    Located just behind the Hippodrome, in what was the Gainesville Sun building, Liquid Ginger was recommended to us as a vegetarian friendly place to have dinner. We arrived a little after five and were greeted and seated right away. The decor is modern and fun, with a large bar playing NCAA basketball. Our waiter was polite and attentive, and thankfully was well versed with the menu. Here's the problem, which is a big one: while there is a Vegetarian section on the menu, several of the dishes, including the Pad Thai and Vegetable Udon Noodles are not actually vegetarian, as they contain fish sauce. Thankfully, we asked and our waiter told us which dishes contained "just a little" fish sauce. We both opted for a Singapore Vegetable Noodle dish that he recommended, one that we did not see on the menu. My Thai Iced tea was very good, and the Singapore Vegetable Noodle dish, a curry dish with broccoli, snap peas, and carrots, was perfectly fine. The problem with the menu listing dishes that contain fish under the vegetarian section is a big one, and a deal breaker for me, so despite the excellent service and fun atmosphere, I would not be inclined to go back.

    One of the best sushi restaurants I've been to! Quick and friendly service and great sushi. My friend recommended their foxy lady roll and it did not disappoint. My boyfriend and I also tried a salmon and avocado roll to get our feet wet with raw fish and it was deeeeliciousss! I also got a try a piece of their yellowtail and scallion roll that my friend so graciously shared with me. The chicken fried rice is was good. All the food was well portioned and left our bellies feeling full. The shrimp tempura in the foxy lady roll was nice and crunchy, a little different from other shrimp tempura I've had at other restaurants. If I'm ever in the Gainesville area again I would definitely pass by liquid ginger again.

    The service was great and it wasn't crowded even with a big group. The atmosphere is nice, but a bit dark. My food was really good, not my favorite Thai food ever but still delicious!

    We went here for lunch while in Gainesville. We opted for the lunch specials - sashimi with miso soup and ginger salad (tuna, whitefish, salmon- so delicious) and my daughter did a mix of sushi and rolls- we both liked our options very much. The service was good- I did ask for low sodium soy and they did bring it to me. It is in a cute little area of downtown. I recommend going here for sushi - the fish was fresh and we were both satisfied- even took home the salmon roll!

    Stir Fried Udon Noodles with Beef

    Pretty good Asian place in a cute plaza in downtown Gainesville. I've also passed by liquid ginger when downtown, and it's pretty hard to miss the creepy moon statue outside. I figured I'd finally try it and I had a pretty good experience. The ambiance of the interior was a little gloomy, but it was still cute nonetheless. The wait staff wasn't very quick despite not being busy, but I do not want to hold it against them. I ordered the pad thai and my girlfriend ordered what I believe were the udon noodles with steak. The pad thai was pretty good and on par with other thai or asian places i've had across gainesville. I thought it could have used a little more sauce, but the chicken and the vegetables were all cooked well and still tasty. The udon noodles with steak were decent and the steak and vegetables were cooked pretty well. The main dismay was that the dish was absurdly oily, such that there was a pool of oil on the bottom and the leftovers left a film of oil across the takeout container. The dish was still enjoyable, just a little less oil would've been appreciated. Nonetheless, I'd still recommend trying it out for anything pan-asian or thai fusion as I believe they have a lot to offer. They also have an expansive sushi menu that I didn't get to try, so i'd love to try that too!

    Why does their website send you back to yelp when you click on "reserve now", but there's no reservation feature for this restaurant on yelp?

    I'm not sure what's causing this problem but just give them a call! They are always friendly with making reservations.

    Do they serve libations?

    There's nothing I don't love about this place. It's food and staff are wonderful. It's clean and inviting. I've given this place my highest rating.

    I've been coming to Sohao for years, and it never disappoints! The service is always great, and the…read morefood is so yummy. It can get pretty busy on the weekends, so expect a wait at peak times. I love the Vegetable Dumplings, Hot Dry Noodles, General Tao's Tofu, Salt & Pepper Eggplant, and Sichuan String Beans. The menu is pretty large with plenty of options for vegetarians.

    We visited So Hao Café for the first time and came away with a bit of a mixed experience -- but…read moreoverall, a positive one that definitely has us planning to return. We started with the wonton soup, which was visually beautiful. The broth had a rich, inviting color and the wontons themselves were excellent -- thin, delicate wrappers with a very flavorful filling. Unfortunately, the broth itself was a bit underwhelming and lacked depth. A touch of hot mustard helped bring it to life, but it needed more natural flavor on its own. The standout dish of the meal was the Mu Shu Pork. Absolutely fantastic. The portion was generous and the flavor reminded us of classic Mu Shu from WoHop in NYC's Chinatown -- high praise. The pancakes were incredibly thin, almost paper-like and nearly translucent, yet soft and perfect for wrapping. This dish alone makes us want to come back. The Bang Bang noodles were another dish that looked beautiful when served, but the flavor didn't quite match the presentation. The sauce seemed watered down and there was quite a bit of liquid in the bowl, which muted the overall taste. It felt very close to being great, just not fully there yet. Overall, this was a mixed but promising first visit. There's clearly real skill in the kitchen, and when the flavors hit, they hit well. We will definitely be back and look forward to trying more dishes -- and we'll happily update this review after our next visit.
