My experience was for take out only but I already cannot wait to return. I didn't realize how hungry I was after a long night at a work event nearby and a quick Yelp search brought me to sushi heaven. It might be good to note (because a few reviews don't seem to love it) but Sogo Sushi is all brown rice. That just so happens to be my preference! Whenever I remember to, I will happily pay the extra $1 for a brown rice roll, and I am not sure why, but Sogo Sushi is 100% brown rice rolls. I stopped in around 8PM once night, ordered a salmon avocado roll & a spicy tuna and about 5 minutes later, I'm walking out with my dinner. The folk that took my order were kind and super quick, letting me know I didn't need to go and come back as it's already almost ready. When I tell you this was great sushi, I mean it! If I lived closer, I'd be a regular. read more

Sogo Sushi - Spicy tuna & Salmon Avocado Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

Friendly welcoming staff at Sogo Sushi. Had the "Spicy Spicy" (Spicy Tuna and avocado topped with crab) Fresh- delicious. Affordable. The interior isn't fancy- but it's clean. Could use a little decor- maybe some nice prints on the walls... Anyway- it's great location near the Count Basie theater! Would definitely stop by again. read more

Food and service were excellent. It's a small awkward space but plenty of seating. Easy parking and in the midst of evening activities and entertainment read more

3.5/5 stars For my food, I got a rock shrimp tempura fusion roll and a yellowtail scallion roll. Flavor combinations were overall homogenous and pretty good, but the yellowtail roll in particular was on the smaller side. I'd recommend getting 3 rolls to truly feel full. The hibachi/stir-fry entries however, looked bigger and very balanced. (Sorry I forgot to take a pic of my meal) Regarding service, the kitchen seemed very busy with takeout orders and Saturday night rush and kudos to the servers for still being very attentive and friendly despite that! Ambiance overall gave a family-friendly, cozy, and intimate vibe. If you want to support your local businesses in Red Bank (it's also near count Basie theater) and are craving sushi, come visit Sogo Sushi! read more

I have been ordering from Sogo for many yrs., on May 15, 2026 I placed an order for delivery and was told it would take 45 min. to deliver, it was delivered much earlier, the delivery guy was very rude, to me and to my son, he should not be working for Sogo at all or be working with the Public, this makes Sogo look pretty bad read more

These people care. The restaurant is beautiful & impeccably clean. The staff is warm & attentive. The food is exceptional in all respects. The miso soup beats that in Japan- really. Arigato gozaimasu, Sogo Sushi. read more

I've yet to actually dine here as the dining area seems just utilitarian. Nothing special But the food! Truly delicious we do take out here at least weekly I love the fact that they use brown rice as opposed to white rice. The sushi here is alway so fresh tasting and prepared with pride Fairly priced and the staff are just lovely. They gave so many special rolls.. especially the yellow tail jalapeño roll Give them a try. read more

Eddie makes the best sushi!!' Fresh delicious!!! Great prices and staff is amazing!!! Highly recommended

Incredible sushi and the staff are always nice and friendly. Always a great experience!

The quality of fish and the flavor of their cooked foor is incredible! Although we were surprised when everything came out with brown rice, which was a bit of a dissappointnent and affected our experience. We would have loved to give it a 4 or a 5 had we been prepared for the brown rice, or had the option to pick white rice. Overall they have a wide variety of original special rolls, and we loved their noodle appetizer! read more

Sogo Sushi - Sushi for 2, swapped rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

This is my first time at this restaurant. I gave it a shot based on the reviews you need to be mindful that they only use brown rice and it's definitely a distinct taste different from regular sushi rice I wish I would've known that prior to. I probably would've selected a different restaurant, but I'm not gonna knock it. The fish was fresh. The people are very friendly. I just did not care for the brown rice not their fault just their style. read more

Best sushi in the area! Always great service and a good time, can't go wrong with any rolls. read more

We were seated with no menus, so ordered using the website menu. Food arrived NINETY MINUTES later, and seaweed paper around the sushi was barely covered with rice. One sushi plate was served without ginger and wasabi. The bill listed a dish we hadn't ordered. I mean, it was tasty but all the other downsides ruined what we hoped to be a happy outing. read more

We travel a lot and without a doubt the sushi here, IMO, is the best anywhere. I say this because unlike other places, the rice is kept to a minimum and there is more of the ingredients inside the roll. The owners are wonderful as well. Try it! read more

While visiting my daughter in Port Monmouth a couple of months ago, we went out for sushi. We found this place and we were so pleasantly surprised. The food is phenomenal! The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is calming, comfortable and casual. This trip to NJ, we ordered a nice variety of takeout to share at home, and all of it was fantastic!! Now, when I make the trip to NJ, it is a new tradition... SoGo Sushi. read more

I enjoy take outs from Sogo Sushi. The orders are always Fresh and delicious. Ruby is my favorite sushi roll. I highly recommend this place never disappoints. read more

We've been going to Sogo for years. It started as a date night spot and now we go with the whole family. There is something for everyone. The restaurant is a bit different, you walk in to the sushi counter, where the staff are preparing the food. It isn't the fanciest sushi counter, it's feels like you are walking into a kitchen, but the hostess will bring you to the other room, and it's a long room with dark tables and sleek booth. My personal favorite is the summer roll, which has shrimp tempora, avocado over the top and it is drizzled with a brown sauce, which has a nice kick to it. We always start with the gyoza, which have a great crunch to the bottom and a thin dumpling dough. The hybiscuos tea has a lovely flavor and is perfect on a warm day. My kids love the udon noodles with vegetables, and of course using "cheater chopsticks". COVID Review: we've ordered a few times since the region went into lockdown. You call in your order and they give you a pick up time. When you arrive, you park in the little parking lot behind the restaurant and call to tell them you are there. When your order is ready, you can collect it from a table located in the parking lot. This is a great -- NO CONTACT -- way to support a local place and get a yummy meal. read more

So I'm giving Sogo Sushi four stars even though I'll never come back here. Fact of the matter is that it just wasn't my cup of tea. All of the sushi is made using brown rice. Understand that I like brown rice - but apparently not in my sushi. It changes the entire texture of the sushi - whereas white rice more or less melts into the fish , brown rice is grainy and leaves you with something to chew. It is a completely different experience and one I can do without. I'll acknowledge that the quality of the fish here was really good. But mixed with brown rice it just wasn't worth it. I guess if you really like brown rice - or have some reason that you can't eat white rice - this place would be great for you. But for me, I'll never be back. I'm giving 4 stars because I don't think it would be fair to rate a place based upon my dislike of a particular food type. The place was good and it served its product well. It just wasn't for me! read more

Our go-to place for sushi. The service is outstanding. The fish is fresh. The poke bowls are wonderful because they are not over dressed (like other places in the area). The regular rolls are wonderful because you can eat them in one bite. read more

Exceptional in every way. Fresh fish, abundant possibilities - every single thing we ordered was excellent and beautifully prepared - seafood tacos, salmon pizza apps - yummy roll, summer roll, shiitaki roll, phoenix roll, lava roll- can't remember them all as we sampled about 7-8 different rolls - all melt in your mouth delicious. Personally, love the brown rice which I typically pay a surcharge for. And all very reasonably priced. Oh and the service - efficient and a place where they remember why keeping customers happy is a priority. We had a show at Basie - and they managed to turn around an additional 3 rolls ( we devoured the initial order) in a few mins time. Service with a smile. What more can you ask for? read more

If I could rate over five stars, this place would get a ten! The staff is so welcoming and friendly, the food is amazing. On top of the sushi being so fresh, it's not expensive AT ALL, especially when compared to other sushi joints in the area. Amazing little spot, be sure to check it out :) (We didn't even notice the sushi was made with brown rice, it really is delicious!) read more

Excellent, fresh sushi. WOW. would definitely recommend! Fantastic Roll and Ruby Roll. SO HAPPY WITH OUR CHOICE. read more

Sogo Sushi - two trays of sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

In the old days, I always thought that the best Sushi around here was at Yumi in Sea Bright. But that was before I got a friendly tip from a friend (whose advice has never missed) to give Sogo a try. I did, and I haven't been back to Yumi since. The food is uniformly excellent and inventive. The service is first rate and the ambiance is quiet and contemplative. It's almost Zen like, it's so tranquil. Sogo uses brown rice for their rolls and gluten free soy sauce is available if you ask. The menu is really extensive with many options if fish isn't your thing. So give it a try. You won't be disappointed read more

This is the best Sushi I've ever had in NJ. Every roll is absolutely outstanding. The staff is incredibly friendly. Can't recommend this place highly enough! read more

Fantastic and fresh with beautiful presentation. They make brown rice rolls and serve clever vegetarian and vegan options. All that for reasonable prices and lovely owners. read more

We ordered food for five for delivery. We only got four of the five orders so one person went hungry. They argued with us after we called them and asked them to deliver the other meal. We'll never patronize Sono. again. Sayonara Sono read more

Service is great! Always greeted upon arrival and very quick service. The price is good considering the quality of the products. Also ordered takeout but would prefer to be in house considering the nice atmosphere. They offer healthier options like sushi rolls without rice and poke bowls with cauliflower rice. It is a great underrated place. read more

Have to get the Ruby roll. If you like a little spice it's the best Also tried the red bank and yellowtail rolls. Both very good Kicker is the owner. Such a nice man and you can tell he truly cares about what he does. Thank you! read more

Solid selection of sushi which was great! Their rolls were really well done also. Nice i I'm intimate but casual spot. Yellowfin, red snapper, salmon were all great. The we also had the yuzu roll. read more

We've recently moved to Red bank and have been trying to find our "regulars" each in category. My boyfriend and I LOVE sushi and I'm super particular about raw fish. Sogo was AMAZING, and far exceeded my expectations. I was hesitant about brown rice sushi because it tends to have an odd texture and taste -- but not this kind. You can barely notice a different. Their lunch special is an amazing deal and they don't skimp on the fish or avocado. We were so happy we liked Sogo because compared to the other sushi restaurant around here -- they're extremely well price and reasonable. 6 rolls and two soups - 27 dollars after tax! We got far less sushi from Yumi and paid over 55 dollars give it a try! read more

Sogo Sushi - 2 three roll lunch specials (hot crab crunch, tuna avocado, Alaskan Roll, salmon jalapeño, spicy salmon crunch) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Red Bank, New Jersey

The Bad - Sogo special salad-- nothing special about this salad at all (basically just greens with avocado) - Ginger sauce-- could've been better (a tad too salty and not enough of ginger taste) The Good - Free green tea at corner for take out people - Dining area looks clean and spacious - Sushi is awesome! Although I'm a health freak, I'm sometimes hesitant to get brown rice for sushi for fear that the brown rice texture will make the sushi hard but this is not the case here. You can't even tell that it's brown rice. - Some rolls to mention that are noteworthy-- (1) Sogo special roll; (2) Spicy & Spicy; and (3) Black Pearl. The Bottomline: I'm definitely coming back here to try their other rolls. Prices are fairly decent given that they are using fresh ingredients and brown rice. They even have posters to educate you on the benefits of brown rice versus white! read more

Staff is always friendly and food is always delicious. Brown rice sushi is a plus. It's been a better value than the other local Japanese restaurants for the 20 years I have lived in the area. read more

Didn't have super high expectations for this place going in, it was kinda quiet and basic looking but it ended up impressing me. We started with the vegetable gyoza which was standard but tasty (to be fair I don't think I e ever had a bad veggie gyoza). The two rolls we ordered were lobster and their special sumo roll which had shrimp tempura and spicy tuna in soy paper instead of a seaweed wrap. Both rolls tasted super fresh and had great flavor and texture to them! read more

Best sushi around. We travel to Redbank, about 30 minutes, to shop and just walk around and we always go to Sogo Sushi!!! They were open during the pandemic and we tried to go as much as possible. Always great food!! read more

Service was sooooo terrible and slow. I asked if they had uni that evening-- t took her fifteen minutes to come back with an answer. Repeatedly had to flag the server down any time I wanted to order something or needed something. Waited thirty minutes for my check to come. After another fifteen minutes of waiting after I got my check for her to get my card, I just walked to the front and paid. Food was mediocre. Definitely won't be back. read more

In the oft-trendy Red Bank, this won't be the first choice among hipsters and the like. Don't misunderstand: the sushi was good, the service was also. If you're expecting the fancy special rolls and a hip sushi bar to sit by, again not for you. You can get all of the standards and some extra options, sure. But for upscale, Teak is across the street. It was packed - Sogo was 2/3 empty. Part of what's missing is atmosphere. No romantic date nights here. As for the food, we did order the Uni and it was as good as it gets. The yellowtail, tuna and mackerel were AOK. No sweet shrimp available, though. I'd go back but wouldn't take a client here. read more

Reasonably priced! Healthy! And most of all, delicious! Starting with the price, it's about the average price of any little sushi restaurant, so that's good! It's also incredibly HEALTHY (I'd think!). They make all their sushi with brown rice, and before you click out, let me just say... You can't even tell from the taste. I'm personally not a fan of brown rice, but this was DELICIOUS and likely some of the best sushi I have ever had! I ordered TWO special rolls: the golden roll and the sakura roll. The golden roll had avocado on top and it was incredibly refreshing. It's like you could taste the freshness of the ingredients. The sakura roll had crab and guess what - I don't like like crab much either but this was absolutely delicious!! They were both very delicious. For dessert, I caved in and ordered fried ice cream too. Like always, it was a messy eat, but it was great! The fried outside and the ice cream really tasted great together and didn't taste like a separate vanilla ice cream and random fried layer on the outside. The atmosphere is very nice and mellow and the workers were very kind. Highly recommended! read more
