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“

“This place was incredible! I soon as I walked in I was greeted with smiling faces. Seated at the bar immediately. Engaged in some friendly conversation with the staff. I pre studied the menu and ordered immediately. Had a beer in 1 minute and food within 15 minutes of walking in the door. The sushi A combo is a winner! Spider roll was stellar, the fish was very fresh and the technique was top teir! Honestly really enjoyed the experience and wished I lived in the area so I could visit regularly“

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

“I don't know what kind of magic they got goin on in that kitchen, but their kalua pork is the best I've had. Even being to the islands multiple times and my husband being from there (who also agrees). I cannot recommend it enough! Friendly atmosphere and the island bangers playing on the stereo, really gives the restaurant the best vibe! Mahalo!“

“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.“

“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 ! 👍🏼🥳😊“

“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.)“

“Went here for Valentine's Day at 9 pm, about a 15-30 min wait, they gave my girl a rose when we sat down. There are SO many options for broth, meat, vegetables, tons of seafood and tofu options. It took us at least 15 mins to decide what we wanted. No cold desert options after 9 pm. Still gave us the free soft serve at the end though.
If it's your first time, highly recommend basic bone broth/spicy broth duo, pork and beef combo ring, cabbage, yam sticks, dumplings, udon noodles. For just broth n meat and no extras, expect to spend about $30-$40 total. All extras cost about $4.50-$12.
Highly recommend the fried rice cakes for desert.
For sauce bar, mix peanuts, peanut/sesame paste, a little chilli oil, a little oyster or hoisin sauce, green onions, cilantro, with a little soy sauce, (optionally add vinegar).
The servers don't check up on you too much after ordering unless it's to refill your broth. You can take everything leftover home, including broth for round 2 at home. 10/10 highly recommend.“

“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.“

“Amazing Thai food! we loved going here when we lived in Seattle and try to visit everytime we come back.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Surprising unexpected delight by the side of a busy road with not a lot of foot traffic between Swedish Hospital and Virginia Mason! I think more could be done with the decor, and it was understaffed, but the food was AMAZING! I can see why it is so highly rated - the meat is perfectly bribed or seasoned or whatever magic they do to make it tender and infused with flavor throughout. We had the Gyro plate and the Beef Shwarma plate along with the Baba Ganoush - each was excellent in their own way, and the garlic dressing in the accompanying salads is to kill for. Will come again!“

“The food portions were decent with reasonable pricing, and the menu offers good variety. The staff was attentive. Flavor-wise, the dishes were good, though there’s room for improvement. We ordered both the vermicelli and beaf pho. The fresh spring roll appetizer was delicious. The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere with a street view, but the restrooms could be better maintained.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“New restaurant, good food on Alki!“

“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 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. ❤️❤️🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠“

“Pho Vietnam deserves to be a contender for one of the best pho cafes in North Seattle. After spending the entirety of my life eating pho around the greater Seattle area; this is the most consistent, no-nonsense, soul-affirming bowl of soup I've found, by a large margin.

The nuoc cham that arrives with their egg rolls is made in house with pepper flake and grated carrot. They do not add corn syrup. It should also be noted, the carrot is an extremely well thought out way to balance the fishy-acidic sauce.

Their chili paste at the table is also house made with what seems to be palm sugar. It is delicious. Use one of the small sauce dishes they provide table side and pair it with their hoisin.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Have been going here for years. Always excellent, fast, and delicious! Toppings are always fresh and plentiful, the sauces at the table are a great addition, and it’s fantastic to have the complimentary cream puffs. Such a great value as well- worth it to just up-size and go for it for an extra $1 for the next size. Love that they have a really flavorful veggie broth too if you get veggie pho. Perfect meal, especially on a cold night!“

“Okay, hear me out. I’m very generous on my stars. For teriyaki, I will vote Buxx as the best teriyaki in Seattle, greater Seattle. Many reasons it deserves the 5. It’s like they already know what you’re going to order, because the food comes out so fast no matter how long the wait is. They run a tight crew, I assume. Because it’s been the same people running the place for the 20 years I’ve come here. The prices are great, there are many specials you can choose from if you’re craving for salty & sweet, they have a katsu/teriyaki special. For me, I always get the chicken super combo, for $21, you get the chicken teriyaki, salad & rice, potstickers and an egg roll. The people who run the business are the sweetest people , I think the husband and wife switch off on shifts because they’re always open.“

“?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!“

“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“

“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! ❤🤍💚“

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

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

“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.“

“The food was good. It took a long time to get seated, even though there were many empty tables.

I don't think the food was worth what I paid for it, though. It's tough in Seattle, with the boosted minimum wage, to price restaurant food reasonably. But I don't think I'll be going back here.“
