SŌKO Japanese Canteen - Food VIC

5 /5 Jodie Kaye: Extremely tasty hot food great selection of sushi and sashimi! Amazing little grocery section some fantastic soups especially the miso and corn soups. Also have a lot of pottery - bowl and chopsticks are also from here. Service is amazing. All the staff are so lovely.

5 /5 Lok Sze Chan: Please if possible to consider opening on Saturdays ！ Tried this place today finally. The sushi is soooo nice. I love it they have other fish options here and not only just the salmon. Love the Saba, hotate and the white fishes. The sushi is fresh and its real japanese style sushi. Also love the Genmaicha latte. It is done so well and hardly find this elsewhere. Hope this place can open on Saturday one day so that I can bring my family here to shop and to enjoy the sushi too

4 /5 Alice: Chanced upon Soko, which is a Japanese canteen and grocery shop in Rowville, and stopped for lunch. Decided to try out the bento (Wagyu hamburg/rice with potato and soba salads $17.50 ) which was quite nice. There are also selection of sushi and the sign said they can make it fresh upon ordering. Will definitely need to try next time. However it is mainly a takeaway canteen with only three counter seats by the entrance. Shop also have a variety of Japanese goods including sake, snacks and merchandise. It cost a little more than similar Asian supermarkets in other suburbs but looks like a wider variety.

5 /5 PHU CAM “AYO ITS CAM”: What can I say? Great work, good selection Wicked customers service Great spot for lunch or whatever (for us it was after 1000 steps) Groceries range is good as well

4 /5 Ze W T: It was my first time visiting SOKO Japanese Canteen. They only open Monday to Friday from 8 am to 2.30 pm. I didnt try any food that day, but they have sushi lunches, donburi, salad set, and bento choices to choose from. They have a big kitchen behind the counter, constantly making fresh batches of food. There are not many sitting areas to dine in, but I can see most office workers come in and take away mostly. I was impressed with the selection of Japanese products available at cheaper prices compared to our usual grocery store. I did buy a few types of frozen daifuku (cream daifuku strawberry, green tea, and red bean white daifuku) to try at home. They all taste really nice. Its really soft after thawing. Very friendly staff. One of them came over to explain the products and how they are used in dishes. It helps with deciding which products to buy. I will definitely try their sushi / bento in the future. But I do wish they open on Saturday so it would make it easier to visit.
