We need to point out at the start – this is a bar in spirit, with the confused menu of owners who need to back off.
Food ordered:
Beer
Mayberry Roll
Singapore Noodles
House Salad with Ginger Dressing
Philly Cheesesteak
Starting off, the atmosphere matches a bar – and if you look at the first few photos and the name, you would expect a pub. This is not a pub… it’s a confused Asian-Tex Mex with just enough grill items to justify the “grill” in its name.
To note – the bar quality is great. Taps are kept stocked, lines are solid.
We got a sushi roll as an app and were blown away by the quality. Fresh, tight roll. Clean ingredients. Excellent flavor pair. The best part of the night.
Now – entrees –
The noodles were atrocious. Overcooked slop, no sauce, the only flavor is black pepper. Half the plate is cooked onions in various stages of cooked. The carrots are microwaved frozen carrots tossed on the plate as an afterthought. The meat was ordered rare and came three stages past well done. I wouldn’t feed that to my dog. They’re using Cantonese noodles, which are fairly hard to overcook but damn they found a way.
The salad it came with is an average American salad. The ginger dressing is GREAT – one note though. It’s a *lemon* ginger dressing. I found the lemon seed in the dressing container.
The cheesesteak was dry. As one of the only traditional pub dishes on the menu, I expected it to be knocked out of the park, and it wasn’t evening a wow.
Overall, the menu is unruly. Noting the multiple sushi and hibachi joints nearby, I would recommend a redo on the menu. There was no one here eating food – they were all drinking. A pub is needed in the area and they clearly have the clientele to support it. Cut the menu by 3/4. Reign in the vibes.
Or promote your sushi chef and cut everything else.

This is an interesting review for me. The food was decent but it wasn’t cohesive with the atmosphere. This was a decent bar scene. I was expecting pub food and was surprised to see an Asian inspired menu. The food was decent. My wife got soup and ended up with bland chicken broth. Had to add some soy sauce for a little flavor. This would be a good place to go for some drinks and pub food, but as it is there are much better Asian restaurants in town. I wouldn’t say no to this place but it also wouldn’t be my first choice.

Pretty great food overall. My mom and I each got a shrimp wrap. Hers was awesome, mine had a little too much wrap and was missing avocado. But overall good experience! We loved the chicken pot stickers.

All the food was extremely good very delicious very well-made we’ve had a guess that had gluten free food was excellent. My only criticism would be the rainbow roll was very sad look at the picks. Other than the sushi the food was great and reasonably priced.

My husband and I were recommended Soho Bar & Grill to enjoy Asian cuisine. We were surprised by a very different menu that consisted of fusion items anywhere from Asian to Mexican to American. The decor offered a lot to take in, and even though each element was very interesting, it just seemed a little beyond eclectic. The overall atmosphere was a definite departure from what the rest of downtown portrayed. The food was good. We’ll try something else next time.

Unexpected. That’s one word to describe our lunch at Soho. We asked for a recommendation from a local for a good Asian restaurant. She sent us to Soho. So we were expecting Asian. The exterior signage didn’t look Asian and neither did the decor inside. It is bright and open. Even on a cloudy day, there’s lots of light. The staff was friendly, courteous and attentive. Our food was very good. My wife ordered the Soho Special Platter and I got the Chicken Fried Rice. The flavor profile of my chicken fried rice was not what I expected! The sauce for the chicken and vegetables was not typical at all. It was more reminiscent of comfort food than average Chinese sauces. It paired nicely with the shrimp sauce provided. Their shrimp sauce appears to be made in-house and gives the expected sweetness to a dish. I enjoyed my meal, as did my wife, thoroughly. With tip, our whole meal was around $22. We left satisfied.
On the whole, I think we had a pleasant experience, in part, because they are breaking stereotypes of Chinese and Asian restaurants. It’s really more accurate to say they’re a fusion restaurant as they have cilantro and pico de gallo featured on the menu along with burgers. Not a typical anything here! If you like to follow the beat of a different drummer, check this place out!
