50 Best Soup near South San Francisco

“I was so juiced and excited to see we were about to get a sourdough & Co. I love sourdough dough too and the lemonade is soooo goood. They for sure are top quality. The owner is really nice. If you haven't had it, definitely give them a try.“

“I always get good food and great service. Take out or dine in .“

“Satisfies Korean food craving.“

“Luke’s Lobster is the best! We discovered it on the East Coast and like it so much that every time we come to San Francisco, we make a special trip. Johnny was behind the counter today - courteous, professional, and friendly. Such fast service and such tasty food. We get the select lobster and seafood trio every time we come and are never disappointed. They even throw in a bag of chips and soft drink, and a dill pickle spear.“

“One of my favorite restaurants in the city and the best Peking Duck I've ever had... every, anywhere. The host is amazing and all the servers are cool and super nice. If you can, seat near the chef that's cutting up the duck, watching him work is awesome.“

“Nice clean place with counter seats only inside. They have a Parker with tables and chairs outside. It has an old timey feel (retro modern) interior with lots of stainless and chrome and feels very comfortable. We had the clam chowder and the tomato soups plus the cheese sandwich. The clam chowder was good but a bit watery and slightly bland while the tomato soup was just excellent and recommended. We both got the cheese sandwiches, one with kimchi and the other without. The one without was good again but a bit dry while the kimchi cheese sandwich was great!! They should just have it as a regular option instead of paying extra to make it great!! Service was ok, everything is self serve with utensils and water on the table including to go boxes which was highly convenient.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco and one of the best places to get rotisserie chicken everything is fresh juicy. The fried chicken sandwich is delicious. Comes with great sauces and customer service. This location is always been fantastic.“

“just lovely! vegan friendly but the fried chicken was tops!“

“really friendly staff and great eats! we will be back to work through the entire menu!“

“The beef noodles soup is one of the best in the bay area with the broth so clear and most tasty of all beef soup. The hand made noodles tasted so fresh.
The soup dumpling was steamed to order so it took a bit long but came out deliciously.
Would like to come back and try the chive cake and cucumber salad.
Service was friendly.“

“This was phenomenal. The soup broth was SO flavorful and the egg looked like it was birthed by a golden chicken. Seriously incredible. My only qualm is that they don’t let you adjust the toppings. I personally don’t like pork but was unable to switch it out for another type of meat. Other than that, seriously great ramen. Server was super nice as well and the vibes were great.“

“Pho 2000 is a no-nonsense hole-in-the-wall Vietnamese spot that is not especially fancy or polished, but it is serving up piping hot, flavorful bowls of pho that absolutely hit the spot. The staff were all super friendly and very prompt with things like water, tea, and bussing dirty plates and bowls, which I really appreciated.

I ordered the #3, the beef pho with rare steak, well-done flank, tendon, and tripe. I tried the broth on its own first and it had a nice depth of flavor before I added my usual dashes of hoisin and sriracha. I also ordered the rare steak on the side since I hate when it gets overcooked, and it was a good test of how hot the soup was when the slices started to turn that perfect light pink gradually as it continued to simmer in the broth.

I liked the pieces of tendon and tripe that were in the bowl, but honestly there could have been a lot more of both since those are some of my favorite bites of pho. The goi cuon, or shrimp and pork spring rolls, were pretty standard and decently fresh, though I'm not sure I'd order them again given the price as they were effectively 2 long rolls cut into 6 pieces for over $10.

Overall, this is a great spot if you're just looking to scratch a quick pho fix and happen to be in the neighborhood.“

“Wow, that was the best tasting Korean food I’ve had in SF!

The short ribs were so tender and had the most delicate, slightly sweet and savory flavor.

We loved the Korean beef tartare and the glass noodles.

The line was long at 6 pm on a Wednesday so come prepared to wait. It’s definitely worth it.

We had left overs and it tasted just as good the next day.“

“The food is really good, when we got there we didn’t need to wait at all and I never liked Asian food but I gave that place a chance and I really loved it and I ate a lot of things and the waitress ate really nice and the food doesn’t take long to get served!!This is the best Asian spot in California!“

“Second time here. Just as good as the first time. Food is flavorful and well presented. Ordered several appetizers and several entrees and enjoyed every one of them. Service was excellent. He was knowledgeable on what needed to be changed regarding spice and sauces to meet our requests. This has become our favorite Burmese restaurant when visiting the city!“

“Dumpling Bites catered my client’s birthday party in San Francisco on Sunday, and they were absolutely amazing! They pulled off a last-minute miracle for us and were professional, reliable, and right on time. The food was delicious, and our guests loved everything.

A special shout-out to Jason, the manager—he is truly the best! He was incredibly helpful, responsive, and made the entire process stress-free. I highly recommend Dumpling Bites for any event and will definitely work with them again!“

“This is by far the best hot pot that I have ever been to. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the food and broth were delicious. They had a variety of vegetable, meat, and seafood options, and the sauce bar was clean and well-stocked. I will definitely be coming back!“

“How did I not find this place sooner?
It’s a tasty, visually pleasing, and active dining experience.

Our group came in for a foggy, cozy Sunday lunch before the church crowd. We ordered the tomato fish, sichuan beef, and original YunNan noodle bowls. We were delighted with the bridge of ingredients that you can personally add to your hot soup and noodles.

I loved my original YunNan bone broth flavor that tasted clean and flavorful. Service is quick and kind. Decor really emphasizes the YunNan culture and they have custom wooden benches. Check this place out if you’re on Balboa!“

“Fast friendly service. But you’ll be taking a to-go bag home for sure!! I was stuffed!!“

“Good customer service and recommend it to people !“

“I called in about 30 minutes before they were closing. The gentleman on the phone was very polite and professional, he gave me a few recommendations, and even though I don’t eat raw meat, he offered to cook it completely instead. I tried so many soups like this and can definitely say that it was one of the best pho soups I’ve tried in my life. Soooo good! Definitely recommending to try ! Thank you for great service and tasty soup.“

“Really love this place ! Food is delicious! Outdoor dining is refreshing.“

“Love eating here at Chibog;) Home cook meal! Great service as well. They have so many delicious food to choose from!“

“We tried this shop during our stay in the neighbourhood and loved the pancakes here. It’s a two-person-run business (one cook and one person handling the cashier, taking orders, preparing tables, and clearing up), so please be patient with the owner. She really does her best to take care of every customer, especially considering her age.

For the basic breakfast, you can choose your bread (white, wholegrain, or sourdough) and how you’d like your eggs cooked. Another homey breakfast option. 👍“

“Delicious food, large portions, affordable price. Run by the sweetest lady who was so patient and helpful. I ordered at the restaurant and I didn’t have to wait long for my order to be ready. I can’t believe more people aren’t talking about this place! I will certainly be back for more, after I finish the week’s-worth of leftovers. Just a heads up, it’s takeout only but don’t let that deter you.

Edit: came back again because the food was so delicious and affordable the first time around. This time I got general Cho’s chicken, tofu with vegetables (similar flavoring to the cashew chicken but no cashews), and pork fried rice (heaped with lots of pork!) I also got the cream cheese wontons which were divine“

“Really enjoyed the Mala spicy fish fillet mixian! The broth was the highlight deep, flavorful, and super comforting. The fish tasted fresh and tender, and the noodles soaked up the flavor really well. The restaurant felt clean and cozy, and the service was friendly. There was no long wait when we went. The prices are reasonable too. Definitely will come back!“

“I’ve been searching for good bun cha since I left Hanoi. I think I’ve finally found it! The “special entree” is 10/10. I got it with the lemongrass pork chop, and I was SHOOK when it arrived! A huge portion for only $16! The pork was seared nicely, and not dry. Ive walked by this place everyday for months, and I can’t believe it took me this long to try it! A must go if you’re in the mission and craving Vietnamese!“

“Just found out Serramonte Center has Yang Guo Fu in the food court 😂 Perfect spot for a hot bowl of malatang on a foggy Daly City lunch break. $14.99/lb with fresh veggies, meats, and three soup bases (beef bone, tomato, spicy dry). Loved the beef & lamb rolls, mushrooms, lotus root, and konjac for a lighter option. Their red oil wontons ($5.99) are freshly made and so tasty—can’t wait to try the dim sum they’re adding soon!“

“I highly recommend this small restaurant and its signature Pho: the broth is perfectly seasoned (with extra salt available on the table), it’s packed with meat, and the noodles are excellent. I love soup and would recommend this spot to tourists; the prices are great, and the place is clean and cozy. The fact that locals dine here is the best guarantee of the food's quality.“

“Super good!!! Would recommend to anyone. Big portions“

“We didn't realize how much a difference good bread has on a sandwich! Their meats and veggies are already good, but their sourdough is next level. We love it so much, we get the baguettes to take home. The staff is really nice here as well and it's clean with plenty of seating. Parking is easy in the adjacent lot. Good value, too.“

“Pushkin delivers you high quality and authentic Russian and Ukrainian dumplings. Dumplings with cherries taste like home made. Borsch is delicious and tastes the same as if I cook it. It was hard to believe! I highly recommend it☺️“

“With 3 hours to kill, we set off for the food court recommended by a pilot we asked and looked at our options. We decided to "be healthy" after a 10-day cruise and were rewarded with amazing food! The Good Catch Vegan Manhattan Seafood Chowder and Tortilla soup were both amazing and the Cabo salad was hearty enough for us to share and not feel deprived in any way. Of course, we then justified a couple of chocolate chip cookies for dessert-LOL. I now hope we have a reason to get back there again.“

“Highly recommended:
Beef noodles 🍜
Wonton noodles
Ma La Chicken
Soup Dumplings 🥟
Mango Sago

Price is affordable
They have ramp for easy access and wheelchair
Clean and sanitary environment
Service water tastes fresh and clean
Staff is attentive and efficient
Short waiting time <1 min“

“my favorite neighborhood tasty savory spicy food place, plenty none spicy vegetarian dishes, their lunch menu comes with salads and soup and a bowl of rice, best value!“

“Top notch. I’d highly recommend the sizzling platters. The Sizzling Beef Bomb was excellent. Fresh with very tender beef. The Sizzling Salmon with curry sauce was very nicely done as well. 👍 all round“

“I am so glad they opened this sandwich spot! I ordered 5 items for takeout and it came out to only $34. I got 2 veggie sandwiches on Dutch crunch. Best sandwiches in San Mateo County. I also tried their 2 dessert options. They have the bst carrot cake I have ever had! Their chocolate chip cookie tasted very rich. I had their veggie soup which was fresh and delicious. This place is my new go to spot. The location is a little awkward, but the inside is organized and clean. It only took 10 minutes to make my order. Definitely a satisfied customer!!!“

“Got a recommendation from the hotel, and it was great! Service was eh yet not bad. Kitchen was busy and quick. Food delicious. High prices - $15 for a bowl of soup… but overall I would go back.“

“loved it! duck was delicious!“

“Twice in one week in a business trip to SF - happened upon ilppudo and came back a few days later. Friendly staff, great Raman and nice interior.“

“Came here during Salesforce TDX 2026 with some friends visiting from Mexico — they were on a mission for lobster rolls, so we trusted Google (and all the other reviewers) and gave this place a try. Good call.

The place was nice and quiet when we walked in, and you could immediately smell the seafood — always a good sign.

We ordered two Maine-style lobster rolls and one Connecticut-style (warm with butter), plus of course… one friend had to be different and ordered a burger 😂

I went with the lobster roll + chowder combo — and somehow ended up with two chowders, which was a great surprise. Not complaining at all.

Everything was delicious. The lobster rolls were fresh and flavorful, the chowder was rich and comforting, and even the fries on the side were on point.

And shoutout to the burger — my friend is very picky about burgers, and he loved this one, which says a lot.

Service was smooth, no issues, and the whole experience felt easy and relaxed.

If you’re in SF and craving a solid lobster roll and chowder combo, this spot definitely delivers.“

“Let me first start off by saying that I have been to this spot since it first opened because it is nearby but have never felt the need to write a review until recently.

This is SF's top 3 Super Burrito. I have been to every taqueria you can possibly think of and I am confident especially the past 3-5 times ive been here in the past 2 months.

The consistency that I have been getting is amazing and they have a good balance of texture. The only real different thing they do is they add lettuce which I personally don't mind and kind of like since it adds a little freshness. Obviously you must get refried beans.

I don't write reveiws often if ever, but I felt the need to since I am very impressed recently and this place deserves more since it can be a hard location to get to. But if you are nearby I'll say this is the best Burrito you can get on San Bruno. I'll be back!“

“Great Food! And Very nice Small Restaurant“

“Came here for dinner and ordered the special for two. We were seated right away, which is always a great start. The service stood out—our hostess was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking in on us throughout the meal.

Food came out quickly. The soup wasn’t quite my personal style, but the entrees more than made up for it—everything tasted fresh, well-cooked, and flavorful, and the meat was especially tender.

Overall, a really pleasant experience with warm service and solid dishes. Would definitely come back!“

“Great sandwiches. We love many of the specialty sandwiches and make your own options. The only problem is they don’t provide a ‘no meat’ option on build your own sandwich for vegetarians. 😀🙁“

“I’m not usually in the San Mateo area, but I happened to be nearby with a friend for some tech-related work and decided to place an online order from Udon Mugizo for the first time. It was a Saturday and the restaurant was clearly very busy, so I expected the pickup to take a while, but everything was ready smoothly and the person who helped me, possibly the manager, was genuinely kind and attentive even with so much going on. I was honestly impressed by the quality of the food too. Everything tasted fresh, carefully prepared, and much better than I normally expect from an online order. The whole experience, from the pickup service to the food itself, was excellent. I don’t come to this area often, but I would definitely order from here again the next time I’m nearby“

“Our clay pots were delicious (salted fish with diced chicken, and house special lamb stew), with perfectly crusty rice. We like spice, so added a little of their pickled peppers and pickle juice to our clay pots. The pea sprouts we ordered (off menu) were tender, with a little garlic. Appreciated the free tea and soup. Service was friendly and efficient. Basic tables and dinnerware made it feel even more authentic.“

“More of a restaurant for individual meals than for family style. Prices are quite high for some more simple dishes like $20 for string beans is a little steep. I also found it weird that their Dandan noodles were hot.

Their bento boxes and beef noodle soup look good though, and I'll definitely try those in the future.“

“I had ordered chicken samosa without mayo and chicken lollypop. It was served extremely fresh and hot & the dishes were yummy. Thanks Papa's Kitchen. InshaaAllah I will order again👍“

“Found this when I look for Korean restaurant that serve noodle soup. This restaurant is next to hospital which I think in a good location. Next to it is boba shop which I saw some customer went to the the boba shop after their meals.
The interior is very simple, with couple tables and the dishes photo all over the wall which looks inviting.
The menu is pretty complete with many varieties of Korean dishes. We order Spicy Seafood noodle soup and Stir fried noodles with black bean sauce.
They give 3 type of banchan, daikon, beansprout and kimchi. The kimchi is sweet and later I saw it is from a big jar that you can get from grocery store. I wish they make it fresh in the restaurant. At least if have it from jar, don't show the jar.
The noddle soup is yummy but not spicy. the Stir fried noodle is served with hot iron plate. the presentation is good but I just feel it is too sweet.
The server is very nice and very energetic. Only one server serves all the tables.
Overall it was ok meals. May be next time we will try other dishes and wish they make the kimchi in house.“
