Sokyo at the Star Casino

Sokyo at The Star Brisbane brings cutting-edge Japanese dining, reframed through a modern Australian lens, to the CBD. Here, ritual meets art in a theatrical journey for the senses, where precise technique meets the freshness of Queensland’s larder. The result is a contemporary expression of Japanese craft, punctuated by local character and those unexpected twists that turn the ordinary into something quietly extraordinary.

The sharing menus distil the idea neatly. Seared maguro tataki is brightened with finger lime salsa and a delicate yuzu soy dressing, a meeting of coastal Queensland and Japanese clarity. Grain-fed Angus short rib brings depth, its galbi sweet soy and ponzu adding umami-laden sway, and on the premium path, a silken egg yolk provides a luxuriant finish. Balanced, textural, and designed for conviviality, these plates invite lingering.

The mood is cutting-edge and theatrical, with a sense of ceremony threaded through each plate as ritual meets art. Set within Brisbane CBD, it channels a modern, localised touch, letting Queensland ingredients speak in a refined Japanese vernacular. Settle in and let the journey unfold; a seat at Sokyo promises surprise, craft, and a final flourish worth savouring. Chopsticks at the ready.
