Noodles are actually spaghetti. Sushi felt, tasted like it was not good quality. Miso didn't feel or taste like there was any thought or love in it. Hibachi veg was decent as long as I survive the rest. McDonald's style sushi and hibachi with so so service read more

Tonight was horrible! Ordered alot of food and the tempura was soggy when it should be crispy plus the vegetables were hard. The packing of the food is horrible things fell out, maybe invest in better containers like Chinese places not styrofoam. MISSING ITEMS and missing ordered food! This shouldn't be that hard to get an order right , when you repeat yourself an then someone double checks it. Sushi was also soggy. I would suggest not offering take out, maybe just go there to eat, Also ordered two full meals and they didn't pack the salads for that apparently had to ask, I'm sorry do I work for you? Please do your FULL job ! read more

Not a great eating experience. Food quality shows that the operator is more concerned with the cost of his food than the quality of what he serves. Chicken was mush due to over tenderizing and steak was cut into dices to cover the poor quality of the cut. It is what it is don't have high hopes. read more

Took my wife a daughter out last night. The hibachi vegetable plate was great. It came to the table super fast even though the place was busy. The vibe is welcoming but it's a small space. read more

Our family chose to go to Sogo on a Thursday night for their BOGO 1/2 off sushi special. We ordered a shrimp tempura roll and one of the specialty rolls that also had shrimp tempura in it. In order to get the BOGO sushi special, you had to order a soup or drink. Doesn't seem like a great deal to me since the cost of the drink or soup basically pays for the other half of the roll. I asked the server if we could order a kids hibachi chicken instead and she was able to do that. The sushi came out quickly and tasted great. Their hibachi was also good, not the best I have had but tasty. For the total price, I do not feel the need to go back any time soon. However the service, food, and location were all good. read more

Bought hibachi steak to go, when we got home and sit down to eat, there was only nine half bites of steak! Called the restaurant to let them know my complaint, I was told not to eat it and bring it back, and that would be fine if I did not live twenty minutes away! She said someone would call me back but they never did! I am assuming that my business and complaint does not matter to them! I would recommend always checking your food before leaving their restaurant! read more

Sogo Express II - Hibachi steak nibbles - Japanese Near Me - Locust, North Carolina

This place has gone down in every category but the price. No more tall Sapporo's. Half price sushi has become buy one get one half off. Sushi wasn't fresh. Had to hunt down waitress every time we needed her. At a time they should be stepping up their game, they are falling behind. Roll and bowl is coming Sogo. read more

Sogo Express II - tables and chairs in a restaurant - Japanese Near Me - Locust, North Carolina

We've been here multiple times, and each time we've had good service and delicious food. The place is pretty clean, there is a large dining room with lots of tables and booths! They just added some new menu items, including the crab rangoons! They're really good, but I believe it's over $5 for four rangoons, which is sort of pricey in my opinion. The sweet Thai chilli sauce that came with it was really good and spicy! Our waitress was nice and helpful, the hostess was welcoming and promptly sat us upon arrival with no problems. We ordered two sushi rolls, the San Fran and the Dynamite roll, both were amazing. Super fresh tasting and delicious. We also ordered edamame which was just okay, but that's a pretty bland food in general. We shared a hibachi chicken entree and salad with ginger dressing. Everything tasted good and our waitress paid attention to when we needed refills on drinks, extra sauce, etc. Overall, we've always enjoyed our visits here and look forward to coming back again. read more

Went here tonight and the owner blamed the hair INSIDE my sushi roll on my kids lol. She continued to say the hair wasn't the color of the cooks then threw it on the ground. . Ignored me 1000000% (told her three times) when I told her it was in the roll. I still would've paid for my food but the disrespect is the problem. I'm not one to bash a business but then you blame my kids over a BROWN/BLACK hair (when they're clearly toe heads and against a white plate you can't see their hair) inside my sushi roll when it came out. . We will never go back. Terrible business owner but atleast the waitress was very very nice I wish I could've gotten her name. read more

Didn't know what to expect when looking at the reviews, but honestly I quite enjoyed it. They don't have too large a variety but that's not really a bad thing as what they do have is pretty good. I and another got sushi and it was good, the two others got hibachi plates and they enjoyed it as well. Prices are also decent. And last but not least, the service was amazing. Our server was very nice and quite funny. All in all an alright place to eat. read more

Sogo Express II - Spicy tuna roll, Philly roll, and a Blue Moon ale. Yummy - Japanese Near Me - Locust, North Carolina

Food is definitely not worth the price. To go services are unacceptable. We have eaten there for the last time. The hostess was rude when we went back for the rest of our order! I don't want anything that I have not paid for! My expectations of a correct order are too much. read more

Needs major improvement. Their prices are way too high for the quality of food. Their online menu states Tuesday and Thursday's are half off sushi and when I called to order the waitress said it was only for dine in. This was not specified anywhere on their menu. Thats false advertising so we decided to go to Roll and Bowl instead. We haven't ordered in quite a while but in the past it was very common to get unprofessional, hardly friendly wait staff taking online orders. I hope things change for this business. It has so much potential if they would put in some more effort and stay competitive. read more

Would give 0 stars! Normally love this place but they left food off our order and it was too late to call back and let them know, called the next day and they would not give us the food left off or our money back. Will not be going back!!! read more

I wasn't a fan of their sushi, it didn't taste right and their fried rice also didn't taste right. The place was empty when I went and my food still took a long time. If you want good sushi look elsewhere. read more

I'm local and have been coming here for years! it used to be really great honestly. however lately in the past two months or so, the quality of food has gone down tremendously. the plum wine was great! everything else was very disappointing. if you want sushi go to roll and bowl lol read more

Sogo Express II - hardly anything other than rice - Japanese Near Me - Locust, North Carolina

Ordered take out last night and ordered 5 meals. they had smushed 5 boxes into one bag. The heat and the weight from the boxes caused them to all collapse and the food spilled into the bag. We called back and they immediately replaced the order but we went to pick it up and they only had 4 of the 5 meals and each meal was missing noodles or rice. The manager walked over to the poor host working hard to fix everything and helped him fix the problem. The host and manager were very sweet and apologetic about the situation so great business management on their part. However, the 4 boxes were still smushed into one bag and the 5th in its own but they did double box the bottom boxes. I also ended up getting food poisoning (hibachi chicken) so that was extremely disappointing read more

So, I grew up going to the Sogo in Concord. I was excited when this location opened up near my parents' residence. I came now a few years later to see that the booths and the chairs needed to be placed, or at least cleaned because stains are visible during the daylight. The food was decent. The sushi was not the best I have had, but imitation crab was used. The tuna was also very soft and kind of soggy. The wait staff was very short with us and the hostess was sitting down next to the hostess stand on her phone, blatantly seen to anyone walking in the door. I understand it may be slow or boring, but it looks unprofessional. read more

The food is pretty good, especially the tempura and sushi. The flavor of the hibachi doesn't suit my taste.

One stars based on my first experience eating in the actual place. But no stars for ordering to go after speaking highly of this to my sister I had a horrible experience. They left out my dressing in a salad and I went back in to get it after paying and was met with horrible customer service. I believe she was the manager and she had a horrible attitude saying it was my fault I didn't receive the dressing for my salad. I also ordered the same roll I had in my dine experience to be met with un edible roll. The salmon was so bad I had to throw it out. Mind you I ate this pick up less then 5 minutes after receiving it and I was 3 minutes early for pick up time. Dear lord learn some customer service and quality control for your orders. Would not recommend read more

*SOGOS LOCUST* I had a problem with the service at Sogos in Locust, NC. I asked to speak to the manager(Tina). She wasn't on site so they take my number. She calls me and we sort things out, great. THEN THE MANAGER TINA CALLS ME AGAIN THINKING I'M THE WAITRESSES AT THE RESTAURANT!!!! TINA: She proceeds to talk to "Heather" and is cussing me out, calling me a bitch, saying this is like harrassment, telling them (the waitresses) to give me my shit so I'll leave. I'm pissed as crap at this point and let her know she didn't call Sogos, she called me back on accident. THEN SHE LIES saying her name is Heather. THE CALL WAS FROM TINA'S PERSONAL CELL NUMBER. She was covering her ass cause she messed up bad!! THE OWNER AMY NOW REFUSES TO CALL ME BACK. (Guessing Tina is lying again to cover her tracks)! This is the WORST service I have ever dealt with in my life. This place is a joke and the service is trash. read more

Great Food, Clean, walking distance from my house I will ride my skateboard to pick up my order, nice and easy pickup 7/10 would get again

This place is great! Abby was lovely and helpful. The food was yummy. Tempura was to die for! I will be back!

Pretty good stuff. Service was fast and super friendly. Sushi roll was good, not the best "rolling" I've had but decent for a small town. Hibachi chicken was also okay, tasted like the chicken had been precooked and reheated - but a good sized portion. read more

Hibachi. YUCK. Food was terrible. Vegetables mushy. Salad rotten. Too much dressing, too! All of it was worthless to me. Service OK. I was hoping for so much more! read more

Sign on front door clearly states masks required and to stay six feet apart. Hostess and waitresses weren't wearing masks that covered their noses. Tables were not set up for proper social distancing. Horde of customers at hostess desk waiting to pay also not social distancing or being reminded to wear their masks. Total disappointment. Used to love this place, but they clearly don't consider public health a priority. Also, food was brought out and waitress left without bringing silverware. By the time she did, our food was cold. read more

We have been Sogo patrons for over 20 years. Their food is fantastic. The Sogo on Branchview is closest, we have celebrated birthdays and anniversaries there. This week we ordered to go from Sogo Express ll in Locust and it was incredible!!!! The taste was awesome, lived up to our expectations! Thank you! read more

Every time and I mean every time I order for take out my order is wrong I live 30 mins away and this is the closest sushi restaurant, last time I told myself due to the times my orders have been wrong I wasn't going again and stupidly I ordered today 12/31/2021 and again my order was wrong!!!! No sauces in my order that I was going to pay extra for. It's so frustrating also I ordered a dragon roll asked for an explanation of it and when I got the roll it was wrong I ordered a Kani salad and that was the nastiest Kani salad I ever ate i of course did not finish it and threw it along with the sushi out I paid 37 dollars plus cents for NOTHING the nastiest sushi ever and service was awful too. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I personally will NEVER eat their again read more

Super quick service!! The ginger dressing is by far the best I have ever tried. The hibachi is delicious: steak and chicken is flavorful and seems to be good quality, especially for the low cost. read more

HORRIBLE service. Not sure if they have changed owners or what, but we were put on hold MULTIPLE times for 2 hours straight. Hopefully the owner finds new staff who will run their restaurant in an effective way. Until then, we will not order from this establishment. read more

It's ok & beats the high price of watching the "show" at a grill side Japanese style restaurant. Sushi was pretty decent. We used to hit it once a month, because there aren't many choices in Locust.... My wife got sick (food poisoning - she thinks it was bad chicken?) last time we went about a year ago. She said she'll never go back. If not for the bad meal I would have probably given it 3 stars. read more

Sogo was a hidden gem on the trip through the south of the state. I was really hoping to find something that was not either Bojangles or Subway. And low an behold, in the new Locust Town Market off of 74, was this great little Japanese chain. It is definitely chain style Japanese, yet it is more than well done when it comes to taste and price. While there on business lunch, you cannot beat a full plate of hibachi for under $5. Matched with standard Miso, it was a wonderful slow-fast food lunch. And if you are in the area, make sure you hit them up for 1/2 price sushi on Thursday nights! read more

Interesting set up of a place. Very clean, trippy hearing rap music in an Asian restaurant. Staff was nice. Had the chicken and noodles dish; was alright. It really was an okay place to me; would go back again. read more

When we first moved to Locust, we used to order carryout from here constantly. Eventually the horrible customer service and the constantly missing food items put a stop to that. Tonight we decided to try it again and was once again disappointed. We were missing multiple items and had to go back to get them. The food is absolutely delicious though, which made me give them 3 stars instead of 1. Unfortunately that doesn't make up for the lack of customer service and missing food. read more

We dine in/carry out sogos often, but this time I stopped in to place a quick to go order instead of calling in my order. The hostess rudely stood at the desk pulling pen caps off while I waited for her to greet me. Finally she looked at me & asked if she could help me, I said "Yes, I would like to place a to go order please", & she stated "Okay, wait a minute. I have to pull off these pen caps", then another co worker walked up & she looked at him & said, "she wants to place a to-go order", he handed her a tablet & she said, "you just do it, I'm pulling these off." After all of that, I get home & realize our two salads are not even in the to-go bag! read more

My son wanted something specific and the staff went out of their way to make it happen. It was a really great experience and a lovely meal. So yummy!! read more

ZERO stars!!!!! My mother and I went to eat for lunch. The waitress came over to take our drink order. She came back with our drinks and told us she would be right back to take our food order. Another table was seated a couple tables over with three people. She went to them and asked if she could take their order first. They were not ready at that time. So she came over to us after well over 10 minutes. My mother and I ordered regardless. Our soup and salad came out almost immediately. But we waited another 15 minutes. The table that ordered at least 5 minutes after us received their food. It was then I heard the kitchen inquire about our order. Needless to say, we left!!! HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! And my water was never refilled when she came to other tables to refill theirs!!! read more

First time to Sogo, Locust- my daughter and I got the hibachi steak, she the soup and me the salad, it was very good, all of it- nice portions, the vegetables cooked perfectly, staff very friendly and service was great!! read more

Not bad for the cuisine menu. I don't eat sushi-so no comment there. The teriyaki chicken is something you can request which is a more robust flavor than their hibachi option. Wait time is short. Call ahead or order take out when you arrive. There is decent seating. The carrots are amazing, probably super unhealthy but worth whatever calorie content! They do make substitutions for sauces and sides for their combo plates very easy. Small town but offering a diverse list of options! read more

Service was great! Abigail was our server and she made suggestions for us. The dinner was awesome and the sushi was perfect as well! Can't wait to go back!!! read more

It's decent Japanese chain food, and it's better than the Sogo in Concord. One thing that suprised me is that Kids eat free Hibachi chicken on Tuesday. This makes a big difference for a larger family, and it's got a decent atmosphere for this very purpose. It's good quality and value. read more
