    Recommend anything outside of the butter chicken. Very bland...
    Taylor B.

    Food isn't even that bad, and it's conveniently located in downtown DC around a lot of offices. The convenience comes with a price of overpriced food and a woman watching you to make sure you pay for everything. They really care about money, less about customer service and that's extremely apparent. Certain dishes are better than others, and the overall quality isn't amazing. If you can go elsewhere, I would.

    Broccoli beef  Orange chicken  Fried rice Low mein Butter chicken  White rice

    Excellent food and variable Asian choices. Great location and a lot of space for both take away and dine in Great stuff Great customer care Fresh Taste of food

    My Kup 3 protein bowl.

    The buffet offers a good variety, but can be a bit pricey and the flavors aren't out of this world. The star of the place is the My Kup stall in the back which offers generous and fresh portions of Korean-ish dishes. I tried their 3 proteins bowl - shrimp, grilled chicken, and bulgogi- with fried rice and a ton of veggies and kimchi. They include a couple of fried veggie mandu (dumplings) with each order. The sauces included were really good. The server took great care to put together my bowl. My order was delicious and I was happily surprised with the generous portion for the affordable price. There's plenty of seating in the restaurant.

    Amazing buffet with a huge selection and delicious offerings! I only planned on checking them out today, but I couldn't resist and ended up getting several items from the hot bar! The bourbon chicken and orange chicken were great! They also make sandwiches to order. They have plenty of seating, which is nice. It's located right off of Franklin Park. I definitely recommend them for lunch!

    The food is was good but i was a bit cold but everything had decent flavor and the service was decent and they had a wide selection overall it is pretty mid and it was expensive

    French toast, fruit, sausage, bacon, plantains, home fries, tater tots, chicken wing, etc.

    I'm surprised that this place has such low reviews. I had walked by it a few times before finally deciding to stop in for the breakfast buffet. The place looked super clean. The checkout line moved quickly. And the food itself was of decent quality (with both healthy and not-so-healthy options). I'd recommend most everything you see pictures on my plate EXCEPT the home fries, which were slightly undercooked and this mushy inside. But for $11 or so, I was pleased with my meal overall. I also found myself wishing that an outpost like this would open in the renovating Walter Reed site. I like being able to go into one place that offers a variety of food options, at a decent price, and at grab-and-go speeds.

    Options galore. Salad, yum.

    Great quick spot for lunch in downtown, just below the Washington Post. Lots of islands and options for food, whether you like salads, fresh fruit, prepared cold or hot dishes, meat or veggies, deli sandwiches, sushi, or Mongolian grill. They've got it all here. Pick what you want and bring it up to one of the pay stations to be weighed. Best part is you can get a big, tasty, filling lunch for under $10.

    Four orange chicken nuggets and one scoop of rice- $4.20.
    Austin G.

    Soho is your utility player lunch spot. It has a hot food bar. It has a salad bar. It has a sushi bar and a sandwich shop. It sells every kind of soda, water, and organic iced tea. It even sells lightly sweetened Korean rice rollers. It has everything you'd ever want and centrally located in the heart of downtown DC. Despite having it all, the price tags just don't make this a good lunch option. The bar food they weigh and charge you by the weight. I got one scoop of fried rice and four little orange chicken chunks and it was $5! If you're in a rush and this is the quickest lunch spot, come right in. However, if you want to save some money I recommend heading to nearby G Street Foods or Buredo.

    On-the-spot Mongolian wok. $10.99 for as much as you can pile onto the bowl!

    The food is hit and miss. They do have an insane selection. The only problem, and it's not a small problem, is that it is very overpriced.

    I tried to stop in for lunch around 11:50 am today (5/24/2017) and there were signs up saying that they were temporarily closed. All the food was out but no one was around. What was the reasoning behind the closure?

    Hi, Christy. Soho closed down for 48 hours due to violating DC health code, but they are back in business starting today. Hope this helps!

    I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event…read moreand both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable.
