Sophia Asian Restaurant — Restaurant in Fatih

Simply WOW ! We were really looking forward to a change and eating some flavorful and spicy Chinese food in Istanbul. We really really lucked out and found this restaurant.

The google directions were excellent and we got there to have dinner.

This is not a place you go for ambiance. It’s a simple no frills restaurant that serves Uyghur dishes.

There was a very sweet person named Hakan, who explained the menu to us. He spoke some English, but was more than enough for us to make our choices. We wanted to eat a vegetarian meal and we ordered 2 dishes -

wok tossed string potatoes Stir fired beans Since they do not come with rice, we also ordered a bowl of rice.

The portions were generous, the taste was amazing and the food skipped our tummy and touched our soul. We had not eaten such tasty Chinese food in a very long time.

The simplicity of the dishes and the flavors burst into a symphony that produced no conversations between me and my wife, except for the sound of slurping of our food.

We are definitely going back to try a few more dishes before we leave Istanbul.
