Sohe

In Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne, Sohe sets a stylish scene where bold interiors and a relaxed rhythm turn dinner into an occasion. The room hums with energy and bright chatter; it is as well suited to date nights as it is to student celebrations. Here, vibrant flavours and crafted cocktails take centre stage.

The kitchen roams across Asia with confidence, pairing delicate notes with heady spice. Graze on small plates like bang bang cauliflower, crispy duck bao buns and Korean sticky ribs, or pause over slivers of fresh salmon sashimi. Generous sharing platters invite a little table theatre, priming the palate for the main event.

Comfort meets craft in bowls of chicken katsu curry and fragrant Thai green curry, while Malaysian coconut and king prawn curry brings rich, silken warmth. Noodle lovers will recognise the pull of Pad Thai and salt and pepper beef noodles, and there is room for modern twists too, from teriyaki salmon to a sirloin steak. The menu even detours into Tex-Mex fajitas and smokehouse grills, with many dishes customisable by protein.

The bar keeps pace with a bustling cocktail list: think Yuzu and Watermelon, the cheeky sparkle of Let's Get Fizzical, and faithful classics from mojito to margarita, plus a well-stocked back bar of vodkas, gins and beers. Settle in for dinner, then stroll on to Osborne Road, or simply stay for another round. Book in, bring friends, and make a night of it.
