16 Best Soup in San Francisco

Rusty Ladle Soup • $
3645 Lawton St, San Francisco

“The Rusty Ladle has completely won me over! Their soup selection is outstanding — there’s something for everyone, and you can taste the difference that fresh, quality ingredients make in every single bowl. The broths are rich and flavorful, and the variety keeps me coming back again and again.

What really sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they serve — they make you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in.

If you’re a soup lover (or even if you’re not yet), do yourself a favor and visit the Rusty Ladle. You won’t be disappointed!“

“The Peking duck was fabulous and juicy! We got a half, which we were surprised how little it was. We should have had a full. You have to reserve the duck before you get there.

We had a meat roll I think it was. It was amazing! My friends mom doesn’t like spicy so we got this roll. Highly recommend! Lots of veggies and excellent sauce!“

“Run, do not walk, to Luke’s and order the lobster, crab and shrimp roll sampler. Everything was amazing from the service to the food. The seafood was so fresh and tasty, the bread rolls are like Chinese egg bread and they top it off we chips (if you don’t like too much salt get the original sea salt ones).
We stopped for a late lunch and had to skip dinner!“

What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. Our server carried the hot bowl of pho like it was nothing , I touched it for a second and it was really hot, so I was honestly amazed!

The staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Our server was very attentive, and even the manager came by to check on us, helped fix our plates, and made sure everything was perfect. That level of care made us feel really special.“

“Daeho Kalbijjim & Beef Soup in San Francisco is a standout for authentic Korean comfort food, especially their signature premium kalbijjim—a massive, shareable braised short rib dish packed with deep, rich flavor that’s easily enough for more than two people and well worth the slightly higher price; the bibimbap is also solid, though the meat portion can feel a bit underwhelming even when paying extra, but overall it remains a go-to spot for hearty, satisfying Korean cuisine in SF.“

The normal tonkotsu ramen is also decorous. I liked the cucumber appetizer with some kind of chili garlic onion topping - refreshing and a nice starter to a heavy carb meal that follows.“

“I'm just trying places that are supposed to have good hot and sour soup. The one here is vegetarian with strong sour flavor. I like the addition of seafood mushrooms to it. The white pepper flavor is strong. It's pretty good and priced at about $9.50 +tax for a 2 quart container that is not quite full.“

“So good! They have many different combinations of dumpling fillings. We went with the three treasures, and the mushroom & chicken filling, one with soup and one without, they were both so good. The soup that it comes with is filled with seaweed, and a light savory broth. I highly suggest adding vinegar to the broth to bring out the flavor even more. And you make your own dipping sauce at the table for your dumplings as well.

Service was great, and the food came out quickly. Plenty of seating, with wall decorations.“

“I went to this restaurant on the recommendation of the woman at the front desk of the hotel Zetta. I started with the turmeric dill catfish sandwich and fresh salad.

I made the mistake of not reading the menu carefully and ate half a jalapeño before I realized the temperature wasn’t the only heat.

The waitress gave me a Thai iced tea on the house to help me with the spice. I also had a banana pudding with peanut topping pie for the sweetness.

Once I learned that the green pepper was a jalapeño, I took it out of the second half and finished the sandwich fine.

I sat by the window and watched over a dozen scooter drivers in helmets pick up delivery orders while I was there. That reminded me of Spider-Man delivering pizzas on the back of his bike in the city.

Considering the prime location, the prices are very reasonable.“
