Latest update: Still great! I recommend the kimchi loaded fries.

Previous update: Still great! The smoked aubergine dip is wonderfully smokey and spiced.

Previous update: Still great! The ribs are maybe even better than before and I had the kimchi Reuben for the first time and really liked it.

Previous uodate: Still great! Had cod croquettes, fries and the relatively new fried chicken burger.

Update: Still great! The cheezy burger and fries (shared) was a great lunch.

Another 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!

Okay food

It was not my best meal in amsterdam, but I could take responsibility for my choices… The bowls are probably better than tacos/peppers.

Leckere BBQ Platte

Man konnte Extras ohne Aufpreis bestellen. Die Platte war super lecker und wirklich tierischen Produkten geschmacklich sehr ähnlich. Man kann auch draußen sitzen.

Updated from previous review on 2026-07-12

Danke dir! Freut uns, dass die BBQ-Platte so gut angekommen ist 😄
Schön, dass auch die Extras und die Möglichkeit, draußen zu sitzen, gepasst haben. Und ja — gutes BBQ braucht keine tierischen Produkte 😉🌱

Can’t Miss!

Incredibly flavorful food with an expansive menu and so many great options to choose from. The highlights for me were the kimchi fries, ribs, and especially the cheesecake.

Honestly, it was the best cheesecake I’ve ever had. It reminded me of a traditional, non-vegan cheesecake in both flavor and texture, with that exact flavor profile that I feel so many vegan cheesecakes are missing. Easily one of the standout desserts I’ve had in a long time.

Undercover vibe with a smack down of delicious flavors.

Walked in to a subdued waiter and a room 2/3 filled with customers. We ordered a simple cheeseburger and order of kimchi loaded fries and one of the noodle dishes (I have attached the photo, but I can’t remember the name).  the loaded fries had enough kimchi to cover every bite of fry. The cheeseburger was delicious and the noodles had a nice spice level to them.

PS they also make their own kimchi.

Super food

A friend and I had a lovely meal here. I had noodles and my friend had a burger and fries -- both super good and super filling. The staff were all so smiley and friendly and welcoming. Even though it was lunch time, they needed to find a place to seat us without a reservation (so, reservations are recommended) -- and we ended up sitting outside, which was way fine.

Nice little stop for delicious vegan food

We wanted to support fully vegan restaurants when looking for dinner, so we went here and weren’t disappointed. Nice staff, nice location and good food! Liked that the menu felt a bit more unusual! A bit pricey though, but valuable to support such businesses! 🌱

Reservations required as of 8/2026

I walked 3 miles to get to SOIL and was told I could not get food as it is reservation only now.

We went back the following day with a reservation(8/12) and were very disappointed to find that they were taking walk ins and the food was not very good. There is a lot of hype for ok food. Recommend saving your money.

Thanks for sharing this, and I’m sorry about the first visit — walking 3 miles only to be told we couldn’t seat you is frustrating.

We do accept walk-ins when we have the space, but reservations get priority, and availability can change quickly depending on how busy we are. We should have explained that better.

As for the food, it’s obviously disappointing that it didn’t live up to the hype for you. We won’t argue with personal taste, but we do take the feedback seriously.

We appreciate you giving us a second chance, even if we didn’t win you over.

Very delicious food

SOIL is a place you must visit if you are traveling to Amsterdam.

The food was absolutely delicious.

I ate there multiple times throughout my visit, and had the Starter vegan Ribs, Khao Soi Noodles, Ben Ben Noodles, and the Cheesy Cake.

I wish i was there for longer so i could have tried more of their stuff.

Brilliant place with super tasty food!
We had the ribs to start (definitely get this!), then the Satay Udon and Khao Soi noodles for main - delicious!! 🤤
Washed it down with wine and a kombucha, and finished with the baked cheesecake for dessert 🤩
Everything was tasty & well presented (but you'll just have to believe me on that front as we forgot to snap them 😅)
Lovely friendly staff too 💚
