Ramen, pho, egg drop—there are many flavorful Asian-inspired soups. So why highlight a sushi restaurant’s chicken soup? Yamanoya’s version ($5), with chicken, fresh mushrooms, snow peas, Chinese napa cabbage, and (optional) chilies, is as warming and comforting as Mom’s, but with a little kick. Pair it with one of 30 special rolls (we like the BMW—spicy crunchy crab topped with pepper tuna and white tuna) and it’s a quick meal that beats out a deli soup and sandwich any day of the week.
