So Restaurant

So Restaurant, located in the Petticoat Lane dining quarter near Spitalfields Market, offers an intimate and authentic Japanese dining experience. The family-run restaurant features traditional Japanese yatai stalls and a wooden interior, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere that's popular with expats.

Originally launched in 2006, So Restaurant moved from Soho to its current East London location in 2020. The menu at this authetic Japanese restaurant highlights signature dishes like miso-marinated black cod and grilled kabayaki eel, prepared on a custom yogan-yaki grill, alongside classics such as sushi, sashimi, Wagyu beef, and tempura. Those looking to focus more on drinks can enjoy various tapas-style snacks alongside a varied assortment of premium sake and Japanese whisky, as well as highballs and other cocktails.

Regular events and unique offerings like concerts and wine tastings add to the restaurant's appeal, blending culinary artistry with a community-driven atmosphere.
