| - Well, as I've stated before, we are huge fans of Johnny Chu! We follow him around to every restaurant in the area that he opens, and we are never disappointed; Sochu House is no exception!
We have been here several times now and have enjoyed our experiences each time. The service, food, drinks, and environment are all consistently excellent. The prices are a little high, but we expect that. While it's not really a place for an everyday meal, it is nice for a special occasion or a night out! :) For example, we had a very nice time on Valentines Day earlier this year.
The servers are always excellent, friendly, helpful, and polite. They are also there only when you need them; otherwise, they know to give you your space. I adore this quality! I hate being pestered, but at the same time, I don't want to be ignored! :)
The food is incredible, but some of the portions are on the smaller side. Still, it is definitely quality and presentation over quantity. Nonetheless, we still leave with full bellies every time! My only complaint would be the dessert cream cheese wontons I got one time. It was a bit pricey and only came with two tiny wontons. The sauce was delicious, at least!
I also love the name in general... it is an awesome play on words with Johnny's family name and, I believe, the Japanese alcohol "Shochu." While the food is definitely a fusion, there are some Japanese elements in the dishes... especially presentation. Food should be beautiful AND delicious, and this is something that the Japanese and Johnny Chu have truly mastered. It is a perfect name for an excellent restaurant, and we will definitely be back sometime in the future.
