April 2026 Featured Hot Spot!
Soko Sushi in Santa Monica, California
Tucked discreetly inside the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, Soko Sushi is one of Los Angeles’ most intimate and refined dining experience making it Food Journal Magazine’s Featured Hotspot for April. Hidden within what was once a storeroom, this exclusive eight-seat sushi counter offers a true escape from the energy of Santa Monica, delivering a serene, high-end omakase experience that feels both personal and elevated.
Led by Chef Masa Shimakawa, Soko showcases a masterful balance of precision, tradition, and artistry. Each course is thoughtfully prepared using pristine, seasonal ingredients, allowing the natural flavors of the fish to shine. With its quiet atmosphere, front-row view of the chef’s craft, and exceptional attention to detail, Soko stands out as a hidden gem on the Westside, perfect for those seeking an unforgettable, immersive dining experience.
