Soy Asian Restaurant

The restaurant is very stylish and unique for Qatar, BUT...the main dish I had ordered was terrible. I had the crab corn soup which was great, then I ordered a noodle dish with chicken and shrimp (sorry can't remember the name), definitely not good.

With all do respect to kuwari316.
First you sound like it's your own restaurant or something.
Second, how can someone who does NOT like seafood then order seafood!!???(although I love seafood)
If I don't like seafood I will not order it that's one thing! The other thing I thought you said the food is good! so sea food also should be good right? or is it the only thing that is not their specialty??
In fact I didn't order seafood at that time coz I know not place is good at it so I thought ill take very simple dishes that no Asian restaurant can miss or cant know how to make properly!but yet it was totally horrible!
What's worse that it too 2 waters to understand what I wanted and couldn't even answer my question about some of the dishes they have! It sounded like they have just seen the menu for the first time with me!
Not to mention the ridiculous unnecessary expensive menu!
Believe me my friend I know how Chinese and Asian cuisines taste like and I have probably been to Asian restaurants all around the world more than you can even count!
It's a very nice place to sit in and probably have a drink or a snack! but they cant claim that they are the best or even average! Their food quality is FAR away from that.
I always give new restaurants a second chance but this one gave me the feeling that I really don't want to come back and dine there again ever or till something major happens or they get real Chefs !I'm sorry!

Have visited the restuarant twice - different occassions and both were excellent, value for money, first class service, friendly and welcoming, superb choice of cuisine - I am trying to book again for another corporate special occassion.

I forgot to post my own review. When I was there I ordered fried calamari and seafood sizzlings..I would highly recommend that for anyone!! Both dishes were very tasty !! And they weren’t pricy for seafood!

My friend loves sushi and she says they serve good sushi there.. a variety actually..

The staff were veryyy friendly too..

I am not the owner and I enjoyed the food... I payed the bills like anyone else and it was well worth it am going to go again for sure

so my friend and i had to see for ourselves why almost all our friends are gushing with excitement at this place.turns out that not only did i get to eat good but i also was treated well by their staff.
must try is the green mango salad.its too die for.i also recommend that you order their calamares...yummy...
one more thing,i adore...j'adore their ambience and their silverware.it soo classy.
all in all im going there again this thursday,to try their sushi boat-as i am dying for japanese.
j'adore soy asian,till next thursday

I have been once invited by my friends to SOY, and it was a nice experience.Soy is a nice place for fine dining, the interior is exellent, you have private rooms where you can have business or family dinners without getting disturbed by other guests or disturbing them, great place to have a snack or tea , specially coming hot summer evenings...It is a new restaurant , friendly staff but there is a big BUT. It is not a chinese restaurant, might be asian, or asian style dining, they have to employ a chinese chief or a chief who has experience in chinese food...

Great place and food. Enjoyed a good chineese meal after a long time.

In fact i tried Soy-Dubai at Ibn battuta mall, and lots of other chinese stuff in Lebanon, States and Europe, but this restaurant was my Worst ever.
The soup tasted like [Mod Removed], the waitress only speaks TAGALO, even she didn't understand what rice noodles is. I believe that changing the status of this restaurant into a Cheap one would be better.
By the way when i was there i was ALONE.

The resto is a surprise, we went there for dinner and it was to my surprise that the resto is so big, the interior is nice, too. We got a table by the window.

The food is so-so, very standard. I have not been to any other chinese resto in Doha, so I could not compare it. But I have tasted better chinese food before...

The waiters are nice, they help us with the stroller (going up and down the stairs) but I think some of them do not really speak English. I ask about the menu and they were speachless. Maybe they need to be trained again. Oh, and there are so many of them, and not so many of guest at the time. Well, it is always good to have extra service...

Food is average,service is below average and the Manager should be replaced.

After reading comments from others, good and bad, we gave the place a try last weekend.

Indeed quite a large place with interesting nice decor but unfortunately the quality of food wasnt anywhere near our expectations.. Dont take me wrong, it was certainly quite edible but not really worth the money..

Strifried noodles were gooey, grilled chicken was first class, prawns in sweet n sour sauce were more sweet than sour, mocktails were good, nassi goreng just passable with bits of underdone rice!! Incidentally asking suggestion from the guy serving on us didnt do any help as he was as unaware about the food they serve as we were!

Seemingly it is a fusion resto and not really a south-east asian or chinese one and so I guess lovers of fusion cuisine may like the food..

Don't go for the sushi buffet. Terrible.

The restaurant is ridiculous. Massive but with no ambiance at all. Also there is no "no smoking" section despite the enormous size of the place.

Staff are, in true doha style, comepletely untrained and clueless.

Avoid. Much nicer places in Souk Waqif

hello their!!
wel i would like that ive been in this restaurant more than once!!
each time i find something new in t..
the food and decoration are great wish we have more in qatar..

i would like that some of the users dont write anything or the compatators use this site for their own interest!!

well this what makes it more succesfull after all!!

best sushi in town
j'adore the sushi night!can wait for tuesday!

Very dissapointed with this one.. Good ambiance spacious, but food is below average, not authentic at all! DO NOT order the Peking duck unless you are into yucky thick and fat duck skin (not cooked the way it should in other words). Probably an ok place for those who do not know what chinese food should really taste like.

We never saw the interior, just the courtyard, which we loved. The evening was perfect for eating outside, the shisha nearby smelled nice(surprised us all!) and we enjoyed the food. We ordered simple food and simple is good.We stuck to the Chinese menu, lots of veggies, rice and chicken. The service was friendly, not super fast, but we were there to relax, not to hurry away. I found it kind of surreal to be in this gulf country, surrounded by men in thobes, women in headcoverings and watching J Lo and Shakira gyrate, while Jessica simpson did her version of western gyrating in skimpy outfits made more lewd by the way they were airbrushed/censored. I don't think whoever did it realized that an airbrushed thong gives an impression of total nudity. . .In the meantime, I was respectfully wearing my long skirt and a modest sweater top. I am surprised by the things that are on tv and up for public viewing in the souk, but that is kind of OT. We really had fun at the restaurant, and my 9 year old son saw his first music videos:) The tables/decor was charming and inviting and we didn't want to leave. It was the first best time we had in Doha after some hard adjusting to the traffic and malls. Perfect first visit to the souk!

This place really needs a better cook who has a clue.
I have lived in Asia for years and was happy to see that the menu seemed to have a good selection of well known Asian courses.

Not one of them was close to nice. Hardly edible to be honest.

Revamp the cooking and train the staff properly and you will prosper. Like this, this place is as good as dead. I would be very hard pressed to come back.

It was supposed to be a Chinese restaurant as per the category the SOY restaurant is in this website but I think the Manager or the owner has misunderstood their concept. CALAMARI is a culinary treat made of squid that is native to Spanish, Italian, and Greek cuisines that is made of squid. And not even Asian for god sake!!!! Asian Fusion is a mix of East and West cuisines ...example an Asian meal presented as a European presentation and European presented in an Asian meAL presentation .

The place decor is GREAT but the lighting is TOO DARK and I almost tripped when i went to the Toilet. the place lighting should be adjusted ....pricing is too high and the waiters are terrible.
