50 Best Soup in Los Angeles

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“I was traveling and wanted to get some soon tofu and this place was excellent.

Coming from Utah, where Korean cuisine has gotten ridiculously expensive for the mid-tier quality, this place was amazing and reasonably priced (though I'm not sure how it compares to the rest of LA).

I thought the service was great too and will be back.“

“Delicious FOOD. Had the 1/2 chicken with white rice and Peruvian beans. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The chicken was so moist and soft . As well as the Maracuya drink it was delicious and refreshing. Staff !! So attentive and nice. Will be coming back . ☺️“

“Came w three and ordered one serving of bulgogi beef and shared 2 orders of the cold noodle dongcheeme . Bulgogi was flavorful and juicy on the kbbq grill , side dishes were really good , the green onion salad was fresh, and the cold noodles broth was so refreshing on a hot la day. Service was decent . I will come back here just for the bulgogi (very generous portion) and the noodle soup“

“The Calbi Jim here is top notch!“

“If you're in Koreatown and craving a comforting bowl of Korean soup, Hanbat Shul Lung Tang is a great choice. They specialize in sullungtang, a milky-white bone broth with options for different cuts of beef. The broth is known for being clean-tasting and high-quality, and the restaurant is praised for its friendly atmosphere and all-you-can-eat kimchi. Just be aware that the menu is limited and they mostly focus on their specialty soup.

Parking: Parking behind the shop through an alley way.“

“Hands down, the best Korean food I have had in LA Korea town!! It's a shame I came here on my last day! If I had known this restaurant earlier, I would have come here for every meal, every day! Love, love love it! AMAZING food for AWESOME price, AUTHENTIC ?
Please make sure there is no one here who hasn’t tried Cheonggukjang! It's really delicious ?“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“Been going here since before the Pandemic and it's always great! However, today they asked us to see our Vax Cards and Id's, that was a little uncomfortable. If I was the owner, I'd loosen up on that and not do what you're told. It's your business and it's on its last legs. It was much better when YOU called the shots and not the Government. Otherwise foods usually good and authentic.“

“Myeongdong Gyoza offers delicious kalguksu and dumplings.
This summer, I decided on soybean noodles.
I ate it and sprinkled some sesame seeds on top.

When I ate it before, the bean soup was not well ground, so it was rough and difficult to swallow, but now it is smooth and well ground, so it is easy to eat.

Please note that you can also park at the building across the street instead of at Street Parking. If you validate, it costs $2.“

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

“Delicious food! The shrimp fried rice, the potstickers and the spring rolls were amazing! We will become regulars..“

“Tl;Dr: Kid friendly and delicious food (kid approved!). This may be our new spot now - jinsol is good but we've gone too many times and it feels a bit too heavy (we always feel thirsty/bloated after eating there). The combination of naengmyeon + gukbap here helps cut the heaviness.

Waiter was sooooo nice to our toddler. He brought out flashing toys and a hand fan for him and gave us an extra white rice on the house since we said he would eat that over purple (he recommended the purple rice for us). Our son ate so much of the galbi tang with cabbage. We enjoyed it a lot too, but maybe we enjoyed it even more because he ate so well. The naengmyeon was also delicious. Overall a great experience. we will definitely be back.“

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

“Cozy, homemade, authentic, delicious food at a super affordable price? workers are so friendly and welcoming. Cant wait to go back!

Vegetarian options: The cold bean noodle soup is vegetarian and there are many options you can asks them to exclude meat from“

“This is real Mongolian restaurant!!! Good job our meal was amazing. This is what real Mongolian meal is for Mongolians and others, not like Chinese food made for Americans named Mongolian or great khan whatever. If you want to try real authentic Mongolian meal here it is and it’s worth it. Thank you for delicious dishes!!!“

“Homey spot for authentic Korean oxbone soup. It’s located in a plaza with free parking (a plus in KTown) and the workers were all sweet Korean ladies. Came in a group of three and we all got the number one. Note that the difference between one and two is that two includes intestines, whereas one is strictly the meat. The soup comes out piping hot with noodles and meat, and then you can add as much salt, pepper, and green onions you’d like. They give you two banchan - the kimchi was really high quality and tasty. The broth was very rich and you can tell that it’s been simmering for a while. Credit cards are accepted. Indoor dining only.“

“This cozy spot was just what my family needed! We enjoyed all the sharable side dishes, salad, rice, and 2 orders of beef bulgogi was so delicious to share amongst 3 adults. Our three year old niece enjoyed the hot noodle soup : )

We are definitely coming back soon!

Valet parking is $4. But there is neighborhood street parking & metered parking.

Kid-friendliness: Our 3 year old niece enjoyed the hot noodle soup : )“

“Excellent food, as always, but in our last two visits, the cochinita tacos were served on cold tortillas. Had to return them to be heated...

Had to walk twice to the counter to get refills of our Maya coffees... ...unusual. Usually, they refill your coffee at your table while eating...

The cochinita plate, the trio yucateco and the coffee were delicious. Best in many many miles around.“

“Delicious! Hits the spot for comfort food.

It was only 2 of us so we couldn’t order the bigger dishes that they are famous for. So we are definitely interested of going back with a bigger party.

The soups are delicious with lots of meat!“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“I was looking for a quick lunch while I was out walking my dogs. I was craving Thai food and stumbled upon this place with a few small tables outside. The staff were really friendly and even brought water out for the pets. The menu is extensive and I appreciated the photos of each dish because it helped me order new items I haven’t tried. The food came out quickly and was really good. I recommend!

“Traditional, Quality, & NEVER Disappoints! Always satisfied with the food (chicken noodle soup, crab marinade, and dumplings).

“The short: known for their bossam. Hidden gem for their cold noodles and (for the adventurous) stinky fermented soy bean paste soup! Expect curt but diligent service designed for Koreans not American style customer service

As a kid this was my favorite place for bossam. My friends and family all still love it so would highly recommend.

As a vegetarian now, would highly recommend their 절반 국수 (jangban guksu aka cold noodles) and 청국장 (cheonguk jjang aka fermented soybean paste soup). Today was my first time back since being a kid and it's my new fave.

Noodle dish is refreshing with lots of fresh veggies mixed with a spicy + soy sauce. If you like bibimguksu it's in that lane of freshing noodles but much less spicy.

The cheonguk jjang is an acquired taste and not for everyone. If you like stinky, fermented soy beans that are super healthy with probiotics for your gut plus delicious like Japanese natto you will love this like I do.

Service is average like Korean restaurants. They are to the point and don't mess around with niceties or coming to check on you. Push your button and they promptly arrive to bring whatever you need. Some love this kind of service. Others find it rude. Just set expectations.“

“Fast service, nice and unique“

“The restaurant that showed us that samgyetang can be rich.
Various medicinal ingredients seem to contribute to the rich Korean soup. If you eat oriental medicine samgyetang when you have a cold, it seems to be good for replenishing your energy. Wouldn't the king of old have samgyetang like this when he caught a cold?
Anyway, if you have a cold, make sure to catch it~“

“It's been a while since I posted it and ate it. It turned out like garlic bossam and green onion bossam.
You~~~~ I enjoyed eating the radish. It was so delicious because I wrapped it with the ssam (ssam) you gave me and the perilla leaves and jalapenos I had at home.^^
It was the happiest lunch I've had in a long time. I was impressed haha. Isn't garlic bossam the only flavor you get at Mr. Bossam? I haven't seen it anywhere else yet. I recommend it.

I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture haha.“

“This place is my favorite late night spot in la. I come here every time I get out of work late and everything I’ve tried on their menu is so delicious. Sometimes I spend the entire day thinking “what am I gonna get at suehiro mini tonight?”“

“I love the food it's a great place ! costumer care it's super !!“

“So delicious and fresh. I could eat here everyday! Ordered with Uber eats when visiting for a conference. Soupchu became my go to meal for my trip and felt healthy and satisfied hitting all the foodie spots. Chicken soup and stuffed eggplant was the best I’ve had in a long time!“

“First review - absolute gem of a restaurant.
Clean, luminous, good service but especially fresh and delicious food.
Pho is made with love, and you can taste its heartiness. Special Banh Mi is delicious, fresh baguette bread, freshly pickled vegetables and deliciously marinated meats.
Even the teas are a delight!

A true diamond in the rough. I recommend to anyone that enjoys good Vietnamese food. Cheers“

“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!“

“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“

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

“It's a perfect place. The staff are very friendly and very attentive. They take care of whatever you want. I love their food and soups. Especially Beyran soup and spicy kebab are my favourites. Tzatziki is also excellent. The prices are not too high. I am cheerful and happy with it. Good luck :)“

“This is the best value for money house. I highly recommend this to those who like ripe kimchi.
The portions are plentiful and the owner is generous. I went there early this morning, and it was a pity that it was closed because I went right at the opening time.
Please note that the name of the restaurant has been changed to ‘Kisa Restaurant’.“

“Smallish servings (comparing normal sizes in US), but delicious.
Very Spicy was on point and is ? (from a seasoned Thai curry eater).
Didn't include cutlery on our order which made it difficult.
They did add a free White Rice with the order.“

“tacos vergas los tavos vergas“

“fresh and authentic. Best broth in town that is not overwhelmed with msg like other places.“

“This place is authentic. But this is not your average Korean restaurant. This places is for the adventurous: the daredevils who enjoy organ meat.

I got the soondae mix platter for $40 (so it's far from $22.99 shown on the menu here in Google). My friend paid ? But nowadays we are all paying the price for the covid-flation. So I want to focus more on food.

The amount and quality of food is great for the price. I can't say that there aren't better deals in K-town. But I won't go wrong here ??

I won't recommend this place to vegetarians.“

“The food is very good they have excellent service and customer service I really like to eat here since they cook according to the order that one makes everything is delicious I recommend that you come to eat here at the restaurant all the dishes they have are very delicious and exquisite???“

“After reading the reviews, I tasted spicy seolleongtang lean meat,
When I skimmed off the red pepper oil that was floating around, the soup had a mild flavor and was excellent. The meat was thin and fatty like shabu, so I deducted one star. Since no seasoning was added, I didn't feel thirsty after the meal and the service was very good.

The broiler paste has just the right amount of ingredients and the broth is clean and well seasoned and delicious.

Spicy and spicy seolleongtang is almost a combination of “intestines” and some shabu meat.“

“is very good in the best restaurant it made me feel like I was at my own kitchen“

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

“My Taiwanese friends said they wanted to eat crab, so I went with them. The crab was delicious and I was very impressed with the crab stew. The server was so kind that I was even more impressed. Next time I come to LA, I will definitely visit again!“

“I have been a regular customer of this restaurant for 3 years, eating only kimchi sujebi.
I'm posting this because I saw the malicious comments and felt like they were ignoring my favorite restaurant, Kimchi Sujebi.
I eat this soft sujebi in a rich soup because it's refreshing on the inside, and it's the best kimchi sujebi I've had in LA.“

“This place unexpectedly exceeded my expectations! The service is outstandingly good: friendly, attentive, and fast. The restaurant was full of people at lunch. The food is super delicious! The pork bone are perfectly cooked, and the rich broth is full of flavors. The fish tofu soup was very good too. Everything feels so homemade. The fire pot menu in general is amazing! Totally recommend!“

“Don't miss out on this little gem! Prices amazing and servings are generous! Definitely family owned and the sweetest lady is the server here, shes attentive and so friendly.
We ordered Drunken Noodles, Red Curry and Pad Thai and they were AMAZING. All very reasonably priced. This is a no frills cafe like setting but don't let the vibe throw you off, food is prepared very quickly, served with love and a smile and it hits!!!“

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