50 Best Soup near Allston

“This Korean restaurant has always been one of my go-to spots for an easy, delicious meal with generous portions. The jokbal and bossam were definitely the highlights! The jokbal was flavorful and satisfyingly tender, while the bossam was rich, juicy, and delicious when paired with the side dishes. Both felt unique and comforting, especially if you’re craving a hearty pork dish.

A couple of the side dishes seemed old, although they were still good, and the service can be inconsistent; sometimes great, other times a bit disappointing. Overall, it’s still a solid four-star experience, and I’ll definitely be back for the jokbal and bossam!“

“Another great vegan option in the Boston area. Will be back.“

“the Opa Greek yeeros the best In Boston and the deserts are delicious and after all this frappe cafe my perfect diner .“

“Came early on a Monday, shortly after opening. Greeted promptly, sat immediately, food came out within minutes. Coffee was good, shumai were great, and really enjoyed the broth in the soup. Looking forward to trying some other things in the future!“

“The frozen yogurt is GREAT but the owner, Ali, is one of a kind and is so funny, kind and personable, I would go there just to see him, alone!“

“Little tao is my hidden gem in Boston for spicy food. It has various kinds of Szechuan cuisines. I love the stir fried pork belly with chili. This place also has dumplings. The Taiwanese tradition dumplings is very delicious with meat and beans inside.“

“The chili is amazing. I can’t ever make it home without digging in on the way. Getting soup and chicken from the same place is genius, a full meal that tastes like it came from your own kitchen.“

“The food is amazing and the service was outstanding. Very friendly and quick.“

“DELISH! WOW everything was so flavorful 🫰😊 good portions!! Braised pork feet were melty n tender…Nam Tok had plenty of toppings, tender beef and perf chewy wide rice noodles 😛🫰🫰 yummi mustard greens that came w everything — wings were juicy!

“cool atmosphere, food a dream. my lobster roll with honey/chilly butter delicios.“

“Love Tu y Yo in Somerville but quite a drive for us. This has the same owners and much of the same menu and is much closer. This restaurant was wonderful! My favorites are the cactus salad, the tamales, plantains, and birria tacos. Mole wasn't my favorite, and pozole was good but a bit salty. Staff were really friendly and welcoming! Definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“Had a wonderful time, especially thanks to the tour guide(s) at 4 pm. The main leader, “Sarah,” definitely made the experience worthwhile. There was a giant group of young kids that weren’t paying much attention (as young kids do-not a complaint) yet we were able to learn and enjoy the amazing museum and experiences nonetheless. They were very accommodating, humorous, and well equipped to handle large groups of people while keeping their attention. We liked the experience and would go back.“

“Cafe Mami is a neighborhood gem. We've been coming here for years to enjoy their variety of Japanese comfort food. They have probably the best curry in Boston. Love the depth of great fruity curry flavor with their pork and chicken katsu and hamburger. Their gyudon has crispy sliced beef and beansprouts. Couple of our favorites are the Nininku chicken and beef tofu sets. Sauces are great and free refills on rice. They offer great value and quality. Staff is friendly and efficient. So happy they are still in the neighborhood after all these years.“

“This has to be one of my favorite Asian meals that I have had in quite some time. The food was so authentic and delicious. I had a delicious wonton soup and a combo meal with tasty boneless pork spare ribs and lovely shrimp fried rice. My son had seafood chow mein with crispy noodles. Portions were huge; quality was outstanding and service was fine. Can't wait to come back.“

“You won’t find a more delicious lobster roll anywhere!!!“

“Yummy food very nice people“

“The Greek food was delicious.“

“So authentic! Felt like I was back in 中国 (china) enjoying lunch with the family. We ordered xiaolongbao, scallion pancake among other things. Restaurant owner was so lovely and provided delicious food. Everything has the taste of real authentic chinese food!!“

“Has an amazing Valentines dinner here tonight. Both the food and the service were out of this world. One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten. Thank you for having us and can’t wait to enjoy again!!!“

“I ate here twice this week while on a business trip. The food is excellent, but a light bulb was flickering on Sunday and was still strobe-lighting my dinner on Tuesday. It was annoying to dine under—I don’t know how the staff hasn’t gone crazy.“

“Have been seeing this place for a bit on my way to flour bakery. Today I decided to try it. I walked in met Nico (nice and helpful). Because it was a new place and they had so many offerings I asked Nico what he would recommend. Nico asked me about allergies and if there was anything I wouldn’t eat. I responded no and he then recommended the California a (chicken, bacon, tomato, lettuce and mayo). My sandwich was great and I will return to try something new Great service, clean and great prices! I ended up getting some ice cream as well delicious! See you soon Nico! Nice lil spot in the south end directly across from flour.“

“Great place to stop by. The staff are great and you can always find a food option that you'll like. If your just starting off, try the chicken katsu bento. You will have to wait for this meal, but its a great starting point. I find the meals are great to eat between work and school since I don't have much time to eat in most places.“

“Sandwich’s was so delicious 😋“

“Tried it for the first time - delicious Paid Thai and cold Thai Jasmine Green Tea drink 🥤 is yummy!“

“Can’t talk this place up enough amazing old school authentic Italian and a very warm environment whether your looking for a nice cup of coffee or a chicken parm sangy the workers over here always do it right. Killer Sicilian pizza as well!“

“Diamond in the rough! The best Crab Rangoon! Delicious drinks, great atmosphere!“

“this place is such a cute, amazing spot hidden behind a parking lot. Absolutely loved the food, came back for more. This will be my sushi/poke bowl take out spot from now on. The gentleman in the register is so sweet and made great suggestions. Such a nice atmosphere. Food taste so fresh, and yummy.
They don’t disappoint!!“

“The absolute best breakfast/lunch spot in Newton!“

“Good vibe best corn on the cob with chili powder and a hit of tacos I like the tacos al pastor and tripa tacos 😋“

“The price to quality ratio is very good, the only thing better would be the Costco $5 chicken. Lunch specials run $11 or $13 and comes with a bowl of rice.

While other restaurants in general load the meal up with fillers, such as breads, beans or rice, the ratio here is the other way around. There is 2X or 3x of the dish, relative to starch.

Comes with tea, picked vegetables and dry peanuts“

“Just tried the clam chowder I bought at a local grocery store. Pretty good Would definitely buy again and will try the lobster bisque too 👍🏼👍🏼“

“I love it!!! Hidden gem. Food is really tasty and I feel I’m eating something really healthy. FISH TACOS MY FAVORITE“

“Was very delicious!! Definitely would go there again“

“Excellent! Pad Thai with Crispy Chicken“

“I don't go to bars much these days but came here for a live music event, the Nirvana tribute band and this place is awesome. The place LOOKS amazing, they had sports playing on a bunch of tvs the food was PHENOMENAL, you order and they text you when it's ready that was pretty wild to me, and the best part of all the amazing staff that was so friendly to me and my family members. Would highly recommend, the concert was AWESOME and would definitely come here again. Really memorable night. THANK YOU“

“The pho is absolutely delicious. The staff is so kind.“

“Best chowda I had on my trip to Boston!“

“If you want really authentic chinese food this place is perfect. My favorite is pork belly with crispy skin. That was my number one dish to go to in Shenzhen and here they cook it exactly like they do in Shenzhen. Thank you guys and I will be back 100%!“

“Honestly, I love this place when it first opened! My friend and I became obsessed with the dumplings and literally joked about how we dreamed of them once a month for our shared double date night. Recently, we went back for our monthly date night and the menu has totally changed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very good. But I beg of you to please bring back the dumplings!“

“Pho Viet is one of my favorite spots in Newton Center! The food is always delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. You can really tell that they care about the quality of what they serve.

The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the treatment I’ve received every time I’ve visited has always been exceptional. It’s not just a place where you go for good pho—you genuinely feel welcomed and taken care of.

Great food, great service, and an even better atmosphere. I highly recommend giving Pho Viet a try if you’re in Newton Center!“

“Best Chinese food around and the best customer service! Always so friendly and the foods always fresh! I highly recommend“

“Great food and excellent service at this cute hole-in-the-wall cafe inside the Armory. Diverse breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu with very reasonable prices, tons of seating, great art displayed all around the dining area, and a cool stage for live music.“

“It was very good! I ordered a level three spicy though, and almost couldn't eat it, beware!“

“Delicious tasty 😋 I love Falafel Place“

“I was visiting frequently before my dad was transferred to a hospice center. I wish I could remember the cashier’s name who helped me. She was always SO KIND and put a huge smile on my face, having no idea what I was going through. The rest of the staff is great too. The food always came out quickly and it was delicious.“

“Muy rica la comida muy buen servicio altamente recomendado“

“This is still a fairly new location, it's very nice, clean & attractive, large & spacious with wifi and outlets for phone charging. The squash soup with toasted pumpkins was the BEST!!! And the the cafe latte and bacon BLT on tomato bread was perfect, plenty of bacon. Service was fast. It wasn't very crowded until around 12:30 pm when I left. My only issue is the prices are too high for what you get in size and quantity of food, otherwise a great place for a meal or fancy coffee & a relatively quiet place to sit and relax, highly recommended!“

“I dined in and enjoyed the Pho Ga soup; plenty of noodles, chicken and a more limited quantity of veggies.

The waitress was attentive and welcoming. Excellent service.

The interior of the restaurant is drab and could use brightening up. I appreciated the lack of TV and loud background music.

I was the only customer dining in for lunch at 2 PM. It sounds like there are few customers on longer weekends like this one during Labor Day.

Overall, a pleasant and filling lunch. I hope that more people will stop by and dine or order out.“

“Squash soup, with a sandwich my favorite lunch, even dinner! Tastes so delicious, clean flavors!! Can’t go wrong for take out to stay with healthy eating. Salads fabulous also.“
