49 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.“

“Second time here and it didn’t disappoint. The original beef bone broth is rich, flavorful, and packed with authentic spicy kick. The fried skewers are crispy, fragrant, and perfectly done. Great quality, generous portions, and consistently delicious. Definitely one of my go-to spots for malatang.“

“Stopped by here for dinner, we had the number 1 basically everything in it, broth was good and plenty of meat, we also got the egg rolls which was also very tasty, only thing that was so/so was the ube boba next time we will try the thai flavor, but all in all the best place to get pho in San Diego“

“delicious food! all of it“

“Friendly service. The rice was good. The chicken noodle soup was shockingly bland. The broth didn't taste like anything. It seemed like the noodles, chicken, and vegetables were added to the broth right before serving; they were bland too. The portion size was fine and it was filling, but I wouldn't order it again. The soup is never this boring at other Thai restaurants.“

“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.“

“Slurping the good stuff @woomiok in Convoy! 🥢 Their Emperor Soup is simmered for hours and loaded with oxtail, brisket, cheek meat, and shank. 🐮🥣 Nutrient-dense, rich in flavor, and the perfect cure-all for any day of the week. 🧘‍♀🔥 #sdfoodieluver #dailypost“

“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’m giving 5 stars, despite the price. This might be the most expensive place in the San Diego area to get a bowl of pho. However the broth is sooooo gooooooood. And the cuts of meat are super premium. I come to this place DESPITE the price, if that gives you any idea.“

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

“Staying in the area for the weekend, so we tried this place and it was so good! We got sweet and sour chicken, spicy garlic beef, house fried rice and dumplings. Everything was very good, and big family style portions. Our server was very nice and friendly, I would definitely come back here.“

“This is probably my first review without photos because honestly everyone else already uploaded plenty. I don't even think this place needs my review, but Yelp said I only needed one more review to unlock some Korean Restaurant badge, so here I am thinking about SongHak again haha. This place is seriously clean, and the staff are always polite, respectful, and attentive to both the food and the customers. I usually come here for date nights with my wife or family dinners. Honestly, imagine enjoying good BBQ and cold beer on the weekend, then walking around Convoy afterward... life feels pretty great sometimes.
Wishing the business continued success and that the food quality always stays this good. Oh and parking around Convoy during meal hours is an absolute nightmare but luckily I'm an angel at finding parking haha.“

“This restaurant provides a consistently great experience every time I visit. The food is always fresh, tasty, and well-prepared, with balanced flavors that suit a wide range of preferences. The service is quick, efficient, and very polite. The restaurant itself is clean, organized, and comfortable. Whether dining alone or with family, it’s always a satisfying experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for good food and reliable service.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Long time fan of the OG and this is by far my best experience to date. Rekha is phenomenal, her service was top tier. She nearly read our minds and brought us everything we needed before we even thought about it. 10/10 OG and the breadsticks were so fresh each round.. all 4 rounds“

“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 !!“

“I don’t write reviews often but Tasty Noodle House was a great experience. The beef brisket noodle soup was very tasty, especially the broth and noodles, my only complaint being that the meat was a bit dry but other than that it was delicious. I also ordered the braised pork belly but didn’t take any pictures of it, it was perfectly cooked and very tasty.
The staff was also very accommodating and helpful. I mistakenly ordered the wrong thing on accident and they were very understanding and brought over the dish I had meant to order. The food was delivered relatively quick as well, so great service. Definitely a place i’d recommend and return to.“

“This was my first time coming in and they are severely short staffed and understocked. The older woman seemed to be struggling to keep up with food and drink orders as it looked as though she was the only one working. Both times we had ordered food we were recommended items were not available and as far as the smoothies were advised only two of the several options were available. This was also at 11 AM so I just found it a little odd it was early in the day and they weren't prepped or stocked on supplies on a Tuesday. Due to short food stock too the lady slightly rolled her eyes at one point when we agreed to wait the 15 minutes for both breakfast croissants. I will not come back here; I'll take a crack at the liquor store/deli spot next time.“

“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“

“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.“

“Spicy House is always on my must-visit list whenever I’m in San Diego, and it never disappoints! My favorites have always been their signature Hunan-style dishes mainly Mapo Tofu and Steamed Fish garnished with spicy sauce are absolutely outstanding. Every dish we ordered was incredibly flavorful and fresh. The spice levels were spot on for our taste buds—bold and authentic without being overwhelming. The consistency in taste and quality keeps me coming back every time I visit San Diego. Highly recommend Spicy House to anyone looking for delicious and authentic Chinese cuisine especially with the Hunan touch!“

“I’m still thinking about the food from Chin's Szechwan. The Hunan chicken with black bean sauce was so addicting—bold, savory, and packed with flavor. I honestly couldn’t stop eating it and keep craving it even after the meal.

The sweet and sour pork was also a standout, especially because it was boneless, which made it so easy and enjoyable to eat. Even the bok choy with mushrooms completely surprised me—it tasted amazing on its own and didn’t feel like just a side dish at all.

Everything was flavorful, well-cooked, and super satisfying. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to.“

“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 👅“

“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.“

“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“

“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. ♥️♥️♥️“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“
