50 Best Soup in San Diego

“The pho was amazing! I honestly don’t like pho that much, but this place has a unique broth and huge portions. The drinks are super authentic, too! The servers, Trinity and Kevin, are super friendly and kind. I recommend this place.“

“Very Good Food, had the Sparerib plate, egg rolls, Daikon Soup, and Lemon Cake for Dessert! absolutely delicious.“

“Taiwanese hot pot, you choose the ingredients and the broth, they promptly cook it for you. If you appreciate deep soup flavors, and love meat, you can eat here for $15-20 per person. Simple atmosphere, basic service. 5 stars because it’s delicious.“

“This Pho Cow Cali is so delicious! It is one of the best pho places I've ever tried in SoCal! *Besides Orange County*. I ordered to go and there was a lot of people waiting outside, but I got my to go order in 5 mins?!? FAST SERVICE and kind service. The pho is so delicious.“

“delicious food! all of it“

“I live in Spring Valley, so it’s quite a drive for me, but honestly, the distance is not an issue at all when the food is this good! 😍

I’m a huge fan of Som Tum, and they make it exactly the way I like it so flavorful, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The Thai ramen is also really good and definitely worth trying.

This has easily become one of my favorite places for Thai food. I highly recommend this restaurant! If you haven’t tried it yet, you definitely should. You won’t be disappointed! ❤️🇹🇭“

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

“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 💙“

“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!“

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

“I’m not a huge fan of Korean food but this place was amazing. Really nice if you come with friends to try a lot of dishes. We had bossam and oxtail soup and Korean pancake along with bulgogi in stone pot.

The side dishes were good and it was nice they had the World Cup on. Would come again, just parking can vary in that lot but that’s most of the area“

“We had an outstanding experience at Olive Garden thanks to Ari, our server, and Jesse, our food runner. Ari was incredibly attentive, professional, and proactive throughout our entire meal. We never had to ask for refills, extra napkins, or anything else. He was always one step ahead and made sure everything was perfect.

Jesse was equally impressive, delivering food promptly and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The teamwork between them was exceptional.

This was honestly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had, and it surpassed the level of service we’ve received at some fine dining restaurants. Their attention to detail, friendliness, and genuine care for the customer made all the difference. We will definitely be back and hope to be served by them again!“

“I love this place it’s food is amazing and the staff is very kind. Curry soup is the best thing on the menu.“

“I’ve tried quite a few Korean spots in San Diego, and Song Hak is definitely one I’d come back to.

Their Korean food is really good overall, but the stone pot bibimbap was probably my favorite. It came out super hot, and I loved how the rice at the bottom got crispy from the stone bowl. Mix everything together with the sauce and it’s just so comforting and satisfying.

Everything we ordered tasted fresh and flavorful, and it honestly felt like one of those meals where you keep eating even when you’re already full 😂

Definitely a solid spot when you’re craving Korean food!“

“This restaurant came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. I tried the Roast Duck Noodle Soup and Walnut Shrimp. The duck was really delicious with a very nice broth. Every bite was a delight. I enjoyed the shrimp - plump and juicy with a lightly citrus white sauce and roasted walnuts. I would order it again, but there are a lot of items on their extensive menu that I would also like to try. Very nice, low key service. Clean and pleasant dining room.“

“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.“

“This place was SOOO good! Everything was packed with flavor, and you can truly tell every dish is made with care. The food tasted fresh, authentic, and was honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time.
What made the experience even better was the people. You can tell it's family-run because everyone was so kind, welcoming, and treated us like we were guests in their own home. They made us feel comfortable from the moment we walked in, and that kind of hospitality is hard to find these days.
If you're looking for amazing food with incredible flavor and a place that feels like home, I highly recommend checking this restaurant out. We will definitely be coming back!“

“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 !!“

“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“

“Food came out quickly. Good quality.“

“My son took me out for my birthday. He had the staff sing me happy birthday and brought me a very good piece of chocolate cake. Very smooth and delicious. I had the chicken alfredo, very delicious. I love the bread and the salad too. I sipped on my slushie mango margarita. So good. I had a very good time celebrating my birthday at Olive garden.“

“可以吃到上海的生煎包，很Nice.味道很正宗.非常值得推薦“

“I’ve been going to lestats since I was just a child really. I haven’t been since 2018 maybe when we moved. But I can tell you I’ve known horrible humans in my life not by choice. But fate led me to John a sweet gay man who ran a 24/7 coffee house. And I’ve loved coffee since age 5. When times were hard a lonely girl could get a hot cup of coffee and use the wifi even and hang out. John took in many of us. I was one of the pre 98-2006 post crew that practically lived here. Idk why John never charged us rent he truly should’ve! Hell he probably could’ve for our cars even. I was pregnant here. They fed me when I was hungry. They kept us warm in the cold months. Lestats was always a shelter in the storm we call life. I was but a passenger for a while. John let me park my Honda accord out back for some time when an alternator wasn’t the only problem even. When I think of angels and I think of gods I think of folks like John. They gave us life without even knowing it. My daughters 20 this year and we’re both alive because of John’s goodness and kindness he has a huge heart most have no clue. He’s just the sweetest man. He was a woven interact part of my life. He’s one of those people who is why I am here today. Because when I needed a safe place in the storm we call life. I could lean on Lestats and John. Whom I knew well. To think my neighbor would lead me here he worked there eventually and was a lady’s man 😂 Travis was his name and I laugh cuz I knew that boy from just a little boy. To see him become a man and even a dad around when I was a mom. Seemed then something was surely in the water 😂 or so we’d all joked. Maybe it was just knowing we had a safe place to land for awhile that truly helped us all survive. But a huge part of that was John! So thank you John. Idk if you remember me or not. But I was that blonde girl with short hair and a damaged heart. 90s-2006 was my life there then I’d come when I was in town very rare then. But I always loved your veggie chili and your sandwiches. And the coffee ☕️ gosh if I miss anything from San Diego it’s Lestats and their amazing teas and coffee and food. Because when I had no home even I always had a safe place to go when the storm of life was crushing me. I met a boy in 2006 and disappeared really. But John was always like family for me. So I wanna thank him for being the light in the dark for a young street kid. Who didn’t have much but I always had enough for a cup of coffee and some safe space to enjoy it. I know it’s been 20 yrs because my baby is 20 now. But we wouldn’t be here without John. Thank you for being a safe place for us in life’s storms.“

“pho was awesome , service was phenomenal. i’m not sure his name but he worked a late night tonight, even with the restaurant almost closed, he gave excellent service. even gave us a phone stand to let me and my friend watch our show!!! he’s awesome. pho was great too with great flavor. they were very generous with the bean sprouts, basil, etc, my fav!“

“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.“

“I luv this place! Delicious, affordable and perfectly portioned sizes! Also, I want to share that in a half-asleep stupor, I completely forgot to mention in the instructions to make my Pad Thai vegan and ended up receiving it with eggs. To my surprise, they kindly offered to make me a vegan one at no charge! Also, when I went to return the original one, the vegan one was already ready!—So fast!
They didn’t have to do all that and they did! I’m so grateful for this place! Highly recommend!“

“love the cabernet vinaigrette. you guys should sell this!!!!“

“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.“

“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. ♥️♥️♥️“

“My first time going here in September 2025 was so awesome, booked a trip again in November 2025 just to eat here again. Ok, I lied. I did not book the 2nd trip just to eat here but we did eat here twice when we went back to San Diego.

It's that good. Prices are reasonable, portions are amazing! So much food relative to the price. It's very delicious. We got the spicy crispy chicken (forgot what's it called), spicy fried fish, spicy lamb/beef dish with cilantro and dumplings. Everything was so good. I'm from Massachusetts and I thought this was one of the best Sichuan food I've had.

We're planning on going back whenever we're back in town.“

“Amazing 🔥love this place ! I’ll be back over and over . It’s been a while since I been as a young lady but it’s Comming back just as good!“

“Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUMMMM in my TUMMMY!!!!!!! This is the best place us the best to get the best taste and tacos and soup!!! The chicken tortilla soup was delicious 🤤 and a very perfect amount of spice!! The tacos are delicious too and I go here all the time because it’s so good!! 😊 🎉😋😋😋😋I recommend this place SOO much and the churros are amazing 🤩 thus food is like a roller coaster for my tongue 👅“

“Great meal tonight, love thid place“

“This is located inside H Mart. They have a little good court at the entrance. My mom ordered the pork soft tofu soup and I ordered the beef soft tofu soup. soups were very good and tasty. The bonchons were incredible. My mom loved the fried fish especially/. This is a definitely go to place for tofu soup. will come back again to try other dishes“

“Absolutely love the food here. Bread is fresh, sandwiches are excellent.
But six years ago, a grilled chicken Banh Mi was $5, four years ago it was $7, now's it's $12. I understand a small increase here or there but please stop raising the prices every year, I can't keep up with these increases, I can't afford to keep coming back!“

“by far THE BEST THAI FOOD I have ever had!! We ordered the pineapple fried rice, massaman curry, pad thai, and drunken noodles this has been the best I have ever tasted! So flavorful and tasty! the egg rolls were so good! the sauces are free from fish and oyster sauce but you can't even tell! I HIGHLY recommend this place. I don't think most people could handle a spice level higher than medium (3/10), the food is pretty spicy.“

“🙂👍 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“

“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.“

“Follow-up / Positive Update: Improved Coffee & Service at Panera 4S Ranch
​Hello,
​I previously reached out regarding concerns about the coffee quality at your 4S Ranch location. I wanted to take a moment to provide a follow-up, as I believe credit should be given where it is due.
​I have noticed a significant improvement in both the coffee quality and the overall service recently. The Dark Roast is back to the standard I expect from Panera—fresh and properly brewed.
​Furthermore, the atmosphere at this location has improved immensely thanks to the new team. I’d like to specifically highlight Jordan, who has been providing exceptional service. It makes a real difference when the staff is both professional and welcoming.
​Thank you for addressing the previous issues. It’s great to be able to enjoy my coffee at the 4S Ranch location again.
​Best regards
A“

“El macarrony y ensaladas y las sopas deliciosas“

“The store was not at all busy when we went during dinner hour. We were surprised. Perhaps it the location—it's in the parking lot of a hotel. Our food came out practically immediately. The dining area and restrooms were visibly clean.

Overall, I don't recommend Panera (the chain) due to multiple locations messing up my orders numerous times, which is concerning because my order is always flagged and modified for allergies. So I didn't even bother ordering and eating here, but the rest of my group enjoyed their food.“

“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!“

“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.“

“The both is so delicious. The food is good home made cooking. This is my new spot to come and eat. I recommend it to anyone. Come enjoy great food.“

“Nice vibe love the food 🥘“

“love love going there Leo he works here and he always welcomes us me and my sister ❤️ give him a raise he's a awsome person“
