I didn't know what to expect when I came here. The place is very small, but just the right size in the dining room. It seems that they do a lot of takeout orders. So we didn't have to wait very long at all. Everything came out pretty quick and everything was just amazing. This place is across from my house so we will definitely be back. It's even close enough that if we took our food to go, it would still be hot at home. I had the drunken noodle, but I definitely want to try the pad Thai next. It's in a shopping center so there's lots of parking.
Cozy little spot that seats about 40 - 50 people. There seemed to be only two people working but they were very efficient with seating and service. Their menu offered a nice variety of Asian favorites, we were hoping for more Pho choices but what they had was good enough for what we wanted. We enjoyed the presentation of the hot tea. The individual tea pot was adorable and being able to watchnit bew was a cool touch. The wonton noodle soup was delicious. The broth was delicate in flavors and didn't swallow up the flavor of the added chili oil. They weren't stingy of the amount of wontons or noodles. There definitely was enough to where if you wanted a wonton soup you could eat a few wontons, if you wanted a Ramen, you could slurp up enough Ramen to enjoy your Ramen soup and go back to having a wonton. My husband enjoyed the three meat beef, tripe, and pork combo Pho. Not sure what kind of tripe is used but its cut so nicely thin it looked like a piece of chicken. His only negative about it was that it was served with a side of lemon that he said changed the flavor profile a little bit from a lime. Definitely a place to stop in for a bite to eat if you're in the area.
My daughter really wanted some Chinese food and we decided to try Soy and Spice. The cafe didn't disappoint. All our food was cooked perfectly. And the flavor was on point. Everything was fresh. The portions were big and the prices are reasonable. The cafe is quiet and casual and a calm atmosphere. Our server was attentive with refilling our drinks and our food came out quickly. Highly recommend supporting this business.
Stopped by for lunch with my husband for some delicious chinese food. We've eaten here a few times before and the food is always amazing! The portions are generous and excellent value. We usually get the 3 item combo. My choices today were double Kung-Pao chicken & Potstickers, served with fried rice and chow mein. Each entree has its own unique and delicious flavor. The vegetables are always cooked perfectly and taste fresh. The service is very attentive & staff are super friendly! The ambiance is great, perfect for a lunch bite or dinner. Definitely recommend!!
Great service and great food! We were greeted by the owner immediately upon arriving and everything we ordered came out piping hot and fresh. The food is very authentic and we are excited to come back again to try more dishes.
Family Meal. So good! 10/10 recommend. Food was fresh and fast service. Comes with fried rice, beef & broccoli, orange chicken, chowmein, pop stickers, egg flower soup and egg rolls.Great price for the amount of food.
I don't recall what this place was called before its current name, but we've been coming here that long. This place has the best Pho in town - IMO. I was feeling under the weather and that is the only thing that sounded good. It definitely hit the spot today. Chicken Pho, I definitely recommend it and you won't regret it. We have always had quick and friendly service in a welcoming environment. A few other dishes I enjoy is the orange chicken and the pad thai.
Awesome first visit and will definitely return! We did the combination with orange chicken and kung pao, sesame ball appetizer, salt and pepper pork chops, and a strawberry green tea. The showstopper was the pork chops- these were absolutely amazing and fresh. The strawberry green tea and sesame balls were also very yummy.
The kiddos and I have found a new go-to in Bakersfield for our Asian cuisine, and it's for more than the good food. The service is phenomenal. We arrived 30 minutes before closing and were there until about 9, and we weren't made to feel rushed. As we were exiting, my nephew wanted to take a Pic near one of the decorations our waitress said take your time. I loved the lighting. It's low giving that romantic feel, but roomy enough for the whole family.
My husband and I ordered their vegetable pho on Monday as a to go order over the phone. Over the phone she said the order would be ready in about 15 minutes and the order was ready to go and upon arriving home the food was still super warm. They package everything really well. This is my go to place for vegetable pho. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Although, I've never had my food to eat there when I go in but it's always super clean. The vegetable pho has zucchini, onion, broccoli and carrots. FYI: I believe they are closed on Tuesdays.

This place has been on our radar for some time, and we're happy we made the decision to eat at Soy and Spice. We went around midday on a Saturday, we got there right before a rush for lunch. The restaurant is small and cozy and the service was great! Also, bathroom was clean. We decided to eat pho, pad Thai (level 3 spice), and salt and pepper wings (delicious). The food was great. Next time, I'd go up to level 4 spice on a scale of 1-5, since I didn't get the spice level I'd like. The wings were delicious! We'll definitely be back. read more

Soy and spice has the best drunken noddles I've tasted ! This is definitely my go to dish , however other dishes I've had are also delicious. Prices are very generous and they give you a good amount of food ! A bang for your buck. Their Thai tea is also delicious. The place is small and cozy. Feels super authentic when you walk in. You're greeted and seated , workers are Asian and extremely polite . I visit often with co workers during lunch. Would recommend! Thank you soy and spice for everything :). read more
I have only been once but I would definitely return if it was closer to home. I always walk into east Asian restaurants with an eyebrow raised because I mainly prefer non-westernized asian food. My friends wanted to dine here and I'm glad we did! $10 for a 2 item combo? Sign me up! I went for safe options cause I wasn't feeling very frisky. To my surprise the orange chicken and the sweet and sour pork was sooo flavorful! Great tang. I can definitely taste the "wok hay"! I expected to have "okay" food but I was so happy with my meal. I was expecting to only finish half and take the rest home but I practically licked the plate clean. 100% coming back to try the Thai food and their seafood.. If they nail that too then I'll just have to owe more praises. read more
The food was really good. Nowadays, the prices of everything have gone up. You rarely get what you pay for but in this case I felt like I got my moneys worth. I think it says the family pack feeds 3 to 4, but there were five of us and we had plenty of leftovers. It tasted just as good reheated. I was very happy with the quality and price. Would definitely go back. read more
Soy and Spice Cafe hooked me for the second time this week with their new spicy fried pork chops. The chops, cut, marinated, breaded, and fried to perfection, sit atop a bed of flawlessly cooked egg-fried rice. Trust me, one plate, and you'll be yearning for more in the days ahead. It's a delightful twist on a childhood classic, and I strongly urge them to keep it on the menu. As you know service here is amazing and the restaurant is a modern Vietnamese fusion style environment. I highly recommend this restaurant and this dish to anyone looking for a tasty meal with large portions, possibly to share. read more

Ok so i've got an up and down relationship with this place. My rating is based on the fact that they can and have done better in the past and have just crept downhill for the last year or so. The prices do not match the quality anymore in quite a few of the dishes. In the beginning wow they were incredible!! But over time i've noticed changes some good and some not good ones. I haven't been in a while because the last time it made me sick like blowass diarrhea for days cramps and all! Sorry there's a need for truth in reviews. And that's not the first time that's happened here idk maybe i'm into punishment of all sorts LOL that's the only way to explain my return occasional visits i guess and the fact i'm rooting for them regardless because i know what they used to be!! This time i ordered...Mongolian beef which was always my favourite dish of theirs!! It was so rich, dark, flavourful with tender beef amazing sauce etc. Well what i received this time was shit literally awful! Tough meat, no sauce it was all just dry. Canned mushroom???? Like wtf?? And such an odd taste like it had been left out for days like spoiled tasting FAIL!! This was immediately thrown away. Hong Kong style chow fun...Not the prettiest chow fun not the sauciest but decent flavour but still quite bland no discernible wow flavours in the sauce at all. Noodles were great nice texture, veggies were still crisp tender. Pork fried rice decent. Enough to feed like 10 Lol! Nothing super special but flavoured nicely and basic could've used 1-2 min more in the wok though. I've had some pretty bad fried rice this is ok pretty basic but truth be told i've had better from them in the past. In fact this used to be my favourite fried rice in town. Salt & Pepper wings....These were great delicious, crispy, juicy, full of flavour!! Interesting batter they used and i'm usually not a battered wing girl. I definitely could eat that whole container and not even care and wink at you happily after i'm done ;) No i won't share Haha! Well maybe if you ask nicely. Cream cheese wontons...They we're basic good wontons and crispy but definitely lacking enough filling maybe a scant 1/2 teaspoon if that in there and for 9.99 i expect more plump filling ;) Will i come back? well if i don't get stomach issues from this batch (you know what i mean Lol) Yea i'll be back for certain dishes but not for a while after i ate it i was just completely over it...Please reevaluate that Mongolian beef it's horrible like real horrible!! Go back to your previous recipe and ditch the canned shrooms if you don't have fresh leave them out just a gentle recommendation :) read more
Great little spot. The food was great tasting and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The portion sizes are great, my wife took home left overs of her pad thai. I ordered to 2 item combo that came with fried rice and chow mein. The food was all made fresh. Nothing tasting like it had been sitting. I would definitely try this place again. The egg rolls were fresh and crispy. read more

Ordered 1 salt & pepper shrimp , combination Chowmein , (2) orders of Pad Thai ,one vegetable one chicken all done very well very tasty and filling!! IMO Soy and spice is Still the best tasting Asian cuisine in Bakersfield. Have a great day!! So why 2 stars??? See below If you decide to go here. Always consistent, excellent customer service over the several years we have come. Except today ! Customers on the phone took priority today. We sat and waited for 3 phone orders to be completed before he came and asked if we wanted a drink. 1 phone call prefer completed later and he came back with the drinks.... Literally took another 2 phone calls one order one really short but still!!! Did I mention there was only 2 other customers seated? He came back for the order.So slowwwwwww got my meal 27 minutes later Longest I ever waited to order longest I waited to eat since I first showed up in 2017. A group of 9 came in and left after 15 minutes no service no drink... I really hope this is a new management problem and they will correct it. Such a shame, I will try it again in the future but I don't have much hope... read more

I have never heard of this place before. A friend of ours invited us for dinner. The items we ordered was delicious and worth the price. We started with Spring Rolls and Salt and pepper combo which included fish , shrimp and calamari. The spring roll was fresh and delicious. The thing was that it had a small piece of pork and the sauce it came with was on the thicker side. The salt and pepper combo was perfectly seasoned and crispy. I got beef pho. The pho broth had a lot of flavor. The portion was a little bit on the smaller side. Just wish it was bigger. Also ordered a noodle dish and a shrimp dish. The food was great. The service was awesome. read more
