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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“the pho was amazing! you cant go wrong pairing it with their coffee“

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

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

“It’s a lot of fun you can’t go wrong with a karaoke place and this place was gorgeous! So pretty and fun. It was packed. The rooms for karaoke are very high tech and the seats are incredible comfortable. I booked a large room for my husband and it really could fit like 17 people! The disco lights were so cool too. It felt very private and they have tons of great alcohol selection. I wish I tried the foods! But we were so busy singing .
Fyi parking is super super limited esp on a Friday night.
Would recommend car pooling

Of note no outside food allowed. I do wish they made this place more vegan friendly for those who have religious/cultural
/personal reasons they could not have meat.

1/23/26 - went back for to go and the food was delicious! Haven’t had the food here before but it is tasty. I loved the soup !“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

“Went to this restaurant on a last minute decision after the most recent Con at the nrg stadium. And I have to say, this place did not disappoint! Some of the best ramen I’ve ever had and trust me… I’ve had many! It’s a bit pricey but (I can finally say) it’s so worth it!!!“

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

“100 % recomendada La comida 🍲 súper rika“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The taste is so good. I have been eating this soup for more than 10 years, but I’ve been a customer here for 2 years.

Sometimes when I order extra spicy online, I receive regular spicy. I always pay $1 extra for extra spicy because I really love spicy food.

One day when I ordered extra spicy at the restaurant, the waitress explained to me twice that it’s already spicy. I understand she was just worried about me 😊

But since there is an extra spicy option and customers choose extra spicy, please make it extra spicy. When I get the wrong spice level, I can’t enjoy the food because it doesn’t meet my taste level.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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 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!“

“Food was great, as always. We always get #16, Phở Tái Chín - Noodle soup with eye of round steak and lean brisket. Broth is always delicous, meat is always great. No complains there. The spring rolls are also delicious, specially adding sriracha to the peanut sauce and mixing it. The only downside was one time I went and when i asked for extra limes (was only given 2 slices to start off with), they said they couldn't give me extra, or if they did they'd have to charge me. Given that I only ask for Limes and Jalapeños, not the extra veggies, i didn't think i should be charged. In the same visit, i asked for extra meat, and never brought it out. How i know? My wife ordered the same order, without the extra meat and both looked identical. They then brought it out when i was almost finished eating (this was after we told them not to bring it out anymore, we did advise them of the missing extra meat). We haven't gone back since; but will probably try again, maybe this time i'll take my own limes. xD“

“Today I ordered the shrimp spring rolls and 4 egg rolls.(I ate one already lol) This was my first time trying this location and let me tell you, it was absolutely phenomenal. Great portion size. The peanut butter dipping sauce had a nice little spice to it. I will definitely be ordering more dishes from here since the sides were so delicious.“

“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!“

“La comida es súper rica sabrosa y son muy amables“

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

“Great food and exceptional service.“

“The best okra soup I’ve had by far. I tried this restaurant for the first time with my cousin. When I say we both were overly satisfied with the food and service ! Definitely will be returning, the portion size and flavor of the food is unmatched.“

“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.“

“This was my first time there. I ordered rice, egg rolls, calamari, beef and vegetables. This was a pickup order. The food was good, not what I was used to but good. The prices were reasonable. My order was ready fast and the staff were friendly.“

“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.“

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

“Pho Tau Bay is my go to spot for pho in the Cypress area. I have been coming here for years now and it is always consistently great. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is always fast and easy. The pho is amazing with a rich flavorful broth, generous portions, and fresh ingredients every time. This is true comfort food ❤️“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“Love this place! I been to almost every place in houston that serves Pho. From Katy to Atascocita to Fort Bend to Pasadena. This place is the bomb! Must have Pho. The only come petition I say is Mee Mee Restaurant in Temple Texas. Totally worth the 3hr drive going over there to eat their noodles and this place is just as good! PHO IS LIFE!

8 years later still coming here even after new owners. The upgrades are to die for.“

“Tempted by the words authentic I decided to give this restaurant a try for dinner. Restaurant is small, clean. Staff appeared friendly neatly dressed. Ordered Walnut Shrimp ..Sweet and Sour Chicken with a side of Wonton Soup, Fried Rice to go. Food was neatly packaged and still hot when I arrived home. Walnut Shrimp was fresh, crisp and plump..sauce was rich. Sweet and Sour Chicken was crisp..sauce rich. Fried Rice was perfectly browned not overly season and complimented both Entrees. Wonton Soup was light with a smooth taste..wontons perfectly smooth. Eggrolls were crisp and lightly filled. Meal cost approximately 38.00. I was pleasantly surprised I enjoyed every bit of it ( I am definitely hard to please) Thank you for a wonderful experience.

“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“

“They are very professional and clean with great customer service I will be back.“
