About Soto

Hornsby workers treat this unpretentious dining room as their daytime anchor for punchy, authentic Japanese cooking. An open kitchen buzzes behind the counter, turning out fresh plates far beyond standard takeaway rolls. Regulars lean on the spicy pork bento, crisp agedashi tofu in savoury dashi, and grilled salmon nigiri torched to order.

  • Beyond Everyday Sushi: Kitchen plates range from spicy pork bento boxes to crisp agedashi tofu alongside made-to-order sushi.
  • Open Kitchen Layout: Guests watch the chefs work across an open kitchen that keeps the room calm and unpretentious.
  • Weekday Lunch Staple: Fast turnaround and generous sets make it an essential daytime stop for local workers.
