What People Are Saying About Soup Kitchen Intl

The Scene
Lining up for the strict Soup Nazi of "Seinfeld" fame brings on an eerie sense of deja vu; it's exactly as the show represented it, down to the posted sign listing the rules of behavior and the rigid enforcement of orderly conduct (have your money ready and step to the left immediately after ordering). Even with the lines stretching around the block, it's worth it.
The Food
SKI offers approximately eight kinds of soup a day, in three sizes, and all of them are delicious--particularly the luscious lobster bisque and the chicken chili, which is generally the first to disappear from the menu. The prices may seem a bit steep for a humble bowl of soup, but each comes with a bag of sides selected to complement it: a variety of breads, fresh fruit and even a chocolate.

We checked this place during summer and it wasn't even open! (apparently you should go during winter) This is the real deal from Seinfeld with the real Soup Nazi guy.

This place has some great soup. It will not be the world-transforming experience that the hype might make you expect but only because there are few things that could keep up with such hype. The man is not rude so much as he just doesn't talk much. And the soup is not at all expensive since it is hearty as a meal and comes with bread, fruits and a chocolate.

Yeah, so the soups might be a little overpriced, but it's the best soup I've ever had! And I think it's great that the guy is so rude--makes you really feel like you're on Seinfeld :) Those people who complain about it really have no sense of humor. Too bad they're closed during summer.
