50 Best Soup near Milpitas

“Highly recommend this place. I went here twice in 1 week. Never gone wrong with the broth and meat, especially the ribs. My favorite pho place in Bay Area. It’s very hard to find a good pho place in Bay Area“

“Food can be a bit inconsistent at times, but their service is always good, and they will even remake food for you if the food tastes a bit off - maybe stay away from cold noodles. Their banchan is usually very good - but can be a little off when they are too busy to control their quality. Despite this, I will always come back because they offer great Korean comfort food. 😊 best japchae, galbi ddeokbokki, sulungtang in town.“

“Nice place good serving staff“

“After visiting so many hot pot restaurants, I still prefer this place. They have renovated it again, giving it a unique charm. The service is friendly, the environment is clean, and the quality of the dishes is excellent. I have been here many times. Today is my daughter's birthday, and she asked for hot pot. I brought her here, and she also loves it.“

“Great Rio Grande Club sandwich, service & conversation. Thank you“

“Great food, definitely going back here to eat with my family!!! 🤙🏼 my kids always eat here!“

“Celebrated my friend's birthday here. Initially we were a party of 4 but later some friends decided to give a surprise and joined in.. The staff here was really accommodating and they let us change the table so everyone can sit together and celebrate our friend.
Generous portions and tasty food.“

“It's still good as always, provided me witha basic noodle soup. Some saud it's bland, but to me that's the best part, since I can flavor my own soup the way I like it.

I am curious... The meatball flavor has always been very consistent, but it has been hit-miss the past few months.“

“Not surprisingly for a Bay Area spot that’s been around for 15 years, both the flavor and overall quality are really solid, and the value is genuinely great. This time I got to try several of their new dishes, and honestly they were all surprisingly good. The flavors felt very authentic — not the kind of “new dishes” that were added just for the sake of launching something new, but dishes you can tell were carefully developed. Overall, everything from the taste to the pricing felt really satisfying. It’s the kind of place you quietly remember after the meal and know you’ll come back to. And the owner is genuinely so nice!!!!“

“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!“

“The sides are amazing that is servers while you wait for food. One of my favorite Korean spots to go. We ordered vegetarian Bibimbap, Korean vegetable pancake, vegetarian dumplings ramen and Japchae.
The serving size is huge. pancakes and japchae is highly recommended here. I would definitely go back for it.“

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“A lovely spot for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese food. The dishes are full of flavor and clearly made with care. Portions are just right, and the pricing is more than fair for the quality you get.

The staff are friendly, fast, and attentive, which adds to the overall relaxed and welcoming vibe.

The interior could use some refreshing—the chairs and overall decor feel a bit worn and dated. That said, the experience is still very positive, and the food absolutely makes up for it. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!“

“Pho Lan, a true family-run establishment in Fremont, delivers exactly what matters most in Vietnamese cuisine: spectacular, authentic flavor and generous value. While this isn't the spot for a luxurious, white-tablecloth experience, it is hands down the best place to find truly delicious pho and rice dishes in the area.

The primary reason to visit Pho Lan is the food, and they execute it flawlessly. The flavors here are deeply authentic, showcasing the care and tradition that only a family business dedicated to its craft can provide.

The Pho: The star of the show is, naturally, the pho. The broth is rich, complex, and clean—the hallmark of high-quality pho. It’s clear that the broth simmers for hours, resulting in a depth of flavor that many chain restaurants simply cannot replicate. Whether you choose a classic rare steak or brisket combination, the meat is fresh, and the portion size is substantial.

Beyond the Broth: While the pho is a must-try, the kitchen excels across the board. The rice dishes are equally noteworthy, featuring perfectly cooked meats and well-balanced marinades. If you're looking for Vietnamese food that tastes just like the dishes prepared in a traditional home, Pho Lan delivers.

Pho Lan offers excellent value. The portions are notably generous, ensuring you leave completely satisfied. In an age where many restaurants are shrinking servings, Pho Lan maintains a commitment to great portion size, making it a fantastic choice for lunch or dinner without breaking the bank.

It is important to manage expectations regarding the dining environment and service. As a dedicated, family-run operation, the entire focus is on efficiency and getting excellent food to your table quickly.

Ambiance & Service: This is not a restaurant built on trendy decor or overly solicitous service. The atmosphere is simple, casual, and functional. Service is efficient and straightforward, reflecting the priority of the kitchen over the front of house flair. If the quality of the food is your main metric, you will be thrilled. If you expect a high-end, polished dining experience, you might need to adjust your expectations. Pho Lan is an honest, no-frills location dedicated to its culinary mission.

Pho Lan is a Fremont treasure. It’s the kind of local spot that deserves strong community support because they consistently nail the most important element: the food.

For authentic flavors, generous portions, and truly delicious Vietnamese cuisine—from the masterful pho broth to the flavorful rice plates—Pho Lan is highly recommended. Come support this dedicated family business and enjoy some of the best Vietnamese food Fremont has to offer.

This was long due- will post pictures next time I visit them.“

“Zhangfei Hotpot in Fremont is an absolute gem! I've been searching for authentic, flavorful hotpot in the Bay Area, and this place truly delivers.
We opted for their classic Spicy Mala broth, and it was incredibly aromatic and delicious – perfectly balanced with numbing peppercorns and a rich, spicy kick. It genuinely transported me back to the hotpot experiences I've had in China! The selection of ingredients is fantastic; everything from the tripe and duck intestine to the fresh vegetables was high quality and cooked beautifully in the broth.
The sauce bar is incredibly well-stocked, offering a huge variety of condiments to customize your perfect dipping sauce. You can go classic with sesame oil and garlic, or get creative with their extensive options.
The ambiance is also lovely – a clean and comfortable space with a nice blend of traditional and modern decor, making it great for a casual meal or a gathering with friends.
Value for money is excellent too. Considering the quality of the food and the service, I felt it was very reasonably priced.
Overall, I highly recommend Zhangfei Hotpot to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious hotpot experience in Fremont. You won't be disappointed!

“We decided spontaneously after a visit to the Lick observatory to dine here. All the staff were super professional, friendly and quick. What I really enjoyed was that our waiter made an extra effort to help my parents (their English is a bit basic). The food was on the table in no time and was delicious and hot. I tried the pasta with steak and gorgonzola and didn’t regret it!“

“I’m glad this place exists in Fremont! I really enjoy coming here; the food is great and the service if you dine in is always good. I also order out from here a lot and it’s just as good. Would recommend checking it out if you’re looking for Seolleongtang (or galbitang, in my case)“

“Friendly. Excellent customer service!“

“Love this place. Have loved Dim Sum for many years. Now I have my go to place.“

“Aburi Shime Saba: (5/5)
The aburi shime saba is the best thing on the menu. It’s lightly poached and the caramelized sugar on top adds the perfect contrast of texture and flavor. I’ve been here a few times to try the appetizers, but the MUST GET item is still this saba.

Uzumakiya Udon: (4/5)
The Uzumakiya Udon is good，the noodles are chewy, not overcooked; and the broth is flavorful. The other toppings leave something to be desired, so if you want to be satisfied, order the Oxtail instead. (Although it’s gotten quite expensive😔）“

“There are those rare instances that You feel Thankful about The Dining & The Experience of Dining. B3-Boyz Dhaba takes the prize for that, imho. If you crave Authenticity in Tamil Nadu & Kerala cuisine then You are in that Zone here at this Restaurant. My wife & I came here for lunch on the Happy Occasion of PONGAL. We were warmly greeted by the Hostess Owner & the food was Splendid. The Chef: A Keralite was formerly with Taj Coramandel, Chennai for years & the flavor of the food we savored put that Stamp of Authenticity to the Meal Experience!“

“My family and I just recently went to Sourdough and had a great experience. The staff were very welcoming and very patient with our group. The restaurant itself was very clean. Tables were brand new with cool designs. The atmosphere was also very respectful and peaceful.

Food was also very exceptional for the price. I had the grilled chicken sandwich. The meat was very tender and overall very good. Others in our group that are vegetarian were also very pleased with their meals. The Caprese sandwich and the ttomato bisque with the side of bread were very popular. The cookies though shouldn't be overlooked. They were very soft and delicious. If you come here you have to give the cookies a try.“

“Ox 9 in Cupertino is consistent in quality with all other locations I've tried. I always enjoy the Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles for their noodle texture and broth flavor--incredibly soothing and satisfying. Looking forward to visiting this location more as the weather cools down 🙂‍↕️“

“Great foood. Great service. Will go back. First time visit.“

“Went to lunch here and oh my gosh the soup was absolutely delicious!! Bomb ox tail noodle soup never had pho with that meat before and it is scrumpcious!! Loved it!!! Totally recommend it!!“

“The BEST PHO ever!! 👌🏻 I ordered the pho with ribs and it’s so good and the broth it’s flavorful with a lot of meat which is high in quality! This place is 40 minutes away from me and I need to beg my husband to take me to this place again coz this pho is the best I’ve ever had! The owner of this restaurant are awesome, they really take good care of their customers and employees! ❤️ The place is clean and the service is awesome too 🫶🏼I hope you guys try the pho, rocket shrimp, spicy hue, tofu rolls, and korean bbq short ribs! You won’t regret it!👌🏻“

“Decent beef noodle soup at this Chinese restaurant, specializing in northwestern Chinese cuisine. Surprisingly large menu. Flavorful soup, good noodle texture, and tender meat. However, the stir-fried veggies were a bit under seasoned. Efficient service. Large free parking lot.“

“Highly highly recommend Erik's DeliCafe in Santa Clara on Kiely Blvd. I ordered 15 sandwiches for a family gathering (socially distanced of course!) the day before and Nicho and his crew got every single one right and ready on time for me to pick up for lunch. Everyone was happy with their delicious sandwiches! I will order from them again and I encourage others to do so too, you won't be disappointed! 😀“

“My go-to Thai restaurant! So yummy and such hospitable service 😊😊“

“Wei's Fish has delicious sauerkraut Fish soup at a good price. They have both spicy and non-spicy options. Steamed rice comes included for free when you dine-in. One large fish soup is plenty for a family of 3. It is also kid-friendly with kids meals that have hot dog and spaghetti and they give younger ones a colorful pinwheel souvenir.“

“Who woulda thunk that a Reuben sandwich with eggs could taste amazing! The chowder was fresh tasting and soda fountain was regulated correctly!“

“The best food and service.“

“The brisket is tender and juicy. Our go to comfort food with large portions. I love the open patio dining too.“

“Chi Xiao Guo seems to be gone. Now it’s Liu Yue Teppanyaki Cuisine. They don’t sell hot pot in summer, but the Teppanyaki cuisine is also delicious. It’s very similar to the signature Teppanyaki Noodles at Taiwan’s night markets. Love! Definitely will come again : )“

“Some of the best Pho and appetizers I’ve had and above all courteous and friendly staff!“

“Friendly owner & employees. Clean & quiet“

“So glad they’re open early. It’s a perfect spot for a comforting bowl of pho to start the day. The broth is rich and flavorful; you don’t need to add a thing. I also love the complimentary tea and the full set of condiments — even culantro, which is such a nice touch. Simple, delicious, and done right!“

“It's hard to find excellent Korean food in the South Bay, so when I come across a good restaurant I always have to give praise! Sogongdong Tofu Town piles on the flavor and I never feel like I’m eating bland, Americanized Korean food. If this were LA, I might bump it down a star because the food scene there is so competitive. But many restaurants here can’t even deliver the basic flavors right, so I’m thrilled to discover this place conveniently tucked in an Hmart. The soondubu jjigae (”tofu soup”) here is stellar and as good as any that you’ll find in K-Town LA!“

“A family favorite we keep coming back to! The buffet is always satisfying, and the butter chicken is a standout — our kids love the flavor even though they can't handle spice (extra water helps!). Desserts are delicious, and the complimentary drinks are a lovely touch. The staff's honesty truly shines — I once left my purse behind and didn't notice for three days, yet it was safely returned to me. That kind of integrity says everything about this place. Highly recommend!“

“Highly recommended!!

This was my first time trying Olive Garden, and everything was amazing. I had one of their homemade soups as an appetizer, it was so flavorful. I also ordered the Herb-Grilled Salmon 😋 and it was absolutely delicious, definitely a 10/10. The Chicken Alfredo was really nice as well.

The whole staff was welcoming and polite, especially our server Andy. Thank you for the great experience! 🙏🏽“

“I recently dined at Năm Giao restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by their bánh beo. It was not only delicious but also served piping hot, with the perfect combination of toppings. The crispy pork skin and fried shallots added a delightful crunch that complemented the bánh beo exceptionally well.While the Bún Bò Huế was good, I felt it could benefit from a deeper flavor profile. However, the highlight for me was the chili oil they offer—it was delicious, with a nutty undertone and just the right spice level.I appreciated the variety of options, including a cooling herbal drink, which added a unique touch to the dining experience. The restaurant boasts a spacious layout with plenty of tables, creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere. Overall, Năm Giao offers a delightful culinary journey with standout dishes and a comfortable ambiance.“

“I’m always looking forward to my next meal here! I must say, Pho Dac Biet was my favorite. 😍“

“The staff was very welcoming to our large group & even took photos of our group for us. The food was amazing with lots of choices for everyone.“

“So good! The food was super flavorful and tasted really authentic. Perfect balance of spicy and numbing — exactly what I was craving. The crispy chicken and peppercorn fish were amazing!

Service was friendly and quick, and everyone was really nice. Great spot for Sichuan food — will definitely be back!“

“This is my favorite Chinese restaurant, just discovered within the last few months. My extended family always goes out for Chinese food (we are Chinese) when we get together so we've been to many restaurants in Santa Clara County. Everyone in our big group thought it was very good.“

“Called for a big luncheon I was doing ...they did a wonderful job!! Thanks guys. ...“

“Good food and service. Finally inside seating with 3 tables.“

“Best Erik's I've ever been too. This is my GoTo for work lunches. Same friendly staff every time, fair prices, same high standard of cleanliness, and quick and accurate service. I wish all businesses we're like this Erik's location at The Plant. Great job all the way around!“

“Great place for lunch!! 😋“

“Pho Wagon offers a solid, casual Vietnamese dining option. I ordered their most popular dish—the chicken pho—which was clean and comforting, but surprisingly mild in flavor. I even added a side of vegetable broth and still found myself reaching for the Sriracha to give it that extra kick.

The shrimp spring rolls were a highlight—fresh, light, and paired beautifully with their rich peanut sauce. I also tried the chicken fried rice, which was decent but not particularly memorable.

Overall, it’s a reliable spot if you’re in the mood for something light and simple. I’d dine here again, but it wouldn’t be my go-to for pho cravings.“
