Asian Restaurant · SoHo · 22 tips and reviews
Marie La Rue: Bank Xeo crepe, fried chicken, and banana leaf branzino. Service was excellent.
Hannah: Favorite restaurant in nyc. Get the fried chicken app, crispy snapper, branzino, crab fried rice. You can’t go wrong—everything’s phenomenal
Polina Weitz: Delicious cocktails, fun decor and great service. The hamachi and the crab fried rice were superb, other dishes were ok. The acoustic is very loud, hard to keep a conversation.

Udon Restaurant · SoHo · 39 tips and reviews
John Colglazier: Chikara Hot Udon was great! Start with the Edamame and finish up with the Green Tea Tiramisu, you won’t regret it!
Alexander Fang: This place is a must if you love udon. The noodles have the perfect bounce. The place is larger than its East Village counterpart, but getting a table can take just as long.
Megan Soh: No better feeling than having the ja ja cold udon on a hot summer day. Don’t skip the side dishes—I could eat the mackerel sushi every day.

The Corcoran Group: Well worth the wait (and you'll need to wait since they don't take reservations). The service is impeccable and the sushi is extremely fresh and tasty.

227 Centre St (at Grand St), New York, NY
Thai Restaurant · SoHo · 41 tips and reviews
David 🎉 Laster: Larb is delicious, isan sour sausage, Tom Kha Gai soup
Noah Weiss: The trade here is mediocre ambiance and Instagram unworthy food plating for authentic, spicy as hell Thai food at half the price of Uncle Boon's. It's a great new option.
Eater: This new-ish Thai restaurant focuses on sharp flavors like fish sauce, hot chiles, tamarind, etc. It explores the mix of Laotian and Siamese cuisines in a way unseen before. Try the Sai Krog Isan. Read more.

CREATETHE GROUP: For some odd reason you'll see fashion editors, creative directors and downtown artists here which creates an interesting vibe. This place rules just for the food and staff. -Diana

265 Canal St (Broadway), New York, NY
Ramen Restaurant · SoHo · 7 tips and reviews
Hannah Lee: Delicious ramen noodle soup 😋 This place is the best, particularly on cold winter days. Kuro-Obi fulfills large orders very quickly and can even separate noodles from soup if need be!
Christina Chin: Kuri obi duh. To go and smaller portion i think but still good for ramen to go. Chashu is melt in ur mouth and service is quick
Kim B.: Broth is way too oily and not that tasty, just like Ippudo
