    This place is being talked about a lot in the North East. Transformed from club, to steak house to…read morethai in the last 12-18 months there has been some major works going on both inside and out! The building has always been impressive with three floors and raised seating the owner has outdone himself with huge trees and twinkling fairy lights. The food and drinks menu has been well thought out, clear and concise its not huge but I like the idea that they have picked a few dishes that they will do very well! The service in here started off a little on the shaky side having seated someone else in our seats we were a bit unnerved to see them move people for the the last booth in the raised area. Although it was explained those seating areas were for food only and the people who were moved were only having drinks... Moving swiftly on we were talked through the menu on what was a suitable amount for starter and main etc. We ordered a selection of starters to share; the prawn dynamite sushi was tasty although reading the menu you would think you get a selection of the six offered you do have to choose one as it is handmade to order - nice touch! Next was the spring rolls with duck which were very good with more flavour than your ordinary vegetable variety! My favourite was the pork and prawn dim sum -arriving in a basket to keep them warm they were amazing! Cooked to perfection the rice paper was thin and the pork went so well with the fish. Served with a very hot chilli dip it gave it the kick it needed! Next was the tricky decision between the thai red curry or the monkfish. On recommendation I went for the monkfish (which isn't explained on the menu in detail but is in fact small bites of fish breaded!) served with rice or chips. The curry sauce dip on the side was refreshing and light and the sticky rice came served in the lotus leaf -again a nice touch! I wouldn't normally have went for a fish dish but the waitress had excellent knowledge of the menu which I liked! We finished the meal off with some coconut ice cream and some sake - again something I hadn't tried. Served in a jug and warmed through it was good - definitely worth giving it a go! With one final cocktail for the road - the Guava Royale is one I would recommend I will definately be coming back to try my thai curry! 5* for service - from drinks to food tips and a great atmosphere for a relaxed evening out!

    I've been coming here for 2 year and the food is very nice. I would like them to use less salt on…read morethe food. The chef ‍ is Asian so food very authentic. The sea bass with ginger and scallion was my fav! It's no longer on the menu but other special are just as good. The specials are great to try during lunch too. I the giant Buddha in the restaurant and ambiance is great!

    I had no idea this place existed, but we found it on a random Friday night while hanging around…read moreJesmond. Easy to get in, even on a Friday without booking, though there were plenty of other patrons around. Interior is very swanky for Newcastle - looks like the kind of place you find in a much bigger city. You don't need to dress up, but you certainly good. A stylish, dimly light atmosphere with colourful touches all around. I started with a cocktail, the delicious (and pretty big!) Sohe Collins, which has rose-petal infused gin, elderflower syrup, rose soda water, and lemon juice, and is basically everything I like in a drink. So pretty and pink too! £6.95 for that, so quite good price really given the size and the hand-crafted nature of it. Took a while for the drinks to come, but they are all unique and clearly somebody is thoughtfully preparing them behind the bar. The three of us split the fried squid and soft shell crab for a starter, along with prawn crackers. These were £5.50 and £8 respectively. All were very lightly breaded and fried, maintaining a crisp exterior, and served with variety of yummy sauces and even a seasoned salt to sprinkle over. Attention was certainly paid to presentation, with all the dishes looking beautiful on the plate. Then I went with the North Thai Yellow Chaing Rai, a curry with breaded pork, prawns, spinach, edamame, and green beans. It was a bright yellow curry, not terribly spicy, a very big portion! For £16.50 you'll be very full, I couldn't finish it. I found it a bit salty, but all the vegetables were fresh, the meats were cooked very well, and the presentation was lovely. Everyone found their meals very tasty, it's definitely a cut above your average restaurant. Tone down the salt, and it would be even better! Service was friendly, and it's a great place to go for a slightly more upscale night out.

    Sohe felt like a very classy dining experience on both occasions I went there. The service was very…read moregood, the food was both well presented and incredibly tasty, and the cocktails were beautifully presented. The ambience in sohe is spot on, with dim lighting and well set out tables. I dislike places where you are seated very close to a strangers table but this didn't happen here. The prices aren't cheap here with the average dining experience, when having a starter, main and two drinks, will cost you between £20-£60. I would say it is worth the price though.
