Five stars are not enough! If you’re looking for a place where food excellence and outstanding service come together, this is it! My girlfriend and I decided to visit after we admired the beautiful setting a month ago. Fast forward to today, and we finally got to experience the food.
The teamwork at this restaurant is a well-orchestrated effort. We were greeted and seated promptly, and our drinks were ready in no time. I had the Numi Tea, while my date ordered the Thai Tea. Although the tea was wonderful, it was just a prelude to the amazing meal that followed.
I ordered Miang Kum with tofu substituted for shrimp, but I can’t imagine it could have been any more flavorful. We sat there, amazed, trying to savor every bite. We’re already looking forward to coming back for the Chicken Satay, Choo Chee Salmon, Gai Gra Prow, and Coconut Rice!
Delicious food. Comfortable atmosphere. Friendly staff.
Delicious, vibrant and balanced food, qith very polite and prompt service, in a calm and pleasant atmosphere. We had a lovely lunch!
We enjoyed our time at Soi.
Initially we had an ' unfriendly' server but she moved on and things improved!
The food was tasty.
We noticed after we left additional charges on our bill .. related to who knows...
Bill, + tax + service charge +?
We spent over $100 in our 2 hours for 2 people.
I love this place, but they keep letting weird service moments spoil the meal. I’m respectfully sharing my feedback because I think they just need some tweaks. With delivery (twice), they’ve either sent the wrong item or left out things like the protein (happened today and I can’t get a refund). Last time I dined there two weeks ago, my server was busy but brought every single item slightly different than I ordered and brought the salad at the very end of the meal. The food is great and the aesthetic is so cute in the best neighborhood, but they need to tighten up a little.
Had a lovely dinner at Thai restaurant Soi 4.
We started with their Kirimaya cocktail (Knob Creek, orange bitters & lemongrass syrup).
For appetizers we had baked green mussels, mustard leaf rolls, and a cucumber salad.
For main courses, the shrimp & eggplant stir fry, and the pan-roasted sole with mango, ginger and fried brussel sprouts.
The food was very good but I believe the sole was actually flounder.
Meh food
Don’t waste your time. Apparently $40 dollars gets you 2 hair thin chicken skewers (“satay”) and a cup of water with 3 shrimp they call Tom Yum.
Everything. I've yet to have a single bad dish from here. Even their appetizers, like the morninglory/water spinach is fantastic. If you see the mango beef on their specialty get it.
The chicken satay is a great deal during happy hour. The tom ka soup was also good. A tad less flavor then I'm used to but also a larger portion for the price. Added some lemon juice and it helped alot. Had two great cocktails as well. A little pricey overall but worth it for the quality. Also a great setting with relaxing atmosphere

Fantastic food and incredible service - we highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious meal!!! Even tho we came in near to closing, they made us feel welcome, created for us phenomenal dishes, and we left feeling well fed and cared for. There were truly generous portions for the grilled shrimp and grilled pork noodle dishes. We will be back as soon as we can!!!

Excellent food, excellent service.
Great atmosphere, food was delectable and delicious, service was quick and friendly. Great experience. Would highly recommend it.
We ordered the following for delivery:Yum Plamuk -- it was very good, ordered extra spicy and it WAS (!)Tom Yum -- flavor was pretty good, but it was and unappetizing brown colorGiow Tod -- the dumplings were okay but we would've preferred a more traditional vinegar/chili/soy dipping saucePad Se-ew -- the dish was very dry, not enough sauce and the chicken was dry and overcookedGai Gra Prow -- we ordered it with steak, and while the flavor was very good, the pieces were too big and chewyHoi Rad Gaeng -- the curry sauce was delicious and flavorful and the greens were good in it, especially the snap peas (!) but the scallops weren't that fresh and were overcooked.Conclusion: some good flavors but for this price we expected way better quality.

If you like bold Thai flavors you'll enjoy this place. Nothing subtle but works well with rice. Quiet place to conduct a little business while you eat. Parking can be tough on College so get there early or you may be running to the restaurant from a block away.
