Soto Sushi

Tried Soto today for my first time. It's located inside of the Grand Casino in Shawnee. Had a eye appt out there and my doc said his patient used to work there and said that they are always getting fresh sushi in. I got there around 1230 for lunch. And there was one lady picking up a to go order. No one else during the 30 min I was there. The staff was so sweet. The sushi chef never stopped smiling. They heard my order wrong (salmon roe vs salmon roll) and instantly got on it. Immediately suggested I keep the mistake one and the sushi chef and waitress giggled about it once they heard. It was sweet and I'm glad they found it funny and not frustrating! The fish seemed fresh. Their menu had about what you would expect for a sushi restaurant. Rolls were about 12-15$. Nigiri around 5-8$. And they do have more traditional Japanese sushi items like Donburi bowls etc. they also had poke bowls. I didn't order them but will never time I visit. However the rolls had way too much rice. I know this can be a common problem but typically it doesn't bother me too much. However, this time I do have to say this was so heavy on the rice that it took away from the fish. I'd go back though if in town!

The sushi wasn't as high in quality as past visits here. There was only one other table in addition to the table my girlfriend and I were sitting at. My girlfriend got her sushi roll promptly. I on the other hand had to wait 30 minutes. I overheard management talking about comping the roll for me which would have been nice but not expected. I ended up just paying full price. All in all I'm just disappointed in the overall experience compared to past ones.

Not quite up to par tonight. They were quite busy, though. We think the head chef, Soto, was perhaps not here tonight?

You won't find better sushi in the state. Say what you will about the places in OKC and Tulsa, Soto has the freshest fish you will find. Great standards and inventive stuff from the chefs! Louis and Cameron are great! Friendly wait staff! New hot items, like the miso soup are great and a welcome addition. Located inside the Grand Casino- this place is worth the drive!

Atmosphere is a big part of the sushi experience and Soto delivers. It is peaceful, quiet and a nice environment for dining. I've eaten both lunch and dinner at least 20 times and it has been excellent every time. I often get spicy tuna and they have always been nice to add a small sliver of lemon and jalapeño to my roll, just like I love it. The fried rice is full of flavor with a great ginger nuance. The cucumber appetizer is good with tsushi or hot entrees. I eat here with friends and family and I've never heard of a bad experience or meal. If you don't eat sushi, their other options are tasty as well. Like any good sushi restaurant, portions are not huge but dishes never disappoint. Ask for a chilled glass with your Sapparo, Japanese beer and go ahead and order the large!

Soto has long been a favorite for us when visiting the Grand Casino. We were there for lunch on this visit, and made use of a coupon that the Players Club made available. I wish I had gotten her first name, but B Gonzales brought our Edamame, Tuna Volcano, and My35 Roll in record time. The food is amazing here! One small complaint---we wanted a couple of cocktails, had to wait on a casino waitress to bring them, and eventually, my husband went down to get them from a casino bar himself. I know it was lunch, but they need to figure that out for the comfort of those that will definitely be back!

My wife and I love this place. If you like sushi and if you are in the area check this place out. The sushi is fresh and delicious. Nice and clean and great view. Everything to make a great night! We'll be coming back back soon!

The sushi rolls were great but the portion size was disappointing. My husband and I shared 3 specialty sushi rolls between us at $12 each and miso soups and we were still hungry. (We bought 20-piece chicken nuggets on our way home lol) Their sushi rolls are pretty unique though and their fish tastes fresh. I would recommend the Smokie roll if you like eel.The restaurant seating is pretty limited though so I suggest making a reservation just to be safe.

I dropped into Soto for lunch while staying at the Grand. I was alone so I sat at the sushi bar. The sushi chefs are so well trained. One of the guys and I struck up conversation and he informed me since the casino has the funding they actually brought sushi masters in to train the chefs, and they rolled sushi 8 hours a day until they had their technique down, it totally shows. I was so impressed for the quality of food, & skill at the bar. My rolls were phenomenal and the chefs gave me a couple of their house sauces to try. The server was ok at best (15 minutes for my sake and a solid 10 after that for her to come back so I could ask for a water) but the chefs made the meal for sure. The hosts acted put off that I was alone and wanted to sit at the bar instead of taking up a full table. I will definitely be going back... and sitting at the bar

We loved Soto. We tried many different dishes and loved them all. Our server, Sadie, was awesome. The head chef even came out to chat with us. These guys have it figured out! We had zero expectations for the restaurants in the casino, since it was just an overnight hotel for us on a road trip, but they knocked our socks off!
