   A warm and friendly restaurant with excellent food and service. This is not just a great neighborhood restaurant but one of the best Saigonese food around.

   We really enjoyed our time at Sochi and highly recommend it to others. The food was delicious and super flavorful, especially the market salad and egg rolls. We were told that some of the desserts were made by the mother of the chef daily, adding a very personal/ family touch to the experience. The ambience was elevated but not too stuffy. Overall, it's a great spot!

   Always a favorite stop for our family. Food was Tasty and Fresh as always with fair price points. Love the Pho and the vegetable noodles. Just so good! Also, started with the eggplant appetizer and really enjoyed that as well.

    Sochi has a limited menu for a Vietnamese restaurant, which should mean that they make everything superbly. Unfortunately, the food was uneven. The eggplant appetizer was delicious. We asked the waiter for guidance on the dishes to order. He said it was all good. It wasn't. We ordered a salad to share and each orded the Pho. The salad was basically pho noodles and meat but with salad dressing. no more veggies than the pho. We would have appreciated if the waiter said the salad was actually a noodle dish. Then the Pho came. The noodles in the Pho were mushy, and the meat was beef, the broth was decent. Not enough veggies here either - just 3 basil leaves. Their signature Sochi Saigonese gin cocktail was watery and flavorless, but it did come with a pretty orchid. The restaurant was full, but never running a wait. Nevertheless, the server was offensively pushy and persistent, interrupting us every 10 minutes throughout the meal, even after we explained we hadn't seen each other in a long time and were looking forward to catching up.

    The spring rolls, mostly stuffed with noodles, were bland and uninspiring. I liked the dipping sauce which somewhat redeemed this appetizer. I ordered the salt chicken. Salt is truly my favorite food, but even for me, the salt sauce was over the top and inedible. The coffee flan lacked any hint of coffee flavor and came with ice on top—weird. Skip this restaurant if you enjoy conversation over dinner. As soon as our waiter came to our table he informed us that we had a 1 hour 45 minute window to eat—unwelcoming at best. The loud music made it difficult to talk, probably intentionally so given the focus on getting us to eat quickly and leave.

    We were a table of four, each of whom thought he or she had ordered the best dish on the menu. (My choice, the Slap Mama Crab-Fried Rice, was both delicious and unique.) The service was attentive while not being intrusive. When I had questions about gluten-free options, the server brought the owner over to our table to talk to us about them. She was happy to accommodate us. A great evening!

    I didn’t appreciate that the first thing out of the mouth of the receptionist, waiter and busboy was that we can’t stay more than an hour and a half. The food was good, though.

    Unfortunately, our server failed to mention the 1 hour 30 minute table of 3 time limit to us when we sat down. My friends ordered another round of cocktails and after we paid/tipped, our server said we only had 5 minutes left. Shortly after, the hostess came by our table to remind us of the time limit. At this point, my friends still had full drinks to finish and were being rushed. As we were about to leave, the owner came over and in an extremely rude tone told us to leave. By the time we left, we were only 2 minutes over our table limit. Poor customer service and will not be returning.

    Food is amazing here, have come many times and never disappointed. Service was a little strange this time. We had a reservation (not a walk in) and arrived on time, they sat us down and immediately told us we had to order everything up front because the table was reserved for someone else an hour and 45 minutes later. She told us she would keep track of the time. Just a an off putting way to start the meal. We had no trouble eating and finishing before the deadline. It just seemed like unnecessary pressure to apply to your customer before they've even sat down when it most likely wouldn't need to be mentioned at all.

    The service was chaotic with several waitstaff asking if someone had come to our table and one asking if anyone had been assigned to us yet. The host seemed overwhelmed and wry concerned that we understood she needed our table in two hours for another reservation. The focus seemed on getting people in and out as fast as possible. As a result, main course dishes arrived while appetizer plates were still on the table. Just as we finished our meal, the server came over and asked if we were finished When we said yes, expecting her to clear the table of the dishes, she instead held out her electronic pad and told us the total for the meal. Besides the service, the cocktails seem unimaginative. The wine list could use improvement too. The main course dinners for each of the four in our party were disappointing compared to last visits.

    This was our first visit to Sochi Siagonese Kitchen, and WE LOVED IT! the food was very good. We especially enjoyed the Golden Nest, a new appetizer. The "nest" was a bed of finely shredded, fried potatoes, topped with shrimp covered in a delicious cilantro lime cream sauce. Really good. We also shared an order of the Spring Rolls, which were good, but not amazing. We split an entree of Shaking Beef, which consisted of chunks of filet, bone marrow rice (yummy!) and a small side salad (the dressing was light and tasty). We ended with Tiramisu. Not sure why a Siagonese restaurant is serving tiramisu, but I had to try it for just that reason. It was OK; I've had better. Most places do not make authentic tiramisu, and this was no exception. Overall, a really good experience. We'll be back.

    Our server John was amazing! He was able to provide some suggestions which was helpful for our first time there. The shrimp nest was my favorite dish we tried. We also had the duck salad (the duck was delicious but I don’t love bean sprouts), the crab fried rice (a bit seafood forward but tasty) and the beef with marrow rice (the beef was delicious). We also tried the Saigon sling which was strong but well balanced.
