Suggestions for Soup Spot near Los Angeles

Enrique B. • September 22, 2017The place is packed. At dinner time you have to wait 15 min to get a seat. The food is totally worth it. Get the shrimp spring rolls! The noodle plates are delicious.

Connie C. • October 8, 2016Tonkotsu ramen with added egg and char siu. Love the thin noodle texture and broth (rich but not too heavy).

Joshua V. • June 24, 2016Joshua Van Dyk thinks this is the best salad place in Santa Monica. The food is fantastic. I have been there several times and love it. The line can get a bit long but moves fast. 2 thumbs up!

Opportunity Green • September 18, 2011Perfect for those with a discriminating palate & a soft spot for sustainability. This LA treasure will satisfy cravings for yummy healthy food & won't break the bank. Karen's fave : The Happy Vegan :)

Steph • November 12, 2013Get the pork belly banh mi! Don't forget to check out the side bar and try out the curry couscous and beets quinoa salad.

kim h. • September 21, 2011i hesitate to share, in case they run out when i go...but she makes amazing soups and pastries. love, love, love amelia, ralph, and gianni. they always make me feel at home.

Serious Eats • August 25, 2011Get the Clementine Breakfast Sandwich - buttermilk biscuit, with a perfect balance of flaky, buttery interior and crisp, savory top, with a poached egg, melty cheddar cheese, and Tennessee ham

Danny L. • November 3, 2011I pretty much love everything. Try the ckn bisque or miso beef on a chilly day. They make this ckn/grape/ almond/squash salad that's awesome. The mini cupcakes are perfect. The watermelon lemonade +++

Go Find Alice • May 28, 2015Healthy proteins and veggies here. Make your own plate of sides with rotisserie chicken or make your own salad. Perfect for a post workout meal spot :)

sandra s. • May 1, 2014Working my way thru the menu, so far amazing- quality ingredients, innovative twists on classics... All good!!

Eater • May 9, 2016The vibe is wonderful: expansive and vibrant without being too formal, it's the kind of place you can drop in for a cocktail and raw seafood at the bar, or a long sit-down dinner with friends.

Eater • May 9, 2016Simply put, this is the most intense ramen LA has ever seen. The tsukemen is a great choice for starters while the regular ramen bowl packs are garlicky punch.

Dan K. • August 21, 2013My favorite ramen place finally opens up on the west side. Ramen is not the only good thing on the menu. Check out the takoyaki and cutlet rice bowls!

Tiffany P. • April 22, 2014Press fresh garlic into your ramen. Makes it even MORE awesome. The red, bold, and soul ramens are all excellent.

Nicole L. • August 6, 2014Weiwuer lamb is delish, the sprinroll's are a super bang for the buck and I am a huge fried rice fan (want a huuuge egg omelet on top, make it a chairman style).

Nora • May 7, 2018THE best and most amazing bagels we've had.. sooo yummy

Eater • January 23, 2018This ramen shop is the best place for Japanese noodles on the Westside. Amp up the flavor with a spice bomb. For something less heavy, opt for the Chuka Soba, a Tokyo-style bowl with a lighter broth.

Vic Z. • January 7, 2018Everything was really good. Loved the boiled dumplings - pork and fennel. Also try the eggplant and noodle dishes.

Sara B. • April 26, 2013Great deli-style sandwiches,, veg-friendly deli food (couscous salad, roasted carrots) and braised meats, all with California flavor (Asian + Latin meets New American). A dozen flavors of lemonade.

Simple F. • October 13, 2013Tsukemen is the way to go.

Connie C. • November 9, 2019One of new favorite spots. Immensely delicious and humble. The sashimi is amazingly buttery. The hot soba is perfect, especially the sansai. Feels like home here.

Miki R. • May 30, 2012Family owned spot with excellent service, especially if you sit at the bar! Ask for the vegetarian "fish sauce" as an alternative.

Jeffrey G. • August 11, 2017Amazing bakery restaurant with outdoor garden. People watching in Venice, supposed to be daytime celeb spot. Chicken banh mi yum. Smoked fish looked incredible. And the fries (from the next table)

Lilia • October 29, 2012Hot Udon and soba both very good. Simple and tasty.

Stephanie A. • May 13, 2011The would mushroom soup is to die for... a must have for any mushroom lovers!

Sam L. • September 1, 2021I enjoy their chicken ramen selections. Spicy tan tan ramen and spicy black ramen are delicious! Sushi is good as well, especially for the price. Highly recommend giving Onkei a try if in Westwood!
