50 Best Soup near Pasadena

“The food was delicious, the service excellent, the establishment was clean, portions generous, and cost affordable. We ordered chow mein, fish with black bean sauce, and Mongolian beef. It's not Chinese fast food, it's a sit down restaurant. Surprised it wasn't crowded as the food is delicious. The location is a little non-descript but street parking was easy. I live in Gardena and although there are several Chinese restaurants, none are good. This was a lucky find as restaurant reviews in general tend to result in a bad choice.“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“I ordered the pho soup and man I would this is the best pho I’ve had in America. Not gonna lie, the thai tea is amazing and that boba too.“

“very good food good service“

“I had the roast duck here and it was absolutely amazing! The skin was perfectly crispy, and the meat was juicy, flavorful, and tender. You can tell it’s freshly made and prepared with care.

The portion was generous and paired really well with the house-made sauce and rice. Honestly, it reminded me of the authentic flavors you’d find in Asia.

Friendly service, clean environment, and great value for the quality. If you’re a fan of duck, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Good morning Good breakfast 😇 Reyes Soto“

“It’s the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors over breakfast. The coffee and pastries are also very nice.We had a vegetarian sandwich which was very delicious, a green salad, eggs, coffee and some muffins. Would love to go back here with family and friends.“

“Good place great food 🥰😘😍“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“The first few bites are OUT OF THIS WORLD! But then the oil and fat from the dry noodles hits and that's when it gets difficult. Definitely recommend the dry noodles, but not for those with high blood pressure. I haven't tried their soup noodles, but they should be good.“

“We had a wonderful experience here!! Service was 10/10 and they helped make my friend’s birthday memorable. The ramen is delicious - not too salty or oily or heavy, and the broth is super tasty. This establishment has a rich history; ask the servers!

Thank you to Mija, our server, for an amazing experience!“

“Please please do yourself a favor and eat here! We had the ceviche Classico & lomo saltado - I’m not even joking that my boyfriend and I had to hug after the meal because it was SO delicious and enjoyable. The flavors were bright and unique. You can tell that these recipes were thoughtful created! Can’t wait to try more on the menu ❤️“

“A Hidden Gem for Vietnamese Comfort Food!

I had an incredible dining experience at this Vietnamese restaurant. The standout dish was their beef stew pho, which was absolutely unforgettable. The broth was rich, flavorful, and deeply comforting—unlike any pho I’ve had before. It had a unique blend of spices that gave it a slightly sweet, aromatic depth, and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. What made it even better? It came with a warm, soft baguette on the side—perfect for dipping into the broth. So simple, but such a game changer.

I also tried their vermicelli special, and it did not disappoint. It came beautifully arranged with grilled meats, fresh herbs, and crispy spring rolls—all bursting with flavor and texture. Every bite was balanced and satisfying.

If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese flavors with a creative twist, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Me gusta la comida pero no tienen q perder el cuidado en la presentación de los platos y asegurarse q lleven todo eso es muy importante aun tengan mucha junte haser los platos con la misma cuidado de ciempre“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“We were driving around shopping and got hungry, so we stopped in to Monta Factory. I was completely unfamiliar with the food, but the aromas were fantastic. We decided to play it safe and got the chicken sandwiches plus a couple of the cheese khinkali. While we were waiting for the food, several large orders went out catering style. So, although we were the only patrons dining in, it was clear the restaurant does a good catering business.

Our food arrived in a few minutes, and it all looked great. The chicken sandwich had a generous piece of baked chicken. There were pickled veggies, roasted peppers, a great garlic sauce, all in a perfectly toasted chibatta bun. All together, it amounted to a wonderful sandwich. It was delicious and filling. A great combination of flavors.

I had never had a khinkali before, so didn’t know what to expect. It was a very cheesy, lightly fried dumpling. Very good!

After having a sample of what they make, I want to go back and have a selection of the rest. I’m definitely coming back.“

“Everything we had here was fantastic! I loved the mango iced tea because it actually tastes like mangos, the chicken was nice and crunchy on the outside, juice and delicious on the inside. We also had xiao baos and their dry noodles with peanut butter sauce which were both fantastic! I would recommend against getting their devils hot sauce unless you have like an amazing spice tolerance! I thought my spice tolerance was fine because i can handle tapatio and valentina easily but this sauce left me chugging my drink and feeling the chili under my tongue for hours!“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“The place has a cozy, vintage charm, perfect for relaxing with friends over a few drinks and some freshly grilled skewers. Every skewer was perfectly seasoned and cooked — smoky, juicy, and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. A must-visit spot if you love good food and a great atmosphere!“

“My family came here before, and loved it so much they made us drive 1 hour 10 through LA traffic to come again. All vegetarian (some contain eggs, clearly marked), mostly vegan. First class food. The best was the Vege Fish with Pine Nuts; but even the Chopped Mustard with Tofu Skin was excellent. The other tables were all filled with Chinese people - it looks popular. Updated from previous review on 2025-10-19“

“I enjoyed this place a lot. It was a little bit hard to find at first, as it is located above the supermarket. The server was very friendly, helping me to find a good vegetarian option. The cold sesame noodles were tasty and refreshing, and the price is not bad ($8.99). The dining area is spacious and comfortable.“

“Very great food and good service. Good decor and there is lots of parking outside. Only downside is the menu is only in Korean but just use google translate.

I like how peaceful it is. It gave me the time and quiet to finally think about the social economic state of the world right now. Food is fire.“

“The dumplings are so good!!“

“😃I like the way they cook all family members working real Thai Food cook by Thai people“

“Came here after a Dodger game and was very happy with the food, service, and quiet atmosphere. All the food was delicious and came out quick. It was exactly what we needed.

Staff informed us right away there is no bathroom in the restaurant but directed us to the nearest one if needed.“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“Literally the warmest, kindest service I have EVER had. Unreal. And the food is soooo fresh and delicious. And we are serious food snobs, so we mean it. Come here immediately and feel the love!“

“Very kind and friendly staff! Everything was freshly made to order, juicy, and very flavorful. This was also very affordable. The scallion oil noodles, and beef/cilantro dumplings were our standouts but we loves everything we ordered.

We would love to revisit someday when we travel back to this area!“

“I love this cafe. The chicken salad is so good! My friend always loves the grilled short ribs. This is also our go to spot for fluffy pancakes. The matcha one is perf! The cream is very matcha-y. And the pancakes are perfectly cooked and so soft, fluffy and jiggly. Cannot recommend this spot enough!!!“

“Cute homey Japanese vibes. It’s a small restaurant so I can see there’d be a wait on busy days. Luckily we only had to wait about 5 min. The menu is straightforward. Comfort Japanese dishes. Service was great, they’re super nice and very attentive!

The tempura was good, sauce was great too. Katsu was fried perfectly, sauce was tangy and fantastic, just wish the pork was more moist/tender. Karaage was just okay, probably wouldn’t order it again, most of the flavor came from the sauce. My dad loved his eel bowl set, flavored and cooked well. My katsudon bowl was delicious, again katsu was a little dry, togarashi is a must with this bowl. And the cold soba noodles were great, the sauce dip was perfectly seasoned and noodles were perfect texture, very refreshing to eat.

Parking - small free lot! We had no issues getting parking.“

“Food is actually great. Only thing is finding table since it does get very packed and some tend to stay long. Parking can be difficult to find since this plaza is super popular with the other food vendors they have as well as the famous fish restaurant“

“I've been to lot of Phó and let me tell you. This restaurant is so delicious and delivered the best food and drinks especially the coconut signature. I come here for many years and never lost touch in rich Vietnamese flavor. Thank you always making me smile and tummy filled“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“I been coming here for a year now happy to see dine in is open again, amazing beef noodle soup and I yummy fruit tea. Very worth the price and family own business that has amazing customer service 10/10“

“Their Tan Tan Men Ramen are the best! I love how I have the opportunity to customize our ground meat choices (I.e. ground pork or ground chicken). Topped with nori, baby bok choy, bean sprouts, hard-boiled egg, and ground meat, the ramen have the perfect flavor. Their chicken karaage were the best too!“

“My parents have been here before and said their food was good. We checked them out tonight and their food isn’t just good, it’s delicious!! We ordered 4 different bento boxes and two bowls, so fresh and tasty. I love supporting small businesses! Do yourself a favor and give them a try! We loved the casual vibe and even the little claw machine!“

“I was just passing by on my way to a work meeting and was craving Yellow curry.Let me just say that the rice was fresh and fluffy, pairing just perfectly with the yellow curry and chicken. There was a generous amount of chicken, potato and carrots which some restaurants skip out on.The staff were super friendly and attentive. I will definitely come back when I’m in the area again.“

“The food is great and the atmosphere is very easy. I've had their bowls and try to eat here when I come to the court for other things, but their times are advertised incorrectly on google. I was at the court all day and thought I had time to eat dinner until 9 because that's when google said they closed today saturday. I went up to eat at 8 but it turns out they close at 8 everyday and closed on sunday, so honestly frustrated right now precisely because the food is so good, I was looking forward to it and not really craving anything else 🤦🏻‍♂️“

“Shin Chon Seolleongtang is a hidden gem in Koreatown that seriously delivers on flavor. The soy-marinated shrimp was incredibly fresh—perfectly seasoned with just the right balance of salty and sweet. A great way to start the meal.

The galbijjim was also a standout: tender, fall-off-the-bone short ribs in a rich, savory sauce with just a hint of sweetness. You can tell they take time to do it right.

Service was friendly and fast, and the space was clean and welcoming. Whether you're craving a warm bowl of soup or a hearty shared dish, this spot won’t disappoint. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour“

“Me and the husband went here for the first time. We chose the premium as we didn't like any of the meats or broths in the prime option. I ordered the sukiyaki broth and the native chongquin Mala. The Mala was very spicy as soon as I got it. I removed all the chilies, and it was still spicy but delicious. I started mixing both broths to balance spiciness, and it was delicious. They have a self-serve buffet with many options, and the meats are ordered at the table. My favotire was the pork belly, shrimp and the fish filet. My mouth is watering just thinking about it ?. Their service was great, for sure we're going again this weekend ?“

“lovely little eatery, not too busy at 1pm on a Wednesday. great selection of teas. we ordered wonton soup (very filling and hearty), gyudon (delicious and sweetly savoury), and white peony tea (crisp and refreshingly light!) will definitely come again. i appreciate the plastic dividers between tables - good to see that a business still cares about privacy and COVID consciousness in a small space!“

“Love their duck salad! I've never had duck cooked this way before and it's delicious. They have this awesome deal... if you buy the half duck salad, get a bowl of noodles with it free! But it's dine in only.
Been here 2x now and definitely would come back. I want to give food 4.5 stars only bc the Thai tea I had was barely sweet. Didn't love it.“

“do not let the casual exterior of this building fool you - they're serious about food here. came on a Saturday night and it was packed, but they managed to seat us almost immediately! win. we ordered their lobster supreme, roasted duck, and some scrambled eggs with shrimp. rice and soup came with the meal. the lobster? fresh. delicious. chopped for easy eating ( true lobster monsters know how difficult it can be to eat this crustacean when it is improperly prepared! ) duck? delicious and toasty and very flavorful. and the scrambled egg and shrimp is a good, not too salty, meal balancer. very fluffy and soft. the tea they served was also brewed very well, very fragrant and none of the burnt taste. 10/10 would visit again and maybe try some of the other special meals (I gotta come back for the garlic crab)

edit: they have a complimentary little mango pudding for us 🥹“

“Today I went to eat with my friend and I liked the food and I’m happy to see that they changed their staff since previously the other boy had a terrible attitude to serve customers but today I left very satisfied to see that they served me very well“

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味“

“When I first arrived to this restaurant, I didn’t see any other diners and was quite hesitant. But soon enough they proved my ‘pre-thoughts’ wrong.
Definitely one of the best Vietnamese home cooked meals at a restaurant in the area. The flavour is so authentic that can transport you back to the Southern of Vietnam (mien Tay) in a bite. We ordered the lunch set for family and cannot fault a thing. It came with canh chua, ca chien, goi tom thit, ca kho, bap cai chua. Flavour was mouth watering and all very good value for money. This is such a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent, clean, attentive, friendly service. Definitely would go back.“
