30 Best Soup near Pleasanton

“I've been at Pho Queen half a dozen times. I've had the pho, egg noodle soup, banh mi, rice plates, cha gio, and coffee. I think it's among the top 3 Vietnamese restaurants in the East Bay. The best in the Tri-Valley by a big margin. The menu is simple, but very delicious. The owner and cook (named Thuy, I think) is a very sweet and hard working woman. The servers I've experienced have been attentive and eager to please, though not super polished. (The Vietnamese are not known for polished service. My wife and I joke that the lack of refinement is a good sign of authenticity.) I've seen Vietnamese restaurants in the Tri-Valley come and go in the pass 25 years, and I hope this one makes it.“

“I'm currently getting over a cold and needed some hot soup for lunch. I've driven past this place for the past year but never made the effort to come. I decided to change that today. The outside can be a little easy to miss as it's tucked away in an open strip mall, but parking is ample.

I was immediately seated as it was really packed for the lunch hour. The menu isn't huge on variety but in a good way. Too many restaurants try to pack too many items in, but this restaurant knows its identity and what they're good at. They stick to the classic Vietnamese dishes with little to no frills. I ended up with a bowl of beef pho with the rib bone. The food came out surprisingly quick which was excellent for those on a time crunch. The soup was flavorful and hot. They give you a good amount of meat and noodles. Side note - a lot of other pho places have been skimping on noodles lately.

Overall I was really impressed with the level of service and food. I would definitely be back to try other dishes. I was suggested to try the grilled chicken rice dish and the bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup). The decor is also really cute and trendy with a really laid back vibe. I definitely recommend it to anyone in the area for some good classic Vietnamese food.“

“Thank you so much to the staff. The food was comforting and delicious. The banchan was tasty and flavorful, the beef brisket soup is great, the ddukbokgi has a good flavor, the bibimbap has high-quality ingredients, etc. The staff are working hard and more people should come here. My family and I have been here multiple times. The staff were nice enough to take us in 20 minutes before they closed.“

“WOW! Hunan Chef restaurant is remarkable!
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful experience I had at this restaurant recently. We were incredibly impressed by the delicious food and the exceptional cleanliness of the establishment. The customer service was very attentive, and I found the prices to be more than fair. The convenient location in the plaza across from Safeway and the ample parking are also great advantages.

It's clear that the restaurant is operating at a very high standard, and it truly shows. YUM I highly recommend this restaurant 10+ stars!“

“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!“

“Just ordered their beef lamb bowl and it was so flavorful. came out super fast and the two gentleman up at the front of the store were super helpful and attentive. I believe their names were Micheal and Amon. Will definitely come back again.“

“Love Erik's Delicafe, very healthy foods! You must try this place“

“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.“

“Oh my! This place has become one of my favorite places to go to for some good comfort food, like Chili. The food is yummy, tasty and hearty and really hits the spot for a little bit of warmth when it's chilly and cold outside.

It's pretty affordable for what's served, if I could price it out myself, it would be $1 - $1.50 less for the soups, but I don't know their overhead expenses so what would I know?!

The seating area is fine, plenty of booths, tables and high top tables with enough table top and seats to fit 6 people at each table and parking is easy peasy, since the deli is part of a small shopping center.

The owners are always friendly and happy to serve their customers, and they're patient too. It just makes the experience that much better. I can owe this restaurant finding to my older brother Bruce, who met up with my dad one day for lunch.

I met up with them too, and just ended up loving this place. So glad to have a restaurant to go to, that I know is good.“

“When i walked in Heather greeted us with a great smile. Her vibe put me and my girlfriend in a great mood. My girlfriend got the chicken bulgogi and i got the beef. It was sooooooo good. The cabage salad had a delicous dressing and the macaronia salad rice and beef was great. It was very clean and the news and music videos on the tvs were nice. Music was chill. We will be coming back again and again“

“Amazing sandwich shop in Livermore! All the produce is fresh and the bread is made daily. The owners of the shop greet you when you come in and you immediately feel at home. The Italian Sandwich is incredible. The salads and soups are just as good.“

“My Livermore “Go-To” Thai Food fix. The family that owns the restaurant is “Hands-On” and super friendly and attentive. Most importantly the food is authentic and delicious.“

“This is now my third time eating here and I absolutely love it. I've never tried the food before eating here and it's so delicious. I would highly recommend eating at this place I love the garlic noodles with beef 🥰. I'm going to start learning to cook food like this 😋.“

“Highly recommended!!

This was my first time trying Olive Garden, and everything was amazing. I had one of their homemade soups as an appetizer, it was so flavorful. I also ordered the Herb-Grilled Salmon 😋 and it was absolutely delicious, definitely a 10/10. The Chicken Alfredo was really nice as well.

The whole staff was welcoming and polite, especially our server Andy. Thank you for the great experience! 🙏🏽“

“Great prices. Good/great flavors. Good/great service.
Everything we ordered was good. Chicken and duck is probably what they were best known for. The pork nuckle was soft but not super flavorful. The intestines were good.

“they have really good customer service. every one is so polite“

“I had been craving a sandwich with some good bread. We went right before closing and to my surprise the bread was still fresh, had a slight crisp outside and very soft inside. We loved it so much we went back the next day. Our choices were cold tuna, italian and the brisket sandwiches. All were very good choices. The clam chowder soup was a great compliment to the tuna. My son had the mac-n-cheese he doesn’t eat anyones, but mine, however, he liked it! I plan to go back and try the French Dip next time. ?“
