"Amie S" is a disgruntled ex-employee just fired from Soy.

by HDesChenes

Reviews written by Clarence H & Amie S are fabricated by a disgruntled employee recently fired from Soy.

The most recent Health Code inspection is available at:

h t t p://167.153.150.32/RI/web/detail.do?method=detail&restaurantId=41406332&inspectionDate=20090611

(In New York, an inspection must be under 28 points to not require a hearing. Soy's most recent inspection was 9, well within the acceptable range.)

The previous health inspection "Amie S" mentioned was conducted the day Soy was undergoing major repairs, and not even open for business.

If you want to get sick, eat here!

by AmieS

Before eating at Soy Luck Club, you should check out their Restaurant Inspection Information from their last inspection. I did after I got very sick eating at Soy Luck Club, and am DISGUSTED. Here is the link 167.153.150.32/RI/web/detail.do?method=history&restaurantId=41406332

They Scored a 44 (a zero is a perfect score, so a 44 is like a 56% = MAJOR FAILURE).

I have been to Soy Luck Club twice now and have to say the place is average at best. Both times I was there I a soy matte-latte with honey ginger and a #1 pressed bagel with salmon and soy cream cheese. I have to admit that it was yummy both times. However, both times I came home and was VERY sick. I figured that I might have developed a sensitivity to soy milk, which I have read happens to people from time to time. But, after talking to a neighbor who also had a similar experience after eating at Soy, I am convenced that it is not a sensitivity. Because I NEVER get sick drinking a soy latte anywhere else.

My neighbor pointed me to the NYC Dept. of Health and Mental Hygiene (listed above). It took a little bit to find them, because there has a been an address change from what is posted on the Soy Luck Club website (it is no longer 115 Greenwich, it is now 1 Jane Street) and the company is listed as the Yos Corp (Yos= Soy spelled backwards). It made my skin crawl. It is no wonder I got sick after reading violations 4/5/6 and 8. EKK!

• Pros: I liked the staff.
• Cons: Diaheria, Vomitting and Stomach Cramps. (just to name a few)

THE BEST CAFE IN THE WEST VILLAGE, BY FAR!!!

by amyrosemarsh

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! The food's awesome, the look is hip and happening and the service is consistently wonderful and smiley! I don't know what "wvWriter"'s problem is, but Soy's staff is always lovely and kind; I've never met a more friendly, knowledgeable collage of characters in my life!

I have special, semi-demanding dietary needs, and Kristian has always been there to help me. Garrett, who's adorable, went as far to suggest my new favorite drink--the mate latte!! I take care of 2 young children who can be a handful, and Howard has always been incredibly kind to them--He's a dear!

It baffles me that wvWriter has issues with the staff's "hygiene"--these men are some of the cleaniest men I've seen (trust me, ladies!). If the bitter wvWriter has such personal and mean complaints about the staff of soy--maybe the store is better off without him (quite frankly, he/she is probably a pain in the butt to serve...)

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Everyone go there and get a soyafrost--props to the owner and all who make the experience delicious!

• Pros: Healthy food, AWESOME SERVICE, tasty soyo chicken
• Cons: Cons? The only con is that this place is CONsistantly good!
