"A second location debuted June 4 in the former Holcomb, offering the same hand rolls and cut rolls, donburi, and starters (including cucumber salad) from chef Kiminobu Saito’s original menu. The operation is a partnership among David Gibbs and Kiminobu Saito of Sushi Note, and Sarah Dietz and Dustin Lancaster, the industry veterans behind Los Angeles bars such as Bar Covell, L&E Oyster Bar, and Real Charmer." - Mona Holmes
"Since Sogo’s opening, their front patio area has been used for people to wait around until a seat became available at the bar inside. Now, the Los Feliz sushi spot has converted the space into dining, meaning you can enjoy their simple, fresh hand rolls while remaining outside and socially distant." - brett keating
"Combine the fast-casual convenience of Kazu Nori with the high-quality sashimi of Sushi Note (run by the same people as this spot) and you’ll end up with a Venn diagram that looks like Sogo. This hand roll bar gets creative with its fillings, such as the brandy-soaked albacore and sweet scallops coated in masago mayo. The six-roll set is the perfect size for lunch and includes the most interesting cuts from the menu, so consider it an easy yes when you’re in the mood for midday sushi." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"When one of the best sushi restaurants in Los Angeles announced that they were opening a handroll bar in Los Feliz, we weren’t just excited, we were ready to seize the fish (a school of thought known as carp-e diem). And Sogo doesn’t disappoint - owned and operated by the team behind Sushi Note, they’re serving creative, unique handrolls made with high-quality fish. They’re open all day, but we recommend heading there for lunch and getting the six-roll set, which includes brandy-soaked albacore, snapper in yuzu ponzu sauce, and bluefin tuna that’s fatty in all the best ways." - brant cox, kat hong, brett keating
"This handroll restaurant in Los Feliz urges you to seize the fish (a school of thought known as carp-e diem) - they’re in the same vein as spots like KazuNori or The HRB Experience, but what separates Sōgo from their competitors is a combo of higher-quality fish and unique, creative rolls. Which should come as no surprise, given that they’re owned and operated by the team behind Sushi Note, a wine bar/sushi restaurant in Sherman Oaks that is one of the best raw fish-experiences in Los Angeles. We recommend ordering the six-roll set, which is the perfect size for lunch, and includes the best and most interesting cuts of fish, like fatty bluefin toro, brandy-soaked albacore, and snapper served with a perfectly light yuzu ponzu sauce. Grab a seat on their front patio and enjoy their simple handrolls while remaining outside and socially distant." - kat hong
