Tasty and fast service - Edit
Cosy place with menu on the wall as well as a qr code for the menu; the dragon noodle dish was filling and delicious; slightly on the pricey side though.

A busy vegan cafe in Amsterdam - Edit
I went to eat lunch there and got the last table, so it might be useful to book a table just in case. I saw multiple people not get a table. I wasn't very hungry so I only tried mushroom bitterballen, which were nice. Great texture. But need to come back to form a proper opinion :)
Read moreCons: A bit too busy for my taste
bottino
Thanks for the review! Glad you enjoyed the mushroom bitterballen — they’re a favorite. Booking ahead is definitely a good idea, and we’d love to welcome you back for a full meal next time!

Very friendly service.
Read moreTaste okay, noodles not fresh, quite expensive and small portion.
Drinks come in small bottles I had never seen before but still more expensive than other places.
The BEN BEN NOODLES were really tasty but were not freshly made which you can expect at that high price.
Pros: It was vegan, Taste was good, Very friendly service
Cons: Very pricy and small portion, Not freshly prepared, No reusable chopsticks- not sustainable
bottino
Well. Sorry we didn;t made the cut for you.

A ne pas manquer!! - Edit
J'ai adoré le cadre, la play-list (jusqu'à ce que le resto soit trop rempli pour encore l'entendre), le staff sympa, et surtout les plats !! Absolument délicieux, savoureux et copieux aussi! J'aurais aimé tester ce resto plus tôt pendant mon séjour, car j'y serais très certainement retournée pour essayer d'autres plats! (Et accessoirement leurs vins naturels aussi)
Read morePros: Les plats vraiment savoureux et pas gras du tout
Cons: Le bruit dès qu'il y a un peu de monde
bottino
Merci beaucoup ! On est ravis que tu aies aimé l’ambiance, la musique, l’équipe et surtout les plats. Dommage que tu ne sois pas venue plus tôt, mais on espère te revoir à ton prochain passage à Amsterdam pour tester le reste du menu — et nos vins naturels bien sûr !

Shockingly good - Edit
I have to be honest, I didn’t expect anything shocking, and instead it was DELICIOUS! I had the ben ben noodles and my partner had the miso ramen, and both were SO tasty! The starters were unfortunately a bit too expensive for us at the moment but they looked really amazing too. Honestly highly suggested (make sure you book, we got *very* lucky to find a table and it was a Monday night)

Firm favourite - Edit
Latest update: Still great! The ribs are maybes even better than before and I had the kimchi Reuben for the first time and really liked it.
Read moreUpdate: 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!

😍 Ben Ben Noodles are a must, and we're thrilled you enjoyed the cod croquettes, aubergine dip, and seitan sandwich. Sharing starters rocks! 🌱 Thanks for making Soil your go-to. Can't wait to see you again! 🍜🌮🥳

Great selection - Edit
Nice venue tucked away in Amsterdam’s meatless district, just a short walk from the tram network. The menu has a fantastic variety—ramen dishes are outstanding, and the chick’n and cheeze burgers were absolutely fabulous. Don’t skip the fries; they’re a real taste sensation! We finished off with what might just be the most incredible cheesecake in the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
