50 Best Soup near Monrovia

“Food's always worth the stop“

“This place has great Sichuan food! It has so many varieties of food to try and are all very good! We got the chongqing cold noodles that were very flavorful and numby! The favorite was the mapotofu that had very soft silky tofu with minced pork and a sauce you can smother rice with. We also got the local flavor lamb that had tons of veggies along with the soft tender lamb meat. The sweet and sour pork was crispy and delicious and the sliced potatoes with vinegar was very refreshing and had a nice soft crunch to it.

The staff were very nice and attentive and the place is very very popular and busy. The atmosphere is just like any mom n pop Chinese restaurant.

I've been here in the past and have enjoyed other dishes like the twice cooked pork, various dumplings, wonton in chili oil, dan dan noodles, cumin lamb/mutton & sliced beef & ox offal! The portions are always huge and sharable and great value!“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“My Chinese buddies took me out to eat here and it was spectacular. Every dish was amazing, from the vegetable dishes to the dumplings to the side dishes. I don't frequently go out toward the Rosemead or San Gabriel Valley area, but starting to think I should. The interior is clean and very modern. They're also known for their special tea drinks, which was also delicious. My wife really enjoyed their smashed lemon tea drink. Service was very fast with no frills whatsoever. They really do mean business here, and in a good way! I heard that this place can get quite packed on the weekends, but we went on a week night with minimal wait times. Would recommend this place highly if you're in town and just want something solid at a very good price.“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“Tried Vege Valley Restaurant recently and honestly it was a good surprise. I’m not even strictly vegetarian but the food was really flavorful and fresh. Ordered noodles and a veggie dish both were well cooked and not too oily, which I liked.
The place is simple perfect for a relaxed meal. Service was quick and staff were polite. Pricing also feels reasonable for the portion size.
Only small issue was parking, took a bit of time to find a spot. But overall definitely worth visiting if you want healthy and tasty veg food.“

“Came here for lunch and got their lunch special cold udon + mini (beef) curry rice set.

Starting off with the curry. It was very tasty and flavorful, rice was cooked well. The beef was also very tender and juicy. However, I wish the flavor of the curry permeated more into the beef as the beef tasted a little underseasoned.

I love cold noodles on a hot day, and I tend to prefer my noodles a little softer. The cold udon was served at the perfect temperature, but texture wise was a little on the al dente side. It was chewy but bordering a little too chewy/ hard. I wish it was cooked for 30-60s longer! Other than that, flavor of he broth was good.

The lunch set was a good amount of food and I left feeling full (couldnt finish my rice as it was too much carbs). Service is good and the restaurant was not too crowded when I was there. Would love to come back again to support a local restaurant and try out other stuff on their menu!“

“Great experience and reasonable price“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“We enjoyed the food so much! And the portions are so generous. Everything was absolutely great, waiters are super nice and fast. Popcorn chicken was great, the beef rolls are spectacular and the mango drink is very generous and yummy. I really only have good words, this is easily the best Taiwanese restaurant in the area :)“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“😃I like the way they cook all family members working real Thai Food cook by Thai people“

“I’m back at this xiao long bao spot in Baldwin Park again! The restaurant has that super down-to-earth, old-school Chinese restaurant feel that instantly feels familiar. The main point is — they’ve been making xiao long bao in LA for years, and everything is still handmade by the aunties, not pre-made. If you want a giant crab roe soup dumpling, this is the place I think of!

The giant crab roe soup dumpling comes out steaming hot and is seriously huge — it almost fills the whole steamer 🤣. I like to slowly sip the soup through a straw first, then open it up and eat the rest. The crab roe flavor is rich and fragrant, and it’s so satisfying while it’s still hot. Even editing the video made me crave it again!

We also ordered crab roe xiao long bao and sweet-style pork xiao long bao. The wrappers are thin and there’s plenty of soup inside. The slightly sweet pork filling feels very Jiangnan-style, and I personally really like that little touch of sweetness.

The Wuxi-style pork ribs looked so appetizing too — tender meat with a sweet, savory sauce that goes perfectly with rice. The Liangxi crispy eel was another specialty I really liked. It’s crispy, fragrant, and super snackable — not something you see at every restaurant.

For something warm and comforting, we also had a bowl of five-spice beef rice noodles, with your choice of spicy or non-spicy, plus a plate of garlic pea shoots to round out the meal.

I also noticed they have these cute little training chopsticks 🥢, which are perfect for kids or anyone who’s still learning how to use chopsticks. Such a thoughtful touch haha.

Whenever I suddenly crave crab roe in LA, this is honestly one of the first places that comes to mind 🥹“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“Literally the warmest, kindest service I have EVER had. Unreal. And the food is soooo fresh and delicious. And we are serious food snobs, so we mean it. Come here immediately and feel the love!“

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味“

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour“

“I enjoyed this place a lot. It was a little bit hard to find at first, as it is located above the supermarket. The server was very friendly, helping me to find a good vegetarian option. The cold sesame noodles were tasty and refreshing, and the price is not bad ($8.99). The dining area is spacious and comfortable.“

“I try many broth and this is the Best broth I ever had“

“Jin Hai / Beijing Pie House has gotten better over the years. The lamb and leeek meat pies arrived nice and crispy with ample soup inside. The lamb flavor was subtle and clean with a satisfying smattering of yellow leek.

The three ingredient dumplings (leek, pork, shrimp) were supple and balanced. The thick looking wrappers were deceptively supple with a bit of bite and flavor of the fillings sang a song of freshness.

Glad we came back and will put this back in our rotation.“

“The dumplings are so good!!“

“Haven't heard of this place before and came to try with friends on a Friday evening. There was no wait and they have plenty of tables inside and a small outdoor patio as well.

We ordered the oxtail pho, Charbroiled beef tiny vermicelli, Charbroiled pork rice plate with steamed egg and pork skin, and pan fried rice crepe with pork and shrimp. Food was served pretty fast and employees were friendly.

The pho portion was really big with generous amount of noodles that we couldn't finish. The broth tasted good and flavorful. The tiny vermicelli was great, tasted like other Viet places I have been too and the egg rolls were really gooe. The pan fried rice crepe was also great. It was my first time trying this dish but it tasted good with the crepe, pork, and rice together. The rice plate was disappointing though since the steamed egg was a bit dry and not very flavorful so it did not taste good. The charbroiled pork was also dry and small portion compared to how much of the pork skin they gave. The pork skin also was so chewy and not good as well. I tasted better broken rice so wouldn't recommend ordering it from here.

Overall, this tasted like an authentic Vietnamese place for pho and other specialties. I would not recommend the broken rice plates here though.“

“Their Tan Tan Men Ramen are the best! I love how I have the opportunity to customize our ground meat choices (I.e. ground pork or ground chicken). Topped with nori, baby bok choy, bean sprouts, hard-boiled egg, and ground meat, the ramen have the perfect flavor. Their chicken karaage were the best too!“

“I ordered the pho soup and man I would this is the best pho I’ve had in America. Not gonna lie, the thai tea is amazing and that boba too.“

“Awesome Chinese food here!! Tasty, fresh, and good ingredients. They are also very quick! Highly recommend the Mongolian Beef, Kung Pao Prawns, Spicy Eggplant, Dumplings!

Service is quick, personable, and warm. Very nice interior; elevated from the neighboring stores/restaurants.

Some street parking out front.

Lots of take out orders from this location.“

“I had the number 11, tofu vegetable soup! We were able to make it vegan by making the base water based. He also let me know the only non vegan side was the kimchi as it had fish sauce. I appreciated their knowledge on the ingredients! So delicious“

“The food was clean but delicious, so surprisingly. I had the beef gyudon with veggies. The broth was very flavorful and the beef tender. We also had the linguine frutti de mare. It was decent. The organic Hainan chicken was also good. And the beef sukiyaki was very flavorful. I really enjoyed the grilled veggies. The mixed fried appetizer was just OK. I also liked the passion fruit I've tea. Yum!“

“everything made to order! i don’t mind waiting 15 min to get something absolutely delicious!!!

i recommend the meat pan fried pancakes the most :-)) everything is so affordable n homemade idk how they stay in business. i think their steam bao is okay tbh. beef noodle soup very good just add some chili oil makes it much better.

soy milk is very smooth and the millet porridge very homey. I will definitely come back and bring more friends!!“

“Esta muy sabrosa comida me encanto se las recomiendo k ballan y prueven esta deliciosa comida“

“When I first arrived to this restaurant, I didn’t see any other diners and was quite hesitant. But soon enough they proved my ‘pre-thoughts’ wrong.
Definitely one of the best Vietnamese home cooked meals at a restaurant in the area. The flavour is so authentic that can transport you back to the Southern of Vietnam (mien Tay) in a bite. We ordered the lunch set for family and cannot fault a thing. It came with canh chua, ca chien, goi tom thit, ca kho, bap cai chua. Flavour was mouth watering and all very good value for money. This is such a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“El personal super amable , las pupusas y el atol de elote delicioso !! Hemos ido varias veces y siempre son tan serviciales !! Muchas gracias 😊“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“I been coming here for a year now happy to see dine in is open again, amazing beef noodle soup and I yummy fruit tea. Very worth the price and family own business that has amazing customer service 10/10“

“Red Chicken Thai is a small corner Thai food spot in San Gabriel Valley. They have a breadth of food and drink items. Its interior was modest with little to no aesthetic decor.

However, the atmosphere was relaxing for customers. Their dining area have 8 tables that can accommodate thirty people. It was my first time visit and I had a default Pad Woon Sen x Iced Lemon tea. Both are good in taste, flavor and portion. Service was spot on as well as the price (affordable). Staff was competent and attentive. Plenty of street and rear parking. Collectively, this is a good Thai spot.

Overall, I had a good experience and enjoyed their food.“

“The chicken curry with baguette was so flavorful rich, creamy, and comforting! Love that everything here tastes homemade.“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“Not salty, good HK food to bring parents to and hang out to catch up. Their desserts...warm ginger 🫚 milk, double milk pudding is real good. tofu W/ginger is silky.
Squab Claypot rice also good.
Chicken mushroom Claypot was good we came back twice in a week!“

“The clay pots were tasty and of good size. The clay pots we had with boneless chicken/Chinese sausage and beef stew/minced pork were well seasoned. Glad to have the special traditional Chinese soup for $5 additional with the clay pots. Will definitely return.“

“Great food, I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. Recommend“

“Good food , good place, good price 。“

“Owner is really nice and chill. I love her energy and warming welcome greeting. It’s self service for the proteins and veggies as well as sauce. Customers were enjoying their food and so were we. It’s my first time here since I’m not from California. I wish Massachusetts could have a place this good too. Wish I could come here more often!“

“Excellent food! I ordered pho to-go and everything was perfect. The broth had amazing flavor, was rich and piping hot, and all the ingredients were super fresh. Everything was packaged really well for takeout. I will definitely be ordering again. Highly recommended!“

“I really enjoyed the BBQ meats at Auntie’s Kitchen in San Gabriel. The BBQ pork, roast pork, and roast duck were all delicious, and each one had its own standout flavor and texture.

The roast pork was especially good—the skin was really crispy and crunchy, while the meat inside stayed juicy and tender. The roast duck was also excellent, with a wonderful aroma and rich, savory flavor. The meat was juicy, tender, and very flavorful.

The restaurant itself is a bit small, but it feels cozy and comfortable. Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re craving flavorful Chinese BBQ meats. I’d definitely come back for the roast pork and roast duck!“

“Hangang in Temple City is a great spot if you’re craving Korean food! 🇰🇷 The inside has a very traditional Korean aesthetic that gives the restaurant such a cozy and authentic feel.

They have really good deals on their combo sets, especially for the amount of food you get. The portions are generous, everything was filling, and we definitely left satisfied!

But the cold noodles were the standout for me! 🍜 This is officially my new favorite spot for Korean cold noodles. So refreshing, flavorful, and definitely something I’ll be coming back for.

If you’re looking for Korean food with a traditional atmosphere, good portions, and great value, Hangang is definitely worth checking out!“

“I think the most popular and best this year is the pho with a beef rib. Otherwise I would say everything else is pretty much what you would expect from a solid Vietnamese restaurant. Quality of the food is fresh and good but I wouldn't say it stands out from other places in the area. I've had their bun which was very good, and their pho, which was also quite good. I don't think anyone will be disappointed with the quality of service and food here though I think there are some other spots that stand out more.“

“非常道地的美食，口味適中。老闆娘及服務生都很親切。“

“Excelente comida!!! Muy rico mi tapado gracias! También el aguas de maracuya me gusto mucho“

“I was trying to take the godfather to the Vietnam kitchen down the street but they were closing up at 8:00 (!) and they told us that we could only get to go. Well. We wanted to talk and eat at a table. So we had both noticed this place on the way to VK . A very low-key restaurant with some high-grade beef noodle soup. Very tasty and there's a whole homemade feeling about the place which is very charming to me. A solid cucumber appetizer, the Szechuan vegetables were weirdly a little bland, or at least not as spicy or a sour as I was expecting. However, the Price is Right, the service is outstanding with it being what feels like a true mom-and-pop joint ( Bobby is the chef, and I suspect he's the pop, and looks much younger than his age), and I really like the fact that the menu was very simple. Even so I was tempted by other things on the menu, including the chicken curry, but they were out of chicken so I'll have to come back for that. Still I went with a specialty and I've been going to a lot of beef noodle soup places so I feel pretty strongly to judge that the broth was excellent. The vegetables were fresh and the meat was very good, if not as much as I wanted there to be. Overall the experience was outstanding and they were extremely hospitable, especially when we paid at 845 and I asked if they closed at 9:00 and they told us. They had closed 45 minutes earlier yet had hung around and gave no indication that we were to do anything, but enjoy our food. Very genteel and civilized. Thank you!“

“That was quite a delightful gritty food spot.

#12 Beef stew - the beef stew soup is quite rich in texture. You’ll be so full with 1 serving.

#26 Fujian Shrimp and Pork dry noodle was also quite excellent !“
