50 Best Soup near Bethesda

“😋Outstanding food! Everything was amazing!“

“Great servers! This was a great surprise to find this place so far south from Maine.“

“I went here for dinner with my wife and parents. We were having issues with the app and Ryan helped us out on the register since the kiosk wasn’t working correctly. He knew my parents by name and they knew his. They are in their late 70s and small gestures like him looking out for them and quickly fixing ordering issues are really meaningful. It’s nice to know someone is willing to help immediately when anyone has issues there.“

“I visited Miss Toya"s Creole on Saturday September 30th. I took my oldest son for his birthday ?. My waitress Hope gave excellent customer service. The food was awesome as always. The manager Imai came to our table numerous times to make sure everything was good. Please go to Miss Toyas in Silver Springs Md the food and customer service will not disappoint you.“

“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.“

“Cozy restaurant with big personality. Our server was happy to be there and answer any questions asked. We got the steamed dumplings and crab Rangoon. By far the best crab Rangoon we’ve enjoyed to date. Will be back to try the drunken noodles!“

“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.“

“Nice food good service and good prices“

“I’m going to post the same review I gave on Yelp - this is a 5 Star place! After a day in DC, my family decided to try Soul Thai on our way home. What a terrific Experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was some of the best Thai we have ever had. The Pad Thai was amazing. The Hang Over Noodles (Drunken Noodles) was exceptional. And the red curry was by far the best I’ve had in the area. The ambiance was quite pleasant as well. Initially we were sat in an area that was a little noisy for our taste, but they graciously moved us to a much quieter section. The owner, Nancy came over after our meal and was very appreciative of our comments on the meal. She shared with us that she personally picks the freshest ingredients she can find to ensure the quality of the food. I would highly recommend Soul Thai to everyone. We will be coming back soon. THANK YOU, Nancy!!!!“

“Service was great and beyond exceptional. A place to try for special occasion for seafood. We had the grilled octopus and sardines for appetizers. Both are great options. We had the Connecticut version of lobster roll which came in hot. The catch of the day was a pan seared cod. It was good. The hit was the squid ink risotto. This place is great to celebrate special occasions but not for weekly or even monthly dining. Would be cost prohibitive.“

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

“So good! Loved everything and service was great“

“Great food and great name!“

“Lo mejor en comida mexicana“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Loved it!!!!... Nice and Cozy“

“Great service! Food came out piping hot in less than 10 minutes. I had veggie spring rolls and my son had the shrimp pho. Both were delicious although I personally could’ve used more flavor in the pho. Love the decor and was able to find street parking right out back. Mind you, it was the middle of the day on a Friday. Wasn’t too busy inside but the ambience and music was nice.“

“I had a delicious lunch at Eerkin's in Rockville today. My friend and I shared an eggplant salad, an order of manta dumplings stuffed with pumpkin, and an order of fried noodles with chicken. Everything was delicious. The portions were very generous. We enjoyed making our choice from the tea bar--one serving with a complimentary refill was plenty for two people. Service was friendly and attentive. Parking is convenient and free for the first two hours. Looking forward to a return trip!“

“I want to personally thank the wonderful staff at this restaurant! I was quite ill and not only to take give me medicine with. They drove me to the store so that I could get medicine and clean up. The kindness was incredible and I actually cried because of that kindness.. I can’t wait to get back to DC to show them how much I appreciate everything they did! I will always remember what you did. Thank you so much!“

“I love Phonatics. Something about the texture and flavor of the broth makes it my favorite, and I love sitting at the window and watching 14th St. There is even a bald eagle that flies around Columbia Heights that I occasionally spot from the window.“

“3 Reasons. Food was plentiful and so good!, the owners super friendly and the location was perfect!😍“

“We've been here a few times now and the food has been incredible every time. The quality is really good, the sizes are on the larger side, and the price is affordable during a time where nothing is affordable.
I'm a fan of the burritos but their pupusas are a must as well. Would definitely recommend and we will be going back.“

“I came to this cozy Vietnamese restaurant primarily to enjoy a warm, flavorful bowl of pho, but I ended up leaving with a sense of belonging and being part of a welcoming family. Omg, this place was unlike any other I've experienced. Its strong sense of community, along with the caring and a strong Mom made the pho here special and memorable.“

“I’ve been eating at this place since 2023, and it is definitely the definition of “Comfort food”. There are many Pho places in DC, but this one has the best taste! The Pho has always been delicious, with a consistent taste and good amount of meat. The dishes are varied and served fast but without missing a detail. The prices are also very good.“

“Used to be one my favorite places for Korean bbq, and was high on my list of places to recommend to others, but with each visit I have noticed the portion size getting smaller. I feel like the price to meat ratio now is becoming a bit unfair (at least for me). Hence, 4 stars.“

“Best sandwich I’ve ever had. I got the turkey and Brie. You can see the cranberry sauce/relish brewing right there in a big stainless steel pot on the stove right behind the cashier. Everything was warm and melty and delicious.

Great ingredients. Friendly staff. Good music playing. Fast service. Chill little tucked away spot. First time here so I can’t speak to rest of the menu but it’s gotta be great. Five stars.“

“$2 Crazy Hour is absolutely insane! They have a great selection of sushi and various appetizers. The sushi is the same high quality as their dinner service ,the fish pieces are huge and incredibly fresh. The alcohol are 50% off, and the selection is massive,they're not stingy like other places that only offer one or two brands. It's a super friendly restaurant, and you absolutely cannot find a better deal in town!“

“AMAZING !!If I could give then 10 stars I would. I ordered the chipotle chicken bacon affordable,fresh ingredients , and delicious delicious. On the uber app it didn’t give me an option to add avocado so I put it in the notes and they delivered. I even got a complimentary sweet lol. This is my second time ordering from them and I’ll continue to do so

Update: This is my 3rd time ordering from this place and I decided to go in person!
The hospitality the freshness the attention to detail. This time I ordered their salad and I added chicken and other things wow! The quantity and the quality for the price I’m still stunned I’m clearly obsessed with this place. Fresh SUPER FRESH INGREDIENTS!“

“We love the food ?“

“All I can say is .... wonderful pho at this restaurant. Definitely reconmend!.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an absolutely amazing experience at this Thai restaurant! I ordered the Pad Broccoli with beef, and it was perfection — tender meat, fresh vegetables, and that rich, savory flavor that hits all the right notes. The service was off the charts — friendly, attentive, and genuine. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome that made me feel right at home. The pricing was spot-on for the quality and portion size, and the overall atmosphere was inviting and relaxed. I’ll definitely be coming back for more — this place has officially become one of my go-to spots for great Thai food!“

“My recent experience at Olive Garden was truly exceptional, surpassing my own expectations. Because of the warm and attentive hospitality of Brittany, the my mother and I now consider this our Olive Garden home and encourage anyone reading this to visit this genuinely cozy location.“

“Epic SmokeHouse – Arlington, VA Overall Rating: 8/10 Parking lot upgrades at the Pentagon brought G-FORCE to Arlington, but we didn’t expect to stumble upon BBQ royalty just a mile down the road at Epic SmokeHouse. Let’s just say… the name fits. We kicked things off with the App Sampler—and every bite hit like a flavor freight train. Smoked wings so tender they felt like they’d just left the hog pen—crispy skin, juicy interior, absolute perfection. Burnt ends? Melt-in-your-mouth with just enough sauce to whisper "I’m fancy" without screaming it. And the Kalua Pig Rolls… I still don’t know what’s in them, but I want to shake the chef’s hand (or hug him). Then came the showstopper: Brisket Poutine. Hand-cut fries crisped to golden excellence, smothered in rich brown butter gravy, melty cheese curds, and that sweet smoky brisket—topped with green onions and sesame seeds for that crunch-and-pop finale. This dish is dangerous… the kind of comfort food that makes you forget what day it is. The House Secret Burnt Mac rolled in hot in a mini skillet—smoky, cheesy, and just saucy enough to coat every bite without drowning it. Balanced, bold, and addicting. Don’t sleep on the Collard Greens either—just the right amount of flavor, a lil’ bit of spice but not too bold. A solid side that holds its own. Final Verdict: If you’re in Arlington for business, BBQ, or just breathing—get to Epic SmokeHouse. And if you're lucky, G-FORCE might’ve just made the parking lot a little smoother on your way in. #PaintAndPlateCrew #SupportLocal #EpicEats #BBQNearThePentagon #HIREAVET #GFORCEApproved #8OutOf10 #WINWITHVSB #PAINTCORPS“

“I love this bakery! I go often to grab bread or baked goods for the weekend or to bring to a friends. Great location in town and good vibes there! Cute place to read a book and relax. I wish they had more Gluten free items for my husband because the gluten free carrot cake they have is always good but the only item!“

“If you want a great breakfast, with homemade home fries and great pancakes, go to Madison deli. They also have terrific sandwiches salads and soups. During non-Covid times, they make the best Korean bulgogi around. I highly recommend it!“

“This tiny hole in the wall is amazing. The food is rich and delicious. I have eaten Italian across the globe and rarely come across a more balanced and delicious dish. Did I mention the portions are huge? The servers are so nice and the restaurant has an eclectic vibe. I cannot recommend it enough.“

“Always a great time at Kura! Always bring my daughter, she loves the Robot helping with drinks! I'm not some sushi connoisseur but I like it and I've never gotten sick eating it. They always have specials and keep sending me $5 n $10 coupons for future visits! So I'll keep coming back.
Oh... Reserve your spot ahead of time on App! Comes in clutch when they busy!“

“I have been going to this place for the past four years and I can say it is by far my favorite pho restaurant! You know a place is good when they only have one type of dish on the menu! The atmosphere is perfect for a quick bite, most people are in and out, it does not claim to be anything fancy - just simple hearty food. Be aware that this is a CASH ONLY establishment, I always come with a $20 bill and that is always enough to cover my meal + tip. I would recommend the eye round steak & brisket pho. Always one of my favorites to cheer me up. There is free parking outside of this establishment. The manager is clear, straight to the point, and will get you your meal quick and efficiently! Give this place a try if you are in the area.“

“Yesterday was my first visit to Elephant Jumps. I was impressed by the many menu items I’d never heard of before, especially the ones that said there was no option to substitute ingredients, even the meat. That tells me they want their customers to experience those dishes in their traditional form. Everything I ordered was delicious and I can’t wait to go back!“

“This is a wonderful, low-key restaurant in the heart of Courthouse serving amazing Indian-Nepalese food. I ordered a vegetarian Thali and the curries tasted very fresh and homemade. The thali also comes with a good quantity of rice and fresh naan all for a very reasonable price. While there is no seating inside the restaurant, there are places to seat outside in the plaza. Overall, this was a great experience for a quick takeout spot and I will definitely be back!“

“This is great Pho, would totally recommend. Awesome fast service :)“

“This is only the 2nd time I've been to an Olive Garden and I have to say that for a chain restaurant, I am pleasantly surprised. I mean, this isn't your Italian grandma's Sunday supper with gravy or marinara smothering everything but this is tasty food, executed exactly as described and if you like endless soup, salad, soda and bread sticks, then this is your lucky day. The servers are friendly, attentive and efficient. So, whether it's a mid-week break from cooking or somebody'“

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

“Huge portions! You get potatoes with every platter, they were over cooked for my taste. First timers will be a little confused as to the order of things but the staff will quickly get you sorted out. Nice outside dining area, birds are a little aggressive.“

“Great food and nice atmosphere“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As a keen Panera Bread customer across the States, I’ve visited many locations, but this one at Dipont Circle truly stands out. From the moment you walk in, the staff greet you with warm, friendly smiles and provide remarkably efficient service, making the experience feel effortless. The store itself is impeccably clean, with a welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or planning to sit and relax.

The outdoor seating is a real highlight—beautiful tables bathed in sunlight, ideal for enjoying a meal while taking in the surroundings. The food is consistently cooked to perfection and presented with care, showing attention to detail in every dish. It’s clear that the team takes pride in their work, from the friendly service to the inviting environment and the quality of the food.

Overall, this Panera Bread location exemplifies everything you could want in a visit: great service, clean and comfortable spaces, lovely outdoor seating, and delicious, well-presented food. Truly a standout experience—well done to the team!“

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

“⚠️ This Panera is located within a hospital system and to avoid confusion, enter at the WOMEN'S HOSPITAL entrance ⚠️

Parking is free for the first 30 minutes in the parking garage.

This Panera location has limited seating but offers a full menu 24 hours a day.“

“While the vermicelli bowl got great reviews from my friends, the chicken pho was lacking. The noodles themselves were a sizable portion and well-cooked. The portion of chicken was a good amount, but it was chewy and dry despite the broth. The broth was lacking flavor which could’ve been improved with stronger seasoning, but the sriracha helped. Overall, it was a good meal, but I’d try something other than the pho ga next time.“
