50 Best Soup near Valley Stream

“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“

“This is the best takeout Chinese I have had and I’ve tried just about every place! The chicken is always fresh and is white meat chicken and I never get a weird piece or rubbery chewy piece it’s always perfect!! Their beef dishes are great too!“

“😁😋 comida fresca, saludable y deliciosa“

“I came with my lady and the staff treated us with respect and tended to our request with grace. Our waiter Saiful was such a gentleman and was great! Definitely was a great impression for my lady as it was her first time. She was very impressed.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I was recently there for a graduation dinner that just so happened to be father’s day, My server Vanessa made sure we felt welcomed and provided top service. It was so refreshing to receive such amazing service on such a busy day, especially for such a big group at such a late time. Thank you so much Vanessa!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had a really great experience here. We ordered a steak torta, steak tacos, birria tacos, jamaica, and horchata. The jamaica was very refreshing and the horchata was sweet and delicious. The steak was tender and well seasoned and the torta ingredients all tasted very fresh. The server was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is great, the place is very clean and nicely decorated, and we enjoyed listening to music by various Mexican artists throughout our meal. We will definitely be making Sivar Food Mexican Grill our go-to local Mexican spot!“

“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.“

“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!“

“i feel sooo happy just walking in to that place, with the warmest and most professional atmosphere, and then i get completely happy after getting my food and juices...😋😋😋 recommend 1000000% out of 100“

“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.“

“My daughter recently ate at this establishment. Upon leaving the restaurant after having a delicious meal, she suddenly saw the manager chasing her down the block with her watch. She had accidentally left the watch on the table. the honesty and effort was very much appreciated .“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely delicious, would definitely recommend to everyone“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Wonderful little spot; love they are family owned and operated.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“First time eating here best Portuguese food in a long time!“

“Perfect Combo Set Noodle soup & Fried Skewers.You can choose any protein ( Beef, Chicken, Lamb, Fish ) and 3 Skewers + Drink for $21.99.I’ve got the Fish Noodle soup & Chicken Skewers, the broth was creamy and rich of flavors and the chicken skewers was so tender.They also serve snacks like stinky tofu and Braised meat.This is a perfect place for a meal or afternoon snack.“

“🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝“

“Absolutely 💯 out of 10 Service Servers Food Experience Amazing!! do not miss out!! we will definitely be back!!“

“The Ancona, no better panini! Come to Capo in Franklin Square and get one! Tell Paul I said Hi.“

“You get what you pay for in these neighborhoods, and while this deli might price a thing or two above the competition, the service, skills and food are a cut above the rest. I can save a dollar and get a disappointing sandwich that was made wrong or with cheap ingredients in Bayside, or I can have a sandwich that is so good it makes literally makes my day. It’s an easy choice at this point. Best guys behind the counter, with decades of experience, and good will. Save yourself the frustration with the other delis around little neck, Douglaston and Bayside, and call in your next lunch here. Cheers“

“If your looking for good eats and a place to have an ultimate experience with customer service this is it the best/cheapest oxtail in NYC I myself my wife and my father in law love it here and we will continue to come truly a staple in the community“
