50 Best Soup near South El Monte

“When I first arrived to this restaurant, I didn’t see any other diners and was quite hesitant. But soon enough they proved my ‘pre-thoughts’ wrong.
Definitely one of the best Vietnamese home cooked meals at a restaurant in the area. The flavour is so authentic that can transport you back to the Southern of Vietnam (mien Tay) in a bite. We ordered the lunch set for family and cannot fault a thing. It came with canh chua, ca chien, goi tom thit, ca kho, bap cai chua. Flavour was mouth watering and all very good value for money. This is such a hidden gem. Highly recommend!“

“This pho shop makes a super rich broth that feels homemade. The filet mignon pho is melt-in-your-mouth good. Service is quick, though the restaurant gets crowded on weekends. Prices are reasonable for the portion size. A reliable stop for comforting pho“

“A barbecue restaurant worth recommending. It’s very delicious. The taste is superb. The oysters are big and cheap. The grilled fresh milk is also superb. There are also authentic grilled cold noodles and lamb skewers. It’s really worth a try.“

“The first few bites are OUT OF THIS WORLD! But then the oil and fat from the dry noodles hits and that's when it gets difficult. Definitely recommend the dry noodles, but not for those with high blood pressure. I haven't tried their soup noodles, but they should be good.“

“Love that this is in Bell gardens! I no longer have to travel for good pho! I tried the spicy beef pho -so good, however I think next time I’ll get the regular beef pho, so I can control the flavors a bit more. I also got the milk tea. The flavor was great and not too sweet which Is great given that some places over due it with the sweetener. Women who helped was friendly with a lovely smile. I used the drive thru this time next time I’ll give sitting in a go.“

“The food was delicious, the service excellent, the establishment was clean, portions generous, and cost affordable. We ordered chow mein, fish with black bean sauce, and Mongolian beef. It's not Chinese fast food, it's a sit down restaurant. Surprised it wasn't crowded as the food is delicious. The location is a little non-descript but street parking was easy. I live in Gardena and although there are several Chinese restaurants, none are good. This was a lucky find as restaurant reviews in general tend to result in a bad choice.“

“Although the restaurant is often crowded, the wait staff are usually responsive and able to attend to customers' needs.“

“Everything we had here was fantastic! I loved the mango iced tea because it actually tastes like mangos, the chicken was nice and crunchy on the outside, juice and delicious on the inside. We also had xiao baos and their dry noodles with peanut butter sauce which were both fantastic! I would recommend against getting their devils hot sauce unless you have like an amazing spice tolerance! I thought my spice tolerance was fine because i can handle tapatio and valentina easily but this sauce left me chugging my drink and feeling the chili under my tongue for hours!“

“Solid, Taiwanese and Chinese vegetarian and vegan classics. And a wonderful and clean atmosphere too! Love the lunch specials, the service, and the variety. The only downside is that the menu is huge! Too hard to make a decision, but the staff helped share some of their own favorites. They recommended the Taiwanese classics: popcorn basil chicken, lettuce wraps, soup noodles. And I really loved the chicken with orange peel.“

“I've been to many Pho restaurants and this one stands out because, they offer unlimited noodles for free!!! They have different types of noodles but the traditional noodles you typically get with Pho, you can ask for an unlimited amount. Just the noodles so no proteins but how cool is that? One portion was good enough for me, but I saw plenty of other customers asking for extra noodles. What a way to stand out. What adds to the appeal is that the food was good. I ordered the Pho Tai with meatballs and the food tasted clean wasn't greasy or heavy. The service was good and brisk as most Asian restaurants are. The prices were reasonable as well and would definitely come back.“

“I enjoyed this place a lot. It was a little bit hard to find at first, as it is located above the supermarket. The server was very friendly, helping me to find a good vegetarian option. The cold sesame noodles were tasty and refreshing, and the price is not bad ($8.99). The dining area is spacious and comfortable.“

“Do you ever wish you were two people so you could eat twice as much? Well after visiting here... I sure do. Got soup dumplings (superb) steamed pork dumplings, cucumber salad, beef in a crispy wrapping whose name I am forgetting, and red bean dumplings. Everything was exquisite.“

“Nem Nướng Khánh Hoà is widely praised for its authentic Vietnamese cuisine and warm atmosphere. The restaurant’s specialty is nem nuong cuon, a dish of grilled pork meatballs wrapped in rice paper and served with fresh herbs and vegetables. The dish stands out for its flavorful, fresh grilled pork and the crunchy texture of the accompanying ingredients“

“As we walked in, it smells delicious 😋 but I ordered the Chile Verde with potatoes and let me tell you... It's absolutely delicious and authentic!! Everything was great. The Huarache of carne asada was Soo good my mom loved it and the tacos de lengua 💣 bomb .. we ordered agua fresca de Limon and it too was delicious 😋 not at all over powering of sugar it was perfect and I mean perfect. I'll definitely be coming back here .“

“Literally the warmest, kindest service I have EVER had. Unreal. And the food is soooo fresh and delicious. And we are serious food snobs, so we mean it. Come here immediately and feel the love!“

“The dumplings are so good!!“

“Food is delicious and great variety“

“😃I like the way they cook all family members working real Thai Food cook by Thai people“

“Very kind and friendly staff! Everything was freshly made to order, juicy, and very flavorful. This was also very affordable. The scallion oil noodles, and beef/cilantro dumplings were our standouts but we loves everything we ordered.

We would love to revisit someday when we travel back to this area!“

“Me encanto este lugar todo muy rico y muy atentos buen servicio“

“Excellent food and friendly staff!!“

“I love this cafe. The chicken salad is so good! My friend always loves the grilled short ribs. This is also our go to spot for fluffy pancakes. The matcha one is perf! The cream is very matcha-y. And the pancakes are perfectly cooked and so soft, fluffy and jiggly. Cannot recommend this spot enough!!!“

“Delicious and nice place.“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“This place has good Korean food. It's a good place to bring your family or friends. Your mother or grandmother will not complain about the food. They give large portions and the side dishes are really good. Services quick and very friendly. Not many people seem to know about this place which is kind of nice because you don't have to wait in line to get a table. There's plenty of parking in the back. Definitely I will come here again especially with my mom.“

“I've been to lot of Phó and let me tell you. This restaurant is so delicious and delivered the best food and drinks especially the coconut signature. I come here for many years and never lost touch in rich Vietnamese flavor. Thank you always making me smile and tummy filled“

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“每道菜餚皆是無可挑剔的精緻和美味“

“I been coming here for a year now happy to see dine in is open again, amazing beef noodle soup and I yummy fruit tea. Very worth the price and family own business that has amazing customer service 10/10“

“Cute homey Japanese vibes. It’s a small restaurant so I can see there’d be a wait on busy days. Luckily we only had to wait about 5 min. The menu is straightforward. Comfort Japanese dishes. Service was great, they’re super nice and very attentive!

The tempura was good, sauce was great too. Katsu was fried perfectly, sauce was tangy and fantastic, just wish the pork was more moist/tender. Karaage was just okay, probably wouldn’t order it again, most of the flavor came from the sauce. My dad loved his eel bowl set, flavored and cooked well. My katsudon bowl was delicious, again katsu was a little dry, togarashi is a must with this bowl. And the cold soba noodles were great, the sauce dip was perfectly seasoned and noodles were perfect texture, very refreshing to eat.

Parking - small free lot! We had no issues getting parking.“

“Their Tan Tan Men Ramen are the best! I love how I have the opportunity to customize our ground meat choices (I.e. ground pork or ground chicken). Topped with nori, baby bok choy, bean sprouts, hard-boiled egg, and ground meat, the ramen have the perfect flavor. Their chicken karaage were the best too!“

“I ordered the pho soup and man I would this is the best pho I’ve had in America. Not gonna lie, the thai tea is amazing and that boba too.“

“A cozy restaurant offering a variety of cuisines. Everything was prepared with care, and the food was delicious and had a homemade feel. The waitress was exceptionally kind, making the experience even better. I highly recommend this place!"“

“Esta muy sabrosa comida me encanto se las recomiendo k ballan y prueven esta deliciosa comida“

“Love their tofu skin dish.
Love their noddles, so original
The crispy pork is out of this world
Unlimited source and commentary are wonderfully satisfying
Can't speak more, try it yourself. I guarantee you have never tasted crispy pork like what they have. GUARANTEE!!!!“

“Need to make reservations, otherwise need to wait almost hour“

“We had a great Mommy outing. The glass partitions made us feel safe.“

“Me and the husband went here for the first time. We chose the premium as we didn't like any of the meats or broths in the prime option. I ordered the sukiyaki broth and the native chongquin Mala. The Mala was very spicy as soon as I got it. I removed all the chilies, and it was still spicy but delicious. I started mixing both broths to balance spiciness, and it was delicious. They have a self-serve buffet with many options, and the meats are ordered at the table. My favotire was the pork belly, shrimp and the fish filet. My mouth is watering just thinking about it ?. Their service was great, for sure we're going again this weekend ?“

“Love their duck salad! I've never had duck cooked this way before and it's delicious. They have this awesome deal... if you buy the half duck salad, get a bowl of noodles with it free! But it's dine in only.
Been here 2x now and definitely would come back. I want to give food 4.5 stars only bc the Thai tea I had was barely sweet. Didn't love it.“

“lovely little eatery, not too busy at 1pm on a Wednesday. great selection of teas. we ordered wonton soup (very filling and hearty), gyudon (delicious and sweetly savoury), and white peony tea (crisp and refreshingly light!) will definitely come again. i appreciate the plastic dividers between tables - good to see that a business still cares about privacy and COVID consciousness in a small space!“

“do not let the casual exterior of this building fool you - they're serious about food here. came on a Saturday night and it was packed, but they managed to seat us almost immediately! win. we ordered their lobster supreme, roasted duck, and some scrambled eggs with shrimp. rice and soup came with the meal. the lobster? fresh. delicious. chopped for easy eating ( true lobster monsters know how difficult it can be to eat this crustacean when it is improperly prepared! ) duck? delicious and toasty and very flavorful. and the scrambled egg and shrimp is a good, not too salty, meal balancer. very fluffy and soft. the tea they served was also brewed very well, very fragrant and none of the burnt taste. 10/10 would visit again and maybe try some of the other special meals (I gotta come back for the garlic crab)

edit: they have a complimentary little mango pudding for us 🥹“

“No wait time Sunday lunch before noon. It was pretty good. Need to have a little spicy so that the soup and food would be flavorful. Your typical ma la tang hot pot dining. My mom likes it and we'll be back soon. Soup did get more salty though as it keeps cooking. Not sure if there was rice or not.“

“very good food good service“

“Soto Band LOVES Kung Pao Bowl“

“El personal super amable , las pupusas y el atol de elote delicioso !! Hemos ido varias veces y siempre son tan serviciales !! Muchas gracias 😊“

“This Vietnamese restaurant is amazing!!! I always go with my friends and we are always satisfied with the quality of our food. Phong always provides excellent customer service by checking up on me to see if I need anything like extra side dishes or beverage refills. I recommend the phở tái chín (beef brisket noodle soup, phở bò viên (meatball noodle soup), and gỏi cuốn (spring rolls). Saigon Eden is one of my favorite places to eat at.“

“LOVEDDDD the red chili oil wontons! LOVED. I always try this dish where restaurants serve it in hopes of finding the ONE style I like - here it’s very close to the Din Tai Fung style with less sugar and a better price. They also use a good handmade wonton with delicious filling. A lot of places mess up on their use of wontons and sauce.

LOVED the lamb noodle soup!! I generally love lamb across the board, and they do it really well here - clear broth style, hand made noodles, no gamey taste/smell (so my mom says as she can be more sensitive to it). Greaaat price.“

“Fantastic 10-course Peking Duck banquet for 10 people at an unbeatable price of $288.95! The duck was expertly prepared across three dishes, with the wrap being a standout (we requested extra wraps). Other highlights included the shrimp, eel & sticky rice, and fillet mignon. However, the real showstoppers were the giant steamed fish and dessert soup with rice balls, which stole the show with the group.

Service and ambiance were on par with a traditional Chinese restaurant. A reservation is a must, and 8-10 people is the ideal group size to take advantage of these banquets. Worth noting: they seem to have set seating times to ensure perfectly roasted ducks.

We'll definitely be back – the drive may be over an hour, but it's worth it for this incredible food experience.“

“The food and atmosphere here are A+++. Everything our table ordered was incredible. The cafe de olla was perfect, not too sweet and right temperature. They have vegetarian options, including quesadillas de huitlacoche! They also have really great agua fresca options, including mango with chia and mango chile limón. You have to try to the queso fresco too with their house salsa. I was cheering with every bite. Can't wait to come back.“

“Different Vietnamese cuisine in the United States, sour soup with hot stir-fry, several bowls of rice, burgers, jellyfish salad (like chicken salad ?), pan-fried pomfret, Vietnamese pickles, salty crispy shrimp, and other dishes Five dishes and one soup, come and try it?“
