35 Best Soup near Berkeley

“Affordable, high-quality, freshly-made, and generous portions. I stop by here often when I want something healthy for lunch. I typically get the falafel wrap, comes with a side salad. Also they have a large selection of fun drinks like kombucha, flavored sparkling water, and probiotic sodas!“

“Tasty chowder & friendly staff“

“Solid quantity and quality of food for its pretty reasonable price. Ordered a shrimp udon and though the noodles were not true udon, it was a solid quantity of food and came with six shrimp. And a bowl of miso soup. A nice environment too. Tastes pretty good.“

“Had two rolls as well as a few of the special fish. They were all really delicious, albeit pricey. Service was great; water kept pouring and we were looked after. We sat in the "back;" it was quiet and there was plenty of conversation to be had. And I really loved the kimono that was hanging on the wall.“

“they serve delicious,fresh and yummy food items,friendly environment with great hospitality.“

“I recently visited for their 2024 Berkeley Restaurant Week dinner set for two, which turned to be the best bargain comparing with the ones in the past. It came with kimchi pancake, half order of KFC wings, and a bottle of beer or Soju. However, being a long-time patron, I'm very disappointed at their Yang Nyum KFC wings that are no longer crunchy and spicy. Not sure if the chef had left or they changed the recipe, but the sauce is no longer red, thick, tangy and spicy like the way that got me hooked years ago. To me, it tastes like the sweet chili sauce used for Lumpia Shanghai, one that's available in Asian supermarket.“

“Tried this place on a whim one night and was really pleasantly surprised! I love the style of personal hot pot when you get to pick all your own ingredients, but it had been a really long time since I've found one near me. I loved this place! All the ingredients were so fresh and they were very quick after we gave it to them. It was also fairly priced in comparison to Berkeley prices - it's $16 per pound and mine ended up being around $18.50. I thought it was well worth for the quick service, great food, and comforting, cozy atmosphere.“

“old skool cool. i've had many a meal here. it's probably responsible for how much i weigh after college.......actually i went here even more after graduating. everything is good. in particular pepper garlic chicken and basil eggplant chicken are two tasty standouts. good pad thai and pad see ew too. thankfully i work a little farther away from campus now, so i can't go here too often....but maybe i'll go again...“

“Luke's Lobster is located in the heart of the city and jt offers a taste of Maine's famous lobster. Lobster rolls are filled with generous portions of tender lobster meat and served on buttery, toasted rolls.The menu also includes other seafood options such as shrimp and crab rolls, chowders and salads. I find small shrimp roll to be very filling as a lunch option. Crab roll, based on other Bodega Bay restaurants I visited, is just ok. I only had it once.The casual atmosphere of the restaurant adds to the overall experience.“

“Really love this place ! Food is delicious! Outdoor dining is refreshing.“

“Pushkin delivers you high quality and authentic Russian and Ukrainian dumplings. Dumplings with cherries taste like home made. Borsch is delicious and tastes the same as if I cook it. It was hard to believe! I highly recommend it☺️“

“As an Indian who is often skeptical of the restaurants around the Bay, I was quite impressed by this.Good value for money, overall good flavor (not too whitewashed lol), great service, nice ambiance.Wish the best to this restaurant and hope they include more South Indian dishes in the future!“

“Food was so good and authentic tasting here. Uncommonly large selection of specialty Chinese herbal soups that are "double boiled" the way traditional soups should be made with a great, clean taste. Steamed lotus leaf rice also had a clean, fragrant aroma. I also haven't had such delicious Chicken noodle soup in a while. Highly recommend the food and hope to try more. Restaurant was full but there was seating upstairs as well. Service is excellent and mainly provided by an efficient, smart lady.“

“Wonderful pho, shrimp spring wraps, and fried tofu. But I especially appreciated the amazing service!! I called in my order because it was large, and I needed it quickly. The gentleman who took my order repeated it all back to me to make sure it was correct. When I picked it up, it was packed up in a box, but the server took the time to make sure the entire order was there. Wonderful food and wonderful service!!“

“Went here after watching a show in the area. A small quaint place that is open till late. The servers were really nice and friendly. We got kinchi fried rice with chicken and spicy sauce boneless fried chicken. The spicy sauce was more sweet and less spicy and I wish it were the other way around but overall food was decent.“

“One of the best restaurants in SFO chinatown. This is one of the ONLY restaurants to open early. After looking for breakfast and finding nothing opens Until 11am- We were not impressed by chinatown in SFO. Much better in other cities. But this place saved us! Good food and good service.“

“Food was impeccable, the only thing that wasn't excitingly flavorful was the tea which was to be expected. The staff did a tremendous job of serving us amazing food. The actual service was a tad bit slow, however if you don't worry about that then I highly recommend this place. If I was in the area, I would immediately return. Whether you have kids or not, for AMAZING Chinese food this is the place to be.Dietary restrictions: Whatever your need, I'm sure they would be flexible per your request. If unsure, call before hand.Parking: It's downtown so I would park at the closest parking garage then mosey on over.Kid-friendliness: They did an excellent job of serving our children and we had a lot of them.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for entry and exit of restaurant.“

“Came here on Friday, after a movie (at AMC) for lunch. It's a short walk and the food is great! Much better than food court food. There's a nice traffic of what looks like regulars and no wait to be seated. The dining room has a nice cozy feel to it -- not spartan like some of the Vietnamese restaurants in Sunset. And it was very pleasantly nice to step into the cozy space. Waiter is friendly, though they seem thinly staffed so service was not very fast. We had: * Hue rolls for Appy: SO fresh, lovely bouncy rice wrap + the pork is amazingly flavored. Their Hue Roll is much better than their spring roll. The pork has an amazing smoky, rich flavor without being heavy. * Beef Bo: a little annoying that it costs extra if you want beef balls, tendons or trip, but it tasted really good. Really fresh ingredients and very satisfying. You may have to ask for the sprouts and hoisin sauce/Sirarcha. Ours came once we asked for it, but did not come by default. For me, the accompaniments (esp lime, sprouts, Thai basil and hoisin/sirarcha) really makes the Beef Bo for me SO do ask if you don't get it by default Love finding this restaurant! Tin now has 3 locations across SF, including one on Spear (which used to be called MAU), which is how I recognized to come here. Love the Tin food!! Specialty is the pork and the lemongrass chicken with rice is also super satisfying -- a little gingery & caramel-y. They really specialize in meats that have a bit of caramelization + a fresh take with an aromatic combo (like lemongrass, ginger, etc).“

“Came on a Sun around 2pm for a party of 3. There was about a 20 min wait. Great food, no complaints! We ordered the Soy Garlic Chicken (half size), Creamy Rose Spicy Rice Cake, and Beef Short Rib Stew. The chicken and rice cake were both very flavorful while the beef short rib stew was light (just how we like it). Portions are pretty big so careful not to over order. We had left over chicken and rice cake to box up! Service nice and attentive.“

“Got a recommendation from the hotel, and it was great! Service was eh yet not bad. Kitchen was busy and quick. Food delicious. High prices - $15 for a bowl of soup… but overall I would go back.“

“Twice in one week in a business trip to SF - happened upon ilppudo and came back a few days later. Friendly staff, great Raman and nice interior.“

“They have good food here and they still open“

“I love Pho Vy! The environment is always very friendly and welcoming. Mom and pop shop located in Little Saigon. They have off menu items along with their variety of goodies on existing menu. My go to’s is their bun bo hue, bun rieu, bo kho, rice plates and all of their appetizers. Always a supporter of local mom and pop shops.“

“I LOVE Bento & Bowls. I always order the bulgogi bowl for take out online. It’s plenty of food and it’s consistently good.I’ve never eaten at the restaurant, it’s definitely meant to be a take out spot. There are a couple small tables if you realllly want to eat there.There’s a small, free parking lot. Could park on the street too.Anyway, go here if you don’t feel like cooking dinner :)“

“Affordable delicious lunch spot for people who work in downtown sf or want to grab a quick bite! You can also call ahead to order if you're in a hurry. It's nestled in a spot that might be hard to find. There's plenty of outdoor seating. I had the Roma's club sandwich and their house sauces are so delicious! Adds a creamy and spicy kick to the sandwich. Love their Dutch crunch bread too. Will be back everytime I need a lunch spot :-)“

“Delicious! Amazing tofu kimchi stew, kimchi pancakes and bibimbap. Highly recommend for authentic Korean food beyond Korean bbq.“

“The food was delicious!! we got the bulgogi it was grilled and marinated to perfection! They also gave a pretty generous portion so it felt very worth the price. Also tried the combination soonduboo which was soooo yummy. Definitely worth trying this place out if you’re looking for authentic Korean “

“Peking duck superb. Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Royal lamb on brazier good but not exceptional. Beef in pancakes good but a mistake after so many pancakes with duck. Pea shoots perfect. Food came quickly. Price reasonable — $83 each including 20% tip.“

“Came here for sushi and ended up getting far more than we expected, as everything on the menu was appealing. All of the food we ordered was made fresh with quality ingredients, so much that we could taste the difference in comparison to other similar places. We loved every single dish we got... the lion king roll, three some roll, new england clam chowder croquette, tonkatsu ramen soup, and tuna and hamachi toro (it was all so good, the leftovers were minimal). We also received quick and attentive service, the one employee taking care of all the tables was super friendly and made us feel welcome. The restaurant was clean and inviting, with simple and charming decor and lighting creating a great ambience for date night... or any night! :)“

“Great soul food. Very heart warming and tastyyy! I was excited for the soondubu and I liked their idea of a mixed platter that came with protein, rice, japchae, and salad! Unfortunately, we weren't much of a fan of the fried chicken, it was a bit heavy on the breading. But nonetheless, spacious place with kind and responsive service.“

“One of my favorite places in SF for Boston clam chowder. As for the lobster roll I enjoy the Maine style. There's quite a bit of mayo in the sauce, so it makes it more like a lobster salad sandwich, and the mayo can overpower the lobster.“

“This place is such a sweet little cozy place. Basic interior but really comfortable. We found the food to be very good and very fresh tasting. A sweet little spot on the main strip. Worth checking out truly enjoyed.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“

“This place is located right on Pier 39. Park in the structure rather than the street. Car break-in are high jn this area.Expect to wait in line on weekends. Bread bowl clam chowder was good. Sodas had free refill but not for coffee. Staff were helpful. Limited indoor dining. It's not good for groups. Outdoor dining is also available.Parking: Avoid parking in the streets. Park in the structure to avoid break-ins.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly environment.“

“My husband and I stopped in for sandwiches. Everything there is pre-made which they call Grab and Go. I had the Coronation Chicken and my husband had the Tarragon Chicken. They were delicious and the prices were reasonable. We also had a Southwestern Salad which was good but I thought it could use more corn and black beans. I understand that food costs are really high. They have a few tables to eat in. They also have Take and Bake dinners which I want to try. I think those have to be pre-ordered. We will be back even though it's a bit of a drive for us.“

“The traditional soup on bread is good, but I think just to try it and have the experience... The snacks and pizza are tastier.The most negative point of this unit is the fact that there is no bathroom on site. If you want to use the bathroom, you will have to go to the public bathroom outside the restaurant.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options.“
