We made it to Soho for brunch on a Sunday to try something new. It was cute with inside and outside seating options, something for everyone on the menu and generous refillable alcoholic brunch drink options.We had the house made chicken and waffle, side of bacon and steak and eggs. Everything was made in house and tasty. The portions were a good size, filling and a decent price. It was nice to see small portions of fried potatoes and fruit on the plates to have some variety without having to order additional sides. The potatoes were super crispy and delish!There were drink options that were a little more deluxe on the menu. We opted for the $10 pitchers of mimosa and bloody Mary’s for our group. Perfect for a relaxing Sunday afternoon.The staff was wearing masks and following covid protocols when we were there. We felt safe and enjoyed our brunch.

Went here with my fiance to celebrate our year anniversary.Would have given 4 stars because overall, had a decent dining experience, however, social distancing and mask requirements were clearly not in full effect for customers. The staff on the other hand were adhering to those requirements. My main issue was ordering the strip steak that was priced at 33 dollars on the menu and after I had eaten and paid,saw that I was charged 10 dollars more for it.I presented the matter to my waitress who went to see what the issue was and said the price had increased and asked did I still want to pay that amount. I wasnt going to make a big deal about and Id already been charged so I just left but as a customer I feel I should have been compensated for that as it was an error on their end not mine. Someone, to their credit, did reach out to me after I sent an inquiry online but we missed calls and Im sure just gave up on it. Overall, cool spot though.

My wife and I were looking for a little late bite. We were walking around and we have passed SoHo before. We decided to give it a shot.Our server was nice and did a good job. We decided to try there house made waffle dessert with ice cream and chocolate syrup. We also ordered a bottle of Rose wine from there special list ( Oh yea..High end stuff!!). The dessert was decent overall. The waffle was a bit dense but I couldnt tell for sure if it was truly made from scratch. The ice cream was standard vanilla ice cream. The wine was good though and we enjoyed it.The Menu was very limited due to the COVID so that was understandable.Overall, this was a nice place to eat. Its trying to be a bit overly trendy in my opinion with the food. It didnt highly impress me overall but it was still enjoyable to eat here.

This place openly discriminates!! I watched the activities of this place over the course of a night, every African American was turned away, I called to make a reservation and was told they were booked up early evening and the bar seemed full as well! Immediately you can tell that they were prescreening every call. When we got there we were told by reservation only, no room at the bar, they forgot the bar was in open view however. Do not patronize this group! Groups like this are not worthy of your dollar! They are rude and openly picking and choosing their clientele. Understand the position they have placed themselves in and respond accordingly!And do not be fooled by the Covid response, it’s a smoke screen folks!!!

Great atmosphere, spacious seating and friendly staff. The selection of menu items are great for visitors not looking for a lesson in French or Italian. My wife really loved the tuna tacos and grilled ahi tuna. I had the New York strip and the creole shrimp starter. I wished I could just order a basket of the button mushrooms they were so delicious! Steak was cooked perfect. The fun music really drew is in and for having only one shot at dinner for our only day in Buffalo we were very pleased with our decision.

Would give this place zero stars if I could. Bouncers are on a power trip. Yelled and threatend me as I walked in. Bouncer stared me down entire night. We were forced to eat dinner outside, in 48 degree weather! Said bouncer moved the heater away from our table. I know buffalo is miserable in general, but will never return to this establishment again. Worst place on chippewa.

Poor service, old friesWe asked for specific cooking directions on our steaks, they were not followed. And then the waitress tries to say that it is exactly as we asked, but in plain sight it isnt!!The salad was good, and so the burger. Thats why they get 2 stars and not 1

Wow 25 min to get drinks. Food was good but the waiting killed it. Bartender had to find another server to help us. Just canceled a dinner we were going to have there.And looking at the reviews it seems the owner only responds to positive reviews.

I love Wasabi Chi. I frequent their sister location, Wasabi Tao for lunch but Wasabi Chi is my favorite for dinner. They have a variety of sushi rolls with shellfish (my fave) and vegetarian ones. I especially like their salad with the ginger dressing. Im not a big ginger fan but I could put that salad dressing on nearly everything in my life and be so happy.

Review №37

Waited 30 minutes to get drinks, which had to be remade because they tasted nothing like what we ordered. Music was great, but the place was so packed that (without exaggeration) there was no way to move through the crowd. This was very dangerous because Im sure the amount of people there exceeded the maximum capacity. I dont understand how the bouncers kept letting people in when there was literally no room to move. These buildings are old and Im sure that was not safe. This packed crowd didnt benefit the bartenders who couldnt keep up with orders. Aside from that, the music was fantastic!

Atmosphere is great, love the open air patios. Food is a little hit or miss but Ive had a fairly limited number of things and have only been here for pre-arranged business meals so I may not be the best judge of normal memu items.

Review №49

First 2 times I was here was great. I was recommending it to everyone.Last time I was here, I cant even say the service was atrocious. It was nonexistent. From the moment I sat down at the bar, the bartender just walked away without saying a word or putting a menu in front of me. I sat there for 5-10 minutes with NOTHING. Meanwhile, the bartender was wandering around about 30 feet away, occasionally making eye contact but then just continued wandering around. It would be a different story if it was busy, but there were maybe 6 people in the whole place and 2 of those people were also sitting at the bar. After that, I just left. I will never come back here. It makes me a bit sad, because the burgers were good, but the service(if it can even be called that) was abysmal.

Pleasant Sunday brunch. Chocolate chip waffle with real maple syrup was tasty and crunchy, but the chips tasted economy brand. The coffee was also too long in the pot.

My wife and I have been coming to Soho Burger Bar since they opened the restaurant and we love the changes theyve made. Everything weve had has been fresh and flavorful from the salads to the burgers. I have tried every item on the menu and have enjoyed them all! My wife loves the Steak & Egg burger and the Tuna Burger. Try the spiked shakes - the Kentucky Caramel is amazing! If you have room for dessert try the homemade ice cream sandwiches or the hot fudge chocolate caramel brownie sundae. You wont be disappointed.

Food was really good. I had chili burger with hand cut fries. I could eat the fries without ketchup thats how good they were. The burger was nice and juciy got medium rare added an fried egg. I gave it 4 stars because the menu was very small. Wish they had more burgers to choose from.

Went here at 9:30 or so at night and we seemed to be the only people eating (everyone else was just drinking). I specifically asked for the wings first but instead they came out with our entrees after an entire HOUR of waiting. I’m sorry but it should not take an hour to cook some wings and a burger. The burgers were okay, but I’d rather spend a little more and go to ABV.

Went there for an after work party on the patio. Weather was super and we had four barmaid who kept our glasses full. The food was served buffet style and it was all very good warm till the end. I cant personally speak for the menu food, however, it looked very good as we walked out and Ive been told all the items are really good.

Favorite place downtown. Unfortunately its the only place on Chippewa where you can have fun without worrying about safety. Very strict under age rules and the bouncers actually stick by them. Been going there for years and will continue going there for a night out on chip.

Yesterday afternoon we were just walking around on Chippewa looking for a spot to grab lunch. Soho looked pretty cool so we tried it out. As soon as you walk in you feel like you arent in Buffalo, NY anymore. Super cool atmosphere!We snagged a seat and ended up ordering the lunch special of a salad and burger. Food came out very timely and was really good. No complaints at all. Waitress was on it, but not over bearing. Manager checked in to see how everything was. Exactly how eating out should be.Now I cant wait to go back for some Happy Hour drinks here sometime. All around great experience.

Went for brunch on Sunday - beautiful outdoor seating, waitress was friendly and wonderful. We had the waffles and hamburger both which were good quality and price. Definitely a must see! Only gave a 4 star as the menu for 1pm on Sunday was a little light offering only one type of hamburger - selection was limited.

Great burgers! The chips that come with them are okay, but the truffle tots are very delicious. Eat them hot, though, as their texture gets a little doughy after they cool down. I dont know if Ive had a better cocktail for $10 either. We went on a Monday or Tuesday night (cant remember!) when the Sabres were playing and the place was rather empty. The tv wasnt too loud, but we could watch the game if we wanted. Service was as good as it should have been on a night like that, and the atmosphere was suitable for enjoying gourmet burgers. Not sure if I would go there on a weekend, but its a good choice for week night date night.

Stopped in here around 7:30 on a Monday night. Most of the places around were pretty dead but there were a lot of people in here. Turns out it was a private party but they were open and we were hungry.We split some wings which were good; they fry them and then grill them so they are crispier. Then had a blue cheese burger with fries and a Belgian beer. Service was good, but there werent that many people in there so not a surprise. I cant complain about anything and would come back

Excellent burger bar, the staff is courteous and prompt, the bar side is pretty happening even for a Thursday night, and my custom burger (kaiser, cheddar & mozzarella, bacon and a fried egg) and beer I had were both 10/10! I highly recommend this spot for a casual burger/sandwich in a sweet downtown nighttime scene. The patio is a nice seating area for conversations as well.

Review №89

This has nothing to do with the food or restaurant part. They hike entry prices sometimes so high it’s ridiculous. The owner literally changed the price from $10 to get in to $20 right in front of me. Also the bartenders try to rip you off occasionally and when you try to call them out they act like they have no idea about what’s going on. Fun place though.
