37 Best Soup in New York

“very authentic Chinese restaurant. like the decor. service is 👍“

“My daughter chose this for a birthday dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic. Audrey was our server. She was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, made great recommendations, she was there when we needed her without being there too often. I would highly recommend Rosella Sushi. Can’t wait to get back to New York City and return for a meal here. It also makes it extra cool when Chef Jeff is wearing a Florida Gator hat!“

“From all the hype and reels and videos about the place I expected a lot.

Ramen was good but a bit flat in flavors.
I ordered the combo set with added toppings but ended up getting the basic dish and only half way through the rest arrived.

The Macha desert was great.“

“Wo Hop is a true NYC classic and absolutely worth the visit. The beef chow fun is amazing, but don’t sleep on the vegetable dishes — the Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce and the green beans with black bean sauce are outstanding. The egg rolls are just right, and the pork fried rice is excellent. Add in the old-school staff who keep things moving with charm, and you’ve got one of the best Chinatown dining experiences around. A legendary spot that always delivers!“

“All the dishes were fantastic, but my favorite was the tandoori lamb kebab, it was absolutely delicious. The exterior was perfectly crispy, yet the meat remained tender and juicy. If you love lamb, you definitely need to try it. I ate an entire pound on my own. The guyru laghman was also great, with rich and flavorful seasoning. While the other dishes might not have been as remarkable, they were still well above average. The only thing that didn’t suit my taste was their dessert. The dessert was overly sweet, almost excessively so, though that might be their signature style. As for the service, it seems like only their daughter speaks English, but her voice is quite soft, and it feels like she’s contributing to the family business out of obligation. However, this doesn’t affect anything, I’d still go back again.“

“Dweji-gomtang (pork bone broth soup) is really smooth and clear. You could taste the richness of the pork while drinking the broth. The pork is slicing into really thin slices and it goes really well with the gochu-ji. The spicyness balances the greasy taste of the pork. The side dish kimchi radish is crisp and balanced the whole dish. The restaurant is a little bit small and doesn’t have a lot of space, but definitely worth a try for its pork broth soup“

“Amazing food, authentic- and the staff are so attentive and kind!“

“incredible place. the mohinga is nothing like you would expect from a fish soup— the broth is light, mild, and the chickpea fritters compliment it wonderfully. we asked if we can purchase the fritters anywhere, and they said they get it from a friend who makes them at home and does not sell. the iced milk tea is strong and refreshing. the tea leaf salad with anchovies has the right crunch without any fishy smell and the chilli that comes with it adds a nice depth— it was rich in flavor without being spicy and just refreshing.“

“An amazing place with great services. I love the udon menu. We will go back when we are in town again.“

“Had dinner there tonight celebrating my mom’s birthday, good food attentive service“

“The waiters in white coats are busy behind the counter, the menu has not changed for decades, and even the lighting seems to have remained in the last century - this is the old New York I want.“

“I don’t know how it’s possible that a broth place had a better smoothie than half the smoothie places I’ve been to in New York but I’m not questioning. Congrats guys — you know high quality food and drink. Thank you! Will be back!“

“I've been the first time in NYC and i wanted to try some Japanese food, so i went to KUU Ramen. The ambiente ist very small and calm. All the waitresses were so nice and the food was just amazing i ate there the best japenese Teryiaki Chicken ever in my life(i'm an japenese food expert)!!!! Ever again when i'm in nyc!!!!!!“

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

“Very nice, good food, good service.“

“Sao Mai is my go-to Vietnamese restaurant and has been for the past seven years. My favorite dish is the cơm bù lúc lắc (beef cubes)—absolutely delicious. Their pho tai is incredible, and the shrimp summer roll is a must-try (I just add a dash of hot sauce to the sauce they provide). I love that it’s family-owned with a warm, friendly small-business atmosphere, and their prices are fantastic.“

“Simplemente impresionante. No pensamos que algo así pudiera existir en NY. Los sabores propuestos son increíbles. El valor no está en las paredes o mobiliario, sino en lo que llevas a tu paladar y la atención personalísima, atenta y divertida. Gracias, gracias, gracias...“

“The food was delicious! My fiancé and I enjoyed every dish, the service, and the ambiance! We will be back.“

“Amazing lobster snd crab rolls! So authentic….Makes you think you can smell the sea air!“

“Looking for an old-school midtown Manhattan bar with martinis, beer, and friendly staff? P.J. Carney’s Pub is the real deal. I’ve stopped in wearing professional clothes after client meetings and also in dance gear after class… either way, it’s relaxed and welcoming. So few bars in Midtown feel this easy. The wings are great, the drinks are strong, and the vibe is no-nonsense. In a city full of overpriced hype, this hidden gem near the N/W subway line stands out as one of the best neighborhood bars in Manhattan.“

“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!“

“Luke's lobster is known for the lobster dishes, as the lobster rolls but I went there looking for a clam chowder (New England style) and wasn't disappointed. Creamy and tasty. I missed a touch of bacon, but I guess this is not on the traditional recipe.
And next time I should definitely go for the lobster roll.
It's a small and cozy place. You can dine in or take away.“

“Perfect lobster roll ...so tasty 😋“

“Great food, nice services, good amenities.“

“Good place“

“Honestly. Unreal. So delicious. The mera mera soba has a deep sesame flavor. Its creamy. But not too heavy. So fragrant. Delicious.
I understand why the ‘mera mera dip’ is an option now. It probably keeps the noodles from overcooking while they’re in the broth. The soup version (not dip) was amazing, but I’d try the dip next time to make sure the soba doesn’t keep cooking and get soft.
They have cold noodles / cold soba which looks amazing and refreshing.
The prices are ok. ~$18-20 per meal. For the quality, I think it’s worth it.
Nice place to seat solo or with a group. They have several bar/window seats, which makes it good for a solo eat.
I will go back for sure.
Cash only !!! No card/credit.“

“Fish banh mi is the best fish sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. The fish is SUPER fresh and tender/flakey, the fish fillet breading is not too thick, the fresh made house baguette is soft (not stale at all), the pickled carrots also tasted fresh and not like they’ve been sitting around like other banh mi spots. Love they have a wide delivery radius and go downtown. The fried chicken banh mi is flavorful too but spicy.“

“Delicious! I had the wonton noodle soup, and there’s a reason it’s posted in huge letters right outside the restaurant. Wontons were stuffed with large shrimp and pork, SO TASTY and noodles were bouncy and delicious. Happy I stopped by, will definitely be coming back again.“

“I’m a frequent diner at Tsurutontan’s Midtown location, and it never disappoints. The first thing anyone notices are the massive bowls — they always leave an impression and make the meal feel special. I also appreciate how easy it usually is to get a Resy on weeknights, which makes it a reliable go-to spot.

The space is clean, modern, and roomy (a rarity in Midtown), and the food is consistently flavorful. For first-timers, I’d recommend the Tsurutontan Deluxe, but my personal favorites are the Wagyu Truffle Udon and the Sukiyaki Deluxe — both are deeply satisfying and rich in flavor. The sushi is good as well and pairing it with a small bowl udon brings the best of both worlds.

Service isn’t overly attentive, but I actually find that works well if you’re there to have a conversation without interruptions. Overall, it’s a solid spot for comfort food in a stylish setting, whether you’re introducing friends to udon or just craving a familiar favorite.“

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

“Perfect Chinese dining. Beat in ChinaTown!“

“My last visit to Elsa La Reina del Chicharrón was nothing short of amazing. Elsa truly lives up to her name the queen of chicharrón! perfectly seasoned pork, and the flavor doesn’t disappoint. The chicharrón was crispy, juicy, and full of that authentic sazón that’s hard to find anywhere else in the city.

You can tell everything is made with love and pride. The service was friendly, fast, and made me feel like family. If you’re in New York and haven’t been to Elsa yet, you’re seriously missing out. She’s simply the best nobody does it like Elsa!“

“Via Porta is our go to anytime we need a delicious but quick breakfast/lunch. My go to is always the avocado toast, which is truly the best I’ve ever had. The bread has a crunch without being impossible to cut through and still soft inside. They top it with arugula, sliced garlic, pickled onions, roasted red peppers and a few chile peppers. To die for. My husband always gets a different sandwich and has loved all of them, the chicken saltimbocca being his favorite. We ended up grabbing their olive oil loaf and a cheddar chive biscuit last time we were there and wow. I wish I could have that olive oil loaf every day. It was absolutely delicious.“

“I’ve always loved the Lasagna Fritta and the Chicken Alfredo here—never disappoints! The food quality and portion sizes were solid on my last visit, though service was a bit slow around dinner rush. Still a great experience overall. If you’re planning a visit soon, I found olivegardenmenus.net helpful for 2025 Olive Garden Menu with all prices and deals online — which made it easier to decide what to try before I got there.“

“I found a new favorite while browsing Yelp. The spot combines nice atmosphere with genuine care. Employees combine friendliness with practical help. The dishes feature unexpected combinations that impress. Staff attention complemented the good food.“

“We have had the pleasure of dining here many times over the last several years and have always (always!) had not only a wonderful, authentic, homemade-quality Mexican meal, but have had top-shelf service by Carmen and the rest of her staff. It’s like walking into the home of your favorite aunt and uncle who are from the south of Mexico and make fantastic meals! The quesadillas and tacos are great for lunch and quick bites; the fajitas and birria platters are phenomenal for a more filling meal; we’re big fans of the spicy margaritas, but all of their drinks have been delicious. It’s a cozy spot but with enough room for families, happy hour get-togethers, and outdoor seating for pretty days. If you’re looking for an authentic, non-chain, legit homemade Mexican food experience, look no further!“

“Good People - Great Food - just Go! Food so Fresh!“
