Soho Asian Bistro

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 w

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 st

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!
