I usually don't write reviews unless I really dislike a restaurant. The service was terrible, waitress took forever to take our orders and the food was garbage! I love vegetarian food but this place is nothing great. It's overpriced and there's no flavor at all. I RECOMMEND House of Vegetarian on Mott St. Now that's what I call GOOD FOOD!

Please take note--this review based on my experience at the new 6th St. locale, situated b/t 1st Av/2nd Ave. This is the first positive review of a place I've ever written. Souen hits on all cylinders. The organic veggies are so fresh and bursting with flavor. The broth also is savory. The lunch special is tight, featuring a ramen bowl and a side item (might I recommend the Onigiri--a rice ball wrapped in seaweed, but you get to wrap it yourself!) for $10. The servers are enthusiastic about the cuisine and also quite knowledgable. W/o my asking I was provided by my waitress a description of all the liquids and spices on the table. To her credit, the waitress--an avid cartoon buff-- was also willing to indulge my desire to discuss baseball and japanese cinema. The decor is minimalist and creates a serene ambiance. Are there any negatives at all to this place? One might argue that the way the specials are listed on the wall conjures up images of his kindergarten classroom, but for me the thought of kindergarten conjures up solely positive memories. Didn't we get to change clothes with the girls daily? Anyhow, do yourself a favor and visit Souen for light, fresh and healthy and zesty fare, if not for an opportunity to reminisce about changing beside the young ladies in kindergarten.

I've been eating here for over 10 years and it's my favorite restaurant in NYC. Why? Because it's delicious, clean food, and it's moderately priced. Healthy eating doesn't have to be more expensive. There is so much fat/salt/sugar hidden in food at other restaurants, and ever since I started seeing a nutritionist, I've been off sugar and simple carbs, among other things, Souen has been my staple. The zen atmosphere is soothing as well...this place is my comfort zone.
