Sochu House is eerily reminiscent of the Sens House that closed in Central Phoenix. In fact, I'm 90% sure it's the same restaurant with a new location and re-vamped name. We came here because we had a groupon. My boyfriend is a meat-eater and I am not so you can imagine sharing tapas was not as convenient for us. He ordered the orange chicken and the sugar cane pork. I got the $10 miso soup (it's good, but not THAT good), chow fun (it's a special right now) and the Thai spring rolls (these could have been SO much better. They were stuffed with rice noodles.. and then wrapped in a rice noodle paper and had a piece of mint.. add ANYTHING else to it and it would've been better). They don't have their own brewed iced tea so I got some weird $4 bottled tea that looked fancier than it tasted. We finished off the meal with the green tea cheesecake (okay seriously, this was the best part of the meal).
There was a lonely DJ on the other side of the room and (I presume) the owner kept walking over to every table and talking on his cell phone the whole time. It was a strange experience.
The food was mediocre. Maybe if I ate meat I'd be more impressed, though my boyfriend was not thrilled with his tapas, either. We realized after we got our bill that our groupon was not valid on Fridays, so we paid $55 for two people. That's a bit much for our taste. We'll have to come back (to actually use our groupon), but it's nothing to write home about.
