Sochu has garnered some good reviews and deserved a visit. Decided to visit on a Sunday evening and it was pretty busy after 6:30 pm. It is tastefully decorated in a more retro fashion than what might generally see as traditional decor for an Asian inspired cuisine.
We started off with a TAPAS the BACON WRAPPED QUAIL EGGS and it was fabulous. We then went on to the HOT & SOUR SOUP and it was not your traditional variety but rather a tamarind base and making that more of broth. Interesting and a nice take on Hot & Sour. The DYNAMITE CHICKEN was a clear disappointment and seemed more of a rendition of a Sweet and Sour and lacked any distinctive flavor. We finally tried the PAD THAI and it was done with the very find noodles. We decided to order the beef which was $4 extra and seemed rather high for a dish that was $10 and not a whole lot of beef either. Guess 40% higher for a beef or shrimp option seemed out of balance.
Might want to try more of their TAPAS another time. They have a TAPAS TUESDAY where the First Four Tapas per table only (please note this fine print) are $20.
Service was generally good till it got busy, when it truly took a very long time to get our entrees. Overall it was not "wow" and neither was it disappointing.
