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'll try to keep this to the point —

I gave Food/Service/Atmosphere 5 🌟 because they were on par for me. For a local spot, this really took me by surprise.

What I ordered:

Miso Soup:
Standard Miso Soup, nothing groundbreaking, but very tasty. Would have loved a tad more tofu & scallion, but that's just me.

Salmon Avocado Hand roll:
Not the hand roll I expected meaning it wasn't in the cone shape I'm familiar with, but it came presented like a taco with the seaweed as the shell. Salmon cuts were huge, and with great colour, avocado was bright & ripe, coupled with the perfect amount of rice. Everything tasted clean, and fresh.

Yellowtail Jalapeno Nigiri:
I messed up with this, originally I wanted a sushi roll, but my brain flubbed. Great mistake though, because the yellowtail was delicious, practically melted in my mouth, topped with a delicate cut of jalapeno on top.

Love Milk Tea:
Honestly, just a really delicious milk tea topped with osmanthus flower. It was light, refreshing, and not too sweet thankfully.

Wagyu Tataki:
Tataki is meant to be briefly seared on the outside, but the center remains raw. Was this seared to the degree I wanted? No. But, was it delicious? Yes. And the meat was incredibly tender, flavour of the sauces really complimented everything on the plate.

I finished off with a matcha cheesecake to go, I'm sure it'll be good.

With tip, I spent $67

Again, for a local spot in Richmond Hill/Kew Gardens, I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Personally, with slight adjustments, these folks would do great in midtown. I spent a little under what I would spend at a restaurant in the city, and got an incredibly satisfying meal, and left full.“

“I do love to eat oysters in there. Great service & best food.“

“Good Ramen 🍜 and environment“

“Chef Papa is an authentic Vietnamese spot and I loved the food here. The beef pho had a rich, flavorful broth, the fried chicken was crispy and juicy, and the spring rolls were fresh and delicious. The beef sandwich was amazing and definitely a highlight. Everything tasted authentic and well made. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Vietnamese food!“

“First of all just want to say the lobster bisque and New England clam chowder are both amazing. My family and I have tried pretty much everything here and never disappointed.
They make there own juices and desserts. So it’s fresh just like the food. Everything cooked when ordered.
It’s small but the food, cleanliness and great service is what matters to me family.“

“It was my first time eating at Olive Garden and I must say, it wasn't half bad. Our server was great and very attentive, and seemed to always be right there when we needed refills or more bread. Like I said, this was my first time eating at Olive Garden but Based on this experience, I'd go back. Of course there was one nit. The table across from us had 4 8-10 year girls that decided to stand in the isle and perform a routine either dance class or cheer class.“

“My first time trying coconut hot pot and I’ve clearly been missing out! The coconut broth was light and sweet, and way easier on the stomach than a regular hot pot.

We visited on one of the coldest days, and the restaurant was PACKED. It’s located in Downtown Flushing, literally right next to Tangram. It’s also more affordable than other coconut hot pot spots in the city, with a heartier portion too.

Shoutout to the impeccable service — our server even helped skim off the floating oil from the broth (and made me want to buy that ladle lol).

＊Coconut Chicken (for two) 皇椰雞套餐 $75.95
They use cage-free chicken, and the pieces were generously sized with not too much bone. This portion was already enough to feed four. The set also comes with vegetables, plus your choice of rice or noodles. The coconut broth wasn’t heavy at all that we were basically sipping it nonstop.

＊Poached Egg & Beef Clay Pot Rice 窩蛋牛肉煲仔飯 +$15
You get a discounted price if you add their claypot rice to your hot pot order. It looked very promising and delicious, especially with the runny poached egg. But I thought the rice needed a few more minutes in the clay pot to crisp up the base a bit more.

＊Maxi’s Noodle Wonton 雲吞妹雲吞 $9.95
The price is pretty steep for just three wontons, but I love Maxi’s so much that I still went for it. The shrimp wontons were so plump and meaty.

＊Handmade Battered Shrimp 極品鮮蝦滑 $12.95
SOOOO GOOD I am a fan of shrimp paste in a hot pot.“

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

“Had a great time, great food and good beers 🍺“

“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.“

“Delicious food, great service, friendly atmosphere, free parking…“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Came here for dinner with my mom and left completely satisfied. I had the spicy seafood kalguksu (mild spicy) — the broth was clean, deeply savory, and the hand-cut noodles had the perfect chew. My mom got the spicy seafood sujebi (regular spicy) and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The seafood was fresh and the portion was generous.
The atmosphere is warm and the service is genuine — you can tell this place is run with real care. If you're looking for authentic Korean noodle soup in the area, Daesung Korean Noodle is the real deal. Highly recommend for anyone craving handmade kalguksu or sujebi done right.“

“I have to say this place is now one of my absolute favorites. It’s been a week and I’m still obsessed with the food. I’m heading back as soon as I finish this because it was that incredible.
We found it by accident—the amazing smell pulled us in while heading to a nearby café. We both got brisket pho: my husband with extra noodles and meat, me with lemongrass spicy broth and extra meat. The flavors were perfect, tender brisket, just the right kick. We were too busy savoring to talk at first.
Our server was so sweet and offered us free sodas on the house when she heard it was our first time. The vibe was cozy and relaxed.
The french fries looked amazing next door—next time we’re sharing them for sure.
If you love Vietnamese food, go! Everything was spot on. Can’t wait to be back 😊“

“Great food, and I love the fact that they don’t expect you to tip, but the service can be a bit slow and it can get very crowded where you feel like your sitting on top of the person next to you. That being said earlier in the day it’s usually pretty empty“

“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!“

“My friend and I - both longtime lovers of Asian cuisine - were originally headed to another spot for lunch, but it was closed for a break until 5 PM. Hungry Monster was nearby, so we decided to give it a try - and we’re so glad we did!
Though the restaurant is small, it’s incredibly cozy and comfortable, with a mix of four-person tables and bar-style seating with stools. When we arrived, there were only a couple of teenagers sipping smoothies, so we practically had the place to ourselves. That meant we got the full attention of our wonderful waiter, Biscuit, who was very attentive and made us feel well cared for from start to finish.
We both ordered their signature dish package - I chose the soup-based seafood package, and my friend ordered the beef version. Each dish came served in a small cauldron, full of different ingredients and rich flavor. The portions were generous, so I ended up taking half of mine home. As a nice touch, they packed my leftovers in a high-quality branded bag with the restaurant’s name, which I really appreciated.
We ended our meal with drinks - mine was a refreshing grapefruit and lemon green tea, and my friend had a Mango Tea Yakult, which was fruity, creamy, and perfectly balanced.
The ambiance added to the experience. The decor combines traditional Asian elements with anime-style art, even on the bathroom door! It was fun, vibrant, and gave the place a unique personality. Pleasant background music played throughout the meal - it was noticeable enough to enhance the atmosphere but soft enough not to interfere with conversation.
Some practical notes:
• They offer delivery, and you can get a 10% discount on takeout if you pay in cash.
• They’re open every day.
• The only downside is parking - limited spots in front of the restaurant and no obvious public parking nearby. You can risk parking in the nearby plaza, but there are tow warnings posted. Thankfully, we didn’t have any trouble.
All in all, we had a wonderful lunch at Hungry Monster. The food was fantastic, the service was top-notch, and the whole experience felt welcoming and personal. We’ve been to many Asian restaurants before, and this one stood out in the best way.
If you enjoy Asian cuisine, we highly recommend Hungry Monster. We’ll definitely be coming back! 5/5 stars“

“Absolutely delicious, would definitely recommend to everyone“

“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.“

“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!“

“Awesome food is a great location.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Discovered this place a few years ago with my friends that lived close by. Easily became regulars and kept bringing others to this hidden gem. I cant count the number of times i got no65 bun dac biet and the young chow fried rice. The meaning of the name of dish became very special to me when my friends left the country. My boyfriend loves this place and drives all the way from nj without me… to get the wonton soup with noodles. The owners are also so kind and warm— greeting us in korean 💕🥺 this is my favorite restaurant in ny— something about the food feels so comforting and delicious.“

“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.“

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

“I saw vin Sparacello perform … it was awesome lol“

“🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝“

“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“

“Had an amazing meal here! We ordered their special dishes — roast goose, soy sauce chicken, and beef brisket hotpot — and everything was absolutely delicious. The roast goose was perfectly crispy with juicy meat, the soy sauce chicken was so tender and flavorful, and the beef brisket hotpot was rich and comforting. You can really taste the quality and care in every dish. The staff were friendly and the food came out fresh and hot. Definitely one of the best Cantonese meals I’ve had — can’t wait to come back!“

“Overall a nearly excellent burger in the Shake Shack style can be had here! There's about 20 different styles of burgers with creative combinations. We had the O'dada and double whammy burgers. Both were overall very good with fresh, high quality ingredients and an excellent brioche style roll. The main problem we had was the burgers were a bit too greasy and excessively juicy which kept us from giving a 5 star rating.. It was difficult eating these burgers without making a mess and the fatty juices were flowing out like a fountain. Despite this these are still probably the best burgers in Queens due to high quality ingredients and being very tasty. The service was quick and friendly! Recommended if you're in the area and you're craving a Shake Shack style burger.“
