Outstanding service and delicious food - Edit
We arrived super early for our reservation since we had finished sightseeing for the day and we were hungry! There was no problem seating us when we arrived because there were some no-shows.
Read moreWait staff was INCREDIBLE and checked up on us often. All of our questions were answered, showing they were knowledgable about the menu, and the food was tasty!
We started with the Chorizo and Cod Fish Croquettes, which we would order again. For our mains, we had the Peanut Butter Curry and Ben Ben Noodles. Both were super flavorful, but I'd be interested in trying other things on their menu, as well. For dessert, we had to have the Vegan Snickers, which is a definite winner. It was an awesome ending to an awesome meal. Will definitely be back if we ever make it back to Amsterdam!
Pros: Friendly, knowledgeable staff, Delicious food, Good variety of menu items

Thanks a million for the rave review! 🌟 Super stoked you enjoyed the outstanding service and tasty treats. Kudos for being early birds – glad we could hook you up! 😊

Very tasty food, beautiful restaurant, service is ok but could be friendlier. - Edit
The ribs and tacos were delicious, the miso salad also very tasty. The kimchi fried rice was good and the “cod fish” croquettes were a little bland.
Read moreWe arrived at 20:30 without reservation and, although the restaurant was mostly empty, the waitress was hesitant to give us a table. Kitchen closes at 21:00.
We ordered 3 starters/sharing bites and 2 mains, all together; however, they were not served all at the same time as it seems that the kitchen is a little slow. We also had to re-order one item that got forgotten.
No complimentary tap water (charged 3.50 for a large bottle) although we also had a glass of wine.
Pros: Tasty food , Good diversity of dishes, Beautiful setting
Cons: No complimentary tap water, Service could be friendlier

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the ribs, tacos, miso salad, and the kimchi fried rice. We do appreciate your comments on the “cod fish” croquettes and the service, as we strive for consistency in both our food and experience.
Read moreWe apologize for the delay in service and any inconvenience caused by the forgotten item and the water charge. We’ll review these areas with our team to ensure improvements moving forward.
We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with a smoother experience next time!
Best regards,

A nice and cozy restaurant with great food. Everything was fresh and the portions were big enough. Make sure to not skip dessert because they are all amazing. But the staff could be more friendly, they were a bit unattending. #Veganuary

Definitely a nice stop if you’re around - Edit
The food was generous, although a bit on the expensive side for the portion sizes. It all came out quick, so perfect for lunch. I enjoyed my noodles, but if it wasn’t for the peanut I would’ve left hungry. Bitterballen we’re good too. #Veganuary

It’s ok but better options in the city - Edit
Food is very average , you can find better dishes in other restaurants. Starters are good but you can find same ones in so many other places in Amsterdam.
Read moreService is quite slow.
Just a thumbs up on the person in the kitchen preparing all by themselves and efficiently.
Pros: Bitterballen
Cons: Kimchi rice, Noodles , Ramen

Great meal - Edit
Had the 'no-chicken' burger with fries. Fries are luckely not fat but not so crispy. The burger buns were extra grilled (+1 point!) and the burger was richely filled with a variety of delicious vegetables.

Firm favourite - Edit
Update: Still great! The cheezy burger and fries (shared) was a great lunch.
Read moreAnother update: Still great! It's been a long time since I had the ribs (starter) and they were very good.
We love Soil. The Ben Ben Noodles remain a firm favourite, and we also enjoyed the cod croquettes, smoky aubergine dip and spicy seitan sándwich. Sharing a bunch of starters is usually a winner.
Update! Now in January we've been back to try new dishes. The house-pickled Shii-take were good and my partner liked the kebab starter and (again) the spicy seitan sandwich. I tried the Tonkotsu ramen and it was excellent.
Good wine and service again!

😍 Ben Ben Noodles are a must, and we're thrilled you enjoyed the cod croquettes, aubergine dip, and seitan sandwich. Sharing starters rocks! 🌱 Thanks for making Soil your go-to. Can't wait to see you again! 🍜🌮🥳

Service wasn't great and small portion - Edit
Ribs were lovely, had to wait on cutlery, then had to ask for napkins, then had a very long wait for mains. The burger was really good but the portion of kimchi rice was so small for the price. Disappointed with our visit. Quite expensive for the experience we received

Outstanding Food!! - Edit
Some of the best vegan food we have ever had. The most delicious miso Ramen ever! Bar none!! We ate dinner here four out of seven days. Chicken sandwich is delicious. The mushroom croquettes and pork tacos are very tasty appetizers. The cheesecake and the apple pie are excellent. Sadly, we did not get to try the snickers as they did not have any. If you are a vegan and you eat here you will not be disappointed. Oh, their fry game is top notch as well.

Amazing service, nice food - Edit
I was mostly impressed by the very kind service. The noodle main I had was decent, nothing very special but still nice. The aubergine dip is very nice, smoky. The bread is just basic baguette though. The steak like starter was also nice, but a bit cold when it got to the table. Peppers were good, but can’t go wrong with those I think. Drinks too expensive imo.

Nice vibe and food - Edit
This place has a nice vibe and friendly staff. Most foods are tasty, but some are only so-so.
Read moreOur favourites were peanut butter curry, cheezy burger, kimchi burger, cheesy steak sandwich, Reuben sandwich, ribs and mushroom bitterballen.
The ben ben noodles was creamy, but too salty. The yukas bravas were quite good, although a bit plain if it weren’t for the toppings. The cod fish croquettes were good, but the mustard sauce was too dominant. I would’ve preferred a milder sauce. I thought the dragon noodles were quite tasty, but the ginger flavour was too strong and it lacked a protein source (it was mainly noodles with a small amount of veggies).
The desserts are very good: the cheezy cake is creamy and fresh, the apple pie ‘warm’ and creamy and the snickers rich and sweet (although rather heavy).
The only thing we wouldn’t recommend is the pulled pork burger, because the jackfruit was too soft and the flavour a bit bland.
