Omg I don't know where to start the food was excellent and staff was great . We had sushi upstairs along w happy hour and went downstairs for dinner and had dirty fried rice w a side of spicy Mayo and I believe the deep fried crab dumplings . I can't wait to go back read more

Great new little spot to have sushi and other little finger foods! We sat at the bar and were well taken care of ans had a delicious meal!

This place is so good! My wife and I have been twice and haven't had one thing we didn't think was amazing.

I'm not sure what's better the service or food! You can't lose here, no matter what your dietary restrictions are! The servers went above and beyond and marked up a menu for what I could or could not eat (I'm vegan) had a fabulous glass of yummy wine and now I'm waddling out with a full belly! Will 100% return and highly recommend! Eat local y'all read more

Awesome food and spot. Fills a major gap in memphis food! Great bar upstairs and nice ambience inside read more

It's weird starting a restaurant review talking about the music, but it was so ridiculous and will be what I remember about this place. They play head banging music that is WAY too loud. When we asked the waitress about it, her response was "yeah, you're not the first table to mention it". It wouldn't matter if the food was terrific (which it isn't), we will not go back. Now for the food. It's just ok. Tiny portions. Rather basic and bland. The service was good. Soy/Salt is a hot spot right now. Post Covid everyone is itching to get out and try something new. Their timing on opening is the only thing they have going for themselves. It won't last. read more

Got turned around as soon as we walked in. Considering this establishment closes at midnight and the kitchen is already closed is a bit concerning. There was no indication of the kitchen closing early and there were still a ton of people in the kitchen at the time. There are also varying accounts of information on when this establishment closes (google says 10, yelp says midnight). I will change my rating once the opportunity presents itself to actually sit down and eat. read more

I am not Anthony Bourdain but I have had my fare share of cuisine varieties from all over the world. From many places; Brazil, California, NY, Chicago, Atlanta, Texas, Florida, Seattle, Mexico, and many other places. I must suggest to the owners that in order to make this dining experience a better one for customers they should, first and foremost, call this place a tapas place.The portions are extremely small to be called dinner or lunch plates. I ordered the salmon sashimi (I've ordered this from many places around the world and was always served a portion of 5 or more pieces typically with wasabi and soy sauce on the side) and this was not provided...there were only 3 pieces in a watered down sauce I did not care for. My parents ordered dirty martinis which came in two different glasses (one a wine glass and one liqueur glass) and NOT martini glasses which demonstrated the lack of knowledge of the serving staff when it came to a fine dining experience. At an asian fusion sushi type place (what this restaurant was listed as) one expects that upon ordering rice they are going to get white japanese rice and my mother was served indian rice with her small pork portion.The creamy crab cakes also only came in 3 pieces. In conclusion, this was not a dinner this was a tapas/snack place. It's extremely over priced (the total came out to over 130 plus tip) and I only had a coke as there was no tea available. May I also state that we tried to make reservations and we also tried calling and we were not able to contact anyone from the restaurant. Upon arrival the hostess stated that reservations were closed but she would see if she could find us a table. Also in the time of covid and other germs going around it is not at all appropriate to use a dirty rag to wipe down tables especially during dining! (which our waiter did) read more

Food tasted great, and there's plenty of items that are very unique. Geared towards small plates, so you'll want to order more than just a couple dishes. We got the Fried Chicken Dumplings, Dirty Rice Bowl, XO Eggplant, and Tempura Fried Okra. Great atmosphere and service. Also has a cool bar upstairs! Highly recommend. read more

Great drinks, great service, bad food. Got mushroom dumplings which were small and deep fried and had no texture to the filling, tasted like mush and some sauce. Someone recommended the spinach and tofu-- the sauce was way too sweet. I have no idea what they were going for here. The sushi was decent. I did see a guy I previously worked with who was the only other Asian I saw working at the restaurant (never a great sign at an Asian fusion place). The fish with miso sauce was pretty good, but again, way too sweet for no reason. I did love the dessert, especially the sesame brittle! I have no idea what y'all are going for food wise, but its not the greatest. Probably won't come back again as our small plates dinner was pretty expensive and unsatisfying. read more

i really enjoyed dinner here. i had the sweet caroline cocktail which was really refreshing and a glass of rose. the himachi with brown butter sauce was my favorite dish. that sauce actually made it one of my favorite memphis dishes. the kamala sushi roll was great and i loved the carrots. the service was attentive. read more

See all

Honestly this place was super underwhelming. The food lacked seasoning, especially the shrimp dish. I definitely felt like I spent too much to be hungry when I left. read more

My girlfriend and I met some friends here and they wouldn't let us in to get out of the cold because they were at "capacity". Its 30 degrees outside and they wouldn't let us inside to wait for friends to come out. 3/10. Place looks cool I guess. read more

This is a decent place to eat. It has a Asian-southern fusion menu that works in some spots, but not in others. My wife and I really came here because it had a patio that was dog friendly. Our kids had stuff to do, and we got stuck with the pooch. We were determined to go out to eat, though. We started off ordering some appetizers, which included some chicken and dumpling potstickers. They sounded interesting, but they fell flat. The dumpling was dry and chewy, and the gravy had no flavor. The pork potstickers were better, but not a repeat. My wife had the spicy lobster udon. I tasted it, and it was decent. They put too much red pepper in it. I love spicy food, but not when it overwhelms the essential flavor of the dish. I ordered the chicken skewers. They were pretty good, but not particularly flavorful. I also ordered the beef skewers. Same. Overall, this place is a good effort. The service is very good, and they even brought our dog some water. I love the restaurant concept and location, so I'm hoping the food will evolve in the right direction. I'll be back to check! read more

Ordered take out a few times during their pop up at Alchemy and tried a little of everything. The food was awesome. Went again last weekend with another couple and the food was SUPERB! Our server went through the menu and explained dishes and gave recommendations for the couple that was with us, as they have never been before. We ordered the Wild Mushroom Gyoza (my favorite starter), carrots (these things just sing on your tongue when you bite into them), Crab Udon (my first experience with Udon, I definitely prefer their very flavorful Ramen because the broth is sooo good), Surf and Turf Sushi Roll (I have been craving this every day since I tasted it) , Lash LaRue Sushi Roll (fantastic) and the Salmon Crudo. We really wanted to try the Salt Shrimp but it was a late reservation and they were out of it. The cocktails were on point (Sweet Caroline is a must) and we hung out upstairs until our table was ready. You definitely need to make reservations (resy.com makes it easy) several days in advance. The concept is great, the service is great, the food spectacular and I am SO excited to see a new restaurant thriving after the year the industry has suffered! TRY IT! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! read more

we really enjoyed our experience! the drinks were on point and the food came out super fast. our server kept our waters full even as it got busy during the friday night dinner rush. definitely worth checking out! read more

1st time here and found no reason to give less than 5 stars. Looked to be fully staffed, wait staff was great, clean and comfortable, they made our party of 5 comfortable when we didn't want a high top table. Tried different types of food and all were great. Recommend the Wrestler and Lash Larue in sushi, salmon sashimi. Definitely will go back. read more

I really wanted to love this place, but ended up meeting par. It is tapas style so you have to order several plates to feel satisfied--plates of which are overpriced IMO for the serving size. Overall, it was good but not great. Definitely not something I'm raving to go back about. I wouldn't go for sushi or their ramen--if anything it'd be a good place for drinks and small Asian-style plates. read more

visited Salt/Soy this past Friday night. Looking for a great dinning experience ,and outdoor dinning i was HIGHLY Disappointed. the wait was only 5 minutes before we were seated outside, but the food took at least 45 min. we had 3 orders and they were brought one at a time with at least 25 minutes between. Ordered the fried rice, the eggplant, and the chilli crab udon; so needless to say we Shared each meal. That wasn't the plan at ALL! If you weren't on high blood pressure medication before coming to this restaurant, you CERTAINLY needed it afterwards. The Salt in the food was UNBERABLE! You could not taste any of the flavors. I do blame myself because just the name itself "SALT/SOY was a Huge clue .The server Danielle was as nice as she could be and we tipped her for her kindness and customer service, the disappointment was Not her fault. So just to let you this is my feelings about SALT/SOY and we'll Never visit there again. Thank you for letting me share my experience. read more

New restaurant, but my experience was flawless as if it had been in operation for years. A perfect fit for the Broad Avenue neighborhood. I had the pork belly skewer and the spinach and tofu. Everything was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The bartender, Austin, made me a perfect cocktail and GM Kat and server Allison were incredibly hospitable and knowledgable. Would be lovely for a dinner with friends, date night, or snacks and cocktails before dinner. I can't wait to come back to check out the upstairs bar. Highly recommend. read more
