SOCO Kitchen + Bar - Toronto, Ontario

Enjoyed a quick meal at Soco. The service was excellent. We ordered a kids pizza, Caesar salad and apps from the happy hour menu. A great place to meet up when exploring downtown.

We stopped here for a meal before our daughter went to a concert. It was ok but nothing to write home about. We had 2 pizzas and a Caesar salad. One pizza was burnt a bit and the other was under cooked. As far as the salad, It was nothing ... special. Definitely not worth the cost. I know it's not the best review, but that is how we feel.

5 of us came here for lunch the other day (12:45pm). We made a reservation but it was very quiet, and probably didn't have to make one but that's okay. We went on a Saturday and didn't realize that lunch isn't served on weekends - only brunch is. We were a ... little disappointed, as we had looked at the lunch menu before arriving and the brunch menu didn't have many of the same options, but that's our own fault for missing the fine print. We also didn't realize the rooftop patio had a different menu than the indoor restaurant. Again, not their fault but we missed that. We decided to dine indoors because there were much more food options, rather than drinks. Overall, the food was very average. Everyone agreed that their food was a little bland, and some commented that their dishes were a little greasy. I got the spicy chicken burger and it was definitely very greasy, a little messy, and not at all spicy. I was expecting it to be white meat, but it was a mix of white meat, dark meat, and fat which was a little disappointing. The tater tots were very good though, and my friend ordered the fries which were truly delicious. I think the biggest drawback was the service, though. I didn't catch the name of the man serving us but it felt very much like he didn't want us there. He didn't check in on us at all, and when he set our food down it almost felt like he was throwing it down and then leaving as quickly as he could. If it had been busy I would completely understand but there were only a couple other tables in the whole restaurant and most of them were being served by other people. I tried not to think too much of it and didn't mention it, but when we left, the other members of my party all commented on how they had felt unwelcome. However, the restaurant itself is very clean. It is well kept, but does feel very "corporate". Read more

Located right beside my workplace, I'm surprised I haven't been to SOCO before. It's more of a business meal type environment, as the prices are pretty high without using an expense account, and the menu is nothing too special. Despite this, I did enjoy my meal here and I would ... consider coming again. I ordered the chicken katsu curry, which was a surprise to me to even see it on the menu. The portion, for $32 was pretty good - of course you can get an amazing katsu for less somewhere else, but for the location this was really good. The taste was great and the amount of chicken was sizable. The only complaint I'd have is that the presentation made it hard for me to pair rice with the curry sauce, as the rice was all hidden underneath the egg rather than underneath the curry. My coworker got the tuna poke bowl ($30) and that looked good as well. The portion didn't look that big, but I didn't hear any complaints. We also ordered the whisky cake ($16) for dessert, which was just okay. Overall, we paid $116 including tax and tip for lunch, which really is quite expensive. But, I was pretty happy with the quality of the meal and I've definitely had worse nearby. If you do come here - I recommend the curry. Reservations likely not needed. Read more

My boyfriend and I came here for our 2 year anniversary. The service is amazing. Manya and Linda provide a good service to us and also made a hand made congratulations card for us. It was super sweet and full of love❤️. Also the food is delicious. The steak cook so well ... and the desert is really good. The server was also helpful and answer different questions from us. We really enjoy the entire experience! Read more
