The Soup Meister Reviews

Poor customer service by the older female employee. Does not appreciate customers.

This is one of my favorite places, they keep their menu focused on what they do best, their soups are delicious and the staff are awesome. They get their buns from Cobb. Their prices are reasonable and portions generous. I like mixing their Seafood & Boston Clam Chowders together.

Good soup and bread and good price, but bad customer service. You have to get their attention or they won't ask if you need help or have been helped. Train your staff to be more aware. I know you are busy, especially during lunch, but make sure to be friendly, offer samples, instead of having people ask for them, and smile!

Very good soup if you want to eat something smaller. X-varieties can also be taken home chilled. Very good idea.

Clam chowder is below my expectation. Too creamy and salty.

Excellent soup and very hearty and filling and never disappoints. Also there is take away if you don't want to sit and eat there itself they do have more choices for take away as well.

BEST soup I enjoyed just now . Complement to Chef .

Great Soups. Great Value.. Something for every taste. Hearty and delicious... I always get a second bun with my order.

Best soups in the city! Excellent soups made from scratch right in front of you. Great variety and a menu that changes daily. Always a vegetarian option as well. Can purchase for freezing.

Amazing soups! I would come to the Lonsdale just for a bowl of their soups of the day...There are usually 4-5 to choose from. They even have refrigerated soups to take home!

Price has gone up but still very good soup and served with a roll. Very tasty. You'll have the choice of a selection of soups of the day, there were 4 on when we visited.

Lots of chopping and cooking but no hygene, no masks nor distancing! Gross!

Quite shocked to see none of the employees wearing masks while working at arm's length from each other, and even more shocked to observe the maskless employee frequently touch his face while putting out soup containers with bare hands. He then moved to handling the cash register... Owner's response, "stay home if you are so afraid" and "go somewhere else if you don't like what you see..." ALL THIS SHORTLY AFTER ADDITIONAL COVID RESTRICTIONS WERE ORDERED FOR METRO VANCOUVER..

A bowl of soup, a bag, good taste, the best choice in the afternoon!

It was just what I needed today! The staff is funny and sweet, the soups are flavourful and not too salty (perfect!), and the price is very affordable too! Totally recommended!

Fantastisch! Very much like my granny's homemade soup! To be recommended.

He has a daily soup that is something I like to get when I am in the area. Great soups and a fridge for storing soup to go.

The spaghetti sauce was awesome! Will buy more of that.

Excellent selection, price and portions. Great establishment!!

I love this place! Best deal ever for a hearty, fresh and nutritious soup. I can't recall how many times I've been there and they are always delicious!

One of the best soup restaurants on the lower mainland

A lot of clam chowder! The soup is not hot enough :p

Over Rated Soup. Been here years ago. Come back and EXACT same 5 soups. Apparently chef doesn't know how to do anything different. Blah.

Soup please.
Tandoori chicken won the "soup off" today.
Hot soup includes a bun.
Cold soup does not include a bun.

Tried three different soups: seafood chowder, lemon chicken and cream of mushroom. All were very salty. The seafood chowder tasted like cat food. I could not even finish mine and it wasn t because I was full.

I always order borsch here. L size is full. You can choose the type of bread.

Whenever I go up to Grouse Mtn I stop by the Soup Meister on the way home to buy some soup for my dinner and i m never disappointed the service is great and the young people that work there should give themselves a pat on the back for doing such a great job!Such a great place thank you for all your hard work and time much appreciated!

The soup and crunchy bun never fails. All hail the soup meister!!!!

I wish they could change their soup more often today it was great soup

I cannot talk highly enough about this place. The best soups on earth. These guys make incredible soups from scratch every day. Everything grease and super tasty. There is no one bad word that anyone can say about this place!!! Every time that I m in north van I try to make it for a soup here. Every guest that I have in town I bring them here and they love it!!!!

I meet friends in this great spot quite often! This is the best place to eat. I visit this spot frequently. The cooking is of high quality, the team is polite and the payment is decent. I enjoy going in this place to have a decent lunch.

Hearty, delicious, fresh soups. We just picked up several different soups and four of us had 3 different kinds and we all loved our soup. Yes it costs more than canned soup but the ingredients are listed and I'd much rather serve my kids these soups as they are much healthier, worth the little bit more. I definitely recommend on stocking up on their delicious soups as they are also freezer friendly. I've had their soups before and every time it's excellent.

Constantly rotating selection of amazing soups served hot with a freshly baked bun.

Soups also available to take home

If you eat chicken noodle soup or tomato soup the next day after drinking ...

Fresh made soups daily.Everyone loves this place.
Fantastic soups.
Highly recommended.

Highly recommend! Wide variety of delicious soups made front scratch. Eat hot soup with a bun or take out from the refrigerated lockers. We go here at least once a week.

Really good soups and selection of soups. My favs are the beef short rib and split pea and ham :)

Average tasting soup - nothing much in the way of ingredients, seems like they add quite a bit of thickeners to make you full without actually adding any fresh produce. Staff are ok, although service seemed pretty cold.

Fresh soup, helpful staff. I like their tomato basil soup so much.

Soup is amazing and price is great. Service not amazing but not bad.

Amazing soups, too bad they're way in North Van bit definitely stop by anytime I'm in the area.

Most amazing soup in Vancouver. Apart from being very affordable, the owner takes great pride in himself and his staff. Everyone is always working hard and very friendly. Great variety and a good stop for meat eaters and those who with more strict diet restrictions alike. Great bang for buck.

I feel compelled to buy their soup every time I'm in the Quay and walk by. It's so good. Chicken chorizo is a top notch soup.

Some of the best soup I've had in a long time. All they do is soup, but they do it so well. I really don't get anything else for lunch when I'm in North Van

Basically "home-made" but without the hassle, or clean-up. So delicious.

Good daily choices and also many more for taking home

Great soups - we haven't had too many of them but our favorite is the mushroom soup which our son also loves. Pair it with a fresh loaf from the bakery next door.

I am so disappointed, what has happened to this place? It used to have amazing soup. I had the lemongrass chicken soup (not sure why it's called that since it just tasted like chicken and rice with some sugar uck!) and my wife had the hamburger ranch soup (I assure you there was 0 ranch flavor). The two stars is only because I feel nostalgic coming here, maybe one day they'll make good soup again.

Hidden gem of North Vancouver. Menu varies daily, always fresh and delicious.

The hearty hamburger soup was really good and whole wheat bread. Will definitely come again.

unfortunately it looks and smells better than it taste

I was just browsing around, waiting for a bus, when I saw this place. The chef had just made a new batch of Manhattan Clam Chowder and the smell was fantastic. You could see the chef was pleased with his creation as he carefully stirred and consolidated the soup. I entered with no intention of buying but I left with a large bowl. DELICIOUS!!! If you take the water bus to North Vancouver, turn right and stop for soup. You'll be happy you did.

Dont buy the borscht, because I want it all. Best soup ever.

Great soup, and several vegetarian choices in the cooler. Would happily go back.

The best soup in North Vancouver hands down. Never disappointed especially when the owner is there. Very good customer service

Good quality soup, fast service. Soup changes daily. Nice variety.

Super awful customer service. The chef has an extremely bad attitude. Soup tastes just okay. Nothing special at all. Don t waste your money.

Great place to grab soup at the Lonsdale Quay Market! I love the Boston Clam Chowder here. The soups are very well made and loaded with clams. There's also a grab & go refrigerated soup section if you want to enjoy the soups later.

Great local business with phenomenal soups. Can't go wrong!

Amazing Italian Wedding Soup! First time today and I will be back!!! Apparently Italian wedding is every two weeks. Add it to your calendar! Deb Christie

Get soup from this place every time I have an opportunity to be at Lonsdale quay

This is the BEST SOUP ON EARTH!!
Even your Grandmother agrees.

Staple on the north shore. Great soup, great price.

They close at 7pm the night we went there however we were told at 6:20 by an arrogant young man that they were no longer serving hot soup (even though he was pouring hot soup into containers right in front of us) and that we had to purchase cold soup from the fridge. This company will never get a penny of my money. Poor service equals no money.

I was really excited to try this place but ended up feeling disappointed. I ordered a small seafood chowder and while the broth was decent there was way too much fish - big hunks. The fish was just ok, mostly very firm tuna I think. Found a few tiny shrimp, smaller than small. I would have preferred more variety in the bowl and even more veg. Maybe I just got a bad scoop. Just too many big dense pieces of fish. The bun was good. Will try this place again but get something different.

One of my favorite places to have Lunch at. I always go for a veggie or chicken soup and it's always on point! Thank you for that!

Excellent home made soup for a fair price! Wholesome quality ingredients!

I bought a large clam chowder today (Feb 18, 2014) and was unfortunately, far from impressed. It was way too bland, I could hardly find any pieces of clam, and the potatoes were few and far between. It was also quite glutinous and I wondered if there had been a lot of cornstarch or similar in it?
All in all, quite disappointing and NOT what I expected.
The service was fine.

Delicious soup and nice location. If you re in the shopping center and looking for a light meal or even a hearty soup before dinner, while you re shopping, this place is perfect. We had the chicken noodles, hamburger soup, and veggie lentil and they were all yummy. The bread was fresh and delicious too.

Always great soup. I have never been disappointed here.
