Soup near North Hollywood

“Swung by this little ol establishment with 3 others on a blistering Sunday afternoon and what a surprise Thai Victory was! I now understand why TV has received the voluminous amount of 5 stars. Coming from Thai Town, TV can really be ranked amongst the gr10s.

Inside - 4/5
Very cozy and intimate with only a handful of tables. Bunch of Thai decor around the restaurant. And of course a random TV and hanging Xbox hah.

Service - 5/5
This sm0l establishment is run by the nicest (I assume) couple. They checked on us often and offered recommendations for the different dishes (e.g., spice, rice vs noodles). They also gave us a couple Thai tea's on the house! Very refreshing during this heat wave.

Food - 5/5
Now I'll be honest with the non-lunch special value of at least ~$14-17 a plate, I was worried that we would not have enough food and/or they quality would not be great. Alas, I was gratefully mistaken. This day we got Chicken Pad Thai, fried Eggplant, Roasted Duck Basil and Garlic Basil Tofu. Each dish was made with fresh ingredients, wasn't overly cooked or oily and was filling. Much like I said above, TV could stand on it's own Thai Town. But, why compete with so many other restaurants when you can capitalize in NOHO? My personal favorite dish was the roasted duck. The duck was crispy and was on a bed of Chinese broccoli. All dishes were distinct, but complimentary. Also we had some Thai coffees and man did it wake us up (and also sent us to the bathroom hah).

TL;DR
Overall 5/5
- Sm0l cozy hole in the wall with a handful of tables
- Small lot, plus plenty of street parking
- Lunch specials will be your best deal
- GR10 service
- Recommend Thai coffee, Thai Tea, Pad Thai, Eggplant, Roasted Duck Basil, and Garlic Basil Tofu

“It is wonderful!! Service great and the food is delicious. Try the Tortilla soup!!!!“

“One of those rare spots. The broth is rich, clean, and deeply comforting with being heavy, and the flavors taste honest and balanced. Service is good, and the atmosphere is simple but welcoming, making it perfect for both a casual solo meal or sharing with friends. It's the kind of place you keep coming back because the food is consistent and hits the spot.“

“Yuppp. This was a nice surprise. Like a family owned hole in the wall. Almost don’t want to review it and keep it to myself. Had the mushroom soup and vegetable only friend glass noodle. Literally the best flavor and the perfect amount for 2. Service was prompt and price was RIGHT! They do have some pairing out back and the area is not too congested.“

“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!“

“The Studio City location will always be the best option for ramen. Parking has never been an issue and that is a rarity! Such a gem after concerts, a trip to Universal or any night out. Incredibly convenient location and always the friendliest staff!“

“A Hidden Gem for Vietnamese Comfort Food!

I had an incredible dining experience at this Vietnamese restaurant. The standout dish was their beef stew pho, which was absolutely unforgettable. The broth was rich, flavorful, and deeply comforting—unlike any pho I’ve had before. It had a unique blend of spices that gave it a slightly sweet, aromatic depth, and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. What made it even better? It came with a warm, soft baguette on the side—perfect for dipping into the broth. So simple, but such a game changer.

I also tried their vermicelli special, and it did not disappoint. It came beautifully arranged with grilled meats, fresh herbs, and crispy spring rolls—all bursting with flavor and texture. Every bite was balanced and satisfying.

If you’re looking for authentic Vietnamese flavors with a creative twist, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is the K town classic. It first opened in 1982. Since then it became the place to get authentic Korean BBQ and signature dongchimi noodle. I still remember the first time I tried their noodle and I was so blown away. When it comes to dongchimi noodles, they are on the top tier.“

“Came in for the first time a few years ago because I was interested in the "twice-fried noodles" (tsuivan)... was instantly hooked. Everything here is just produced with so much attention to detail and served with such charisma. Highly recommend, also try the salted milk tea 😁😁“

“I came here with my family to eat and everything was perfect. The lady greeted us with a smile as soon as we walked in and we were seated immediately. We ordered EunDaeGoo Jorim and Gajaemi and they were delicious. Definitely recommend this place and became one of my favorites.“

“Their Gukbap is superb felt like it was different version of gukbap more spicy and different broth compared to a traditional pork based creamy broth

My friend had their cold noodles and said it was lowkey mid so not sure what’s going on there… so eat the gukbap instead. Their Jeon is great and Mandoo is great too“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“This place has limited seating so you may need to wait but it'll be so worth it. All of their ramens are so solid. From the broth, the toppings, and the chewy noodle, just scrumptious all around! They sure know what they're doing. If you're feeling indecisive, they have a combo of donburi & mini ramen. The Yu-Chi-Lin don is a glazed karaage, which was delicious. I really enjoyed the Hinodeya flavored broth. Next time, I'll definitely going for the tonkotsu ramen. All of the staffs are so friendly that you'll want to come back! Lastly, do yourself and get the appetizers. All are so good but the brussel sprouts stood out. Well done!“

“We were driving around shopping and got hungry, so we stopped in to Monta Factory. I was completely unfamiliar with the food, but the aromas were fantastic. We decided to play it safe and got the chicken sandwiches plus a couple of the cheese khinkali. While we were waiting for the food, several large orders went out catering style. So, although we were the only patrons dining in, it was clear the restaurant does a good catering business.

Our food arrived in a few minutes, and it all looked great. The chicken sandwich had a generous piece of baked chicken. There were pickled veggies, roasted peppers, a great garlic sauce, all in a perfectly toasted chibatta bun. All together, it amounted to a wonderful sandwich. It was delicious and filling. A great combination of flavors.

I had never had a khinkali before, so didn’t know what to expect. It was a very cheesy, lightly fried dumpling. Very good!

After having a sample of what they make, I want to go back and have a selection of the rest. I’m definitely coming back.“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“Craving homey, flavorful, and authentic Korean meal? Look no further than JunTong SulLungTang! This cozy hole-in-the-wall delivers on the most amazing Sul Lung Tang (Korean Ox Bone Soup)!

Located in a free parking lot (a rarity in Ktown), this unassuming restaurant is small but cozy. The interior is simple and unassuming but the food packs a punch!

Their Sul Lung Tang is flavorful, rich, and simmered to authentic perfection. You can season it to your liking and add as few or as many green onions as you prefer. The banchan (side dishes) are simple but tasty. The kimchi is just … yum! Whether you are under the weather, feeling like eating something homey, or looking for your next authentic Korean meal, JunTong SulLungTang will most certainly satisfy your cravings!

The staff is extremely nice and friendly. They are also attentive despite always being busy.

Overall, JunTong SulLungTang is a not-so-hidden gem for authentic Korean food that won’t disappoint!“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

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

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“Test its by yourself.clean foods and good service“

“Really good food worth of your money😊“

“Very great food and good service. Good decor and there is lots of parking outside. Only downside is the menu is only in Korean but just use google translate.

I like how peaceful it is. It gave me the time and quiet to finally think about the social economic state of the world right now. Food is fire.“

“Kabawoo House is hands-down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Los Angeles. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm, welcoming service that instantly makes you feel at home. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, and you can tell the staff truly cares about their guests.

The food is out of this world — every dish is packed with flavor, made with fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. You can taste the passion and attention to detail in every bite. I especially loved how generous the portions were without compromising quality.

Whether you’re coming for a casual meal or a special occasion, Kabawoo House delivers perfection every time. I left already planning my next visit. Highly recommend to anyone in LA looking for amazing food, great service, and an all-around fantastic experience!“

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

“I came in on 05/10/2025 around 5pm.

Food: Tried their Tsukemen for the first time. It was served with two tender slices of pork and marinated egg. The broth was thick and salty, pairs so well with the jumbo ramen noodles.
They have a new Fried Calamari appetizer on the menu, it comes with I believe a sriracha mayo dip. The batter was well seasoned and the calamari itself is not rubbery. The batter got burned a bit, but I do not mind at all.

Service: It was perfect. The staff were attentive.

Atmosphere: The dining space was clean. Gives off a typical Ramen Restaurant vibe. It has counter seating.

Overall the food tasted great. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
I don't go to Tsujita anymore for Tsukemen. Kai Ramen all the way.“

“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 :)“

“Came here after a Dodger game and was very happy with the food, service, and quiet atmosphere. All the food was delicious and came out quick. It was exactly what we needed.

Staff informed us right away there is no bathroom in the restaurant but directed us to the nearest one if needed.“

“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!

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options and clearly labeled dishes

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options on the menu and made to order noodles

Parking: There’s a valet that’s $3 for 90 minutes but there’s also free 1-hour street parking nearby

Kid-friendliness: Would recommend - extensive menu

Wheelchair accessibility: All one level“

“Tina, the owner, is an amazing person and great Thai chef. I dined in her cozy restaurant and we had a great conversation. I absolutely loved my Penang chicken curry over rice! It’s next to a famous boxing gym - all her favorite champions come by to eat after their workout. BYOB from the market next door“

“tacos vergas los tavos vergas“

“They have the most amazing soups! Healthy and delicious! Plus they have amazing customer service!“

“OMG I loved the experience. Heaven bless this sweet, nostalgic restaurant. The Korean lady who served me was very friendly and caring, the atmosphere reminded me of family. I tried their breakfast with seaweed soup and the food was delicious. The side dishes are homemade and have many varieties. 100% recommend 💖“

“This place is known for their galbi jjeem and I should have tried it. But (a) the portions are huuuge, as in for more than 1 person, maybe up to 4 people, and (b) at $100 it is expensive. I should return with a large group so we can order and share it. There is an option for cheese which the waiter will use a torch at the table to melt and toast it. I've never had galbi jjeem with cheese. Maybe it tastes like a cheeseburger? I'd be willing to try is there was an option to have it on the side, vs fully committing by covering everything with it.

So for this visit I had the sollung tang with tendon. It hit the spot, very creamy and flavorful, and the tendon was soft & tender. I would definitely return for this alone.“

“100% RECOMENDADO DELICIOSA TODA LA COMIDA ♥️“

“If you want authentic Korean food where the customers are all old school, Korean, this is the spot! Their kimchi is off the charge if you want fresh homemade kimchi. The dumplings are so juicy and delicious, each bite is a mouthful of dumpling inners.“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Foods solid, not much selection.
Recommended for ppl who are feeling a lil sick and need something warm to feel you up 😉

I got the hanbang chicken soup.

Super sizzling hot just like me 😅

Food: 7/10, would come back for occasions when i need something to heal
Atmosphere: no complaints, it’s a restaurant nothing fancy
Service: 👏👍“

“The place to go for delicious pork kbbq! I highly recommend the thick pork belly, marinated pork ribs, and the corn cheese. The pork marinade was flavorful and not as sweet as other kbbq places. They give a nice variety of side dishes which were really good with the pork belly.

The service was also top notch. Very attentive and friendly.“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“This is my favorite seolleongtang restaurant in K-town. I’ve been coming here for years, and the taste has remained always same. Hanbat Seolleongtang is known for more thick flavor, this place stands out clean taste. The sliced meat in the soup is also outstanding quality. If you’re looking for seolleongtang in K-Town, this is my top recommendation.“

“I ordered the SP D Combo with army stew, spicy chicken feet, corn cheese, and seaweed rice ball — everything was delicious! The flavors were rich and well-balanced. The spicy chicken feet at level 1 were just the right amount of heat for me — super flavorful without being overwhelming. Definitely a great spot for Korean comfort food. Highly recommend for late night meal.“

“Great atmosfier, amazing food, unforgettable time with friends!!!$“

“The food is great and the atmosphere is very easy. I've had their bowls and try to eat here when I come to the court for other things, but their times are advertised incorrectly on google. I was at the court all day and thought I had time to eat dinner until 9 because that's when google said they closed today saturday. I went up to eat at 8 but it turns out they close at 8 everyday and closed on sunday, so honestly frustrated right now precisely because the food is so good, I was looking forward to it and not really craving anything else 🤦🏻‍♂️“

“Was thrilled to find a place with so many vegan and vegetarian options for a bunch of new food I've never tried before! We asked for some recommendations and the ladies explained what each dish was and offered samples. In the end, we went with the Armenian potato salad, mujadara, itch / eech, and lahmajun - all were tasty, but the eech was my favorite. Looking forward to trying more!“

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

“This is absolutely delicious 😋. I could eat this everyday.“

“Right across from the Galleria. They have their own parking. Too many pictures of the food on the wall. Bit overwhelming. 6:30-10:30 am they have breakfast specials. Noodle house. In one of the photos you can see there are 4 large plastic container with hot soup. Not sure if that will help if you are trying to avoid microplastics. Noodle soup is good. I have the spicy seafood soup and the bean pancake. The side dishes are tasty. They also sell kimchi.“

“Wow, so delicious. I wanted some good food for lunch before studying at M3 nearby and this place is tucked into the corner of the same strip mall. The woman was very nice and recommended the Beef Galbi-Tang, which was so delicious and had a perfectly rich broth. It came with good portions of kimchi and radish kimchi, rice, and a dipping sauce for the meat in the soup. I will definitely be ordering here again on chilly days.“
