Granted it was 40 minutes from closing time on a Sunday, BUT - 2 diners ordered 2 different entrees that should have had very different flavor profiles - both were served hot, coated in sauces that were different in color, but both only very salty. We were too hungry and tired to send them back, ate what we could, drank lots of water, paid and left. Caveat Emptor to others who may consider this "gem". It may be better every other day/time of the week and we just got unlucky. read more

Good cooked to order Chinese restaurant and was very good. Not your typical Chinese buffet. Good quick service also.

Just so so. General Tso's Chicken was good. Moo Goo Gai Pan not so much. Flavorless. Pass on the egg rolls. Lo Mein side was ok but Siracha helped. read more

Stopped in with my son for a quick lunch and we both ordered the luncheon specials with fried rice and egg roll. He had the garlic beef and I had the garlic shrimp which were both adequate in portion size. We also ordered the crab Rangoon appetizer. Our waitress was very nice and super attentive. Other than my entree being a little sweeter than I remember the dish standardly being, the rest of the food was pretty traditional as far as Chinese food goes and my son absolutely loved his eating every last bite. The star here was the yum yum sauce that we requested to dip our egg rolls and used to dip other food into! It was So Yummy! read more

Pretty good food, though several pieces of chicken and beef were very tough. Pretty expensive considering the food and portion sizes. Still a decent place for when you have a craving for Chinese food read more

Their hot and sour soup was delicious! The entree wasn't memorable. The male server was professional and courteous. read more

What a GEM in Murphy! The food was so good! The restaurant it self was spotless upon entry. They had a few outdoor tables, which we would have sat at if it had been day time. We sat in the car a short while before entering the restaurant and I was completely floored by the number of people coming to pick up take out food. We were seated right away, near the fire place. Our server was the only reason this place did not earn 5 stars. Our server, a gentleman with glasses, seemed annoyed at my questions about the menu, and when asked about recommendations, was less than Enthusiastic about giving them. We then ordered an appetizer to start with and ordered our food about 5 minutes later. Unfortunately, our server did not seem to understand "appetizer" and brought everything all at once. My dining partner was unhappy because he did not want to eat the cheese rangoons once his food arrived. Our food portions were huge. I had the pearl shrimp with coconut, as recommended by another yelper. He had the orange chicken with fried rice both were delicious. I highly recommend! We will return! read more

This place is awesome every time. Great food and great service. Above the ordinary! What a great experience

Just passing through for a quick bite and this place did not disappoint. Great food and service!

I had tried leftovers my mother gave to me and, with New Happy Garden gone, I needed a place that made the noodles just as good. Well I ordered so much stuff to try and it was delicious. Found some new faves and I'm already craving another go. The only issue I have is that al the fried rice I bought was inedible, which was sad cuz I ordered extra. It was so bland, dry, and overcooked, which is why I can't give a perfect review. My hope is that it was just a simple mistake and not how they would normally serve their fried rice. So that rice mishap aside, definitely worth it. read more

Really great food :) server was very nice, and sweet to my son. This was a few months back, can't remember her name but she was a sweetheart. Blonde read more

Surprisingly good Chinese food, I'll be honest I figured it would be just OK because it is a small town Chinese joint. Absolutely wrong. They are wonderful. read more

Very clean restaurant! Great food and service, it's a must try place in Murphy NC. Food is fresh and bathrooms are clean. Great prices too!

Ordered take out. Was told 25-30 minutes but was notified within 20 minutes. Easy to order and pick up. Amount of food was huge.. ate for 3 meals! Hubby loved their spring roll and general Tsos chicken so much so we are eating there again within a week! read more

So's food is great! First time visit great experience, I ordered the Singapore curry noodles, cheese Rangoon, hot and sour soup, and an egg roll all very delicious. If you like curry do try the Singapore noodles. read more

I take back all negative things I said about So's...I have yet to experience a restaurant in our area that has stepped up and COMPLETELY changed things around, as much as this establishment has! Every dish we have had as of late has been spot on, quality ingredients, quality service and overall good vibes. Bravo So's...bravo! read more

Friendly servers and very clean. My husband order the Seafood Delight and was very pleased. I ordered the Pearl Shrimp, added coconut as recommended by the server and was also very happy. We will be visiting again! read more

I'd give this 2 1/2 stars. Very, very average. I ate here a year or two ago, and felt like it was ok. Tonight I was really craving Chinese food. I live near Asiano's, and have tried it a couple times, but it's awful. So I decided to make the 30 minute drive to So's. I wish I had saved the gas and time. I ordered hot and sour soup, pork egg foo young, and chicken lo mein. The chicken lo mein was ok, but that's generous - it had a slightly sweet flavor, and that has no place in lo mein.. The egg foo young was pretty good, and the highlight of the meal. The fried rice it came with was dry and flavorless. I assumed it would come with white rice, or they'd ask me what I preferred, but no such deal. But the hot and sour soup was just bad. Had a burnt taste to it, and I couldn't eat it. I had heard from someone else that it had gone downhill. I don't know if it was ever worth the 4 stars it has, but if it was, then indeed it has gone downhill. read more

Great food, excellent service!! They will create a dish off menu for you if they have ingredients...highly recommend

Overall...fair. Food was good. Pricey but no lunch specials on the holiday...New Year's Eve. Nice fella running the front. But really, So's, $9.99 for an order of vegetable fried rice and you can't fill the container up to make it enough for a few to share? Rice is cheap. Not cool and sort of affects how we see the totality of our So's experience. Disappointing. read more

Amazing!! Food is always fresh and good!! Polite and amazing staff. Is also very affordable.

So Good? Just OK... It is buffet food served to you with limited quantity. I was hoping this place was going to be GREAT! I did the spicy chicken. No. Not at all spicy. It was like the General's or orange chicken. The staff just treats you like a another number in a cafateria line. Our two meals were almost 20.00. I was still hungry. You can find me dining a China Town on Tennessee Street next time. They make me feel like a valued customer. read more

Just SO-SO in my opinion. My wife and I ate here yesterday afternoon around 2:30. I got the orange chicken with rice and an egg roll, she got generals chicken with rice and vegetables and 2 cream cheese Rangoons. We both chose ice water. They do not have ice tea. Our bill was right at $18. The food was warm but not as fresh as I hoped for. The ice water was horrible. I would rank this as a middle of the road experience. read more

Very good. Everything we've had has been great except the egg rolls. I will continue to go there.

So's is by far the best Chinese restaurant in Murphy. All of their food is cooked fresh to order and they use fresh ingredients, unlike most Chinese restaurants. I won't get Chinese from anywhere else in Murphy. Staff is very friendly and I've yet to be disappointed since they came out with their full menu. read more

So's Good Kitchen - Mongolian Beef - Chinese Near Me - Murphy, North Carolina

Moved here from South Carolina and looking for a good place for. Chinese. We looked at the menu online and decided to give it a try the prices are really high even in comparison to Hilton Head SC prices. We went and ordered our meal anyway, we bought general tso's, sweet and sour chicken beef lo mein, pork fried, egg drop soup. We were very let down after getting home with our dinner. Everything tasted scorched and not enough sauce on the general tso's chicken VERY LET DOWN $56.00 THROWN IN THE GARBAGE CAN. Would not spend my hard earned money there again. read more
