Where is the Best Soup in San Francisco, California?
Went here while visiting SF and it was a pretty good place for sushi. Had the number 29 or something like that. The fish however was cooked inside rather than raw which I was not expecting, granted it was still pretty good. Typically I would have liked to try their fish raw however. Also I was disgusted to see how much of their sushi roll menu consisted of Albacore Tuna. The prices here are rather high considering the relatively small portions. The service here is rather poor with waiters constantly running past our table and failing to refill our water and tea. Granted if you’re willing to pay the price, their sushi seems better than most other restaurants…
This place is great for a fast lunch (I like to get mine to go, and I haven?t really seen anyone eat in). Half sandwich (which is probably comparable to the size of a mcdonald’s burger) is about $5– warm organic roasted chicken on a french baguette is super-simple, but tastes SO good. They have fantastic soup (one recent one was asparagus soup?but they have about 4 others), and grab one of their cranberry walnut organic cookies! Several salads to select from?or you can get sides of your favorite veggies. I like the fresh beets as a side to my chicken sandwhich. Super-friendly service.. You can order online at www.soupfreaks dot com and pick it up in the store. There?s also a daily menu?tomato soup, matzo ball and chili are regulars. There are two locations?one at new montgomery and batter and one on pine. Enjoy!Pros + Really yummy food, good price, friendly service alwaysCons – not a popular place to eat-in, most stuff is to go.
My girlfriend and I saw the good reviews and tried this place out for dinner. We made a reservation on a Friday night (recently) and were seated promptly when we arrived. We were a little suprised at the place- I couldn’t tell whether we were in a diner or an upscale seafood place. The waiter was nice, but somewhat inattentive (we had to bug him a few times for drinks, and he never brought us any bread, even after we asked for it). We both had grilled fish (tuna and swordfish)… and we could definitely tell it was grilled, because that was about the only flavor we could taste. The table wine was adequate, though a little disappointing compared to other places. I probably wouldn’t recommend this to anyone visiting SF.Pros + Quick seating
