perfect fancy vegan dinner - Edit
It is a bit pricey, but it feels like it should be. The place, the atmosphere, the food, the serving, it all makes sense for this money. I took my non vegan friend there and we both loved all of it.

Delicious - Edit
Delicious vegan food! We had the Ban Ban noodles and the Bali salad which were both served with fresh foods. The service was very fast and friendly. You definitely need to reserve a table in advance as the place is quite small and well booked.

Lovely food - Edit
Really lush food ! The food was delish ! I had the Dragon Noodles - delightful! Wine selection was lush too! However tables were not cleaned and wiped after each customer and our table was quite dirty and the service wasn’t Great - more staff needed to make it run smoothly to make it a a 4/5 or 5/5 rating
Read morePros: Tasty food and lots of options , Music was cool , Nice breeze coming through the door
Cons: Didn’t wipe down / clean tables between customers, Staff seemed a little under pressure , Would have spent more if service was smoother

Thanks for the honest feedback — really glad you enjoyed the food and vibes! You’re totally right about the tables and service, and we hear you. We were a bit short that day, but that’s on us to manage better. Appreciate you pointing it out, and we hope to make it a full 5/5 next time!

Great food, worth the price - Edit
We had Miso Ramen and Khao soi noodles, both had a very rich taste, exciting textures and flavours. Though it is rather expensive, the food was worth the price. The only downside is that it is a small space, would recommend to book a table in advance.

Thanks for the honest and kind words! Happy you enjoyed the richness and flavors — we put a lot of love into those bowls 🍜 Totally hear you on the space, it does get cozy! Booking ahead is a good call 🙏"

Nice vibe and food - Edit
This place has a nice vibe and friendly staff. Most foods are tasty, but some are only so-so. Check my pictures for reviews per item.
Read moreOur favourites were peanut butter curry, cheezy burger, kimchi burger, cheesy steak sandwich, Reuben sandwich, ribs and mushroom bitterballen.
The desserts are very good as well: the cheezy cake is creamy and fresh/fruity, the apple pie ‘warm’ and tasty and the snickers rich and sweet.
bottino
Thanks for the detailed review and the love for so many of our dishes! 🙌 Great to hear the desserts hit the mark too. We’re always working to improve, so we really appreciate the honest notes. Hope to have you back soon!"

Favorite Restaurant - Edit
Out of all the vegan spots I tried in amsterdam this was my absolute favorite. Great service, great food, and good decor/ambiance. The restaurant concept is healthy fermented foods. Started our dinner with a bottle of the natural orange wine, had to try the ribs, and I had the ben Ben noodles for an entree. Everything was incredible. Don’t forget apple pie for dessert!

Wow, thank you! So glad you enjoyed everything — from the orange wine to the ribs and those noodles (and yes, that apple pie’s a must!). Appreciate the love and hope to see you again soon! 🙌

Delicious food, disappointing staff - Edit
Our meal at Soil was absolutely incredible, beautifully presented and delicious. However our experience was dampened slightly by the staff who were very inattentive. Initially we were greeted and served by a lovely member of staff who left just after we were given our mains, another member of staff came in who seemed a lot more interested in playing his new EP than serving customers. The restaurant was practically empty (we were 2 of the 3 people there) and we were left with our finished plates for almost 20 minutes, my partner eventually went up to the bar and ordered a dessert and then our plates were finally taken. It felt very much like we could’ve just walked out and no one would’ve even noticed (which of course we didn’t and wouldn’t do) and it sadly really did make an otherwise great experience a bit disappointing.
Read morePros: Food
Cons: Staff attitude
bottino
Thanks for the honest feedback—it really matters. Glad to hear the food hit the mark, but sorry the service let you down. That’s not the experience we aim for at all. We’ll follow up with the team to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Hope we get a chance to make it up to you next time.

Great flavor - Edit
The flavor of the food was great. Ribs where more less as I remember (even though it’s more than 10 years ago).
Read morePulled pork tacos had a great combination of flavors.
For mains we had Ben Ben noodles and Bali salad. Both dishes were well balances in flavor and combination of veggies.
The staff is friendly, the interior is ok, great place to eat how ever it is not dining.
Pros: Great flavors, Different menu than most places, Mains have nice combination of veggies
Cons: The interior is not on par with their food
bottino
Appreciate the detailed take! Glad the flavors and combos hit right — that’s what we aim for.

Delicious comfort food - Edit
We had a wonderful evening there. Everything was delicious: we had ribs and mushroom bitterballen as starters, loved them. I then had the Miso Ramen and it was one of the best I’ve ever had, incredibly comforting and full of flavor! 🥰 The cheesecake was also very very nice. I highly recommend it for a cozy dinner in the city!

Vegan Fusion Bar - Edit
Little Bar with few smaller tables and a long table. Few seats outside. The tables are pretty close to each other if you struggle with this.
Read moreYou order at the bar and the staff brings you the food. Afterwards you pay at the bar as well.
We chose to start with the ribs as sideorder, my main dish was the dragon noodles and our dessert the snickers.
The spare ribs are pretty soft and well made. The dragon noodles are not spicy and really delicious. My personal highlight was the dessert, cause the snickers were superb!
Overall it was a really good experience and the menu has an awesome combination. That’s what I love about fusion kitchens.
Pros: Fully vegan, Good desserts
bottino
Thanks for the thoughtful review! Love that you enjoyed the fusion vibes—ribs, dragon noodles, and snickers is a solid lineup 😄 Hope to have you back soon to try more from the menu!
