49 Best Soup in San Diego

“We sat on the patio. I’m here from out of town and have to eat clear liquids. The gal at the checkout suggested the shiitake & daikon soup. It was delicious!!! I got some more to go. My friends ordered from the appetizers and sides menu. The portions were very generous and delicious. If I’d live here, I’d come here often.“

“Absolutely loved this Pho place! The broth was super flavorful and rich, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. The portions are generous, and the meat was really tender. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely one of the best Pho spots I’ve tried — highly recommend it! 🍜🔥“

“First time here, was pretty good. You get assigned a table; then you go up and grab your bowl to make your hotpot (at least a pound) . You can get a second bowl for skewers and hand it to the counter , I would recommend getting all your hotpot stuff first then going back for the skewers so its easier on your hands. Would go back again.“

“This is excellent Thai street food. We’ve been coming to this location for quite a while. They’ve refreshed the menu, but the same favorites are still there. We had Tom Yum soup, an order of gyoza, and two vegetable delights. It was quiet, service was great and the food is excellent. Even if you want to try Thai this is a great place to start.“

“Good food and good service as always!! We went every time when we were in San Diego. This restaurant high recommend 😋“

“Great breakfast items! Great family 💙“

“Been THE go to place for me and friend for YEARS. If we want pho no one even asks which place, it's always pho cow cali, good prices(14ish dollars), large sizes and good mix-ins. Plenty of good options aside from pho as well, simply the perfect place.“

“Quality of their Ramen, the flavor, and variety.“

“Wow! Being from Texas it’s hard to compete in my opinion with our Tex-Mex but the food here is absolutely wonderful! If I am ever in San Diego again…. Definitely will be back!“

“delicious food! all of it“

“Came here for lunch with my mom. There was still plenty of parking at 11 AM. We were seated right away. Ordered the cold noodle soup and mom had the spicy beef soup with vegetables. Both soups were delicious. The bon chons were very tasty and fresh as well. A definite go to for good comfort soups.“

“I asked my friends to send me a photo of everything we ordered, none of us were able to take a snapshot of the mouth watering food that was placed in front of us. The French fries were perfect, shawarma wrap was perfect, burger PERFECT. I wish LA had a spot with shawarma as juicy and flavorful as Harissa’s“

“it was perfect. and I was visiting from Illinois. so good experience.“

“This place was so good, it’s up there now as one of my favorite pho’s. I got the chicken pho, the chicken pieces in there were perfect without any fat or hard grizzly bits. Their broth has really good flavor, seasoned well. I also tried their chicken banh mi and the bread was perfect, the chicken was seasoned well and it was overall very satisfying.“

“When it’s cold and rainy or you just want some hot food to warm you up or test if you’s taste still works!!! Best place to be“

“Eaten here numerous times. Excellent quality food, and service. Equivalent to San Francisco Bay Area Japanese restaurants..which are outstanding.“

“If you're looking for quality Korean BBQ, then look no further than SongHak! We have come several times now, and we are always impressed by the quality of the food here.

Our favorite items to order are the Combo #3 as it gives a good variety of meats. You can see how beautiful the marbling is on the meat even before it's cooked, and you'll know you've made the right choice eating here!

We like getting some of their other menu items like Tteokbokki and Kimchi Pancake that tie the meal all together nicely.

Would definitely recommend coming to Songhak for a great Korean BBQ meal!“

“ATTENTION YELPERS! I FOUND THE BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN SAN DIEGO!!!

Just Kidding...

Not Kidding...this gigantic national chain serving up unauthentic, sodium loaded and ultra processed Italian food isn't all that bad, and a great value! The unlimited soup and bread sticks is middle and lower class family's perfect dream, and my dream...I devoured 3 bowls of soup and 3 bread sticks before touching my entree!

$24.50 Tour of Italy...The Chicken Parmesan had a nice hot crispy breading engulfing the juicy tender white chicken breast. The lasagna was robust, flavorful, with great blend of sauce, cheese, and pasta. The fettuccine alfredo is exactly how you would imagine it. Great value overall considering the 3 bowls of soup I devoured.“

“Hole in the wall Chinese food. Nuff said.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and it still feels the same today as it did back then. It's a small, cramped Chinese/ Vietnamese restaurant with a lousy parking lot. Service is minimal but the new staff friendly enough. There was auntie in the corner speaking loudly on her FaceTime call while making dumplings. Felt just like home.

There are about 10 tables inside and the menu has a variety of Chinese inspired dishes.

The must get here is definitely the egg noodles with wonton and char sui.

We tried the specialty honey walnut shrimp and it was a let down. Soggy shrimp with very little sauce.

The fried chicken leg was crispy and savory and the fried rice was very yummy. Definitely recommend these 2 dishes and the egg noodles!

Overall this place offers a lot of value, but I would stick with the fried rice or noodles dishes. Good lucking finding parking!“

“BEST HIDDEN GEM EVER!! Our server (forgot his name) was so chill and awesome to talk to! The pho was immaculate and the Thai tea was so delicious, it brought me back to memory lane! The vibe here is so chill and I love the atmosphere of it! 11/10 for those needing something healthy and tasty late at night! Will come visit again for more! 😋“

“Food came out quickly. Good quality.“

“Definitely my favorite thai place in all f California! There level thee is hot and apicy lot of flavors… quiet spot and attentive staff… will be back! We got chx padd thai extra sauce med spice alont with a secone dish of the twins chx and shrimp
Dish spicy on that one was great!“

“Olive Garden never disappoints! We truly enjoyed our dinner—the food was delicious, and the complimentary soup and salad were a perfect start to the meal with bread. We began with the Stuffed Ziti Fritta as an appetizer, followed by Fettuccine Alfredo and the Grilled Chicken Margherita. The portions were very generous—more than enough for two people.
The service was excellent, the food quality was great, and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely a must-visit place for a satisfying meal. 🍝✨“

“BEST JAPANESE BBQ SPOT EVER! My family have been consistently coming to this resturant for years to celebrate any special occasions or birthdays. The meat, rice, side dishes, and rice are always delicious. The staff are welcoming, accomodating, and even recognize my family now. I highly reccomend the family combo as it offers a good balance of beef variety and value, especially for larger parties. The portions are not the largest and on the pricier side but I think it's worth it for the quality over quantity. Free parking but it's difficult to find available spots especially at night, as expected of Convoy tho. The restroom is nothing special, single room, and in the back next to the kitchen. Will definitely continue to eat here !!“

“My main reason for stopping in was to use the print kiosk; however, I decided to grab a 12 ounce French roast. I'm glad I did. Dark but not bitter. Not too acidic. The atmosphere of this cafe is awesome. Some cool art posted for sale. Fair price on the coffee. It was less than $3 before tip. Cashier was really friendly in answering my questions. Thanks!“

“If you want to have real Colombian food without cutting any corners, this is the place! I have visited the restaurant several times, and each time it is a do over. I was born in Cali, Colombia in 1961, and the flavor of the food reminds me what real Colombian food taste like. The staff is friendly, and the owner is a very special, hard-working woman. Hats off to her and her business. I recommend this restaurant. Dr. Fernando Garay San Diego“

“I love their bright, modern-minimalist interior! They have comfy chairs and booths with a nice assortment of plants for decor. I enjoyed a wonderful lunch here (highly recommend the chipotle chicken Gouda panini—so delicious!!). I appreciate how this bistro is very affordable, especially compared to other places, while maintaining superior quality of food. Honestly one of the better paninis I’ve had, and at a much cheaper price! Service with a smile here; the staff are so friendly.“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“

“They’re a great family run business. Their food is delicious. Especially the bacon wrapped shrimp. Off the chain. A must go.“

“My children and I all ordered the same thing 'carne asada torta' with a side of French fries. I didn't like the salsa very much but that was just personal preferences. The Tamarindo drink tasted watered down and was lacking flavor.“

“My husband and I love this place !! We live in University city and AAHARN restaurant is the best Thai restaurant in University city. We have tried so many dishes such as Lamb massaman, Neu Nam Tok, Chicken biryani. We love them all! Our server was very nice and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant. ♥️♥️♥️“

“Brilliant place the quiet little shop peaceful and so clean. Great customer service helpful and polite. The wild rice and chicken soup is the best I ever had I love introducing people to this place. Only set back is limited locations o wish they had one closer to to 8 freeway near mission valley or maybe Southpark.“

“Food at this place is authentically Nigerian. The jollof rice was great and the goat meat very flavorful. The pepper soup is only for the brave, it's fiery and is guaranteed to cure a cold- at least that's my theory.Also, great energy from the owners. You can tell that they'll do great things with the place.“

“Wicked West is a multi purpose venue for a good time. They have a great bar with great bartenders. We've had a few parties there and always had a great time. Also they have a in door area and outdoor area for private events. It's spacious and has great decor.“

“First time trying Szechuan House and will be coming back. The Szechuan garlic beef is very delicious, we ordered an extra order to go. The salt and pepper squid and salt and pepper tofu were also good. We are very satisfied with our meal and the attentive customer service.“

“We celebrated my mother-in-law’s 70th birthday at Chin’s, and it was absolutely wonderful! The food was delicious as always, and the service was outstanding. Everyone enjoyed their meals and had a fantastic time. A special thank you to the manager and our servers for going above and beyond to make the event so special!!!“

“I ordered Dan Dan noodles and cold spicy chicken for take out. The noodles were ok but the chicken was very delicious.

It’s my first time inside. It was traditional Chinese decoration. I’m impressed with the entrance. I’ll have to dine in soon and try other dishes.“

“Small little place off Convoy, park off of the street as this little center has terrible parking and it's busy from early morning to closing time. This place was good, I had pork fried rice with pickled veggies and beef with veggies and some sauce. Was supposed to be spicy, but wasn't spicy for me.“

“The pho was hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had—rich, aromatic broth that was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked to perfection, soaking up all that deliciousness.“

“Got take out from here yesterday. Pork bahn mi and chicken curry. Bahn mi was great, would order again. Curry was much more similar to chicken noodle soup (Without the noodles) than any curry i've had before. Was still good, just not what i was expecting.“

“Kiin Extraordinary Thai truly lives up to its name. The flavors are bold, authentic, and beautifully balanced, every dish tastes thoughtfully crafted and full of fresh ingredients. From their rich curries to the perfectly seasoned noodles and vibrant appetizers, everything is consistently delicious and packed with real Thai flavor.

The atmosphere is warm and stylish, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. Portions are generous, presentation is excellent, and the quality stands out every time.

If you’re craving Thai food that feels elevated without losing its authenticity, Kiin Extraordinary Thai is an absolute must-visit. Exceptional food, great service, and an overall memorable dining experience.“

“🙂👍 Kai and her staff are awesome and do a great job!“

“loved the chai tea latte Mostly that they have had tables out for some time and now indoor.... but it was so nice that we sat outside“

“I really like the vibe, is it good for working and seating alone also for hanging out. But for working it is not super quiet but still good for me.
I love their chicken bbq sandwich and cesar salad.
Also the hazelnut coffee is really good.
Orders get ready really fast and is great for having a quick snack especially because you can order half sized sandwiches and …“

“Panera Bread has consistently good quality food, a varied menu, and customization offerings. The personnel are welcoming, hard working, personable and professional. The dining room is well maintained and clean (tables and floor/carpet) and the trash/dirty dishes area is attended to frequently. The seasonal menu specialties are always fun.
JUAN is the BEST. I misplaced my phone and Juan stopped to personally assist me actively- he found it! A wonderful kindness to a traveling person panicking over a temporarily missing phone. Thank you again Juan!“

“This has to be my favorite location by far. They never disappoint, from there friendly customer service ,fresh pastries, bread bowls they deliver. Keep up the awesome work!“

“Awesome service, great prices, wonderful food and friendly service staff.“

“The food is not only good but also healthy. I also like that they have WI-FI connections. Sign up for membership rewards. You get discounts or free stuff, especially if you have a birthday.“
