50 Best Soup near Seal Beach

“Love the food and the bakery 🥯“

“We’ve been here four times now, which is probably the best compliment I can give. When Mo Ran Gak is at its best, it’s one of my favorite Korean restaurants in Southern California. When it’s off, the inconsistency keeps it from being a five star experience.

The first visit was outstanding. The galbi was perfectly seasoned, not overly sweet, not overly salty, with great caramelization and tenderness. The naengmyeon was exactly what you hope for. Icy cold with crunchy ice still floating in the broth, crisp vegetables and incredibly refreshing.

The second visit was a completely different experience. The galbi was noticeably drier and under seasoned and the naengmyeon arrived only slightly cold. The ice had already melted, which takes away one of the best parts of great naengmyeon. The slices of beef that come with the noodles have also been consistently dry. That may be traditional, but it’s never been the highlight of the dish.

The service is probably the weakest part of the restaurant. Nobody has ever been outright rude, but it’s difficult to get someone’s attention and the staff generally feels indifferent. You can tell they’re busy, but hospitality often feels like an afterthought. I’d probably rate the service around a 3 out of 5.

The restaurant itself is older but clean, with a comfortable atmosphere and moderate noise. Parking can be frustrating and there’s usually a wait, but that’s expected for a popular spot.

One thing I really enjoy is the complimentary crispy pancake they bring out. Honestly, I’d happily eat an entire plate of it. The banchan are solid overall, though fairly average.

Despite the inconsistency, I still think this is some of the best naengmyeon and especially bibim naengmyeon you’ll find in the Los Angeles area. That’s why we keep coming back. I just hope they can deliver the same level of quality every visit because when they do, it’s genuinely excellent.“

“Good food and good service. Lamb donor kebab flavors were good - could have had a more meat but was satisfying for a lunch!

The sun-dried tomatoes and olive oil served with naan and tea is a nice touch! They have a gift shop next to the restaurant and then an ice-cream and dessert shop next to the gift shop! Would come again!“

“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 👩🏻‍🍳“

“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!!!“

“So delicious! Many selections for all palettes!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“We ordered ahead when they opened for the day, and when we arrived 15 minutes later we picked up our order. We had two extra large thai curry pizza with chicken and were able to sit down for lunch. It tasted good. There were peppers, chicken, and a lot of cheese on the pizza, with curry on the side as a dip or topping. The curry is slightly spicy, but good. Highly recommend.“

“I recently visited Ramen Hub & Sushi - Long Beach and had a wonderful experience enjoying Japanese cuisine in a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant has a modern yet relaxed setting that makes it a great place for a casual meal, dinner with friends, or a satisfying dining experience with family.

The menu offers a variety of Japanese favorites, including ramen, sushi rolls, and other traditional dishes prepared with fresh ingredients and careful attention to flavor. I tried one of their signature ramen dishes, and it was excellent with a flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, fresh toppings, and well-prepared ingredients. The balance of flavors and textures made the meal warm, satisfying, and enjoyable.

I also enjoyed their sushi selection, which was fresh, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared. The combination of quality ingredients and skilled preparation made each dish stand out. The portions were satisfying, and the food was served fresh and at the right temperature.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout my visit. They were welcoming, knowledgeable about the menu, and made helpful recommendations. The restaurant was clean, organized, and had a comfortable atmosphere that enhanced the overall dining experience.

I appreciated the combination of authentic Japanese flavors, fresh ingredients, friendly hospitality, and a relaxed setting. The prices were reasonable considering the quality and variety of dishes available.

Ramen Hub & Sushi - Long Beach is an excellent choice for anyone looking for delicious ramen, fresh sushi, and a memorable Japanese dining experience. I left very satisfied with both the food and the service. I would definitely return and recommend Ramen Hub & Sushi - Long Beach to anyone who enjoys flavorful Japanese cuisine and a welcoming restaurant atmosphere.“

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

“Not only the gomtang (beef bone soup) but all the other dishes here are delicious, too. We ordered the budae-jjigae (army base stew); the portion was generous, and it tasted great.
And the server was so friendly. We had an even better time thanks to the server who took care of us.“

“hands down my favorite pho spot in Long Beach!

we called ahead made a reservation for 10 people and we were all seated quickly without any issues. The service was 10/10. The woman who took care of us was incredibly friendly and attentive.

The food was also 10/10. Most of our group ordered the brisket or beef pho, and everyone loved their meals. I ordered the garlic filet mignon with rice, and it was amazing. The portion was generous, and the steak was perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy.

I’ve never had a bad experience here, and I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Legit Chuncheon-style Dakgalbi.

When I go to Korea, I love eating dakgalbi. Specifically, Chuncheon-style, where the meat is cooked in a spicy sauce with vegetables and other items that you can often choose (e.g. rice cakes, ramen, udon noodles, cheese, etc). I've tried to find the best dakgalbi in Seoul, and I feel like I've only scratched the surface.

In the US, I've only had dakgalbi a few times, and before Mhat, I'd been consistently underwhelmed. But Mhat has changed what I think dakgalbi can be in the US. Mhat serves up a version that is excellent, much like the better spots that I've found in Seoul. I didn't get a cheese version, but then again, I'm not really into the Korean trend of putting cheese on everything, so things like dakgalbi and galbi jjim usually go without cheese.

In short, my favorite dakgalbi in the US so far.“

“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!!“

“This has been my go to spot for Pho for over tens years now!

The broth is rich in flavor, not oily and so delicious! Obviously simmered for many hours with care.

Regardless of the bowl you choose, you will be pleasantly surprised with the quantity of meat, the quality, and the service.

All the spring rolls are delicious although my favorite is the sausage.

All in all. This is the place. It is called Pho Tasty for a reason. Try it and see. You will not leave disappointed.“

“Food is excellent! Customer service is outstanding!“

“The food banh canh crab was excellent and the nem nuong sprill rolls were awesome ans I felt like in Vietnam woth the fresh garlic they give me and Thai pepper with this orange sauce...

Staff was super friendly and kid friendly as I had a 6 and 7 year old with me that are super picky eaters....“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“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 ???“

“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.👍🤤🎉“

“I used to live in Buena Park and came here at least once a month. Way better than bcd imo and the side dishes are what make me come back. I was a little sad that I couldn't pack the side dishes to go, but other than that very good experience. My son and daughter loved the robot waiter. I'll definitely come back when I'm in the area“

“Our family loves Kaju food.“

“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“

“Hangyang has been one of the must visit places ever since I found it about 15 years ago when I visited Anaheim for blizzcon. The place only serves a limited staple of Korean food but what they serve they do them so well that it's worth going just for that small menu. Over the years they expanded their menu but their staple imo is the galbi tang or beef bone soup. It comes with 2 pieces of large beef bones. The soup is delicious and is paired perfect with the mustard sauce.

There are other delicious offering such as the thistle rice bowl. I'd say because of the limited menu everything is great. The parking lot can be packed especially in the weekend as all the church goes come by. Most of the clienteles are usually middle aged or older so you know they know what authentic Korean food is.

The service is extremely efficient and very friendly. The place is clean just like most Korean restaurants. Nothing to complain about. Order the galbi tang and you'll be coming back.“

“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“

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

“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“

“i will return again and will recommened“

“Great Korean Food! The best so far!“

“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.“

“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 🫶🏼🇰🇭“

“5 🌟 Great Vietnamese cuisine & Frence Pastries in Little Saigon, City of Westminster, California, USA“

“This Olive Garden has the best service all around. The food came out quick and hot! Our server was friendly and attentive but to be honest all the staff was friendly. The manager Geo gave us some good tips for our leftovers which we will definitely try and my son was super happy with the amount of chocolates he was given. 10/10 would recommend and we will be back soon!!!“

“Olive garden never disappoints! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Our server was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The unlimited breadsticks are always a win and the food was hot and full of flavor. Berry sangria is so delicious! I got a pitcher of it and even my mom who doesnt drink alcohol at all ended up enjoying a glass after having a taste. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a casual dinner or a night out with family. Great food, great service and great value. We'll definitely be back!“

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