Thought we'd stop in and try the place since Chef Ramsey had been here. The place is beautifully decorated and the food looks amazing when it comes out. The taste was pretty good, however, it took over thirty minutes to get our food not to mention, they weren't serving any beer and didn't have any wings that were on the menu but they didn't have any to serve. We ordered rice to go and it took another thirty minutes to get that order. Again, what we ate was good, but timely.

Stopped in for a quick bite and ended up staying for a full meal. Food was great and service was responsive. Wish they were open weekends.

It took 45 to get our appetizer. Watched tables walk out cause no one was serving them

The Sobo after the makeover is pretty inside. The menu is very limited unless you're there for sushi. I had the grilled flank steak. It was cooked like I ordered and it tasted great. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich. It was a little overly saucy but had a great flavor. The menu items all have an Asian flare. We'll have to come back to check out their sushi.

With a name like SoBo I was skeptical and the strip club vibe did not help.... Service was great and the food was pretty good. Would eat there again

Sunflower Sushi and Flank SteakBoth were very good. Menu is very limited unless choosing sushi.

I took my wife and two sons (one infant, one 5 years old). The host was really friendly and inviting, even let us sit down a couple minutes before opening. The server Ashley was great also, even helped confirm my food choice. I really hope this place does well and stays open. I do think it was a bit pricey, but the food was amazing so I sorta understand it. Also there is not changing table in the restrooms. The food seemed to take a long time to get out to us and we ended up taking it to go, that is probably because we showed up right at opening. The place is gorgeous, the people are friendly, and the food tastes amazing. spent $37 and that included a $5 tip to the server. overall I would go back again in a heartbeat but may call my order in ahead of time to give myself more time to sit and eat.

My Mom, sister, and I got reservations the night they reopened after the remodel and menu update and oh. My God. The food is hands down the best, they only have 7 items on the menu, but all of them are unique and fabulous! My Mom got the pulled pork sandwich with fries. My sister got the grilled flank steak, and I got the soy marinated chicken with kimchi fried rice. We ordered the black sesame donuts with chocolate as well, and every single bit was amazing. The kimchi fried rice had seaweed in it, which makes an unbelievable difference, and it was divine! Definitely going back, and taking all my friends!

Decided to stop by since chef Ramsays visit and though the inside looks wonderful the food was not impressive. The price points were high for the quality and portion size. My grilled calamari appetizer had one slice of calamari and my pulled pork sandwich came out on a bun so soggy I couldn't pick it up. They replaced the sandwich but it was the same scenario. Overall I'm disappointed because I truly wanted it to be better than that!

Great food, personable wait staff, drinks ran empty, looking forward to expanded menu
This was our first time dining at South Boulevard Restaurant in Maumelle, Arkansas. We both decided to sample their Bulgogi. When I was in the Army I was stationed at Camp Casey, 2nd Infantry Division just north of Seoul, South Korea. At least once a week there I would eat Bulgogi at the Officer's Club. Tonight's Bulgogi at SoBo was hands down the best that I have eaten outside of Korea. Friendly staff. Excellent service. Reasonable prices. Highly recommended. Give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed

Our first time at SoBo; we had a wonderful experience. We were looking for something different to try for my little one's 4th birthday. The food and waitstaff were great. My 4 year old veered from his standard choice of chicken/kid's menu and ordered an appetizer- catfish sliders with Asian slaw held/on the side. He ate everything! While we were waiting on our entrees the owner brought samples of the Bulgogi, which had an excellent flavor and was tender and moist - we decided to then order it an an extra entree to "table share". The chicken was good as was the cheeseburger. I had sushi: "Red Dragon Roll" which was outstanding. I eat sushi often and this roll was ginormous and very fresh. The owner and staff were very charismatic and were kind enough to bring out a cake/candles that we brought and sing Happy Birthday. We live in WLR and it was an easy/quick drive.

It's a sushi restaurant now, which is fine, we just didn't know. The sushi was excellent. There are only 3 entrees on the menu, all were decently tasty. There was no one in there on a Saturday night but that will probably change once the episode airs. Overall pretty decent

They are in the process of revamping their menu so only had three entrees to choose from which was fine because I was in the rare mood for steak and a grilled flank steak was on the menu for $18. I ordered medium rare and it was absolutely perfect in color and flavor. I liked that it came out sliced and easy to eat. The little sides were tasty, interesting, fresh and not starchy. I really appreciated there was no oily dressing drenching them. I'm not into food presentation but this did catch my eye with all of the colors. I left feeling full and not overstuffed. I really enjoyed my experience very much. They will be a five star with a larger selection on the menu.

Finally tried the new restaurant and loved it! Chicken and waffles was fabulous! Staff were all very friendly. Really nice place, hope it does well for Maumelle
