How might one describe the sentiment of this review?
Let me start by saying my husband and I have been OBSESSED with Chef Johnny Chu since the days he stood in front of an open flame in a 6ft open kitchen in a little 900 sq ft house on 3rd St known as "Fate". We have been to most of his other restaurants after the tragic end of the Fate era, but have not been as satisfied. Until last night.... when we finally had a chance to step into Sochu House. Walking in, we were a little intimidated by the soft neon lights and huge sheets of hanging white cloth (we had just come from a movie and were in the very definition of casual attire). It took a minute to be seated because the wait/host staff could not see us standing in front from behind some of that stated white cloth, but once seated we were quickly brought menus and cucumber water. I asked about the reverse happy hour I saw on the website from 10:30pm-close, but apparently that was only offered in the bar. Our waiter did offer to move us to some chaise lounges available in the bar area, but we decided a proper table was necessary to stuff our starving faces at the point. We ordered: Wasabi Soy Chicken and Friend Tofu tapas and the House Dynamite with chicken entree (this was our favorite at Fate). I held onto a menu because of the warnings of small portions from other reviews, and from our experience at Sens (his other tapas-style restaurant), I figured we might still be hungry after these 3 choices. Surprisingly, these portions were pretty darn big and very filling! We walked out of there with a $50 bill (after drinks) and FULL, happy bellies! We were especially please to find Johnny's home cooked goodness style we fell in love with at Fate had made a return at Sochu House. Before we had even finished our meal, we were saying how we could not wait to come back again!...Available choices: a. negative b. positive I think the answer is
