The creative collision of Ritual Meets Art ignites a theatrical journey for the senses, anchored by the freshest Queensland ingredients for a modern, localised touch.
Sokyo favourites, such as the Spicy Tuna on a bed of Crispy Rice, will be met with enticing new flavours including truffle-infused lobster, grilled over Japanese charcoal. Complementing your experience is a comprehensive selection of Japanese sakes and whiskies, Japanese beers, shochu cocktails, wine and Champagne and non-alcoholic options to provide an added burst of flavour.
The Sokyo brand has indulged diners for over a decade at The Star Sydney, with the inaugural venue becoming one of the most celebrated Japanese culinary experiences in Australia, alongside award-winning sister restaurant, Kiyomi, at The Star Gold Coast.

Sokyo Executive Chef Alex Yu
A full circle moment poeticised Alex Yu’s appointment as Sokyo Brisbane Executive Chef. The renowned chef’s culinary odyssey began at Sokyo Sydney in 2014 where he mastered his craft for eight years. Known by the moniker ‘sashimi florist’, his artistry and skill mirror Sokyo’s Ritual Meets Art philosophy.
In 2022 Yu assumed the role of Head Chef at Melbourne’s Yugen where his vision and expertise saw the restaurant earn two coveted hats within a mere month of opening. Now taking the helm at Sokyo Brisbane, Yu has elegantly woven his signature style into a menu that harmonizes tradition with contemporary flair, bringing the unforgettable experience of Sokyo to Brisbane.
