Adam Platt weighed in on Soto this week, and I must respectfully disagree with a couple of his fundamental conclusions. He calls the sushi at Soto good but not extraordinary. I would say the sushi at Soto compares favorably to every other sushi joint in New York with the possible exception of Masa. In the end he gives it 2 stars (out of 5), which is described in the NYM legend as "very good" and is in keeping with his stingy star-giving. On the New York Magazine scale, I would give Soto three stars (or generally excellent in Platt terms). It will be interesting to see what Mr. Bruni gives it when he weighs in.
