16 Best Soup in Gardena

“Nice local spot for the area, pho soup is properly seasoned and tasty. They do have pretty much all the pho types with the various meat options and same with the rice combos. I did notice a lot of people ordering the beef rib pho which I'll try next time. Egg rolls were very greasy tho, that's the only gripe.“

“A nice restaurant for Korean comfort food. The bibimbap was good. It feels less Americanized than most restaurants, which was a good thing. We were a bit sad that the samgye tang didn’t have ginseng in it. I think it might be in the broth when they cook it but we usually get the real ginseng our dish too when ordering this. Overall, the taste was good.“

“I'm a 27-year-old From Busan Jinseong soup lover.
It's quite clean and delicious here.
Kimchi and kkakdugi are the basics of a soup restaurant, and the basics are solid.
10 pieces of meat in soup? More than half of the soup and rice bowls were covered + Speaking of service, I guess the owner couldn't stand the water cups and side dish bowls being empty so he kept refilling them.
(However, note that there is no onion, pepper, garlic, and ssamjang sauce)
The prices are the same as other Korean restaurants in the US.

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“most people would probably label No. 1 Chef as a hole in the wall but I would rather label them as a hidden gem ?. Been eating here for about 5 years now and it’s still exquisite every single time. I really enjoy the authenticity and proper quality of their dishes. Thank you No. 1 Chef for always keeping your food fresh and delicious.“

“what a great find! This is some of the best Korean food we’ve had in a long time. The restaurant offers family-style dining with a great selection of soups and a clean, inviting atmosphere. Unlike many Americanized Korean restaurants where the food can be overly sweet or oily, the dishes here are perfectly balanced—flavorful without being too salty or sweet. We’re so glad we discovered this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“Let's be real, sometimes restaurant names escape me. But when my wife says "Korean soup place with all the Korean senior citizens," I instantly remember she means Tofu Village in Gardena.

Here's the thing: if you walk into a Korean restaurant and it's filled with Korean senior citizens, you know the food is legit. And Tofu Village? It's always bustling with them, which is a testament to the authentic, soul-warming dishes they serve.

Their specialty is Soon Tofu, and it's honestly the best value on the menu. A bubbling hot stone bowl filled with flavorful broth, silky tofu, and your choice of protein (I'm a beef guy, through and through)? It's pure comfort food.

But the real star of the show, in my opinion, is the banchan. Those unlimited vegetable side dishes? They're a feast in themselves! Fresh, flavorful, and constantly refilled. And even when you order to go, they don't skimp. They pack up little aluminum foil containers with the best of the bunch, which is a thoughtful touch.

Tofu Village isn't fancy, and it doesn't need to be. It's authentic, delicious, and makes you feel good from the inside out. It's a 5-star experience, and I'll keep coming back for that warm, comforting bowl of Soon Tofu. And those banchan, of course!“

“muy bueno, se los recomiendo y el personal es muy amable.“

“Old man, restaurant owner, food
It's the kind of food my mom made ^*^
When I feel sick, I eat hot seolleongtang soup and kimchi * After eating sikhye, my body feels happy and healthy.
It reminds me of the food I used to eat when I went to my grandmother's house.
I always submit because I have a lot ^*^
And is it Grandma Shangak?
I'm getting healthier ^*^

The price is cheap too
It's delicious too
The old days when I ate my grandmother’s food
I remember memories and my body feels happy.
Even if the boss eats plum syrup?, he sells it and buys it.

Thinking about Korea
Come out hahahaha“

“As someone who likes korean food this was a place I wanted to go and try. I want to find a restaurant that feels reminiscent of good ol' home style cooking. You know those places that locals go to, that's what I found here. We went for dinner in the middle of the week and were seated right away. We were the only 2 that looked "out of place". Our server greeted us right away and let us know she would be happy to answer any questions we had or would be glad to give a recommendation on what to order. We got a combo of hot stone bibimbap and galbi. I also got us an order of bossam with kimchi. The banchan they served was delicious, my favorite was the cucumber. My only complaint would be that it was too warm inside and I was sweating throughout the whole meal.“

“The food and vibe here are definitely old-skool healthy and delicious japanese food. it's not like all the other ramen restaurants popping up where the ingredients and broth are much heavier whereas at Asa, the masterful simplicity of the broth complimenting the toppings is something to be appreciated. The place is old, and smells a bit like cigarettes but I got used to it pretty quickly (I am very smell sensitive so I almost left but the man who I am guessing is the owner, came over and gave us little chips with our beer and he smiled and giggled a little. I instantly fell in love ❤️). Everything was delicious. Try it out!“

“We went there today for lunch.Omg.. this place is absolute must try!I am born and raised in Korea so I know the difference between just regular Korean restaurants to an authentic home-made restaurant. This place rocks!Just like the taste I remember how my grandma used to make!!I already see so many Korean people here. They must know like I do!!“

“Friendly, great customer service. Food is delicious 😋“

“Fantastic food, great service, and beautiful ambiance! This Vietnamese restaurant offers an unforgettable experience. The staff was so friendly and efficient, making sure we had everything we needed. The pho was absolutely amazing—the broth was so flavorful, and the noodles had the perfect texture. We also had the grilled pork skewers, which were incredibly tender and flavorful. The restaurant itself was beautifully designed, with clean, modern lines and traditional Vietnamese accents that created a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for a delicious and memorable meal!“
