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!“

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

“Been wanting to try this place forever, finally got around to it on a cloudy, chillier summer day where I wanted something warm, and boy am I glad I did. This place has the best value for legitimate soup in NYC. I'm not talking your watered down soups with canned vegetables from some the grab and go lunch spots with hot bars in the area, I'm talking quality broth and ingredients. I got the Lobster Bisque, which is excellent on its own, but for $14 - the large size, you also get a delicious chunk of baguette, an apple and a piece of chocolate. Terrific value. Come to the counter prepared, it was a quick handoff, and I will certainly be back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Kuu exceeded my expectations in every way. The quality was outstanding, the service was smooth and professional, and the overall experience was excellent from start to finish. Everything was handled with care and attention to detail. I highly recommend Kuu to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality experience. Definitely deserves five stars!“

“Very good well done food.“

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

“this place is amazing; the food the service and the atmosphere….its jus sooo good and fresh and i appreciate that they are in my neighborhood

fany and phyo have both helped me and they are kind and friendly and knowledgeable

mikado, you’re fortunate to have both fany and phyo on your side

give this place a try you won’t regret“

“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.“

“Great food, nice services, good amenities.“

“Just finished eating here and this place is amazing. We ordered the Sesame Chicken and Young Chow Fried Rice. The Sesame Chicken was delicious as it wasn’t too sweet, but instead hits right on the spot. The Fried Rice tasted really good. The waiters were pretty nice and it wasn’t crowded when we came so we only had to wait like 10 minutes for the food. The atmosphere is very decorated and clean which adds to the authentic Chinese restaurant look. Overall, I recommend this place and if you’re in the area, try it out!“

“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!“

“This is such a lovely spot. I first tried this spot many years ago. There used to be a Polish restaurant one block south of here, Neptune. We would go there and then come to brodo and grab a broth to go, often for my dad in the VA hospital up on 23 St. few places would sell you just broth.

I absolutely love the Hearth broth and you can add the ginger turmeric, which I highly recommend. I also ordered and tried the beef broth with ginger and turmeric, it was fine. Oddly enough, the hearth had a richer, beefier flavor than the beef did. It’s just a heartier flavor, I highly recommend it. I could easily pop over to enjoy a cup of broth in place of my daily coffee, it’s a similarly comfortable cup that travels well.“

“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.“

“my favorite vietnamese restaurant in the area—this place has gotten me through for YEARS. pho broth is so flavorful and the staff are really kind. recently brought a friend here who has a lot of allergies and they double checked with the kitchen and gave specific recommendations, honestly the most accommodating restaurant ive been to.“

“The food is consistently fresh and tasty. So happy to have an excellent Szechwan restaurant in a neighborhood where good Chinese cuisine is sorely lacking.“

“First time at Benjamin Steakhouse on 41st. It was AMAZING! Upscale atmosphere yet comfortable. Service was top notch in every detail. I selected from a prix fixe menu that was delicious. Excellent taste & quality and affordable in NYC. Great wine selection. Overall , highly recommend. Everything was perfect!“

“Surprised to find decent Xinjiang food in Manhattan.

Ding ding fried noodles were quite authentic, just a bit salty. Lamb pilaf wasn’t greasy, which I liked. Lamb skewers were tender and not gamey.

Service was okay but a bit inexperienced — had to remind for water.

Overall, good food, service could be better.“

“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.“

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

“Delicious soups and reasonably priced!“

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

“This place stands the test of time with its reliable quality. Staff offers a friendly welcome to all visitors. The menu balances delicious options, fresh ingredients, and attractive presentation. Despite size constraints, this place stays busy. You should try their complete selection.“

“This Indian buffet is the perfect lunch spot! It’s convenient, reasonably priced, and the food was absolutely delicious. There was a great variety of fresh, flavorful dishes, and everything I tried was excellent. I definitely look forward to coming back again. Highly recommend!“

“We stopped here for lunch after searching for a place that can accommodate gluten-free and other dietary restrictions everyone was incredibly helpful and kind. The Pineapple Fried Rice and Pad Thai was delicious! We would definitely come again!“

“Perfect lobster roll ...so tasty 😋“

“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 💯!!!“

“Had such a great dinner at Sushi Dairo. The sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the chef was so kind and welcoming. Also love that it’s an easy walk-in spot—no hassle, just great food and a relaxed vibe. Will definitely be back!“

“Ottima qualità del cibo Aragosta ottima“

“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!“

“Good place“

“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. 🙂😍“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Clam chowder was tasty .Friendly staff .“

“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!“

“The food is delicious and the service attitude is very good.“

“Best sandwiches and people.“

“We ordered almost all the famous Burmese dishes one can think of. Surprisingly it has almost everything from back home. They taste great and authentic.

My only complaint is the portion size. The amount of money it charges like a fine dining restaurant. I paid 30 bucks for large tea leaves salad and it's still too small of a size.

No washroom for customers. The space is too small for dine in as a big group.

This is one of the places that could definitely give mixed feelings.“

“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!!!“

“Perfect Chinese dining. Beat in ChinaTown!“

“Their signature mera mera is very tasty. You should get it with another soup on the side since the flavor is very intense and it’s nice to switch between the flavors.

The karaage is also better than expected. Even though they forgot we ordered it and it took 50+ minutes to come out… first time I’ve ever had an appetizer come out when I’m ordering dessert.

Staff is aloof and you’ll have to flag people down for stuff even when they are not busy.

They have nice windows for you to watch the street.“

“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“
