I walked by this place and noticed that had a soup and sandwich special for $5. I thought I'd try it out.
Although this chain was started by the guy who was the inspiration for Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi" episode, the people who work here are very nice and helpful. They are generous with free samples. I was almost disappointed. I think a "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" might have made my day.
I got a butternut squash soup that was pretty good, but nothing special. I also saw them hand make my roast beef sandwich (and the guy was wearing gloves, so the place is hygenic), which was a very nice touch. And the sandwich was OK. Again, nothing special.
What killed it for me was the small portions. I know this is NYC, but I could have gotten much more at a local deli. If you are starving, you should not go here.
I want to emphasize that the people who work here are SUPER NICE. I wish there was a way I could rate service separately, so I could give them 5 stars. Unfortunately, the food, while not bad, was nothing that would make me want to come back.
Ehhhh…. First time trying this place. But I didn't think it was a big deal. Maybe it was choice of soup. Corn chowder it was if you might ask…. Service was good, and quick!! Since I was the only one there. They also have Tim Hortons and a yogurt wall call tasti d light or something. I might come back for some other kind of soups, maybe the Jambalaya? Or Chicken Chilli. I guess I can't really say I wont come back just based on one soup.
I have not ever been to Al Yeganeh's original stand made famous on Seinfeld. However, I did have high quality Jambalaya at this little combo stand that included Tim Horton's and Tasti DLite. The frozen yogurt looked good, but skip the doughnuts at Tim Horton's–Dunkin Donuts they are not–much too heavy! The jambalaya was very good but not special. Balducci's does a better job.
I had tried the jambalaya at their Hells Kitchen location and wasn't into it, but here it was pretty good. Their still really generous with the sausage but the flavors are more balanced. The shrimp corn chowder is also solid, though I still think Hale & Hearty is better all around.
Staff is nice. Pricing is high. No bathroom. You still get free bread and an apple.
Lobster bisque is outstanding! Make sure you follow the rules! I really enjoyed my soup.
Yes, almost $8 is a lot for a small cup of soup BUT it's lobster bisque and it's in the heart of Manhattan!
So, for $8 does the soup have bits of lobster or chunks of lobster? Thankfully, the answer is CHUNKS. I mean lots and lots of chunks of lobster. The flavor was amazing. I wish we would have gotten a bowl instead of the cup. It was that good.
Service was good, price was in line with Manhattan prices and soup was delish!

I'd come back just for the lobster bisque!
