47 Best Soup near Orinda

“Great Take and Bakes! Amazing cookies! Genuine Goodness is a special gem in the little town of Orinda.“

“Really love this place ! Food is delicious! Outdoor dining is refreshing.“

“We love coming here and are never disappointed! The food is a daily set selection of healthy, filling, and delicious grains, veggies, etc, and you can pick 3 of the options or get all of them. We especially love the soup that comes with the meal as well! The “generous” size is usually more than one person can finish. The service is always very prompt and welcoming.“

“We ordered the rose tteokbokki, soy garlic chicken, and seollangtang. It was SO GOOD!!!!! The soy chicken came out really hot but after it cooled down, the sauce was incredible. The seolltangtang was super fresh and clean, very light. The rose tteokbokki took the cake and the portion size is HUGE! Overall an amazing experience, will be back!“

“Great Place! Highly Recommend!“

“Tasty chowder & friendly staff“

“Genuinely the best breakfast/brunch experience ever. The food was INCREDIBLE the cake tasted so delicious and I highly highly recommend. The service was so great and everyone needs to try this place. There’s also a gorgeous rose garden in the back“

“I’m have been coming here for a while now and I really love this place, it’s the perfect place to get some lunch. The environment is really nice, the cashiers are nice, the cashier(Angela) who always takes my order makes the whole experience better, she is very attentive“

“Monster Pho is an absolute gem, both in terms of food + value, and community support; they've just announced that until SNAP benefits are fully restored, kids under 12 can get pho for free if you show them your SNAP card (and a discount for parents, but no purchase necessary for the kids' pho).

I could not be prouder or more grateful to have a business like this in our area. Get some delicious food and support their community efforts! I love their bahn mi, it's definitely one of the best values in the area, and I've never had to wait long for take out (can't speak to dine-in service but I would guess it's also fab).“

“The food was delicious… Absolutely melted in my mouth. I had a chicken burrito everything was cooked to perfection… Our waiter Avery was out of this world...in addition to the food...he just makes the place👍🏻“

“We love Mugunghwa, their food is delicious & authentic. It’s a privilege to have such well established, family owned Korean restaurant around, something that is not always given. All the main dishes, I believe, come with 6 set of side dishes and please don’t sleep on them - the portions are very generous (& you can ask for refills) and are flavorful. I think they make all their kimchi in house as well.

And as a Korean, I grew loving sotbap which is basically a rice cooked in a pot where you can take out the cooked rice to a side bowl and let the rice stuck to the pot simmer in broth which makes a nutty nooroongji. So I got pretty excited when I heard they have sotbap.

Our current favorites are: Sellongtang, galbijjim and bone harjangguk. But honestly all of their stuff is great in my opinion so try whatever sounds interesting to you!!“

“Food was amazing. I hope your servers and cooks are paid well. It was significantly understaffed and the staff there were working so hard and doing amazing but I felt for them. To whoever owns this, you are asking too much of your staff. There were 1.5 ppl serving a full restaurant and servicing online and call-in orders. Get them support and please pay them well.“

“I enjoyed my Meal. I found the service excellent and Ti curry yum.“

“I ordered the chicken noodle and tomato soup to be delivered. The soup was very good, but the bread was NOT sour dough as expected, it was a cut in half hoagie roll...yuk! This was a HUGE disappointment as I only eat sourdough or dark rye bread. Esp in the bay area where Sourdough is the go to. You need to serve what you say you have. This kind of stuff drives me crazy. It is as if the customer is not going to know...not good!“

“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!“

“经常更新季节性的鱼类…😋新鲜…主要的是老板很帅☺️…😜“

“Every dish on the menu is 😋 delicious! My favorites are papaya salad, Banh Mi, BBQ Lemongrass Trio“

“I brought my parents to eat here. My dad loves pho! Their service was great. The food arrived quickly. The food was delicious. We had grilled pork Vietnamese sandwiches, grilled pork vermicelli bowl, spring rolls, and BBQ pork and wonton pho. (can you tell we love grilled pork?) the pork was delicious! The sandwiches were not dry. We completely enjoyed our meal and had a very nice time together. I would highly recommend this place for both dining in and takeout.“

“Came in this small but cozy restaurant for a quick lunch bite and was surprised by the ambiance. I got the pork chop over rice and was surprised on how authentic it tasted. Crispy and homey - good blend of veggies and meat. Definitely a spot for casual get-togethers or a quick lunch. I would come back to try the food they didn’t have in stock (certain foods weren’t available depending on the days of the week or month)“

“I cannot say enough good things about Lettuce in Walnut Creek. Every single dish we have tried has been absolutely fabulous and I do not use that word lightly. The flavors are fresh and vibrant, the ingredients are clearly high quality, and you can tell the team puts real love into what they do. Whether you are going for one of their signature salads, grain bowls, or something seasonal, it always hits that perfect balance of healthy and satisfying. It is one of the few places where eating clean does not feel like you are sacrificing taste. In fact, it is the opposite. You will leave feeling nourished and spoiled. The vibe is modern and inviting, the service is warm and efficient, and everything is just beautifully presented. It has become a go to spot for our family, especially when we want something fast but genuinely delicious. Highly recommend for anyone in the Walnut Creek area or passing through. Lettuce is doing something special and it shows in every bite.“

“My daughter and I found this little gem while staying in Concord. We now try to get to Concord early every time we come so we can stop here. The food is amazing. The staff is friendly enough, but they have things to do so they wont be hovering. But, if you need something, its easy to get someone's attention. Each seat has a little wooden decoration with a QR code on it. You scan it and order from your phone. The food arrives quickly. Its hot and delicious! I highly recommend this place.“

“I visited Mugunghwa on a Saturday evening and was pleasantly surprised to find no wait time. The restaurant immediately gave off a calm and welcoming vibe — clean, well-organized, and spacious, with soft pop music playing gently in the background. The ambiance strikes a nice balance between modern and comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal.

Service was prompt and professional. I was seated right away, and the staff handled everything efficiently and courteously. My dishes — Galbi Tang and Bulgogi — arrived impressively fast without compromising quality.

The food was the true highlight. The banchan (side dishes) were especially memorable — fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. Each small plate added a vibrant contrast to the main dishes, showing attention to authenticity and balance. The Galbi Tang was comforting, with a clean, rich broth and tender beef that fell apart easily. The Bulgogi was tasty and well-seasoned, though the rice on the side was a touch too moist; a drier texture would have made the dish even better. Still, the quality of ingredients and consistency of flavors stood out.

Overall, Mugunghwa delivers an impressive combination of fresh flavors, attentive service, and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel taken care of without any pretense. Despite a minor flaw in the rice texture, I’d gladly return for another meal — especially for those wonderful banchan.“

“Fantastic food, excellent service and nice ambiance! Everything is so fresh and delicious! I love this place!“

“Ban chan was nicely packaged and tasty. The Fried chicken was greasy & nasty and had a bad smell. I really wanted to have fresh fried chicken but the oil/grease/lard was not fresh. I ate one piece of a wing out of six in the $20.00 order. $20.00 for six wing pieces….so basically it was 3 wings…each wing cut in half. Pretty expensive. For that price at least use fresh oil.

The short rib cabbage soup was not remarkable nor worth the $29.00 price.

The delivery orders were all 10% higher than a pick up or dine in order. I guess to cover delivery fees?“

“It’s a bummer that the price went up. I had chicken Del pot bibimbap, and my partner had the spicy pork lunch special with tofu soup, comes with white rice. You can choose your spice level. I love that everything came with a Delpot to keep it hot.
The Banchan was really good, though they didn’t offer a refill this time, which used to do. Maybe only one server was working.
They had K-pop plying on the three screens, but the music from the speaker didn’t match the videos. Still, food was great overall.

Parking: Clear out your car just in case before you leave.“

“Always such good food with so many choices. Always very friendly staff as well. Love eating here“

“The grilled chicken with shrimp and vermicelli was super tasty, and all the sides hit the mark—fresh spring rolls, crispy fried egg rolls, and a comforting seafood wonton soup with egg noodles. The drinks were awesome too—loved the three bean, mung bean with coconut milk, and the young coconut. Everything was fresh, the place was clean, and service was fast and friendly. Definitely coming back!“

“They have good food here and they still open“

“Went here today after spending some time at the beach! Good service, good food! I got the vegetable ramen since it's the only one that doesn't have pork broth (I'm vegetarian. Although, I didn't ask what broth they use instead but I'd like to assume veggies? If anyone knows, let me know?). I also got the vegetable tempura since I've wanted to try tempura for the longest time!
The ramen was definitely my favorite of the two! The broth was rich and the veggies and noodles were very fresh. I also LOVE how soft the tofu was, so good! The green onions had a really nice bite too. I didn't get my ramen spicy because I'm not a huge spice person. The tempura was also good! I probably wouldn't get it again, not because it didn't taste good or anything, the veggies were very tasty and fresh, I just don't think it's really my thing. They were also really sweet and brought over some watermelon (which was also super good!).
Good amount of food for the price as well.“

“I've been coming to Thanh Ky since forever. You'll always see OG's eating here. And yes, this is a hole in the wall spot.

The staff are nice and the owner is always friendly. The noodle soup always hit the spot when I'm craving for noodles! 😋

They accept cash only.“

“Very flavorful Vietnamese food at a decent price. Friendly service, and appreciate that their eating area is dog friendly and that they have their own parking lot. They have made many upgrades in the eating area, with heaters for the winter and air conditioning for the hotter days.“

“I really wish i could give 5 star because the food and service deserve this. However, i could not ignore the extremely high prices on the food. Example, bulgogi dish is $42. I know this is Berkeley, but still, two main dishes, chicken wings and one Soju should not cost $178 (including the tip).
Otherwise, the food was excellent. Not crazy about the dome of crispy rice, too dry and hard to chew, even after soaking it in the tofu soup“

“Delicious! Amazing tofu kimchi stew, kimchi pancakes and bibimbap. Highly recommend for authentic Korean food beyond Korean bbq.“

“The food is good, the portions are generous, and the prices are a bargain. The restaurant seems to cater towards the student lunch crowd, so the lines can get long.
I have tried the kimchi fried rice, the popcorn chicken, and the beef Bulgari, and I can recommend them all“

“Service is minimal, but their noodles are good.“

“I love Bamboo Garden! They have incredible lunch specials that could easily feed 2 people. My fave menu items are pork chow mein and chicken lettuce wraps. The food is always fresh and good quality. The staff is so friendly, too! Bamboo Garden has become one of my favorite restaurants and I love supporting them.“

“The food is always good here! Fresh and cooked to order. Service has gotten better over the years I remember when they were so rude. For the Ambiance I give it a 3 this is really a order and go. My favorite is always a dry fry ribs they're always top-notch. Today I ordered dry fried ribs beef chow mein and chicken fried rice with no soy sauce. The wait time has even improved I only waited 15 minutes.“

“old skool cool. i've had many a meal here. it's probably responsible for how much i weigh after college.......actually i went here even more after graduating. everything is good. in particular pepper garlic chicken and basil eggplant chicken are two tasty standouts. good pad thai and pad see ew too. thankfully i work a little farther away from campus now, so i can't go here too often....but maybe i'll go again...“

“Good food, great place for duck, Asian BBQ pork and BBQ ribs etc. Large amount of menu items. Their egg Foo young is amazing. Picture is their wonton and egg noodles with Peking duck pretty good. 11.00+ unfortunately, they haven’t allowed dine in since the start of the Covid pandemic. Prices have also raised $3.00 plus per item since then .“

“Always go here at least one a week. Really love the spicy soup compared to the other similar restaurant in Berekeley. Anyway I think I left my black SALOMON running belt in your place. I cannot contact the number, I will comeback tomorrow. Hope you can keep it for me. Thanks!“

“BETTER , IMPROVED SERVICE!! THANK YOU..kudos to staff who work hard, clean salad bar and refill“

“Great food and good service“

“I was heading to the Pink Stallion out the end of Clayton road to drop off a big box of strap-on thingamabobs to the Lady's Auxiliary for their annual Gathering of She Bears, when I passed by the West Coast Sourdough Delicatessen. What luck! I whipped it on in faster than big Mabel Hatley in a sorority full of Georgia Peaches!
I had the Turkey sub, and it was Spectacular! 5 stars and worthy of a two hour drive. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“If the aliens came down from Mars, and asked me what’s good food — I’d show them this place! Prik king is what I’d order them and it would finally be universally known how magical this dish is!! Bravo 👏🏼 Bravo! Such excellence!!“

“I’ve been coming to ChinaChef for over a year now, and it’s easily one of my favorite spots! The food is always delicious, everything has great quality, fresh ingredients, and amazing flavor. It’s also very affordable, which makes it even better.

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and you can tell it’s a family-owned restaurant. The people here are always friendly and go out of their way to help. Whether it’s dine-in or takeout, the experience is always great.“

“One of my favorite dining places! Strongly recommended to anyone looking for a healthy eat.“
