50 Best Soup in Houston

“First visit I was offered a sample of each flavor. Very friendly and great food. I go at least once a week for lunch.“

“Best place for ramen we drove 5hrs just for some best in Houston!“

“Took my 3 very picky teenage daughters here for some pho. They loved it. Slurped up most of the broth. I had the crushed rice and grilled pork. It was amazing. Love the sauteed green onions on the perfectly cooked crushed rice. Looking forward to trying their banh mis.“

“It was pretty good, bowl of pho was flavorful and oxtail bowl was huge for the price I would recommend them.“

“Their green curry is just like comfort food. Very delicious. Service is excellent!“

“delicious, fresh food. very friendly staff. restaurant was very clean with a cool vibe, good location.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at the best Chinese rice noodle house in Chinatown Houston and it was an exceptional experience. This noodle house offers an array of mouthwatering appetizers that set the stage for an unforgettable meal. The star of the show was undoubtedly the Chinese rice noodles. They were perfectly cooked, with a delightful chewy texture that left me craving more. The wide variety of noodle options allowed for a customized dining experience, catering to all tastes. We tried their signature items like the chicken soup rice noodle and the Mala rice noodle soup. The appetizers were a highlight, with an extensive selection that included sticky rice cake, marinated pig feet, and cucumber salad. The sticky rice cake was a delightful blend of sweet and savory, with a satisfyingly chewy consistency. The marinated pig feet were tender and flavorful, a true delicacy. The cucumber salad provided a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the other dishes, with a delightful balance of tanginess and crunch. The service at JiBeiChuan noodle house was impeccable, and the staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. Overall, this brand new Chinese rice noodle house is a must-visit for anyone looking to savor authentic and delicious Chinese cuisine. The combination of delectable rice noodles and a tantalizing selection of appetizers ensures an unforgettable culinary journey. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. And since it’s a authentic Chinese franchising noodle house, I don’t have to fly back to China to enjoy it. Highly recommended and will definitely come back.“

“Our first time at your restaurant today, we came in for food to go. Ordered fresh spring rolls that were so fresh, wrapped in the better kind of rice paper, and with care. Ordered the banh mi too, which was delicious. Thank you for being here, everyone at Pho Q Long!“

“I've been looking for a Japanese restaurant with a cozy feel that is also not overpriced, and this place is it. They have a great list of appetizers and hot food, with a vibe of a smaller Japanese restaurant vibe that I love. All the food was prepared perfectly, and the wait staff was very kind. Definitely will be back!“

“Wonderful K lounge in the north west/spring branch area of Houston. Great food, fun atmosphere and an owner who truly cares if you have a good time. Don't pass up this spot if your looking for korean food or karaoke. Great soju bombs also 👌“

“Great food and even better service wish we had one in Kansas City“

“This is an excellent site for valuable tips and explanations especially for the beginner baker.“

“Brisket Bahn Mi with bone marrow butter and a cup of pho for dipping. Second time here love it. Absolutely delicious!“

“Muy buena organización para servir y elegir tú comida“

“I had the Shoyu truffle ramen and it was probably the best ramen I've ever had in the US. I was born and raised in Japan, and this reminded me of being back home. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing as well. I am definitely going to be back again soon.“

“100 % recomendada La comida 🍲 súper rika“

“Pho Ben is more than just a meal—it’s a beautiful experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt inviting and thoughtfully designed. The staff were genuinely kind, and I especially want to shout out Donald, who took my order with such courtesy and care. His professionalism and warmth made the visit feel personal and memorable.

The food? Fresh, flavorful, and served with pride. You can tell they put heart into every bowl. I’ll definitely be coming back—and recommending Pho Ben to anyone looking for great Vietnamese cuisine and even better service.“

“the employee there are very nice and it felt like they were one big family. and it such amazing thing to see. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs meats, seasoning or any other needs.. come check them out“

“One of the bear Pho and Vietnamese food in town“

“I've tried many pho places around the Katy area and had yet find anything that tasted close to the real thing and wanted a place that focused on a good broth and not just the toppings such as meats and the noodles.

I finally found the place and it's been hidden from me as I drive home each day. This place has been open and family-runned for 10 years. Her broth has bones that's been simmering for hours and the flavors come out. The broth doesn't taste like MSG compared to other places who use a ton of MSG. MSG makes foods taste good, but don't over do it and this place did exactly that. Her broth was smelled so good and flavorful, it complimented the meats and noodles. Please give this place a try, you won't regret it.“

“I moved to Austin 4 years ago and every time I come to visit my parents in Houston, it’s a must that I come visit here. The perfectly baked bread, the incredible pork, the fresh smoothies, the amount of toppings, THE PRICE??? Omg… the price!!! I miss these prices. So many memories of going here with all of my friends as broke teenagers just looking for a cheap filling meal, and always being met with love and respect from the staff. Get the grilled pork spring rolls, a grilled pork banh mi, and an avocado smoothie. If you’re asking yourself “is this too much pork?” The answer is no. It’s delicious, you’ll be doing yourself a favor. Mekong, I love you, never change.“

“Marina and her team always provide excellent service and great food! Hospitality at its finest.“

“Good food and atmosphere but the sound kept cutting to half the restaurant….“

“I came to YukDaeJang one evening near closing time. The employees didn't look like they want to serve me. There were a couple of tables of customers there. But they probably had a long day. I don't blame them. Food was ok. The waitstaff took wrong order. But it's ok.“

“Wholesome choices with fresh ingredients. 🍐🍏🥦🥗“

“Hands down one of my favorite restaurants ever!!!!!!!! The Bahn Mi with a fried egg is top tier!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Wonderful place to grab lunch! Friendly place!🩷“

“Amazing food and experience! Shout out to Tony for showing us the ropes!“

“Really great small family owned authentic Vietnamese food spot. The portions are great for the price, the staff is friendly and very clean restaurant. I highly recommend the beef bhan mi sandwich or the pho. The pho is nice and tasty! I have been coming here for almost a year 2 to 3 times a month and the food never disappoints! Very good!“

“I’ve been coming to this location for several years, and I have never received such excellent service as I did this evening. Our waitress, Kelci M., was incredibly attentive and provided outstanding customer service. She truly made our dining experience exceptional!“

“We were there last weekend and they were the best and most authentic tasting noodles we’ve ever had (and my husband and I have tried many places)! The service and atmosphere was great and the staff were kind and patient despite my son crying much of our time there. If we’re ever in the Houston area again this is for sure a stop we’ll be making again! P.S. the sweet tea was perfect 🙂“

“I've probably ordered about 4 times and will continue to do so, it's amazing and they also seal your food well for your protection if you order from them through Doordash. The best african restaurant in houston, the food is always so fresh 🩷“

“Came in around 12:30pm after a haircut. It was only me and another guest. Ordered the small chao long, which was a pretty decent portion, along with a side of fried doughnut. Food was delicious, and definitely fixed my craving. Not sure if it’s normally dead in there, but hoping that they get more guests. The young girl who took my order and the aunties working the shop were all so nice.“

“I only tried the pollo con tajadas (dine in), nothing else so that’s all I can judge but the chicken had better flavor than most Honduran restaurants and food trucks I’ve been to. The food took a minute to come out because it’s made to order but it was worth it. This will definitely be my new go to place for pollo con tajadas
Update: I tried the sopa de mondongo con leche de coco and it was good as well!“

“highly recommend the shaken beef with fried rice C8 and beef sizzling“

“Great food and exceptional service.“

“Really good 🍲!!!! . I recommend this place.“

“I live in the energy corridor area, and having Salata nearby is great! Love the wraps. And the staff is very friendly. Especially the manager I think her name is Elena. Such a nice woman.“

“delicious. the coffee is great. the salad has this sweet tangy savory something on it that so delicious. the E4 is AMAZING. definitely will be back“

“Pho Tau Bay is a hidden gem here in Cypress. Delicious food, an extensive menu, and affordable pricing makes this the ideal place for anyone craving Vietnamese food.

We've sampled four different items from the menu:

Mi Hoanh Thanh Ca Vien - Wonton noodle soup with fish balls in a delicious pork broth. Simply delicious 😋 Broth was rich and full of flavor, the restaurant did not skimp on the noodles or fish balls either. Highly recommend!

Bun Bo Hue - full of meats and well seasoned. Would definitely rate as above average in taste.

Hu Tieu Nam Vang - not a typical item in Vietnamese restaurants unless you're in Chinatown/ Katy Asia Town. This pork based soup was full of meats and veggies. Very well balanced!

Pho Tai Bo Vien - the standard beef noodle soup with eye round steak and meatballs. Solid in taste, nothing mind blowing.

Pho Tau Bay is one of the better Vietnamese restaurants here in the Cypress area. As long-time customers of over 5 years, we will definitely continue to return 😊“

“I just had pho here, and it was delicious. The service was great and food came out very quickly. A very filling meal under $20.
If you’ve never had pho, you need to add all the toppings and the sauces that are provided on the table. It may be a little spicy. Highly recommend!!“

“This has been one of my favorite restaurants for Pho for many years and they did not disappoint.
The Pho soup has many options from 1 to 6 different meat choices.
The spring rolls were fresh and the crispy spring rolls were crunchy and delicious.“

“Best pho I’ve had in Houston! I tried the pho with chicken broth, absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. Egg rolls were bomb. Tofu spring rolls were good, enjoyed the peanut sauce. Everything tasted fresh and clean. Presentation was great in my delivery order. Important note, this restaurant supplies with farm raised chicken and the choice between light or dark meat. :) Not sure what these other reviews are on about. I paid $28 for two apps and a large pho. Fantastic price for a fresh, delicious meal.“

“The bartender, Anthony Garcia, is spot on with customer satisfaction! I’m a veteran here for your Veterans Day special and had a bad day at work. He certainly turned that around, and I really appreciate that! Keep this young man around! I’ll be back! And I won’t be waiting for your next Veterans Day special!“

“Me encanta ir a comer ahí,es delicioso.“

“All above the food is delicious 😋“

“I truly adore this place and LOVE THE CHEF MR. JIMMY CHU! My Sister, her. Daughter Laila, and I have been going there for years! We have truly become Family!“

“The broth here was solid. Not too heavy on spices. Not too sweet. Very balanced broth. The veggies were fresh. The meatballs were great. I did not like the flank that much but maybe the brisket would’ve been better. The size of a large bowl came with a good amount of noodles.

Since this is an older establishment, it is expected to not look as nice. However, you can obviously see that all the table tops are peeling and somewhat sticky. The cleanliness could be better.

I have also had the beef stew here which is great. The broth is well flavored. The only downside is the meat can sometimes be not that tender. Whenever the meat is tender, though, it’s a great meal.

As a Vietnamese person, I would recommend this place.“

“The food is great and there's something for every appetite, even vegetarians. The staff is friendly and always willing to help.

Vegetarian options: Something available for vegetarians in every entree group. The portobello veggie sandwich or pizza are winners!“

“I absolutely love this location!! The staff members are so friendly and make the most delicious salads!
Coral the manager is so sweet and pleasant and she makes your salad as if she’s making her own! And she gives great suggestions. Abril is really sweet also and she has such a pretty smile. I’ve been to other salatas and they do not taste as good as this one and overall their technique isn’t as good as briarforest location. I could literally eat here everyday“
