| - YELP 365 CHALLENGE 2014-(109/365) "From Social House to the Suburbs"
Chef John Chien Lee has set up shop on the Southwest side of town and is fast becoming a favorite spot among the Yelp Community and you can see by the rave reviews!
Our few visits have been during happy hour, and this is one of the best HH spots around town IMHO. On our first visit, we tried the Soho Maki, Tostadas(All 4 kinds), Beef Tataki, Albacore Sashimi, Firecracker Roll, Ika Geso, Cod Lettuce Wraps, and all were delicious with the exception of the Soho Maki which is essentially annorexic spring rolls in a glass. That item as well as the Firecracker Roll was forgettable.
Our Second visit, we arrived just before HH which allowed us to try one of their lunch specials. If I had to suggest one, The Soho Moco where Chef Chien pays homage to the Hawaiian Loco Moco is pretty bangin'! A nicely seasoned burger patty with rice, a perfectly fried egg, and Chien's version of a gravy comes with a side salad and miso soup...All that for $8.95? Stupid, right!?!? Oh, the components are presented seperately in a nice bento box style, but to totaly enjoy the Moco, dump out the rice and make little bed, on goes the burger, on the burger goes the egg, then smother the whole thing with the gravy. Cut in to that bad boy letting the yolk ooze all over, and KILL IT!...;9 We also redeemed ourselves during dessert as we finally got our hands on their popular Green Tea Tiramisu (They ran out during our first visit) That was a great ending to our meal.
The service here is some of the best as well. Servers are very personable, and are quick to offer recommendations of popular items as well as their personal favorites Chef Chien himself even stops by to each table to see how everyone's doing and even lets you know of upcoming events and menu additions which I thought were pretty cool. Soho is closed on Sundays so that Chef Chien and his employees have quality time with family...Awesome boss points right there! If you haven't already, come by and have yourself some Soho action! ALOHA!!!
