Somo Kitchen & Sushi

A modern sushi and Japanese cuisine restaurant blends foundational culinary traditions with an inventive, open-minded pantry and contemporary dining atmosphere. Chef Nino Elgheryany and his team after more than 25 years in the restaurant industry. They opened the restaurant during the global pandemic with a simple goal: to spread love and optimism through great food. Named after the word Somo, meaning "ancestor," the restaurant blends modern style with respect for Japanese culinary traditions in Providence's Jewelry District.

We look forward to serving you!

The service was really below average, unfortunately. Our orders were not delivered to the table at the same time. One person’s order was forgotten entirely TWICE, and even after we pointed it out it took a very long time for the food to be brought to the table. We were not given water even after the waiter said it was coming. We had to ask 20 min later. The food was fine but nothing special. We chose the restaurant because of its high ratings. Unfortunately, we did not experience anything close to the level of dining experience we had read about. I cannot recommend this restaurant and would not return, myself.

Went for an early dinner after a show at PPAC. (4p Sunday) Mike was the server/bartender & was very knowledgeable & friendly. Everything he recommended was spot on!! Very different types of rolls offered, along w many different appetizers such as eggplant tempura, burrata w pears, dumplings that were top-notch. Cute room w nice big tables, full, beautiful bar. Perfect for a date or a family… Chef Nino introduced himself & was a generous & warm host w a very diverse background!!! I would highly recommend Somo! We will be back!

great location in providence. restaurant ambiance and drinks were very good, great place for a group for sure. the food and sushi was good definitely not the best I've ever had but it was good. definitely on the pricer side but overall a great place for a group to hang for drinks and a lighter fare dinner.

Showed up to a dirty table cloth and everyone crammed on top of each other in one area. Food was good but on the expensive side for size of rolls. Great service (kept the drinks coming & was very friendly). Overall, a little overrated but not bad.

How is this place rated at 4 stars plus? Maybe people have low standards in this city? The atmosphere and vibe are a huge question mark. The service is poor slow and unfriendly. Our waitress left the restaurant mid meal for 20 mins. I had to order ketchup from the sushi chef lol. The food was tasteless and bland kinda like gas station sushi. All rice no flavor. And after all of that the bill comes and it's not cheap. Bottom line: you don't get what you pay for ! Better spend your money elsewhere.

I knew things were a bit off when the hostess asked if we had a reservation but then never asked for a name. The next red flag was when we ordered the blistered shishito peppers as an appetizer and our bartender inquired if green bell peppers were an acceptable substitute for us. (sorry no, we're not interested in paying $10 for bell peppers) Then before we'd ordered our mains the hostess came over and asked if she could have our menus because they'd "run out". It was getting comical at this point. Luckily the sushi was ok and the bartender was friendly. Certainly no need to venture back to Somo with so many other sushi restaurants in the state.

Made the reservation for 7:30 through Open table. Arrived on time was told they took too many and it would be an hour wait. No place to go so we waited. They sat us in 20 minutes. But no menus for awhile as they had a shortage. Drinks took 27 minutes to get from the time we ordered. Food was good and on time and dessert was awesome. Waitress was very nice. If you don’t have the staff, don’t overbook. Made it tough to want to go back
