the Japanese fried rice with extra shrimp and DRENCH it in their yum yum sauce. Every item on their menu is impeccable and can't be beat. Anyone you see in here is a regular! If you're looking for a yummy date night, this is your place! Thanks team!!!! See you next time

Food overall was good and the service was great. I'm not a fan of their rice (way too much garlic) and that is a big part of the hibachi experience to me. Steak and chicken was good. Chef was extremely interactive and great with kids. They loved it.

We went tonight for the first time . I was impressed. We seated at the hibachi table. The soup and salad were delicious. The rice was perfectly seasoned, the noodles were soft and flavorful, the steak and vegetables were great and juicy . We are definitely coming back to this place . Great job guys .

I love the hibachi grill here. So good! Service is great. The decor could use some updating, but it is still nice. Highly recommend.

We went to Sogo last night to celebrate my grandsons 6th birthday and we had a blast. We decided to have Hibachi. Our waiter was so good and the chef was fantastic. He interacted with us all so much and even let the birthday boy get behind the grill. He loved it. We all had something different. I had the steak and scallops and it was so good. The rice and noodles were the best and seasoned to perfection. Two people in our group had sushi and they were very happy. I can't recommend Sogo enough. Can't wait to go back!!!

Recently been back to this place and the food is as amazing as it was before. Love trying some things I didn't have a chance to before.The filet mignon roll is amazing. At first I was skeptical, but it melds very well. The meat is lightly seared making it soft and tender. The shrimp tempura gives it the delicious crispy texture to tie it together. Each bite is like a mini surf and turf, delicious.The green mussels are rich and creamy with a hint of sweetness. It's amazingly addicting.The eel and Philly roll are your typical rolls. They are well made with fresh ingredients.The lo mein is nicely done. Not overly oily or salty. Good amount of meats with each bite. Really good and I usually avoid getting lo mein at places because they make it too salty.Everything is reasonably priced and delicious. It's doing as well as I remember it. Certainly recommend trying out the filet mignon roll and green mussel! It's a must have if you go there. Certainly can't wait to try some of their other foods next time.

Bathroom was disgustingly, dirty, and worn! Absolutely no excuse for a restaurant to have a bathroom like that. I almost knocked it down two stars because of the bathroom.If the bathroom was clean and not run down, I would have given five stars.1/2+ 1/2 (seaweed + squid) salad- good, a bit too sweetSushi+Sashimi dinner- very good, fresh, ample serving. Beautiful presentation. Way too much carrot nest garnish.Iceberg lettuce salad- i personally don't think that a handful of iceberg lettuce qualifies as a "salad" . lettuce was swimming in dressing, not goodMiso soup- goodHot green tea- nice sized pot of teaService was good and server was attentive and friendly. Food arrived at a good pace.Staff bussed dirty tables promptly.By the way customers were being greeted i could tell there were lots of regulars. They were also busy with takeout orders.

It's always HOT in there it just ruins the hibachi experience I went in there today and sat at the table away from the grill and ordered hibachi so wouldn't be so HOT.But it just as badI like the food there, but I beg of you please turn the air conditions on. It's Louisiana. I go inside to get away from the heat.
