35 Best Soup near Alameda

“Really love this place ! Food is delicious! Outdoor dining is refreshing.“

“Excellent food! The Pho was amazing clear and so yummy! Can’t wait to try more items on the menu; next time!“

“Top 5 bowls of Pho I've ever had.
Just happened upon this spot. Yes, it's a little shady feeling, yes the English barrier is there, yes there were local folks and YES it was one of the best bowls of Pho I've ever had... And that counts the many bowls I had in Vietnam.“

“The staffs were nice. We were greeted and offered seats right away.

What we ordered:
Seafood Pancake- It was pretty good, a bit thicker than other places and sauce was okay.

Donkatsu- The pork was good and portion was good for the price.

Pork Belly BBQ- It was a tab dry and a bit bland. Wasn’t my favorite.

Banchan- The plates are cute but made the portion of banchan very small. Banchan were good, we had to ask for extra.

Would come again if I’m in the area and try something different.“

“Our food came out fast after ordering. We ordered the soy garlic boneless chicken and I was drooling. The picture doesnt do it justice but it’s really good. We also got rose teokbokki and the teokbokki was the perfect chewiness. Would recommend coming here!“

“So glad I tried this place out. It was similar to Shangrila Buddhist Cafe in Albany except I couldn’t get oil-free or salt-free. I ordered the sauces on the side and ate. Soup. Medium plate w/salad, collards, garbanzo beans, sweet and regular potatoes and a “rice burger.” Dessert was chocolate pie. Yummy. Great service. Updated from previous review on 2026-03-18“

“Tasty chowder & friendly staff“

“A pure delight. Terrific homemade food that is fresh and filling. I love the rockfish sandwich, which I order open-faced next to a seasonal salad and a fat slice of cake. The coffee is strong and they also serve beer and wine. I can’t wait to try a warm plate, there is schnitzel, kugel, pasta … A little piece of me died when Gaumenkitzel closed, but my heart is healing at Anja’s.“

“I real hole in the wall. No big sign so you have to know.

The best jianbing I've had outside of China. Crispy and not too salty. My wife said it's authentic Tianjin style.

The soy milk was amazing! Very smooth and slightly sweet even though it wasn't sweetened. No burnt taste.

Alas, he was out of tea eggs.

Friendly.“

“Great Place! Highly Recommend!“

“One of the best Korean Restaurant in town. I ate with my 2 friends, and we ordered the Rose Galbi Jim. I really liked the spices and the soup of the galbi, blended really well with the mozzarella cheese. Moreover, the texture of the tteokbokki was so soft and tasty. At the same time, the portion of the Galbi was so big, we couldn’t finish it so we took some back home.
the other best part was that you could refill the banchan. Would recommend you to ask more for the tofu and kimchi, really mouthwatering. the waiter and waitress were kind and friendly, they served you fast.
we visited the restaurant quite late in the afternoon, so we didn’t need to queue since there were plenty tables. the parking area was big too.“

“10/10 highly recommend! Great service, very clean place, sandwich was packed and delicious. I had The Godfather and wow!! Definitely will be coming back again“

“Monster Pho is an absolute gem, both in terms of food + value, and community support; they've just announced that until SNAP benefits are fully restored, kids under 12 can get pho for free if you show them your SNAP card (and a discount for parents, but no purchase necessary for the kids' pho).

I could not be prouder or more grateful to have a business like this in our area. Get some delicious food and support their community efforts! I love their bahn mi, it's definitely one of the best values in the area, and I've never had to wait long for take out (can't speak to dine-in service but I would guess it's also fab).“

“The food was delicious… Absolutely melted in my mouth. I had a chicken burrito everything was cooked to perfection… Our waiter Avery was out of this world...in addition to the food...he just makes the place👍🏻“

“Me and my bf came here for valentines day. One of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. Friendly staff, delicious food, 0 misses. Can't wait to come back.

Our meal:

Prawn and garlic noodles, roti and curry, karaage chicken, Thai ice tea, sticky rice and mango.“

“I ordered the chicken noodle and tomato soup to be delivered. The soup was very good, but the bread was NOT sour dough as expected, it was a cut in half hoagie roll...yuk! This was a HUGE disappointment as I only eat sourdough or dark rye bread. Esp in the bay area where Sourdough is the go to. You need to serve what you say you have. This kind of stuff drives me crazy. It is as if the customer is not going to know...not good!“

“I enjoyed my Meal. I found the service excellent and Ti curry yum.“

“经常更新季节性的鱼类…😋新鲜…主要的是老板很帅☺️…😜“

“Came in this small but cozy restaurant for a quick lunch bite and was surprised by the ambiance. I got the pork chop over rice and was surprised on how authentic it tasted. Crispy and homey - good blend of veggies and meat. Definitely a spot for casual get-togethers or a quick lunch. I would come back to try the food they didn’t have in stock (certain foods weren’t available depending on the days of the week or month)“

“couldn’t be happier with my visit here!! The banchan was unforgettably fresh and flavorful, and the bulgogi paired perfectly with it. I only regret not getting our waitresses’ name because she was so kind and friendly to us! Super glad I have a new favorite spot to come back to :)“

“The food is delicious no matter what you eat, The owner goes above the call of duty to make you welcome! Great hospitality love it !!“

“Great food, fast and consistent customer service and the atmosphere was very chill. From the front door to our waitress everyone was very polite and professional. It's obviously not top notch Italian food. But it's always flavorful and consistent. The bread is always warm and the salad was nice and crisp. The Alfredo and chicken hit the spot and the drinks kept flowing. Love this location.“

“I got number 14, the broth and noddle came out hot and super delicious. Only one type of meat on here but tasty. Overall very welcoming atmosphere and server was nice and friendly. Clean eating area with lots of tables and a big table for a big family size to eat also.“

“I've been coming to Thanh Ky since forever. You'll always see OG's eating here. And yes, this is a hole in the wall spot.

The staff are nice and the owner is always friendly. The noodle soup always hit the spot when I'm craving for noodles! 😋

They accept cash only.“

“They have good food here and they still open“

“Smoky, delicious, yummy goodness!“

“This place strives for customer satisfaction. The place is clean and no sticky tables, everything is in its place nice and neat. The food presentation is on point, and most important of all is the THE FOOD IS ON POINT. Delicious and you get what you ask for.
I’ve been to other Kyoto Ramen chains and though this one is on the smaller side. They pack a punch 🤜🏽 in Quality.“

“Let’s be honest about JL Kitchen: you’re not coming here for gourmet food. You’re coming for some serious Chinese comfort food, at good value. What you get are amazing portion sizes of very tasty and basic American Chinese fares. Sometimes that’s exactly what the doc… I mean chef, ordered!“

“My personal favorite dish is their House special pan fried noodles. The portion of this was insane, this itself can feed 4 people. Love the vegetables, squid, shrimp,…. on top of the noodles. The toppings are cooked with this slightly thick sauce which drenches the fried noodle making it some parts of it crunchy and some of it soft/soggy. I grew up eating this dish and so I’m almost always ordering this dish.

My second favorite dish is their honey walnut shrimp. This is always a hit at every family dinner I have and so I just had to order it. Their shrimp had a bite to it and a bouncy texture. It was cooked perfectly.

Everything we ordered:
- $20.95 Honey Walnut Shrimps
- $25.95 Beef cubes and scallop with teriyaki sauce
- $24.95 Pickled dried vegetables/Braised pork belly with sweet potato leaves
- $20.95 House special pan fried noodles
- $19.95 Salt and pepper pork chops
- $9.95 Marinated tofu“

“Great Take and Bakes! Amazing cookies! Genuine Goodness is a special gem in the little town of Orinda.“

“The food is good, the portions are generous, and the prices are a bargain. The restaurant seems to cater towards the student lunch crowd, so the lines can get long.
I have tried the kimchi fried rice, the popcorn chicken, and the beef Bulgari, and I can recommend them all“

“Great place to have a hot noodle soup. Their special rice noodle dishes are the bomb.
They have complementary hot water and hot tea that is self serving. Plenty of room for seating and also very clean. Mostly no waiting time. Plenty of parking“

“Delicious! Amazing tofu kimchi stew, kimchi pancakes and bibimbap. Highly recommend for authentic Korean food beyond Korean bbq.“

“old skool cool. i've had many a meal here. it's probably responsible for how much i weigh after college.......actually i went here even more after graduating. everything is good. in particular pepper garlic chicken and basil eggplant chicken are two tasty standouts. good pad thai and pad see ew too. thankfully i work a little farther away from campus now, so i can't go here too often....but maybe i'll go again...“

“Food was done quickly and it tasted amazingly delicious.“
