50 Best Soup near Norwalk

“Great Vietnamise food. Food it really delicious and the owner is very nice.“

“Best place to get authentic cheonggukjang in Orange County. I've been coming for what feels like over a decade and the taste never changed. The restaurant does have a strong fermented bean paste smell but if you want authentic cheonggukjang, it has to smell like this. If a place that sells cheonggukjang does not have a smell, it you will get tasteless 'watered down' version of the soup.

Plus is the smell is not as over powering as it used to be way back when but the taste is still the same.“

“I was told about this place by a friend who knows her stuff so I thought I'd give it a try. I recommend you use your navigation to find it because you'll drive right by it because it's in a small strip mall. Off the corner of Jersey and rosecrans. The restaurant is on the small side and I'm sure they get crowded with the dinner rush. I went for the lunch special served Monday to Saturday from 11am to 3 pm. I chose the Kung Pao Chicken, that comes with the daily soup,egg roll,fried rice and a fortune cookie which is alot for $11.95. They chop up their red pepper into pieces, so it has a kick ! The portions were large enough to make two meals which is a plus. Definitely will be back to try other options on the menu. Especially the hot soups which look amazing. They are closed on Tuesday ,so I had to wait an extra day. A thumbs up to whomever designed their menu, easy to decide what to order and prices displayed clearly 😀.“

“Fish tacos are AMAZING!
The Lengua was boiled or over cooked for me.
Great food, homie feel inside, service is VERY Good.

Parking: I usually park in the liquor store parking lot

Kid-friendliness: Very clean.
Lots of seating.
Salsa bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's a slim doorway but worth the amazing food.“

“My family and me have been eating at this restaurant for more than 16 years already, and as the years passed, it has become more popular for its delicious Chinese delicacies, and the intermingling of American and Chino foods bring about interesting flavors that the customers go back for, with more choices to amaze the palate! The service is superb and very warm and fast! The , staff is very accommodating and with the added warmth and cordiality of the owner, Brian, what more can the customer ask for? It is indeed a place to enjoy, relax and have a great and wonderful time! A respite from the busyness of the daily chores and demands of the job!“

“Good food and good served! I'll come back👍👍👍👍👍“

“Their really nice & friendly“

“The food was amazing and the presentation was beautiful! Our server Jack was great and the service was genuinely 10/10. We had such a great time from start to finish. I came from out of town and it was absolutely worth the trip. I would highly recommend Mo Ran Gak and would definitely come back!“

“number one place to eat.“

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“

“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“

“Miriam is an amazing person, she makes me feel at home and is always attentive to my needs. I am eternally grateful to her. Every time I go to the restaurant she makes me feel like I am part of a family. Thankyou to Mariam and Amin. They both make me feel cared and loved!“

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“This is going to be my new go to Pho place. We had oxtai, rare steak, and brisket. I always say when the brisket is tender, it always is a good pho. They have a small and a large size for $1 extra. The dish size difference is huge. Service was nice and super fast. 5 stars!“

“The owners are so nice, and were very generous in giving samples of their delicious soups for my family to try. The customer service was top notch and we got to share some stories while our food was being prepared. Based off of that we will be back. I hear they will be putting other soups in rotation so we really look forward to that.“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“There Bob a teas are everything so good and ship pha omg so good there shrimp temporary so cruspy that twine dragon cookies are one dollar some hence sell Chinese Chile's for sealed omg and top all of that put blueberries on there sailed there just so good I hilly recommended I knot kiding“

“This place used to close super early despite its hours and even calling to see if it would be open but that hasn't happened in a long time... The food here is handmade and feels like it's a lot cleaner and higher quality than your typical taco stand style place. I appetite their tacos fajatos and burritos and it's honestly the best spot in town“

“Delighted with their service and food. Serving is perfectly good for 2 and with reasonable price.“

“A Korean blood sausage soup spot in Cerritos!

This restaurant serves one of Korea’s most classic comfort foods and hangover meals — soondaegook.

The soup is hearty, rich, and has a slightly thicker, saucy texture. It’s best enjoyed with fresh chives, perilla seed powder, and a bit of the classic salted krill sauce mixed in.

I really enjoyed this hearty bowl of soup and would definitely recommend this spot for a quick and satisfying lunch!“

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

“I had lunch yesterday with friends and I ordered the eggplant dish. It was absolutely DELICIOUS and came with a salad and rice. The service was excellent and the prices are quite reasonable. I'm looking forward to a return visit!!“

“We ordered ahead when they opened for the day, and when we arrived 15 minutes later we picked up our order. We had two extra large thai curry pizza with chicken and were able to sit down for lunch. It tasted good. There were peppers, chicken, and a lot of cheese on the pizza, with curry on the side as a dip or topping. The curry is slightly spicy, but good. Highly recommend.“

“Mhat Korean Restaurant may be a small spot, but it delivers authentic Korean flavors and a really satisfying meal.

We ordered the Dak Galbi (Stir-fried Spicy Chicken) with a side of mozzarella cheese, along with an order of fried dumplings. The dak galbi was packed with flavor, and we appreciated being able to adjust the spice level to something a little milder. Adding the mozzarella was definitely the right call, it melted into the spicy chicken, making the dish even richer and creamier while balancing the heat beautifully. The fried dumplings were crispy, flavorful, and made a great side.

The best part of the meal was saving room for the fried rice at the end. They cooked it right in the leftover dak galbi sauce, soaking up all of the rich, spicy flavors. It’s definitely the way to finish the meal and something I highly recommend ordering.

The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, but the food is authentic, the portions are satisfying, and everything came together for a great dining experience. If you’re craving dak galbi, this place is well worth checking out.“

“Went in today !! Gotta say the food was great .. had spicy beef soup and my wife had bulgogi and dumplings … was completely satisfied with this place !! Also we were the only 2 customers there .. which was shocking after having tasted the food … very delicious… how is this not a popular place ???“

“Muy bueno Es muy agradable el ambiente“

“Han Yang is good. It’s also wonderfully old school. Nothing about the place feels particularly interested in being redesigned for Instagram, which I appreciate. You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I’d start.

The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything.

That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you’re hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you’re convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter.

The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want.

Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That’s preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down.

The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing.

The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job.

Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you’re seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef’s table at the restroom, but here we are.

Somehow I don’t particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn’t polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines.

Absolutely coming back. And next time, I’m getting that bibimbap again.“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“Hidden gem closed to home. Rare to find great tasting pho closed to home and big in portion.

Throughout the years many pho places give very little and tiny portions, but Tasty Pho reminds me of the good size pho bowls one used to get back in the day. Their prices are also very reasonable. Their stuff attentive to your needs.

The broken rice is very complete with the egg quiche, shrimp paste and radish carrot salad for a very good price. No need to go to Little Saigon anymore to eat great Vietnamese food“

“Service was top notch tonight“

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

“Not only the gomtang (beef bone soup) but all the other dishes here are delicious, too. We ordered the budae-jjigae (army base stew); the portion was generous, and it tasted great.
And the server was so friendly. We had an even better time thanks to the server who took care of us.“

“Today at M’s kitchen, I went with the chef’s suggestion of “cold noodles” (which is the meat sauce noodle with soy bean paste, ask for cold noodles). The pronunciation sounds like Tsa Chang lian mein, and while my mandarin is terrible the food was thankfully not. The cold noodles, cucumbers, and pork sauce hit the spot in this warm California afternoon and i couldn’t be more satisfied with both the taste and my full stomach. 10/10 Would eat again. —Recommendations— For those who want a comforting dinning experience, Treat yourself to these delicious dishes: -general tso’s chicken -spicy diced chicken -green onion pancakes -braised string beans -house special beef -braised shrimp -cold meat sauce noodle with soy bean paste —Finger foods for your office/party— For those looking to feed your office finger foods ask for a party tray (I’d get the last 3 since they are more likely “known” by the people you are feeding): -spicy diced chicken -xiao long bao -pan fried dumplings -spring rolls -green onion pancakes When in doubt, do not be afraid to ask Monica the owner for suggestions. I’ve been coming here for the past 3 years and I have always left satisfied.“

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

“Wow, the taste was amazing - both the pho and the cucumber lemonade. The pho was richly and deeply flavored and was satisfying while still being bright and fresh feeling. The service was very prompt, friendly and helpful - the server understood my not liking overly sweet drinks and recommended the cucumber lemonade as refreshing while still having sweetness. It was, indeed, refreshing and sweet - perfectly balanced flavors. The server also wisely suggested we package the noodles and broth of our leftovers seperately. I almost never eat out, but I would if I lived near Soup Shop.“

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

“Absolutely love it here! This place exceeded my expectations. I was greeted with warm hospitality the moment I walked in, and the environment has a cozy, authentic atmosphere! Every dish was packed with unforgettable flavor :) My favorite has to be their jokbal and bossam!

Service was amazing as well. They were very attentive and answered questions about their dishes. You can tell that the food was thoughtfully prepared, and they truly care about the dishes they serve.

If you’re craving some comforting Korean food or want to try something new, this is a definite must-try!“

“muy delicioso , Buena atención y el lugar muy limpio y acogedor.“

“Today was my 3rd time back. I have tried something new off their menu each visit. First visit was General Tso’s (my favorite), 2nd visit was Chicken Chow mein, today is Spicy Orange Chicken (move over General Tso’s, you’ve been replaced!). The staff is always friendly and helpful, the food is really good. When their menu says “spicy”, they mean a nice little kick and not a flamethrower!! I always order to go, 10 minutes and I am out the door. Portions are big (mine always makes 2 meals). I found my new favorite place 😁“

“Was working nearby looking for dinner to go. Asked if they can accommodate for gluten free, certain menu items yes(confirmed with an older woman, she was super sweet).Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, Pad Woon Sen, and one of the salads. AMAZING! Best Thai I've had in a decade, especially for my allergy. I will be back and will continue to order from here“

“First time trying this spot, and it’s definitely earned a place on my list of favorite pho spots! 🍜😍 The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were cooked to perfection, and the Thai tea tasted so authentic! The staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming. Stopped by around 4 PM, and it was nice and quiet. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu! 😋💕“

“I stopped by and tried a few dishes. What stuck out to me was how long the food took to prepare when the place was practically empty. I overheard another table also commenting on their wait time for food. Other than that, the food was delicious and the service was fine. The restaurant is pretty old and dingy but I wasn’t expecting anything fancy, I was just there for some food to treat my homesickness.

The salaw machu kreung and the prahok sauce was really good. The frog was alright tbh, I guess I’m not used to it being prepared in that way. (It was deep fried and then stir fried with the kreung paste and veggies I believe.) It was still good, just different. I’m glad I gave them a try, gotta support the Khmer businesses 🫶🏼🇰🇭“

“This place has the best Pho and Lousiana Cajun seafood near Knott's Berry Farm.

Its located on Magnolia near La Palma Ave same center as Popeyes.

Its a mom and pop operation and the food seems home cooked.

Atmosphere is quiet and soothing with the sound of birds

The Lousiana seafood can be boiled which is a great healthier option. The fried seafood is savory.

You must try the Rib Cube beef Pho its super beefy.“

“My best friend is Thai and he recommended me this place way back. This has been my favorite restaurant for almost 2 decades. The service is always great and welcoming. Food is always fantastic. Even back then, they served up several authentic dishes that you don't normally see in in typical Thai restaurants, like hoi tod or yum pla duk foo. Here are some of my recommendations:
Beef jerky - a must. It's unlike beef jerky anywhere else. It's tender, light crisp, and super flavorful. I order this every single time
Essan grilled sausage - very well balanced season, doesn't feel too fatty
Yum pla duk foo - fried minced fish on a bed of cabbage and cashew, served with a spicy tangy green apple salad
Tom kha soup - flavorful, sweet and tangy to balance out the creamy coconut milk.
Curry fried cat fish - more on the spicy side but the flavors are so satisfying. However, if you don't like bones, maybe ask if they can substitute for a different kind of fish
Rad na, or pad kee mao or pad see ew - very comforting
They are family-operated business. I hope you go support them because they are super nice and their food definitely will not disappoint“

“This place has my favorite chicken dishes. When I’m feeling like I need something with broth, I’m going for the pho ga. When I’m feeling for some rice, I pick the com ga chien ( fried chicken rice). They have many other great dishes as well. If you’re in the area, stop by and dine . You won’t be disappointed.“

“pho of course. I love the lobster spring roll.“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“Ordered online for pickup the shrimp Alfredo gnocchi soup I a tracking email link pulled into empty parking spot typed parking spot # into the linkand the order hand delivered in a couple of minutes Enjoyed the taste and portion sizeof my entree l also enjoyed the gnocchi soup that I saved for later .The bread sticks had just right amount of seasoning and were not over baked I appreciate the chocolate mints, but first I refrigeratie them as they melt from the heat I will return to the OG soon“

i love their cold noodles and kimchi“

“I am an owner of a small business and I often bring my 10 employees here for our lunch meetings. I have done this last 5 years or more. The Manager , Nishith , deserves a huge thank you for always getting us seated , served and taken care of before promptly . As a business owner I see the value of what he does for the Olive Garden company as he makes each of our visits enjoyable . The rest of the team here at the Stanton OG are also top notch.. There is another restaurant we used to go to for our staff luncheon / meeting but this is our go to place . This review is long overdue .
