44 Best Soup in Philadelphia

“Definitely the best Pho joint in Philly. This is one of the Pho 75 mini-chain restaurants starting in DC & Northern VA area (7 corners). Solid broth, chewy noodles and loads of different cut of meats. Add-on prices are also reasonable ($2.5 for meatballs as an example). Service is just meh... but you don't come here for service....“

“Shrimp and grits is amazing if I were home I would be licking the bowl. Bartender Kelsey was fantastic and very welcoming. Avocado toast is the best I have ever had.“

“IT WAS DELICIOUS! Definitely worth the trip and price! I will be back!“

“Delicious food. Great service. Clean and delicious !“

“Authentic Colomian food! This place never disappoints! It's a cute quaint place to have lunch or dinner. The food is always good and the price is always right. Not to mention the hostesses are kind and attentive. I prefer Carnitas over Tierra Colombiana.“

“My favorite Vietnamese restaurant currently because there are so many good options here. Bún bò is a must try. It smells really good and the broth is very well-seasoned. The taste is very different from the bbh at other places. Another must try is bún mắm. Although they only have cabbage and lettuce and not the typical veggie that comes with bún mắm, it is still very good. You get roasted pork, fish, shrimp, and squid. Mì vịt tiềm and hủ tiếu khô are also delicious. The meat in bún chả is tender and well seasoned, but the noodle is not that good, a bit overcooked. Also the bowl is really small so it is hard to eat. Although it is called phở cyclo, but phở here is meh. The wait time can sometimes be long and it's a pretty small place.“

“Came here for the first time to try out their soups. Wow!! I am impressed. I was amazed with the variety of options. I got the Broccoli & Cheddar soup and it was ?. I'm definitely going to be a regular customer here. Can't wait to try other soups and sandwiches“

“We came here for the gluten free churros as we have never found any anywhere else, figured this could be a once in a lifetime find. It was happy hour so we had drinks and tacos too! Loved the beef barbacoa toco. This restaurant is 100% gluten free so no chance of cross contamination. Staff is very friendly in this light and airy establishment.“

“The service was amazing! They were very friendly, always made sure we had everything we needed, and kept our drinks full. We ordered the soup dumplings and they were delicious, as well as the Thai milk tea. I highly recommend the soup dumplings, especially if you’ve never tried them! One of my favourite comfort foods and full of flavour!“

“Real men’s dimsum. Not that overpriced millenial microwaved bullshit that’s made to order (that’s not real dimsum, that’s a cash grab for those who dont know better). You walk in and the chinese staff are yelling orders at one another. You get seated on a big table with hot tea, and a cart comes to you, that’s when you know you’re in a legit establishment. This is the type of place you dont find from yelp reviews but you hear about from your asian asian friend’s recommendation“

“Best Korean restaurant in SE Pennsylvania.“

“Excellent Happy Hour!!! Will definitely dine here again!!“

“Viet Bistro 2 has *the best* vegetarian/vegan pho in the city—hands down! As someone who’s been vegan for years, I can’t begin to explain how rare it is to find a Vietnamese restaurant that serves truly vegan pho (not just veggies tossed into a beef broth). Viet Bistro 2 makes their vegetable broth from scratch, and it is SO flavorful!

Just the other week, I was dealing with significant GI upset. None of the over-the-counter or prescription meds I tried made a difference. But one warm, comforting bowl of their Vegetarian Pho? Total game-changer. It soothed my stomach, and I was finally able to get a good night’s rest.

My partner ordered the steak and beef pho and loved it just as much. I can also vouch for their tofu rolls! So whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or a meat-eater, Viet Bistro 2 has something delicious for you.

If you’re in Philly and haven’t made it to Viet Bistro 2 yet go try their pho! You won’t be disappointed!“

“We are never disappointed here time after time always very good“

“We had a great meal on our first family trip to the Juice Room. The soups, sandwiches and smoothies were very well made as well as delicious. They have a little shop attached that sells unique items. I found a cute backpack to treat myself to along with some Shea Butter that’s scented with honey and vanilla. If you like candles they have those too. My daughter got one for her Zodiac sign. The staff was very friendly and if we lived closer we would definitely go again!!“

“We wanted to try something new in old City. Love the area. There was great smell coming from the place and it drew us in. The food was good and our server was good.“

“Great food! Easy walk from convention center! Enjoy!“

“You guys never disappoint 😍 the sushi, the rock shrimp, bulgulgi, salmon, I want it all 😭 i always pick a day when you guys are closed and I break my own heart lol. Seriously, so freaking delicious and the best part aside from what I've mentioned, is the wasabi, nice and spicy 😍“

“Okay so the thing is when I went to the actual location and dined in everything 11/10 from service to food. Like I’ve been thinking about it since I went and i decided to order delivery today and am so sad will only be dining in for future. Ordered at 1pm my driver was on his way at 1:08?? General tso chicken was tender, great portion, white meat but I think from the steam in the packaging the chicken got soggy and the sauce got loose, like really loose. Wonton noodle soup was packaged very well with noodle dumpling and veg separate from broth, and their dumplings are so good I think they are shrimp - but the broth was not seasoned like it was when I dined in, just bland. Lastly I’m sad to say I won’t even try the spring rolls because they look like they’ve been sitting out for a while but I’m sure they are tasty I just cant get over that they look super crunchy in a bad way. Photos are from when I dined in vs when I got takeout.“

“Great seafood restaurant in the Fairmount area!!!“

“The best Chinese food I have eaten. Their fried rice was sooo Good. Every Chinese restaurant i ate at I always find the fried rice to lack flavor or the rice was just either hard or mushy but this place imo was just right. The lo mein was excellent as well. Wish this place was in North Carolina where I live. Ate here 3 times in the week I stayed out here in Philly.“

“Everything here is amazing. I believe Kelly is the best server here, regarding manners, kindness, speed, and quality of our meals Me and my mother just finished our meal. The food and drinks came so fast, and the service is excellent. My dietary needs were met completely. This restaurant is the best one I have ever been to. I recommend 3 dishes. The grilled chicken margherita with a side of broccoli, the chicken and gnocchi soup, and the chicken marsala fettuccine pasta. They're my favorites. I am definitely coming here again. 100/10.

Dietary restrictions: I have POTS and possible diabetes, and I am trying to lose weight and gain muscle, so I have to watch myself when I eat. All of my needs were met today.“

“This is a unique dining opportunity in center city Philadelphia. It's located near the Cristmas Village and provides an enjoyable dining experience. We had wonton soup and spring rolls for appetizer. Our main course was sesame chicken and chicken and broccoli. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and it was reasonably priced.“

“Jin Jin is truly the best Chinese food hands down. I love it so much that I literally come from afar JUST for this restaurant when I get a craving. There is nowhere else that compares. Every single time I come here, the food is hot, flavorful, fresh, and absolutely worth the money.

The restaurant is always very clean, the staff is fantastic, and they are always so friendly. My order is always accurate (which I appreciate so much these days!) and they take real pride in what they cook. You can taste it in every bite.

Jin Jin has become my go-to place. If you want amazing Chinese food that never disappoints, this is it. Best ever.👍🏼❤️🙏“

“I came here for the first time today (July 21 at 1 PM), and wow, this place blew me away. The food was phenomenal and packed with flavor, but what really made my visit unforgettable was the service.

From the second I walked in, the entire staff was all smiles, friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. I wish I remembered the name of the bald waiter who helped me because he was AMAZING. Not only did he walk me through the menu (as a first-timer), but he also showed me how to properly use the dipping sauces. Super helpful without ever making me feel awkward or rushed.

When I asked for my food to go, he even gave me extra rice to take home! And get this, I accidentally almost left with their water cup, and instead of making it weird, he handed me a to-go cup of water without me even asking. That’s top-tier hospitality.

You can tell the team here really cares and works hard. I left full, happy, and seriously impressed. I’m already planning my next visit. If you’re thinking about coming, DO IT. You won’t regret it.

Also the music was very peaceful!“

“Nice Valentines dinner with great food and nice staff .“

“Another pho restaurant in the area. Inside was modern, almost a bit too much light and the bench seating was weird. Prices for a bowl were ludicrous, especially since the serving size is pretty standard. Pho tasted good, but the broth was very salty. Service was great though“

“I always get the Tomato Basil Soup with a grilled cheese on Ciabatta bread and a caramel latte. Love the food, customer service served with warm greetings and beautiful smiles.
With fall season here, I’d love to try out more seasonal lattes, especially Pumpkin Spice!!! Can you make it happen? Bring in other delicious flavors?“

“Absolutely would recommend, love the food and the staff. Just wish they had queso!“

“I ordered soup and brown stewed chicken, and the soup is good. It always is great but today I ordered more food and the brown stewed chicken was absolutely outstanding.. I can honestly say it’s the best brown stew chicken I’ve ever tasted from a Jamaican restaurant! Good Job 🌹🌹“

“Trying this place we were in the area.
I did read someone reviews talking about “the waiter was in the bad mood” I think our waiter was the waiter that the person mentioned about. He did seems cold and not friendly.. didn’t see any warm welcome smile but he still did what he need to be done. Probably that his actual personality, as long as he didn’t being rude or nasty with the service I’m ok.
The spring rolls usually came out super hot everytime we ate in every Vietnamese place, but in here came out warm. They might had this on hot box ready to go or quick refried them not sure, the taste was good.
My husband had meatballs pho and I had pork banh mi. The soup was pretty good but I didn’t really like the banh mi that much.“

“Absolutely delicious!!! Highly recommend!“

“Food is very good, but the women who takes your order is not very pleasant and either shorts you on the food or over-charges you. This has happened twice in a row. I won't go back.“

“My first time there and the service was excellent. They made my food exactly the way I wanted it and the passion fruit drink was delicious.
For my first experience with the restaurant and it's 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I will be going back.“

“flatbread pizza was bomber 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“i love their boneless spare ribs with white rice it’s soo good i feel like the large is better than the small they skimpy with the small for it to be 9 dollars but the large is definitely worth it . and their wings are really good too . and last but not least their homemade ice tea actually taste like ice tea and not hella sugar . could be cleaner but yk everyone has stuff going on can’t blam them just clean a lil when yall get a chance .“

“This is how a franchise should be. The staff is animated and friendly and helpful. My salad was delicious. At the first bite my whole body was relaxed and it was a yes. The ingredients were fresh and the taste was exceptional. I highly recommend this Saladworks location.“

“Ordered for the first time, Pork fried rice was excellent!!! It was very fresh, lots of onions and pork, , we also got the pork lomien , huge pieces of pork, not fatty, lots of vegetables , not overcooked or greasy . Wonton soup and egg rolls were perfect… I will definitely be ordering again!!“

“We ordered from here alot and never until superbowl Sunday had we had problems. I ordered a chicken stromboli with extra cheese. Why did a get a extra cheese stromboli with hardly no chicken. It was cheesy y'all. Cheese all over the place. No chicken to be found. I asked for cheese to be at the end where there is usually nothing there but dough. They got this. So now I don't know how to say my order cause I want to enjoy my chicken as well as some cheese. I knew that the one who usually prepare my stromboli was no longer there anymore. So I guess I have to find a new place. I take my food very serious.“

“The staff here is the nicest ever. Always so accommodating. And friendly!“

“I’m very happy there are still people working here in the store is open.“

“I love this spot. I'm a coffee guy and Panera is top 5 when it comes to who you can rely on for some good coffee... The food is good too.. I used to swing by just for the coffee but recently ordered some food and was pleasantly shocked to see how big the portions were.. I ate good. I recommend the Mac n Cheese but I also tried their Cheesesteak Hoagie which slaps too... The cookies and brownies good too cant lie. Besides that the vibe is very calm. Staff are really respectful and caring. You can tell and sense they really care about their guests and customers, not a lot of places like that left so when I seense that type of energy in a place of business, especially food spots, main thing and 1st thing I pay attention to is how do they treat the people they are servicing? This Panera right here, specifically, off 12th & Vine, they treat their people with heart and empathy. They people people...

My only complaint... Not enough power sockets but I'm being nit picky.. Not really a complaint... meh“
