23 Best Soup near Dorchester

“Visited Olive Garden for first time. We were a large group of seven. Pleasantly surprised by ambiance, ability to accommodate all of us in a cozy corner, we had the space to ourselves. Kids friendly menu, ordering on tablet was convenient. Food was delicious and served with unlimited bread and soup as side. Recommend for family dinners and meals.“

“I visited the location in Fall 2024, ordering the Cobb Salad and a macaroon. I used the self service station given the front counter staff appeared engaged in a conversation. My order was turned around quickly and was made to standard. The store is dated and tired, with most people in the dining area doing school work or making video calls. I would not go out of my way to return but wouldn’t exclude it from future visits.“

“Very welcoming. I got there about an hour before closing so I picked my food quickly. I had the Creamy Tum Yum and added a little chili oil to it for some spice. It is a great dish for someone who wants flavor with little to no heat. There was plenty of pork and two shrimp tails. I also had the Thai Tea which from the picture in the menu I was worried was a premade mix. Instead it came out fresh and required me to swirl it around to blend the cream. Perfect flavor and temperature. Not overly sweet like some places make it.

The atmosphere was laid back with some cool art work on the walls. Definitely gave a college town feel. The bathroom could use some work. It wasn't scary. It was clean and well stocked but it is definitely on the back burner when it comes to decorating.

I'm surprised they don't have merchandise. Their logo would be a cool patch on a hat. Seems like most restaurants are doing this now and I'm here for it. Better than buying shot glasses.

Anyways, check the place out for some good hot pots, ramen, etc. when in the area.“

“Tried the chicken gyro at Opa Greek Gyro and really enjoyed it! The meat was flavorful and tender, and everything tasted fresh. Portion size was just right, and the pita was soft and warm. Definitely a solid spot if you’re craving a good gyro. Will be coming back to try more from the menu!“

“The Halloumi Cheese Pita and/or Plates with Charred Eggplant and Garlic Skordalia spreads are my favorites. I especially love the Charred Eggplant spread as it’s extremely tasty and unique. I don’t recommend getting meat as the protein as it’s usually pretty dry.

The Zucchini Chips are also my go-to side dish.

The Loukomades (Greek donuts) are good, but nothing special.

It’s a bit hard to navigate in the Newbury location when it’s crowded as it’s so small“

“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.“

“The Mexican food in this place is AWESOME! My friends and I get a really great experience there, every single dish thaw we tried was phenomenal! You have to try the avocado cheese cake, is my favorite there!! Service was great and the spot makes you feel like in a real Mexican restaurant.“

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

“Casual Szechuan noodle bar that offers comforting flavors.

Szechuan cuisine has always been popular, but the competition in Allston has really been heating up lately. While MH holds the popularity crown by a wide margin, spots like Little Tao often get overshadowed. I've dropped by Little Tao a few times for lunch, and for a place that proudly advertises zero MSG, the flavors were bold.

Little Tao’s signature dishes are undoubtedly their Szechuan noodles, like the Chengdu noodles and Twice Cooked Pork noodles. Each bowl comes bathed in rich chili oil, with savory meat toppings adding that salty/umami punch. Despite the generous pour of chili oil, the spice level is actually pretty manageable. My only gripe? The noodles weren’t fully drained, which thinned out the flavors a bit.

From their regular Szechuan menu, I’ve tried the Mapo Tofu, Pickled Fish Fillet, and Braised Beer Duck. The first two were solid—not the best I’ve had around here, but still good. The Braised Beer Duck, though, was a different story; it was more of a chore than a meal. They serve it chopped bone-in, with barely any meat on the pieces, so I was pretty much left with picking around more bones than bites.

Overall, ia great spot to swing by for some straightforward, comforting Szechuan noodles. While I haven’t fully explored the rest of their menu, I’d suggest sticking with the noodles.“

“Very small and tucked away; but an absolute gem!! I ate here for the second time today with my mother (a pescatarian) and there were plenty of options for both of us. We personally recommend the fried rice options, but anything is good! Staff were very welcoming and friendly, service was pretty quick. Got a milk tea to go afterwards and it’s a 10/10 as well. Pricing is very fair and portions are large; If ordering a main dish, expect to either share or bring home more than enough for leftovers!!

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian, vegan, and pescatarian options present on all sections of the menu.“

“These are the best soup dumplings I’ve ever had and the pan fried dumplings and turnip cakes were also top notch.
This place is a small casual spot with a few tables inside the Kam Man grocery store (when you enter the building, go straight and it will be on your right). Service is lovely. We also bought dumplings to make at home.
Highly recommend!“

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

“This Thai restaurant was recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint—absolutely delicious!

The Leng Zapp was amazing: the soup is sour and spicy, and while the first sip might be intense, it gets tastier once you get used to the flavour. The pork ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful—highly recommend! The pork leg had a slightly sweet taste, but it was well-seasoned and paired perfectly with the rice. The overall price is reasonable too.

The only downside is the limited seating, so be sure to arrive early!“

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

“Yummy food very nice people“

“Sandwich’s was so delicious 😋“

“If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food in Boston, Seoul Soulongtang in Allston is hands down the place to go. Their signature Soulongtang — a traditional ox bone soup — is deeply satisfying, especially on a cold day or when you just need something hearty and restorative.

My favorite is the classic Soulongtang with brisket and noodles. The broth is rich, milky, and full of umami from hours of slow simmering. I love how they serve it unseasoned, so you can adjust the flavor with the salt, pepper, and chopped scallions on the side — just like they do in Korea. The brisket is tender and flavorful, while the glass noodles have a perfect chewy texture.

Beyond the soup, the banchan here is excellent, especially the house-made kimchi and radish kimchi. They’re fresh, well-fermented, and they complement the mildness of the broth beautifully.

The restaurant itself is cozy and clean with a casual vibe, and the service is consistently quick and friendly. Whether you’re dining solo or with friends, it’s a great spot for an affordable, comforting meal.

If you’ve never had Soulongtang before, Seoul Soulongtang Boston is the perfect place to try it. I always leave feeling full and happy.“

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

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

“No longer cash only! This tucked away eatery serves delicious curries and chicken cutlets. Feels like a legit Japan-style restaurant where you can get a comfortable, familiar meal, by yourself or with friends and family. Delicious sesame salad and miso soup! The red pickled radishes with the curry were best. Attentive service and dishes are served at just the right pace. Plus enough for two meals!“

“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!“

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