Stopped by The Soup Shop and had a great experience! I ordered the pho and the cauliflower, and both were absolutely delicious. The pho had a rich, flavorful broth, and the cauliflower was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The restaurant was busy when I visited, but everything moved quickly and the staff did a great job keeping things organized. The space had a lively, welcoming atmosphere that made it feel like a popular neighborhood spot without feeling overwhelming. It was clean, comfortable, and a great place to enjoy a meal. Overall, the food, service, and ambiance made for a wonderful visit. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu! read more

We were craving pho and needed a spot that was still open after 10 p.m. This location fit the bill perfectly. Since there are multiple locations, we debated between the South Gate and Whittier spots because they're both about the same distance from us in Montebello. For our first visit, I'm really glad we chose this location. The shopping center is huge, so finding parking was easy, even though the area was busy. When we walked in, the restaurant was pretty crowded. All of the booths were occupied, and only a few tables were available, so we waited about five minutes while a staff member cleaned a booth for us. Once seated, we looked over the menu and ordered the egg rolls and garlic truffle fries to start. For our entrées, we chose the ribeye pho and chicken pho. The server was kind enough to offer me a sample of the salted coffee. I had already had coffee earlier in the day, so I didn't order one, but I'm glad I tried it because I'll definitely be getting one next time. Instead, I ordered the cucumber limonade. Overall, we had a great experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and checked on us throughout our meal. The food was delicious, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're looking for a good late-night pho spot. read more

Soup Shop - Pho Shrimp with veggie soup - Vietnamese Near Me - Whittier, California

Soup shop is a great place for late night bites. I went with a friend & our food was really good. The only thing that made this a 4 star is the AC was not working & the service was really slow. Eating pho in the heat is not it:( but we cooled off with some yummy drinks I got a Thai tea & my friend got the limeade both were really good! Will come back but hopefully the AC works & the service is better next time. read more

Soup Shop - Shrimp Garlic Noodles & Pho Combination - Vietnamese Near Me - Whittier, California

Soup Shop has officially landed at #12 on Yelp's Top 50 Spots for Pho across the US and Canada. Without further ado let's begin this review. SOUP SHOP is a modern popular Vietnamese Pho house in Whittier blvd in Whittier. The best part is they remain open late in the night, a rarity for a restaurant in California. I arrived late in the night to grab dinner after attending the annual Yelp Elite Awards Night (I won an award btw). I was elated I found a nearby dinner spot from my location. Also, I was baffled that there were local customers still coming in for a late night dinner. They're that popular in area. Interior layout was spacious, neat and vibrant. Staff were welcoming, affable and assiduous. Their pho menu was compendious that customers will surely appreciate. Atmosphere was vibrant. Service was spot on. I got a Garlic parmesan noodle x chicken and Thai Iced Tea. Food was great as well as the drink. Portions were perfect. They have plenty of parking spot because they are in a massive shopping plaza. Overall, I had a satisfying late night supper. I highly recommend Soup Shop. read more

A trendy soup shop with a lot of classic pho favorites. There's unique pasta and fried rice options as well. If you're wanting a niche pho experience, this is not the place for you. But it's great for a quick pick me up or to introduce someone new to Vietnamese noodle soup. I found the broth was a bit salty, and the meat that my mom got in the chicken pho was tough. It says it's a combination of thigh and breast meat, but it felt more like it was mostly breast. The people working there were really nice and accommodating! read more

Soup Shop - Pho Combination - Vietnamese Near Me - Whittier, California

Stopped by for a quick bite and tried the pho brisket and egg rolls. Overall, it was solid and definitely does the job when you're craving something warm and comforting. The pho broth wasn't the most flavorful I've had, but it was still satisfying and hit the spot, especially for a late-night meal. The brisket was decent and the portion was filling. The egg rolls were okay -- the filling wasn't the best I've tried and I wished the wrapper had a bit more crunch. That said, the biggest plus is that they're open late, which makes this place a reliable option for late-night cravings. Not a destination spot, but in a pinch, it's a solid choice. read more

o9.o5.2o25 We were looking for pho and came across this restaurant in our search. It was a slow and quiet Friday noon. We got seated immediately and the sever brought us the menu. I got the oxtail pho because that's an unusual item. Forgot what my husband got but he also got ribs on the side and a Thai tea. The food was very good, very flavorful. The bowl was huge, so it makes sense for the higher price mark and of course, increase of cost of living. Overall, it was a nice comfy meal. read more

A-m-a-z-i-n-g! My husband and I had a chuckle as we both had a taste and said, "oh wow" at the same time. Pho is SO flavorful. I also ordered their fried bao to share with my husband and they were so SO good. To our surprise our son who typically NEVER finishes the broth, left his bowl empty. We stumbled on this place just by chance seeing it was open late, decided to check it out. Such a good choice. read more

The pho here is very very good ! Big portions and friendly staff. The price is on the higher side. There are multiple ways to customize the pho and tailor it to preference. The parking situation in this shopping center is an issue so plan on driving around at times to get a parking spot. read more

Gave this place four stars because the soup is really tasty but the popcorn chicken was kind of bland and isn't the type of popcorn chicken you would order kids. The service was also decent because they forgot to bring out the popcorn chicken. We also had to ask for the jalapeños and things that go into the soup. I also feel like the booth areas are too spacious where I had to sit on the edge of my bench to get close to the table. At least the booth I was sitting at. Other than that soup I s really good. read more

Had low expectations for pho in this area, but was pleasantly surprised. Now I know Soup Shop is a chain, but it was my first time. It was pho sent from some medium between heaven and earth. I got the chicken breast pho. I enjoyed that it was cut into slices and that the broth's scent was accompanied with star anise. My husband got the pho combination which had some of the smoothest meatballs I've ever had. I also ordered Cajun garlic fries, which were perfect when fresh. It reminded me of how lobster is often seasoned in some dishes. They were just crispy enough in the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. Portions were pretty good. The servers were friendly. The restaurant itself looks clean and fairly spacious, though I just ordered take-out on a Monday evening and it was ready within 10-15 minutes. Would definitely order again when I'm craving pho or those Cajun garlic fries! read more

I have been a loyal customer here for a long time, but unfortunately, my experience tonight makes me not want to come back. I believe there were two new staff members working tonight (a man in a black shirt and a woman in a purple shirt LSU ). They completely ignored customers waiting in line and did not even greet or welcome us. We had to find an available table by ourselves. They seemed to have plenty of time to stand around talking to each other, but not enough time to acknowledge customers, clean used tables, or take orders. We waited for quite a while before anyone helped us, even though neither of them appeared busy. It was frustrating to see them chatting while customers were left waiting. What was even more surprising was that one employee, a lady wearing a blue hoodie, seemed to be handling everything by herself--cleaning tables, welcoming customers, and taking orders. She was efficient, professional, and clearly understood how to provide good customer service. We truly appreciate her hard work. Unfortunately, I don't know her name, but she was the only reason our experience wasn't completely negative. I hope management addresses this issue because customer service should be a priority, especially for loyal customers. read more

Really good food with generous portions that actually leave you full. Everything I tried was packed with flavor, and the meat was incredibly tender and juicy, not dry at all. The pho rib bone is my favorite, comforting, and easily one of the best things on the menu. You can tell a lot of care goes into how the food is prepared. The ambiance is nice and makes it a comfortable place to sit down and eat. The music choice was a little questionable at times, but it wasn't enough to take away from the experience. The fries were honestly immaculate-crispy, well-seasoned, and just really solid overall. If you're hungry and want something flavorful that doesn't disappoint, this spot is worth checking out read more

We came in and the server just looked at us and just pointed at a booth in the back not even a hello or a welcome. We go to sit down and we wait about 10 minutes to have our order taken and once the young lady with the glasses comes to take our order she does not introduce herself just stands and stares at us until we get the hint that she's ready to take our order. Once we finally receive our order half of our order is missing, when we repeatedly asked for our remaining order neither of the staff bothered to bring it and almost seemed like we were annoying them. The server never came back to our section she practically ignored all of us. When we finally asked to pay they brought out the check, slammed it on our table and walked away not even acknowledging us. I enjoy the food here but after one of many bad experiences here I don't plan on coming back. I would be understanding if it was busy but I could just hear them talking and laughing for the most part. It is very disappointing because this use to be my favorite pho. read more

I came here not expecting much, but came out quite impressed. I didn't expect the pho here to be good since it didn't seem like a typical Vietnamese restaurant. I'd say their pho is pretty up there, and I've eaten pho a lot in my lifetime. The Pho Rib Eye came with rib eye slices that were good but also standard. The soup, however, is what I mainly focus on for pho, and it was super rich, flavorful, aromatic, and tasted authentic. The Pho Chicken was also good. It had a similar tasting broth as the Pho Rib Eye except it was infused with a more chicken-y flavor. The chicken breast was not bad, but I usually prefer a more Hainan style kind of chicken for this dish. The Fried Pork Bao also exceeded my expectations. The breading was fried and had a sweet and crunchy exterior. The meat inside was super savory and tasted really good. I wish I ordered two of them instead of just one. The Shrimp Garlic Noodle was ok. The noodles were not al dente and overcooked. It was kind of bland and could have had more garlic flavor. The shrimp was tasty but kind of dry. Overall, the food is here is really good and I highly recommend getting their Pho. The servers here are also friendly and the place had a nice, relaxing ambiance. read more

This pho place is very delicious. The broth was incredible! Rich and slightly sweet. Wow. I liked the way the restaurant was designed with an open and calming style. I do remember being uncomfortable on the bench thought. There's a padding that doesn't extend to the from the bench and I kept feeling like I was sliding off. I was constantly readjusting myself. The menu was beautiful! I wished the drinks looked like the photos though. I ordered a jasmine milk yeah looked pink, in the photo, but when I received it was in a different glass and was white (nothing like the photo!) with that said, I let it slide because the jasmine milk teas was DELICIOUS!!! I ordered the crispy pork bao- oh my gosh. Such delicious flavors and wonderful crispy exterior. Super good. I also had the pho combination with extra tendon. Again, the broth was excellent. They added lots of onion and herbs on top they weren't stingy with the lemon. Most places give you a tiny little wedge and they gave a half lime . Definitely will be returning. read more

Only place to go for pho in Whittier! It's fresh, broth is delicious and the brisket is great quality. I usually get the pho brisket and pho rib bone and take it home. It's more than enough! We share the meats and get the best of both worlds. The service is always great even when they are busy. I've eaten in the restaurant a few times but usually it's to go because of the lack of parking. Casual, family friendly environment. read more

I enjoy the pho. But it's alittle on the sweet side. If you crave for pork bone pho. You can come and eat here. The service was fast, the place is clean. It's just typical pho restaurant. I would try other places to compare. read more

Walking into a clean modern feel. The waiter that sat us and took our order was polite and friendly. The food came out quickly. To much of my surprise the servings were a generous and flavorful. It is not good for larger parties and the parking is horrible even though it's in a shopping center. A very busy on in that fact. But, if you can find parking great place for a quick meal. read more

I love pho and this is one of my go to spots for it. They load their bows with a lot of noodles, meat choice, onions, and scallions. The service is good, all the servers are attentive and walking around consistently so if you need anything it's really easy to call someone over. The pho ribeye and the cauliflower app is what we usually get when we come here. The fries and egg rolls are also delicious. read more

Soup Shop - Brisket pho - Vietnamese Near Me - Whittier, California

Soup Shop was one of the few pho restaurants open in the late evening, so I decided to take my family here. They offer plenty of options for pho and other traditional Vietnamese dishes. I was impressed at how my order was served in less than 10 minutes! I ordered the shrimp pho with veggie broth, which tasted so fresh. The shrimp portion was generous and were bigger than the average shrimps in pho shops. I was a little nervous to taste the broth since veggie broth can be easily made bland, but there was a good amount of seasoning that it was a tasty broth. I will definitely visit Soup Shop in the future! This place is perfect to enjoy a comforting bowl of pho on a rainy SoCal day. read more

Soup Shop - Pho Shrimp with veggie broth - Vietnamese Near Me - Whittier, California

10pm Saturday Jan 17th, moderately busy, I was a single patron, I walked out after 10 min of not being acknowledged by the hostess. A simple " I will be with you shortly." or. " it'll be a few minutes before I can help you." Would have sufficed. Instead, she look like she was rolling her eyes and ignoring me standing there. Seriously need to work on the customer service aspect. Bummer read more

We ordered the pho rib bones and wings. The pho rib bones had a clean broth flavor, not so much like what you get from other Pho restaurants. The rib bones was okay kinda tough not fall off the bones meat. The chicken wings were good with the habanero sauce. Condiments are decent. Service was good. Location was alright, hard to find parking due to competing restaurants and grocery markets around the area. read more

We got the pho combo and it was very good! Definitely lots of meats. The noodles were great too and lots of garnishes of bean sprouts, greens, and onions.Very good portion. And I thought it was very smart to have the utensils under the table. Save space on the table haha. Good service too, they checked on us and took away our finished bowls and didn't rush us. Very nice. read more

What a waste of my time. As soon as you walk in there is a sign that says please wait to be seating. So I waited. The girl behind the counter seen me and pointed to two tables. Assuming she was telling me I could sit wherever, I chose a seat. Thought it was a little rude that she didn't come over to seat me properly. No big deal. Sat down and watched the two servers go back and forth past me. I sat there without a menu, a drink, not even a hello. Needless to say, I got up and left. I've been wanted to try this place, disappointing. read more

Love this place, my favorite thus far around the area. It's a must try and good customer service.

I ordered the garlic noodles with fried chicken didn't match the picture on the menu at all. Didn't taste any garlic on the noodles. It was very dry. The chicken was over fried. No flavor will not be recommending this place and your store name is deceiving. I was expecting soups and I just got one type of pho... boring! read more

Oh maaaaannnn idk but the pho we got smelled like feet and tasted like garbage water ugh.... This place is officially on my never going back list.

Whittier definitely needed a good Pho restaurant. Thankfully Soup Spot opened up! The Beef Rib Pho is delicious. The wife always gets the veggie tofu one and we have been back twice in the same week. The egg rolls are delicious and the Cajun fries are super crispy and delicious. Absolutely love this place. I've only ordered to go, however the staff is always super friendly and the inside is super clean and modern. If you're looking for Pho in Whittier.. definitely come here! read more

The restaurant is open later than most of the pho shops. Their food was great and quickly served

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. I was there for 20 minutes and no one even came to take my order. I understand that it was busy, but during that time, another couple walked in after me and their order was taken before mine. I've been to many soup shops and have never experienced service like this. I completely understand being busy, but customers should still be acknowledged and served in the order they arrive. Very disappointing experience. read more

Went to the Cerritos location twice and it was pretty good. The Whittier location is totally different. It wasn't busy when my party of 5 went although parking was a challenge. Location was clean. Servers were nice, but inattentive. We needed to call them over to take our order and then again for the check. Soup for the pho was totally different from Cerritos. Really salty and I couldn't taste the herbs. The broth was also just a deep dark brown versus clear.. read more

so good i also got truffle fries , sea salt latte , and a thai tea , the service was fast but the seating is kind of weird .

I'll definitely be there again soon! Great pho nice spot for late night dinner , with or without company :) read more
