50 Best Soup in Los Angeles

“One of those rare spots. The broth is rich, clean, and deeply comforting with being heavy, and the flavors taste honest and balanced. Service is good, and the atmosphere is simple but welcoming, making it perfect for both a casual solo meal or sharing with friends. It's the kind of place you keep coming back because the food is consistent and hits the spot.“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“Yuppp. This was a nice surprise. Like a family owned hole in the wall. Almost don’t want to review it and keep it to myself. Had the mushroom soup and vegetable only friend glass noodle. Literally the best flavor and the perfect amount for 2. Service was prompt and price was RIGHT! They do have some pairing out back and the area is not too congested.“

“Even in these challenging times, the fact that Gil Mok Korean Restaurant is still thriving is a blessing for anyone living in the LA area.Ask anyone, and they will tell you that the Dongchimi Noodles ($dongchimi guksu$) at Gil Mok are unforgettable—I'm salivating just writing about them!Feeling overwhelmed or stressed? Go to Gil Mok, have a piece of their delicious meat, and chase it with a bowl of those perfect Dongchimi Noodles. Every single one of your worries will be washed away.“

“A 4 in one location! Loved the variety of the different type of foods! The soups were delicious, the smash burger smelled good(didn’t taste it was for my young son) which he said was good, the arugula salad so tasty and the pink power salad was indescribable(that good) definitely coming back again. The young lady who took our order was so kind too!“

“The aunties here are so friendly and cute and the vibe of the restaurant is cozy and homey 🩷 All of the food came out very quick. The banchan was so delicious and the bibimbap was the best I’ve ever tasted 🤭 the serving size was large and I felt very satisified and full after. I would definitely come here for authentic and yummy Korean food! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“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!“

“Sooooo good!!! I had my reservations as I love Thai food and it’s hard to find Thai food as good as what you have in Thailand, but this place is it!! I don’t know where to start because everything was so good!! We had the pork jerky, prad ka prow with chicken & egg, phat see ew flat noodle, fried tofu, and the noodle soup- with egg noodle. The broth was delicious, the flavors very layered without being overwhelming, the ambience is very welcoming. As a family, we definitely would come back again. Next time, I’ll try the curry ❤️😌“

“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 ❤️“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“The stars aligned. We were overjoyed to find a BOB vegan restaurant, inspired by grandcestor Dr. Sebi's alkaline nutritional guide. Highly recommend Beyond Vegan - Culver City. The food was flavorful. My friend ordered the namesake quesadillas, and I ordered the jackfruit tacos with mango salsa. Double the flavor - we shared our meals. Yum! The portions were large, filling, and pleased my soul. What I thought to be a side of mashed sweet potatoes was warm, smooth mashed beans. Tacos and quesadillas on point. Purple wild rice was a delightful surprise. Diversity in texture, flavor, colors, and quality ingredients. No better way to catch up with a friend than eating outdoors at Beyond Vegan!“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“Came in for the first time a few years ago because I was interested in the "twice-fried noodles" (tsuivan)... was instantly hooked. Everything here is just produced with so much attention to detail and served with such charisma. Highly recommend, also try the salted milk tea 😁😁“

“We always try to get there before the line shows up, 5:30ish. Sneak in, split the combo between two people and really dig into the various sides (fish skin, kimchi, broccoli, etc.) that come up with the soup and entree.

Staff is always on point and delightful“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“The attention from servers is great it feels like if you are at someone's home with very nice grandmas caring for you. We ordered the Sogogi Suyug plater (beef), and the Ujok Suyug plater (tendon) we also ordered the Galbi Tang soup and the Sukkur Sullung Tang soup. Both have beef but the soup base is different one is more fatty rich and the other one is more light and clear but both flavorful and different noodles. Rice comes with your meal along with Kim chi and other sides. The space is small and you may have to wait to be seated. We were lucky to avoid the lunch time crowd. Price was good for what we got.“

“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!“

“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.“

“OMG I loved the experience. Heaven bless this sweet, nostalgic restaurant. The Korean lady who served me was very friendly and caring, the atmosphere reminded me of family. I tried their breakfast with seaweed soup and the food was delicious. The side dishes are homemade and have many varieties. 100% recommend 💖“

“The place to go for delicious pork kbbq! I highly recommend the thick pork belly, marinated pork ribs, and the corn cheese. The pork marinade was flavorful and not as sweet as other kbbq places. They give a nice variety of side dishes which were really good with the pork belly.

The service was also top notch. Very attentive and friendly.“

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

“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“

“Suehiro Mini review:

Suehiro Mini is a cozy, casual spot known for its authentic Japanese cuisine, especially sushi and ramen. The flavors are fresh and well-balanced, with generous portions. The staff is friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming vibe. It’s a great choice for a quick, satisfying meal with quality ingredients. Prices are reasonable, making it popular among locals and visitors alike.

If you want details on a particular dish or experience, let me know!“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Me encanto este lugar todo muy rico y muy atentos buen servicio“

“Tina, the owner, is an amazing person and great Thai chef. I dined in her cozy restaurant and we had a great conversation. I absolutely loved my Penang chicken curry over rice! It’s next to a famous boxing gym - all her favorite champions come by to eat after their workout. BYOB from the market next door“

“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!“

“I recently visited Kobawoo House, a Korean restaurant in Koreatown, with some friends, and we had a fantastic time! We ordered a spread of dishes to share: bossam, kimchi jjigae, gamjajeon, and haemul pajeon. The bossam was tender and perfectly paired with the fresh wraps and sauces, while the kimchi jjigae had a rich, spicy kick that hit all the right spots. The gamjajeon (potato pancake) was crispy and comforting, and the haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) was loaded with fresh seafood and had that perfect chewy-crisp texture. Everything was flavorful, authentic, and great for sharing. The vibe was cozy, the service was friendly, and we left stuffed and happy. Definitely recommend Kobawoo House for a solid Korean meal in K-town!“

“Best samgyetang (chicken soup with sticky rice) of all time. I love and worship this place and hope it never goes away. As a korean, i love the hanbang so i can get the medicinal benefits as well as that soothing nostalgia of chicken soup. The owners are such beautiful, kind humans and the guy always has rainbows coming out of his eyes. I love the tea they serve before meals, i love the soup, the service. Love buil samgyetang!“

“A must. So delicious. Can't wait to go back!! Thank goodness for friends that share food stories. �“

“조미료가 전혀 들어가지 않은 깔끔하고 맛있고 풍성한 음식은 한 사람 한 사람의 건강을 우선하는 주인의 따뜻한 마음까지 합하여 최고의 레스토랑으로 추천합니다!!!“

“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“

“This was one of my childhood go to spots from when I used to live in L.A. It has been about eight years since I last came, and even though I do not fully remember the exact taste, I just remember really liking the food. Coming back while visiting did not disappoint at all.
Thank you to the lady who works here for taking our photo. She even told me to post it, which made me laugh.
I ate two pans, and yes, the servers can seem a little curt at times, but if you are a local or someone who has been coming for years, you understand that it is just part of the place. The food may not be super extravagant, but you can feel the sincerity in it.“

“Found this place on Google while spending a night in LA near the airport 🛫. The place looks rough as heck, but don't be fooled. The food is incredible. Close to, if not the best sushi I ever ate. I get sushi everytime I travel to different places, so I have tried a fair bit. The place is self serve you set the table yourself and everything else. The fish was extremely fresh and the chef is an expert. He prepares the sushi 🍣 right out in the open so no secrets. The rolls are big and filling. I would highly recommend this place if you are around LAX and want sushi. They also do take out and door dash services. Thanks to chef!“

“Awesome place to eat Ramen“

“Chicken wrap was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. Came hot, with plenty of veggies and meat. Chicken was flavorful and moist. Perfect thin wrap so it didn’t overwhelm the main ingredients. And the pink dipping sauce was a great-tasting complement as well.“

“Came here on a whim with my husband, and I was not only surprised by how wonderful the atmosphere was. The food was delicious and got out quickly, the price was also very surprising. I will becoming back here, it's definitely a cozy spot for brunch! Especially with the staff being so nice and attentive, can't say enough good things about it!“

“the food is really good.and the service is very good. love it.“

“Their Gukbap is superb felt like it was different version of gukbap more spicy and different broth compared to a traditional pork based creamy broth

My friend had their cold noodles and said it was lowkey mid so not sure what’s going on there… so eat the gukbap instead. Their Jeon is great and Mandoo is great too“

“I have been eating at this restaurant for the last 5 years and I absolutely love the yellow chicken curry. It's actually the only thing I've ever gotten and I've gotten it over 60 times. I just tried the pad Thai chicken noodles last night for the first time and although it tasted really great, I noticed my heart was racing a little bit after I ate it which only happens when I consume MSG. I seem to be the only one in my family that is sensitive to MSG, but I definitely feel it. There's been many studies about how MSG is not very healthy for most people so I'm leaving this comment in hopes that pad Thai on Beverly follows what many other restaurants are doing and removes MSG as an ingredient in certain dishes. Luckily, they do not use MSG in the yellow chicken curry. Again, this is a really amazing restaurant.“

“One of my regulars, when it comes to spicy sundaeguk, this is definitely the place.
I've been going to this place since it was in front of Kim's Electric, on Olympic Road.
I go to this place when I go to Vegas, and I go to this place when I go to San Diego.
It's one of my favorite restaurants.
Tip: To-Jong Sun-Dae is tastier than just the regular Sun-Dae.“

“tacos vergas los tavos vergas“

“Food was amazing!!!! My partner and I ordered the short rib soup and the spicy beef with vegetable soup. We inhaled everything including the sides, soju, and beers.

A definite recommendation for a meal to feed your soul.

A must try for all who are curious.“

“The best marinated crab I’ve had in the States - both spicy and soy sauce. They ship the crabs from Korea! The staff are so kind, personable, and attentive. I can’t wait to come back and to bring my family and friends. 너무 맛있게 먹었어요~“

“This place is known for their galbi jjeem and I should have tried it. But (a) the portions are huuuge, as in for more than 1 person, maybe up to 4 people, and (b) at $100 it is expensive. I should return with a large group so we can order and share it. There is an option for cheese which the waiter will use a torch at the table to melt and toast it. I've never had galbi jjeem with cheese. Maybe it tastes like a cheeseburger? I'd be willing to try is there was an option to have it on the side, vs fully committing by covering everything with it.

So for this visit I had the sollung tang with tendon. It hit the spot, very creamy and flavorful, and the tendon was soft & tender. I would definitely return for this alone.“
