50 Best Soup near Takoma Park

“I’ve been buying my bread here since moving into the area and I’ve always had very positive interactions with staff. Their treats are very good, I recommend the polish apple slices and brownies and I’ve not had a sandwich there yet that I didn’t enjoy. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality. Glad to have this in my backyard.“

“The first time checking this place out. ordered it to go. Customer service was great, staff was knowledgeable of the menu and gave a great recommendation. I got the spaghetti drunken noodles with chicken. Phenomenal, definitely will be going back. I'm actually surprised the flavors were still intact. For it to be a to go order lol“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice food good service and good prices“

“Ordered beef pho for the first time at this location. Packed with sides and delicious broth. The meat was not to my liking I called and they were able to assist me. 10/10 service a company that ensures their guest feels satisfied! Thank you so much! I will go here again.“

“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!!!!“

“The service was precise and attentive without being intrusive. The dining room was spotless. Our server knew the menu inside and out and paced everything well. The lobster bisque was deeply flavorful and balanced, easily the best I’ve had. The sardines were fresh and clean tasting. The affogato and the key lime mousse were the right finish, light, bright, and not overly sweet.“

“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“

“My Family and I stopped here because we love Greek food and heard this was authentic Greek food. First thing I tried was the calamari appetizer, as we are from Louisiana and love our seafood. The calamari hands down was the best I have ever had. The texture, the flavor, everything about it was fantastic. You can get that kind of quality in a 5 Star restaurant. Next home made fry’s, absolutely delicious. Don’t left me forget the Spanakopita, first time hearing it and eating and also fell in love with it. I had the Big Fat Gyro lamb, as well as my son and wife. Again another fantastic dish. Full of flavor and the size of these are huge so you’re getting a great deal. My wife also order a platter of Souvlaki and a Gyro platter as well for us to try. Completely delicious. Hands down such a great place. I will definitely be coming back my next trip. Keep up the great work YiaYia’s.“

“Pho VN One in Laurel is hands down one of the best Vietnamese restaurants around. The pho is incredibly flavorful rich broth, tender meat, and perfectly cooked noodles every single time. Their portions are generous, and everything tastes so fresh.
The staff is always welcoming and attentive, and the service is quick even when they’re busy. I also love their spring rolls and iced coffee they’re the perfect combo!
Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner with family, this place never disappoints. Definitely a hidden gem in Laurel highly recommend!“

“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.“

“I genuinely never write reviews but I have to because this is genuinely one of the best pho spots in the dc area by FAR!!! easy quick delicious and good price. Be sure to get there for dinner on the earlier side as it actually fills up and its very mom and pop so be easy on the staff! love them and will be going back again and again“

“So good! Loved everything and service was great“

“The best taco spot around.“

“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.“

“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!“

“😋Outstanding food! Everything was amazing!“

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

“We stopped by this Salvadorian-Mexican restaurant for breakfast and had a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care.

I ordered the Salvadorian típico, which came with scrambled eggs mixed with shredded beef, sweet plantains, and traditional sides. Everything was well seasoned and cooked just right. We also tried the cheese pupusas, and they were excellent. Hot, cheesy, and full of flavor. The coffee was really good and completed the breakfast.

Customer service also stood out. The cashier was friendly, polite, and welcoming, which made the visit even better.

Overall, everything was on point. From the food to the service, this is a great spot if you are looking for authentic Salvadorian food or a solid breakfast. We will definitely be back.“

“Every time I'm anywhere near Earl's while out doing errands I stop in and get a sandwich. Now this is the way a lunch sandwich should be- clearly REAL turkey meat, fresh lightly toasted multigrain bread, green (not white/yellow) lettuce and (in my favorite case) real cranberry spread. So good and reasonably-priced; I could eat lunch here many days/week if I were in the area more frequently.“

“$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!“

“Phonatics is great — we live right by it and go there frequently for pho on cold days when we want to warm our soul, and banh mi in the summer when we want the tender chicken with pickled onion on a crunchy baguette. The atmosphere is great, the staff is accommodating, and the food is such a quality that it never fluctuates. There was even a time when I couldn’t find basil at any nearby store, and in a hurry I went to Phonatics and they were kind enough to give me a bag of Thai basil. It saved my bruschetta.“

“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.“

“Overall the food is good but the service is a bit slow. Not sure if they just aren't busy enough to have sufficient staff or what. If you have time to wait 10-15 minutes for a sandwich it's a good price to grab a bite to eat though!“

“Great food and quite an experience. There is the food on the circling belt that keep turning and you pick the plate that appeals to you, or you order from the tablet on top of table and the plate arrives on the top belt. Fascinating. I loved it“

“We love the 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.“

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

“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 stopped by because they had a sign for a five-dollar slice of pizza outside, it may have even said $3? Please tell me why I was charged nearly $8 for a single slice of pizza, not even jumbo slice. 😫 I also got a side of meatballs (3 for $15), but they were pretty good. I've been here for their lasagna in the past which was excellent, but getting overcharged for a single slice of okay pizza left a bad taste in my mouth.“

“I got the vanilla café latte and it was seriously the best latte I have had in a long time. It reminds me of a latte you would have on vacation outside of the U.S. And the customer service was also top-tier. The cashier was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The cafe environment itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable.“

“This is a nice reminder of what authentic Chinese food taste like. We tried slices beef with peppers, spring rolls, egg drop soup, and chicken fried rice. Everything was piping hot and well flavored.

The only thing to be modified is the time it took to take drink orders and the order of food delivery (the preference is for appetizers to come out before the meal but asking the customer if all is desired together is good).

The venue is spacious, the light is well balanced and it has nice music playing juat enough to set the scene for authentic cuisine. We will definitely be back when we return to DC.“

“Recommended by a coworker to try this place. I got the lamb Vindaloo and garlic naan. The vindaloo was good and had a good amount of spice to it but could be spicier (my personal preference) Was a good heat to make you have a slight sweat but enjoy the meal overall. Compared to the other portions my coworkers got it was quite small but had plenty of lamb in it. I do wish there were more potatoes added.

The staff were friendly I believe they’re father and son. It was the grand opening and they gave us 20% off our orders so for Vindaloo, cup of rice, and naan bread the total was $15.80 usually the vindaloo is $17 and some change (naan not included) definitely will try again when in the area.“

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

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

“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.“

“I wish I had taken a picture because our portions were so generous and delicious. I got the fried catfish and my partner had the crab cake. It was so fresh. The workers know their menu well, and are quick to help when I mentioned I had a dairy sensitivity. They were all friendly and we can’t wait to visit again.“

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

“Very good food, with the best flavor in the area!!“

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

“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 LOVE THIS PLACE!!! No I'm not employed here! I have to limit myself to once every other week. After being in the restaurant industry for 25 years I DEFINITELY respect this places consistency. Try it out.“

“Me and my group of friends always come here to eat whenever we hangout.This spot is always our top go to place to go whenever we’re hungry and bored.The sushi here is amazing, especially the chicken teryaki rolls.The workers are so nice to us , and the place is overall amazing.However , I don’t really recommend online ordering.Sometimes the sushi will get smushed, it’s better to just order in person.But this place is honestly the best im genuinely impressed , the place is so quiet and calm whenever you enter its a great place to just chill.Me and my friends love it here!“

“I have been told by other customers at Paneras that the police are asking many questions EVERYTIME I go to Paneras.

I give it a 5 for food and service
And 1 star for atmosphere due to the police

🤔 is it because I filed a lawsuit and formal complaints against the NYPD ?“

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