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.“

“came to this restaurant for the first time and I got the Thai iced tea, tom kha soup and Mango sticky rice it was Super good and they were able to make alterations upon my request. The restaurant is super cute and the waiters Danny and Vinny were super sweet and attentive. Will be back“

“Hottest new seafood restaurant near DuPont Circle. Best Lobster Risotto I’ve had in my life! The Lobster Bisque was very creamy with large chunks of fresh meat. Topped it off with Key Lime Pie in a cup. The owners are very friendly and the service was excellent. Definitely a 5-star place!“

“Nice food good service and good prices“

“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.“

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

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Fui almorzar y me pedí una fajita de carne y estaba muy buena, la recomendo.“

“The place to get a decent sandwich that actually tastes amazing. The flavor profile is fantastic. There are many options available such as turkey, pork, beef, and vegetarian. It's more of a fast casual spot but it's definitely not fast food. Overall, it's a great local spot that cares for its craft.“

“So good! Loved everything and service was great“

“We ate here for one of our Friday night family dinners. Loved that there were already a few dishes on the table - salad, spicy, pickled radish, japchae, kimchi and regular radish. Then one person delivered water for the table. We all ordered the Puzukan special. I ordered the herb pork belly and pork galbi. My oldest ordered the spicy pork bulgogi and ribs. Hubby ordered a thick pork belly (unsure of the name) and regular beef bulgogi. Youngest ordered brisket and spicy beef bulgogi. I love that they cook for you. The young lady who assisted us was wonderful. My daughters also ordered a fruit drink that was quite tasty. The other waiters delivered the accompanying banchan which were pretty good. The meat was hit or miss. My youngest loved both her choices. My oldest didn't like her ribs because they were sweet but enjoyed the spicy pork. Hubby's thick pork belly was completely flavorless even with the sauces. There was no helping it. But his bulgogi was good. My herb pork was decent but the galbi was freaking amazing. We also ordered the cheesecake mango bingsu which was honestly the highlight of the night. Overall we give this place a 4.“

“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 ordered the Pho Tai, Gau... OMG so good. I ordered delivery and it was still fresh. There was no option on the third party app to request extra limes so I called to requests and the individual on the other end was extremely kind. Back to the food, it was GREAT as delivery... I can only imagine it is phenomenal as dine in and piping hot. Bravo.“

“Great food and great name!“

“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!“

“zeadon Malik and staff were extremely welcoming and the food and drinks were excellent. the place was clean“

“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.“

“Love Springbone. Someone I know also Gluten-Free and clean eater mentioned SB to me a long time ago and honestly I forgot the name and all about it. Since I found it, it has become a staple in my life. I like to cook but Springbone gives me an enjoyable and delicious break from it, knowing that they care about the same things as me and do it so wonderfully. Thank you SB“

“A hidden gem in an industrial park of wonderful Salvadoran food.

I’ve sampled most of the menu and never been disappointed. Prices are great as well.

The Papusas are incredible, and they sling a mean breakfast burrito as well (get it with steak).

I almost don’t want to write a review lest people find out about my secret breakfast spot but these guys deserve every 5 star review.“

“Highly recommend this restaurant! The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is flavorful and savory. Portions were perfect. Can’t wait to visit again and have the Thai Dumplings! The Curry that had seafood and Soft Shell Crab was awesome!!“

“This place has been on my take-out rotation since I moved here and they never disappoint! My first time here in the middle of summer, they apologized profusely about the bread being flat due to temperature control issues, but I genuinely could not tell— it was still ridiculously good. I remember thinking “if this is a bad bread day.. then what is a good bread day like??” The answer: amazing. perfect. Nothing compares. Soft and fluffy on the inside with a very nice crust on the outside. I made the mistake of going to another bahn mi place in the area the other day, and all I could think about was how much I would rather be eating a sandwich from Simply Bahn Mi. I haven’t tried the pho, but the sandwiches here are perfection!!“

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

“We ordered the pho tai bo vien, grilled pork rice bowl, beef vermicelli, and shrimp spring rolls. Each item was delicious, and tasted crafted and made with love. The pho broth in particular had an incredibly rich and deep flavor. Definitely worth a try!“

“$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!“

“Fast, casual, and flavorful.

Service- you look at the menu through a QR code and either order at the counter or if employees is not busy (with Togo orders) will come over and take your order

Food- pho was so tasty. The broth was full flavors and great portions of protein and veggies.

Space- the space is small and simple. About 8 tables, clean.

I will come back and even order takeout!“

“Recommended! 👍👍
Stopped by after an event, and we were warmly welcomed by one of the staff. We did takeout and the portions were generous!

We got chicken cashew, pad Thai and pad see yew with their fresh Thai tea.

Service was quick, and the surrounding ambiance is pleasant. Very clean with fresh flowers on the tables.

But really, the staff were so friendly and kind, and the food is delicious!

Note: Parking is at the corner before the restaurant.“

“Spring Mill Bread Co. is a highly-recommended neighborhood staple. Decadent breakfast sandwiches, extraordinary Challah, and fabulously buttery scones (the chocolate chip & blueberry are a must).

The cozy environment, complete with local art pieces, allows you to enjoy your food with a pleasant view. Highly recommend.“

“Came in for the first time for the Honkai Rail star collaboration but found myself overly enjoying my experience! Special thanks to Rachel for her thoughtful and swift service, my parents loved her.😊 10/10 would recommend dining in!

Edit: Realized I didn’t say anything about the food haha! Everything I had was delicious and I’m sure my family agreed based on the amount we ate 🤦🏽‍♂ My favorite was the seared salmon, it’s AMAZING! Kind of sad I didn’t get to try the specials as they were out of stock but the rest of the menu makes up for it! Don’t skip out on the tantanmen ramen either 😉🔥“

“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!“

“Best place to dine in . Also the best place in Adam Morgan Washington DC.“

“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!“

“I never write reviews but I need to write one!! Breakfast was very tasty and had amazing flavor even if it was just a typical breakfast. Vanilla latte was so good, definitely a must if you like a sweet coffee with strong flavor. Will definitely return again when I come back to DC!!!“

“I ordered the Nepali chatpate and was really looking forward to it, but it wasn’t very flavorful and could use more spices and veggies. I also got the chicken tikka masala which was really good! There was also no one at the front where my food was.“

“I always like their food and services there. Good place to have home made Vietnamese food.“

“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!“

“We absolutely loved everything about this place. The food was amazing, the service was exceptional, and the unlimited soup refills were such a wonderful touch.

I’ve always wanted to experience an authentic Italian restaurant because I absolutely love pasta and Italian cuisine, and this place exceeded all my expectations. Our server, I believe his name was Oli (or Wili), was incredibly kind and attentive. He recommended a few dishes, and we trusted his suggestions, which turned out to be perfect.

The cozy, family dining atmosphere made the whole experience even more special. From the welcoming ambiance to the delicious food and genuinely warm service, everything felt just right. We will definitely be coming back!“

“5/5 stars for an incredible birthday celebration!

The Birthday Vibe:
We chose Olive Garden for its family-friendly atmosphere to celebrate a birthday. It is our go-to spot for important milestones, and they didn't disappoint.

The Service:
Our waitress, Mariela, took care of our large group and she was a total rock star! She was professional, warm, walked us through the menu, and perfectly answered all of our questions.

The Appetizers:
We started with the Lasagna Fritta and Calamari—both were fantastic and disappeared quickly.

The Soups:
Out of this world! The Zuppa Toscana (spicy Italian sausage, kale, and potatoes in a creamy broth) had the absolute perfect taste and seasoning. We also loved the Chicken & Gnocchi, and the Minestrone was a wonderful, vegan-friendly option for our table.

The Main Dishes: Everything we ordered for our entrees was absolutely delicious.

Great staff, amazing service, and excellent food. We will definitely return!“

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

“Great but about just as good as their Rockville counterpart. Favorful soup and fresh veggies. The area here unfortunately isn't as safe feeling so we'll have to stick to Rockville.

Service is fast and cordial. The atmosphere is inviting and business seems always busy.“

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

“I recently visited Panera and had such a pleasant experience overall. The atmosphere was clean, and the customer service truly stood out!
It was actually Easter, and I had a long, emotional day—I had taken my mother to the hospital and, being 8 months pregnant, I hadn’t eaten yet. I was exhausted and overwhelmed. But an employee named Anthony completely turned my day around.
His attitude was amazing—so polite, patient, and genuinely kind. He treated me with such care and respect, and in that moment, it meant everything. This is exactly the kind of customer service we need more of today.
I’m so grateful for that experience—it’s honestly going to be a core memory for me of how customer service should be. God bless him!“

“Great food and nice atmosphere“

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

“We’ve ordered from Panera Bread several times for larger groups (20+ people) lunches this week, and they never disappoint.

Ordering is always simple and straightforward, even when coordinating for a big crowd, which makes a huge difference when you’re juggling multiple details.

The food is consistently fresh and tasty, and there’s always a good variety so everyone finds something they enjoy. And one thing we really appreciate — delivery is always on time! That reliability takes so much of the stress out of hosting.

Panera has definitely become one of our trusted, go-to options for group lunches because we know exactly what to expect: quality food, easy ordering, and dependable service.“

“A great place for a delicious seafood lunch! The battered chicken Caesar salad was excellent, and the briny oysters were absolutely worth coming back for. The staff provided great service and were very welcoming throughout the visit. I will definitely be returning.“

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