Soho Asian Bar & Grill

Soho Asian Bar & Grill sits on NE 29th Avenue in the pocket of Aventura that has become something of a kosher restaurant row, and it fills a specific niche within that: kosher Asian food that spans Chinese, Japanese, and American style dishes without treating any one of them as the token option. The restaurant runs under Pas Yisroel supervision on the meat side, which allows it to serve a full sushi bar alongside wok cooked entrees and steaks, a combination that is genuinely harder to find at a kosher establishment than at a standard restaurant, since kosher kitchens usually specialize narrowly.

The space itself is sized for groups, with roughly 150 seats indoors and another 120 outside, and the restaurant leans into that capacity with a regular schedule of catering and private events on top of its normal dinner service. That kind of seating count also explains why Soho Asian works well for the kind of large family gatherings, simchas, and community events that are a steady part of life in Aventura’s Orthodox Jewish community, where finding a kosher venue that can seat a big group and still deliver a varied menu is not a given.

On the drink side, the bar carries an extensive selection of kosher wines and cocktails, which again is a smaller list of options than a non-kosher bar has to draw from, so a restaurant that puts real effort into that program stands out among kosher establishments. The hours run late into the night through the middle of the week and into the weekend, closing Friday for Shabbat and reopening Saturday evening after Shabbos ends, a schedule that follows the observant community’s calendar rather than a standard restaurant clock.

Soho Asian Bar & Grill sits essentially next door to its sister business, Soho Kosher Deli, at an adjoining address on the same block, and the pairing gives the neighborhood two different kosher dining options, a full service sit down restaurant on one side and a deli counter on the other, both serving the same community. For anyone keeping kosher who still wants a night out with sushi, steak, and a cocktail rather than the more traditional deli or Mediterranean options that dominate a lot of kosher menus, Soho Asian is one of the more distinctive options in Aventura, and its scale means it can comfortably handle everything from a date night for two to a family celebration for well over a hundred.
