Trivia
The Soup Nazi was based on Al Yeganeh, the real-life owner of Soup Kitchen International in Manhattan, New York City. After the episode aired, Jerry Seinfeld and members of the cast and crew went to the restaurant for lunch. Yeganeh yelled at them and stated that the publicity had ruined his reputation. After Seinfeld offered an apology, Yeganeh yelled, "No soup for you!" and ejected them from his restaurant. Any references to "Seinfeld" are forbidden in any Soup Kitchen International.

Goofs
Despite the sign in the soup shop stating "No substitutions or phone orders", the phone rings and an employee appears to be writing an order down on a pad while George is complaining about not getting any bread with his soup order and again during his second visit after placing his order and commenting about getting bread. The phone rings again and another order appears to be taken while Elaine talks to the Soup Nazi about how he looks like Al Pacino.

Quotes
Customer: Uh, gazpacho, por favor.
Soup Nazi: Por favor?
Customer: Um, I'm part Spanish.
Soup Nazi: Adios, muchacho!

Elaine, No paper bag for you unfortunately.

Soup. Another episode about soup.

In the month of March 08 in the year 2023 (hey future people!!) this review was written.

About: A Hydra soup cooker randomly sets shop in New York City. Everyone loves his soup at the same time fear Hydra Soup Man.

George tires to get soup while being lovey-dovey with Susan Ross.

Jerry is lovey-dovey and loves the Hydra Soup Man

Kramer feuds with the street toughs.

Elaine continues to be a Bword.

Story and Production: Great story based on a true story. I just wish they gave the Hydra Soup Man more to do.

Production, it was fine.

Highlight: No soup for you. Elaine looking like a witch in the end.

Laugh Meter: 7. George being annoyed by Jerry was funny, and being Lovey-Dovey with Susan.

Villian: Elaine. She's so ugggh!

Girlfriend Attractiveness Level: Jerry's girl was meh. I'll give her a 3. Susan is an ok 4.5

What can be learned?: Keep Bword femmies away from soup

Verdict: Soup for you. A good episode to enjoy.
