Sokyo, Japanese restaurant in Pyrmont, Sydney, Australia
Sokyo is a Japanese restaurant within The Darling hotel that serves sushi, sashimi, and traditional Japanese dishes prepared with selected Australian ingredients. The dining space offers an upscale setting with two main experiences: a multi-course Omakase menu or a seven-course tasting at the Premium Sushi Counter.
The restaurant was established in 2013 with Executive Chef Daniel Kwak bringing extensive experience from leading Japanese restaurants across Asia. His background included work in top kitchens in Tokyo and Seoul before he relocated to Australia.
The restaurant presents the Japanese Omakase tradition, where the chef curates each menu based on seasonal market finds. Guests watch the kitchen team work closely at the counter, creating an interactive dining moment.
The Omakase experience requires advance reservations well ahead due to limited seating and high demand. The Premium Sushi Counter menu offers greater flexibility for scheduling and can be visited at various times.
The sunken dining room features large-scale Japanese calligraphy across its walls, creating a striking visual presence. These artistic elements immerse guests in the experience beyond just the food itself.
