50 Best Soup near Seal Beach

“Love the food and the bakery 🥯“

“A Korean blood sausage soup spot in Cerritos!

This restaurant serves one of Korea’s most classic comfort foods and hangover meals — soondaegook.

The soup is hearty, rich, and has a slightly thicker, saucy texture. It’s best enjoyed with fresh chives, perilla seed powder, and a bit of the classic salted krill sauce mixed in.

I really enjoyed this hearty bowl of soup and would definitely recommend this spot for a quick and satisfying lunch!“

“You know this place is good when you see all the ahjummas queued up LOL. Honestly some of the best bibimnaengmyeon I have had in the US. Also the banchan was insaneeeeely good and free refills. One thing though is that the meat was good but for the 3 person combo the portion size is pretty small. But I would definitely come back! Get here early so you don’t wait in line.“

““Excellent Turkish restaurant with authentic flavors and a welcoming atmosphere. The kebabs were perfectly cooked, the bread was fresh, and the mezze selection was delicious. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Portions were generous and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great Turkish cuisine. Looking forward to coming back!”“

“number one place to eat.“

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“I was here on a rainy day last week and can say how this lab curated the most nourishing pho broth I’ve ever tasted! Ever in the Huntington Beach area? Give it a try! Lifted my mood and gave my body back some life. The banh mi was also great - fresh crunchy bread with a soft inside filled with freshly cooked yummies! Enjoy 👩🏻‍🍳“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“Delighted with their service and food. Serving is perfectly good for 2 and with reasonable price.“

“After I dined in here I know why they could maintain their good rating. The soup is really good, I can say authentic Vietnamese taste. Big portion, my husband and I couldn’t really finish the small bowl. The staffs are amazing. They’re very attentive and careful. All of them will welcome and goodbye to you. Such a nice place!!!“

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“

“My wife and I heard from a friend about the pho at Saigon District, and we have been addicted ever since. The richness and burst of flavor from the broth is unmatched! We also highly recommend the Banh Mi entree. We are working our way through the entire menu and will report back. 😋 👍🏾👌🏾“

“Great Food and in small restaurant could see large groups we had two tables of 7“

“Came in at the last minute because it was my boyfriend's birthday and we just unfortunately made it back pretty late and they still served us 🥹 (they do deserve more time to cook pls don't be me). He's ALWAYS wanted to try the curry pizza and it was GREAT. I got some humble Pad See Ew and man for a last minute cook, this was amazing. I couldn't imagine how good it would've been if we came in at a proper time. The fish were literal cutie pies and I was sitting there thinking they seem affectionate and someone came out and pet the fish 😭💞. It was so wholesome. Highly recommend.“

“Love how quick and easy it was to order from this restaurant. Lots of tables, and menu has great photos to grab your attention to what you want to be catered to. Draft beer was expensive and the food is at reasonable price with great quality food! Thank you“

“My first time and very satisfied. I ordered pork soup with rice and it is soooooo good!“

“Best galbitang I’ve ever had in my life in the world, including any that I’ve tried in Korea. Portions were great, service was great, prices very reasonable especially considering how California can be. 10/10 would recommend this place, super comforting food.“

“Tang was exactly what we were craving after a night out. The portions were generous, and the side dishes complemented the meal well. Since the soups already include rice noodles, I skipped out on the extra rice.

We ordered the soondae guk and the galbi tang. The galbi was rich and flavorful. The highlight of the meal was the soondae (blood sausage). The texture was different, filled with a mixture of pork blood and noodles.

Overall, it was a great dining experience and a perfect choice for a morning comfort meal. Definitely a spot worth returning to.“

“One of the best pho places around! I’ve gotten the salt and pepper wings, shaking beef, and mixed pho bowl. Everything is always fresh and tasty. I only do reviews for exceptional places and this is one of them. I drive out of my way to come here after pickleball sometimes. Great service and even better food.“

“This place has the best Pho and Lousiana Cajun seafood near Knott's Berry Farm.

Its located on Magnolia near La Palma Ave same center as Popeyes.

Its a mom and pop operation and the food seems home cooked.

Atmosphere is quiet and soothing with the sound of birds

The Lousiana seafood can be boiled which is a great healthier option. The fried seafood is savory.

You must try the Rib Cube beef Pho its super beefy.“

“I had lunch yesterday with friends and I ordered the eggplant dish. It was absolutely DELICIOUS and came with a salad and rice. The service was excellent and the prices are quite reasonable. I'm looking forward to a return visit!!“

“Went in today !! Gotta say the food was great .. had spicy beef soup and my wife had bulgogi and dumplings … was completely satisfied with this place !! Also we were the only 2 customers there .. which was shocking after having tasted the food … very delicious… how is this not a popular place ???“

“Always busy. Order before 9 but server kind enough to let us know in nice way. Grill, pho, rice all good. Lot is small and sometimes hard to park. Otherwise all good. Solid service. Clean restrooms. Haven’t been back for 8 years and glad it’s still here post pandemic.“

“The food was amazing the broth had a really spicy flavor the noodles were perfectly cooked and all the sides tasted perfect everything felt authentic and homemade. The older lady there was incredibly sweet and welcoming she honestly reminded me of my mom with how kind and caring she was. That warm hospitality made the whole experience even better. My only wish is that there was a little more beef in the bowl, but overall everything was delicious and I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“This place has my favorite chicken dishes. When I’m feeling like I need something with broth, I’m going for the pho ga. When I’m feeling for some rice, I pick the com ga chien ( fried chicken rice). They have many other great dishes as well. If you’re in the area, stop by and dine . You won’t be disappointed.“

“I haven’t been to Olive Garden in a long time because my past experiences honestly weren’t the best, but Kevin completely changed that! He was super friendly, attentive, and really helpful when answering my questions about the menu. Everything came out fast, and he made the whole experience feel welcoming and enjoyable. The food was just as good as I remembered too. Huge thanks to Kevin for making it such a great night! Will be coming back for those delicious breadsticks!“

“Absolutely love it here! This place exceeded my expectations. I was greeted with warm hospitality the moment I walked in, and the environment has a cozy, authentic atmosphere! Every dish was packed with unforgettable flavor :) My favorite has to be their jokbal and bossam!

Service was amazing as well. They were very attentive and answered questions about their dishes. You can tell that the food was thoughtfully prepared, and they truly care about the dishes they serve.

If you’re craving some comforting Korean food or want to try something new, this is a definite must-try!“

“A small catering, food to go shop, 3 small tables inside, 3 outside. Their banh canh cua, udon crab noodle, is fantastic in quality and quantity, probably the best in oc, $17 eat in, special $8 only to go on Friday, a great deal.

The crab udon has a lump of minced crab, 3 large shrimps, large slices of boiled pork. The broth is rich, tasty, delish, no fishy odor, no excess sugar, light, nice, clean, not greasy and gooey like those in other shops. I ate it to the last spoon, and I am a picky eater.

If taken home, the udon noodle should be recooked in the broth for about 5 minutes to soften up.

They have a menu of about 30 traditional Viet dishes, hopefully as good and healthy as their crab udon. Will definitely come back and try them out.“

“Authentic Korean experience. From the ice water in the plastic containers to the Bandhan set they immediately bring to your table. Extremely friendly server and attentive to your needs. The atmosphere is reminiscent of something tmyou would experience in Korea in the 19th century. They do mix in some technology with digital menus at the tables aling with a food delivery robot to speed up the service. Delicious soft tofu soup!“

“Food is excellent! Customer service is outstanding!“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“Good vegetarian pho, friendly staff.“

“one of the best korean food in town
the service was amazing
surrounded by older koreans ppl
we ordered two dishes and both of us are extremely full
their sidedishes were really goood
soup using ginsheng and whole chicken, heart warming
i love their cold noodles and kimchi“

“Friendly and hospitable staff, delicious food, fast service.“

“Always stop by here when I'm down visiting family. Its spacious, the services is always fantastic here. The food is delicious. Sure it's not exaggerating portions like I'm used to but the food ia good none the less. simple, delicious and flavorful.“

“Great food cooked with love, like you're at Grandma's house, great prices and super friendly service ❤️ I had the drunken noodle which was reality flavorful, nice and spicy and they give you a great chili oil that gave a nice smoky finish, my girlfriend got the orange chicken lunch special with vegetable soup and it was delicious, portions are generous, food came out fast, and no wait to be seated 👍 lovely restaurant with cozy wood panelled walls and somehow this is a rarity but the chairs are actually comfortable. The mango sticky rice was a great, fresh dessert that didn't feel too unhealthy or sugary“

“Was working nearby looking for dinner to go. Asked if they can accommodate for gluten free, certain menu items yes(confirmed with an older woman, she was super sweet).Tom Yum Soup, Pad Thai, Pad Woon Sen, and one of the salads. AMAZING! Best Thai I've had in a decade, especially for my allergy. I will be back and will continue to order from here“

“Today at M’s kitchen, I went with the chef’s suggestion of “cold noodles” (which is the meat sauce noodle with soy bean paste, ask for cold noodles). The pronunciation sounds like Tsa Chang lian mein, and while my mandarin is terrible the food was thankfully not. The cold noodles, cucumbers, and pork sauce hit the spot in this warm California afternoon and i couldn’t be more satisfied with both the taste and my full stomach. 10/10 Would eat again. —Recommendations— For those who want a comforting dinning experience, Treat yourself to these delicious dishes: -general tso’s chicken -spicy diced chicken -green onion pancakes -braised string beans -house special beef -braised shrimp -cold meat sauce noodle with soy bean paste —Finger foods for your office/party— For those looking to feed your office finger foods ask for a party tray (I’d get the last 3 since they are more likely “known” by the people you are feeding): -spicy diced chicken -xiao long bao -pan fried dumplings -spring rolls -green onion pancakes When in doubt, do not be afraid to ask Monica the owner for suggestions. I’ve been coming here for the past 3 years and I have always left satisfied.“

“I have been going to Thai Pepper for decades now. There food is always just spot on and the lunch special of $9.95 is a great deal. You get an entree in which I always get The Mint Leaves Chicken, fried rice, two fried wontons and a salad. My only suggestion would be to put the salad in a separate little box so it does not get hot next to the hot food. Other than that the food is excellent and great prices. You can get it mild to very hot on the spice! I stick with mild and my friend always gets the level 10 hot, hot, 🔥🥵 HOT. I would die, but different strokes for different folks.👍🤤🎉“

“Service was top notch tonight“

“I ordered 2 different beef pho and an order of the pork and shrimp spring rolls. The meat and broth in the pho was so good and worth every penny. The tendon in my soup was so soft and yummy. The spring rolls were a bit of a disappointment as it was 90% garden salad mix straight out of the bag. 2 out of 3 of the spring rolls split open due to the over crowding of the salad. If the salad was tossed in a light sauce/vinegar, it would liven up the spring rolls so much.“

“Best place to get authentic cheonggukjang in Orange County. I've been coming for what feels like over a decade and the taste never changed. The restaurant does have a strong fermented bean paste smell but if you want authentic cheonggukjang, it has to smell like this. If a place that sells cheonggukjang does not have a smell, it you will get tasteless 'watered down' version of the soup.

Plus is the smell is not as over powering as it used to be way back when but the taste is still the same.“

“I stopped by and tried a few dishes. What stuck out to me was how long the food took to prepare when the place was practically empty. I overheard another table also commenting on their wait time for food. Other than that, the food was delicious and the service was fine. The restaurant is pretty old and dingy but I wasn’t expecting anything fancy, I was just there for some food to treat my homesickness.

The salaw machu kreung and the prahok sauce was really good. The frog was alright tbh, I guess I’m not used to it being prepared in that way. (It was deep fried and then stir fried with the kreung paste and veggies I believe.) It was still good, just different. I’m glad I gave them a try, gotta support the Khmer businesses 🫶🏼🇰🇭“

“The food at Olive Garden was pretty good, but the real reason this visit stood out was our waitress, Catherine.

From the moment we sat down, she treated us with a level of kindness and genuine empathy that you rarely come across. It never felt like she was simply doing her job. You could tell she truly cared about making sure we had a great experience. She noticed the little things before we even had to ask, checked in at just the right times, and somehow made us feel like we were her only table even though the restaurant was busy.

Great service is about much more than getting orders right. It is about making people feel welcomed, valued, and cared for. Catherine did exactly that. Her warmth and sincerity turned an ordinary dinner into something we will genuinely remember. People like her are the reason customers return.

The meal was enjoyable, but it is Catherine’s exceptional hospitality that we will be talking about long after we have forgotten what we ordered. She represents everything you hope for when you go out to eat. Olive Garden is incredibly fortunate to have someone with her level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication. It is hard to imagine anyone leaving her table without a smile.

Thank you, Catherine, for making our night so much better than we expected. You made us feel like guests instead of customers, and that is something that cannot be taught.“

“It's not bad I like it. If there were more selections I'd give it a 5 star“

“There is plenty of parking space, but as you know, it gets full on the weekends.
I went there Friday around lunchtime and, as usual, the galbi tofu combination was really good. The raw crab was also excellent, and we ended up buying some side dishes to take home. It wasn’t crowded, and the service staff was very nice. We will definitely be back soon.“

“Still a place to go for all the occasional. Just landed from out of country trip and this is the 1st place to go for comfort food. It was raining so perfect to have some hot pho and VNese coffee and Thai tea and orange juice. The place is packed and we waited for 15mins and got a shared table with another group. Easy order with friendly service but waited abit (understandable since it packed) but within 20mins we got our foods. The prices are still the same but I think the noodle is less than b4, I could be wrong but either way, it hit all the right spots in the body. The vibe was great since the smell is just make you feel right at home and with good comfort foods. They do have several table outside on the sidewalk too.“

“Back in our college days, whenever we craved classic Chinese food, we'd go to Northern Cafe.

And honestly... it's still the same now

Of course, we had to kick things off with noodles.

Then lamb skewers,and square ribs with garlic because we wanted something not too spicy

Veggies were definitely needed for our Asian tummy digestion.

Can't forget the xiao long bao and dumplings.

This is just a classic that never goes wrong.
