Soy

Very intimate setting, reminds me of the Netflix show called Midnight Diner. One lady was doing everything, and the food was delicious! I had the Spicy Tuna Avocado bowl and my boyfriend got the Beef stew (forgot the name). Great food, great service, great ambiance!

The service was objectively poor when we went- shockingly slow- took 15 minutes to order and over 20 to check out. But I’m going to assume this isn’t typical. The food was delicious- very simple and definitely leaves you with a “home cooked” feeling. Every dish we tried was nicely done. I would suggest an appetizer and an entree for each person, the portions are not necessarily small but if you’re hungry it’s worth an add.

My first visit this past summer was perfect. Came in on a Saturday afternoon after a long hike. I had ice cold beer and tried everything on the daily menu. Every course from the soup to the cold dish to the main course was delicious! I visited again this past Saturday and got turned away. The lady running the place said she was not taking new parties before 4pm. Next time, I'd probably try calling first.

This is a super delicious place in a quiet town near Kingston. I have been here twice in the last week, both times for the Hijiki (seaweed salad) and the Spicey Tuna & Avocado Bowl. My friend had the Bento Box with Mackerel. Everything ridiculously fresh - like being transported back to a favorite spot in Japan. If I lived here, it would be my second home 💗

I love Soy. The owner/chef is a beautiful person and takes great care in her food. It is healthy and very delicious. She can make dishes/salads with Gluten free sauces so ask for it. Call ahead to make reservations. Owner is doing everything herself- be patient, relax and enjoy the lovely garden, view of river out back and drinks while you wait for food. Totally worth it (I come from NYCity just to go to Soy after she moved her restaurant up there).
