50 Best Soup near Takoma Park

“Love this place, but just a suggestion from a loyal customer — could you maybe make more baguettes? You run out every day. Every day on my way home from work I peek in the window in the hope you have some left, but you never do. Today I came in just after lunch and again, no baguettes. :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“So good! Loved everything and service was great“

“Very good! Wish they were closer to home.“

“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.“

“I asked my nail tech for a recommendation on the most authentic Vietnamese food in the area and she suggested this place.

She said it was super fresh and always delicious and they did not disappoint! The environment was clean and chill. The greeter was so kind and helped me order (#9) and I have to say this was in fact the freshest most delicious Pho I've ever had. I cannot wait to go back! I'm definitely going to bring my family next time.“

“Loved it!!!!... Nice and Cozy“

“Unassuming, don't sleep on Bladensburg's Pho Tai 63. Open Thursday through Monday at noon, the parking lot was almost full at 11:50am with people waiting to get inside. It's that good!

Dining for lunch with a friend who grew up in Vietnam, we both enjoyed our pho. There are 13 choices and the broth is full of flavor. I order the #4 small and it was plenty of food. It comes full of herbs and a side of bean sprouts, basil, and jalapenos.

Service is friendly and quick.

The space is no frills, but it adds to the experience!“

“The best taco spot around.“

“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!“

“Nice food good service and good prices“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Our family lived in Ukraine for 20+ years. We are in DC for Spring Break and found your restaurant online. So, we decided to come and try it out. AMAZING! Your food transported us back to "home"!“

“My waiter was excellent. She was wonderful. The food was fresh hot. I'm good and like always bathrooms clean. You know, I am about bad pros and I rarely get five stars.But it was the waiter gave y'all five stars, she was excellent“

“Pho 72 delivers an exceptional Vietnamese dining experience, right to the doorstep. The summer rolls with shrimp arrive pristine—delicate rice paper wrappers giving way to generous portions of succulent shrimp, crisp lettuce, and fresh herbs, all elevated by a beautifully balanced peanut dipping sauce. The Banh Mi with lemongrass chicken is a genuine revelation: tender, fragrant slices of poultry tucked inside a crusty, airy baguette, accented by bright, pickled vegetables and a gentle spread of creamy pâté. Every bite offers a contrast in textures and flavors that is simply irresistible.

The star of the meal, the Pho Tai, Nạm, Chín, exemplifies what a perfect bowl of pho should be. The broth is profoundly aromatic, layered with the subtle sweetness of long-simmered bone marrow and spices that warm the palate. The noodles have that ideal springy bite, while the trio of beef cuts—rare steak, tender flank, and well-cooked brisket—each contribute their distinct textures and richness. Even delivered, everything tastes impeccably fresh, as if it had just left the kitchen seconds before.

Pho 72 shows true mastery of Vietnamese cuisine, offering refined flavors, high-quality ingredients, and meticulous preparation. For those seeking the comfort of a restaurant-caliber meal at home, this spot stands out as a top choice in Washington, DC.“

“I enjoy dining at Earls because, despite rising food costs and inflation, they continue to offer an economical menu. I appreciate the option to order a half sandwich along with a half order of fries. The staff is always friendly and efficient, and the food is consistently delicious. The picture shows a salmon BLT on whole grain bread that has already been enjoyed.“

“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“

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

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

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

“Since Eastern Gourmet has opened it has become our go-to for great Chinese takeout. We have ordered an extensive amount of the menu and there aren't any dishes that haven't blown us away. The food is amazing, the service is attentive, and the prices are quite reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.“

“Best pho around. I’ll start there!
Broth is flavorful and doesn’t just taste like water. Meat is fresh. (We always order the Tai #15) and bean sprouts, mint, jalapeño and lime are always fresh!

The water is not great so beware but if it has a lot of ice it helps lol. They do have other options to choose from as well. We normally get some soda.

The place is very out dated and kinda ran down. It is all men so you know they don’t care. There is a few guys that have been there FOREVER and are super nice. Some of them do not speak good English but they do understand.

Oh, they only take cash but if you do not have it there is a ATM at the laundry mat next door to get cash.

Weekends can be super packed as it’s a great hang over saver lol but durning the week it’s great!

Don’t judge a book by its cover! It’s really worth it!“

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

“My wife and often escape our condo office for their tasty and inexpensive lunch. We also get delivered food from them. No delivery charge, but we tip the driver well. We love their eggplant dishes, meaty spare ribs, duck and so far almost everything on their extensive menu.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Closer to a 4.5. Food was high quality and very fresh. Atmosphere was really fun; the conveyor belt and robot were a great novely.

My partner really enjoyed the fried chicken bites. I loved the eel. The vegetable tempura was way overpriced for the amount you get and their brand of "spicy" seemed to be Sriracha mayo.

The waitstaff were phenomenal and really a big part of selling the place.“

“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.“

“We love the food ?“

“My local go-to American Chinese restaurant. Family-run joint. Atmosphere is that if a takeout spot; there is nothing wrong with that, but don't expect to dine in. Owners are very friendly and gracious. Prices are reasonable, and the food is usually pretty good with generous portions. Really love their Crispy Szechuan Beef and Szechuan String Beans.

Parking: Strip mall, usually spaces available.“

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

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

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

“I've been coming here for about 5 years now, and they've always been friendly. The food is delicious, reasonably portioned, and reasonably priced to boot. You really can't go wrong here. If you love Thai, Sala Thai will impress!“

“Yummy great food and fresh drink“

“The food is exquisite, the only thing missing is the service from the waitresses
And they give only one price to one. My ticket said one price and when they charged me it was another price.
I think they have to be transparent“

“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.“

“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 😊“
