The first time I ate here was on a Sunday evening around 7pm. The food was terrible--chicken tasted like leftover bits from the week before and diced to be almost the size of grains of rice. Everything was bland and coated in too much corn starch, and I thought I would never eat here again; however, my opinion of the place has greatly changed in the last week. I decided to give this place another shot, to be fair. My second order was Monday at noon. Take out was ready in 10 minutes. Chicken in the eggplant special was overcooked, but flavor was great and you could tell everything was fresh and handmade. I've eaten here several (12) times since then, and it is my new favorite lunch spot. If you want authentic Chinese that reminds you of the homeland, this isn't it; however, it is good for what it is. Pros: -Fast -Flavor is good and distinctive between dishes -No food poisoning or emergency bathroom trips -Brown rice or fried rice offered as sides with no upcharge -Can order online without requiring credit card payment -Lunch specials come with spring rolls -Can customize any dish without complaints--add veggies, change sauce, you name it! No upcharge for substitutions -Portions large for the price. -Everything on lunch menu under $8 -Everything is homemade--even wontons in wonton soup use whole wheat flour! -Restaurant looks clean -Food not swimming in grease, fried items are nicely fried -Everybody knows your name (well, kind of--the two sister owners have incredible memory) Cons: -American-style Chinese food, so there is sometimes scary red food coloring in your food -Dumplings, while homemade, have no filling. Filling is awesome and tasty if you get some, but I just got dough. -Meat is cooked inconsistently--sometimes I get dishes right on the verge of being cooked; other times it's overcooked. Shrimp and veggies are always perfect (yeah, I don't get it either). -Weekday lunch chef A+++; other chefs not so good. Moral of the story? Go here for a quick, tasty, sometimes healthier alternative to the Epicenter at lunch. Stay away at dinner. read more

Food was light and great mix. I have tried sesame chicken in many places. The sauce here was not over powering and very tasteful. The chicken low mien had a great mix of vegetables. We will be back. read more

Food is awesome, service sucks. They kept trying to make us pay and rush us out before we even paid, which killed the whole experience. We came in around 7, they don't close til 10. We bought a lot of food, we tipped well, there was no reason for any of this. Won't be back. read more

Ew. Ordered a Mongolian beef. All I got was almost 2 lbs of sautéed onions on a greasy saúde which was completely different from the Mongolian beef you can find anywhere else. That came with perhaps 5 small pieces of beef. My dish either has a wrong description online, the chef or I don't have a good understanding of what's a Mongolian beef. Reminding my understanding was based on previous experiences from different places ordering the same dish... In addition the recipe as well the website dish's description called for scallions which I didn't receive a single one. A complete disappointment. Would never order from it again. read more

Usually recieve great service for delivery and my go to place for asian cuisne. This time the fried rice we ordered with our sesame chicken was a bit off. It tasted very old and had a funny smell. I called to request some brown rice instead. Poor customer service from the lady. She insisted that there was not a delivery to the address and was arguing with me about it. Will not be ordering from here again. All I wanted was some decent tasting rice to go with my sesame chicken. read more

This has been my go-to spot for the last 10 years! The food and service are always consistent and I love the quick and easy online order option as well as the ambiance when dining in. My favorite dishes are the crab wontons, teriyaki chicken, pineapple chicken fried rice, vegetable fried rice, sesame chicken or the sauteed mixed vegetables when I feel like walking on the vegetarian side. They're great for lunch or dinner and the owners (which are twins) are always so personable! read more

This place is awesome. Coming from NY where I've been spoiled with great chinese food, SoHo Bistro is the best that I've found in charlotte. Their prices are very reasonable too. The servers are sweet and great. We came in with a party of 13 and the waitress memorized everyone's orders (and drinks). I was quite surprised when everything came back perfect. I would definitely recommend trying this place! read more

Great Chinese in uptown that actually stays open on the weekends! The women who own and manage Soho are very pleasant and welcoming. They recognize regulars and make you feel special. Tip: online ordering available. I have been to Soho for both work lunches and weekend takeout. I have never had a bad experience. The portions are large and the prices are fair. I usually go with the Kung Pao chicken or Mongolian beef; classic Americanized recipes. I appreciate the plentiful amount of peanuts they use in the Kung Pao. They are experts at the lunch rush hour - I can be seated, served, and billed all around 30 minutes. You can tell they have been doing this a while. Keep it up! read more

Seeing that I'm Asian and originally from NYC, I know what "authentic Asian food is". The food by best is subpar and barely mediocre. The lady at the front desk is absolutely RUDE RUDE RUDE RUDE. Disgusting phone etiquette and completely APPALLING. Not only that ? I asked for $2 more extra meat. Does 5 slices of beef equal $2 ON TOP of what I originally ordered ? NO. I also asked the rude lady for a side of sriracha, but she purposely gave me hot chili oil. I rarely ever write such negative reviews, but the quality, quantity and disgusting attitude makes me NEVER want to return. They lost out on catering opportunity for my team at B of A as well. So sad. read more

I give this place 5 stars for the extraordinary service. They make repeat customers feel like cherished friends. The sesame tofu is the best I've had in Charlotte. Breaded and super crispy... Yum! read more

While the food is tasty, service is fast, the person at the counter is a THIEF!! I went there with my friend & both ordered dishes worth 7.25 each. They don't ask if you need separate checks & usually get the check within few mins after lunch arrives. Final bill was 7.25+7.25+1.20(tax) = 15.7 We asked to split the check between 2 cards & guess what.. Our bills were 8.19 each. This is the second time this happened & I would suggest anyone going there watch their bill especially while splitting checks. I went there today after around 2 years.. & same person at the counter, doing the same thing again. I just paid & walked away & I don't plan on going there again! read more

When I use to work in Uptown Charlotte, I would typically eat here almost once a week. It is rather small restaurant, and always has a line around Noon, but it's worth checking out. Typically, I order the Tangerine Chicken with white rice and egg roll (substitute from spring roll); the wait time varies 5-10 minutes from order to table. The portions are good compared to price and I never had any issues. There is outside seating available, but its on the street and it can be pretty loud. Overall, worth checking out if in the area and have a hankering for good Chinese food; if you go during the Lunch rush, try to go early or late. read more

Absolutely amazing food! Some of the best I have had in Charlotte. Chicken and beef dumplings meet expectations as I have had different styles of dumplings all over the world. The dumplings Soho Bistro make are delicious. The only recommendation I can provide is... use regular soy sauce. The soy sauce provided with the dumplings isn't very good. Almost has a vinegar taste. All of the entrees that I have had the chance to eat are superb! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

A solid place for some good American Chinese food! I came here for lunch and was quite happy with my Sha Cha Beef & Shrimp!

The service was good and the food came out very soon after we ordered. The menu is extensive and has many different options of Thai and Chinese dishes. The menu offers anything from soup to noodle dishes to stir fry. I ordered their spicy soup with shrimp and it was very good and actually spicy and had a lot of veggies in it. The restaurant itself is but small but went during the week and it wasn't crowded at all! I would definitely eat here again and it's very close to the arena! read more

I've been going to this place for a few years now, and every time I go it loses another star and another chance. It used to be the best place to get Chinese food but recently it has gotten really gross. Today was the last straw. I got the Steamed Chicken Dumplings and a order of Edamame to go. The dumplings had no taste other than salt, the dough was so think and chewy I didn't eat my last two. The worst part were the soy beans. Half of them rotten, no salt, no seasonings, just plan nasty and I tossed about half of the order. Come on guys I know you can do better! read more

In the past, I LOVED Soho Bistro.. unfortunately, I got sick recently from eating there, and my boyfriend did too, the same night. I decided that it was probably unrelated, so I ordered again. When I got the food it was cold and I was so disappointed. They used to be my go-to! If you're looking to drop a few pounds from being so sick that you can't keep anything in your stomach, then this might be the perfect place for you! Otherwise, I don't think I'll order from there again. read more

I ordered several items for take out. I very rarely have American Chinese cuisine, and I was pleasantly surprised - food was overall pretty tasty. The kitchen was also really fast in making the food after I ordered. I would recommend if you want quick service. My one complaint is that their fortune cookies do not taste good... read more

I've tried lots of Asian restaurants and this one is by far the best one. Every time I have to go in the office is where I go for lunch. Prices are very good too. read more

First for the price and portions downtown I don't know if you'll find better value. All the ingredients are fresh. Service was fantastic. The dumpling sauce is tasty! Would reccomend. read more

I stumbled upon this place one day. The food was really great and fast. The setting was cozy. everything from the lighting to waitstaff made for an enjoyable meal. In the busy Uptown area, it's nice to know I can grab a quick lunch that I know will be great. Everything on the lunch menu is in the $5-$7 dollar range so, it won't hurt the wallet either! The location right next to Time Warner Cable makes Soho a great stop after a Bobcats game! read more

I'd say this is one of the more consistent lunch places in uptown. I usually get the dynasty noodles with a side hot sauce and the food always comes out pretty quickly. I guess they've got to keep the food moving since there's always a crowd during lunch hour. I wouldn't say that it's the best Chinese food I've ever had, but it definitely is one of the best Chinese places in Charlotte. read more

I just called our delivery order in after ringing MANY local establishments that do not deliver. Their customer service is friendly and quick read more

Price on the menu is not what they charge. Never give u the actual receipt. When asked they said the owners change the price. In reality they are owners but don't admit. If they screw up then also they don't admit or even say sorry. No next time. read more

Varied menu from what you usually encounter in an Asian diner. Food was good and portions were the right size.

Finally a place I can find good Chinese food. I've been looking for a consistently decent Chinese joint in Charlotte and I believe I have found it. I ordered the shrimp and broccoli w/white rice to-go and it was great. Better than other places around the area read more

Went here for my One of my Anniversary meals and we loved it. They let us sample wines before we bought a bottle. The restaurant staff was really friendly and made you feel like you've been here several times. They really love to conversation and get to know you. The food was pretty good for Asian cuisine in the south. I'm form the north and I'm very particular about my Asian cuisine. I recommend the Tower platter and the calamari for Apps. I chose to have the General Tao as an entree which was fresh and had a lot of flavor. It was basically a premium version of General Tso that you would get from any neighborhood Chinese restaurant. I would def come again when I'm in Charlotte. read more

The name doesn't sound like a Chinese restaurant, but it is. It is located in the heart of downtown Charlotte and is open for lunch and dinner every day. Cloth napkins, relaxed quiet atmosphere, excellent food well presented and outstanding attentive service. Lunch menu in the $8 range. We've eaten in a lot of Chinese restaurants; this is our all time favorite. http://www.uptown2go.com/sohobistro/default.aspx read more

Good Chinese food, not great but, very good by Charlotte options. In a big city it would just be a decent place, but with limited options in Charlotte, it is very good. read more

Very impressed with certain items like the ' Sauteed Bean Sprouts w/ Ginger'. Could not believe that Bean sprouts could taste that good. Also liked the Buddha Roll and the Asian Summer Roll. Brocolli With Garlic Sauce was not that great and neither was Thai Curry Tofu. Veggie Lo mein was good too. My ratings Guide * Stay Away ** Eat if you are hungry and can't find anything *** It's alright, you'll get your money's worth **** Must try ***** Beyond this world. Don't miss it. read more

This is a great spot. I've been going here for years. The staff there has treated me like family since day one. Every time I go in they call me by name and make me feel special. The food is fantastic too! Go check out this spot. read more

This may be the best Asian food in Charlotte. It is not exotic or pretentious, but it is really good food in a nice atmosphere. The vegetable dishes are extraordinarily well done, and they will make or adjust things to order if you ask. My vegetarian friends like this better than any other restaurant uptown. Also, the prices are very reasonable for a business lunch uptown, and it is a good place to talk. Service has been fast each of the five or six times I have been. All round, a great place. read more

This is what an authentic Chinese restaurant is. I discovered this bistro in Uptown on a walk back in 2013, not a week after I got food poisoning from another Chinese restaurant two blocks away from this location. The price is extremely reasonable, the food is excellent and the customer service is top-notch, with a beautiful touch of Chinese characteristics. read more

The lady who answered the phone, has a Nasty attitude!!!! Seriously, why would I spend money to get mistreated? Friday night, I ordered food for me and my business partners, after a long day of training for business and a VERY full day ahead of us, we just wanted to have food delivered to us at the hotel, then go to bed. I ordered my food at 8:05 pm, the receptionist quoted that our food would be delivered in 30 minutes...it took a hour and 45 minutes!!!! After waiting a hour, I called to check on the status of our delivery, the receptionist told me, "it hasn't been a hour!", I was flabbergast! Why would she lie to me? What happened to good customer service?! I told her, "Ma'am, I'm looking at my call times, it's now 9:05." She replied, "well your food's on the way!". I said, "Is it en route or are you just saying that?"....THEN...THE LADY HUNG UP ON ME!!! WHAT??!!!! If it was just my food, I would have cancelled the order! When the delivery guy came, I snapped and made clear that I would write a scathing review, b/c the receptionist is HORRIBLE! I concluded it was unfair to project on him, my frustrations for his sorry co-worker(his name is Gaston and he was VERY nice actually); I tipped him and sent him on his way! The food was good, too bad morally, I cannot bare to patronize this place again...because phone girl is a heffer! :-) read more

Yummy! They have a great dish called tangerine chicken - it is so good. Their scallion pancakes are great also. If you plan on coming here during lunch arrive early - this place gets crowded and has a wait. Dinner time it isnt so bad and you can usually score a table pretty quickly. It is good chinese food and not too bad on the wallet! read more

Excellent Chinese and modern quiet atmosphere. The service was excellent as well, thanks to Yan. Strongly recommend the Soho Platter.

Some of the best tofu I've found in Charlotte. Absolutely amazing! The service is pretty good too, I'm definitely a fan of it.

I have never had better Chinese food. The food was fresh and no hint of MSG. The location is fantastic and centrally located to everything. It is small and intimate and they even offer vegetarian meals. I had the Lo Mein and it was so delicious. They offer drinks as well including beer and wine. The staff there is so friendly and the wait for our meal was minimal. The food was so delicious I've gone back again and again introducing it to friends and they love it as much as I do. read more

I had carryout. Very quick but kinda confusing to find the place. I was expecting good things because the reviews seem to rave about this place but honestly I was really disappointed. The food is mediocre, I have had WAY better and I can't say that anything I had was really that great. I'll be looking for a different chinese place to eat at. read more

I have had Chinese food in a bunch of different cities, including NYC and San Francisco to name a few. So far I have not found a good Chinese food place here in Charlotte. If you go to Soho for pick up don't follow their address to the T because it is actually on the other side of the building next to Fuel Pizza. Call ahead when you are about 5 minutes away and they will come outside to deliver your food. As far as the food goes, the dumplings are a little too doughy but the sauce is quite good. I would not recommend the spring rolls they are kinda bland. I am not going to X this place out just yet I may give it another shot. Still looking for a good Chinese Food place here in Charlotte wish me luck! read more
