35 Best Soup in Sacramento

“I absolutely love West Coast Sourdough! This place truly deserves all five stars. The services are top-notch, with a special shoutout to Bailee for being so attentive and friendly – she really made our family's visit enjoyable. The food quality is consistently excellent, and the sourdough is simply the best. Everything is spotlessly clean, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for such high-quality food. My whole family enjoyed it, and we'll definitely be back!“

“Love It!!! Im definitely recommending it to family and friends 😁“

“Worth the wait. Friendly staff. Food comes out quickly. Excellent food.“

“Been here a few times. Great food, quick service and friendly customer service!!“

“restaurant is beautiful service is fantastic owners super friendly great atmosphere and great food! had the lemon crepes carrot cake pancakes were awesome!“

“We just enjoyed probably the best Pho we have eaten. Service was quick and the food was excellent. I tried the honey ginger tea and it was so good hot. The peanut sauce served with the spring rolls was warm, and the brisket in the pho was thicker cut and very lean.“

“I made my order online on my phone in the parking lot. Amazingly, within 5 minutes my order was completed and payments taken simply by following a few easy steps. In 20 minutes, I had all that I ordered. The cost was right. The taste was savory, and I was heavily fulfilled. This olive garden is top notch. Thank you for being awesome.“

“Bún bò Huế is delicious, convenience location, great service 👍🏼“

“Pan fried… any filling… all the sauces.

Have been coming for years.

Now live an hour and a half away and still make the drive.

Don’t miss this place.

I like the dumplings so much I haven’t tried anything else.“

“I enjoy the food very much. Sometimes I make special requests (no salt) and they are very great about accommodating me. Delivery is always curious and polite. The location is perfect if I choose to walk to the restaurant🙃“

“I've been to this place a handful of times now and I will always be back. The best thing about this restaurant is definitely how affordable it is. My partner and I can enjoy three entrees and two sides for around 60$. We definitely get our money's worth and the food is delicious too.“

“Food is fire as hell! Really affordable without cutting corners on quality. I recommend the chow mean, cream cheese wontons, and the beef dumplings. Thanks guys for your consistency with food quality. I'll be back for sure. 🙂‍↕“

“My wife and I found that the quality of food and service were absolutely fantastic!!“

“We decided to try this place on a whim since we pass by it diving to our gym all the time. We ordered pork fried rice, pork chow mien, general Tao chicken, and Mongolian beef. 2 adults and one very hungry teenager ate and we had enough for left overs for all of us the next day. The food was the best Chinese food I've had in a while and definitely the best tasting in the area. Portions were generous, staff was super friendly, place was clean... what more could you ask for? We're already ordering again since my son requested it for his birthday dinner. This is now our go to for Chinese.“

“Fireeeee food for an affordable price. Side portions are HUGE and the dumplings are beyond tasty.

Biggest shout out in the world to Crystal who was singlehandedly running the show on a busy Saturday night. Amazing service from her. And thank you to the chefs who made our food so delicious and well worth our time!“

“I stopped in at Sourdough sandwich shop for the first time. I had a Italian flatbread pizza and it was scrumptious. great service, clean establishment and really nice experience“

“Locals recommended this place for sushi and we are glad we listened. Thanks to Eva. We had a wonderful experience with her excellent service. We started with complimentary cucumber relish on table, ordered miso soup, had multiple wonderful sushi rolls, the plum wine was wonderful (broad range of Japanese drinks available). In addition the presentation was spectacular. Finished with Mochi green tea and strawberry. We highly recommend this place.“

“Me and my mama would always stop by to get some pho here when I was young. I grew up eating here and I would always get the same meatballs and noodles. We used to be regulars and the lady that always served us was so kind. She had a very beautiful smile. Thank you for being a part of my childhood.“

“I’ve been coming to this restaurant before I even had my kids… this place is family owned and ran! From the grandparents starting it to the daughter doing it and now her kids are doing it!!! The food is always good here there are never off days the restaurant has not changed any flavors over the many years it’s the original taste I got when I started eating here 20 years ago .. the vibe is fantastic with the music playing and the full bar in the back and party room sometimes they have a mariachi band playing this place is good for seniors because of the fair prices and middle age people with thier family’s.. Kids are treated like family and the experience is just wonderful!! Enjoy the colorful decorations and make some great friends that become family💚 you will be back I promise you!! I can’t get enough 😘“

“Looking for delicious Chinese food. I came here a couple times and wanted to see if my 3rd time was as I remembered. Yes, the food is as tasty as I remembered. the wide noodle chow fung, sweet and sour pork and fried rice were all good. Big portions too. For a solo person this is portions for a 5 person meal. Staff is wonderful and attentive, prices are nicely not overpriced and it is a cute restaurant. However, it can get noisy and seating is limited. Definitely a highly recommended restaurant.“

“Time spent with a best friend“

“There are plenty of places where you can buy lunch. Panera Bread at 500 Capitol Mall gave me a reminder that the people serving it matter even more than the food.

I asked them today to prepare a $50 basket for my friends at Sacramento City Hall security. They took care of it beautifully. That experience also gave me the opportunity to talk with two people there whose attitudes toward their work deserve some attention.

Daniel, the manager, believes customer service is dying – and he wants to bring it back to life.

Not as a corporate slogan. He genuinely likes helping people.

That impression isn’t mine alone. Public reviews of this Panera repeatedly mention friendly service, good communication, cleanliness, fresh food and employees who actually remember their customers. One regular even noted that they remember her drink.

Then there is Michael, who works in the kitchen.

Michael told me that helping other people is where he finds happiness. More than that, he feels it is part of what he was put on this earth to do.

His reason is worth remembering.

The person standing in front of you may be dealing with something you cannot see.

They may be grieving. They may be frightened. They may be broke. They may be lonely. They may simply be having a terrible day.

Michael understands that making somebody’s day a little better can matter precisely because we don’t know what they are carrying.

I went looking through the public reviews afterward, and apparently other customers have noticed the quality of this location too. The 500 Capitol Mall Panera currently has a 4.4 rating from more than 460 ratings, with reviewers praising the food, service and communication.

Of course, this being the Internet, somebody’s contribution to the critical literature was:

“More bacon.”

Fair enough.

Civilization has its problems. War. Poverty. Homelessness. Climate change.

And somewhere in Sacramento, a person is confronting the great bacon shortage.

Other complaints about restaurants often make me wonder whether we have developed slightly unrealistic expectations of the people preparing our $12 sandwiches. Food service workers are human beings, not vending machines with name tags.

So I’ll add my review to the pile:

The food was good.

The basket was excellent.

But what impressed me most were Daniel and Michael – two people who have decided that serving people can still mean caring about people.

That is worth considerably more than an extra strip of bacon.“

“Who woulda thunk that a Reuben sandwich with eggs could taste amazing! The chowder was fresh tasting and soda fountain was regulated correctly!“

“I’ve had authentic Chinese food and grew up in a very prominently asian area. I know what good Chinese food is supposed to taste like and Sacramento has been overall disappointing with the Chinese food I’ve encountered. A friend told me to come here and I’m so glad she did because WOW!!! I haven’t had this deliciously authentic tasting Chinese food in AGES!!! Like, do you even understand how hard it is so have CRISPY orange chicken without overcooking the chicken inside???

And the portions were shockingly enormous which is saying something since family style Chinese food is always generous servings. I’ve paid way more for way less.

Overall the food was incredible and this is officially my new favorite Chinese place. My only qualm was they didn’t give us any fortune cookies ;_;.“

“This place has that rare magic where you walk in and instantly feel like you’ve been coming here for years. The welcome was so warm it almost felt like a family reunion, except nobody was asking me about my job or why I look tired. The whole room had a lovely, steady hum of people genuinely enjoying themselves, and I found myself smiling for no particular reason other than being there.

By the end of the meal I was full, content, and already planning my next excuse to come back. It’s not every day you find a spot that nails both the food and the feeling, but this one does it with an easy, unforced charm. I left in that happy, slightly dazed state that only a really good meal can give you, and I’m still thinking about it.“

“I stopped in at Sourdough sandwich shop for the first time. I had a Italian flatbread pizza and it was scrumptious. great service, clean establishment and really nice experience“

“The bread is awesooome. Itvsoft on the inside crusty on the outside.“

“This place is my go-to Chinese food restaurant, and has been for about (if not more than) a year now. I always find the food here delicious, and the employees very kind. Would absolutely recommend, especially the chicken fried rice and shrimp rice noodle. Those are my personal favorites“

“I love love this place food is delicious and the people are great everyone is friendly and they give you lots of food I've been eating here for like 10 years“

“reasonable price and good goods. staffs are nice“

“I have been there several times since I live close by. They specialize in chicken noodles and have good ginger dipping sauce. The soup and fresh noodles are so so good mixed with the ginger scallion sauce.

The last few times I went there, it was not busy. Perfect for me“

“🖐🏾 Good Morning, I just wanted to come on here and give an honest review. I wanted to give a big shout out and thank you to the morning crew over in Natomas (3571 N Freeway Blvd Ste 101, Sacramento, CA 95834)

They're awesome greeters in and out the door, they ask you how you doing and do you need anything. They just have natural conversations with you like you've been long time besties :)

Thank you for my BIG cup of coffee, 😉😁

If you're having a bad day and you need a pick me up, head over to the North Freeway Panera for a nice cup of coffee, a bite to eat, and some good conversation.

100% hands down, thank you my friends, from your usual customer, N. Turner.... see you in the morning (for my favorite Rocky Road Frozen Java Coffee) & have a nice day....🖐🏾🙂“

“To:

Mark who took my last minute (desperate) phone call…
April who opened the door for me and directed me to where the Sip Club drinks were located, and to MAX…who worked the MAX to clean up my BIG mess when I accidentally knocked my drink over in my haste!!! (I’m SO sorry!!).

You all were so awesome tonight and saved this (late) thirsty traveler!! And now I know Panera is closing earlier at 8:30pm instead of 9pm like a few days ago! God’s highest blessings be upon you! 🙏“

“I ordered doordash but I ordered late in the day. The food tasted like we were one of the first orders of the day. I am extremely impressed with the flavors and the quality. They could've taken the late night easy way out but didn't and my family ABSOLUTELY loved every single bite. Absolutely delicious. I wish there was a higher ranking word I could think of but I am ready for bed. Lol. Awesome food. Thank you thank you thank you.“

“Yesterday 9/11/2026 I was getting ready to have dinner with a friend at this restaurant and a cockaroach came out and was on the table. When I told the server they got rid of it but seemed like it wasn't a big deal. Then I told the person at the register and they acted like nothing. Just wanting everyone to know there is roaches in this restaurant.“
