Modern diner experience with retro feel (make sure to try out the jukebox). Quite a few vegan options, very generous vegan pancake portion. You do have to pay for swaps to make some meals vegan (swap out eggs for vegan sausage)

Such a cute diner. We felt we were in a movie! Service was fast and very nice. Food plates are huge. They have a boombox music which make it very special . Family of 4 . It was a great experience to remember from our trip 🫶🏼

Loved this place - the atmosphere is amazing, I love how the tables are structured so that they give privacy to each party. I loved their food as well - their pancakes are just perfection! I will def come back to try their milkshakes and ice creams which also looked lovely! Service is slow and you can take your time to eat - we spent 3 hours at your table and nobody rushed us to leave (on a Saturday)

I enjoyed breakfast here. The lighting and atmosphere is very calming and nice here. The food was fresh and we were quick to be served. They had plenty of menu choices and all decently priced. I loved the old school jukebox! All servers were pleasant and made sure our drinks were refilled. I had the farmer's breakfast, and it was the perfect amount of food. Loved it!

Stepping back in time with a modern twist! LOVED My Visit to SoHo Diner! Seriously, the aesthetic of this place is incredible. They've perfectly blended vintage diner charm with a modern sensibility. From the stunning light fixtures that cast the perfect glow, to the beautifully upholstered booths that just beckon you to sit down, every detail is spot-on. Even the uniforms the employees wear add to this incredible throwback atmosphere! A must visit!

The vibes were off the charts, perfectly captured the 50s diner aesthetic. We ordered a cheesecake and cherry pie for dessert, didn't have a chance to try the rest of the menu though it looked somewhat promising. Expensive as always in New York, admittedly I'm not a huge pie or cheesecake fan so I thought they were alright. Big bonus is the place is open late.

This is not some run down old diner, everything here is impecable. They have clearly taken the time and put in the work to make this look pristine. The food is good, the fries in particular were flawless. The almond milk latte was great too. I expected the portions to be a little bit bigger for the price, but overall a good trade off. Service was pretty good, just not particularly enthusiastic. They do not make you feel like you have overstayed your welcome if you linger, which is good I would gladly return.

The food all tasted good but the service and vibes were off. We waited for an extremely long time to get just our first and only drink and then waited very long for our meals. The chicken sandwich, salad, fries, and other meals everyone got were tasty but the poor service and somewhat steep prices left us disappointed overall.

The jukebox and photobooth are SO COOL and unique but the food was mediocre at best... the buttermilk pancakes lacked flavor and I couldn't finish them... not quite worth the $20

There was no host when we got there around noon so we had to wait a while to get seated. Service was super slow, waited like 20 min to even get the check. Barely any water refills. Maybe service would have been quicker if we sat inside. Food was fine, but the burger didn’t even come with fries while the omelette did.

Blending old-school diner charm with a contemporary ease. I came in early on a Friday morning and was seated right away. The vegan banana pancakes were a respectable effort—making them without dairy is no small feat. While these started off decent and the bananas on top helped, they soon veered into artificial tasting territory. The side of chicken sausage was lean, lightly seasoned, and conveniently sliced in half for easy eating. No grease, no heaviness, just a solid source of protein. The service suited a spot like this just fine. Soho Diner isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel; it’s a place to refuel and move on with your day. And that’s exactly what I did.

Our waitress took our order and then didn’t talk to us after besides once when we got her attention. The other two guys were great support staff though! They were attentive and the ones who were paying attention and brought us our plates. The food is way over priced for the quality of food. The burger was $26 and it tasted like freshly thawed meat they threw on the grill, it tasted like a bad McDonald’s burger and the texture was weird. The fries were okay. We also got chocolate chip pancakes ($22) that looked nice and fluffy but it was super dry, though the butter and syrup helped save it. Over all would not recommend the food quality is bad, and of course it is way over priced due to that. Side note, as we were wrapping up, I posted this review. The (I’m assuming) owner came out to just say hi and how we were doing (“hi how are you guys doing”), they didn’t say anything else besides that. But it looks like she just wanted to look at the food on our table to see if it matched the pictures I had posted of it.

Overall, the food at this spot is delectable. I’ve been here a handful of times and each time the food is certainly best aspect. It’s classic NYC faire, dare I say USA faire. Usually when I come here I order either the burger or turkey club, both of which are solid in terms of culinary taste. The spot is open until late which is an asset, especially in NYC these days where places are closing earlier and earlier. Unfortunately, that’s the end of the benefits. The service is slow. There’s no two ways about that. I was seated at 6:25 PM. The place was more than half empty. It took until 7 pm to actually get service (i.e. an attendant asking for my order). I can understand this if the place is crowded but more than half empty? That’s unacceptable. Either the management is assigning too few employees per shift or the employees assigned are ineffective. Regardless, the result is the same: subpar service. I was only able to put my order in because I flagged down the manager after almost 30 minutes of waiting. Additionally, I received my food before my drink. I think they just legit forgot my drink order. I had to remind my server (when he brought the food) that I had actually ordered a drink. So overall, who do I think would do well at this eatery? Places like this were designed for tourists. People who don’t know what fine dining is, or at least the common decencies of diner dining (diner dining in the USA being the most egalitarian form of food eating). This is a place for out-of-towners, people new to the city, grateful simply for being present in the warm glow of Manhattan. It’s a tourist trap, said simply. Native born denizens know better. Denizens know who have lived here longer than 3 months also know better. It’s not that the diner is bad; it’s just that better food alternatives exist not even 5 minutes away. I want so much more for the SoHo Diner. I want so much more for this culinary outpost, equidistant to both to the financial largess of Wall Street and the B2C culture of 14th street , Union Square. But as it stands now, this eatery is riding the coat-tails of a convenient location. The ICP (ideal customer profile) of this business is tourists who don’t know better. Side note: the beer is fine and the happy hour is decent. $10 for a cocktail is more than good for work island. I only wish that management understood stood the dining market much better.

Went here for their thanksgiving special and it did not live up to expectations unfortunately. The turkey was super dry, the cranberries were extremely tart, and the stuffing was mostly giant pieces of apple. The apple pie was also served ice cold which felt disappointing since it would have been easy to serve warm if there was more thought put into the meal. We ended the meal by waiting around 30 minutes for the server to check on us post-dessert to give the check. Really was looking forward to this place but felt disappointed by the experience.
