47 Best Soup near Newark

“First timers! Bahn Mi's were so good! customer service was very courteous, and quick. Food was delicious, portions were worth the price. Soups looked amazing also!“

“Beyond average but missing some to push it to GOAT territory. The dining experience is very Chinese, from the way you order to how they structure the menu to how the dishes are served I feel like I'm back in PRC. Which could be good or bad depending on person. I ordered the signature spicy noodle combo. I agree with other reviewers that the noodles are the weakest link they are way too soft and wimpy. The soup base is good with the distinct spicy profile but the ingredients in there doesn't really get the taste integrated, they all just fell flat. Prices are on the slightly expensive side but portions are big, two people of average appetite could easily share a combo, and they have a condiments aisle you can add cilantro peanuts or whatever unlimited. Kinda weird for the noodles tho since they are already heavily seasoned, it's more of a hotpot thing. But I added some fried peanuts into my noodles nonetheless. Service was OK and vibe is family / locals.“

“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.“

“Awesome sandwiches and very friendly service ! The ruben was delish and the broccoli cheddar soup good also ! Will definitely go back again ! I forgot my pickle though, darn ! Was chatting so much with the friendly lady up front, I totally forgot to make sure they gave it to me ! Oh well, next time ! I'm hoping business is good for them and they can stay for a long time !“

“Went with 5 other friends and it was a great experience. Cuts of meat are good and its a true all you can eat. I don't think I've ever left a hotpot restaurant full before.

It also has the usual sauce bar and a conveyor belt that has a bunch of extras for the soup“

“I tried Seasons Noodle and Dumpling Garden, and this place definitely surprised me in a good way.

I’m not usually a noodle person. What I know about noodles is either the wok style ones I used to eat back home in Egypt or simple instant noodles at home. That said, this spot changed my perspective. The noodles here are handmade right in front of you, and you can really taste the difference. Fresh, well-textured, and done properly.

The place is very busy, which is usually a good sign, and overall the service moves fast. If you order a broth based noodle dish, it comes out quickly and is served hot, which is great. The issue comes when one person orders broth noodles and the other orders a non broth dish. Those take noticeably longer, and by the time they arrive, the broth dish is already cooling down. That takes away from the experience when you’re eating together.

Because of that timing gap, I’m taking one star off. The food quality is strong, and the handmade noodles are the highlight, but better coordination between dishes would really improve the experience.

Still, if you’re into fresh, handmade noodles, this place is worth trying. Just keep the order timing in mind.“

“Great hot pot experience! The price was $34.99, which felt reasonable for the variety and quality. The soup base was flavorful, and the dipping sauce went really well with everything. They also offered a drink for writing a review, and the drink was very refreshing — it paired perfectly with the hot pot, especially while eating something warm and spicy. Overall, a satisfying meal and a nice place to come with friends.“

“It is really tasty food. The broth I think is eapeciallly tasty.

To start I think it’s pretty quick to get a seat, even though the restaurant seems quite busy. The service also seems quite quick and you order quite fast. Seems like there is also a lot of customization available on the menu for the noodle. Once we ordered it wasn’t too long till we got the food.

Overall the food is really good. Texture of the noodle is good, flavouring is good, and spice level is good as well. I didn’t think it was too spicy which was nice.

Pleasant experience“

“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)“

“The picture says it all. 😋“

“House of Dumplings is an absolute treasure! Their dumplings are incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly handmade with care. Every bite is a delight, whether steamed or pan-fried. Beyond the dumplings, their other Chinese dishes are also excellent. This place is a must-visit for authentic and delicious food. Highly, highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Nice place good serving staff“

“Update:
Jianbao is still delicious. I’ll probably skip the hot and sour soup next time. It’s tasty but too much for one person. Also, there’s a lot of soup and I don’t think it’s worth the money. OK if you’re sharing.

Tasty and juicy jianbao. Bottom was nice and crispy.“

“Tried the spicy combination suyuk, a hotpot with beef tendon, beef brisket, ox tail, etc., chives and mushroom. The soup base is tasty and the portion is generous with small kimchi dishes. Overall the beef is tender but not quite the premium beef quality we can get for hotpot in other places. The price is on the high side so we hope for more premium quality. Overall we enjoy the dish.“

“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.“

“I have been coming here for almost 14 years. And I would not change this japanese restaurant for another. Ambiance, food price, friendliness the taste of the food is wonderful. Like my mom always says : bueno, bonito y barata. Good, wonderful, comfortable prices. You won’t be disappointed!!“

“Enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, was provided excellent service and hospitality, and the food was amazing.“

“Great food, fast and consistent customer service and the atmosphere was very chill. From the front door to our waitress everyone was very polite and professional. It's obviously not top notch Italian food. But it's always flavorful and consistent. The bread is always warm and the salad was nice and crisp. The Alfredo and chicken hit the spot and the drinks kept flowing. Love this location.“

“We’ve been here several times and we love this place and will definitely come back again. Foods are absolutely delicious, they also offer unlimited refill, price are reasonable, too. There’s a lot of seats here, chill atmosphere, and nice friendly staffs.“

“I dont like to give small businesses a hard time, the food was amazing the only issue i have is the consistency of their hot and hour soup, ITS EXTREMELY THICK, I've been to house of dumplings and hong Kong city restaurant in the area, this is thr first time encountering soup being served like this. I hope I can either get a refund on the item or an exchange. None the less everything else was great, just wish I didn't pay 11 bucks for this item“

“Best sandwiches! The garlic sauce makes the sandwich. The avocado is so fresh!“

“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 : )“

“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“

“I went in today and I must say the type of customer service I got was amazing!!! Didn’t get her name but was a short Hispanic lady!! She went above and beyond to help me find some jalapeños chips(she went to the back to check) also her attitude was just amazing!!!“

“Our server Miguel was the highlight he was so nice and helpful. Lyla was also great and the store manager walked around to check in on all the tables which was nice, the food was of course pretty standard to Olive Garden, the soup is more watery than I remember it being but I think that’s what it is now. Overall great experience thanks Miguel!“

“Im a big fan of their Phò, grilled chicken and shrimp vermicelli and their pastries . The staffs and owner Alice are very attentive and go their way to know their customers/guests. I highly recommend La Patisserie“

“Very authentic Cantonese clay pot dishes. Everything came out piping hot. The flavors are spot on. The place is clean and not crowded. Service is fast. The only negative is that the ribs in the pot we ordered were very chewy and the sliced meats in the porridge were also chewy. However all the cured meats and sausages were perfect so we still enjoyed the dishes. Will definitely come back to try another time.“

“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!“

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

“GREAT value for the price and the sandwich was yummy! The customer service was amazing. A customer next to us was taken care of speedily and respectfully to rectify when she realized there was a sauce on the sandwich she didn’t want. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Food was done quickly and it tasted amazingly delicious.“

“Every time I come into this Panera, I’m greeted with nothing but positive energy and awesome service🤌🏾Tianna and Sabbath always go above and beyond🙂‍↔️ They’re warm, welcoming, and consistent every single visit. The rest of the staff is great too, and you can tell they take pride in what they do🔥
Not to mention… the place stays clean, which is a huge plus for me✨
Overall, the customer service, cleanliness, and atmosphere keep me coming back. Keep up the great work, Panera team!🥰🫂“

“Pretty decent overall. I wish the protein (fish) servings were a little bigger.

Kind and helpful staff

The atmosphere is a little louder and brighter than I would like but that's just personal preference

Overall a decent spot with room for improvement“

“My long time place for delicious chinese food. The dumplings are good: try the lamb with zuccini and chicken with spinich for a real treat. The dim sum is the best in the Hayward area. Oustanding dishes are: cucumber with garlic and fungus, salt and pepper chicken wings, tender vegetables with filet fish, string beans with chicken, Egg Foo Young (unbeliably great), walnut prawns, won ton soup, knife cut chow mein with mixed meat and shrimp. All portions are large and properly packaged. I only do delivery orders with BEYOND MENU who favors local businesses so I have no rating for servive or atmosphere. This place is a find!“

“Just had a wonderful Italian salad...so good and hubby enjoyed his sandwich and salad very much. So happy to find a new delicious salad/sandwich joint!“

“Sandwiches are made to order which is nice good selection on soft drinks with free refills. I took home one of their taken bake sourdough loaves tonight to try it.“

“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!!!!“

“Best food ever great service been to all three highly recommended 😋5 star's definitely“
