| - Sochu House is definitely in my top 10, maybe top 5, favorite restaurants in the valley. I was a little sad to see Sens leave the downtown core, but they really created a great spot with Sochu House (and it's not that far away obviously).
I'm systematically attempting to get through the entire menu, so I feel like I've tried a large portion of it, and I have not been disappointed once. There are a few dishes that I always come back to though: the sizzling shrimp (get it with a side of rice to make sure you eat all of the sauce), the hot and sour soup (this is THE best hot and sour soup I've ever had and I've been known to eat multiple orders in the same visit), the sugar cane pork, and the bacon wrapped lychee. Other notable dishes are the bacon wrapped quail egg, the spicy wonton, and the Asian 5 spice quail. I have yet to try any of the actual entrees, but if the tapas are any indication I'm sure they're delicious as well (and trust me, I'll get to them sooner or later).
Their cocktails menu is also diverse and well-rounded. There are sweet drinks, spicy drinks, and everything in between.
The decor is pretty swanky, but it's totally comfortable. The service has always been decent, and it's always a place we consider when trying to make meal decisions. And it is always a wise choice that's never been regretted.
