    Not a great experience at all. We had the crab rangoons to start, which were still frozen in the middle and clearly not cooked long enough. We then split some sushi rolls. The dynamite roll was the best of the three. The others weren't great, especially the spicy scallops which was so fishy. It was overpowering in not a good way. The service was so so. The waiter was attentive but also didn't notice when drinks were empty, forgot an item we ordered, and was slow to get us a check. The restaurant looked nice but it ended there too. The floors were sticky and clearly needed a clean. It also smelled very weird when you first entered - my guess is whatever cleaning product was being used or the bathrooms. Overall, not a pleasant experience, and we would choose to go elsewhere.

    I love the decor inside. Seating was acceptable. Our service was ok. It took forever for someone to come by and keep up on service. The busboy was the most attentive person there. As far as the food, presentation was lovely. Freshness was not so much. I wouldn't ever go back for sushi. The taste of a few of our rolls was just completely off. I expect fresh fish when eating sushi and sashimi. That's definitely not what we got. The dumplings were fried nicely but seriously lacking in flavor. The only flavor came from the dipping sauce. I'm more impressed by frozen supermarket dumplings. RI is full of amazing food and amazing restaurants. Sadly, this is not one of them. I'm not returning. Not even to try the cooked food. Disappointed to say the least.

    Went here on a whim. Looking for "outstanding sushi"...nah. It was ok good. Lunch Special $18 . Guys behind sushi bar trying to work it out. Couple of glitches. Pricey...(I think they are exploring their pricing too.) 2 small hot sake...$24 ridiculous. Yellowtail scallion role (they had NO scallions--used chives instead!) $12... (eg Haruki $8) Lunch $65...nah

    Grilled Oysters

    TLDR: Has potential, but a few improvements needed to bring it to the next level. I hate to say it, but Somo did not hit the mark I was expecting... the fish was notably fishy in taste and smell and was not as cold as I wanted (which made me question the freshness). While the flavors and ingredients in the signature rolls have a lot of potential, it was missing that zhush... The rolls were too thick, with the rice overpowering the other ingredients. Signature rolls were also pricey ($20/roll)! We also had the grilled oysters, but were slightly too salty for us. A little goes a long way! Service was a bit slow, and there was a slight language barrier with our server, which made ordering a challenge. Only street parking is available.

    Stopped in for sushi. after a bit of hurricane barrier fishing, and walked into a culture fusion of Asian and modern Rhody Gorgeous decor, feels like you're under water and walking through the Japanese cherry blossom gardens...the menu is diverse and creative; chef taking risks that paid off with exploding flavors and delicious drinks. Perfect place for a business or family celebration, corporate dinner, and special event. The owner gave us a warm welcome and was gracious thanking us for noticing the bar purse hooks and phone charging outlets under the bar counter. The bathrooms are clean and have a pleasant scent, nothing intrusive or intense. Definitely will be back!

    Walked in here randomly one day and found the ambiance of the place to be very nice and large. Service was a bit slow at times but it wasn't too bad. I ordered a lychee martini it was good but wish they added the actual lychee to the martini but that is personal preference. Overall the food was good, the sushi tasted fresh and the serving size of the sushi was good as well

    Jumbo Shrimp Udon Noodle
    Amy H.

    I visited Somo with a friend and we ordered the Unagi Nigiri, Paradise Roll, Salmon Shashimi, and Jumbo Shrimp Udon Noodle. The food overall was okay. The roll was not too special for ~$20/roll. The salmon shashimi did taste great; it was fresh and buttery. The nigiri was also flavorful with the eel sauce! However, the udon noodle was somewhat of a disappointment; it lacked the traditional Japanese noodle taste and came with a creamy, cheesy base which was a little off-setting. However, the service was great. The waiter was really nice and checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. Additionally, the decorations in the restaurant added charm to the establishment, which was enjoyable.

    The staff at Somo are so kind! We were running late to our reservation so I gave them a call and they assured me they would have a table for us. Everything we ate was great. The udon noodles were amazing. Spicy, flavorful sauce. Great selection of both sushi and cooked entrees. Fun cocktail list as well. The lychee martini was perfect. We will definitely be back!

    Had a very nice dinner. The menu is limited, with only a handful of options for simple sushi. We ordered an app and several sushi rolls. I had a question about the sake and the server let us know she would check with the owner since she wasn't too knowledgeable, which I appreciated. The owner came over quickly and walked me through the options. Service was very prompt and thorough. The sushi was good but I would have liked a few more options. I really enjoyed the decor, and they had the dining room decorated for Christmas. Side note: some of the rolls say crispy rice on the menu. I was anticipating deep fried rice as the base...but in actuality it was just some crispy pieces of rice sprinkled over the top of the roll. I got so excited thinking it was crispy fried rice!

    Friendly staff! Have to start with a compliment. I would really rate it 2-3 stars. The Rice was hard and I like my sushi rice to be soft, warm and fresh. They had great presentation but really disappointed

    Rose Q.

    I really enjoyed this place because the food was great and the service was super friendly. I was impressed by how attentive and nice people there. All the sushi was fresh and delicious. The chicken teriyaki was amazing!! If you want something warm and tasty the chicken teriyaki will be a good choice. I really want to try more things on the menu. We arrived a bit early for lunch and it got busy later on. It seems like a popular place for lunch as well. The restaurant looked small from outside but inside is beautiful and well decorated. I will definitely go back again and I hope you will try this place. It will not disappoint you.

    Dynamite roll, Somo samurai roll, Flower Tower - all average tasting rolls but overpriced!
    Olivia O.

    All around just OK. We could've gotten the exact same food items for much cheaper at a casual sushi restaurant - the food was all overpriced. The aesthetic of the colored rice was the best thing about this place. The inside lighting was terrible which negatively impacts the overall aesthetic of the restaurant. Service could use some improvement - we were practically begging for drink refills throughout the night. Our waitress didn't seem the least bit interested in doing her job, answering questions about the menu, or making sure we were taken care of. Disappointing!

    After attending a meeting nearby we dropped into the East End after about 8:15 pm. The place was…read morepretty full of people in both the bar area and the dining room. We ordered drinks before the meal. I had a Vermont Red Ale for the first time which was very good and worth remembering. At this time they were serving'cocktails for a cause' in support of the Alzheimer's Association, which my other half decided to have. The drink, Fuchsia Butterflies ($15), was made solarium gin, house-made lemoncello, with a Gran Classico & Violet Rinse. It was quite excellent. I had a sip to try (I am usually not one for cocktails) and enjoyed the taste. Perhaps I will try cocktails in the future. For food we shared curry moules frites, well done, just how I like them, and salt and vinegar Wings - tasty but too salty which detracted from the dish. We ended with a good chocolate mint creme brûlée. The check came to $80 to which we added a decent tip for our friendly server, Triston. We have always enjoyed the vibe and cozy environment of this place and are sure to return.

Not the kind of place I really want to sit in and enjoy a cocktail. Dungeon like. The music is loud hip hop, not something I mind, but worth noting if thats not for you. I sat at the bar, and honestly didn't feel like it was super clean. I don't think the counter had been wiped down for a while. Staff were doing their best but seemed overwhelmed on a Saturday night. I was watching them make the cocktails and did not feel like it was very sanitary. They've got one small sink they're rinsing everything in, they were chucking stuff, literally chucking and slamming metal. They were dumping out people's drinks into the same side of the sink and then rinsing in the other side. But stuff was splashing into what should be the clean side. It's not a good setup for a cocktail bar. The cocktail menu had 8 drinks on it, 2 they were out of. Nothing had whiskey in it. I got a drink called Darjeeling something. Really didn't like it, didn't taste balanced and it looked different than someone else's who ordered the same thing, not sure if the bartender forgot an ingredient. The bartender also wasn't tasting the drinks which I usually see to ensure it was made correctly. This one had curry in it as a listed ingredient and it was just way too strong a flavor. It was a rum drink with some mezcal but it just tastes like mezcal and curry powder. The place was pretty busy but people were coming and going frequently. There's only one bathroom which really isn't enough for a bar. Seems like there's potential here but I didn't like the menu offerings and the sanitary concerns leave me with no desire to come back here.

    A weird experience.... We walked in and waited by the front door and the "Please wait to be seated"…read moresign for a few minutes. No one helped us, so we walked to the bar and ordered. The bartender told us the drinks were covered by the host, which is when we realized it was a private party in the entire space. We told them we weren't part of the party and paid for drinks, but apparently we never should've been let in. No one stopped us at the front door. No sign. No post on their website saying they were closed for a private event. No post on their Instagram. Feels like whatever system they were trying to implement to enforce a private party totally broke down. The employees were very nice about it at the very least. We got two drinks: the Isuzu and the grape cobbler. The grape cobbler was okay - sweet but not much else going on. The Isuzu was SO bitter and I didn't like it. The description on the menu didn't match the drink at all. I wanted to like it here, and I've heard great things. However, it was such a bad experience and we didn't like the drinks, so I'm not sure we will be back.

The special was a dirty martini and a dirty martini burger. A dirty martini consists of a humongous hamburger patty , with outrageously delicious cheese and an olive. My sister opted out of the martini and had the burger sans olive. I tried the caviar hot dog,which is lobster, scallops and shrimp rolled into the shape of a hot dog and topped with caviar. The texture was not pleasing to my palate, though I ate half of it. I also opted for a lemon drop martini, which was ok. The owner came over and we discovered his birthday was that day. As a bd treat to me, he sent over what looked like gigantic onion rings. Actually it was dehydrated onions, loaded with mozzarella cheese. The outside was crispy and the inside was gooey. This is totally happy food. Both my sister and I are so looking forward to returning.
