50 Best Soup near Falls Church

“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!“

“Great food and great name!“

“This is the best thai restaurant in NoVA, owned by such a lovely family, who also used to own Happy Thai near Mosaic. We know because we used to go to Happy Thai all the time but since the owner change it wasn’t the same. Through luck we learned that the owner family actually owned this restaurant first! We were ecstatic and indeed, it was the familiar taste that we remember from Happy Thai 2-3 yrs ago!“

“This happened a month ago.
I went to your restaurant last month with some friends who visited me from Italy and they were very satisfied and happy with such a pleasant experience, the food was delicious and the service excellent.
Thank you all.“

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

“DELICIOUS. We were seated immediately, food came quickly, and there were great vegetarian options. The server was friendly though not overbearing. You pay at the counter when you're done. The whole experience was smooth and tasty. I can't wait to go back.“

“THIS IS THE BEST SPOT FOR CHINESE FOOD ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅I hate to see all theses people reviewing , making it seem as if staff and food are not good here . I’ve been coming here over 15 years and not once did I ever get disrespected or seen any unsanitary things . THE FOOD HERE IS SO GOOD IT IS TO DIE FOR SO DONT LET THESE REVIWES FOOL U GO TRY IT OUT . (Btw STAFF ARE SO NICE AND KIND LOVE THEM)“

“I got the all you can eat pasta with angel hair and the creamy mushroom sauce. I forgot the five dollar all you can eat topping of chicken, so I decided to go without that the rest of my plates. The plates come out fast. We had a party of four and two got soup, two got salads. We were only given one order of breadsticks and told they ran out. We left 15 minutes before closing. I still feel like they could’ve brought us some more breadsticks…

Another friend got a lasagna plate, someone else got the pasta and I forget what our other person ordered.

The two of us got soup got the gnocchi soup. That’s always my favorite. It was brought out a normal portion sizes, and super hot. I like that the service was fast because in the past when I got that all you can eat things they take really long time.

The pasta portions for all you can eat, were normal size the first time the other times in a smaller plate, but I felt like it was about the same portions.

The waitress did give us containers to take them to go, including any leftover soup. I thought that was cool. Some places that do all you can eat don’t let you do that.

We went on a Monday night. There was many tables empty. We arrived at 8 o’clock. They close at 10. That was a sufficient amount of time to spend eating and enjoying friends.

I ordered a piña colada that was really good and in a gigantic cup. They did no ice in my cup of water.

I hope this helps you out !“

“An aesthetically pleasing Panera location in a really cute neighborhood with the same great food, service and atmosphere I love at Panera. The team members are very friendly and welcoming and the shop is very clean.

Parking is a little more difficult in this area. There's only street parking available.“

“We’ve ordered pho to go before and tonight we dined in and ordered rice platter and vermicelli. I’m pleased to say this is one of the very solid Asian restaurants I’ve ever been to. And definitely one of the top in DC. I highly recommend and this will be one of our regular restaurants to go to since we live close by.“

“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“

“Loved it!!!!... Nice and Cozy“

“Banh mi and generally the prepared foods“

“If you’re in search of authentic Thai cuisine, look no further than this hidden gem. Tucked away like a best-kept secret, this unassuming spot delivers food that is as delicious as its artful presentation. Each dish is meticulously crafted by the talented Thai chef/owner, whose passion for authentic flavors shines through every bite. The flavor reminded me of homemade food in Thailand.

The service is impeccable, adding to the experience, with the server/bartender who made as feel like valued guests in a cozy, bright and cheerful space. In a neighborhood increasingly filled with gentrified spots, this place is a refreshing reminder of what real, freshly made food should be. I wish I lived here just for the opportunity to dine at this incredible restaurant more often!“

“Saturday night 45 minutes before closing and restaurant was packed. First time trying and we thought it was pretty good pho - probably only second to Pho 75. The staff is very nice and cordial, and you can tell there are a lot of repeat/ familiar customers here.
Only downside is the price - very expensive for a bowl of pho.“

“We are visiting from Tennessee and wanted authentic Thai cuisine. We found it at Sampannee!!! The best Thai meal I have ever eaten. The cocktails were delicious and the food was perfection! Very friendly kitchen and the waitress was very friendly. I’ll be dreaming of Sampannee for many months! So, so good!!“

“We were in DC over the weekend visiting family and had an incredible experience at PhoNatics Noodle Bar! We ate inside the restaurant (although there TONS of to-go orders picked up while we were there. The service was outstanding, and the food was even better. Our group couldn’t stop raving about the Banh Mi Beef and Banh Mi Grilled Pork sandwiches. The caramelized meat paired perfectly with the fresh veggies and sauce— absolute perfection!

For appetizers, we went with the Beef Summer Rolls after seeing them recommended in so many reviews, and they did not disappoint. Fresh, light, and packed with flavor!

Another standout was the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken Vermicelli. It was like a noodle salad packed with fresh veggies and savory, perfectly grilled chicken. The Pho was also solid, but the the items above were the real stars of the show.

Everyone in our group gave this place a 10/10! Highly recommend if you're craving Vietnamese cuisine. Can't wait to come back!“

“Great food at great car meetup.“

“Pho Saigon 75 is a go-to spot for authentic Vietnamese food. The Bún Bò Huế is rich, flavorful, and perfectly spicy with tender beef shank and pig knuckle. The grilled clams are a must-try — smoky, juicy, and topped with a savory mix of scallions, peanuts, and buttery fish sauce. Fast, friendly service and a clean, welcoming space make it even better. Highly recommend!“

“It was my first time there. Food was great. I would definitely return.“

“This is our go to spot for week night dinner! My son wanted Papusas while I wanted a steak and cheese (get the royal with the avocado!! Soooo good!) everyone can get what they want for very reasonable prices.

Pic of my sandwich with a bite taken because I couldn’t wait!

This family owned and operated restauraunt has become a favorite. We love it here. Highly recommend:)

Parking: Easy parking

Kid-friendliness: High chair for baby and my son could do his homework while we waited for our food.“

“Our family lived in Ukraine for 20+ years. We are in DC for Spring Break and found your restaurant online. So, we decided to come and try it out. AMAZING! Your food transported us back to "home"!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh.
The kimchi and radish kimchi (kkakdugi) were also really flavorful.
The staff were very friendly, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained.
It was a wonderful experience overall.
This is definitely the best restaurant in Annandale!
👍👍👍👍👍“

“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“

“These people are doing god's working selling samosa chaat for $7 in an incredibly high COL market. Small cozy takeout spot with the cheapest prices in the area. This chaat is meal sized, and idk where else anywhere near here you could get this quality food for this price. 6 stars!“

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

“I enjoy dining at Earls because, despite rising food costs and inflation, they continue to offer an economical menu. I appreciate the option to order a half sandwich along with a half order of fries. The staff is always friendly and efficient, and the food is consistently delicious. The picture shows a salmon BLT on whole grain bread that has already been enjoyed.“

“Delicious authentic Vietnamese food! I've been here three times now, and each time I loved what I ordered. The first time I had the rice plate with grilled lemongrass chicken (com ga nuong), the second time I had the pho tai chin (eye round steak and well done brisket), and the third time I had the vermicelli bowl with grilled lemongrass chicken (bun ga nuong). The lemongrass chicken here is so good. The food reminds me of the rice plates, vermicelli bowls, and pho that I had when I visited Saigon last year. The staff is all super friendly, and I enjoyed chatting with them, practicing my Vietnamese. I will always try to stop by here again when I'm in the area. I highly recommend Pho 72!“

“Great servers! This was a great surprise to find this place so far south from Maine.“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“Great Service!!! Lobster Roll was a nice segue from a regular fish sandwich.“

“Spices is always delicious. It’s one of our go-tos in the neighborhood and has literally never been a disappointment. When you have a spot like this, it’s not easy to remember to give them a review. It’s just such a part of our routine you forget how important online reviews are for restaurants.My personal favorites are their lychee martinis and crab wontons. The sushi is always fresh and delicious and the staff are always very kind.“

“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!!!“

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great experience at Olive Garden! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Big thanks to Mr. Brayan for being so kind and attentive — he really made our visit special!“

“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. 💯“

“I am a foreigner in DC. It was my first time eating at Panera bread. I bought the sandwich with chicken and avocados. Omg, what a delicious taste, very original, super soft and tasty bread. I loved it, it is a unique sandwich style,
Staff was also super helpful.“

“Excellent food and customer service.“

“I love Panera the sandwiches and the salads. Yesterday my hubby and I ate lunch���“

“We love the food ?“

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

“My husband and parents-in-law Cantonese, they tried a lot of Cantonese dishes in China and in the US, including some very famous restaurants. They are pretty picky in Cantonese dishes, but today when they tried this restaurant, they all agreed that it is among the best. We ordered four Cantonese dishes and a bowl of noodles. All of them are delicious! And the price turned out pretty reasonable. We all decide that we will come back next time when we travel to here again.“

“My local go-to American Chinese restaurant. Family-run joint. Atmosphere is that if a takeout spot; there is nothing wrong with that, but don't expect to dine in. Owners are very friendly and gracious. Prices are reasonable, and the food is usually pretty good with generous portions. Really love their Crispy Szechuan Beef and Szechuan String Beans.

Parking: Strip mall, usually spaces available.“

“First time customer. Ordered the following carryout lunch specials for myself and the kids.- General Tso's Chicken- Crispy Orange Chicken- Chicken with Broccoli- Sweet & Sour Pork- Pork Fried RiceThe gentleman behind the counter was nice and smiled when I entered.The prices were really reasonable and the portion size across the board was good.The kids and I enjoyed everything, especially the orange chicken and sweet and sour pork. We'll be sure to come back.“

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

“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!“

“⚠️ This Panera is located within a hospital system and to avoid confusion, enter at the WOMEN'S HOSPITAL entrance ⚠️

Parking is free for the first 30 minutes in the parking garage.

This Panera location has limited seating but offers a full menu 24 hours a day.“

“It’s the usual Panera experience with a delicious selection of food.

However, the dining area felt a bit off. It was giving an uninviting feel. It was somewhat comfortable, but the ambiance just didn’t feel right. Overall, the place could benefit from an update and improved lighting to bring it up to the Panera vibe. That said, the food & staff were great as always!“
