Soul Food Thai

An authentic Thai restaurant in the heart of Soho in Central. The food was authentic and delicious! We ordered the Soft Shell Crab Pad Thai, Chicken Satay, and Veggie Red Curry with a side of Jasmine Rice. Portion sizes were alright, although it was on the pricier side. They did gift us a mango sticky rice which I really wanted to order, but I was just too full so I was very thankful for their lovely service! I do wish there was a set lunch menu which would allow me to come back more often. However for lunch in Central it was really good! Also with the open kitchen, it does get a bit loud/noisy when the chef has to cook something fried in the wok so it makes it difficult to talk over the noise.

It's a small place, I think only a 30 seater restaurant. The food was good. We tried the chef set menu because we don't know what we want for a group of 7 people. Was pleasantly surprised with the fired fish. The desserts of coconut ice cream and mango sticky rice was exceptional especially after eating a lot of different courses. The service was great as the wait staff were very attentive. Good cocktails and food.

This portion of each dishes was enough for 2 person. I love the Pad Thai, the lamb curry and the Tum Yum Goong. However, the spicy papaya salad was too spicy for me and I drank 2 glasses of fresh coconut water finally. For dessert, the Homemade Coconut Icecream was so AMAZING!!!!!! Lucky the staff recommended it for us! The restaurant atmosphere was relaxing and casual, which I thought was nice.

Came here for the dessert and got both the coconut ice cream and mango sticky rice - both combined were delicious and we highly recommend it! I've been here before for dinner in 2018, and I remember the food being amazing. The service was fantastic as the employees are down to earth and easy to talk to.

Soul Food Thai is a member of the Black Sheep restaurant group. This is a casual and nicely decorated place dishing out traditional Thai dishes along Elgin Street in the heart of Soho. Opening hours are 6pm to 11pm(ish) daily. Seating are is a bit small so best to reserve a table in advance if dining on weekends. During our visit, we first tried their special Beef Tartar Thai Style served with lettuce cups. This was a very good starter. Beef tasted great and was very well flavoured. The is a recommendable dish but quite hot so be ready with beer or cocktail if you order this one. For mains we had the Green Chicken Curry that was mildly spicy and flavourful. Would have preferred more green chilis to give the curry a bit of a kick. Otherwise, this was a good serving, tasted as expected. The Tum Yam Goong was very good. The lemongrass and galangal really stood out, creating a delicious soup. Prawns and other ingredients were fresh and tasty. This was the better of the two mains on the night. Bangkok Bast*rd (Thai version of an Old-fashioned) an the lemongrass Daiquiri were good cocktails enjoyed on the evening. We'd reorder both. In the end, we were happy with our meal at Soul Food Thai. This is another good restaurant by the Black Sheep group and a place we will happily revisit when in the mood for good Thai cuisine.

The service is very good. I tried the fried crab rice$148, Drunkard’s noodle $168,Stir fried morning glory$78,Mango sticky rice $78, Thai iced tea$48 The fried crab rice is ok, not too oily. Drnkard noodle is very tasty however overly spicy, the taste is good but I just can’t handle it. The morning glory is very tasty, it is juicy and soft. While the sticky rice with mango is generally good. The Thai iced tea is quite nice, with nice aroma of tea. Overall it is ok.

Enjoyed our dinner at this lovely Thai restaurant. I have to mention that Amber was amazing. She helped us get a table as soon as she could as we went without reservation. It is not the first time we've seen her hospitality. I believe she was at Colombo previously and gave us similar great experience. Loved the beef curry and banana salad. Will definitely visit again.

It is an cute place with fresh Thai Food. The staff is super nice and passionate to introduce the food and their series of restaurants. The environment is clean and the vibes is chilling. Strongly recommended their chicken satay, which is well-roasted! Also the coconut ice cream, which is perfect with salted palm sugar caramel!

Due to covid, we ordered soul food via black sheep delivery app. The food is pretty good and I think the price is a little lower than usual as well due to covid. We waited around an hour for our delivery which is not bad. The food is pretty good but I won't say it is the best in Hong Kong - there are more options to choose from. Looking forward to try it in the house and hopefully it will change how I feel about the food as well!

Some (maybe if you're American) might consider this place a misnomer as they're a Thai restaurant and not southern soul. The trendy interior is definitely getting paid for with the pricey food offerings- for lunch we spent about $60USD. I did enjoy what we had, though. I highly recommend the crab fried rice which comes with two sauces. One is a seafood sauce, the other is green, almost like a pesto- either way, they both taste great when mixed together with the rice. The pad Thai with deep fried soft shell crab was very Instagram-worthy, and I also liked the crispy chicken massaman curry- though I still think Thai Basil in Pacific Place does a better massaman curry. Service was friendly, and we even walked away with some pieces of hard caramel candy for a sweet ending!

Yeaaahhhhh, why are those fried onion things on everything? Like, I'm an American, we love fried things, and even I was all: is this some sort of joke? Do you think this is funny? Do you?! So let me paint the picture for you. Take you on a culinary journey. No, no, keep reading, use that attention span you had before the internet ruined it. I swear it's gonna be worth it. (It's not gonna be worth it.) My co-worker and I decided to mainly go with the recommendations of the server that evening ... and share, cause you know how women can possibly be a bit indecisive at dinner time. Our selection: chicken wings, banana salad, and the snapper curry. My co-worker LOVED the chicken wings. I think she even got annoyed when I didn't like them--like fine, more for me, you crazy b*tch. It was just too much. I had pasta the night before, and the Carb Devils were taunting me. I could feel them swarming, readying for the sacrifice--one won't hurt you!! Muahahaha. The wings were heavily breaded with fried oniony things on top. I swear, I saw a little devil sprinkle their evil "funions" on our appetizer out of the corner of my eye. I took a bite and everything had this dry, crunchy texture that made me sad. And desperately scan the table for water. Was there even a chicken involved? Yes, there it was, buried beneath a barren desert of saliva eviscerating crunchies. Am I being dramatic? Yes. But I was dying for the salad to arrive. Upon first bite of the banana-whatever-it's-called salad, all I tasted was the exact same crunchy onion shard. I kind of died inside. Have you ever just really wanted a fresh flavor in your mouth? Like really craved something new up in your taste buds? Of course you have, 74% of men said they'd cheat on their partners if they knew they could get away with it. Ok, ok, 68% of women said the same. (This according the first link I clicked after a google search.) So then came the snapper, and I was extremely excited. Finally, something without fried onion bits! Hallelujah! Rejoice! I made it out of Carb Hell. Wouldn't you know that SOB fish was fried too. Dammit all to hell, where am I, Kentucky? Lord help me, I heard faint sounds of menacing laughter coming from the shadows. Those little devils had it in for me. I've never been so mad at fried food before, and this from a woman who maps out food stalls before hitting up her local state fair. *** Notes to the reader: I most likely do not have an eating disorder, but just a real fear of high triglycerides. Also, my co-worker thinks I'm insane and loved everything on the table.

Rough opening. I've been to the original Soul Food in BKK so when this opened I couldn't wait to try it. This is a Black Sheep Restaurants joint so the Bangkok experience + it being owned by a group that does restaurants so well, I had high expectations. The service was ok, you could tell they were brand new when 1. The waiter read off the entire menu as his "must try's" 2. We got resistance to sitting closer inside vs outside (it was hot) and the entire restaurant was still empty. Drinks: the coconut water has chunks of the outside coconut - not exactly appetizing. The special bourbon Thai basil drink tasted like sugar. So sweet, I can't imagine anyone liking this other than a 16 year old who's never had alcohol. The pinot noir tasted like it had been open for days. At least the servers kept our waters full? Food: the most disappointing of all. The mango salad was probably the best I've had in Hong Kong as the flavor was on point but the little shrimps were SO hard I thought they were rocks. Duck soup tasted literally, like a duck soup and not much else. The Fish cooked in a banana leaf was decent but nothing special. Pork belly and crab curry were both bland and unmemorable. Overall, everything just felt lacking in authentic Thai flavor. We ended up getting a second dinner down the street. Hope they can spice things up a bit more as they work out the kinks. Note: no reservations.
