The Soup San Francisco Reviews
My wife and I ordered a chicken stew, red lentil soup, spicy potato salad with an additional egg and meatballs. It was our best meal in SF (we were on vacation from Singapore). We love that the rice was fluffy, stew was creamy and flavourful. The soup was filling and hearty. We felt that they took pride in cooking the meals well. The kitchen set up was also professional and clean, with a well greased process because the crew served the food pretty fast. The front end staff was friendly and polite too. We highly recommend everyone to support their business!
Amazing soups, good to see not so expensive healthy food options. The owner is very friendly. Definitely going here again.!! With the most beautiful view.!!

Friendly prompt service with a smile. Thoroughly enjoyed our soups with the delicious bread. An affordable dinner option if on a budget.
Authentic Turkish taste in chicken soup without dill. I never saw it with dill. But tastes really good. Even the bread slice they sent along tasted like Turkish bread
Loved it. Was feeling under the weather And this was exactly what I needed. The chicken broth was brilliant.
Starting with the aromatic Beyran soup set a high bar with its rich broth and tender meat. Perfectly cooked okra followed, each dish a flavor sensation. The stew meat, tender and richly spiced, rounded out a memorable Mediterranean feast!
Best soup I've tasted in San fantastic though super hard to find super difficult to park had to be the best soup I've had in a minute
It has only takeout and delivery options. The food was wonderful. We had 3 different types of soup.
These soups helped me fight through covid last week. Hearty and healthy. I've only had delivery, and I will be visiting soon as I'm healthy and I'm ready spaghetti!
Chicken bone broth soup and the hummus and the banana pudding, all the best I've ever ! The bone broth soup is something I cant get out of mind its so good. Im excited to try the other stews.
This restaurant makes the best chicken soup I’ve had since childhood. It is comforting, healthy, and delicious! The hummus is also a must-order. I get double every time I place an order so I can eat it again the next day. I even called on the phone once for help with my order, and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Great price for the quality of the food, too. I’ve never been in person so I can’t speak to the ambiance, but I wholeheartedly recommend for online ordering. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have only had this as takeout. It's amazing! Strong and subtle flavors that come from the ingredients. You can feel yourself getting healthier as you eat it. People complaining that there's not enough salt or spice are obviously influenced by our culture, with everything having too much sugar, too much salt, and doused in Sriracha.
Best bone broth soup i had in years. Highly recommend beyran soup
I ordered the chicken bone broth soup and hummus for delivery and felt inspired to look this place up on maps because it was so good. The soup was clearly homemade, fresh, and comforting, as was the hummus. 10/10, so happy this restaurant exists.

Good soup. Kind workers. They charge around $10 for a bowl of soup. With tip and tax, it costs about $12. They have no dine in option. This is take out or delivery only

I tried the tomato and red pepper soup first, and it paired well with the chicken bowl from Sumac (Sumac, Soupchu, Saucy Greens all in the same location). However, it was not great stand alone - nothing special or particularly great about it. However, their other soups look good, and I will be back to try the lentil and chicken in particular.

Flavor is there. Disappointed that there was no meat in my chicken soup. Completely different than what is advertised on photos. I’m paying close to $15 for a small container of soup. Essentially seasoned water with no meat.

While the concept great (especially for an area with few food options), the food lacks flavor, salt and seasoning. Chicken Stew (for $19.50) had faint tastes of paprika, but nothing else. Bland is the best way to describe the chopped chicken breast served in a red-colored sauce, making one wonder if this a dieters’ spot. Price-to-taste ratio, not there. Cooking for oneself may be the better option.

Used to love their soups but I went to their store and waited 20 minutes and got ignored. Gentlemen beside said it is the norm w their staff. It was very upsetting. I wanted 8 soups for elderly neighbors I won’t go back. :(
Gave me an upset stomach and lose motion, ordered the chicken bone broth and humus Update - very disingenuous response from them. There was literally a similar review posted about 5 days back and they claim they have not recieved any feedback about food quality. Order was placed via grubhub on Oct 28
