10/10 no notes. This is the best yellowtail i’ve ever had, the Hama Jala is outstanding.

i dont know about the food but i had a job interview here once and totaled my car on the way, and the guy or girl with japanese name didn't say nothing to me and ghosted me after trying to explain. Shows 0 care.

I love Sota. Great sushi and usually very friendly staff. Tonight we ordered take out and the hostess with reddish hair couldn’t have been more unfriendly. She made us feel so uncomfortable and was beyond rude. Not even a simple hello or thank you was exchanged—actually, no words were.

The food at SOTA is consistently amazing. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. 5 stars for the food alone!
Best sushi inOC. We use to go to Blue Finn but the service wasn't great and they acted like they were doing you a favor. Not here, the food and the people are great

Over price. Salmon sashimi did not met expectation, not fresh enough. The soft shell crab was over fried. Service is slow.

This is a great place… u can reasonably get in on busy nights (one of the reasons I come) and it’s reasonably priced. Theres a place on the pennisula I prefer but it’s double or triple the price and it’s a 2 hour ordeal at min.
I feel like this is a great neighborhood spot…
My Go to’s
Oyster: Uni shooters (we love these!) Soft Shell Crab (sooo good ?) 5pc Omakase Chardonnay Lychee Martini

We dined in the 1st time - some of the food was great and well priced (spicy tuna rolls $10) but others were a miss; i thought the yuzu sauce on salmon overpowered the delicate salmon flavor. But the food is good, and i did takeaway a few days later. they were great despite the poor presentation.
