| - Man, the rice plates here are GOOD! For $8-11, you get bowl's worth of rice with juicy, flavorful meat and sweet cucumber pickles. So far, I have tried the bbq pork and the braised pork belly, and both were delicious. I can't really describe these items better than the menu does, but I'll try:
The bbq pork is really tender with a gravy-like brown sauce that is sweet, salty, and savory without being overpowering by any means. The secret weapon is the ginger scallion sauce on the side; its bright, herbal flavor really shines through the pork's dark, savory flavor.
The braised pork belly provides big chunks of tender braised pork belly that has been finished in the fryer to provide a crispy exterior. This is served on top of sautéed green beans and topped with a mushroom-based sweet and sour sauce.
The dumplings were ok. I tried the pork ones, and I found them to be pretty tasty, but they were nothing special.
I will definitely be back to try some more rice plates. SoHo offers good, affordable comfort food with a simple menu and a casual environment. They also announce their specials on Facebook, so be sure to like their page to find out about some off-menu offerings.
