Soho - Newcastle upon Tyne

Soho is a new collaboration with Kevin Lui, and our expectations were high. We were not disappointed. The dark walls of the original Bar Soho have been replaced with a fresh and clean makeover. The service is friendly, and it's always great to see Kevin interacting with customers. The menu is extensive, with great lunchtime and early evening offers. We have visited this place 5 times now, as it is very convenient for those in town or looking for a post-work meal (it's located around the corner from RVI Hospital). We have always ordered the Box, which includes a starter, side salad, and a choice of rice main. The food is delicious and we highly recommend it. The portions are just right, so you won't feel bloated afterwards or hungry later.

Best meal I’ve had in town for years, wasabi prawns, amazing, squid, amazing, and the beef was the best I’ve ever had, brilliant service and I can wait to go back to try the sea food platter.. x

Visited last night with friends. Excellent food with a great menu and first class service. Great atmosphere. We will be back

My friends and I made a last-minute decision to go out on a Saturday night and ended up at this recently opened restaurant. I had noticed it the week before while attending a match at St James Park, where I saw that Bar Soho had been transformed into a Korean and Japanese Restaurant called Soho. When we arrived around 9:30, there were only 4 tables occupied, which made us a bit apprehensive. The manager greeted us warmly and we settled in to peruse the menu. The atmosphere was very casual, more like a laid-back dining spot than a formal restaurant, which I think works well for the nearby match crowds and students. We ordered a variety of starters, including tempura, sushi, meats, and vegetarian options, all of which were delicious. However, the main courses were a bit disappointing and fell short of our expectations. They reminded me more of a meal from Wagamama, decent but not as impressive as the starters. Since they had only recently opened and were still getting the hang of things, I plan on returning to give them another chance and hopefully have a better experience. Good luck to them!

Please note that about a quarter of the reviews for this restaurant seem to be confused with the Soho nightclub. This Japanese-Korean fusion restaurant is located near Eldon Gardens. Last night, I visited with a friend and we both ordered noodle soup - chicken ramen for me and seafood udon for her. The service was prompt, we were seated quickly and our drink and food orders were taken promptly. However, I was disappointed to find that the chicken in my bowl was undercooked, the noodles were overcooked and sticky, and the broth was lacking in flavor. We asked for chili sauce but were given something closer to sweet and sour sauce. Despite this, the server noticed that I had not eaten much and asked what was wrong. She took my dish back to the kitchen to discuss with the chef, removed it from the bill without me asking, and offered to bring me something else instead. This gesture was greatly appreciated. Overall, I believe this was just a one-time mistake as the restaurant was busy and other customers seemed satisfied. I imagine that the other dishes on the menu may be more enjoyable.
