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.“

“Lovely Peking Duck experience, highly recommend. Visited with a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday and it was a great choice. Each dish was well presented, rich in flavours and felt very fresh. I was pleasantly surprised about their XLB too!“

“Cozy little restaurant with some counter seating and an outdoor park let, with art on the walls. Homemade soups and sandwiches are tasty and filling with both vegetarian and carnivore options - l love the fresh tomato soup with basil cream and Schmelty cheese sandwich which seems to consist entirely of melted crusty cheese. The service is warm and friendly.“

“I promise you the lobster roll is worth it. We love to get the seafood flight roll combo because you get a little bit of everything plus chips (or sub fries) and a drink! Don't expect to get full unless you have a small appetite but its worth the try. The staff is really friendly and the vibes are always calm. Tables and the area in general is kept nice and clean.“

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

“Oscar and his team accommodated our large group almost immediately, making what seemed impossible possible at the height of the Friday afternoon lunch hour. We especially loved seeing the Pride flag hanging high. Thank you, RT Rotisserie Team!“

“Kalbijjim Braised beef short rib impressed me. No matter the size of the rib, whether it was small or large, all were super tender, fall off the bone kind of tender, juicy and tasty. Good amount of it. Not enough rice cakes though. I maybe found 5 rice cakes and that’s it.
Got the normal size but a lot of people recommend to do the XL.

The sauce was really good. Spice level 1 was perfect. And the cheese on top makes a difference. It’s expensive but VERY good and I can’t wait to come back to eat it again.
Large portion, filling, but doesn’t wreck a havoc on your digestion system.
Their purple rice is also very good and I normally don’t like it.

Was not a huge fan of their banchan though. The pickled radish and kimchi was definitely not my favorite and they usually are at any Korean restaurant.“

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

“Really good 小笼包. Chinese owned, operated and staffed. You’re getting the real deal here. Beef noodles were pretty decent too. One thing I like is that unlike most Chinese eateries - the MSG here isn’t too strong. Pig ear salad were alright, could do with a bit more kick in flavour. Overall - a great meal and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for good Chinese food.“

“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.“

“Delicious Yunnan-style rice noodles paired with genuinely friendly service! The popcorn chicken is a highlight - lightly battered, juicy, and packed with flavor (and the portion size is generous for the price). The milk tea is excellent too - you can really taste the tea flavor.“

“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!“

“Had the tea tree salad, coconut paratha, and chicken garlic noodles. Everything was delicious. This place is much better than some of the more well known Burmese restaurants in SF. The service was very friendly and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back!“

“It’s been a while since my family and I came here for lunch. The food is still very delicious and was craving these yummy dishes. The Shanghai noodles and the xiao long bao are a top favorite! The spicy wontons with chili oil were pretty good. It’s not that spicy at all. So if your spicy tolerance isn’t too high, it’s a good choice. The staff were very friendly and the food came pretty fast.“

“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 !“

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

“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.“

“I think this is the best hot pot restaurant I've been to in California. Very clean and spacious with an attentive, thoughtful and kind owner/server. There are lots of options for the hotpot, all are available, and none are overpriced. One important detail for me and other people with allergies is that it's peanut-free, so I can even enjoy suspiciously peanutty things like sesame paste without worrying. I would definitely come back and take friends.“

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

“Ordered chicken pho. Loved the broth flavor and noodle texture. Also, I appreciated the smart packaging very much for a takeout order. They serve noodles, chicken, onions and cilantro in a bowl and broth in a separate container. You can pour the broth into a bowl and it's ready to consume!“

“At first glance, Joe’s Coffee Shop doesn’t really look like a place you’d immediately walk into — it’s small, simple, and pretty unassuming from the outside. But that’s exactly what makes this family-owned spot so special. Once you step inside, it feels incredibly cozy, welcoming, and authentic.
We ended up having breakfast there twice during our stay because after our first visit, we already knew we wanted to come back the next morning. The food was delicious both times, freshly made, generous, and served with so much warmth and friendliness.
Places like this are what make a trip memorable. If you’re looking for a genuine, cozy breakfast spot in San Francisco, this is definitely one to visit.“

“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☺️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This place has some of the best pho I've had in a long time. The broth is rich and flavorful, the portions are generous, and the prices are surprisingly affordable. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and make you feel right at home. The owner is incredibly kind and genuinely cares about both the food and the customers,
If you're looking for authentic, delicious pho without spending a fortune, this is the spot. I've brought friends and family here, and everyone leaves happy.
And if you somehow don't like the pho here... I know you’re taste in food is horrible. 😅 Highly recommend! 🍜🔥“

“The food here is 1000/10. The general Cho chicken is absolutely delicious. It has no right being that good. The nice lady made it within 10min, it was chunks of large chicken lightly fried in a delicious sauce. Absolute hole in the wall spot. I can’t wait to come back to try more of their food. Keep in mind this is a take out only spot. She’s only one elderly lady so I think she’s trying to make it as easy as possible. Food was piping hot and fresh.“

“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!“

“The name is so fitting! King of noods indeed!
I was in SF for some work stuff and had to go there twice because it was that good !
The beef chow fun was the right balance of onions, noods, and meat! The meat was also super tender 😍
The cold beef tendons were really yummy too!
Next time, I need to try some of the greens and heard the dumplings were also very good!

The service was impeccable - the two young gentlemen did an excellent job managing a relatively busy / small place!

Overall highly recommend!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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. 😀🙁“

“Was so thrilled to have two vegetarian soup broth options- the mushroom and the tomato. Loved the sauce bar and the abundant veggies to choose from - triple tofu, triple greens, and triple mushroom?! Yes please :) Free tea was a great touch too“

“Dumpling era had authentic dumplings, noodles, and other Chinese dishes.

The sheng jian bao was yummy, but a little too thick IMO. I prefer the one in dumpling home.

The egg and chives pancake was crispy and had a sweet sauce.

The tofu sheet noodles were my favorite. The sauce had numbing spice.

The shredding pork in garlic sauce had woodear and bamboo shoots. The bamboo gave it a good funky flavor that I enjoyed.

We also got the shrimp and chives water boiled dumplings.

The service was friendly and they didn't rush us inspite of the fact that we were seated for a long time.

We also got the stir fried pea shoots. I loved these.

The spicy sauce at the table was very hot and reminded me of a momo chutney.“

“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.“

“Came here for the stinky tofu, and tried some of the other Taiwanese specialties... The fried green beans was a stand out, and the garlic cucumbers was very fresh. Also ordered the stewed pork bento box, which was their version of Taiwanese stewed minced pork over rice, which was served with a stewed whole egg, boiled bok choy, some yellow oshinko.... The crab pork soup dumplings were gigantic, about twice the size of the soup dumplings at DinTaiFung, but couldn't quite match up to it's famous brethren in terms of quality of ingredients. Then again, you're paying less than 1/2 the cost. Service was friendly and quick.... Finally, the stinky tofu wasn't that stinky... But did meet the expectations.... Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and not greasy at all. Would I come back? Yes“

“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.“
