what a waste of time – Saturday afternoon my friend and I went into Soy for a late lunch, about 5 pm. Having heard good things from friends it came with solid anticipation. When we stepped in the door, we were the only people in the place. OK, this was an off time, understandably. We stood in the door a few moments before taking a seat, the owner, Etsko Kizawa was behind the counter working on side work, filling condiment bottles, replenishing napkins etc. We sat at our table for a few moments when she wondered over and gave... read more

I am a SOY addict – This place is great but a bit small. Real deal Japanese home cooking food. Don't expect to see sushi on the menu. It is not a sushi or yakitori joint. My only complain is the small portion. BYOB.

User review by anemisar – Beyond excellent. I've been here a couple times; every dish I've had has been beyond belief. You can get an entree for around $7. When it comes, you'll think it isn't enough food, but it is! It is remarkably filling and satisfying. I recommend her soy smoothies.

That's O.K. – If you have never tried Japanese homestyle cooking, it's worthy(you'll know what they serve) . But if you are Japanese food lover, it's waste of your time and money. Honestly, I have no idea why people gives them high rating.

A low-key, vegetarian Japanese comfort-food cafe. – The Scene The Delancey Street nighttime hustle quiets down on Suffolk, where apartments and low-cost housing loom over this block's sole eating establishment. Although the evenings-only Soy is mostly suited for takeout, the small, unpretentious interior is perfect for a contemplative, solo dinner or a quick, casual bite with a friend. The Food The restaurant's name may sound like a purely vegetarian oasis, but this homestyle Japanese cookery serves several meat dishes and f... read more

Overrated – After hearing good things about the restaurant, I finally decided to try the food. Needless to say, I was highly disappointed. It did not live up to expectation. While the restaurant seem to be a one woman operation, service was still considered to be very slow. Since there was only one customer finishing up. I expected my order to be filled quickly. For what I considered to be simple dishes, Gyoza, Milk Shake, and Miso Pork, the whole order took over 30 mins to fill. Though I am not an expert in cooking, I am ce... read more

charming and comforting – I rarely order anything aside from the daily specials at soy, but the kenchin jiru and miso soups are great for fighting colds and flu. The veggie gyoza are superb as well as the spinach with sesame sauce. My favorite item, however, was a special soup that I've only seen there once, which was a tomato lentil. Hopefully she'll make it again!

Healthy food. – Soy is able to enlighten people who have misconceptions about Japanese food; some people believe that the only common Japanese food is Sushi. This is not true. This restaurant serves real Japanese home cooking that is healthy, hearty and delicious.
