48 Best Soup near Annandale

“You have got to ask for Jay Kim, he is the best server in the house. He was patient and ever so helpful with us as first time hot potters. I had a vegetarian hot pot, well, except for the dumplings. Although they have no vegetarian options, he worked with me and provided me with an alternate option. It would be more awesome for them to add it to their menu tho for those of us who just love veggies. The broth is vegetarian based so it makes sense to have a vegetarian option along with it. We had a party of 8 and Jay Kim made it so much fun!!! The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh. One other option that would have been great to have would be fresh ginger at the sauce bar and mushrooms on the vegetable plate. We were all pleasantly pleased with our food. The ambiance is very nice, low light but more than enough to cook and enjoy each other's company. Jay Kim made sure we always had what we needed. The sauce bar was amazing, so many choices. I recommend making a few bowls, some for the broth and and some for dipping your cooked food. If you get any type of meat, also make a sauce to marinade the meat. You don't have to but it made a good difference. Meats are thinly sliced for quick cooking and again,so fresh. The price was worth the amount of food and the experience. There is an all you can eat option or an a la carte option where you just get one meat selection and a vegetable plate which was more than enough for us as a party of young ladies. This was a great first hot pot experience and I definitely recommend it, just make sure to ask for Jay Kim. I know you will enjoy it!!!“

“I eat Pho for fifteen years… it’s delicious.. I love the crispy chicken wing too“

“This was a really cozy and yummy place. All of the workers are extremely friendly and the food made me want seconds. I got the sullungtang, the combination sullungtang and fried dumplings and it came with kimchi and it was soooo good. I totally recommend this place.“

“There are so many pho restaurants in NOVA, but Pho Hai Duong has quickly become my favorite. I order their combination pho with extra hoisin and jalapeños at least once a week, and with their early opening hours I can even get pho for breakfast! I love the quality of their meat, the flavor of their broth, and the consistency of the meal each time I order. I definitely recommend this restaurant and feel spoiled to be able to eat there so regularly. 💯“

3. The food. I just ordered the combination fried rice (spice levels included).
4. Taste, it was very good. I will go again!!“

“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!!!!“

“So good! Loved everything and service was great“

“Hubby and I are at this place possibly a few times every month because it is the best pho in town! We also love their fried tofu. They honor military (10% discount). Shout out to the friendly and hard working Felix and Han. Keep up the good work!!!“

“This spot seriously does not miss. Every single thing we ordered was crazy good , flavorful, fresh, and the kind of food that makes you immediately plan your next visit while you’re still eating. The Korean BBQ was fire, the sides kept coming, and the whole vibe felt warm and welcoming without trying too hard. Service was on point too. Easily one of those places you end up recommending to everybody.“

“This small, locally owned, family run business is highly recommended. Awesome lunch, and good service and food quality provided every time. The steak and cheese is great, the deli sandwiches made to order are fantastic, the turkey special is yummy, and I love the Roman wrap. Great prices and value. Please show this biz some love and stop by for breakfast, lunch or dinner before 8pm. Self-service. Seating available. Takeout also available.“

“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“

“Great food and great name!“

“Since moving to Arlington, Earl’s Sandwiches has become our go-to, absolute favorite location for quality sandwiches! Everything’s fresh, delicious…and made with quality ingredients. Finally, a sandwich shop where you don’t have to settle for processed deli turkey; at Earl’s they roast their own daily, and we love the delicious chunks of meat. It’s like a homemade Thanksgiving dinner, but available in 15 minutes! Love the monthly specials.“

“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“

“Everything is delicious. I love all the options.“

“This place has been on my take-out rotation since I moved here and they never disappoint! My first time here in the middle of summer, they apologized profusely about the bread being flat due to temperature control issues, but I genuinely could not tell— it was still ridiculously good. I remember thinking “if this is a bad bread day.. then what is a good bread day like??” The answer: amazing. perfect. Nothing compares. Soft and fluffy on the inside with a very nice crust on the outside. I made the mistake of going to another bahn mi place in the area the other day, and all I could think about was how much I would rather be eating a sandwich from Simply Bahn Mi. I haven’t tried the pho, but the sandwiches here are perfection!!“

“The best Vietnamese food hands down! When I’m in the area I always have to stop by Le Bledo to get a banh mi and a soup. The consistent quality and attention to detail is what makes this place great. I know what to expect so I’m always satisfied with my food from the fresh baked daily bread to the variety of Vietnamese classic soups such as pho, bun bo hue, and bun rieu 😋 10/10 highly recommend and bring a friend!“

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

“$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!“

“We love the food ?“

“Recommended! 👍👍
Stopped by after an event, and we were warmly welcomed by one of the staff. We did takeout and the portions were generous!

We got chicken cashew, pad Thai and pad see yew with their fresh Thai tea.

Service was quick, and the surrounding ambiance is pleasant. Very clean with fresh flowers on the tables.

But really, the staff were so friendly and kind, and the food is delicious!

Note: Parking is at the corner before the restaurant.“

“If you want a great breakfast, with homemade home fries and great pancakes, go to Madison deli. They also have terrific sandwiches salads and soups. During non-Covid times, they make the best Korean bulgogi around. I highly recommend it!“

“I ordered the Nepali chatpate and was really looking forward to it, but it wasn’t very flavorful and could use more spices and veggies. I also got the chicken tikka masala which was really good! There was also no one at the front where my food was.“

“I always like their food and services there. Good place to have home made Vietnamese food.“

“Yesterday was my first visit to Elephant Jumps. I was impressed by the many menu items I’d never heard of before, especially the ones that said there was no option to substitute ingredients, even the meat. That tells me they want their customers to experience those dishes in their traditional form. Everything I ordered was delicious and I can’t wait to go back!“

“Absolutely love the service and experience you get here!! The food is spectacular and so rich in flavor, and you can even get freshly squeezed juice to go with your delicious meal!! Love the staff and will continue to make it any chance I get!!“

“This my second times I went there my favorite restaurant very cleaning. The food very good 👍 people worked there they are nice. I will go again soon with my friends. Love ❤️ it!“

“I have been going to this olive garden for years and I am always happy with the food and service. Today, we had exceptionally excellent service from Arsiha. He was super attentive, friendly, went above and beyond to make sure we were happy eaters.“

“Best egg rolls and crab wontons I’ve ever had“

“This is great Pho, would totally recommend. Awesome fast service :)“

“Food is nice 👍 and friendly staff as well no negative comments“

“역시 튀김류와 고추짬뽕 매생이 누룽지탕은 최고인듯 합니다! ^^“

“I recently visited Panera and had such a pleasant experience overall. The atmosphere was clean, and the customer service truly stood out!
It was actually Easter, and I had a long, emotional day—I had taken my mother to the hospital and, being 8 months pregnant, I hadn’t eaten yet. I was exhausted and overwhelmed. But an employee named Anthony completely turned my day around.
His attitude was amazing—so polite, patient, and genuinely kind. He treated me with such care and respect, and in that moment, it meant everything. This is exactly the kind of customer service we need more of today.
I’m so grateful for that experience—it’s honestly going to be a core memory for me of how customer service should be. God bless him!“

“The staff here is extremely polite and helpful. I was greeted by Labrell who is extremely nice and helpful. He helped me and another couple get set up with the wonder app and gave recommendations on which foods to try. I highly recommend the wonder Reston location and if you get a chance to meet Labrell he will put a smile on your face and brighten your day!!“

“Very helpful and friendly staff. Managers present helping speed up the serving process and they are very helpful should you need anything. ALI provides awesome customer service and makes sure you have a pleasant visit. Ali went above and beyond today to make sure I found the food items I was looking for and that I was satisfied. Cannot recommend dealing with him enough.

Really nice improvements here at this location the past few weeks to bump my review up to 5 stars for this Panera.
For reference we stop by 1-2 times a week at this location. Typically between 3-4.
We frequently order the Roasted Turkey & Avocado.
The new Deli Ham sandwich is really nice too as they return ham sandwiches to the menu!“

“The restaurant nailed it with this pad kratiam—service was swift, the ambiance cozy, and the chef clearly knows how to balance Thai flavors. The dish was presented beautifully, and the veggies were perfectly fresh. Overall, a top‑notch spot for authentic Thai comfort food that’ll have you coming back for more.“

“I really love this place! The food is always hot, flavorful, and the portions are huge (they give you so much rice!). The menu offers a great variety, and the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get. The pick-up service is quick and efficient — my order is always ready when I arrive. Definitely one of my favorite spots for Chinese food, I always leave satisfied.“

“Thank you Panera, my dinner was: free Pick 2 meal and a free large drink. 😋 <3 👍“

“Excellent food and customer service.“

“I’ve been a huge fan of Saladworks for years, so I was thrilled when this new location opened! The variety of salads is incredible, but what really sets this spot apart is the staff. They are incredibly kind and genuinely elevate the entire experience.“

“Their food, customer service and fast delivery are all great and consistent. My favorite would be the Chef’s special orange chicken which comes with a side box of white rice. Try the veggie spring roll, crispy and delicious. Ask them for some homemade chili oil. Thank you!!“

“Food is typical Panera. Coffee bar is there. They get it done quick and have the typical ordering pods near the actual register as well as a pick up area and status board.

This Panera has something others don't. The young person there when I ordered was genuinely interested in providing great service, kind, and actually wanted to be good to everyone that came in. They even seemed to recognize regulars. Even if it was fake, it was appreciated.

Only negative was that there wasn't any place to plug in my laptop, but I get it. Still a nice surprise compared to the one near me.“

“I like this location best. There's always plenty of parking and they have good customer service. The food is always delicious. 👌 😋“

“Food was excellent and plenty of it. The server was friendly and quick to bring the food to the table. My only problem was the device used to pay the bill. Somewhat hard to use and the waiter had to help us with it. Seems to make things easier for the restaurant and not the guests. Also don't agree with using the device to play games and having to pay for them. Come on 3 people for lunch came to over $80.00. Charging for the games is excessive.“

“Nice 😊 place! Yummy food great view“

“I have been going to Panera at Pike Plaza a few evenings for dinner in the last couple of months, and Roberto (from the evening shift) has been extremely courteous and kind. He has been accommodating if I arrived near closing. I have to also add that it has been two years that I come to this location, almost daily, as a subscriber, every day. Every single person here is awesome, Omar, and his team, Guchi, Patty, Garry, Karoleus, Karina, Phillip, Michelle, Ellen, and .... others that I am sorry I might have missed. This kind of hospitality, big smiles, and professionalism is hard to find in this day and age, and it is the reason I keep coming back everyday. This is my comfort place.“
