50 Best Soup near Lodi

“We are seriously SO impressed with Essex Chinese Kitchen. The food is amazing — everything tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and high quality. And on top of that, the prices are very reasonable for the portions you get.

We ordered the bubble teas (brown sugar milk tea and original milk tea), and they were SO good — perfectly balanced with that floral black tea flavor coming through. Not overly sweet, just smooth and refreshing.

I got the golden fried brown shrimp with fried rice and it was FIRE. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and broccoli, and they absolutely do NOT skimp on portions. The serving sizes were generous and so satisfying.

The staff were also super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.

Honestly, we found our spot. We’re definitely becoming regulars. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“If you are a fan of Seinfeld and/or Soup, this is a must go NYC treasure! It was seriously on my bucket list and was everything I had hoped it would be and more! It was SO delicious, fresh, savory, filling and just enough flavor. I had to try the Lobster Bisque and my friend loved the Jambalaya. Both were so YUM!! We extra fan-girled out and watched the Soup N*zi episode of Seinfeld while we enjoyed our meals. It is definitely hearty enough soup to fill you up and still feel like exploring the city and/or Central Park which is right around the corner! The staff were friendly and awesome, thank you OG Soup Kitchen!!“

“A classic ramen spot. i love the service and the dining experience. i go in between this place when i want to bring someone to experience dining differently or if i want a more social place i take them to ippudo. Cant go wrong with coming here hope to be back soon!“

“Wonderful thai restaurant — with a full service bar, really clean and nice interior, with tons of seating.

The food is always wonderful — the pad Thai with chicken is great. The staff is very welcoming, providing excellent service!

A great, easy Friday evening dinner spot.“

“Fresh and delicious. We loved the starters and the Beef main. Fun place.“

“Not even exaggerating: this was one of my favorite dining experiences to date! Had a surprise birthday party for a friend in one of the private back rooms, and the staff was so accomodating, helpful, and friendly. Our waiter, Chris, was especially awesome: he was super sociable and patient with any questions we had about the food, the hotpot process, and splitting the check. The energy of this place was so warm and inviting- anyone looking to host a night out with friends: rest assured, you will have a great time and memorable experience here. I haven't even started talking about the food.

The wagyu beef is absolutely worth the cost. There are more affordable items on the menu and they are also yummy but guess what? Everything felt priced so accordingly that it is 100% worth spending that extra money on those special menu items. The thin wagyu melts so perfectly into the delicious broths, the thought of it will keep me up at night. Treat yourself and get that meat!!

And my god. The broths. Holy cow. I got the spicy broth, and it was the perfect level of heat* that, combined with the huge selection of sauces, made the proteins and noodles DIVINE... THE RICE CAKES TOO omg.. The tofu, fish balls, and mushrooms were all also really well sourced, just really premium products priced very modestly for how quality they all were. *note: be ready for the peppers that have the slightly numbing/tingling effect- not on a Szechuan level, but a nice and perfect build that makes each ingredient have a beautiful taste profile.

We had the table with personal pots/induction stoves, so all the proteins/veggies we shared, but we would also pass along samples of the other broths to each other, and I wish I had ordered my own bowl of the seasonal vietnamese pho broth too because the one small bowl I sampled was heavenly.

I will definitely be back again to try the drinks, they looked fantastic and the ambience of the bar felt so nice.

Also, just realized I was too engulfed by the good food and fun with friends that I forgot to take pics. It was that good man“

“Great value for lunch omakase in the UES. The $49 lunch set comes with an appetizer, 9 pieces of nigiri, miso soup, and dessert, which felt very reasonable for the quality and amount of food.

The fish quality was good, especially the o-toro and salmon belly. I personally prefer a more traditional/simple style of sushi where high-quality ingredients are served with minimal seasoning, and some pieces here had a bit more toppings or flavor combinations than I usually like. That said, everything was well prepared and enjoyable.

The caramel ice cream dessert was surprisingly delicious and a very nice ending to the meal. Overall, a solid and satisfying lunch omakase with great value.“

“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!“

“Delicious soups and reasonably priced!“

“Okdongsik serves one of the most memorable Korean meals I’ve had. Their pork bone broth is exceptionally clean, rich, and deeply comforting, showcasing just how much flavor can come from a deceptively simple dish. Paired with what is, in my opinion, the best kimchi and mandu I’ve ever tasted, it becomes an unforgettable meal. The minimalist menu, meticulous preparation, and focus on quality ingredients make this a standout destination in Koreatown and a must-visit for anyone interested in authentic Korean cuisine.“

“The porterhouse for 2 was what we went with for my girlfriend's birthday dinner and it was phenomenal! The service was great and the ambiance even better. We were also watching the Knicks beat the Spurs in game 2 to end a perfect night! Will be back soon!“

“Well, this is a special place, don't you believe? Let's see.I was walking around looking for a place to eat and saw this deli , mind you that when you see a line outside a deli and customers willing wait in the cold for food , you know the food is going to be off the hook ! In line a sweet man was telling the history of the deli and how is the best town and anything I choose will definitely make me happy, another customer arrives and tells me to how much he loves it ! I knew I had found a gem that needs to be shared , because customer's are raving for it , the employees and owner sweetest guy very patient in waiting for me to decide what I wanted I even bought few things brought from Italy while I waited for My delicious 🤤 Little Nicky sandwich 🥪 which not only is so big I ate it for lunch and dinner 🍽️ is the best sandwich I've had in years ! I appreciate the stories of when it was established. I care so much for the excellent customer service and the way they run the place makes you feel like you step into a home! I'm definitely looking forward to what to try next!!! Sorry for the no picture of the sandwich, I ate the whole thing 🤣 don't forget grab freshly made mozzarella!!!!!“

“awesome food... great service.“

“I really enjoyed the Salmon Poke bowl and Edamame and then I went back for their Spicy Salmon Rice Crackers and Salmon Avocado Roll the next day! Their staff is so kind and attentive. Great way to end an evening with sushi at one of their tables outside.“

“The best restaurant ever delicious food,sweet service“

“Food is okay, service is good, atmosphere is pleasant, though can get rather loud.
They have decent beer and cider on tap. Bathrooms are a bit cramped but useable. Menu has a decent number of choices on it and is reasonably priced for the area. Staff are helpful.“

“One of the best Palestinian food around 10 stars“

“One of my go to’s in the city since ‘06. This isn’t your modern day scene, rather old world NYC meets Italy. Never disappoints. And the staff 💯!!!“

“Came in for lunch after a very busy morning at work, and, if I'm being honest, with a minor hangover. Everything about this place fixed me right up. I felt like I went to lunch at my tia's. The ropa veja I got tasted exactly like the one I grew up eating. Comfort food and comforting vibes.“

“awesome food friendly owner“

The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Great food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere.
I highly recommend Five Star Thai to anyone looking for authentic and flavorful Thai food.“

“Amazing experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and the chef was incredibly flexible with special requests, which made everything even better. Everyone on the staff was kind, welcoming, and attentive. What truly stood out was how wonderful they were with my daughter they made my daughter feel comfortable and special the entire time. Excellent service, amazing atmosphere, and great food. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent Food and service. Top Notch!!!!!“

“This is our 2nd time in here. Came in yesterday just for drinks, best drink we’ve had so far, so tried food today. Wow. Beautiful. Shepherds pie was gorgeous and hot not cold like you get in a lot of places. Sharing platter lovey too and the nachos 5* rating, if we have time before flying home to uk tomorrow we are coming back. 🙂😍“

“The ONLY place in Hell’s Kitchen for excellent sushi. Seriously the quality here is INSANE, especially when considering what I believe to be rock bottom prices. It’s a staple date spot for my girlfriend and I, I’m a little ashamed I haven’t left a review earlier because we love everything about this place. It’s charming, delicious and doesn’t break the bank, perfect for the occasional treat. I usually only order sushi so I cannot speak to the other entrees, but every single roll (and I’ve had almost all of the specialty rolls) has been either above average or exemplary. My favorite is the Manhattan roll! I also get ponzu sauce most times.“

“A Winner of A Store and Standard of Excellence Since 1946“

“We love the food here! Everything is good!! This is one of the best Thai restaurants in Midtown. The service is amazing. Great hospitality. You feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. Lovely decor and the food arrives quickly.
The Mango Sticky Rice is sooo delicious. They give you plenty of mango to accompany the rice. I will say it is one of my favorite sticky rice’s that I’ve ever had.
I’ve come here a few days in a row now.
And I will always come back“

“We had salmon crispy rice ($16). This dish is very special. You can't really eat it anywhere else. 👍

We also had curry karage ramen. The karage is on the soft side. The curry sauce is a little too spicy for us. But the dish is good anyway.

Waiters are very certeous.“

“I absolutely love this place. The Pho here is seriously the best pho I’ve ever had. It’s extremely flavorful, the noodles always come out perfectly soft and the meat perfectly cooked. They have sauces at the table available like Sriracha , Hoisin Sauce and a Homemade Chili sauce. Their spring rolls are very refreshing and pairs deliciously with their peanut sauce. Their fried spring rolls are also super amazing, always come out hot and delicious which also pair nicely with the fish sauce they serve it with. Their Jasmine Boba Tea is to dieeee for, as well as their Avocado Shakes. I also recommend the bowl that comes with BBQ Pork, salad and Vermicelli noodles. The service is always quick and their servers are super kind. I believe the older couple who is always there are the owners and they are absolute sweethearts. I genuinely love coming here, I visit the place at least once a week on weekends. Check this place out and you won’t regret it!“

“One of the best Vietnamese restaurants we’ve been to! The food is always fresh, authentic, and absolutely delicious. The pho has a rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and tender meat. Every dish we tried was amazing, and the portions were generous. The service is excellent every time—friendly, attentive, and welcoming staff who make you feel right at home. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for outstanding Vietnamese cuisine and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Chicken was nicely cooked, and atmosphere was fine with wooden tables :)

I ordered sweet & spicy fried chicken k-bap, but I think it wrongly came out as soy sayce chicken.

$4 for commercial banana milk felt expensive - I thought it would at least be served with a cup of glass and ice.

Just a thought here - regarding the composition of k-bap, I think there might be too many “chili pepper” in the dish - spicy chicken+gochujang+kimchi (which I ordered but was probably served wrong) is a lot of mixed spices from different sources.“

“Delicious menu, beautiful space, excellent service!“

“Food is amazing... there is never a long wait and the food comes out extremely quick“

“Best sandwiches and people.“

“Good food good service I will come back !“

“Had the most delicious lunch today. Everything is so fresh. Amazing choices! My daughter enjoyed as well and wants to hurry back for the smashed avocado toast and an açaí bowl. I brought a hot plate home for dinner, the salmon was superb (brought in fresh!) Highly recommend!!!“

“Came here after a failed trip to Sojourn Social.

Got amazing service for my takeout order. The woman taking my order answered all of my questions and they immediately began working on my order. Once I ordered, she immediately walked to the back to make the coffee I ordered.

I also always feel at ease when I see staff taking their lunch break inside. One person (out of many!l was taking their break, and they were enjoying the food.“

“I really enjoyed the freshness!!“

“Althea and Derrick(?) are doing a great job at 81st street. They are so helpful and personable. Lobster rolls are amazing and the root beer is delicious! A neighborhood treasure“

“We loved it. We ordered their spicy tripe appetizer and it was on point, not too spicy and not too stinky. The flavor of their chow mei fun was on point as well. Great overall! They also have a great lunch menu on weekdays.“
