44 Best Soup in Seattle

“The food was phenomenal! Authentic, flavorful and so delicious. My mind was blown the whole night. Their mocktails and sweet tea are amazing! We will definitely be coming back!“

“We absolutely loved the food, the people, and the history - what an experience! Thank you for an unforgettable night!“

“This amazing establishment provided chowder & bisque for the Classic Yacht Association's Bell Harbor Rendezvous over this last Fathers' Day weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed luscious bowls of absolute scrumptiousness, and appreciated their courteous, kind, and professional staff. Thank you!!! Highly recommend!“

“The services at this restaurant was top notch! The food were amazing and well done. Loved the environment and good music. Will be back soon“

“Delicious food and tea, and the best service I’ve seen in a while. Our server Khoi made the experience very enjoyable, in addition to the already exceptional meal. This is some of the best Japanese food I’ve had, I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Delicious food, excellent service and the drinks! If you know, you know. 😉“

“We scanned the QR code and ordered from our phone. Not a fan of putting wait staff out of jobs. The staff there was attentive and came by to answer questions. A way to sort dishes by spice level would have been helpful cause that was a filter for us but when we asked they said they could make it any spice level we wanted in the comments. They did have a sort for their. OST popular dishes which was helpful “not to miss” category which the staff pointed us to. The restaurant was clean and the bathroom I visited was clean except there was urine on the floor from someone with poor aim recently (we got there when they opened). We had the beef and green beans, cumin pork and chicken fried rice. The cumin pork has great flavor and was my favorite however the pork was in small bone pieces and fatty so you had to be careful and have strong teeth (to tear) to eat the dish IMHO. It was well done, dry and definitely crunchy. It would have been good to have a sauce to get more moisture in the dish. I found it best to use my fingers to eat the pork. The beans and beef was perfectly cooked and beef strips and very tender - not fatty. There was a sauce in the dish but it didn’t have that much flavor but when mixed with the rice and pork helped to moisturize the drier dishes. The chicken fried rice was average and didn’t have much special flavor. We were looking for dishes that weren’t too spicy and we got that so my review reflects our desire to keep the heat low. Service was very fast and attentive, but wasn’t too busy either. Overall a pleasant experience and I felt good value cause we ordered 3 dishes, left full and with some leftovers. I would visit again.“

“Such an incredible new Chinese place for north Seattle! Every dish we had was amazing. Mongolian beef with crispy rice noodles--perfect flavor. The sweet and sour pork was like nothing we've had before, and the pot stickers are clearly made from scratch on site, they taste soooo fresh. Best of all, the chef had just whipped up a bath of popcorn chicken with this amazing sweet/spicy seasoning, and let us try it to give our opinion on the new recipe. So good! Very high quality food, made fresh, and incredibly reasonable prices. (Most entrees I saw are $9-12.) And the owners are exceptionally kind and professional. This will be our go to when we are in the neighborhood.“

“Seattle you have no business having Laulau this good. Some of the best I've ever had. Tender, buttery, juicy, salty. Rice was tender, little soft but solid Mac salad. Great portion size. I only wish they had some fire water soy sauce.

Place was Completely packed on a Saturday lunch. Help a business out and bring CASH if you can.“

“Been here once and impressed. Ordered the special, soup and sandwich, who’d guess. M ore filling than bread; fresh tasting focaccia style bread, fresh tomato and greens, all good things! Soup was good. They have 12+ soups on hand. My clam chowder was perfect. Usual style chowder, wasn’t watery or overcooked so perfect.
If you want soup with variety of accompaniments this place fits the bill.
It’s the least flashy place there so both days very little line.“

“Foods are authentic taste, staff is polite and eager to serve us during our meal. Restroom is clean and restaurant location is easy to reach in Fremont area. We recommend here ! 👍🏼🥳😊“

“Came by on a quick lunch break and enjoyed my experience. I had the Hue style beef soup. Everything was very tasty and kept me warm in the Seattle rain. I liked the variety of meat and the spicy soup base gave me a lovely numbing mouth feel. I will say I think they accidentally gave me lettuce instead of cilantro, or I could’ve been mistaken. Either way, this is a great spot.“

“I love the food, and the owner was very kind hearted.

I bought chicken sandwich, chicken platter, lentil soup and gyro plater, all are very delicious. The owner was very generous and kind hearted. I did not have enough money to pay because I forgot my wallet at home and he let me pay the next day😍.
Thank you sooo much Mohammad, may God reward you and your family greatly.
I am very happy costumer.“

“Menu is awesome, quick services and good food!“

“Delicious!!!!! Their food is HOT so be forewarned but it is soooo delicious.“

“The food was fresh and tasty! The space is bright and roomy.“

“This place has a special place in my heart. I've enjoyed the restaurant a few times on my own but me and my friend went in on the dia de los muertos parade event and it just felt *right*. Chips and queso is so good. The tacos are always good. Gotta say, the potato taco is my favorite. They also serve two soups and who doesn't love a warm cup of soup? It is a little pricey but it's worth the hype.“

“I get my Little Ting's food from their Greenwood location. I've ordered from Little Ting's twice, and both times I've been very satisfied with the food I got! The potstickers and buns (northern-style dumplings) are delicious--I particularly like the pork and Napa cabbage potstickers. They send small containers of chili oil and soy sauce to use on the dumplings, and this is a great addition! If you're a vegetarian, there are veggie options for the dumplings (don't know if it's vegan but it's definitely vegetarian). It's wonderful to have an authentic dumpling shop in the neighborhood! I'll be back. A lot. Highly recommended!!! (If you want to order delivery, you can order via DoorDash.)“

“Had a hankering Sunday evening for an elite Lobstah Roll while in Newport, RI so I did a lil internet searching and Luke's was consistently at the top of the list. Checked out their menu online and saw they offered a Lobster Roll flight! SOLD! Off I went to find parking and get an order ASAP. Found Luke's on the corner on the Wharf and got to ordering with a quickness. Lobster Roll Sampler with three 2 oz half-rolls: lemon butter, spicy honey butter, and truffle butter w/ chips and a soft drink. Choice of Sea Salt or Sea Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips, and choice of beverage. I got the Sea Salt and Vinegar (duh) and Blueberry Lemonade in a glass bottle. The lobster in their rolls comes cold, but for a $1 upcharge, you can get it warm, which is my preference. I also got an affordably priced Poppy Seed Slaw. Folks - these Lobster Rolls deserve top billing on "Best Of" lists. My fav might have been the truffle butter lobster roll. It adds something I never knew a lobster roll was missing, but they were all delectable. The roll makes the roll, though. Buttery sourdough with the perfect thin layer of crisp. All flavors were well-balanced and left me wanting more, even though it was plenty food to make a satisfying meal with maybe/maybe not room for dessert. I honestly didn't get any dessert nearby because I didn't want to lose the taste of what I just had! The Poppy Slaw was different, but in a good, not-too-different way. It was a little on the dryer side for my liking, but I liked it just the same. I am sorry to other local Lobster Roll vendors because I don't think I'll try anywhere new on my next visit. It'll be Luke's, no doubt. I might even make a special trip just for the rolls sooner rather than later, but that time I will try the chowder too!“

“I absolutely love this place! Total hole-in-the-wall (as the best places are) and incredible food. Family-owned! They have online ordering for pickup or delivery, AND btw if you’re vegetarian, they have a vegetarian broth for their pho so 💯 just saying. Pictured here are the 5-spice chicken banh mi, cole slaw salad, and some home-brewed Thai iced tea 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Also, I normally get grandma le’s egg rolls and oh my god 🤤 highly recommended!“

“My first time in and really didn’t have many expectations but was blown away by the friendly staff. Ordered papaya salad w/ tofu. Tofu came fried to perfection in my book. Requested some fish sauce, the server asked if I would prefer fish dressing, big smile on my face :). Ordered a (banh-mi) sandwich w/ tofu, tofu was a little soft for my liking but had great flavor and a overly fair amount of ingredients, two thumbs up 👍. I received a side of fish dressing I used some chilly paste in it, the other server asked if I would like to have the chilly oil… ohh man was I happy with that suggestion!! Loved it!! Would recommend for an authentic flavor and palates. Will return and try more. Super excited to have a very good pho place here at the beach!! Thanks for doing what y’all doing there!!“

“Best Salmon EVER!!!! And what a fun crew working there too!!!! These folks can cook, I HIGHLY recommend the Salmon and coleslaw!!! Next time I’m up in Seattle, I’m definitely going back to them!“

“New restaurant, good food on Alki!“

“The Rabbit Box rules for honest Seattle music. Low key, hi-fi, all genres of music and people, great food, and absolutely unique vibe. It’s under historic panels of glass built into the sidewalks on Pike St. at the Market. Seriously, you can hear great sounds, drink a fabulous cocktail and eat super food while you actually enjoy seeing people walk all over you. ❤️❤️🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠“

“Hidden Gem with the Best Phở in Seattle**

Phở Vietnam is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall treasure. Tucked away in Ballard, this unassuming little spot delivers *some of the most soul-warming phở you’ll find anywhere in Seattle*. The broth is rich, clear, and deeply flavorful—the kind that’s clearly been simmering for hours, maybe days. It’s comfort in a bowl.

The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the service is always quick and kind. It’s the kind of place where locals become regulars, and one visit is all it takes to understand why.

No frills, no gimmicks—just pure, perfect phở that hits the spot every single time. If you're a fan of Vietnamese cuisine (or just really, really good soup), this place is not to be missed.

We thoroughly enjoyed luscious bowls of absolute scrumptiousness, and appreciated their courteous, kind, and professional staff. Thank you!!! Highly recommend!“

“I was expecting this place to be so much better. I’m not saying it’s bad but my biggest complaint is that the pies were not even close to being hot enough. I knew these were not going to be made from start to finish at order but they were barely warm. If that aspect changed I’d probably go back but until I hear from someone else I need my food HOT!“

“Try the Obama Noodle...it’s really good!“

“This is a Cap hill neighborhood classic, no frills no thrills, just good pho. Ive been to this location many times and t never disappoints:) ! Great service , quick food, tasty broth! As a sweet treat girly, I appreciate the cream puff you get.“

“This place always serves a delicious hot bowl of pho. The family that runs the place is warm and hospitable. They have a fantastic vegan pho. They serve safe food for people who have peanut and tree nut allergies too! In my opinion the best pho in the city!“

“This is a small restaurant with limited sit down seating. They do a robust takeout and delivery business so they are always busy. The servers are not on top of you but they are responsive if you need something. Food comes out as it's done.

The food is delicious, we got several things a noodle soup, beef tenderloin, chive and pork dumplings, and pork and the pickled cabbage noodle dish.

The noodle soup fish broth was amazing and so flavorful. You can choose you noodles and I chose the normal noodles which were very good. One of the toppings we chose was the pickled vegetables and they were so good.

The beef tenderloin is an appetizer and served on a bed of lettuce. The beef is so tender and the sauce on the lettuce was very good. We were a little unsure about the lettuce but it was amazing.

The dumplings are obviously homemade and they were very good. They were large and stuffed with filling.

The pork and pickled cabbage was very good. It is spicy, we thought it was a 4 out of 5 on the white people scale of spicy.“

“I love skewers but haven’t been able to find any quick spots in Seattle, so was excited to have stumbled onto this place!

The chicken cutlet was crispy and delicious, although the chicken skin wasn’t very crunchy at all. Definitely not the best skewers I’ve had, but it was solid and nice for a quick meal. I’ll be returning to try other skewers! Service was friendly, although it was pretty busy so took longer than we expected for our two skewers.“

“What a wonderful spot and a perfect stop after visiting Kubota Garden. The dining room was clean and spacious, and the service prompt and friendly. The bun bo hue was delicious and a welcome change from the salt bomb broths I’ve become accustomed to from Vietnamese noodle soups in Seattle. The flavors were nuanced and not too heavy or salty. I especially enjoyed the tender pork knuckle and the (homemade?) small meatballs flecked with what tasted and appeared to be makrut lime leaves. An easy place for kids - my 5 year old slurped up his plain pho.“

“I’m giving it five stars because it’s cheap and fast pho. It’s not amazing or anything it’s just good when you’re craving it yk. Also, the front door kept becoming slightly open so it would constantly blow cold air in. the other reviews said that it was lacking depth and i thought ‘well thats specific’ and didn’t think they were right. But surprisingly it’s a fitting word, the pho isn’t bad it’s just lacking depth.“

“We had shrimp Teriyaki and chicken and beef combo Teriyaki.
Both very good, the shrimp was slightly over cooked which is not bad but my preference is for it to be less dry like. The beef/chicken combo was very good, the chicken very tender with the just right amount of char giving it a very nice flavor. The beef was extra tender and tasty as well. I would come back to this place as service was good, service with a smile. The food came within a reasonable amount of time, not a long wait. Tables were nice and clean, no film residue which is pleasant to find. Nice neighborhood establishment.“

“?FOOD?: 8/10
Quality: This is a very nice Chinese Noodle place! We ordered a fried rice, and lamb with scallion! The food quality was better than I expected! They are not super oily and salty, I really like the fried nice, it has a nice satay touch. The lamb is very flavorful, and it does not taste overwhelming! We all loved them!

Appearance: They look great! They look appetizing and I loved the colors combination LOL

Portion size: Very generous portion, my friend cannot even finish her fried rice and I have to finish it for her! And 4 of us shared 3 main dishes and we were all full.

??‍ Service??‍: 7/10
Friendliness: The lady that served us is very nice and friendly! She is very kind and attentive! I love her!

Timeliness: Food arrived quite fast, we did not wait for too long and it came to us in nice and warm temperature.

Environment: Very clean and nice, Very old-fashioned Chinese noodle spot that looks almost the same as China. This is a very small restaurant and I think it is cute to dine in here!

Location: Great location! Right on the ave and they do not have a big sign so it might be a bit hard to know where they are. But it is obvious if you look closely!“

“I will keep it brief: Me before my smoothie = :( Me after my smoothie = :) Thank you for nurtuting my soul, Juicy Cafe!“

“WE LOVE EVERYONE THAT WORKS AT TAQUELIA TAQUERIA! They are so nice and always treat us like family. Food-wise, I recommend smothering everything in their amazing homemade salsa 😂 Their burritos are massive and a family-favorite. I love the taco salad and little tacos!! How can I pick just one thing?? It's all amazing! ❤🤍💚“

“Okay when people told me there is no legit Chinese restaurant in Seattle I had no expectations for this place. However this place blowed my minds and the dumplings, soup, wonton everything they have are even better than what I had in China. If you love Chinese dumplings please gooooooo!“

“Great food and great service I go there every time I visit my daughter“

“This place is truly incredible. Noodles are routinely perfect texture and don’t stray. The service is excellent and the spicy miso is next level with the pan fried accompaniment. I enjoy more than Marugame and it’s hard to beat the Niku! Well done!“

“Good food. Quick. Reasonable prices. Yummy. Do not hesitate. FIVE STARS!“

“Aunthentic Chinese Mandarin food NOT Americanized Prepare to be surprised & pleased!“

“Decent broth (does have MSG) , they do jave other MSG free options ok the menu. The friend rice can use some help bit overall it's decent.“
