The Soup, located on Irving and 24th in central Irving, is a restaurant that specializes in homemade soups and rice dishes. Despite its central location surrounded by Asian supermarkets and shops, the restaurant was surprisingly empty during the reviewers' visits. The store is described as nice, clean, bright, and fresh, with two unisex restrooms located in the back corner. While the restaurant has a large space, including an upstairs area, it seems that the upstairs is not utilized, which some reviewers found to be a waste of space.
The menu at The Soup features a variety of soups and rice dishes. Reviewers particularly enjoyed the "steamed rice in lotus leaf with chicken, shiitake mushroom, and jujube," noting the dish's good flavor, though some found chicken bones after each bite. The "braised beef noodle soup" was highlighted for its delicious broth and soft braised beef, making those who skipped it wish they had ordered it. However, the "hog maw and chicken stew" was less well-received, with the soup being overpowered by a strong white pepper flavor. Some customers found the quality and quantity of food to be just so-so, citing the "coconut soup" as a disappointment with only a few pieces of chicken.
The service at The Soup was generally described as better than at other Chinese restaurants in the area, with the staff being attentive and responsive to the customers' needs. One reviewer mentioned a language barrier with their server, but they still received their order correctly, which was appreciated. Overall, The Soup seems to be a decent option for those craving homemade-style soups and rice dishes, with a clean and comfortable dining environment. While the prices may be a bit high for some, the large portions and generally positive reviews suggest that it could be worth a visit for those in the area.
