Soho Bistro
Wallace S.

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.

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...

Was passing by Charlotte right at lunch so decided to stop in uptown and try something unfamiliar.

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.

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

Beef noodle soup
Rachel F.

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??

The food was amazing! And the workers was hilarious I loved it there and definitely will be back . The vibe and setting was very beautiful and the food came out at a very decent time.

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.

Menu

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.

The Food- The Ambience-…read more The Service- I visited this place from out of town and the food was so dang good, I almost ordered a second helping of the eggplant dish just to bring back to Va. I didn't even get a picture of it because I was in a trance. I also had the braised beef noodle soup (pictured), top tier please visit this place. I'm plotting my next outing JUST to go here. I am a foodie at heart. My friend had the Ma-La Dried Peppers Chicken, that was also incredible. Everything has sooooo much flavor. The eggplant was hands down the best I've ever had in my life. Go on their website, the food looks just like the pictures in real life. It's also super clean inside. Just go, you won't be disappointed !

This review is for Sun's Kitchen, tucked down near LoSo/Lower South End, and let me tell you --…read morethese dan dan noodles absolutely hit the spot. I was in one of those "I need noodles immediately" moods, and Sun's Kitchen did not disappoint. I called my order in for takeout, and everything was packed perfectly. No leaks, no mess, still hot when I got home, and the portion was surprisingly generous for the price. The dan dan noodles here are rich, savory, a little spicy, and incredibly comforting. If you're not familiar with them, dan dan noodles are a classic Sichuan street food dish from Chengdu traditionally tossed in a spicy, numbing ma-la sauce with pork, scallions, and pickled vegetables. Sun's Kitchen does a really delicious version that's flavorful without feeling too heavy. The noodles have that perfect chewy texture, and every bite has just enough heat to keep you going back for more. If you're someone who's curious about ethnic food but maybe unsure where to start, this is honestly a great entry-level dish. Yes, there's a little spice, but it's approachable and balanced. The dining room itself is modern and beautiful, and now that they serve beer and wine, I definitely need to come back and enjoy a full dine-in experience instead of rushing home with takeout. The only caveat is the parking lot can get a little chaotic since it's shared with neighboring businesses, especially during busy hours. But trust me, it's worth circling for a spot. Charlotte, there's a big wide world of food out there, and places like Sun's Kitchen make exploring it easy and delicious. Get out there and eat your way through it.

It was pushing 97 degrees outside, and after a long afternoon of computer work and errands, I finally stopped in for the crispy scallion chicken and pan-fried dumplings. Huge portions. Fair prices. Friendly people. Consistently solid food every single time. The best part today honestly might have been the air conditioning. They've got a cool, comfortable space to wait while your order is prepared, which felt amazing after baking outside all day. I forgot to take food photos because I was hungry and ready to get home, but trust me, they pack these takeout containers like a game of Jenga. Nothing spills. Nothing shifts. Everything is packed tight and thoughtfully. Only tiny downside: the dumpling sauce goes into the same container as the hot dumplings, so by the time I got home, it had softened the bottom a bit. Still, the dumpling wrappers are thick and crispy enough to survive the trip. Into the air fryer later they go. One warning: the parking lot can be chaotic since it sits right off busy Providence Road. Just be patient. Cars are constantly pulling in, backing out, blocking entrances, and today people were absolutely treating red lights like suggestions. Saw it multiple times, including a bus cutting across traffic when I had the right-of-way. Charlotte drivers... please relax a little. That said, the food made the trip worth it. Taipei Express is one of those dependable local spots that always comes through when you need a solid meal without spending a fortune. Life is too short to not eat well. Get out there and eat your way through Charlotte.

It is busy enough that plenty of other people had also called in for takeout. The price was higher than I thought it would be by a significant margin; I thought something was off but then rechecking their menu I saw it was indeed $20 for a vegetable entree. On the upside, they did offer brown rice at no extra charge. Still, I'll get three meals out of it and as someone who eats a lot of takeout, this was not a great value. In terms of quality, I was thrilled to find that they offered a stir-fried okra dish. This is a ubiquitous Indian dish, and of course okra is common throughout the tropics globally, but I'd never seen this offered at a Chinese restaurant before. And the rapid cooking technique typical of the cuisine produced a delightfully crisp vegetable, which went great with a black bean sauce and some very hot dried chilis. On the other hand, their interpretation of ma po tofu had some fermented broad beans but minimal vegetables (sometimes you get mushrooms or peas or at least some leeks or something) and no numbing sensation. They had a bean curd roll dish that I enjoyed, and some quality dumplings. Overall, not huge portions and a mix of okay to great quality.
