| - In a lunch rush? You can count on Soho to delivery hot, plentiful edibles in the time it takes some people to get through a long drive-through line. Husband and I met up for lunch just a couple minutes after noon. By 12:30, we'd dined and had the check in hand.
Service is prompt, and polite/friendly in a rushed kind of way - they know how to get people in and out, on the double. We were checked on by three different servers, plus one more at the end of our meal after we'd finished eating and the plates had been cleared, who wanted to make sure someone had taken our order!
Husband likes the sweet & sour chicken, which always looks well prepared, though I've never tried it since it's not a favorite of mine. This time I went for the Thai Curry Shrimp ($6.99). The curry sauce tasted more in line with flavors I'd expect from Indian food - sweet and heavy on the turmeric - and like it maaay have had its origins in a bottle or package of some kind, but it was still good, and pleasantly, mildly spiced. There were large chunks of vegetables in the mix, and they are not stingy with the shrimp. The brown rice was good and chewy, and spring rolls served piping hot and crispy, straight from the fryer.
It may not be the most authentic international cuisine you'll ever eat, but when pressed for time and watching your budget, Soho is as great as anything you could want.
One last thing - be care with the address! While the city may put it on Tryon, the entrance is actually on College. I spent several minutes walking up and down Tryon between 5th and 6th, looking to no avail before finally calling Husband, who directed me down to the next street.
