43 Best Soup near Santa Monica

“The Baseline: For a seafood fast casual restaurant the fish/seafood needs to be fresh, the presentation of the food should be comforting and respect the delicacy of the seafood, and there must be a selection of accompanying offerings.

Food: The lobster is high quality here and the preparation is excellent. The Lobster Roll sampler is really good to try the different preparations. The full lobster roll is meaty and filling. The chips are nice but wish I had fries. The soda selection is awesome (got a Maine Blueberry soda). The price is what you get when you order the lobster.

Service: Counter order deliver to your table service. Good and efficient.

Ambiance: The restaurant is really well presented and has good decor. The bathroom was clean. The seating was well laid out and the lighting was good in the restaurant. Unfortunately, the outside is Santa Monica 2025 and is sketchy at night (not the restaurant’s fault)“

“We went on a rainy day and with our pet. They accommodated us on the side patio that was covered and away from other guests. The service was very smooth and the food was excellent. We were checked in on periodically and not too often. Exactly as it should be. The dishes we ordered came our very well prepared and tasty! We would definitely return in the future.“

“Very affordable and generous portions. I really enjoyed the dumplings and the Pad Thai. The rice felt a bit plain, and they don’t serve much tofu—it’s actually very little. I’d say one dish is enough for two people. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-12“

“Glad Hurry Curry has reopened after closing their Sawtelle location. if you are new and don't know what to order, try the chicken cutlet curry and the Chicken pasta with Alfredo sauce. The curry is bold and savory. make sure to request picked vegetables for the curry. the chicken pasta is also rich and savory. both dishes complement each other without repeating the same experience. the portions are large so bring friends or bring home plenty of portions for leftovers.“

“Nice service and good food 🍱“

“The Studio City location will always be the best option for ramen. Parking has never been an issue and that is a rarity! Such a gem after concerts, a trip to Universal or any night out. Incredibly convenient location and always the friendliest staff!“

“Excellent Japanese food. I got takeout: the Gindara Saikyoyaki Bento. It was delightful. Excellent service.

I'm going to have to come back because it's a lovely spot, and I want to actually sit and enjoy in the establishment next time.

Highly recommend. And El Segundo is a very pleasant, calm downtown to visit if you're waiting around for a flight, like I was. It can be fun to go up to Venice where all the excitement is, but I'm grateful that I had a nice calm afternoon in El Segundo this time. And my fantastic supper here was part of it.“

“I went here after a dental appointment to get something easy to eat. The soups are delicious! While they’re a little on the pricier side (we paid about $30 for two people), I feel they’re worth the cost. They’re made fresh with quality ingredients, flavors are well balanced, and my leftovers kept really well.

Will be visiting again!“

“I’ve had pho in about 6 different states. This was the best I’ve ever had! Bravo! You guys deserve it! Thanks for letting us visit! 🍲“

“The stars aligned. We were overjoyed to find a BOB vegan restaurant, inspired by grandcestor Dr. Sebi's alkaline nutritional guide. Highly recommend Beyond Vegan - Culver City. The food was flavorful. My friend ordered the namesake quesadillas, and I ordered the jackfruit tacos with mango salsa. Double the flavor - we shared our meals. Yum! The portions were large, filling, and pleased my soul. What I thought to be a side of mashed sweet potatoes was warm, smooth mashed beans. Tacos and quesadillas on point. Purple wild rice was a delightful surprise. Diversity in texture, flavor, colors, and quality ingredients. No better way to catch up with a friend than eating outdoors at Beyond Vegan!“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“Test its by yourself.clean foods and good service“

“We always try to get there before the line shows up, 5:30ish. Sneak in, split the combo between two people and really dig into the various sides (fish skin, kimchi, broccoli, etc.) that come up with the soup and entree.

Staff is always on point and delightful“

“I came in on 05/10/2025 around 5pm.

Food: Tried their Tsukemen for the first time. It was served with two tender slices of pork and marinated egg. The broth was thick and salty, pairs so well with the jumbo ramen noodles.
They have a new Fried Calamari appetizer on the menu, it comes with I believe a sriracha mayo dip. The batter was well seasoned and the calamari itself is not rubbery. The batter got burned a bit, but I do not mind at all.

Service: It was perfect. The staff were attentive.

Atmosphere: The dining space was clean. Gives off a typical Ramen Restaurant vibe. It has counter seating.

Overall the food tasted great. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.
I don't go to Tsujita anymore for Tsukemen. Kai Ramen all the way.“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“They have the most amazing soups! Healthy and delicious! Plus they have amazing customer service!“

“Nong La has a dedicated Canto Viet man diligently directing the back of the house day in and day out, making sure the food hits their level of comfortable consistent cuisine, which won’t exactly blow minds or taste buds, but fills an exotic unfamiliar question mark into a manageable modern meal. But there’s this really Skinny Canto Viet lady bossing a bunch of diverse ppl around… she’s kinda scary at times and fiery at times… I suspect Nong La (Nong La means Burning) was named after the hot heat came from her own… hot… …..!😉🤓🔥🥵)“

“I have been eating at this restaurant for the last 5 years and I absolutely love the yellow chicken curry. It's actually the only thing I've ever gotten and I've gotten it over 60 times. I just tried the pad Thai chicken noodles last night for the first time and although it tasted really great, I noticed my heart was racing a little bit after I ate it which only happens when I consume MSG. I seem to be the only one in my family that is sensitive to MSG, but I definitely feel it. There's been many studies about how MSG is not very healthy for most people so I'm leaving this comment in hopes that pad Thai on Beverly follows what many other restaurants are doing and removes MSG as an ingredient in certain dishes. Luckily, they do not use MSG in the yellow chicken curry. Again, this is a really amazing restaurant.“

“Love love... me and my sons fave...“

“Excellent place to eat and take away too!!! The waitress was very friendly and we ordered 4 rolls to try since it was the first time. We took the combo 3 rolls for 21, and lobster pop roll, they were super, very good flavor and well reported, it's more filling than rice ❤️ and we love that, it was to go but they gave us a delicious complimentary cherry flavor ice cream, delicious no We expected it and it was a ?we definitely recommend it. Super clean and welcoming and they are attentive to needs without feeling harassed. ??????“

“The best Chinese in L.A !!! Always fresh & made to order.. excellent service too!“

“THE BEST PHO 🍜 ever. I travel the country and I’m a good snob. This is home cooking, unique…and absolutely delicious. Please treat yourself and go!“

“The selection of vegetables, salad, meat chips and wraps are what sold me!! Very healthy and tasty! They also have drinks without sugar!!“

“This Olive Garden location is a nice, family-friendly restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It’s a great place to enjoy a casual meal with loved ones. The staff is usually friendly, and the classic Italian-American dishes like pasta, soup, and salad are consistently satisfying.“

“Great salads and wonderful service. will definitely be returning.“

“GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE ON TOP OF THE ABSOLUTE DELI FOOD - VERY PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT <3“

“Food is Amazing and Staff treats you like family. Been goung here since 1996 . My Favorite is the Chicken Enchildas with Hreen Sauce.“

“If you want good quality meet Los jalisciences
Market has great carne asada and seasoned meat . It’s a small place and they have a restaurant in the back thats pretty big never tried their food so I can’t tell anything but I see a lot of people there . Parking is very small and annoying but I live like 35 minutes away and I will go out my way to go there .“

“Banh Mi branches at SM Davao and Lanang superb! Great customer service. Def my new favorite eats. Love their drinks too.“

“Great food that you might experience at someones home“

“Good neighborhood Mexican food.“

“It was really hot when I decided to go to the La Grove farmers market so I decided what could be better than a cold refreshing juice! I got the Green Sunset which was 10/10 , made right in front of me, however it is a bit pricey but worth it!“

“Delicious food! The shrimp fried rice, the potstickers and the spring rolls were amazing! We will become regulars..“

“We had early dinner there today. Wonton soup was delicious. Chicken in garlic sauce was extremely tasty and vegetable noodles was succulent. The service was utmost friendly and polite. Thank you.“

“I also order for take out but the service has been fast and friendly. My food is always on time and hot. The food is nothing short of amazing. I have had duck fried rice and duck fried soup. The flavor is one of a kind. I rave about this place to everyone I know. Really good food.“

“A very authentic Vietnamese restaurant with rich dishes and great taste. It is worth recommending“

“The food is ok, We went during a weekday and there was no wait seated right away the service was great. We had a nice server who made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us repeatedly.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu, and the portion size was pretty big for the price.“

“Hidden gem in the mall!! It is located in the 3rd level of Bloomingdale's. They have really good burgers and fries ! I tend to usually get the half salad/half soup/half sandwich option (you get to pick 2 out of the 3). Their service is normally amazing unless they are understaffed at the moment and they happen to get busy during that time. Must try their frozen yogurt at least once, i recommend the plain tart, with raspberry sauce and almonds.“

“It’s only 4 stars because of the initial service. I ordered online for delivery, I was feeding 10 people and ordered 12 items. Delivery went as well as expected, but an item was missing. When I called to ask if the item was being brought to us I was told that we needed to go pick it up. I explained that I couldn’t and that was the reason why I had ordered for delivery and wanted the item. The lady said they couldn’t deliver it so I told her I would be writing a negative review and she genuinely felt nervous but she still couldn’t deliver the orange chicken. Eventually my wife drove over to pick up the item and they were more than apologetic, gave us two extra dishes and free sodas. We’ll definitely go back as our favorite restaurant closed down and needed a new go to place. Hopefully service will be better next time and I’ll update it to 5 stars!“

“This is a quick stop to get some Mediterranean food large portions child friendly I do recommend“

“The best restaurant for lunch in Encino !“
