50 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!“

“No ramen will ever be as good as ichiran ramen. The customisation, the noodles, garlic, spice. Everything is perfect. I like my ramen at 8 spice level with extra garlic, rich base and firm noodles.

I wish I could eat this daily.
PLEASE open up in London, you’d be a massive hit here. The best ramen I’ve ever had and I would travel to New York just to have this ramen alone.“

“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!“

“This hole in the wall spot serves mind blowing flavors!!! FYI- it’s a small spot so expect to wait a little. We came without a reservation and were seated after 10-15 minutes of walking around the block. From past experience with Burmese food I knew we would get a salad or two, since Burmese salads are the most exciting taste and textures. They had run out of a few dishes (beef skewers and tofu salad) which was a bit challenging but luckily with a vast menu it was easy to replace parts of my initial order. We went for the tea leaf salad, the chicken noodle salad, the chicken curry, a chicken skewer, and the banana cake. The tea leaf salad…WOW. It may appear a little “ugly delicious” with the dark color of the tea leaves but holy moly. The crunch and flavors (garlic, baby shrimps, peanut, etc) made every bite delectable. My second favorite dish of the night was the chicken noodle salad. There was beef or chicken options but we had a Hindu friend with us so opted for chicken. WOW! The creaminess of the dish stood out. Served room temp like a salad. The chicken curry was bone in, but nothing too special a typical curry with basmati rice. Highly recommend the banana cake if you love bananas and coconut. Perfect couple bites of sweet that wasn’t too heavy. The menu also shows what magazines recommend like the New Yorker or Eater so it’s easy to pick out the star dishes. FYI almost all these pics are after a few bites of eating.

Dietary restrictions: Lots of dairy free and gluten free options.“

“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“

“A friend raved about this place, so we made the trek across town to see what the fuss was about. It’s a simple spot with just a window for ordering, but the draw is undeniable. Their bone broth is legendary – truly the best I’ve have had. The menu boasts an overwhelming variety of options, making it tough to choose. We finally settled on the Tom Yum and Oishi Oishi, and both arrived quickly and piping hot. Simply delicious. A must-visit for Bone Broth enthusiasts!“

“We spontaneously stopped by Kuu on a Thursday evening and immediately snagged a table. Both the sushi and the two vegetarian ramen soups were delicious and filling.
The service was also very attentive and friendly. We would definitely come back!“

“Very nice, good food, good service.“

“Everything is just excellent! Very polite staff, very clean, there is a place to sit and eat in peace! And most importantly, the food is simply excellent! I highly recommend everything! We took kharcho soup - there were 4 pieces of beef. We took it for two. I have attached the invoice. There was a lot of food, we took it with us.“

“it's a authentic Jewish deli,food is very good“

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

“Had a belated birthday dinner here last night with my gal friends and it was everything I could’ve hoped for.

This was my first omakase experience! From the hot towel, to the ambiance and service, I felt cared for.

We each did the $65 omakase and it was more than enough food. The sushi was so fresh and creative.

My friends really enjoyed the sweeter sakes and next time I’ll be partaking in a glass myself. The Yuza sake is so delicious.

I will be back and highly recommend this place! Thanks for the hospitality.“

“Classic mom-and-pop style Pho spot. Although there’s a lot of elevated viet restaurants in NYC, sometimes I just prefer the laidback atmosphere and traditional dishes a mom-and-pop shop offers. Their pho broth is delicious and makes you wanting more. I also really like their calamari dish. Highly recommend.“

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

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

“Quite the Chinatown experience! The menu offered an over abundance of Chinese cuisine. I ordered the Sesame Chicken. The portions are large, matches the price. ? If you visit at a busy mealtime, expect a wait, it’s a small restaurant. CASH ONLY.

Parking: You’ll have to find a parking spot on the street. It may be difficult due to the location in Chinatown.

Kid-friendliness: It’s a small restaurant so not much room for a stroller or high chair. Casual atmosphere“

“Great food, nice services, good amenities.“

“If I could leave more than 5 stars I would. Was here back in November, we popped in as we seen it while we were walking past. We ended up coming back 2 or 3 more times as we loved it. The chicken wings are some of the best we’ve ever had and as Irish people we can confidently say the Guinness is some of the best in NYC. Staff and service is exceptional. We will return in the future.“

“the only staff member was very friendly and made a well seasoned lobster roll. she volunteered info and told me about the included cucumber

chill, rustic seaside vibe

can't wait to come back to try the other rolls :)“

“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!“

“I sat in for dinner on a Sunday evening. We had the seafood paella, the pesto pasta, and the Causa! The food was amazing. I didn’t know what I expect as I’ve never had Peruvian food but I think it’s my new favorite spot!! Ingredients were so fresh and flavors were incredible. The atmosphere was also very cute - great vibes, fun bar and good drinks. Highly recommend!“

“Perfect lobster roll ...so tasty 😋“

“Really nice small space with very good service. Menu has clearly marked Vegan appetizers and dishes. Soba and ramen have vegan versions that are clearly marked and listed in their own sections of the menu. Just make sure you specify the Vegan version when ordering. We had the special "Hawaiian Barbecue" Edamame appetizer - amazing!, and I had the Vegan Warm Mera Mera Soba. It was delicious! Highly recommend.“

“Perfect Chinese dining. Beat in ChinaTown!“

“Good place“

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

“Pho is very very delicious! This is probably the best pho I have eaten recently. I recommend the Special Pho which has tripe in it. I have visited many times. The soup is very sweet but not the kind of MSG soup that will make your mouth dry. The rice noodles are also very chewy and have no strange taste. The beef is also delicious and not dry. I think the beef balls are just average. The spring rolls and seafood soup are also very ordinary, I recommend eating Pho. However, it is currently closed for inside use and only for takeout.“

“I love visiting this place for the food—they make delicious meals. However, I’m not entirely happy with the service. While I appreciate the quick delivery of the food, I feel that the service could improve with a bit more attention to the customers“

“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.“

“A sushi restaurant that I happened to stop by on the way to Brian Park.
The indoor atmosphere is not too noisy.
Neat open kitchen
This is a very pleasant udon restaurant filled with curry and truffle aromas.
The food is clean and the menu is varied, which I like.
Of course, the taste is excellent ^^“

“This is how chicharrones are supposed to be made! The crispiest, juiciest and most flavor packed I’ve had from a restaurant frankly ever! It’s quick and (not) dirty, you come in eye the golden crispy piece of pig meat and watch them weight it and hack it up, so satisfying. They have a few side options, I went with the arroz moro (which is a black rice cooked with black beans together) and say yes to the gravy. Make sure you eat it quick so the chicharrones don’t soften, mine lasted a brief car ride home (~15 min) but I couldn’t help taking a few sneak bites in the car. Get you some of the sautéed onions with them, delicious.“

“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.“

“Lobster roll is small but good for the price ($18 including tax). They didn't have the shrimp corn chowder so I tried the clam chowder. It was watery but ok, a little too much carrots for my taste. I would give the lobster roll a try, but due to the high price, I wouldn't buy it again (To be fair it's $22-24 in my home city and it didn't have as much lobster like this one). I would give a different type of soup another try though. I tried the lobster bisque - it was good! Worth a try!
Pay with cash to save 3%.“

“Stumbled upon this place a few years ago and enjoyed it so much we had to return during our latest trip to NYC. It's a small spot with cozy vibes. We ordered tacos and margaritas and everything was delicious! A little bit pricey but worth it to us. Service was also great. Will be back again!“

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

“I love Thai food in general and I have had a lot of it a lot of different places. This is the best chicken pad see ew I think I’ve ever had. The view of 1st Ave is super cute and they played great music so I can’t have asked for a better atmosphere and vibe. The service was lovely and fast. Presentation of the food was also a step above and the place is super clean. I’d highly recommend and I hope I come back soon too. Only complaint was $6 for a sparkling water which I didn’t realize I’d be charged for. Oh well. I’ll skip it next time.“

“You cannot beat their happy hour! Each piece of sushi is around double the size of your typical NYC piece. I also got the sushi tacos and those were fun and different from what I typically get. I also got a bottle of the cold sake. I will definitely be coming back here soon!“

“Delicious soups and reasonably priced!“

“Very good well done food.“

“Dare I say it... some of the best soup in NYC? The counter service is quick, courteous and professional. The soup selection filled with 6-8 classics. They all taste exactly as they should, consistently every day. The Moroccan Lamb Stew is a personal favorite of mine and I highly recommend it.If you're a tourist on a budget (or otherwise) and the weather is cool enough for soup, do not deny yourself some of the best lunch in the neighborhood. Solid 5 Stars!!!“

“We were treated like family as soon as we walked through the door. Quality of the food and presentation was outstanding. Service was friendly and professional, oval a great dining experience and we really enjoyed ourselves. Shrimp appetizer and short ribs were delicious.“

“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 💯!!!“

“Kbap & Wings in Midtown Manhattan is the perfect spot for comforting Korean food under $15. The 6-piece soy garlic or snow cheese wings are a must-try for just $12—crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. Don’t miss the chewy rice cake skewers or the hearty bulgogi kimbap. Pair it all with a refreshing Milkis, and you’ve got the perfect meal!“

“I had an amazing dining experience at Benjamin Steakhouse in New York. The steak was one of the best I've ever had – cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively, making the evening even more enjoyable. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great steak in the city!“

“Amazing roll that held up to every expectation we had.“

“Best sandwiches and people.“
