On my visit to NYC, I was lucky to stop at this place! Had no idea until I arrived it was THE…read moreoriginal soup kitchen, made famous from Seinfeld. I was able to go twice, and the first time, I kept it safe for me and tried their black bean soup in a small cup. First off, the soup size was generous and perfect amount for a light dinner. Second off, it came with a slice of bread and plum. I never heard of or had a plum with soup until that day. For a less humid, but still warm NYC August day, it cooled me off after the hot soup :) Third off, the bean soup was great. Was not too salty like other one's I've had or boring tasting either. And it was $7 for everything, so no complaints. On my second visit, I got the infamous lobster bisque. I don't think I'd had one in my life before, or one that was memorable. I was able to grab and have it in park, and again- didn't disappoint especially for $10. They gave a generous amount of lobster, but still creamy and light. Miss this place, and it would be my go-to if I lived in the neighborhood especially in the winter. No soup for you!

Wow, I made soups myself and all of them are better than this. I'm certain this place is no longer making the same level of soup as they did back in the day or it would be out of business very fast. Service was quick but only option is to go so atmosphere is a Togo experience outside. I tried to be honest with myself did I have inflated expectations because of its fame? My partner had never watched Seinfeld and had no interest whatsoever in going to this place but she loves good food and soup. After we finished she told me every soup I have ever made for her was significantly better than this so she was not impressed. Next time I'm in NYC "No soup for me"! Hard pass!

But i just feel like a tool if i pay more than $7 for a 16oz soup from a deli or cafe. Maybe it's because I'm Asian and there are plenty of noodle soup options at restaurants which are made to order and very filling for about the same price. But good thing I stumbled across this soup cart as there's definitely value here... So i ordered a 16oz Boston clam chowder with 2 complimentary breads for $5.50 + 50 cents for an extra bread: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/S9jozPu284_RluHdfPhUug?select=Q9l7Aaqf7VhTA4PV5g8Dyg The vendor exhibited ladling mastery as the soup was packed to the brim without any spillage: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/S9jozPu284_RluHdfPhUug?select=8R8uU4LwKNUEqsq26VWFCA The potatoes and cream were on the low side, but the soup was still very good. Sure the prices are about the same as a Cafe Europa. But the cart's soup has the vendor's personal touch to it and i like supporting small businesses whenever i can. I also like the different types of bread available: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/S9jozPu284_RluHdfPhUug?select=e3Y_5UG_a_41gWFw6E_LWw The selection is much better than the dinky pieces The Original Soupman gives. But i would recommend not ordering an extra slice like i did as two pieces for a 16oz soup is more than enough for even a serious dunker like me. The soup was so good i ordered it again yesterday (Wednesday). Here's a shot of the roll he gave me: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/S9jozPu284_RluHdfPhUug?select=mQpIETo1QNFoCZg8tffuyg Summary: Great soup here. I like it~!

Just because I'm the family Yelper means I want to do work lol. Simple set up. Either order up front or at a kiosk. Has seating for about a dozen. We found it difficult to customize a salad on the kiosk so after ordering my wife talked to the gent up front who made sure the kitchen didn't botch the order. I ordered the Korean chicken sandwich. Chicken is juicy. Coating is crisp. Sauce is tangy, sweet, and spicy all at once. The girls shared a chicken basket with sauces on side. Wife had the Cobb salad.They also sell bubble teas and smoothies This could have been anywhere in SD and nothing at all screams a "New York experience" but it was a good solid meal.

My friend and I were walking by on a cold, blustery autumn afternoon. There it was, a restaurant that held the promise of a nice, big delicious bowl of piping hot soup. I was actually looking for a Thai restaurant but I was so cold. We decided to just walk in. It's a nice looking restaurant, particularly the Asian-style overhead light fixtures. It was about 1:30pm on a Saturday in Hell's Kitchen. That turned out to be prime time for lunch. It was crowded. The staff was both nice and quick. My friend ordered a beef and noodle soup, which he managed to finish. I ordered a roast pork wonton noodle soup. Both soups arrived steaming hot. They hit the spot on a cold day. I couldn't finish my order. I took it home and got two more meals out of it. That was such a nice meal.

I walked from my office to the Vanderbilt location, which BTW is not around the corner, but I thought I would get the notification by the time I get there. NO NOTIFICAITION. Finally walked up to the counter and asked about order #189. The young woman confirmed my order and grabbed a sandwich from the Grab-to-Go section. I asked what happed to the notification and why am I getting a sandwich that is sitting in the Grab-to-Go section. I received a vague response from her that it depends how busy they are it would be a good idea to order online.... WHAT???? Anyway, I needed to get back to work. I get here, opened my sandwich and surprise - IS NOT THE TURKEY BLT-Avocado sandwich, even though the label say it is. I cannot even rationalize what is going on here. Bottom line will not be returning to Brett's. The one positive thing is that this imposter sandwich was good. Had no choice but to eat the lunch I walked to pick up. See PICTURES.

After a Broadway show, my wife and I wandered down the restaurant-lined streets nearby and noticed…read morethis Thai spot on the corner packed with both tourists and locals--a great sign. Even though it was already 10 PM, the friendly staff welcomed us and seated us right away. As we looked around, dish after dish came out of the kitchen looking incredible, and everyone seemed genuinely happy with their meals. I started with the coconut chicken soup and a cocktail, then ordered the basil fried rice with shrimp. My wife chose the spicy noodle soup. We both agreed that every dish was perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. Simply delicious! In fact, we enjoyed the food so much that we returned the very next day and ordered the same meals. Everything was just as good the second time around, which says a lot about a restaurant's consistency. If you're looking for a late-night dinner option when many places have already closed, don't overlook this gem. The cocktails, Thai teas, appetizers, and entrées were all excellent, and the prices were very reasonable for New York City. We'll definitely be back on our next visit.

The delivery was quick and right on time! In terms of food, I had the chicken pad thai and chive pancakes. The chicken pad thai was good! I wish it had a little more flavor, but it was a solid pad thai. The chive pancakes were confusing to me. They were a little mushy in the middle and not crisp on the outside. This could have been from the delivery and the fact that the sauce spilled a bit, but the texture was definitely not for me. Solid spot for affordable Thai food!
