Sogo Sushi - Red Bank

PHENOMENAL SUSHI! Look no further for the BEST Japanese food in Monmouth county, possibly the state. No wonder this establishment has lasted in Red Bank for so long. The sushi ingredients were very fresh and rolled with love. The brown rice really makes a difference with a fluffier texture and amazing flavor. I ordered the shrimp tempura roll spider roll, both of which were cooked perfectly and had the best flavor of any tempura rolls I've ever had. The spider roll is made with ACTUAL crab, NOT that garbage imitation crab meat. I also ordered the iris roll, which I HIGHLY recommend. The purple Japanese yam makes for a uniquely sweet flavor that when mixed with the other vegetables, creates a complex flavor leaving me wanting more. In addition to the sushi, I ordered their miso soup. Although the cup wasn't completely filled, the flavor more than made up for it. It wasn't too salty tasting, either, like many other places often have. This miso soup was fantastic tasting and had a good ratio of tofu seaweed. I loved that the soup was very hot and fresh, as I ordered take out and didn't consume right away (still was piping hot after 20 something mins. Lastly, I ordered the hibachi noodles. They were cooked excellent, with that soft but firm texture. They used some sort of sauce (lightly, not drenched) with the noodles that paired very well. I believe it could be their teriyaki sauce but it's unlike any other teriyaki sauce I have tried as it's rich, complex, with just a touch of sweet flavor. Absolutely delicious!! All in all, I had a very, VERY pleasant positive experience at Sogo Sushi. Without a doubt, I will be a life time customer. Their attention to detail, talented cooks itamae, solid customer service, and OUTSTANDINGLY DELICIOUS food blew me away. This is truly authentic Japanese food at it's best. You will not regret giving this eatery a try!

The maki rolls taste good even though its all brown rice. Rolls are a lil small but most places are like that.

The best place for brown rice sushi! The quality, service, and flavor are outstanding! Everything is always fresh. I really appreciate their attention to detail. The owners and staff are very friendly and welcoming. I always look forward to dining here.

Sogo is my go-to sushi spot; none of the others can hold a candle to it. We usually opt for take-out, but we occasionally dine in since it’s BYOB. Regardless of how we enjoy it, the food is exceptional—fresh and beautifully presented. Be sure to try the Blossom roll and the Black Pearl roll; they're large and absolutely delicious. It’s a family-run establishment, and they are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Give it a try; you’ll love it!

The restaurant is exceptionally clean, and the staff is very friendly. The sushi rolls were amazing, and the hibachi noodles were delicious! I highly recommend it!
