This is a very modern space compared to most of the bars on this strip. If they are located anywhere else I just might give them a higher score but considering all that is available in this strip; I think Soos falls a tad flat.
Their tall seats, loud music and brightly lit dining room certainly gives off a cool vibe that might appeal to you but don't get too comfortable. After a drink or 2 and a few dishes later you just might start to feel a bit of uneasiness and self awareness starts to set in as you feel like folks around you might just be a little too close for comfort. The seats don't help either as they are well off the ground and dangling your legs for long periods of time isn't exactly comfortable.
Comfort aside, I find the dishes a little flat as well. The slaw; perhaps their most prized dish has flavours that is very one sided. It's overly sweet and has way too much peanuts that overpower most of your palate. I was surprised to find that there's little to no acid to this dish and there is a lack of herbs (2 tiny sprigs of coriander) which is concerning considering this is an Asian dish. The chicken tacos were also very muted in flavour as well. There seems to be a reoccurring theme of very muted almost bland tasting dishes.
If there is one thing they need to be successful when attempting any Asian fusion dish is to go bold with the flavours. Asian cuisine is about fusing texture, herbs and spices to create bold flavours -- which Soos definitely does not deliver.
