I eat fish and meat everything. I love vege as well
Souen's dressing is different. Tofu dill, carrot are so good.
the best time is the lunch time soon they open, get your seat. the staff are honest and warm.
next time I will bring my mother and eat more dessert.

I embarked on my evening in search of a hearty soup, a cozy space, a sense of solace, nothing pompous or loud or overpriced, just a bowl of hot soup. I found that and even more at Souen. The waiter emanated a gentleness that soothed me right away, the rose lemonade delighted my palate with its delicate floral notes, and the soup was SO nourishing. I especially delighted in watching the passersby outside the little round window. I still don’t know what macrobiotic food is but I’m never going back to microbiotic thank you Souen ❤️

I was introduced to this restaurant in 2000, 25 later on the food is still fantastic. Very simple restaurant with awesome tasting food. Love the cozy minimalist atmosphere.

I love Souen! I went here with my friends and it was a great place to talk over dinner. The atmosphere was really relaxing and the restaurant is so cute inside. Our waiter was so kind and helpful when we were deciding what to order. They have a variety of vegetarian options to choose from and everything that we ordered was so delicious! My favorite dishes are the summer rolls and peanut lime tofu.

Their macro plate is wonderful when you wanna have cooked vegetables. I’m not sure about what oils they use, however

Loved the food. Tasty and healthy. The service was very friendly, attentive and polite. Also the food came very fast. I will definitely be back.
The food is so bland, there is a way to be healthy AND delicious, unfortunately this place nails the health (probably) but the taste is worse than home cooking and not cheap.

Souen is an awesome and unique restaurant! They have been serving up healthy “macrobiotic” food since the 1970s. The majority of the menu is vegan with the exception of various items that contain fish. If you’re looking for a wholesome meal made of unprocessed, high-quality plant-based foods, there are surprisingly few options in New York City, and Souen is not one to miss. Their signature item is the macro plate that comes with the grain, legume, and vegetable of the day. Their menu has several categories of Japanese-inspired items including sushi, ramen, noodle dishes, and stir fries. They also have a number of special entrees and appetizers each day. We were hoping they’d be seed oil free (since that is definitely the vibe) but they do use sunflower oil in some dishes. We tried the pesto noodles, the squash tofu, the broccoli tofu, and the summer roll and loved all of the above. Squash sauce is a brilliant innovation. We tried the corn chocolate chip muffin that was less impressive than the other things we tried. Overall, we appreciated the great wholesome good, the reasonable prices for generous portions, and the good service. I wish there were more places like Souen. We will definitely be back for more.

Everything about Souen is perfect to me. Macrobiotic food, simple flavors, friendly service, and a vibe of a bygone NYC era that feels effortlessly preserved. Hope it’s here forever.

I had a delicious meal here (and ended with a bad dessert) I ordered the pad Thai and ginger salmon. The pad Thai was creamy and deeply flavorful. The veggies had the perfect bite while being soft and blending well with the pasta and the peanut sauce was very balanced. I’d give this dish an 8.3. The salmon was great as well but did have a slightly fishy flavor and I felt like the sauce was just put on top after rather than cooked in - 6.8. For dessert I ordered the chocolate mousse and I just did not enjoy it. There was no depth in flavor and the texture was weird. 5.1. I still desired a sweet treat so I got the blueberry chocolate chip muffin (I thought it sounded like an interesting combination) and it was the worst muffin I have ever had. Truly. It was gluten free like all their desserts and it fell apart immediately, was just so crumbly in the worst way - 3.2. The service was amazing (they even took the mousse off my bill) and it was a very nice atmosphere with great vibes! Even though I had a mixed experience, I will definitely be back!

I love this restaurant! It’s a perfect place to eat if you just want…food. No fusion deep fried schizophrenic influencer menu bait. It’s bland, simple, and that’s why we love it. Get the specials or the white fish soup.
