50 Best Soup near Playa Del Rey

“Good neighborhood Mexican food.“

“One of the most iconic spots in Koreatown!
The soup arrives with customizable add-ins like green onions, red pepper paste, and minced garlic, letting you tweak the savory depth to perfection. Sides of banchan (kimchi, pickled radish) keep the table lively and flavorful.“

“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!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“One of if not the best Korean restaurants I been to. Food came out real fast and was very filling and tasted great! Service was amazing, Ken really did a great job in helping to serve us, helped with giving us recommendations, brought extra side dishes quickly, and was very nice & funny as well! Will definitely be back for more!“

“Amazing and tasting sea food, so delicious, fair price. Small place so you might have to wait to order and to find a table. A lot of people orders to go. Parking lot might be an issue too, depends on what day you go. Enjoy it!! It's all worth it!“

“A 4 in one location! Loved the variety of the different type of foods! The soups were delicious, the smash burger smelled good(didn’t taste it was for my young son) which he said was good, the arugula salad so tasty and the pink power salad was indescribable(that good) definitely coming back again. The young lady who took our order was so kind too!“

“I should've just come here first.
The lobster quality is great with thick claw meat and a nice sized pickle. The tomato bisque isn't bad, but I'll try the clam chowder next time.

Good Lobster is hard to come by since COVID. On splurge days, this is a really good choice. The people are cool too.“

“Honestly… no notes

Hidden gem in busy ktown
The sides are generous and delicious
The mains are flavorful and hearty
What more could you ask for

I can’t count the number of times I’ve gotten takeout here. Favorites include kimchi fried rice, kimchi stew, and their fishes, but all of them are hits

Highly recommend!“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“The stars aligned. We were overjoyed to find a BOB vegan restaurant, inspired by grandcestor Dr. Sebi's alkaline nutritional guide. Highly recommend Beyond Vegan - Culver City. The food was flavorful. My friend ordered the namesake quesadillas, and I ordered the jackfruit tacos with mango salsa. Double the flavor - we shared our meals. Yum! The portions were large, filling, and pleased my soul. What I thought to be a side of mashed sweet potatoes was warm, smooth mashed beans. Tacos and quesadillas on point. Purple wild rice was a delightful surprise. Diversity in texture, flavor, colors, and quality ingredients. No better way to catch up with a friend than eating outdoors at Beyond Vegan!“

“I’ve been struggling to find a decent Tonkatsu, but this one is among the best Ive had in the US. I’m not an expert in Japanese cuisine but I have been to Japan a few times an this place is within striking distance of the average tonkatsus I had there. I’ll be back when I’m in the area“

“I’ve had pho in about 6 different states. This was the best I’ve ever had! Bravo! You guys deserve it! Thanks for letting us visit! 🍲“

“Amazing Experience! The Food is Delicious and Creative. The Margarita’s are just as unique and delicious, and the STAFF make you feel at home❣️🤗 Great Staff, Delicious Food & Great Drinks! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for your wonderful hospitality❣️“

“Best Pho place around. You know a place is going to hit when they have large sauce bottles
On the table . As soon as we stepped in we were greeted , which I appreciate considering many places leave u standing there awkwardly. The music level was on point , low enough to talk loud enough to appreciate. The staff is very kind , they give off family vibes . Food came out quickly and hot . We’ve been here several times so this review is long overdue . The pics I took before we left . Next time I’ll do a before and after not just an after ….. Two enthusiastic thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

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

“We had a great experience at our first time visit here. We celebrated my son's birthday and brought in a cake. The food was amazing except for the Alaskan salmon that they substituted from what we originally ordered. They have an all day happy hour on Monday to Thursday. The service was excellent and the servers even sang happy birthday when they brought out the cake. The place was nice and clean and it wasn't crowded when we dined. The only problem was the people on the next table were too loud and there was no wall dividing them to our table so the guy sitting behind my son's girlfriend keeps on bumping into her every time he moved. We will definitely go back here.“

“Ordered the Galbi-jjim and it was so tender and flavorful! The ribs were fall off the bone. Add cheese for extra flavor and a fire show. The side dishes were tasty. Service was good.

Will be back to try the soup and other dishes!“

“JunTong SulLungTang is a cozy Korean restaurant in Los Angeles known for its authentic sullungtang (beef bone soup) and other traditional soups like galbi tang and haejangguk, served with house‑made kimchi and rice that many diners find comforting and flavorful. Customers often praise the rich broth, generous portions, and friendly service in a relaxed, no‑frills setting that’s perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner any day of the week. While it’s a simple spot, the hearty soups and classic Korean comfort food make it a go‑to choice for warming up on a chilly day or satisfying cravings for traditional flavors in Koreatown.“

“Yanina Nunez the manager is amazing, excellent service. She made me feel important by asking me how was the food? Is there anything we can do better? She also helped me carry my food since I walk with a cane and it’s hard to carry things! Thank you Yanina💕. I will be back. The food was delicious.“

“If you’re looking for great pho, this Vietnamese restaurant absolutely delivers. The broth is rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, with deep flavor that tastes like it’s been simmered for hours. The noodles were fresh, the meat was tender, and the portion size was generous. Everything came out hot and beautifully prepared, with fresh herbs that really completed the dish. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. This is easily one of the best places around for a satisfying bowl of pho, and I’ll definitely be back again.“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“I stayed at my friend’s place for five days while I was in LA. On the last day, I wanted to repay them a bit with a meal. It was a nice Korean place. I knew they wouldn’t let me pay, so I slipped out in the middle of the meal, gave my card to the waiter, and paid. I really thanked him for going along with it. The place was packed by noon. I can see why it’s popular.“

“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 💖“

“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.“

“All Korean menus are okay. I feel like I am in Seoul, South Korea..🥰🥰“

“Rich Crab is AMAZING! Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. The crab was incredibly delicious and sweet, and the monkfish stew was rich, spicy and comforting!!! And I have to say… their house kimchi is the best in the whole Koreatown. Highly recommend if you want fresh seafood and real Korean comfort food.“

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

“Glad Hurry Curry has reopened after closing their Sawtelle location. if you are new and don't know what to order, try the chicken cutlet curry and the Chicken pasta with Alfredo sauce. The curry is bold and savory. make sure to request picked vegetables for the curry. the chicken pasta is also rich and savory. both dishes complement each other without repeating the same experience. the portions are large so bring friends or bring home plenty of portions for leftovers.“

“a LOT of food for the price. great customer service.“

“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“

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

“I rarely feel this compelled to glaze restaurants like this. This food cleansed my soul. Instead of water, you also get an herbal tea made with 8 different ingredients and it’s equally as nourishing. The owner is extremely kind and genuine, and made our experience homey, relaxing, and cleansing“

“I want to share my heartfelt appreciation for Javon, whose kindness and dedication truly made our Thanksgiving event unforgettable. We hosted a gathering for more than 75 residents, and Olive Garden catered our meal. The food was wonderful, but we noticed one item was missing. I reached out, but with so much happening, I wasn’t able to follow up.

What happened next genuinely touched me: Javon arrived in person before the event even ended, carrying the missing item, a gift card, and a warm, sincere smile. It wasn’t just the fact that he fixed the mistake—it was the care, the thoughtfulness, and the effort he put into making things right. In the middle of a busy holiday week, he still made us a priority.

Because of him, the party flowed beautifully, and our residents enjoyed a truly special celebration. His gesture meant more than he probably realizes. The event was a success not only because of Olive Garden’s food, but because Javon went out of his way to ensure we were taken care of.

Thank you, Javon. Your compassion, professionalism, and heart made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful. 🙏❤️🍝“

“Everything was excellent from start to finish. The soup is very tasty, and the broth tastes pure, clean, and comforting—you can really tell it’s well-made and not overpowering.

The price is reasonable, and the serving size is just right. Overall, everything is good: great flavor, good portions, and fair pricing.

If you’re looking for a simple but delicious soup with a clean, rich broth, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I would happily come back again.“

“Really good food and fast service“

“Good customer service, delicious food“

“Looking for a good pho place in LA and I think I found it. Food was really flavorful and was impressed how fresh and everything was. I did order Jasmine Green tea but unfortunately didn’t have any hot teas available. Service was a little on the slow side but was very professional. I recommend the Veggie Egg rolls. I have been looking for these egg rolls for a while and finally found them here.“

“Gastrobot | Neighborhood Eatery:
A cozy, welcoming spot known for its inventive comfort food with a twist. The menu blends classic dishes with creative flavors, using fresh, local ingredients. The vibe is casual and friendly, perfect for relaxed dining with friends or family. Portions are generous, and the presentation shows care. Service is attentive and warm. A great choice if you want familiar food elevated with unique touches in a neighborhood setting.“

“Nong La has a dedicated Canto Viet man diligently directing the back of the house day in and day out, making sure the food hits their level of comfortable consistent cuisine, which won’t exactly blow minds or taste buds, but fills an exotic unfamiliar question mark into a manageable modern meal. But there’s this really Skinny Canto Viet lady bossing a bunch of diverse ppl around… she’s kinda scary at times and fiery at times… I suspect Nong La (Nong La means Burning) was named after the hot heat came from her own… hot… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

“Hands down the best late night hearty meal after a fun night with friends! The food regardless of what you choose is amazing with fresh ingredients and full of flavor! The employees have it down and are so quick to assist and are friendly. It does get quite busy depending on when you go, but since SND closes so late there tends to be a wait at night. There’s plenty of tables and the workers do their best with the waitlist. Parking is limited, so your best bet is street parking. Def my go to late meal spot or hangover meal! :)“

“tacos vergas los tavos vergas“

“One of my regulars, when it comes to spicy sundaeguk, this is definitely the place.
I've been going to this place since it was in front of Kim's Electric, on Olympic Road.
I go to this place when I go to Vegas, and I go to this place when I go to San Diego.
It's one of my favorite restaurants.
Tip: To-Jong Sun-Dae is tastier than just the regular Sun-Dae.“

“This was one of my childhood go to spots from when I used to live in L.A. It has been about eight years since I last came, and even though I do not fully remember the exact taste, I just remember really liking the food. Coming back while visiting did not disappoint at all.
Thank you to the lady who works here for taking our photo. She even told me to post it, which made me laugh.
I ate two pans, and yes, the servers can seem a little curt at times, but if you are a local or someone who has been coming for years, you understand that it is just part of the place. The food may not be super extravagant, but you can feel the sincerity in it.“

“Great food at a good price & service is always fantastic. The last time we went, there was a new server in training & so the service wasn’t great as it usually is, BUT, she was learning on the job, which is the point of training. We will definitely return!“

“Food was amazing!!!! My partner and I ordered the short rib soup and the spicy beef with vegetable soup. We inhaled everything including the sides, soju, and beers.

A definite recommendation for a meal to feed your soul.

A must try for all who are curious.“

“Stopped by here from LAX craving Korean food and was very impressed. This place has authentic, delicious Korean food, and their side dishes are amazing! We ordered their bossam combos with kimchi jjigae and soybean soup, which was a great value. Highly recommend!!“

“Delicious soups and recommend here hot pot“

“THE BEST PHO 🍜 ever. I travel the country and I’m a good snob. This is home cooking, unique…and absolutely delicious. Please treat yourself and go!“
