50 Best Soup near Studio City

“I fear that sometimes, we all give high ratings to vegan restaurants, despite their being less than great, just to be encouraging for the team. This place, however, is legit amazing. Flavorful, fresh, and a wonderful, genuine bowl of noodles. If you’re on the fence, wondering about the authenticity of all of the glowing Redwhite Boneless reviews, I would just give it a try.“

“GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE ON TOP OF THE ABSOLUTE DELI FOOD - VERY PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT <3“

“The best Chinese in L.A !!! Always fresh & made to order.. excellent service too!“

“Great customer service! Will def return“

“I am by no means a seolleongtang connoisseur but Hanbat is well-known for a reason! They have a very small menu but they are very good at what they serve. I opted for the brisket in the soup. The beef bone broth is very beefy and the brisket is very tender. The meat to soup ratio is higher than what I expected, probably also because it sinks to the bottom of the bowl. Their rice was perfectly chewy and fluffy, and kimchi was refreshing. Keep in mind that to-go containers are an extra $0.50 so bring your own if you anticipate you will have leftovers! The portion is not huge though.“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“We ordered vegetable soontofu, mushroom soontofu and glass noodle, and specified that we want vegetable stock. Majority of the sides are vegan and the staff knew which ones are vegan. The restaurant was packed on a Monday evening! Updated from previous review on 2026-01-13“

“This place also has a long history in Koreatown. The food is impeccable.
The prices have gone up, but if you're craving dongchimi noodles and meat,
this is the place to go. The meat is all delicious, but the prices have gone up significantly compared to before, so you'll have to settle for beef tongue or Gilmok Gui. It's a place you'll return to for the taste.“

“Honestly… no notes

Hidden gem in busy ktown
The sides are generous and delicious
The mains are flavorful and hearty
What more could you ask for

I can’t count the number of times I’ve gotten takeout here. Favorites include kimchi fried rice, kimchi stew, and their fishes, but all of them are hits

Highly recommend!“

“A 4 in one location! Loved the variety of the different type of foods! The soups were delicious, the smash burger smelled good(didn’t taste it was for my young son) which he said was good, the arugula salad so tasty and the pink power salad was indescribable(that good) definitely coming back again. The young lady who took our order was so kind too!“

“อาหารอร่อย บริการดีมากๆครับ 😇🙏🏻“

“The Baseline: For a seafood fast casual restaurant the fish/seafood needs to be fresh, the presentation of the food should be comforting and respect the delicacy of the seafood, and there must be a selection of accompanying offerings.

Food: The lobster is high quality here and the preparation is excellent. The Lobster Roll sampler is really good to try the different preparations. The full lobster roll is meaty and filling. The chips are nice but wish I had fries. The soda selection is awesome (got a Maine Blueberry soda). The price is what you get when you order the lobster.

Service: Counter order deliver to your table service. Good and efficient.

Ambiance: The restaurant is really well presented and has good decor. The bathroom was clean. The seating was well laid out and the lighting was good in the restaurant. Unfortunately, the outside is Santa Monica 2025 and is sketchy at night (not the restaurant’s fault)“

“Delicious Udon and other Japanese specialties“

“Staff friendly and awesome Thai foods“

“their foods are good.. i like it..“

“We were driving around shopping and got hungry, so we stopped in to Monta Factory. I was completely unfamiliar with the food, but the aromas were fantastic. We decided to play it safe and got the chicken sandwiches plus a couple of the cheese khinkali. While we were waiting for the food, several large orders went out catering style. So, although we were the only patrons dining in, it was clear the restaurant does a good catering business.

Our food arrived in a few minutes, and it all looked great. The chicken sandwich had a generous piece of baked chicken. There were pickled veggies, roasted peppers, a great garlic sauce, all in a perfectly toasted chibatta bun. All together, it amounted to a wonderful sandwich. It was delicious and filling. A great combination of flavors.

I had never had a khinkali before, so didn’t know what to expect. It was a very cheesy, lightly fried dumpling. Very good!

After having a sample of what they make, I want to go back and have a selection of the rest. I’m definitely coming back.“

“Delicious 👌 the greatest meal at Korea town LA“

“My Favorite Thai Restaurant. They serve authentic, freshly made Thai Food. Some of the entrees are not in a lot Of Thai Retairant like the Shrimp Paste Rice or the Stewed Leg Rice. Service is friendly and felt sincere. They also have premade Thai food that’s very authentic. This place is such an underrated hidden gem.“

“I arrived last minute, feeling unwell and not in the best condition. Surprisingly, they didn’t turn anyone away who wanted a plate. It was genuinely the first time in a while that I felt truly cared for and ensured that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, was taken care of. To the hardworking cooks and chefs, and the dedicated servers, I want to express my deepest gratitude. All I wanted was a bowl of soup, but you went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a plate before they left, even as you were closing up shop. A special thank you to Almira and Jackie for their exceptional service.

I’m not one to leave reviews, but the family outside you served was happy, the full house inside was happy, and this girl with just a bowl of soup is happy. I genuinely believe that they deserve a raise. It’s time to have a conversation about it. Please make it happen. Thank you to the big bosses and owners for recognizing the hard work and dedication of your team. They truly deserve it.“

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

“No frlls. People say its a hole in the wall. Friendly and fast service. The parking lot attendant is friendly. Thei rSulLungTang is tasty and we get it a couple times a month. The panchan is minimal but the cabbage kimchi and Kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi) are tasty.“

“Came in for the first time a few years ago because I was interested in the "twice-fried noodles" (tsuivan)... was instantly hooked. Everything here is just produced with so much attention to detail and served with such charisma. Highly recommend, also try the salted milk tea 😁😁“

“Test its by yourself.clean foods and good service“

“100% RECOMENDADO DELICIOSA TODA LA COMIDA ♥️“

“Great customer service and delicious and flavorful food“

“I stayed at my friend’s place for five days while I was in LA. On the last day, I wanted to repay them a bit with a meal. It was a nice Korean place. I knew they wouldn’t let me pay, so I slipped out in the middle of the meal, gave my card to the waiter, and paid. I really thanked him for going along with it. The place was packed by noon. I can see why it’s popular.“

“Very great food and good service. Good decor and there is lots of parking outside. Only downside is the menu is only in Korean but just use google translate.

I like how peaceful it is. It gave me the time and quiet to finally think about the social economic state of the world right now. Food is fire.“

“OMG I loved the experience. Heaven bless this sweet, nostalgic restaurant. The Korean lady who served me was very friendly and caring, the atmosphere reminded me of family. I tried their breakfast with seaweed soup and the food was delicious. The side dishes are homemade and have many varieties. 100% recommend 💖“

“The place to go for delicious pork kbbq! I highly recommend the thick pork belly, marinated pork ribs, and the corn cheese. The pork marinade was flavorful and not as sweet as other kbbq places. They give a nice variety of side dishes which were really good with the pork belly.

The service was also top notch. Very attentive and friendly.“

“This place has got the plaza vibe. The music, the crowd, the mix of smells coming from different stalls… it’s got that real neighborhood feel, the kind of place where my mom, who already makes friends everywhere she goes, somehow managed to make double here before the food even arrived.

Customer service? Fantastic. People? Even better. It’s the kind of spot where you feel like you belong.

Now, the food. Undeniably good. The Pollo Pibil, Poc Chuc, and Cochinita Pibil all carried that slow-cooked depth you hope for. Smoky, tangy, with those earthy citrus notes that hit just right. But then… the portions. Let’s just say, if your mom’s looking down at her plate after two bites asking, “Where’s the rest?”, you’ve officially crossed into emotional appetizer territory. Delicious, but not nearly enough to satisfy a hungry heart (or a hungry parent).

Had to whip out the wallet again just to make sure she didn’t leave hangry. So, let’s just say I wish the portions were larger (more family style).“

“The best marinated crab I’ve had in the States - both spicy and soy sauce. They ship the crabs from Korea! The staff are so kind, personable, and attentive. I can’t wait to come back and to bring my family and friends. 너무 맛있게 먹었어요~“

“hands down my #1 korean food joint! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Excellent, clean, attentive, friendly service. Definitely would go back.“

“Here’s a concise, polished review This takeout bossam delivers the kind of comfort and balance that makes the dish a Korean staple. The pork belly looks tender and cleanly sliced, with just enough fat to keep each bite rich without feeling heavy. The spread of banchan — crisp kimchi, bright pickles, seasoned greens, and spicy squid — brings the variety and punch you expect from a proper Korean meal, even in a to‑go container.

It’s the kind of takeout that feels thoughtfully prepared rather than thrown together, giving you all the flavors and textures of a sit‑down bossam experience right at home.“

“Glad Hurry Curry has reopened after closing their Sawtelle location. if you are new and don't know what to order, try the chicken cutlet curry and the Chicken pasta with Alfredo sauce. The curry is bold and savory. make sure to request picked vegetables for the curry. the chicken pasta is also rich and savory. both dishes complement each other without repeating the same experience. the portions are large so bring friends or bring home plenty of portions for leftovers.“

“Great atmosfier, amazing food, unforgettable time with friends!!!$“

“🍖 Soy-Braised Beef Ribs
Big bowl with 4–5 huge ribs, super flavorful. Braised until fall-off-the-bone tender — honestly, you barely need to chew. Great portion for a family of three, and only $30.

🍲 Beef & Offal Soup with Noodles
Very generous with the beef. Rich, comforting broth that’s not too salty. Comes with noodles and is super warming — kids loved this one.

🥣 Hangover Soup
Went for the spicy version. Deep, comforting flavor, with tender pork. Very warming.

❤️ Most soups are just a little over $10 and come with rice and side dishes.

🦐 Marinated Raw Shrimp
A pleasant surprise — fresh, sweet, slightly reminiscent of Ningbo-style shrimp. Only $8.

✨ Nothing fancy, just solid, home-style dishes.
✨ Great value for money.“

“Tina, the owner, is an amazing person and great Thai chef. I dined in her cozy restaurant and we had a great conversation. I absolutely loved my Penang chicken curry over rice! It’s next to a famous boxing gym - all her favorite champions come by to eat after their workout. BYOB from the market next door“

“I stopped by for lunch on a weekday thinking it wouldn’t be too busy—but the place was already packed shortly after opening, with nearly every table filled and Korean being spoken all around. That’s always a good sign.

The space isn’t large, but it feels right: clean, tidy, and welcoming. You can tell the ingredients are fresh, and there’s a sense of care in how the food is prepared—something that goes beyond just flavor.

We ordered three dishes, all standout:

27. Maeun Deung-Galbi Jjim (Spicy Braised Beef Short Ribs)
The portion was generous—five large beef ribs served with pumpkin, rice cakes, and potatoes, all simmering together. The staff kindly offered to cut the ribs and pumpkin into bite-sized pieces, and they did it carefully, making everything easy to eat. The meat was fall-apart tender and well-seasoned, without being overly rich.
But the highlight: adding the melted cheese on top. Watching the cheese stretch over the ribs was worth it alone—so aromatic and satisfying. At $55, this pot easily feeds three people. Great value.

13. Wang Galbi Tang (Premium Beef Rib Soup)
The broth was clear yet deeply flavorful, clearly slow-simmered for hours. The beef rib was so tender it fell off the bone with a gentle nudge of the chopsticks. Comforting and wholesome.

8. Seok Uh Sulung Tang (Beef Tongue & Brisket Soup)
A milder, clean-tasting soup packed with thinly sliced beef brisket, cheek meat, knee cartilage, and glass noodles. The beef tongue was tender, and the cartilage had a nice chew. A dash of the provided black pepper and salt brightened the flavors perfectly.

We also tried the meat dumplings—thin skin filled with pork and chives, simple but well-made.

This isn’t a flashy spot, but the food feels sincere and hearty. If you appreciate honest, homestyle Korean cooking, this place deserves a visit.

Parking: street parking available, or $3–$4 valet in the plaza.“

“I rarely feel this compelled to glaze restaurants like this. This food cleansed my soul. Instead of water, you also get an herbal tea made with 8 different ingredients and it’s equally as nourishing. The owner is extremely kind and genuine, and made our experience homey, relaxing, and cleansing“

“조미료가 전혀 들어가지 않은 깔끔하고 맛있고 풍성한 음식은 한 사람 한 사람의 건강을 우선하는 주인의 따뜻한 마음까지 합하여 최고의 레스토랑으로 추천합니다!!!“

“A must. So delicious. Can't wait to go back!! Thank goodness for friends that share food stories. �“

“I want to share my heartfelt appreciation for Javon, whose kindness and dedication truly made our Thanksgiving event unforgettable. We hosted a gathering for more than 75 residents, and Olive Garden catered our meal. The food was wonderful, but we noticed one item was missing. I reached out, but with so much happening, I wasn’t able to follow up.

What happened next genuinely touched me: Javon arrived in person before the event even ended, carrying the missing item, a gift card, and a warm, sincere smile. It wasn’t just the fact that he fixed the mistake—it was the care, the thoughtfulness, and the effort he put into making things right. In the middle of a busy holiday week, he still made us a priority.

Because of him, the party flowed beautifully, and our residents enjoyed a truly special celebration. His gesture meant more than he probably realizes. The event was a success not only because of Olive Garden’s food, but because Javon went out of his way to ensure we were taken care of.

Thank you, Javon. Your compassion, professionalism, and heart made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful. 🙏❤️🍝“

““We have been coming to Thai Victory with our whole family — my husband and our children — for the past two years 😊 We absolutely love this place, especially the Tom Yum and Pad Thai 🍜🔥 We have been living in America for three years and have tried Thai food in many places, but this is the only place we truly enjoyed.
We would also like to highlight the service: very kind and pleasant people ❤️ We met a young family who work there and are the owners of the restaurant. They always treat us with warmth and care, and we are very happy to have met such wonderful people 🙏 We sincerely recommend this place from the bottom of our hearts 💛”“

“Today I went to eat with my friend and I liked the food and I’m happy to see that they changed their staff since previously the other boy had a terrible attitude to serve customers but today I left very satisfied to see that they served me very well“

“Authentic Thai gem on Oxnard Blvd! From the warm Sawadika welcome to the last bite, everything was perfect.
Creamy Tom Ka Kai soup, flavorful Spicy Basil Chicken, crunchy Cashew Chicken, and heavenly Mango Sticky Rice.
Family-owned, friendly hosts, fresh ingredients, and true Thai taste. Highly recommended!“

“We had a great experience at our first time visit here. We celebrated my son's birthday and brought in a cake. The food was amazing except for the Alaskan salmon that they substituted from what we originally ordered. They have an all day happy hour on Monday to Thursday. The service was excellent and the servers even sang happy birthday when they brought out the cake. The place was nice and clean and it wasn't crowded when we dined. The only problem was the people on the next table were too loud and there was no wall dividing them to our table so the guy sitting behind my son's girlfriend keeps on bumping into her every time he moved. We will definitely go back here.“

“This was one of my childhood go to spots from when I used to live in L.A. It has been about eight years since I last came, and even though I do not fully remember the exact taste, I just remember really liking the food. Coming back while visiting did not disappoint at all.
Thank you to the lady who works here for taking our photo. She even told me to post it, which made me laugh.
I ate two pans, and yes, the servers can seem a little curt at times, but if you are a local or someone who has been coming for years, you understand that it is just part of the place. The food may not be super extravagant, but you can feel the sincerity in it.“

“If you’re looking for great pho, this Vietnamese restaurant absolutely delivers. The broth is rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced, with deep flavor that tastes like it’s been simmered for hours. The noodles were fresh, the meat was tender, and the portion size was generous. Everything came out hot and beautifully prepared, with fresh herbs that really completed the dish. Service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. This is easily one of the best places around for a satisfying bowl of pho, and I’ll definitely be back again.“

“I've been eating at Mandarin terrace for a year now and let me tell you it's a MUST TRY!!!
from the soft noodles to the walnut shrimp (which I'm addicted to) all made fresh to order. Portions are generous so I recommend to visit hungry.“
