50 Best Soup near Great Neck Plaza

“It was so hard to find good dry pot places in my area . Finally , I found hungry monster!! One of the best meals I’ve had recently. The quality of the food was outstanding and the service was top-notch. The staff made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend this place!“

“Perfect soup dumplings, other dishes tasty as well, great service! Highly recommend.“

“I’ve had sushi all over America, and this is a top contender amongst the best I’ve had. The menu is on the simpler side, but don’t let that detract you from the absolute quality they deliver. The sushi rolls are larger than typical and priced very reasonable for what you get. Plus they serve warm sushi rice which not many places outside of Los Angeles do.“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“I do love to eat oysters in there. Great service & best food.“

“Good Ramen 🍜 and environment“

“This little gem of a restaurant was such a great find. I was craving phó for a few days and decided to try a new place. My usual spots were just average so I hit the old search engine up for suggestions and found Chef Papa. There’s not a lot of seating so be forewarned. I was dining solo. I ordered their signature phó and a minced pork banh mi. When it comes to phó it’s all about the soup. Their broth is delicious. From the first spoon full you can tell it’s fresh and not full of msg or salt. The rice noodles had a nice chew to them and the proteins were plentiful. The banh mi baguette was crisp and lightly toasted. At the bottom was warm grilled minced pork. Above that was the Viet ham, cucumber, julienne carrots and cilantro.“

“I took my family to la riserva last week. We had an amazing dinner. My girls loved the pasta fagioli!!! They also enjoyed their meals; pasta with marinara and the chicken parmigiana with green beans. My husband and I equally enjoyed our meals. The service was great. Our waitress was knowledgeable and everything came out in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend la riserva to my friends.“

“There’s something incredibly comforting and nourishing about a good coconut chicken hotpot, and Coco Hotpot 皇椰鸡 delivers that experience beautifully. We ordered the Coconut Chicken Set for 2, which came with a half portion of fresh cage-free chicken, your choice of noodles or rice of your choice, and a vegetable platter filled with corn, winter melon, napa cabbage, lettuce, and enoki mushrooms all slowly cooked in fresh coconut water. The portion was honestly perfect for me and my boyfriend satisfying, balanced, and filling without feeling overly heavy. If you want more, they also offer plenty of add-ons to customize your hotpot further.

What makes this style of hotpot so unique is its history and philosophy. Coconut chicken hotpot originates from Hainan cuisine, where food is known for emphasizing freshness, clean flavors, and natural ingredients rather than relying heavily on oil or intense spice. Unlike traditional hotpots that focus on rich broths or chili oils, Hainan-style coconut chicken soup highlights the sweetness of fresh coconut water paired with high-quality chicken. Coconut water naturally contains subtle sweetness and minerals, which creates a lighter and healthier broth that still feels deeply flavorful and comforting.

The experience itself felt very thoughtful and authentic. The server prepares everything tableside for you, which made the meal feel even more special. They first pour the fresh coconut water into the pot and bring it to a gentle boil before adding the chicken. As the chicken cooks, they carefully skim away the scum from the top to keep the broth crystal clear and clean tasting a traditional cooking technique that helps preserve the purity and delicate flavor of the soup.

The chicken turned out incredibly tender, juicy, and naturally flavorful from simmering in the coconut broth. You can truly taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Once we added the vegetables, the soup became even better. The corn released extra sweetness into the broth, the napa cabbage softened and added depth, winter melon gave the soup a refreshing and cooling quality, while the enoki mushrooms brought a subtle earthy umami flavor. By the end, the broth develops into this naturally sweet, savory, and aromatic soup that tastes so comforting yet surprisingly light and healthy.

We chose udon noodles instead of rice, and it was absolutely the right choice. The thick chewy noodles soaked up all that flavorful coconut chicken broth beautifully. Every bite felt warm, silky, fresh, and incredibly satisfying.

They also have a sauce bar available if you want to customize your dipping sauces, though it does come at an additional charge. Personally, the broth itself was already so flavorful that it barely even needed sauce, but it’s a nice option if you enjoy mixing garlic, scallions, soy sauce, chili, or sesame-based dips with your hotpot.

This meal leaves you feeling nourished rather than overly full. Refreshing, healthy, authentic, and genuinely delicious. I also love that their menu offers many other traditional soups and coconut-based hotpots to explore, which makes me excited to come back and try more next time. Definitely a spot worth revisiting if you enjoy clean flavors, comforting soups, and high-quality ingredients.“

“It was my first time eating at Olive Garden and I must say, it wasn't half bad. Our server was great and very attentive, and seemed to always be right there when we needed refills or more bread. Like I said, this was my first time eating at Olive Garden but Based on this experience, I'd go back. Of course there was one nit. The table across from us had 4 8-10 year girls that decided to stand in the isle and perform a routine either dance class or cheer class.“

“Delicious food, great service, friendly atmosphere, free parking…“

“Enjoyed brunch today w/ my daughter we both enjoyed everything!!! Definitely going back the horchata was AMAZING!! So was the service !“

“We used Mama Soup catering for my little ones drive by birthday. An employee came and set up the soup kettles and sandwiches along with plasticware and to go packages. He was professional, quick, covid safe and so very nice. Not only did everything look great, smell amazing and taste delicious, it was the perfect set up for those who drove by and departed as well as for those who stayed. My family and friends couldn’t rave enough about the food. Those who stayed had seconds and even took leftovers home. The price was reasonable for the amount of food we had. I cannot wait to use Mama Soup again or just stop by for some wholesome goodness! Thank you for making my sons day so special.“

“It is the best Vietnamese noodles place in flushing they don’t use any MSG and the broth is truly top notch!! The most important thing is that the owner is truly kind and you can really feel how much they care about their customers. Iam so happy to have found another favorite restaurant.“

“That food is delicious inexpensive and filling… staff is amazing and place is clean“

“New York bone broth is the absolute best. They are so kind they deliver. Their bone broth are amazing. Their homemade pasta is amazing and they are just totally old-school and we’re so lucky to have them in the area. We can’t get enough of it.“

“soooooo delish! came here on a weekday evening and the girls servicing were so nice! i got a pitaya x green base w/ almond butter (which is so flippin’ good).

definitely on the pricier end, but you pay for the quality and amount; this bowl was beautifully layered and packed!“

“Large selection of noodle soups, wide noodles are cooked well and good portion size. You must get their Korean pancakes here, best around. Super crispy, fluffy and kind of slightly deep dish style which I haven't seen from any other Korean restaurant. They don't provide a selection of ban chan( sides) just a little kimchi and pickled radish.“

“Great customer service: patient, respectful, intelligent feedback to inquiries, admirable communication skills, and the staff help make the store feel welcoming, like family. This store is essential to the community as it inspires life-affirming qualities via their items and overall energies. The MANN Drink is "just right." Detoxx Bar needs more support to stay in the neighborhood.“

“It’s not easy to find authentic vegan restaurants that cook flavorful meals, and give great customer service. I loved how clean the restaurant is and how the menu has so many nice healthy foods to choose from. I’d recommend this restaurant for the picky
eaters like myself!!!!“

“The best pizzeria! Whether you order from the counter or the kitchen, you will always enjoy your meal. The staff is amazing and friendly especially Vinny!“

“Visited from Orlando,Florida and was in the mood for some Guyanese homemade food for brunch. We ate here and they had a wide variety of food options from doubles, cook up, bake and salt fish and various curries paired with The best tasting roti I have had in a long time. We ended it all off with some very tasty Pastries that are homemade in store. The owner Serita is very hospitable and made sure we had everything and that we were well taken care of! If you are ever in the Queens/Long Island area I highly encourage you to stop in for a hearty meal“

“One thing I miss about living in Long Island are the Tex-Mex restaurants. Yes, they're not of the highest quality, and usually they're in a cheap location, and the horrible customer service is always a given, but I do enjoy the food every once in a while.

After searching for a Tex-Mex restaurant, I stumbled across Taco King. This location is actually pretty big with plenty of sitting space. My usual go-to dish at a Tex-Mex place is the Grilled Steak rice platter, so I decided to stick with what I like. I thought the steak here was excellent. It came with one flour tortilla, rice, beans, salad, guac, and chili. The quality and proportion was better than what I expected.

However, it was crazy expensive. I know I sound old, but I remember that only a few years ago, the same dish was about $8 or $9. Now it's over $17! I would gladly eat here more often if the price was cheaper.“

“Rosa’s owner Charlie is Passionate about Food! My Wife and I prefer peppers and mushrooms on our pies and Charlie always crafts the most tasty pie … no onions!

Thank U Charlie…. I appreciate your passion for food and love talking food and wine with you.

Cheers!!!“

“Absolutely delicious, would definitely recommend to everyone“

“My sister and I went to the Regal Movie which is across the from Ni Ramen. We gad the Duck Lychee Curry which was very tender. We also had the Kha Soi which wss very flavorful. We enjoyed the Melon soda. We will be back. Staff very professional.“

“Awesome food is a great location.“

“Casual, amateurish service does nothing to detract from the delicious food. The dishes are deep, complex and sincere. Plating varies from beautiful to mundane. One constant is the wonderful flavors of the food. Will go again and again and watch them sharpen up the lesser skills while delighting in excellent food at very low prices!“

“Great variety, excellent service. Half cannoli/half lily with nuts - DELICIOUS!“

“A great hole-in-the-wall Korean restaurant. They only serve one dish (or rather, bowl). And it's beef and cabbage soup with rice. Also known as Sogogi-gukbap (소고기 국밥).
Only 2 questions are asked:
1) how many people?
2) spicy or not spicy?

And those are the only questions that need to be asked. The servers are nice and attentive.
There's a reason why this place has been here for as long as it has.
The food is delicious and the best way to describe it is: just like mom used to make it.“

“La mejor pizza Mexican pizza deliciosa Que no se encuentra en otro lugar“

“I had eaten halal Bukhari Uzbek food many times before, but if you are hosting strict kosher keepers in Queens who were bored of the typical pizza or grill joints, this was a must try for out of town guests.
I introduced my friends to many different Samsa (average), Plov (excellent, but only one recipe), Manti (average, real Georgian places are better), and IL salad (excellent, better than some Mediterranean places), everything was fresh and nothing disappointed.
I just wish they had changed the name 6 years ago after they started closing every Saturday, as C.S.S. is quite the mouthful to remember while gossiping about good places to try. they have about a dozen seats inside and another dozen on a sidewalk shed with quiet low foot traffic. for VHQ adherents, this is a must try, then try again and again until you've sampled the entire menu.“

“The food is always delicious. My go to is the Lomo Saltado. The service and environment is always so welcoming“

“This restaurant doesn't follow the crowd. We only sampled a small portion, which was satisfactory. Though compact, this place commands attention. The personnel provided rapid assistance with proper respect. I feel lucky to have visited this place!“

“First time back in 13 years and the quality and service is as great as ever.“

“Amazing noodle soup. I got the green pepper big bowl with fish. Did not expect the bowl to be so huge. Intense numbing spice that you acclimate to throughout the meals I ate the whole thing and got free extra noodles. I was late to meet my friends after due to the itis but it was worth it“

“This restaurant serves the best Vietnamese and Chinese food in town. The food is Fresh. their Pho is delicious. It’s a family owned and family oriented restaurant. The waiter Alex is the nicest man in the world. They have the best price. You won’t break the bank eating here. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The food is delicious! I love it. I recommend this place and It’s not expensive.“

“Wonderful service and great pizza. Highly recommend Grandma's pizzq.“

“It's not dine in. I ordered on UE first but then started picking up to avoid all of the tacked on costs. Best egg rolls ever! They don't seem to reuse the oil so much that they taste off and they somehow have always made them so they're never dripping with oil. Obviously I haven't had a good egg roll in a while.

They also actually listen to preferences. I always ask for crunchy broccoli and am so disappointed when I get overcooked or soggy broccoli that will never reheat well. They have done this consistently. My go to Chinese spot now!“

“Mexican food like grandma used to make, including homemade tortillas and non-menu items like (the best) mole (you will ever have in your life, and chilaquiles that will kick your a*** The milder green sauce is spicier than most places' red sauce. Connected to a Mexican bakery located next door.“

“I saw vin Sparacello perform … it was awesome lol“

“Took my daughter's there for the 1st time and they loved it. Short wait time (around 5mins). As soon as we got to the table we were immediately given hot bread that my daughter's attacked like a pack of wolves. The bread warm and delicious. Then the food came. They were eating it and their eyes opened up and they gave a thumbs up. I am beyond happy with this place. My new go to. Forget applebees...they are horrible (I'm talking about the one on gateway...really unprofessional). Even the drinks were strong. Service was really good. Great job.“

“Great place staff is good ppl nice“
