Great Dining Experience!

by rph1102 at Citysearch

After having eaten at Soho on numerous occasions, all of which have exceeded my expectation of a good dining experience, I can truthfully and excitedly recommend this sushi/hibachi restaurant to anyone. My first experience there, my family and I were greeted warmly by the hostess and were brought to our table immediately. Our waiter was prompt, funny, and made a noticeable effort to ensure that our dinner was satisfactory. The wait was short for our food and when it came out--WOW! I have yet to taste sushi as fresh in my 9 years living in the Cincinnati area, not to mention the portion sizes being nearly twice as big as other sushi restaurants. I ordered an entree from the Dining menu while my husband ordered a Hibachi entree. We both were blown away. The meal was juicy flavorful, and I found myself almost upset that I couldn't eat it all. It was so good! My family and I now eat regularly at Soho. Since we've been so often now the manager recognizes us and always makes sure to pay us a visit and make us feel welcome. The staff is always friendly and has always made us feel right at home. If you want to great dining experience, go to Soho!

One of our family's favorite places

by Sneakr at Citysearch

For a family of 7, it's not always easy to find a place where everyone loves to eat but Soho is definitely one of those restaurants everyone looks forward to visiting. When we walk in the door, we feel like we're visiting old friends.

The sushi is spectacular. The servers hustle and bustle to do their best for you. My husband and I met there for lunch on Valentine's day and one of the servers gave us a saxophone serenade at our dining table. If there's a particular server we want to see, we ask to be seated in his/her section that day. One of our favorite servers was recently promoted to a manager position there but he always checks in on us to make sure we're taken care of.

If you're a frequent patron, ask about the dining card. You get money back for every certain amount that you spend.

Best Japanese Cuisine in Cincinnati

by Porshamarie7 at Citysearch

The is my new favorite spot. I've been 3 times. The food is amazing! Especially the sushi rolls. You get full just off of those. The Heaven roll is simply the best hands down. I've had the eel, shrimp and scallops. And they were all wonderful. The miso soup is awesome. (make sure it's hot!) The waiters are great. Very personable, friendly and funny. Mac is the best waiter ever, Denny is great too. The owners seem cool as well. Not uptight. Very relaxed. Have already sent 5 people to this restaurant. Would recommend to all.

• Pros: Excellent Food, Staff and Atmosphere!
• Cons: Deciding on what to eat???

Very Poor service

by foods101 at Citysearch

Very poor service and servers. Some drinks and meals were not delivered. There is little concern for the customer's food choices or any question of food items offered. Some online menu items are not on their actual menus.

It would be a good decision to choose any other restaurant.

Horrible management!

by H0nestFeedback at Citysearch

The food is great, but I have to agree with the poor service. Management is incompetent! The hibachi food is a carbon copy of Benihana, but their service is much better. I also discovered they lose reservations - and they do absolutely nothing to fix it!

Don't take the risk - go to one of the other great Japenese restaurants in the area.

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Management & service - there is none!
