50 Best Soup near Monterey Park

“The food was good, but I wasn’t comfortable with the way the server handled the bowls and plates. I saw hisi hands touch the money, computer surface, and the dirty table. Wearing gloves made me uncomfortable, especially when the server’s fingers touched the inside of the bowl. Other than that, the food was great.“

“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.“

“They were not joking when they called this comfort food. I was sick, and it was raining, so I wanted something warm and hearty. This place seemed like the obvious choice, and far exceeded my expectations. Food came out fast and blistering hot, but still perfect temperature to eat right away. It was somehow nostalgic, even though it was my first time trying this dish. The tofu was extremely soft, but held its shape well, and very flavorful from absorbing the liquid. It really felt like it cured by illness.

Portion size was also very generous, which is always important. The menu was also pretty varied, I could imagine coming back multiple times and trying something new each time.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“It is great for family gatherings, a traditional recipes of cantonese Chinese food, workers are friendly, great service, we came for family’s Birthday dinner, we ordered Steam garlic lobster over noodles, Pepper filet mignon, a whole winter melon soup…., the food quality is good, large portions and tasty.“

“The Daikokuya ramen is soo delicious and very filling.“

“Watching the chefs hand pull and prepare the noodles fresh right in front of you makes the whole experience even more special. You can really taste the difference. The noodles had the perfect texture, and the broth was incredibly rich, flavorful, and comforting. Every bite tasted fresh and made with care. The service was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. This has easily become one of my favorite places for authentic, freshly made noodles, and I'll definitely be back again. Highly recommended“

“สนุกสนานอาหารอร่อย บรรยากาศดีมีระดับ“

“This is pretty good, affordable place if you love spicy food like we do. While it's not my favorite Sichuan place, the noodle dishes hit the right notes.

Update: get the boiled fish with tofu and wood ear mushrooms. They’re very good.“

“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“

“Had a yummy dinner with great service in a lovely setting. We love the hot and sour soup here and the lemon yuzu scallops are my absolute favorite! Love the beef rolls and the cauliflower dish too. Truffle xiao long bao are so fragrant and yummy! Everything is always delicious. The sticky rice drinks are so good too! One of my fav toppings anywhere! Always a delicious meal.“

“Had lunch here today, hadn't been here in a while and it's still as delicious as it always was. Had my favorite dish here the chicken fried rice. I've also ordered it with shrimp before and it's just as amazing. I also love the warm little bread and butter they give beforehand and I can't forget the trio of amazing sauces they put on the table.
Everyone who works here is just the sweetest ☺“

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

“Broth was delicious. The deep umami and subtlety of clam notes made the ramen stock special. Adding the sides they offer like, garlic crisps, were a plus. However, in my opinion, I felt like the ramen noodles did not give the dish its 100%. My partner said it was good overall and I am just slightly nitpicking due to personal preferences of noodles, which were too dense to my liking. I felt like the noodles took away the broth’s complexity rather than a nice balance. At the end I just kept drinking the soup. The chashu pork was tender and not dry at all.

Aside from the ramen, the appetizers such as the karaage, were crunchy and slightly juicy on the inside. The takoyaki was also nice as well.

Overall, the vibe of the restaurant felt cozy and modern, yet I wish they could have played some music to add a little more atmosphere. Service was prompt and quick.“

“Great experience and reasonable price“

“Food is great yet it takes awhile so order ahead.“

“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.“

“The best Japanese curry in LA, and we have tried a lot of places, believe me!!! Has options for vegetarians and vegans too! The miso soup comes with a lot of the meals and it's so good too. The staff know us now and they are all lovely! It's pretty small inside so probably not the best for a super big group but great for a more intimate night out and of course take out as well!“

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

“The dumplings are so good!!“

“Great food, location and service“

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

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味“

“This place is a hidden gem. Unpretentious atmosphere and Japanese comfort food. Udons, ramen and my favorite... curry spaghetti! Its so delicious, I get a craving to go here fairly often. They make the curry in house, and its to die for. Staff is great and apart from the strip mall parking being full sometimes, there's really no down side.“

“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!“

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

“A small, local hole in the wall for sure, tho it's just across irving middle school 🤩 I'm born and raised in Glendale, and I hate that I didn't notice this place sooner, as it's a bit hard to spot on the main street while driving.

My husband and I came for lunch. We ordered the Special pho and beef pho, which was about 18$ and 17$ with tax, and a thai tea. All were delicious, and portion size matched the price point 🫶🏽 I couldn't finish all of mine, but husband gobbled his down quick

The restaurant is quaint and the space small but not tight. There was plenty of seating indoors, and kept cool in the summer heat 👍🏼

Free parking is behind the building, fitting about 3-4 cars, as well as limited free street parking 👍🏼“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“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“

“I love this place!!! Traveling North from OC area stopped to eat here. I read the reviews and thought I’d give it a try. These plates were so full of color, every bite was bursting with fresh delicious goodness!! I didn’t want to put the fork down 🤣 OH and let me mention the fork!!! I’ve never seen a fork so perfectly curved and held each bite so well that it didn’t fall off 😂🫶🏼 that’s a winner for me! 🥰
The atmosphere was very clean, well lit from the window view and the service was super sweet!! The price was just right. Portions were nice. Everything was perfect! It’s a little restaurant right off the street and if you’re not careful (like me) you’ll miss it. This is definitely a place I’ve saved on my maps for future stops! Delicioso 😋🥳“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious and everything tasted fresh and authentic. The soup dumplings were definitely the highlight — super juicy, flavorful, and made perfectly. We also tried several other dishes and honestly enjoyed everything we ordered.“

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

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

“Only got take out so can't comment on the service but my interaction told me it is about what you can expect from most places in SGV. Don't judge this place by its cover. Food is really well made. This is going to be my go to place for dumpling and Beijing pie takeout.“

“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!“

“Going to miss this place now that it's closing down. Got introduced to this place by a friend and been going to eat there sense. The food is good, love the honey sesame chicken, the prices are fairly low compared to any food location around the area. They're very generous with the amount of protein they give too. This was the place to go if you didn't want to spend money and now it's closing. Going to miss they're water too, it was nice and cool, perfect. I suggest visiting they're sister location in Ktown and giving them support as they're a family owned business that's been in the community for a long time.“

“Delicious food!! I went with two of my friends and we split the food family style so we can try a clip of things, and oh man that was thr right call. Everything was so flavourful! Also the staff is incredible, shout out to our server Marissa for walking us through the menu, you can tell she really loves the food where she works.“

“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!“

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

“Finally got our fix of yummy food🤤🤭“

“A Wonderful Family-Owned Gem!
Thai Touch Glendale is hands-down one of the best Thai spots around! You can truly feel the warmth, care, and family hospitality in every detail.
Highlights:
Fresh Tofu & Vegetable Soup: Light, soothing, and packed with crisp, healthy veggies.
Grilled Steak with Citrus: Tender, flavor-packed, and beautifully served with fresh citrus and tomatoes.
Fantastic Lunch Specials: Unbeatable value, generous portions, and authentic taste.
Great food, lovely atmosphere, and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“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.“

“We ordered the large sushi platter to go. It came with three rolls, salad and soup. Yhe quality of the fish was excellent and even better was the generous portions of real wasabi, not the paste wasabi. It was perfect for two with some leftovers but three people is a stretch. We'll be back for more!!!!“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

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

“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!“

“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!“
