    Red pepper gouda
    Kami S.

    I've been coming here for a few years and I love this soup! They usually have 12 ish soups choices each day and come with a piece of baguette. They change slightly everyday and is a lunchtime take out spot, no seating. Come early if you want your favorite, I noticed the lobster bisque usually sells out the fastest. They also sell small sandwiches to go with the soup that are tasty, ham and cheese, Swiss and turkey, tuna, all the hits. My favorite soup is the Hungarian mushroom and the red pepper gouda. I have not tried them all but I also liked the Italian wedding, white bean spicy sausage, lobster bisque, Split pea and ham, Clam chowder, pumpkin and the crab creole are also very good.

    Small vegetable minestrone and buffalo chicken sandwich.

    This was my first time there. Tiny spot but quick service. I got a buffalo chicken sandwich with minestrone soup. The soup stayed hot until I got back to my office which is only about a five minute walk. Comes with bread and an apple. Don't worry about picking up a spoon they put a napkin and a spoon in the little baggie with the bread and apple. Yummy and a good price for a cold day. FYI they do run out of things so have a second choice or third choice ready.

    Thank god a shorter line for these heavenly delicious soups. I quickly glance at the Soup of the Day. I ordered a large of the Boston Clam Chowder (White) because its my favorite hearty soup especially on the second day of Spring. Awwww how cute I feel like I am in a high school as they packed an apple and a piece of baguette. It's so incredibly delicious...lots of potatoes and clam meat. The cashier enters your phone number into their address book that way you can call in and get points. I gave him my number so I think that I got one point :-) You can call in to get their soup of the day or check online for their menu as well. Very good prices and you definitely get your money's worth. I can't wait to go back for more.

    So good!

    Can I just say, I love Soup Spot! They make the best soups hands down around the area and the best priced too! For $9.80 you get a big cup of soup with bread, an apple, and a sandwich. I don't know why I never came here all this time, but now that I found you Soup Spot I will never go astray. You got the perfect spot in my belly.

    You can see this place is popular, line out the door! No where to sit or stand so you have to take your meal elsewhere. Great options for vegetarians. I had the tomato with feta and it was delightful. I also taste tested the Mediterranean lentil and white bean, both were great. The soup came with a piece of bread and small apple. The workers were also quite nice and the man at check out gave me a free cookie as he joked with me. I'll be back!

    This is called the Angus Beef Steak and Chili soup..$6.53 for a large

    Soup spot is right down the block on 31st between 6th and 7th. A little store in between a diner and a park lot. There is always a long line but ppl are in and out very quickly. At first I was intimidated by the line, but today I really wanted soup... All I thought about is soup. Usually I would go to heal and heartys but my coworkers told me there soup is delicious and you get more for your buck. Today I ordered Angus Beef Steak with Chili... After I tried like three different soups. They were all good but lots of creamy selection which I can't have. The two gentleman behind the counter were very nice and patient. They even have me a free cookie, which was very sweet of them. Once I looked into my bag I then realize I had an apple also.... Which they give it to you free... A large soup, slice of bread and a apple... All for $6.53. Worth it!

    Lobster, Shrimp, and Salmon Bisque

    Best lunch spot in the area for soup. $6 for a large and $5 for a small of any kind of soup. They often have seafood soups as well as your classics. It comes with a piece of bread and a fruit (usually an apple or an orange). The soups also clearly indicate Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Vegetarian for dietary restrictions. Take out only, cash and credit accepted. There is also a punch card for a free small soup after 10 purchases. If you check their Facebook page, they upload the menu daily so you can see what the soup selections are. My favorites are anything with crab, their gumbos, and their classic New England Clam Chowder. The bisques can be a bit salty for my taste. They also offer combos to complete your lunch that comes with either a sandwich or side salad for $3 more. The sandwiches/wrap are pre-made fresh but kind of boring. The star of the show are definitely the soups. They are flavorful, well-made, and have the right amount of spices and seasoning. There is a reason why during lunch time, there is a long line of people waiting to get their soups. Don't let the line discourage you because they move pretty quickly.

    Classic Chicken Noodle (I added a bit of pepper for taste).
    Tiffany P.

    I decided to try the Soup Spot since I'm currently getting over a cold and wanted some good chicken noodle in the area (and not "same ol" Hale & Hearty). The soup was exactly the way I wanted. The broth was fresh and the soup as a whole was well balanced (right amount of noodles/chicken pieces) and tasty. I added a little pepper to mine due to my sinuses blocking my taste buds, but it was not a necessity. As stated in the other reviews, they include bread and an apple in your bag. The place itself is extremely small (I mean can-only-fit-about-seven-people-at-a-time small). But it's a perfect spot to stop and go (the line moves extremely quick, even during lunch). But the best part about this place is that it's super affordable compared to other spots in the area ($6 for a large soup). With good soup and good prices, I will definitely be returning.

    For $8, move over The Soup Man!

    The best soup in the area, hands down. The Penn Station area is full of fast [junk] food chains and pretentious health food establishments, and they drive me crazy! Thankfully we have Soup Spot, a little hole in the wall where you could get a delicious large soup, a half sandwich, a slice of ciabatta and an orange for $8. The soup menu is extensive, and I got a lobster and crab bisque today with a half mozzarella sandwich. Soup was extremely creamy and the meat was very tender. Yum! Keep in mind that this is a soup place so the sandwich was so-so at best. You can't go wrong coming here for delicious soup but be warned, there is always a long line in winter months!

We tried the spicy shrimp (coconut based broth), spicy tonkatsu, and salmon miso ramen. The tonkatsu and salmon were both cooked well - tender and moist. Ramen noodles were thin and well cooked - more al dente. We also tried the karaage which had a thick crispy batter and a sweet glaze, with an optional spicy side sauce for dipping. They had a variety of sake and beer options. The inside is small but turnaround is fairly quick. Lots of two seaters and a large table that we were able to snag after just a few minutes of waiting. There was also bar seating. Pretty dark inside to add to the ambiance for a quick date or catch up with friends. Checked in to the waitlist via Resy because we didn't have a reservation, and it was a short wait. Service was prompt.

Got off the E train and when we looked for Chinese food, this place popped up with good reviews and it was just a short walk from where we got off the train. My buddies ordered the special lunches and we also got two types of xlb's, beef chow fun, and some fried dumplings. The special lunches come with a little fried rice, cold garlic flavored noodle, choice of egg drop or hot and sour soup, and main side. My buddies all enjoyed their meals. The beef chow fun was also really good and beef was nice and tender. The xiao long baos were excellent and is comparable to any place in California like DTF. Nice and juicy and great with some ginger, soy sauce, and spicy chili. Friendly service and food comes out pretty quickly. Credit card is accepted. Bathroom was also very clean, which is sometimes rare in some Chinese restaurants I have been to. If you're looking for a good Chinese meal, stop here when you're in the Chelsea area.

I hadn't been to EDH in a while and was happy to see they do have later hours (with a smaller late night menu). The place was pretty busy at 10:00 PM last Saturday, with a wide range of diners, which is good for business. The food though, at least that night, was really disappointing. My friend had the chicken dumplings. He said they were okay. I thought they were overcooked. My steamed shrimp shumai were fine, but steamed, they didn't have much flavour. The edamame, on the other hand, had way too much when it should have almost none. I don't know if it was excess salt, MSG or something else, but not good. I should have sent them back. I hope this was just an off night for the kitchen.

But, I like that they added furikake seasoning throughout it to add flavor. I didn't care much for their sides - the egg was too sweet for my liking and the pickled carrots were too soft.
