Reviews for Soji: Modern Asian in Baton Rouge, LA

The vibe is really nice. It's great for those who love intimate settings or just hanging out with friends. My choice of the... Asian Sticky Ribs was delicious, the sushi was ok not really a big burst of flavor that I would hope. My daughter enjoyed herDrunken Noodles and has deemed this restaurant as being placed on her Fav's list. The new owner is such a gem and so welcoming.We enjoyed our visit during what was one of the busiest days of Government St. "White Lights". She gave it a 9/10 only becauseone of the drinking glasses had food residue, but other than that it was good. Read more

Very limited parking so I would recommend carpooling! Love the decor and the vibe. We went for Ladies Night for their $20... special which was such a great deal. Service was great, our server was very patient with us and knew a lot about the menu. Foodwas pretty good but definitely on the expensive side on their normal priced menu. Highly recommend a reservation as we wereseated almost immediately after checking in. Read more

This is a great date night spot. More of an adult environment. No kids menu and wasn't many kids when we went so probably not a... place for younger children. As far as the menu goes, we tried the chef dumplings and they were pretty good. Our favorite thingon the menu is the Ramen. They have some amazing Beef Ramen. The meat was so good, I added chili oil to give it a bit of spiceand it was amazing. Will definitely go back just for that, though next time I'm leaving the kids at home. Read more

One of my favorite restaurants. Slammin Salmon, mapo cauliflower, crunchy roll, chef dumplings, Brussel sprouts and calamari,... everything is delicious. Read more

Mediocre Asian restaurant with a lot of nice decor. This restaurant has been on my spouses list to try out for a free months so... I figured let’s give it a try. We are both lovers of Asian inspired foods. Upon arrival the parking lot is super small. Ilooped around twice and went down the street to park. Wasn’t a fan to walk to the restaurant in the heat but I had worseexperiences with parking at other places. Entering the place the host seemed like she needed some caffeine. She didn’t smileand spoke low. We were seated quickly. The dining tables are close together. The place is loud with everyone packed in onearea talking plus a faded sound of music playing. We really couldn’t hear ourselves talk to one another unless we upped ourvoices a few yelling notches. Service was fast. So fast that the food wasn’t piping hot. The food didn’t seem freshlyprepared. Our waitress was nice and informative on how to eat whatever food was on the menu. We started with the chefdumplings. Five small dumplings (good bite size) to share. The texture was there but it wasn’t hot like normal dumplings wouldhave been. The flavor was more sweet with little heat. Entrées. I had the chicken tsoji which is suppose to be like chickentso. I got the dish because it always a safe dish for me to try out a new Asian restaurant. The chicken was sweet again littleheat no peppers in it and no real Asian vegetables. The fried ride wasn’t mixed well and not rooted into the meal. My spousegot two rolls, which they said was delicious. The miso soup is a bowl of dark miso lots of sodium, it didn’t seem it was mixedwell with a broth or anything. Overall experience was more of a drinking restaurant then a dining restaurant. The drinking menuis quite lengthy. This place seems more of a casual get together and pre gaming before going out. I don’t recommend firstdating here or celebrating intimate mile stones. But if you don’t care about food to much and prefer to drink your dinner gofor i Read more

I've visited this place twice and both times I've had pleasant experiences. They cater to vegans and can easily modify items in... the menu to meet the needs. The staff is super polite, the food is great, and the ambience is top notch. Definitely recommend! Read more

This place has been on my list for a while and I finally made it! It was definitely worth the wait! The service was amazing and... the food was awesome as well. Our waiter was super helpful! He made suggestions, explained the different dishes and and alsoanswered our questions. He was super attentive and checked on us constantly! We went during happy hour to take advantage of thedrink an appetizer specials so I started off with the mai tai which was really good!! The balance of alcohol and flavor wasperfect for my taste. The appetizers we got were the the Szechuan chicken And the tempura shrimp roll. The Szechuan chickenwas very flavorful . I especially loved the pickles that came with them. We also had the tempura shrimp roll which was asexpected. I ordered the beef ramen which was okay but I got it with the miso butter by our waiter’s recommendation and Ithink that ruined it for me but I liked the beef. The broth wasn’t super hot which also made it a little less enjoyable. Myguest had the general tsoji chicken and I tried it and it was reeeaaally good!! I’d definitely recommend that if you get it atChinese restaurants. We also got two different desserts, the lemon pie and the eggrolls which came with two flavors, apple pieand cheesecake. They were my favorite!!! The lemon pie was good too, especially if you like key lime pie. If you look at thepictures the presentation was really nice too. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely return! Our waiter’sname was Zack, I think but he was amazing!! Read more
