50 Best Soup in Houston

“Full disclosure: I’ve been coming here since college, UH Campus. Go COOGS!!! Hooooooooooozzzzzzzz House?!!!!! ….. teehee

So clearly, they don’t pay me to advertise & they don’t have to because I come here whenever I’m downtown for anything. I call ahead and take it to Katy.

I know this place before it was here. Before, it was across the street.

These peeps are legit. Just come here and you won’t be disappointed. This is my staple go to is the anything really.

Today, I am getting the bahn mi for Chris & I. I love all their spices, especially the home made spice, it is so nice!!! Here a pick of the treasure I’m bring home.“

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

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

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

“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!“

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

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

“I give 10* First Yuri and Freddie were Amazzzing, attentive and helpful!!! DK came over to table and chatted with us, Now on to the food, Had 4 appetizers, the oysters, so yummy! the octopus very tasty , the spicy dumplings with chili sauce and the Shrimp tempora!! For dinner wife had crispy noodles and chicken! I had the pickled tuna roll and the scallop roll, both were so different yet. So fantastic! This was our first time as well and we cannot wait to go back. Thank you DK. Thank you Yuri and thank you Freddy. I'm going to tell everybody how delicious it was !!!“

“We tried this Korean restaurant for dinner after a friend recommended it, and the food was easily some of the best we’ve had recently. The side dishes arrived fresh and flavorful, and the portions were generous enough for sharing around the table. I ordered the bulgogi while my husband tried spicy pork, and both dishes were perfectly cooked with balanced seasoning. Compared to other Korean restaurants we’ve visited nearby, this place felt much more authentic and consistent in both flavor and service. The staff stayed attentive throughout the meal and patiently explained menu items we weren’t familiar with. We’re already planning another visit soon.“

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

“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“

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

“Muy buena organización para servir y elegir tú comida“

“If you’re a fan of ramen with a little kick, the Spicy Chicken Ramen is definitely worth ordering. I’ll be back for it again.

🔥🍜 Definitely a bowl that leaves you planning your next visit before you’ve even paid the check.“

“First time trying this place and it’s 10/10 amazing!!!“

“Fry foods are the best here: not oily“

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

“It's a little hole in the wall restaurant... But the food is excellent! I had the #26 pork sandwich and #9 salad bowl with pork with extra his sauce.... Outstanding! My wife has the #26 with an order of spring rolls. We drive an hour to go there and it's worth it every time!“

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

“The Premium Seafood Pasta and Short Rib Yukgaejang were both so satisfying and flavorful! Rich, creamy, and with just the right amount of spice — definitely a heavier comfort meal, but so worth it when you’re craving Korean noodles and soup. Their banchan is always amazing too. I especially love their kimchi and would honestly buy a jar just to take home. Nice ambiance and plenty of parking!“

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

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

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

“Absolutely the best pho and egg rolls I’ve had! The lunch special is an incredible value—it includes a bowl of pho, two egg rolls, and a drink, and it’s well worth the price.

The food is always served fresh, hot, and full of flavor. One thing that really stands out is the attention to detail and cleanliness. The condiments on the tables are always well-stocked and spotless—no sticky bottles or dried sauce around the lids, which shows how much they care about their customers' experience.

The service is consistently great, the restaurant is clean and welcoming, and the quality of the food never disappoints. If you're looking for authentic, delicious pho and some of the best egg rolls around, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't be disappointed! 🍜🥢✨ Wish I had taken a pic of my food, but it was gone before I knew it 😂“

“very good salad luv it and I would share the news“

“100 % recomendada La comida 🍲 súper rika“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Olive Garden thanks to our server. Lei was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Our drinks were always refilled, the food arrived quickly, and they checked in just the right amount to make sure we were taken care of without feeling rushed. Their positive attitude and great service really made our visit enjoyable. Thank you for the excellent hospitality!“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“We decided to try this place out because we were craving the grilled pork we get downtown at Mai’s but didn’t want to travel. They exceeded our expectation. Everything was fabulous. We had the shaking beef, chicken wings in fish sauce, crab puffs, shrimp spring rolls, and a sampler plate that included about six items, all of which were cooked to perfection. Wait staff was attentive and friendly. All food was cooked to order. Would highly recommend.“

“Great food and exceptional service.“

“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!“

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

“Portioned right. The restaurant is mice sized. Just felt like a club though rather than family restaurant.“

“Fabulous beef noodle soup. Meat was tender with lean and fatty pieces. Beef was not gamey. Noodles were al dente. Broth was clean, but could’ve been a bit richer for another level of deliciousness. (if you’re Vietnamese, it’s like BBH without the oily lemongrass broth). Fried egg was interesting. It didn’t really add to the flavors but was a nice treat. Only vegetables was broccoli. Probably better with Chinese broccoli or some other ask greens. Overall, nice bowl of noodle soup for $11.99. Generous portion. Free hot tea and self service utensils.“

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

“I had a great experience. I ordered a baleada with meat and eggs. The meat was a little bit tough but I figured it's because it's the morning and they probably didn't cook it long enough or cooked it too long. The food was really good and the service was great. I had a nice time.“

“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“

“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 🙂“

“The perfect Friday lunch tradition!
We order from PHO Houston at work almost every Friday, and it has become a staple for a reason. Their classic beef plate with lettuce and vermicelli is consistently delicious and really hits the spot.
You also can't go wrong with their egg rolls—they are never anything less than perfectly crispy and ready to be dipped! If you’re looking for high-quality Asian grill and noodle dishes that are reliable and flavorful, this is definitely the place to go.“

“I tried duck for the first time here, and it completely exceeded my expectations! It was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and helpful.

If you’ve never tried duck before, this is definitely the place to do it.“

“This was my 1st time trying out their food. I had ordered the fajita burrito and fajita quesadillas. And let me yell you, they did not disappoint. My ONLY complaint is I WISH I WOULD'VE TRIED THEM OUT MUCH SOONER!!!!“

“Chun's Cafe proves to be the best mom and pop Chinese Restaurant with wonderful fresh food. I have come twice and stay ordering the Pineapple chicken that has a vibrant yellow sauce with pineapple slices that tastes sweet and then savory once you get to the chicken which is a great quality meat! Their Orange Chicken has a small, but pleasant kick that adds flair to the taste. I tasted my girlfriend's order of their honey peach chicken, and while very sweet, is very delicious and hard to turn away from! The crab rangoon is stellar, the fried exterior is done to a crisp brown coloring so the outside perfectly opposes the melty inside. We arrived around 7 PM and found plenty seating for 5 of us and quick turnaround for the food! They have plenty of options for the family and would highly recommend giving this local spot a try!“

“I had the opportunity to dine here during their grand opening under new management, and it really showed!!! The owner has over 10+ years of experience, which comes through in both the rich, flavorful dishes and the attentive service. My family and I had a wonderful time, and it’s great to have a Vietnamese spot closer to home. Come with an open mind and you might just find your new go-to place for Vietnamese takeout.“

“The food was delicious but the guy who brought me my food was kind of rude. that and the fact that they have no egg rolls is why they get 4 stars instead of 5.“

“We were in the area as I was dropping bae off at the airport and we were looking for something to eat before his flight. We stumbled upon this place and boy am I glad we did because the food was absolutely divine!

I had the garnished tilapia with jollof rice and vegetables. Not sure what vegetables I was eating perhaps spinach but they were cooked to perfection. Bae had the garnished goat meat which was so tender and I appreciate the bite sized cuts instead of the chunky portions. I low key wished I had gotten the goat.
We ended up getting a side of jollof rice because the goat meat plate did not come with any sides. I will definitely be back if I am on that side of town again.

The four stars are because I wish they adjusted the spice levels. I like my food spicy and Bae who is Yoruba’s spice level is not for this world! so the food wasn’t as spicy to both of us as we would’ve liked.

Service was a little bit slow, but I think it’s because they do make the food fresh. Nice clean restaurant great customer service and cannot wait to be back next time I’m in humble“

“Delicious food and nice atmosphere. They have made some interior improvements and changed their flavors from before, it is even better now! Taste is authentic, staff is friendly, highly recommend. We liked the grilled pork rice plate and the combo rice platter.“
