Soko Reviews
Sunday brunch was amazing. the smoked salmon eggs Benedict were some of the best we have ever had. the location is ideal definitely get an ocean facing room. The staff catered our every need. We haven't even checked out yet and I believe we're about to book our next stay.
In August of 2023 we stayed at the Fairmont in SANTA Monica and paid a bit over $1000. Per night. I’m a world traveler. I stay in the very best hotels and this one is my only total disappointment.

Soko is a small Japanese restaurant located in the Fairmont Hotel, known for its fresh sushi and intimate atmosphere. The chefs prepare rolled sushi and side dishes like miso soup and edamame right in front of guests. The setting is cozy and wheelchair accessible. The food quality is excellent, with highlights including the O’Toro nigiri, sashimi assortment, and the chef’s 6 course meal. Recently, customers enjoyed a 7 course Omakase dinner with very fresh fish and ingredients, offering flavors as good as in Japan. The tiny, intimate environment makes diners feel transported to Tokyo, especially during the chef’s meticulous preparation. The wagyu beef course was a standout, melting in the mouth. Staff are friendly and willing to help explain courses when asked, and the wasabi is freshly made from their own plant. Additionally, Sunday brunch featuring smoked salmon eggs Benedict has received praise for being one of the best, with excellent service and ocean-facing rooms available. Making a reservation is recommended to sit at the counter and watch the sushi chefs in action. Soko is a must-visit for sushi lovers and those seeking a special dining experience.
