SOHO

Frommer's Review

Judging from the crowd on a Wednesday night at SOHO, the Soteropolitanos (as residents of Salvador are called) have taken to sushi like fish to water. Located inside the Bahia Marina, SOHO sits right at the waterline. The patio is particularly pleasant -- it's worth waiting for an outside table. The large menu offers most of the usual Japanese suspects -- sushis, sashimis, tempuras, yakisobas, and grilled meat teryakis. But what earns this restaurant an above-average rating are intriguing local dishes such as the shake lounge (salmon sashimi with orange sauce, lime, and balsamic vinegar) and the uramaki shake (salmon with green onion and sesame seeds). Also worth trying are the marina maki (a salmon and prawn roll flambéed in cachaça) and the kyo (a lightly grilled tuna and nira in a thick soya sauce). The gunkon especial (warm grilled mushrooms rolled in a slice of salmon) was so good we ordered it three times. Many of the hot dishes such as the yakisoba noodles are large enough to share, especially after you've had a couple of the sashimi and sushi appetizers.
