41 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 place has the cozy, authentic feel of a traditional Korean seolleongtang restaurant. The staff was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything was delicious. Even the kimchi served with the seolleongtang was good! My favorite part was the broth—it was rich, flavorful, and exactly how I like it. Definitely my kind of place. I can see myself coming back often!

Went back again for my Togo order. Big portion and everything was good 🙌✔“

“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. 💯“

“This place rocks! As a former NYer I have to say this place is really the best chineese food in northern VA. The delivery is so speedy also and their food is consistently great. Been ordering from them for 8 years I work close and wow I gotta say they never miss!“

“This place reminds me of that stand up bit about Chinese takeout. The best places have 3.7 stars. Look I don't eat takeout for the kindness of the staff. I want good quick food. This place is that (though the staff were perfectly nice to me)“

“Delicious and nutritious 😋🤤🥬, got the classic P1 🅿1⃣ and boy was I souped 🥣🍜🍲 out 🦘. For appetizers you HAVE to try the A1 🅰☝ it's a CLASSIC. The crispy spring rolls A2 👁‍🗨✌are yummo as well. Had to get a leftover container 🫙 they really hose 〰〽 you down with the soup 🛳!“

“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“

“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“

“I have been eating at Earl's for 15+ years. Personal favorites are the Pork and Fries, Salmon BLT and Cuban Club, but all of the sandwiches and sides are excellent. New Orleans Turkey Gumbo is an underrated choice for something outside the sandwiches as well. Ingredients and staff are the best and I have never had anything but great food here.“

“Found this place tucked away next to the CVS on Gallows Road and decided to give it a shot—I definitely didn’t regret it! The food was amazing, and the service was just as great. Zhou was our server, and he was fantastic. He grilled our food for us, and all of his recommendations were on point.

They were also running their happy hour special, which included all-you-can-eat, and it was such a great deal. Great food, great service, and an overall amazing experience. I highly recommend checking this place out!“

“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!“

“Great food and great name!“

“Food so good I forgot to take a picture of it 🤣 This is such a cozy cafe with a super welcoming vibe! We were greeting by the cafe owner’s son who was super friendly and the owner/chef came out to see us as well! Super lovely people. Can’t wait to bring all our friends here!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“The workers are all lovely and kind, we chatted while my food was being made. The prices are as normal as any other price, and the food was pretty good. I got a pork sandwich, perhaps I shouldn't have gotten it so spicy but other than that it was enjoyable. Totally reccomend!“

“I order food from here at least once a week, sometimes more. Every dish I’ve tried here, I’ve loved. Atmosphere is beautiful, service is excellent, and I’m obsessed with their food. This is my go to food spot, literally can’t get enough.“

“This was one of those deals where I viewed the menu before I went to the restaurant. I sat outside because it was a nice evening.
I had the duck roll appetizer and crying tiger.
Everything came out pretty fast. I thought I had ordered duck spring rolls, but this turned out to be like a burrito, with julienned cucumber and hoisin sauce inside. It was alright, but I wasn’t really a fan.
The crying tiger was cooked perfectly medium rare like I asked. The sauce was a little thinner and lighter than I’m used to getting back in Thailand, but it tasted alright. The beef paired well with the steamed rice I opted for. I think, in retrospect, I would have preferred the nam Tok beef dish and the shrimp spring rolls. Maybe next time.“

“Grill Kabob Express is one of the best places to enjoy delicious Afghan food! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The restaurant has a welcoming atmosphere, and the customer service is outstanding.

A special thanks to Yousef he is an amazing person, very kind, professional, and always makes customers feel welcome. His friendly attitude and excellent service make every visit even better.

I highly recommend Grill Kabob Express to anyone looking for authentic food, great service, and a wonderful dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We love the food ?“

“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!“

“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!“

“5/5 stars for an incredible birthday celebration!

The Birthday Vibe:
We chose Olive Garden for its family-friendly atmosphere to celebrate a birthday. It is our go-to spot for important milestones, and they didn't disappoint.

The Service:
Our waitress, Mariela, took care of our large group and she was a total rock star! She was professional, warm, walked us through the menu, and perfectly answered all of our questions.

The Appetizers:
We started with the Lasagna Fritta and Calamari—both were fantastic and disappeared quickly.

The Soups:
Out of this world! The Zuppa Toscana (spicy Italian sausage, kale, and potatoes in a creamy broth) had the absolute perfect taste and seasoning. We also loved the Chicken & Gnocchi, and the Minestrone was a wonderful, vegan-friendly option for our table.

The Main Dishes: Everything we ordered for our entrees was absolutely delicious.

Great staff, amazing service, and excellent food. We will definitely return!“

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

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

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

“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.“

“A standout favorite in Burke!
Panisa Thai Dining never disappoints. Every dish came out fresh, perfectly balanced, and full of authentic flavor—hands down some of the best Thai food in the area.
The service was just as wonderful as the meal; the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. We also noticed they recently added new specialty cocktails to the drink menu, which made for a fantastic pairing with the meal.
Between the delicious food, great drinks, and friendly hospitality, Panisa remains a regular go-to. Highly recommend checking it out!“

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

“love the food here I like to get their beef knife cut noodle soup and their various cantonese style dishes. service is quick and efficient and restaurant is nice and clean and cool, perfect with pairing with their complementary tea and noodle soup“

“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!“

“I ordered the never-ending pasta bowl, and I have to say both the food and service were fantastic. I was never stuck waiting long for my server and the pastas I ordered came within 5-10 minutes. He also filled my salad bowl to the brim and my water was kept filled. Service did not slow down after 5+ pasta orders (which it usually does). Very satisfying experience!!’“

“역시 튀김류와 고추짬뽕 매생이 누룽지탕은 최고인듯 합니다! ^^“

“Great place to dine and relax! Ordered the Fuji Apple Chicken Salad, Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup, and a chocolate croissant. The food was fresh and delicious, though I would’ve preferred the soup served a bit hotter. The staff were super friendly, and all of my requests were handled perfectly with no problems. Will definitely be back!“

“The best takeout spot in Alexandria, without a doubt. The food is great especially for the price of the combo platters. I swear they must have figured out how to cook while driving because the food ALWAYS shows up as though it just came out of the pan while the drinks are ice cold in the same bag. Every. Single. Time. The best.“

“Szechuan Delight has maintained over 30 years of consistent good food, unchanged great taste, quick customer service. I was living off beauregard st. behind the old shoppers in 1995 and working at my first job at arby's when I discovered Szechuan Delight. There were always very affordable and quick.. Items used to be around 5.95 or $6.95.. They have excellent lomein, hunan and szechuan dishes. However what is very unique to that restaurant is their Chicken & Hot Garlic dish. In course of time, after college, I moved to maryland, then florida, followed by long stay in europe. I have never found anything close that their chicken & hot garlic sauce dish.. Every chance I get to visit virginia, perhaps every few years, I try to stop at szechuan delight for that dish and even after 30 years, it still tastes exactly the same. I've looked up thousands of instructions and could never replicate it.. I hope my next visit, the chef might allow me to learn how to make that dish, so I can enjoy it while living in europe.“
