31 Best Soup in Washington

“We're staying in the area for work, and we stopped here for dinner. All I can say is that the coconut soup is the best you'll ever try. It's absolutely amazing. The rest of our food was good as well, but that stood out as the best I've ever had in my entire life. I may come back again just for that.“

“While in the area, I stumbled upon this hidden gem. From the moment that I walked in, I was greeted politely, informed of the days special and offered a tasting. Everything was so delicious that I can't only recommend one item. Will definitely be a repeat customer in the near future.“

“Ambar's newest location does not disappoint. If you know Ambar, it goes without saying the food is amazing. new offerings on the menu gave me some new favorites to add to my already long list. New cocktails for a new address, yes and thank you! The design esthetic is light and refreshing...And the 2nd floor ceiling is an instagram dream. Easily 5 stars.“

“With the weather beginning to get colder - what better time to start exploring to find great Pho restaurants in the DMV.

My friend and I decided to try Pho House because of its very central location, and also because of its great reviews.

Overall, the food was delicious and the we were able to add extra meats and make substitutions to our orders which was great.

The broth that I had with my Pho was very well made. The flavours were substantive, as were the meats that were in the dish.“

“It was my first time there. Food was great. I would definitely return.“

“Visiting from St Louis and so glad we came across Luke’s Lobster! We ordered Luke’s flight so we could try all three rolls. Each one was so delicious. We also got the lobster bisque and NE clam chowder. Very good!! Friendly service and neat atmosphere.“

“Great Service!!! Lobster Roll was a nice segue from a regular fish sandwich.“

“i am so thrilled to have found these Gazpachos. incredibly tasty and convenient.“

“We’ve ordered pho to go before and tonight we dined in and ordered rice platter and vermicelli. I’m pleased to say this is one of the very solid Asian restaurants I’ve ever been to. And definitely one of the top in DC. I highly recommend and this will be one of our regular restaurants to go to since we live close by.“

“We are visiting from Tennessee and wanted authentic Thai cuisine. We found it at Sampannee!!! The best Thai meal I have ever eaten. The cocktails were delicious and the food was perfection! Very friendly kitchen and the waitress was very friendly. I’ll be dreaming of Sampannee for many months! So, so good!!“

“If you’re in search of authentic Thai cuisine, look no further than this hidden gem. Tucked away like a best-kept secret, this unassuming spot delivers food that is as delicious as its artful presentation. Each dish is meticulously crafted by the talented Thai chef/owner, whose passion for authentic flavors shines through every bite. The flavor reminded me of homemade food in Thailand.

The service is impeccable, adding to the experience, with the server/bartender who made as feel like valued guests in a cozy, bright and cheerful space. In a neighborhood increasingly filled with gentrified spots, this place is a refreshing reminder of what real, freshly made food should be. I wish I lived here just for the opportunity to dine at this incredible restaurant more often!“

“Food was excellent and the space is really pretty! Great place for vegans. There aren't specifically vegan items but many menu items can be made vegan, just ask your server, ours was very knowledgeable and quick to check with the chef to make sure a dish could be made vegan. We had a great time and will definitely be back!“

“We were in DC over the weekend visiting family and had an incredible experience at PhoNatics Noodle Bar! We ate inside the restaurant (although there TONS of to-go orders picked up while we were there. The service was outstanding, and the food was even better. Our group couldn’t stop raving about the Banh Mi Beef and Banh Mi Grilled Pork sandwiches. The caramelized meat paired perfectly with the fresh veggies and sauce— absolute perfection!

For appetizers, we went with the Beef Summer Rolls after seeing them recommended in so many reviews, and they did not disappoint. Fresh, light, and packed with flavor!

Another standout was the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli. It was like a noodle salad packed with fresh veggies and savory, perfectly grilled chicken. The Pho was also solid, but the the items above were the real stars of the show.

Everyone in our group gave this place a 10/10! Highly recommend if you're craving Vietnamese cuisine. Can't wait to come back!“

“Delicious authentic Vietnamese food! I've been here three times now, and each time I loved what I ordered. The first time I had the rice plate with grilled lemongrass chicken (com ga nuong), the second time I had the pho tai chin (eye round steak and well done brisket), and the third time I had the vermicelli bowl with grilled lemongrass chicken (bun ga nuong). The lemongrass chicken here is so good. The food reminds me of the rice plates, vermicelli bowls, and pho that I had when I visited Saigon last year. The staff is all super friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them, practicing my Vietnamese. I will always try to stop by here again when I'm in the area. I highly recommend Pho 72!“

“Spices is always delicious. It’s one of our go-tos in the neighborhood and has literally never been a disappointment. When you have a spot like this, it’s not easy to remember to give them a review. It’s just such a part of our routine you forget how important online reviews are for restaurants.My personal favorites are their lychee martinis and crab wontons. The sushi is always fresh and delicious and the staff are always very kind.“

“Best authentic Shanghai soup dumpling in town! Super delicious and healthy!“

“I am a foreigner in DC. It was my first time eating at Panera bread. I bought the sandwich with chicken and avocados. Omg, what a delicious taste, very original, super soft and tasty bread. I loved it, it is a unique sandwich style,
Staff was also super helpful.“

“Wonderful Mom and Pop run breakfast and lunch cafe. A block from the Morrow Hotel and right next to the Metro. The owners were fabulous and great to talk with. Was visiting D.C. with my Mom, son, and nephew and it was are go to for breakfast while we were there.“

“I love Panera the sandwiches and the salads. Yesterday my hubby and I ate lunch���“

“We love the food ?“

“A little bit confusing to get to the location as the place is inside a building. It’s a bit small but easy to take out your orders. Staffs were kind and friendly. No seating inside but there’s food court near by with available seatings.“

“Hands down the best chicken soup I’ve ever had 🎉 A true supporter and fan now after trying at the IDDBA show! 💕“

“Great sandwiches! Today I enjoyed the grilled chicken burrito. It was outstanding! Nice and fresh! The beef and chicken cheesesteaks are also delicious!“

“Had a great time here! The chicken soup dumplings are delicious and I love the Tous le Jours bakery (especially their ube donuts baby choux). The inside is chill, with cute seating and a cafeteria hall seating. The guard at the door is always friendly and helpful. The only downside is that sometimes the other food items can be a bit average. Otherwise, everything is great! Will definitely continue returning.“

“Great waffle with an amazing sausage, egg and cheese sandwich! The atmosphere is so nice inside, and the chill music was a great touch. If you like apple juice, try the sparkling apple juice! It’s so good! Also the workers are so nice. Such a great breakfast spot in DC 😊“

“Absolutely delicious and authentic. The Ka Prow with chicken, shrimp, and fried egg blew my mind. It was the perfect combination of spicy and savory. The service was excellent as well, and the restaurant atmosphere is relaxing and pleasant. They have a bar featuring a couple decent southeast Asian beers as well. The mango sticky rice is a pleasantly sweet Thai dessert.“

“Food: food was great, only deduction was the chicken appetizer was extremely small for the price paid. The pineapple frid rice was really good but pricy at almost $23. About 5 pieces of juicy shrimp were in the dish as well. Kruba cashew chicken was good.

Service: got there as soon as they opened for lunch so seated right away and food was quickly delivered.

Atmosphere: nice but a bit dated. Many of the tables are uneven and no longer sit together flush. Ambiance was nice, Thai decor all around and wooden vibe.

Final impression: very good for a quick lunch in downtown DC and head back to the office. Might be added to a regular rotation in DC lunch adventures.“

“staff is very knowledgeable and kind. their the only cafe I know where you can. get breakfast, lunch, and dessert in one order. awesomeness!!!“

“I love Delicious sandwiches.“

“Love the breakfast sandwich. Bear claw is my favorite pastry.“

“The new manager Maria and her staff arr amazing. So warm and friendly. I have been a Panera member for years and I had to come back with my husband just so he could experience it for himself and they did not disappoint. They seem to be doing everything right keep up the great work.“
