Two coworkers disagree. 1 claims it is pronounced SO, like sew, this is the one I have always heard. Another says it is pronounced CHOW, who is correct.

it took some work but i got your answer
Pronunciation
The "Tso" in General Tso might be approximated as "zwoh", but correct pronunciation of Mandarin is not necessarily intuitive for English speakers. See Chinese romanization.

Both are wrong....
TSO is pronounced like sao (sow like wow) with a slight z sound when pronouncing the "s", tzsao
