Soto

Soto sits on Westheimer Road in Houston's Montrose neighborhood, serving Edomae-style and modern sushi with an English-language menu. The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner, with lunch service running 11:00 am to 3:00 pm and dinner from 5:00 or 5:30 pm depending on the day.

The menu covers a wide range beyond omakase: nigiri and sashimi built around seasonal fish sourced from Tokyo's Tsukiji market, cold and hot dishes, makimono rolls, ishiyaki hot-stone wagyu, and a sake and sushi-beer list. Diners can order à la carte or choose the Omakase or Premium Omakase, with the standard dinner omakase priced at $150 per person. A separate lunch omakase is available for $25, alongside other lunch specials like bara-chirashi and maki combinations served with miso soup and salad.

Soto has a private room, making it suited to small group bookings as well as walk-in or reserved seating at the counter or main dining room. The restaurant is rated easy for reservation difficulty, and tables can be booked through OpenTable or by calling the restaurant directly at (713) 485-4514.

The space accommodates parties of varying sizes, though groups of six or more will see a 20% gratuity added automatically. Vegan-labeled dishes are noted on the menu but are not prepared in a dedicated vegan kitchen, so diners with allergies or dietary restrictions should inform their server before ordering.
