Soup near Watertown

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

“Went to lunch today and was impressed with the amazing customer service. The guy who took my order saved me $12 and then another worker, Miguel, went out of his way to be helpful to me as I was struggling with 3 cups and waiting for another customer to finish in the drinks station. Miguel got 3 lids and 3 straws for me and I didn't even need to ask for help! Later, he noticed I was carrying a couple of trays to the trash and once again he went out of his way to take the trays and put my leftovers in a container. He was very sweet and both interactions with Miguel put a big smile on my face. I'm always pleased to see others who enjoy their time at work and make customers feel good. My fiance and I both thanked Miguel and let him know that we appreciated his kindness. Hope Panera can give him some recognition as well :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Yummy food very nice people“

“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!“

“Amazing, fresh, authentic…served with a smile.“

“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.“

“Sandwich’s was so delicious 😋“

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

“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!“

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

“The best in the Wakefield area!!“

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

“It's kn a Food court, therefore the ambience isxmaybe notcthe most cozy one, but it's okay. The wuality of the Food is always excellent and very fresh. Service is always friendly and efficient in a very good way. The ratio price/quality is okay, prices are fair. I'm always happy to come back eevery time I come to Boston. Thank you! 😋😋😋😃“

“I recently dined here for lunch with a few coworkers and everything was great. The lentil soup is so good, the staff are very welcoming and helpful if you’re unsure of what to order. The manager is also very kind and helpful! I’ll definitely be visiting again“

“First, this place is run by some of the nicest people I’ve ever met and I’m dead serious. My parents were here for my dad’s surgery and we stopped in for sandwiches that we all loved (and mom is PICKY). We ended up coming every day while dad was in the hospital and Nick and Georgia asked us how he was doing and were so kind that we are all seriously going to miss them. They have great sandwiches, smoothies, ice cream, milkshakes, pasta and salads. My favorites were the salmon sandwich and the Code 10 but everything I tried was delicious, made by a family with love.“

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

“When you walk into Mu Lan it is like you are transported to Taiwan. They have some "Americanized" dishes, however they are known for their authentic dishes. My Chinese friends that also own restaurants told me that Mu Lan is the real deal. I went at lunchtime. Most tables were occupied. I was one of the only non-Asian customers. To me, that's a sign of a great restaurant. As soon as I sat, they brought me over tea, water with lemon, a ramikin of peanuts and a ramikin of pickled cabbage and carrots. A very pleasant start to the meal. My waiter, an older gentleman with glasses was very friendly and was one of the English speaking employees. Part of their menu is written in Taiwanese. Those items had pictures. You can also easily use your cell and Google translate. I should note the restaurant was extremely clean and had nice Asian decor. They give you chopsticks. There is forks/spoons available if needed. I use chopsticks at home so this wasn't an issue. I started with a cup of Hot and Sour Soup. It's a favorite dish of mine and I was curious to see how they did it. Great flavors with the normal fillers like tofu, golden needle, black fungus, egg etc. Had a good amount of heat to clear your nose. My next course was half of the House Duck. Also delicious! Although reading the reviews it sounds like people lean towards the Smoked Duck. I finished with some Cuttlefish Dumplings! These were amazing! I believe the wrapper was black from squid ink. Overall, very happy with the food and the little extras they give you.

When they bring out the bill, they also bring Orange slices!!! Kind of like the pineapple back in the day! They have a large menu with a lot of interesting choices. From a cultural perspective it was really fascinating to watch some of the families eat. Each person would get a bowl of rice. Then the table would get two giant bowls
One looked like a soup. The family members would pick at the big bowls and place items on their rice. After a few bites they would repeat the process.

Definitely worth checking out for great fresh, authentic Taiwanese/Chinese food. Prices were very reasonable! Excited to go back and try something new!

Parking: I didn't have trouble finding street parking!

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly if your kid has an adventurous palette.“

“I'm new to the Boston area and this place has the best poke bowl I've ever had in my life. I will drive the extra distance just to come here.

The freshness of the fish and the quantity in the poke bowl was simply amazing. I will come back here many times I just wish it was closer to my house.“

“My friend and I took the trip up to Boston Chinatown! We brought 2 coolers and we planned to hit as Many places as possible and all the best spots this place was the last place on our list and my back and knee were about to break but it was soo worth it. The roast pork is amazingly juicy and succulent. The soy sauce chicken was tasty and perfectly seasoned. It was soo worth the walk!!! I really recommend coming here the price is reasonable compared to the rest of the places around here.“

“Great food and reasonably priced“

“This is a great take out spot, and the prices CANNOT be beaten ! Consistent, delicious, and cheap-what more could you want from a Viet place? Maybe better parking, but not a far walk/stroll from the municipal lot. Did I mention fast? They ONLY do take out, so find a nice picnic spot or bring it home. Bahn Mi holds up for a long drive“

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

“Delicious tasty 😋 I love Falafel Place“

“Great sushi, good portions. Fresh fish. Family atmosphere and good service.“

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

“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.“

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

“Excellent! Pad Thai with Crispy Chicken“

“Food is warm and cozy on a rainy night! Everything we’ve ordered is always prepared quickly and with care, and tastes just as you’re hoping. Portions are generous and always piping hot. We keep coming back!

Vegetarian options: Most items can be made vegetarian with tofu or just veggies.

Parking: There always seems to be free street parking right outside.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of options for picky kiddos.“

“Thanks to everyone at the Beijing restaurant in Lexington, Ma. I met my wife here, and have fond memories of our first meeting. Good food and great atmosphere! There is also a nice outside patio deck. Highly recommended. Thank you,
Mike & Qin“

“The best Indian Food I have ever had. I got the Butter Chicken (cooked in a creamy tomato type sauce along with rice and plain naam. Just delicious! Plus leftovers.“

“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!“

“great owner and great workers Amy Amanda Sheila hard workers all the food is excellent and a very clean restaurant“

“Great place to grab breakfast.
For years we've been getting the egg and cheese Croissants which are fresh made and great value. Not the dry crusted croissants one can expect from the coffee shop America runs on.
Drop by and fuel up in the morning.
A good quick stop!

Parking: Parking is available out front and is handicap accessible.“

“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.“

“This locally renowned Cantonese-style seafood restaurant is known for its fresh dishes and quick service. We ordered the lobster with ginger and scallion sauce, along with stir-fried clams and vegetables—both were flavorful and well-prepared. The only downside is the price: a meal for two came to around $200. It’s conveniently located along the Green Line if you’re taking public transportation.“
