50 Best Soup in New York

“This place is amazing! Shea is the best, the heart and soul of Rosella. Shea guides your dining experience so you have the best meal. The avocado roll, sashimi, ceviche, all the big rolls are just amazing! You really can order anything and can expect perfection and perfect flavor combinations. Everything about Rosella is thoughtful and the people who work here are the cherry on top. 100% go!“

“Found this late night gem after seeing Sweeny Todd at the theatre.Unfortunately, the kitchen was going to be closed in half an hour, so we only ordered the House Chicken Fried Rice, Shrimp Dumplings, and Sweet & Sour Pork Ribs. My only complaint is I wished we ordered more before the kitchen closed; it was all delicious!! ??The service was quick. Even the Jasmine tea served had a delicious flavour. We'll have to come back here the next time in NYC.“

“A warm local Georgian place which is owned by a super friendly and easy going owner with a simple but cute decor. The service is also great with the owner happy to recommend the dishes.I wanted to tick off the traditional Georgian dish, Adjaruli Khachapuri. It's basically a bread boat filled with cheese and raw egg yolk. It's a baked dish and is best eaten when hot. One needs to mix the raw egg yolk properly within the cheese and then devour it. The bread was easy to break with crisp sides while the cheese was really creamy and smooth. It basically felt like a better version of NYC cheese pizza minus the marinara, and I would happily choose this one over pizza! The dish is simple, filling and soul satisfying which made me love it. The prices too are pretty decent compared to the neighborhood they are located in.Overall an amazing experience with Georgian food, would definitely come back to try their Khinkali (dumplings) next time!“

“The food was delicious!!!! A friend told me that it would be very spicy, but I didn’t find it to be so. (Definitely had a zip to it but not too extreme) Service was attentive and pleasant. The only downside was the seating. The chairs were more like elementary school short stools. Quite uncomfortable, but I’d definitely go back just for the food!“

“The staff was friendly and it was nice to be able to taste the same Ichiran ramen I had in Osaka. If you set the spiciness level to level 8, it's about as spicy as Shin Ramyun, but eating bone broth with spicy seasoning and rice felt like eating sundae soup haha.It's expensive, but it's worth a visit at least once during your trip.“

“Hands down one of the best authentic Indian food we had in NYC. Everything was so fresh. The owner was very welcoming and truly showcased “atithi devo bhava”. It felt like home. They customized the paneer tikka for my kid and she loved it. Would absolutely visit this place again.. and again.. kudos!!“

“We had a wonderful event at For U, the food is absolutely delicious, I keep thinking about the cucumber salad it’s so crunchy and tastes so good, the sesame noodles are flavorful and so good, delicate and delicious version of that dish, the best I have ever had. And the Peking duck is divine. It’s a wonderful place for a party, they work with you to make it really special. The atmosphere is very relaxing and the space is warm and beautiful. We had a wonderful time and will go back for dinner very soon.Dietary restrictions: Our event served vegan and vegetarian options as well as standard fare“

“I love omakase. I love not having to decide what to eat. This place has multiple locations apparently and opened up near the end of last year. It looked good and I'd been wanting to try it for a while. I'm glad I got the chance. It's a small-ish place. You can either sit at the bar or a table. We sat at the bar and these 2 girls next to us were super loud the whole time. I got the green tea sake, which actually taste like straight green tea and I loved it. I don't remember the name of it. The rest of the courses were pretty standard: uni, sea bream, tuna, wagyu beef, and there was a wagyu beef nigiri but I forgot to take a picture of it. The night ended with this adorable looking dessert which was wafer cookie with ice cream in it. Really nice restaurant, very nice service, not too pricey, and their sake list is pretty extensive. I would go back just for that green tea one.“

“This restaurant opened a couple weeks ago, right next to the Baccarat Hotel ground floor! I have tried many Omakase places, but the chef Anthony Inn served dishes I have never tried. Presentation, Balanced flavor, Texture, Aroma, Execution, all there! Taru has everything from Omakase, Cooked Dishes, and Fantastic Dessert Selections. The Pastry Chef Natsume Aoi is perfection! Her deserts are must try! Also, there's a beautiful bar at the front with a great selection of cocktails, wine, sake, and scotch! The staff is attentive, and I loved the real bonsai tree in the center. I would highly recommend it, so definitely try it!“

“Fast , efficient and excellent service.The best ramen in financial district have to hit up this space every time I visit NYC .Vegetarian options: Vegetarian miso ramen with plenty of veggies and tofu.Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves this place and always ask to come here to eat when we are in town.“

“Great addition to the UES. Excellent food, try the prosuitto, fig and melon appetizer if they have it. The carpaccio was so good and the deserts! The wait staff was very attentive and refilled our water glasses often. The owner was lovely and sweet. I will be back with my family soon.“

“Luke's lobster roll was delicious! The lobster was served fresh in portions of 4 or 6oz on a delicious toasted bun. My sandwich had just the right amount of seasoning and butter. The service was friendly and quick! The restaurant was busy but the waitstaff had it under control. The ambience wasn't much to write about. It was a busy restaurant in New York. But there is seating and the service is good and quick.“

“Caravan Uyghur Cuisine is a locally owned halal restaurant in the heart of FiDi. They offer authentic Uyghur dishes and appetizers. For dinner we ordered the Big Chicken plate and the spicy beef noodles.The quality of the food makes up for the delayed wait time in service. Expect a wait, but the quality of the food is worth it!Dietary restrictions: Halal options available“

“Best bun bo hue I've had in NYC! Good viet food is hard to come by in NY, but this place does it so well. I will 100% be back for more. The family who runs it is very nice and generous as well. Please come here if you love viet food. Amazing.“

“The gomtang is a VERY basic, clear broth soup. Really does not have much taste on its own. I personally like more flavorful foods and added the house special pepper paste, which I thought really elevated this dish and brought it to another level. I highly recommend eating the gomtang with the paste.I also ordered the kimchi mandu, which were delicious and spicy. Definitely packed more flavor compared to the gomtang.I recommend making a reservation because walk ins could be a long wait. The seating is around the counter, which I enjoyed as you can watch the food being prepared in front of you.Service was great. The chefs and hosts were very nice and explained things on the menu.“

“First time going to Katz? Avoid Saturday and Sunday as wait times can be more than an hour and finding a table once inside will be very difficult. Go during the weekday for faster service.Do not let the busy environment rush you with your order. The meat cutters are there to help you get exactly what you want and will even provide you with a sample.It’s one of the greatest restaurants in the world. Enjoy!“

“Michelin recommended, saw my favorite chef post about their fermented tea leaf salad. If only I could have salads like these everyday: it was different with every bite. It had surprises the whole time we ate it. We also got the Burmese pancake and cassava cake — texturally so interesting too. Thank you so much to the staff as well ; you were so kind to us!“

“What an awesome find! I came with my best friend for my bday and everything was so amazing! We had the omakase dinner and got a little full at the end and couldn’t finish the delicious ice cream! Maybe the next time I’ll do 11 pcs and order some appetizers. The chefs are masters and the rice was perfectly mixed with the sauce and vinegar. Definitely will come back.“

“I was on a solo excursion to Koreatown while visiting NY and dropped by as I saw recommendations for this place, and I’m VERY pleased I did.Got beef mandu jjim, a very complete selection of banchan, fluffy sticky rice and the most delicious ddukbaki bulgogi I’ve ever try.Coming back in June and I’ll definitely hit this spot again.“

“Nestled in the bustling Times Square, Kyuramen offers a delightful Japanese dining experience that's hard to resist. Quench your thirst with their Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea, a sweet and creamy concoction that pairs perfectly with their delectable dishes.The Honeycombo Platter is a fantastic choice for sharing, offering a variety of flavors and textures. The No.6 Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen is a standout dish, featuring a rich and flavorful broth with succulent pork belly and noodles cooked to perfection. For a heartier meal, try the Pork Tonkatsu Omurice Combo, which combines crispy pork cutlet with savory rice and a soft-cooked omelette.For an explosion of flavors, don't miss the Yakitori Platter (5 Skewers), showcasing juicy and tender grilled chicken skewers that will leave you craving more. Everything at Kyuramen is expertly prepared with fresh ingredients, ensuring a top-notch dining experience in the heart of New York City.“

“We had a wonderful dining experience here this past Saturday evening. The atmosphere of this old Irish sports pub was lively and friendly, without being overwhelming. We sat at one of the many tables surrounding the bar. The service was prompt and friendly. The beer and wine were great and the burgers, fries, salad, and salmon were delicious and the portions very generous. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering its location a block and a half south of Central Park. We were just tourists but would come back often if we lived here.“

“This spot is a gem for both dates and casual hangouts with friends. The sushi, especially the eel and cream cheese rolls and the salmon and truffle rolls, were amazing. Their signature dish, udon served in large bowls, was a hit for us. We tried the US Wagyu Deluxe Sukiyaki, and the portion was so generous, it easily fed two. However, the Lycheetini cocktail wasn't great - it was overly bitter, even after we requested a juice swap. Despite that, this place is a definite recommendation from me.“

“Chola is easily the best Indian restaurant in all of Manhattan and Northern Jersey. My wife and I drive in bi-weekly for their awesome food and ever changing menu. The staff is incredible and friendly, we've gotten to know them all and consider them personal friends at this point. Any time we can, we take friends and family to Chola. It's is the best!“

“I wanted to try Chinese food but I was not too much convinced. A friend of mine recommended me this restaurant and I have to say I loved the food , they were very nice , first place i go and the first thing they do is give us water. They attend really fast, our food was ready in less than 30 mins. The only thing is that you must pay in cash. Is kinda small but nice. I also noticed prices were lower than I was used to expend in restaurants. At the end they give you fortune cookies. If you’re near Chinatown you can go ahead and visit the place you can eat for less than 40$Vegetarian options: They have pretty much everything in a vegetarian optionDietary restrictions: They have options for dietParking: The parking is in the street and paidKid-friendliness: Not the best place for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Not available , just in the outside part“

“If you are a fan of Seinfeld and streetfood you should visit this place.They were delicious 10/10 so we repeated the next day. We tried 5, the best in my opinion: 1. Chicken chipotle 2. Potatoe Leak 3. Jambalaya 4. Beef chili 5. Minestrone.No soup for you!??“

“I can’t say enough about this restaurant, they’re special and they me and my family feel special. I came in late with my husband and 2 boys , the owner himself was about to leave , he took off her coat and gave us the biggest smile and we stayed. That’s the type of restaurant I’ll alway be loyal too ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Intimate warm friendly neighborhood bar/restaurant. Excellent food both times we went. The calamari, shrimp & scallop app was perfect. Bartenders Billy and Kitty also 5 star.Maria, the owner, made us very welcome.Can’t wait to return.“

“Stopped for lunch today. Food was fresh and delish! Shared steamed veggie dumplings, veggie fired rice and the spicy shrimp that is a chefs special. All were very, very good. The spicy shrimp had crispy peppers and peanuts...it was so good! Would definitely come back!“

“I was craving soup and lamenting the loss of hale and heart when I realized Luke's Lobster offers both New England clam chowder and lobster bisque. I ordered both for delivery along with the blueberry lemonade and a grilled cheese. I wasn't thrilled with the grilled cheese but for 5$ it wasn't bad. Brown grain and seed break with a verrrry thin line of cheese but tasty and good for dipping in soup. The blueberry lemonade tasted like kombucha... make of that what you will. The soups however were hands down fantastic. The bisque had huge hunks of lobster and the clam chowder was loaded with clams. It was really nice to have two lovely hearty soups when I was craving them like mad and I can't wait to take a crab or lobster roll to the park to enjoy the warm weather in the spring.“

“Pricey but definitely worth it. The lobster roll and the shrimp roll had a generous filling and it was all fresh and made it to order. Didn’t expect it to be as good as it was. The ambience is also beautiful, especially the outdoor seating.“

“Cafe Clementine left its location on West Broadway and moved to Greenwich and Duane (read "moved much closer to me"). Clementine has been around for over 25 years, but this new location is bright and inviting, and is a much-needed addition as a lunch option in the area. Expect lines at lunchtime--the risk of being to close to Citibank's headquarters. The menu is updated daily on their web site (cafeclementine.com/specials/). They won't steer you the wrong way with their soup, salad and sandwich offerings. I had one of the best lentil soups just last week, and was left wondering -- when will it be back on the rotation as a menu item? For good or bad, you will have to live with not knowing what they have for the day until the morning of. All said, an excellent new edition of an old Tribeca favorite. If you like the surprise element of discovering their specials for the day, there is no better place in the neighborhood to get lunch. Or maybe a very early dinner.“

“I don’t normally love Thai food but the Red eye chili paste chicken is so good and spicy that I know I will be thinking of this dish for some time. Every ingredient is fresh, the chicken was perfectly tender and moist, and the rice omg it’s so good. You can tell it was prepared with immense care. The one man chef/owner also gave me great recommendations from the menu and tips on how to enjoy the food at home. He is SO sweet. The ambience is so lovely and quaint as well!! ?“

“I love lobster rolls and this is one my favorite places to get ‘em. It aint cheap at 34 bucks per roll and just one is never enough for me. I love how they post the source of todays seafood at the front counter (see pic). I know that my lobster rolls came from “Portland Pier, Maine” today. The quality of the service and the food is always superior.This restaurant has the vibe of a small lobster shack and sometimes there’s no guarantee of a seat - in that case we’ll just take our food down the block to Union Square. This store is in a prime location with a huge CitiBike docking station right in front.“

“This spot is a great find for the price! I took my family out here for a bit of fun, and everyone was raving about the food. We noticed that if you drop by in the afternoon, the service is super fast. The vibe of the place is just right too. Definitely a place I'd recommend checking out“

“A thin little narrow shop. Fish cut to perfection as well as yummy bagels and cream cheese. The best of all, however, is their chicken noodle soup- made fresh and immediately frozen so it's fresh and perfect when you cook it to serve. A staple for the craving if you just love chicken noodle soup, or have a cold.“

“Quick and easy lunch spot! Quite literally a hole in the wall, so don't expect much in terms of ambience or comfort. Luckily one of the two tables outside were empty, so that's where we sat for the full 25-minute duration of our meal. Ordered a spicy chicken dry noodle bowl & cucumber salad. Cucumbers were crunchy and fresh -- a perfect companion to the noods, which were spicy as advertised. Never in my life have I had noodles so... buoyant? Almost borderline crunchy. Verdict's out on if I'd get that type again, but it was good to try. Bok choy, chicken bits, and peanuts were lighter in quantity but spruced up the flavor.“

“Delicious and good price. I could smell the meat from outside and that’s what attracted me in.You get half a roasted duck 烧鸭 for 16 and a large amount of char siu 叉烧 meat for only 12 a pound. Rice is 1.5. Both were delicious.Service was very quick too, I ordered and in a couple of seconds I was walking out.“

“Ari Sushi is a hidden gem in the city, offering an authentic and high-quality sushi experience. The chefs are skilled and attentive, and the menu features a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, making it a great spot for a date or special occasion. Overall, Ari Sushi is a must-try for any sushi lover in NYC!“

“O’Donoghue’s Times Square is where the heart of New York pulses with the spirit of Ireland! This lively spot is the perfect fusion of the bustling energy of the Big Apple and the cozy warmth of a traditional Irish pub. With 24 beers on tap and 10 HD plasma screens, it’s the go-to place for sports enthusiasts and beer lovers alike. Whether you’re looking for a place to unwind after work with specialty drinks during happy hour, or to gather with friends for a major sporting event, O’Donoghue’s has you covered. The menu offers a delightful mix of traditional Irish and American cuisine, served by a charming staff that makes you feel right at home. Nestled in the Theatre District, it’s an ideal stop for a pre or post-theatre meal and drinks. And let’s not forget, it’s just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Times Square’s New Year’s Eve Ball Drop. So, if you’re planning your holiday parties or just in town shopping, make sure to drop by O’Donoghue’s for an unforgettable experience where every visit is a celebration!“

“Everything in this place is absolutely delicious and affordable!! The owner is humble and friendly, and kind to everyone who walks in. My favorite part is the 11:00am to 2:45pm buffet. Super affordable and fresh! I love this place and would definitely recommend.“

“First and foremost, this place is cash only!My friend and I entered on a chilly April evening and immediately ordered their Gyokuro green tea to warm up. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty their veggie gyoza was (#2 on my top list for gyozas). They had a gingery flavor and did not taste like the basic ones you may find elsewhere.Now for the entrée, I got the vegan mera mera soba, and honestly, it's worth the hype. Delicious and savory broth with a great mix of vegetables complement the warm soba. Overall, a cozy vibe.We got the green tea affogato for dessert, and I don't regret that we each got our own. Pouring the green tea over the red bean, mochi, corn flakes, and green tea ice cream was fun to watch, and the tea acted as a flavoring for these dessert bases.“

“Love having this hidden gem down the street, it’s very convenient and one of the best values in the area (if not the city). Service could be friendlier sometimes but it feels very authentic and old school in a good way. Coffee is great and I’ve never been disappointed in any of their sandwiches.“

“We celebrated my mom's 75th birthday at Jaz Indian Cusine. The owner and the staff was amazing. Everything we ordered was amazing. I think the fresh naan and lemon rice were probably some of the best we have ever had. I would highly recommend Jaz Indian Cuisine to anyone who wants amazing food, atmosphere sphere and service. This is definitely a gem in NYC.“

“The food at Thai Market is possibly the best Thai food I have had in the US. Everything we have tried over many visits has been consistently delicious, including the Branzino, Salmon, Chicken Massaman, Pad Thai and Chicken Sate. The only problem is that is now so popular that there is often a 1 hour wait.“

“The chicken and rice bowl was great with substantial portions. Flavors were en pointe too. I’m going to keep ordering from Springbone and try their other bowls and the broths. Staff was really nice and they swiftly prepared my food. I like the quaint store too with a windowsill. Nice to have them in the neighborhood.“

“I do not usually like food truck food, but the food here is soooo good. They now make these wraps that taste amazing, as well as this chicken vegetable soup. Ali is such a personable person, and he keeps the truck very clean. You definitely have to try the wraps and the soup.“

“Great appetizers ( dumpling pork/ shrimp) and generous portion for the noodle and beef (pan chow fun with sliced beef). 33$ (18% gratuity included in the total bill and extra fee when paying with credit card).Too much food for 1 person otherwise very tasty“

“Took a day trip to New York and decided to stop by for lunch since it was along the way. Absolute best decision ever. It was the best sushi I’ve had in America. The friend that I went with agreed that the only place he had EVER had sushi on-par with this was in Japan. We both got the Omakase. I was firstly very affordable. Omakase is usually $100+, but their’s was under $70 (they also have plenty of sushi/ramen meal options in the $15-20 range for those that are looking for an even more affordable meal). And absolutely amazing quality. Every last piece was fresh and full of flavor. And the Pinot we got to pair with it was absolutely perfect. Wait staff was incredulous attentive and polite. And lastly, the environment was cozy and relaxing. Perfect spot for lunch or dinner. Would absolutely recommend if you are just looking for your meal experience to put you in a great mood for the rest of your day.“

“Good clean food Clean place friendly staffI had an avocado BLT. It was very good with a coffee fresh My friend had the buffalo chicken wrapped hot he said it was very tasty. They are know for their salad every thing looked good and very cleanDietary restrictions: Had so gluten free itemsKid-friendliness: Space for strollers have kids menu.“

“Perfect place for a quick bite! I honestly love their kimchi and beef tofu soup and think it matches that of places closer to Korea town. It's nice that there's a location here because sometimes you just crave this soup and don't want to travel to far for it. Also love how quick the service is and the banchans are typically very good!“
