Overall, Sogen is praised for fresh, beautifully presented sushi and inventive specialties that many consider among the best on the south shore. The presentation is often described as stunning, with edible flowers and unique sauces enhancing each dish and even off-menu tasting items that are highly recommended. Service is generally friendly and attentive, with several reviews noting exceptional staff, though a few visits mention slower pacing or moments of inattentiveness. Prices can be high and some guests feel portions or value don’t always match the bill, while others feel the quality justifies the cost. The atmosphere is welcoming, with a pleasant dining room and a sizeable terrace that enhances evenings; takeout is also appreciated for consistent flavors. There are occasional caveats such as reports of cold miso soup, a misstep on a dish or two, and at least one report of food poisoning, but the overall consensus is that Sogen delivers a remarkable sushi experience that many return to for celebrations or refined dinners.
I had an unforgettable dining experience at this sushi restaurant! The romantic ambiance set the perfect tone for the evening, with cozy tables that felt intimate yet welcoming. The staff were absolutely delightful-not intrusive, but always there just when needed, creating a seamless & enjoyable experience. & the food was simply outstanding! Each dish was beautifully presented & tasted as amazing as it looked. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for exceptional sushi & a charming atmosphere.
J'ai été très déçue lors de ma dernière visite. Les sushis n'étaient pas aussi bons qu'ils l'ont déjà été. L'ambiance ressemblait à celle de la Cage aux Sports, malheureusement, puisque le staff était affairé à suivre une game d'hockey, en faisant les cris qui viennent avec. Par le fait même, le service était au ralenti, nous avons attendu 10-15 minutes pour commander un dessert. Ce n'est malheureusement pas l'expérience que je recherchais. Dernièrement, sérieusement, en 2024, des petits tabourets bistro, ça ne se peut pas. C'est ce qui m'a le plus dérangé. J'étais accompagnée d'une personne ronde & franchement, ne pas être confortablement assis c'est le comble pour un restaurant. Elle a dû alterner entre manger debout & assise pour permettre un repos à ses jambes. C'est impensable qu'une telle décision ait été prise consciemment. J'allais mettre un 3, mais pour cette raison, je mets un 2.
The place looks gorgeous & the food was amazing. Service was courteous & extremely polite. Very friendly server with great care to details. Even though the place was packed & very busy, the experience was still exquisite. Price is up to par with most restaurants of this quality, even cheaper than most of lower grade. We will go back for sure.
L'ambiance de ce restaurant est très sympa ! Très approprié pour les couples à ce jour. Les serveurs sont très enthousiastes & beaux😜. Mais je suis presque sûr que le Hosomaki d'avocat que j'ai commandé n'était pas fraîchement préparé. J'ai également commandé d'autres plats...tous moyens.
Best sushi & seafood restaurant in town, we were served by Lina, very professional, present & attentive to details. they also have a great choice of local wines
Nous avons pris le menu dégustation & c'etait incroyablement bon! Un gros merci à notre serveur Davis pour son excellent service. Nous y retournerons assurément

Good restaurants with a pleasant atmosphere-quieter than some other places. The rolls were good & quite large, though adding Philadelphia cheese would have been a nice touch. The service was attentive, & I particularly enjoyed fried rolls, with nice amount of salmon. I would recommend this place for a relaxed dining experience.
