Explanation:

- The original phrase "quite the cheap" is incorrect. In English, we use "quite a" before singular noun phrases to convey the idea of somewhat or fairly.

- Option 4 - quite a cheap: This is correct. The phrase should be "quite a cheap restaurant" to grammatically convey that the restaurant is somewhat or fairly cheap.

- Option 1 - so a cheap: Incorrect because "so" should not be followed by "a" in this context.

- Option 2 - so the cheap: Incorrect, "so the" is not used in this context related to expressing amounts or extent.

- Option 3 - No substitution: Incorrect, as the original phrase is grammatically incorrect.
