Soho Bistro

Always amazing. Food is way above the average Chinese restaurant. Real Quality here! And the ladies who work there are super sweet and always so nice! Highly recommend this place!

Best Chinese you’ll find in Charlotte by far! Hands down my go to on certain nights. They deliver to uptown and very close ends of South End. Expect 1 hour delivery.

Used to be so much better. Ordered several meals for group lunch today. No flavor. Tasteless.

Pretty standard Chinese variety food, exactly what were were looking for. For being uptown the prices and portions were very reasonable. The service was incredibly fast, which I appreciate. They have lots of options on the menu so you really can find something you like, and the classics are of course great. Only gripe would be that the chicken was dark meat for breaded dishes so I’ll be sure to order a different meat for those in the future. Definitely will be back, and definitely will recommend.

Soho is my go-​to lunch spot at least once a week. The lovely sisters who own and run the place are friendly and charming. The service is fast and the menu has something for everyone at a very reasonable price.

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.

I tried it the first time I visited Charlotte because it was across from my hotel. Great service great food and lots of menu choices.
It was both family-​friendly and date family-​though not when my family is there!
Very good spot with great variety!

One of the best Chinese take-​out/​delivery spots I’ve found in Charlotte. Can’t speak to the dine-​in experience.
Like many Chinese restaurants, their spiciness scale could use some calibration – the food is never as spicy as I’d like.
However, the flavors and quality more than makes up for that. They are very speedy and the food is always cooked to perfection (no over-​cooked, mushy veggies like you’ll get at some places). The meat and produce is always good quality and I really like that they don’t drown their dishes in sauce.

Some of the best Chinese delivery/​takeout I’ve had in my 29 years of existence. Everything I’ve had was great and everyone that works there is super friendly. Totally worth the price. Most of the meals I’ve gotten lasted 3+ meals. Give it a shot!

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!

Looking for authentic Chinese food? If so, then you’ll want to take a pass on this place. I found the food to be bland and lacking in any kind of flavor – even the Szechuan dishes. The dumplings are doughy and heavy-​disappointing. I gave it two stars because the waitress was friendly and funny and the Jasmine tea was nice.

Summary: Always nice. Always fast. Always good. They stay open until 10 now.
Important for me: They have brown rice and don’t charge extra for it.
I’m impressed by how fast this place can be. I walked in on a weekend night and the place was packed. People were waiting for tables to empty. I just wanted some takeout. I was expecting a longer than normal wait. But no. Five minutes or so after walking in, I had a bag in my hand full of piping hot food and was walking back to the office.
I have limited options — for health reasons — on what I can order, so I should not be the last word on the menu in any place. So I have mainly stuck to some of the healthier items like Sa Cha chicken or the steamer plates. Even though it’s fast, it’s always good. (Side note: That level of consistency beats the hell out of just about any «fast-​food» restaurant I have ever been in.)

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

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

Excellent Chinese Restuant downtown 2 blocks from the Epicenter. I first ordered take out from here and it was so good I had to try dining in and yes it was even better.
We will be back.

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!

Great little spot with great food and pleasant atmosphere. Soho Bistro is definitely more of an elevated Chinese cuisine with Cantonese influence. Not quite exactly like the NY style Chinese food I grew up with, but it’s definitely a great place to eat and have never been disappointed.
Not only is the food reasonably priced for its higher quality, but the service here is excellent as well. The family who runs this place are friendly people who have always made me feel welcome when I’m there. If anyone hasn’t yet tried this place I would definitely recommend giving it a shot while in Uptown.

I had a hankering for an egg roll one day. Sometimes these things happen. If you don’t judge me, I won’t judge you. I poked around on my Unilocal App until I found a decent place near to where I was lurking that day. Soho Bistro has a rather fancy website that I found I couldn’t resist!
I ordered a few things, because you can’t just get egg rolls. What about when you are also craving crab rangoon? And, hey, look they’ve got honey walnut prawns on the menu. Seaweed salad? That sounds healthful, and I tend to like seaweed. Let’s do it!
— Egg rolls — straightforward. did the job.
— Crab rangoon — really really mushy and had. carrot in there? shredded carrot? I can’t say I liked it.
— Honey walnut prawns — No. They were fried and came in a thick brown sauce with vegetables. This is not what it’s supposed to look like. These were definitely NOT the droids I was looking for.
— Seaweed salad — Awesome, if a bit plain. I could have done without the pointless bed of shredded lettuce on the bottom. But the seaweed itself was awesome.
— Sauce — The sweet and sour sauce that generally comes with the fried goodies was really weird here. It was really dark red and syrupy, and did not taste very pleasant. I can’t recommend it.
Huge bonus points for
1. having a great website
2. having a menu on the website.
3. being able to order online.
4. having a REALLY awesome staff person answer the phone, answer questions, and even brought my food to the curb before I even slowed to a stop.
The place is definitely different, but I’m willing to give some of the other stuff a try. Being Chinese, I’m really picky about my Chinese food, and I’ve already rejected most of the other joints in the area.

I last reviewed Soho Bistro in mid-​2011, and last night my young daughter and I popped in there for dinner before a show. I thought I’d provide an updated review!
The place is still awesome. The atmosphere is still peaceful and quiet, and the wait staff efficient and polite.
We ordered four items off the menu: scallion pancakes, crab wontons, tangerine chicken and sesame shrimp. The scallion pancakes were just as good as they ever were. The crab wontons were a bit disappointing — we were expecting something closer to crab Rangoon (based on the description) but these are more grainy than creamy. The filling almost looked like cous cous or quinoa. Despite this, we ate all but two of them, so they were still good.
My tangerine chicken was OUTSTANDING. From first bite to last, it was delicious and is my new favorite thing. My daughter’s sesame shrimp was also delicious (she let me have a bite) although she thought it was a little too sweet.
Staff was quick to refill drinks throughout the meal, and our total bill for dinner was $ 38 — a relative bargain considering we had two appetizers, two entrees and multiple refills on my daughter’s soda.
I continue to recommend this place for good Chinese food at a great price. Can’t wait until my next event uptown so that I can dine here again!

Ordered some take out on Sunday night.
I would actually give this place 3.5 stars if it allowed me to.
I ordered the following:
Wonton noodle soup ³⁄₅
Chicken lo Mein ⁴⁄₅
Egg rolls ⁴⁄₅ good but small
Chicken with broccoli ²⁄₅ — this is usually my go to and I was pretty disappointed. Chicken and broccoli were cooked fine, but the sauce was very «pinkish/​orangish» vs the standard darker brown sauce in accustomed to. It just didn’t taste right. Idk how else to explain it.
I will give them another shot next time I want Chinese take out. It will ultimately let me know if I will continue to order from there, or if I need to start looking for a new takeout spot.
