soho japanese bistro

If your cook is good you'll have a great experience. We, however, did not. Our cook struggled with allergy requirements (even though he was given a slip with that info) and had a hard time understanding our explanations. Also, for some reason, he wasn't given proper quantities for everyone so I had to wait quite a while for my shrimp. Our experience was probably not typical of this restaurant in general, but that was our experience.

I love the food here.
The waiters work so hard to give good service but they always seem understaffed. Still, everyone seems happy and helpful. My favorite lunch spot! 🍣🥡🥢

Excellent food and service. You can choose between regular seating and watching your food prepared. The chiefs put on an incredible show while preparing your food.

Celebrated our grandsons 6th birthday tonight. Party of 10 at hibachi table. 400 dollars later and extremely disappointed.
**Food** ordered filet mignon, that was definitely NOT filet…more like a shoulder round. Shrimp sat on the grill the entire time and was second to last to be served, like rubber!! Chef had zero personality, obviously very new. He Struggled every step of the way. But the kicker is he sprayed my grandson in the face with soy sauce and even with him covering his face with his arms he did not stop, both of our shirts were covered with soy splatter as well. No he was not aiming for any mouths he was missing the veges on the grill and not paying attention…zucchini tasted old and rotten. after spending that type of money on such an awful meal I feel this review is needed. All 10 at the table were left feeling the same. The soup was the best part! I’m not one to leave reviews unless it is just that bad or amazing..and it was awful! Sincerely, disappointed and soaking new shirt in stain remover.

Had the house salad and 2 sushi rolls. Both had deep fried items in it. Either they used really old oil or something was wrong with the food. Even the rice tasted weird. Server was slow but fine when she was there. I love sushi and a few bites in I called it quits.

The salad was good. We got 3 sushi rolls and a side of fried rice and they all tasted off. We suspect the oil in the fryer might be to blame.

The atmosphere was really beautiful and I expected the food to be better, especially for the price.

Was warming greeted by the owner- Ivan (american name) He was so nice and kind . He made my guests feel instantly welcomed. Did not have a reservation and he set us instantly. Was so charming even cracked a couple of jokes and checked on us throughout the wonderful experience. Hands down I would say this is the best restaurant that I've ever been to in my whole entire life. The hibachi chef was so amazing you could tell that he had years of training. The servers were beyond gracious always there the exact moment that anything was needed. I've been in the restaurant industry my whole entire life and this hands down beats any place I've ever been Chicago, New York, even Milan. I would recommend this place to anyone! Japanese hibachi taken to another level. Heart stopping phenomenal drinks and atmosphere that will just leave you quenching for more. Wish I could give it 10 Stars. If you're in town make sure you stop by and check out this once in a lifetime experience.

The food and service were very good. The lady sweeping with a broom provided constant banging noises the entire time. I guess she couldn't figure out how to keep the plastic parts from hitting each other. It was very loud and constant. Please educate.
