Food: I would say average to above average Chinese food. The General Tso's chicken wasn't very spicy at all, and the sauce was fairly thin, which I like as opposed to thick and super sugary. I do prefer white meat and this was one of those entrees that seemed to be made of mainly thigh meat. Service: excellent. There was one lady working all by herself when we went and she was funny and attentive. Despite her being the only one, service was quick and she was friendly. I am honestly surprised that the place was not more busy than it was given its location. read more

Good visit. The food was good and hot. Server came back constantly to check on us. Tucked in the cut on College St very close to the arena. The establishment was clean. No complaints. Definitely will come back in the future. read more

My nephew and I were on the prowl for a quick bite to eat uptown and settled on Soho Bistro. It's a small, quaint restaurant across the street from Mert's. My nephew ordered the pan-seared pork dumplings appetizer for us, a dish we've tried several times elsewhere. I wasn't a fan because of their super thick breading, but my nephew enjoyed them. After trying the dumplings, I didn't have the highest hopes for my entree. To my delight, the sesame shrimp was delicious. My nephew ordered the spicy curry shrimp, a dish he's had several times before at other establishments. He described it as a scorching-hot, mouth-numbing spicy, so I took a bite. The bite initially seemed innocent enough, but as the flavors unfolded, a gradual heat began to build and the discomfort grew, reaching a point where it became difficult to focus on anything else. Cold water didn't help with that level of spice. We joked about how someone must've inadvertently poured an unruly amount of spicy seasoning into the dish, but didn't start over. Although the spiciness level was too high for normal consumption, the flavors were amazing. I'm sure the dish is excellent when it's served "very spicy" vs. what we received. On another note, every person we encountered while dining was upbeat and personable from the time we entered the establishment until the time we left. Kudos to the entire staff for their service. . read more

I've lived in Uptown for almost a year, this is my first time trying Soho Bistro...the woman at the front was nice but I will not be returning. The general tao chicken, crab wontons, rice, and spring rolls tasted flavorless and old: chicken was tough and dry; spring rolls slimy; crab wontons tasted almost spoiled; and the rice was riddled with crunchy overcooked pieces. After eating only a little bit I had to throw everything but the egg drop soup out, which was the only thing even a little bit edible. Looking at other reviews I don't know if I just got leftovers from lunch or it was just a bad night, but it was incredibly disappointing overall. read more

First of all I'd like to say that I have eaten in a vest number of Chinese restaurants throughout my 68 years on this earth. With that being said, I would like to say this: I was greeted by the nicest people you could imagine; it was my first time there and I felt like family! My waitress seated me by the window so I could look outside. I was then given spotless utensils wrapped in a beautiful, freshly laundered green cloth napkin and a clean lunch menu. The waitress theasked me if I would like something to drink; I told her water would be fine and she promptly brought my water and then gave me a few minutes to look over the menu. read more

So, I learned that due to yesterday's storm, we now have a water outage in my communitiy and figured, since there will be no cooking tonight, I'd pick up dinner from one of my pre-Covid go-to spots. So, Soho... I get that it's late in the day, I get that these may be leftover from the lunch rush, and I get that this is a take out order. What I don't get is how you would think it is fine to serve stale, dry, flaviorless, barely edible food to your customers. End of day, you are not saving money, you are losing loyal customers to all the many new businesses popping up all over Uptown Charlotte and the surrounding area. Tsk... read more

Food was good. We came for lunch so there were specials that ran between $9.25.$9.95 including choice of rice and a spring roll. I ordered the Kung Pao and the portion was pretty large, my recommendation to the restaurant is to cut down on the lunch portion size (saves you money) and add the drink to the lunch menu. If you like more "pow" with your King Pao then ask to have it made a little hotter. I forgot to ask so mine was very mild. Overall great food and great service. read more

Soho Bistro - Was passing by Charlotte right at lunch so decided to stop in uptown and try something unfamiliar. - Chinese Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I was greeted by a wonderful person at SoHo. I think her name was Yan. She was funny, personable, accommodating, and the food was delicious. If you like a different, twist to traditional Chinese food, then Soho is the place to go. Thank you for the outstanding service!! read more

Do yourself a favor when you are in Charlotte - go have lunch or dinner here. It is a fantastic gem tucked in the uptown area ( a little hard to find right now due to construction in the surrounding streets at the time of our visit) - entrance to restaurant is on N. College). We did street parking a block away and walked. They have a lunch menu that includes every favorite dish of mine so it made it hard to choose what to try. I love ahi tuna but many places don't truly season/sear it well so I feel that, for me, that's a great dish to try at a new place as a way of judging the food. Here, they do it right I had the ahi tuna salad appetizer. I also ordered house special fried rice - it was not only delicious, but the portion size was huge! Enough for at least two meals. We stopped in for lunch at 11:30 and we literally just beat their lunchtime rush, which filled nearly every table in the restaurant. But even with the lunchtime rush and crowd, this place is still pumping out delicious food efficiently so you can definitely get there for a noon lunch and be back at your desk in time for the afternoon work day! The service was fantastic every though they got busy with the lunch time crowd. Our drinks didn't run dry which is a big bonus star in my book. Give them a try - I bet you'll love it read more

Great food! Great experience. I stopped in for lunch. I was greeted by Yan. I was seated quickly and she took my order. My lunch can out quickly. Everything tasted great. Yan kept my drink glass full. She provided great service. I plan to eat lunch here regularly now read more

Had a wonderful experience at dinner last Night. I have been going here for over a Decade and the staff are the most wonderful people. Ms. Yan takes care of her customers and always happy to eat their food. The building is very rooted in Chinese tradition and culture. Always a Good time to go to Soho Bistro. read more

Horrible and rude owner! Looked pissed the moment we walked in. Started taking our orders, didn't write anything down, we tried to tell her again, he yells angrily "I KNOW" and that's all she kept saying to us whole time! Went to pay bill, again rude and kept saying "NEXT NEXT" VERY RUDELY! WOULD NOT RETURN HERE !!! read more

I tried Soho Bistro for the first time. It was the worst chicken and broccoli that I have ever had in my life. The chicken and the broccoli were undercooked. I also ordered a hot and sour soup. Also one of the worsts of my life. There was minimal tofu and veggies in there. It was primarily just water. read more

After checking in to our hotel across the street we wandered over to Soho House for a bite to eat. I noticed they had a beef noodle soup which is one of my favorite things ever at the Mandarin Deli back home. There was also a Hong Kong Beef Noodle soup which apparently had a beef that was marinated but we were also told it was less tender. We both ordered the regular beef noodle soup - one with egg noodles and one with rice noodles and then an egg roll for each of us. While we waited we were brought a plate of won ton chips which neither of us had had in a long time. They were served with a sweet and sour sauce. Shortly after that our egg rolls came out, hot and crispy. The soup came out about 5 minutes later. It was not what I was expecting but it was good. The beef noodle soups I am used to are pretty simple - beef, thick noodles and an insanely flavorful broth. This had a good amount of beef, thin noodles and a lot of veggies - broccoli, carrot, snow peas, zucchini and green onion... might have had some sprouts too. All stuff we like so it hit the spot. The oddest part of the meal were the fortune cookies which are apparently sponsored by a Manscaping company. The "fortunes" are definitely geared toward men. I thought it was a weird choice. Where are my lucky numbers?? read more

Dropped in for dinner. The place was empty but business picked up through the night. We were quickly seated and drink orders were taken. My family ordered the Cantonese Rice Noodles, a side of Broccoli in Garlic sauce, Hot and Sour soup and Mongolian Beef. We had others in the group and I didn't get the names of all their dishes but no one had complaints about their food choice. I sampled the beef in the Mongolian Beef and it was good. My side of Broccoli with Garlic Sauce had great crunch so it was steamed well. The Cantonese Noddles weren't spicy at all even though the menu indicates it is spicy. The restaurant isn't very big but was able to seat my large party of 9. We were seated close to the kitchen and every time the door opened we got a big fish of air. Our server also let us know that if you park in the Hearst Tower deck they validate for free. Also the physical address on Yelp states that the restaurant is on N. Tyron while the door is on College street. My friends Uber dropped them off on N. Tryon and they had to walk to the restaurant.

Quick, convenient Chinese food in the heart of downtown Charlotte at a reasonable price. Yelpers give this place a 3.5 star rating and that is about right on the money. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon after having a craving for some Chinese food. The inside lighting is a bit dim, but we were seated quickly and the service was prompt. They have a lunch menu with a variety of options, with most entrees under $10. We ended up going with the General Tao Chicken and Chicken Lo Mein. Each entree was pretty good and we were able to take some leftovers home to have for later. Overall, this place serves up the traditional Chinese favorites just as expected and at a reasonable price. If you're looking for quick, sit down meal or a convenient take-out option this place is worth checking out. read more

I placed a take-out order for steamed shrimp and mixed veg, which their online ordering system listed at $8.50. When I picked it up, however, I was charged almost $13. I was in a hurry, so didn't argue it, but I find this sort of pricing inaccuracy unacceptable. That aside, I thought the food on par with other Chinese take-out restaurants, though the serving size was a tad on the small side. read more

We stopped here on the way to a show (we were running late) and the food was wonderful. Fresh and flavorful. The staff were all attentive and friendly. I'll definitely go back again. read more

Very fast service. Easy online ordering. Good quantity for price. Solid to go containers.

My boyfriend and I came here because our room was not ready at the Holiday Inn across the street so we decided to stop by to get something to eat after our two hour long trip from Raleigh. This place actually blew me away! the food was very fresh and our server was excellent. She got us our water right away and she also checked in periodically to make sure that we were OK. we had the crab wontons but we ate it so fast that we never got a chance to take a picture but the crispy golden shrimp was amazing and that sauce, I forgot the name, was delicious and we made sure we took the leftovers to go along with that sauce. For anyone that is visiting Charlotte and needs to grab a bite I definitely recommend this place I never had such great service in a while so this will definitely be my go to the next time I visit! read more

We have been going here before attending plays at Blumenthal for many years, and it's still excellent. We love the sisters and the food!

Came here on a whim for lunch with a friend for her birthday. We went at 12:00 and were immediately seated. I was surprised they weren't busier!! I wanted something healthy. I told the waiter chicken and veggies grilled or steamed. He brought me the chicken and veggie steamer with the sauce on the side. My friend went with the chicken and broccoli . My steamer plate was so delicious and healthy. I was excited because I wasn't expecting it at all . The lunch menu prices are really reasonable and the service is quick! read more

This was easily the worst Chinese food I have ever had. I've had better at a mall food court/Chinese Buffett than here. The food came out quite literally less than 3 minutes after I got my water and ordered and almost every piece of chicken was inedible. Rock hard and tasted stale. Food had no flavor and tasted like it came out of a garbage can. I will gladly never come here again. In my experience, it was awful. read more

The staff was friendly, however, the food was the nastiest-tasting Chinese food I have ever had. The food had no flavor or good seasonings. Even the egg rolls were very bland. I was shocked on how bad the food was. I ended up throwing it Inn the trash. I normally don't do many reviews but I had to share this. Don't waste your money eating here. read more

Great food and service. Try the Pineapple Fried Rice and Ma Po Tofu and treat your taste buds! Highly recommend!

This is my go-to place when I'm in town. The staff is friendly and the food is really good. Highly recommend!

So I never ate at Soho Bistro prior. However, my coworker suggested food for staff (this was the pick), and I just went with it because I really wanted wonton soup. My other coworker warned us and told us to not order there. Unfortunately, we did not listen. Needless to say, he was completely right. This was the wonton noodle soup that I ate straight from the container. I found a short piece of black hair in it. I can't even say how disgusted I am because I ate half of it while not paying attention. So who knows if I ate hair before discovering this one? The taste of the soup in total was lacking, but it was not bad enough to write a review about it. I was just going to carry on with my life. The piece of hair is what made me want to write this review. I am sorry, but please make sure your food is being prepared and checked as food should be. read more

If you are looking for Chinese food, this is not the place. It's an absolute American-Chinese food place. Like it's too far away from the real Chinese food. Went there during lunch time and got the lunch special Hunan beef with brown rice. Waited about 20 min for a take out. Portion was okay. Taste was just not satisfying, personally. read more

In town over Labor Day weekend for a concert with my best friend, and after a bad experience elsewhere we were starving and ducked in here for lunch. Very quiet, quaint setting. We were greeted enthusiastically and seated immediately. Any questions about the menu we had were answered. I ordered spicy black pepper steak, and my friend ordered hunan chicken. We were served quickly and both dishes were excellent. Our waitress was phenomenal and checked on us often, and the manager/owner (I'm not sure) even came over and chatted with us about the concert we were seeing that night. Everyone was very personable, and the prices were extremely reasonable for uptown Charlotte. Overall very enjoyable lunch visit, and I'd definitely stop in again if I find myself back in Charlotte. read more
