Sophusion

10/10 recommend. The ambiance of the restaurant is top notch; beautifully decorated and great background music. I visited with a group of 9 and everyone’s orders were served at the same time for each course (and was still hot). The chef and waitress were very accommodating and tentative to our needs. The food was DELICIOUS. Highly recommend the sweet chili calamari, shrimp tostones, lamb bolognese, lamb chops, lobster mac & cheese, truffle fries, hen and crab cake. The passion fruit mocktail was also delicious. We were all too full for dessert but we’re able to indulge in a complimentary celebratory butter cake and it melted in our mouths. By the way, it’s a BYOB so feel free to come in with your bottles! Parking was not an issue. There was free street parking and a lot next door. So happy to have such an establishment in the neighborhood! Definitely a small business worth supporting. I’m about to become a regular.

Its a great spot for great food and intimate vibe. The service was great and all the dishes were flavorful. That butter cake is the devil

Great food, and Ambiance! I had oxtail dumplings, they were just okay. The lamb chops were to die for! garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach was yummy! Beet salad was Everything! Bread pudding was awesome too!

I don’t know how this has less than 5 stars. Our experience was nothing short of spectacular. We came 20 minutes after it opened and only the short rib wasn’t ready, which was fine because it was ready by the time I ordered it (around 5pm)! Kimberly was attentive and kind, gave us recommendations, and went above and beyond when I wanted to try two sides but didn’t know which I wanted (so she brought me both to try). The FOOD!!! Chef back there truly cares about how she prepares that food because it was so delicious. I got the short rib and my MERCY, I ate it all. My partner got the Lamb Chops and the portion was so good. Everything about the meal was *chefs kiss*! No complaints. Try the Purple fusion if you like lychee and ginger, we also got the oxtail dumplings and they were good, I just wish they were a bit more juicy! Can’t wait to visit this spot again. A Lansdowne gem!

We made it to brunch at Sophusion today and it was delicious! Definitely recommend going if you get the chance. We’re vegetarian so we got the vegan chicken and waffles (fried oyster mushrooms) and the ricotta blueberry stuffed french toast. We also got a side of truffle potato wedges. Everything was great and portions were large. We left completely stuffed. The descriptions on the vegan items for the dinner menu leave a little to be desired (they’re vague and general - “seasonal veggie plate” and “veggie pasta” ) but based on the food we had today and all the other food I’ve seen coming out of here, now I want to go back for dinner. They really know what they’re doing and I don’t think those vegetarian dinners would be an afterthought the way they may sound from the descriptions. The service was also great and we didn’t even have to wait very long for our food, which is often a struggle for newer restaurants. On top of that, the restaurant was completely full! A few people got turned away even. If they can keep up this momentum Sophusion will be a great asset to Lansdowne. Lansdowne often has some “best kept secrets” so if you haven’t visited in a while, there’s a lot going on right now!

The sweet chili calamari and oxtail dumplings were delicious. I tried all of the nonalcoholic fruity drinks and they didn't disappoint. I had the mushroom stir fry and braised short ribs, they both were exceptionally well-prepared. The pumpkin soup was good. I also ordered a side of potatoes and fries for the table and they were also delicious. Now the disrespect showed herself with the desserts and I mean that in a good way. The toffee cake, butter cake, and sweet potato beignets were all giving a ten. This place has a nice atmosphere and I want to catch brunch here..Stay tuned.

The food was amazing! I had the lobster and waffle the lobster was huge and seasoned to perfection. I also tried the oxtail dumplings, which were full of flavor, and the sweet chili crispy calamari, which was tender and crispy. Every bite was bursting with flavor but not overly salty. I am beyond impressed and will definitely return! Oh, I almost forgot about the strawberry dragon mocktail it's incredibly deeeeeeeeelicious! They should bottle that up in a gallon size; I would definitely buy it.

Omggg where to start !?!? Valentine’s Day 2025 Arriving at Sophusion immediately first thing was parking was a breeze! (There’s a parking lot next door) Now, upon entry into Sophusion we were met with classy, romantic, soul vibe and jazz music was wafting through the air timeless songs played GREAT atmosphere !! The hostess was very pleasant and kind and knowledgeable a true professional and sweetheart!! The restaurant is set up with two dining rooms and we sat in the second one . There is an open kitchen but you don’t notice it and it doesn’t t take away from the dining experience. Our server this night was CRISTAL and man oh man she was the absolute best! She was on point with EVERYTHING! This was our first time here so naturally there was a lot of questions and she had zero problem answering them ! This whole experience was AMAZING ! and she made it that much better ! So when yall go ask for her and say Candice sent yall !!! Now yall the absolute best part ...,,, the food!!’ I had the 5 course meal and my man had the fried red snapper! I had the red chili calamari it got the sauce on the side but either way you eat it it’s gonna be amazing! Next was the Cesar salad .... Fresh ass ohhh mah gawwdd ! Then I had the 20oz ribeye cooked medium and that was some of the most tenderest steak I have ever had ! I had a side of Brussel sprouts and that was a great life choice bc that balsamic glazeeee I think it’s made from scratch bc I was floored that flavor was top notch . Now we also ordered the mash potatoes but they ram out but no biggie Cristal told us the crab fried rice is a must so we got that instead..... BEST FRIED CRAB RICE I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE !!!!!! I didn’t even swallow my first bite before I snatched another spoon foul and fed my man and he had the same reaction I did !!! That rice came from the ancestors there’s no recipe you can follow to make that on your own that’s somebody’s great great great great grandmama recipe that she never wrote down and is passed down from generation to generation by one person and that one person is in that kitchen cooking that. Lawd have mercy !! Now for my finally dish I had the vanilla beignets let’s just say they made it in a doggie bag but they did not make it home . They were so fluffy like pillows on the inside but still had a nice crisp on the outside. This by far was my best and favorite dining experience! I cannot wait to come back which will be soon !
