The dragon ball z statue and other memorabilia

It's been a while since I visited this place. So I went on a Tuesday early evening with my friend. It was just us when we arrived, and we looked at the menu from the counter. We were able to order from the kiosk, but I needed some time to decide. I finally ordered the chicken pho (about 15 dollars). After paying at the counter, we sat in the back and looked at the displays and novelties they were selling. Our soup came pretty quickly and I completely forgot how big the bowl was. It was a very good size with lots of shredded chicken, noodles, and vegetables as toppings. The chicken was very tender and worked well with the chicken broth. The noodles were flat rice noodles, which actually worked well for the soup. I liked that they added cilantro and garlic as well, enhancing the flavor of the broth. The soup was quite filling and while I was able to finish the noodles and the chicken, the broth was quite rich and plentiful that I couldn't finish it all. The service was quick, friendly, and patient. Even though we ordered and paid at the counter, the soups were delivered to our table, and picked up when we were done. We did have to use the fountain to get our own drinks and another area for utensils and sauces. Still there were great memorabilias on display as well the dragon ball z statue. The tv was showing anime, however, the music seemed to be American R&B. I am happy to see that Soupa Saiyan continues to bring good soups. While the soups are mostly pho, ramen is also available. Non soup options are available too like sushi. For the price, generous portions, and great soups with friendly service, it continues to be a great soup shop in the UCF area. Overall A-

Teriyaki Stir fry with glass noodles
Lyubov L.

It was our first time at this place. You order food from the iPad and then it is served to your table. I ordered Teriyaki stir fry with glass noodles - it was ok, little bit too sweet and very little veggies, it was plenty of shrimps though. Steamed dumplings were overcooked. Very beautiful interior. Overall it was a good place for Korean food lovers. I personally didn't like it much, but it is me.

This is the second Soupa location I've been to, and this one is the best one! It was not too busy on a Saturday afternoon, I ordered at the counter with a person instead of the iPad since I had a few questions. The woman at the counter was very helpful and I placed my order fast. I loved that they had everything I wanted in stock - a challenge I experienced at the last location. I ordered a build a bowl with ramen and beef, and added nori and bean sprouts. I forgot to order the spicy sauce, and I asked at the counter and they brought some to my table quickly. The Nori was in an envelope (and the sticker was a cute touch). The bowl was delicious and a great portion for the price, I brought half home. You don't need to clean up your table, they will do that for you. The decor in this shop is amazing! I love seeing all the statues and it's nice that they have a small shop. What I really liked about here - not only was it themed amazing with the wall decor but also had a TV playing Demon Slayer. I came to eat by myself, and it was nice watching while I ate. I'm not a big "anime-nerd," but it made my visit additionally enjoyable. I highly recommend this location, I would call it the best location in Orlando! Definitely will bring my anime fan boyfriend to this location.

This place gets 5 stars for fun decor. Food wasn't bad, but didn't wow me and I felt like for $40+ for two bowls of noodles, I should've been wowed. There was nothing wrong with anything we had, it tasted fresh and the serving size was very large. It just seemed to lack a bit in flavor/depth. I had Pho Ga and hubby had a bowl. I ordered an extra side of protein - fried tofu - and for $4 I expected a tiny bit more. The Soupa sauce is also a little container for $2. I will admit, the soupa sauce helped a ton. Service was great - the people behind the counter were attentive and quick and the food came out quickly.

Very cute restaurant, if ur into Drangonz u will love it even more. Prices r reasonable, staff very friendly. Located near CFU on university. The food was delicious. They also have a reward system so make sure u sign up. Can't wait to go again. My new noodle spot.

Kim Chi Stir Fry
Cristal R.

What a prominent place! If you are an anime lover or food lover, you will like this place. They have ramen, stir-fry noodles, sushi, donburi bowls, pho, and a great variety of appetizers. The inside is lively, clean, and spacious. There is lots of artwork and figures to glance at while you wait on your order. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient. I ordered the Kim Chi Stir-Fry with beef brisket. It was sooo good!! Hubby got the pork ramen it was fresh and tasted great. I also ordered a dragon fruit lemonade with boba but it tasted very artificial, it would've tasted better if i added more lemonade. The only downside (if any) would be that you order at a kiosk (no cash) and they still give the option for 20,22,25 percent tip. I believe it's a bit much, considering they are not giving table service. 25% of the bill is a lot to ask for in a restaurant that works like this one. Give them a try!! I will definitely be back!

I have been wanting to go to Soupa Saiyan for a longgg time, but it just kept not happening, because of just how far away it was from me. But then, a miracle happened, they opened up a third location right by UCF, which is my stomping grounds. So one day, we stopped in to check it out. First off, the interior decor is out of this world. Very bright and colorful murals all over the walls, huge figures of our favorite anime heroes, and action figures everywhere. You'll be looking around the building the entire time you're here. You go up and order from a kiosk, which stinks. At a place as customizable as this, I really would like to order from a person that could answer my questions, but I guess kiosks are what the kids are into nowadays, so I went with the flow. We ordered three things and shared. We started with the Shenron Roll (eel, spicy tuna, asparagus, crispy garlic, avocado on top, eel sauce). This was very good! A lot of places are starting to sell mini sushi, due to the rising costs of seafood, but not this place! A full sized roll with plenty of eel and tuna and avocado. Very simple roll with a few, beautiful ingredients. I was a fan. Then I had to try a soup, of course, the Seafood Pho (veggie broth, rice noodles, shrimp, fishballs, krab stick, shrimp tempura, shrimp dumplings). First of all, this was beautiful. It legit looked like a delicious anime dish, like from Spirited Away or something. But this bowl had style And substance. The broth was deep and flavorful, there were plenty of noodles with some good bite to them, and again, plentiful amounts of seafood. Big, plump shrimp, a beautiful shrimp tempura stick, and succulent dumplings made this the best bowl of soup I've had in a very long time. I also don't remember exactly what item it was, but I ordered a noodle bowl with big chunks of crunchy, spicy chicken, a nice spicy sauce, some corn, a hard boiled egg, a lot of good stuff! Soft, lightly sauced noodles, and spicy, crunchy chicken; there's not a lot better than that. Also, I had a drink that was something like a Thai tea with some popping boba in the bottom. Amazing. I think this was the best boba drink I've ever had in my life, not kidding. Overall, this place was excellent. Some might find it pricey, but they don't cut corners, and you get everything you pay for. The food and the vibe fits in very well around the UCF area, and I hope it stays around for many years to come.

We've been fans of the original Soupa Saiyan for years. We drive from Tampa Bay to the Orlando area, just to have noodles there. It was time to check out the latest location! First of all, the food is the same great quality as the original location. The business is still family-owned and you can see that with this new location, the owner was trying something different when it comes to decor, branding, and layout of the restaurant. The staff were all very kind and courteous. Very attentive. Even got to chat for a bit with the manager. Bathrooms were modern and clean. All the utensils, to-go stuff, etc. was easily accessible by the soda fountain. Plenty of parking. Great vibes all around. I'm digging the more modern, spacious vibe of this new location. We'll certainly be returning when the next craving for noodles kicks in!

Ambiance decor
Shanae D.

I have been to all 3 locations this one is my favorite one. Spacious and not overly crowded when we went. When you arrive you can order on 1 of the 3 tap to order kiosk which is convenient. One the the kiosk didn't work after we tried to tap pay multiple times, so we had to go to the counter. Also this one has a extended menu I was so excited to see they had a Tom yum based soup my absolute favorite! Be prepared to pay for extra ingredients but so worth it. I am leaving a 4 star due to their soup spoons being plastic and way too small for the large bowl of soup. My husband and I had a hard time eating with it's short handle and often dropped it in the bowl. ( we will bring our own spoons next time. )

Obsessed doesn't begin to describe how my kids feel about this place. I'm not sure if it's the ramen or the anime decor, possibly both! They ALWAYS choose to eat here when it's up to them. Soupa3 is how it's listed in Apple Maps. They have collectibles for display, photo ops, or purchase. For food, I tend to stick with what I like and although their spicy tuna roll is fantastic, I like the Build Your Own soup bowl! I credit my husband with the discovery of zoodles, brisket, & fresh veggies in beef broth. I then add a bit of sriracha and hoisin sauce. My kids really like the kids ramen bowl with brisket. Service is so so, but the last time we were there for a birthday, it was fantastic. The young woman employee was so kind and attentive, cleaning up the large high-top table we were waiting for, and getting us extra plates for our cake!

The ambiance is dope if you're into Dragonball/Anime. You order at a kiosk. It wasn't busy so that made it fine. I'd imagine being impatient if there was a line. There are 2 kiosks: 1 to the left of the entrance & 1 near the beverage fridge/counter area. You seat yourselves. Server brings out drinks/cups and you grab your own fountain drink, utensils, condiments, & such. Server brings out your food. We ordered: -Shrimp Tempura -Spicy Tuna -California Roll -Spicy Piccolo -Golden Kamehameha -Shenron -Japanese Cheesecake -Thai Tea -2 fountain drinks I enjoyed the theme & ambiance. The food was good. Not as much flavor as I'd like but I'd come back. I want to try more on the menu.

Soupa 3 is east Orlando's best-kept secret, hidden gem, and best sushi spot (insert other stellar description here!). I have been at the Vineland location once but never at the University Blvd one. My husband and I went there while we were in the area, and the food was outstanding. The anime decoration is awesome, and I love how they incorporated UCF Knights elements with the art. When you first walk in, there are two self-service kiosks to make your order. I loved the system because it was fast, and you could see pictures of all the food before ordering. After completing the order, you get a ticket and then take a seat to wait for your food. One observation, or recommendation, is that sometimes it is hard to hear the last four digits of your phone number (as it is the way they assign you an order number, so pay attention to make sure they find you quickly). We began our feast with an order of Philly Eggrolls followed by the Kimchi Stir Fry (w/brisket) and a few sushi orders. The sushi was outstanding; it was a great surprise. My faves included the Spicy Tuna Roll, Golden Kamehameha Roll, and the Red Form Roll. Also, Vietnamese Pho is the way to go as the weather is cooling down. All food portions are fulfilling.

Of the zensai (appetizers), I've tried the Tatsuta-Age, which was pretty tasty. Hot and crispy with good flavor. The udon is also top notch. They make it in house. Perfect chewy texture, what Taiwanese would call "QQ" I realized after my second visit that I still have not tried an udon with hot broth. I've tried the Spicy Miso Tan-Tan Udon, which was quite tasty, although a little on the richer/heavier side. I have also tried the Mentaiko Tsukimi Udon which was refreshing in the cold broth. I paired it with an add-on of sliced beef, which was delicious, they serve it on the side so you can add to whatever dish on your own. What I wouldn't recommend... The Viet Coffee with sesame foam and crushed sesame seeds was hard to drink. I loved the initial flavors but the foam got a little greasy and clumpy when mixed with the crushed sesame seeds, particularly toward the second half of the coffee. I wouldn't order it again. I would be interested to see any updates they've made recently but with so many new restaurants on Mills, I may choose those first.

The clear broth is super clean and light with a very herbal fragrance to it. Like I feel like that would be perfect to drink if you were sick. But not being sick, I did end up adding some soy sauce just to give it some more flavor. But I like that with the sauces at the table, you can kinda just customize to your liking. I think the knife cut noodles are probably my favorite type of noodles here, but the hor fun goes really well with the clear broth. I also tried the green grape fruit tea and it was so refreshing! The flavor wasn't artificial at all and it was so nice to have with the hot noodles. I think this spot is super worth if you're the type to order extra noodles, or if you're a big eater. But the portions were pretty satisfying enough on the first go for us (def not a bad thing), so we didn't get to do any refills.

Good dumplings and cold noodles, too. The space is small, no-frills, and I would guess much of their business is done in take-away as well.

I highly recommend it for casual Chinese right in the heart of Orlando's little Chinatown plaza.
