Went on Valentines Day 2026 with my love and had an amazing time. Even tho it was packed and a little noisy, the restaurant still had an ambiance of calmness and professionalism. Very nicely decorated. Very modern. I’ve tried many Asian type restaurants over the past 40 years and by far Soho Asain Bistro is the best I’ve ever had the pleasure to walk into and enjoy fully. I want to thank especially my girlfriend (who is the best ever!) And Soho Asain Bistro for a most wonderful time and meal!

To begin, the restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous inside. Very modern and bright with beautiful artwork and lighting. I was impressed walking through the door.
I was there with friends on a Wednesday night, so not the busiest night usually, but there weren’t many other seated tables. The waitstaff was pleasant enough, but not overly warm. One of my friends found something in her hot tea and he seemed reluctant to provide a new one. She dealt with the replacement which had loose ground leaves at the bottom.
The food was good and portion sizes were large. My favorite of the 3 items I ordered was the wonton soup. It had an excellent broth and the wontons were soft and delicious. For an appetizer, I chose the Rock Shrimp. These were good, not the best I have had, but good. Oddly, they were served over a bed of French fries, which I haven’t seen anywhere else. I didn’t try them. Finally, I love a good General Tso Chicken over steamed rice. Theirs was all white meat – my preference – which can be hard not to overcook. The flavor was excellent, but the chicken was a little tougher due to overlooking. I am the only non-sushi eater out of my group, but they reported that the rolls they ordered were good.
Overall a pleasant place to spend an hour enjoying a meal, but not someplace I would go out of my way for either.

Overall, the food itself wasn’t the most amazing, but it gave us so much comfort—like finding water in the desert. We were traveling from New York, starving, and came across this nearby sushi spot. The warm short ribs really hit the spot with their sweet flavor. The appetizer portions were small but just right for two people. The sushi was good, while the ramen could’ve been richer—the broth wasn’t very strong. Still, I left feeling very satisfied, and that’s why I’m giving it 5 stars.

Quite a few issues with this place which is sad because I wanted to enjoy it. I would suggest passing this place by. For the price, it is not worth it.
We had group of five people so we were able to sample and try a wide variety of different meals and flavors that this location offered.
Our first and most major issue was the service which was provided by a younger woman. She consistently disappeared, would not come check on us, and at one point we asked for some boxes with some desert menus and she said okay and then went on break! We had to eventually pull another worker to ask them for help and the waiter we had came back out and started laughing and just making jokes. The staff also kept dropping their to-go boxes and counter items onto the floor and just put them back for use! The staff also had trouble understanding us, and when we went to order an item just straight up told us “we don’t have that”, so we had to point at it and then they said, “Oh yeah we have that”. Very unprofessional to not know the menu or just tell a customer no without first asking to see what they are asking about.
The food was just okay. The flavors were not there and everything was overall pretty bland. The broth of the miso soup and the Ramen was good but the meaty flavors that you expect from the proteins were drowned out by an overly salted taste and the other entrees were bland and devoid of any pop. Our desert, after waiting a long time to order and receive, was slightly frozen with freezer burn!
This leads me to believe that many of the items in the restaurant are frozen and simply heated up instead of any actual cooking. Very disappointing.
Atmosphere was fine, no problems there. Table settings and utensils were as expected.
In conclusion, don’t bother coming here. Go to another location, as there is nothing here of value that you will get that you cannot get better at a different restaurant of the same price. Two stars for at least having edible food, but below average on the scale of what you expect.

Wanted to explore dinner place in Rensselaer, saw this Asian Bistro. They had huge menu, it was exciting but overwhelming at same time. So tried different food, the roll that we order didn’t look really appetizing and also the tum yum soup didn’t taste like Tom yum. However, the Thai basil chicken and salmon carpaccio were really good. I ordered scorpion bowl for drinks, it was large but I enjoyed it. Server was very polite and patience, we liked her. First drink order was taken by 1 server who seem to be in rush, but later another young lady with smiling attitude came and her attitude and service were 5 ⭐️. Again, will be coming back as I live near by and also recommend!

Bathrooms: barely had toilet paper. zero paper towels.. Water all over the floor like there was a leak. Quite a few employees. Definitely, not cleaned daily. .Dirty. We really should have left and I regret not doing so. Yes. I did say something. Any worker who came out of the kitchen was wearing a coat. Dinner served on ice cold plates.
Food was just okay.
Server was nice.
Che k took forever to get. Forever to pay. No it was not busy.
Not my kind of place. Won’t go back.

I remember this place from my youth as the East greenbush diner…nice to see new life in its place! This was my first time here- and I will be back!! The service was swift and polite (impressive even- our waitress wrote nothing down- but remembered our party of 5 order brilliantly!!) the food was freshly prepared and served piping hot. (The menu has SO many options- including vegan- as one of our party is) Portions were generous without being huge, we all left with doggie bags. Pricing was more than appropriate. Restaurant is clean- and there is a wheelchair ramp for accessibility for all!!

This is a great Asian fusion restaurant. The have an exceptionally elaborate menu and everything we tried was great! I’ve never had a sushi pizza before but it was a fantastic starter and I highly recommend it. The Korean BBQ ribs and they were tasty. My wife had the soba noodles with beef, and she was very happy with her choice. The food is presented in a really nice way that makes you feel that it’s as high-end as the restaurant’s interior suggests. The staff is very accommodating, friendly and helpful, and we never had to wait for anything. I’ll definitely visit again.

We’ve been here a few times, and as someone who lived in Shanghai in my youth, this food is TOP NOTCH! The food, drinks, atmosphere and service are all 10/10! Our favorites: steamed dumplings (xiao long bao style), thai chicken wings and lycee martini! We also have a toddler and the staff is so understanding (and the fun atmosphere helps).

Very quiet, relaxing place to eat. Was celebrating my daughter’s birthday and she chose the restaurant. It was our first time and I don’t regret. Staff was very friendly and patient. The food was great. I had the Duck Spring Roll and my husband and our daughter had the Crispy Calamari for our appetizers. They were delicious. Then I had the Pineapple Chicken, my husband had the Steak Lobster Hibachi and our daughter had the Roast Pork Lo Mein for our Entrees. The food was great. Then we had the Fried Ice cream for our daughter. That was very good. Would definitely be returning.
