    They have to upgrade their hygene. No gloves, serving bread with bear hands. They need a manager to take care of the place.

    Chicken Bone Broth Soup - comes with bread
    Brian V.

    This place, located in a tiny lot/strip mall, specializes in soup. The soup I ordered tasted like it was made from scratch. It had really delicious fresh ingredients. The service was very friendly and helpful. I think the spot is more conducive to more takeout though as there's only limited seating inside and out. I bookmarked this spot a while back because I came across and thought to myself that there's not a lot of places that specializes in different types of soup (my frame of reference is the soup nazi from the Seinfeld episode - lots of places that serve soup in the area but not specializes in different types like this spot). I was feeling a little under the weather at the time, so I thought grabbing soup would be a great idea. I ordered the chicken bone broth soup and it was exactly what I needed. I like that I had a little bit of tartness to it as well, as I like to squeeze lemon into my chicken soup personally. Definitely would love to come back and try more of their delicious soups. Parking at this location is a little tight. But I think I've came during a time it wasn't that busy and got lucky.

    Beyran

    Nice cozy spot, not designed for fine dining but they have some tables inside and outside if you want to eat there. I tried Beyran, a traditional Anatolian (Antep) soup and it was fine. Parking is a problem. Also look for the store name "Gas robot Eats" instead of Soupchu. All meats in the menu are halal, noted inside the store's posted menu. Aside from soups they have a variety of burgers and kebabs as well as traditional Turkish meals such as "Hünkar Beğendi".

    Lentil soup and fresh hummus, and pita bread
    Marcel R.

    I love the collard green soup and my favorite is the red lentil soup.. Plus, the hummus is so freaking good. Paired with the soft fresh pita bread. After that, definitely have some banana pudding.

    Chicken Bone Broth Soup

    I ordered through DoorDash so my experience might be different than if you ordered directly through them. I ordered the Bone Broth Chicken soup and it was pretty good. It's pretty herby and tastes homey. I have a cold right now and I felt pretty good immediately after having the soup! I will say it's a bit pricy, I think I paid $10.50 for a bowl of soup, that didn't have too much chicken in it, and it came with a small slice of bread. I added extra bread for $2.50 and it was really just 1 more slice of bread (cut into 2 pieces). Again, DoorDash typically inflates pricing, but I did feel like it was a bit expensive for what it was.

    I googled soup options last winter when I had a bad cold & found https://www.soupchu.com. I've been back many times to get incredible comfort food here. The wraps & protein bowls are as amazing as the soup. Everything they make is bursting with flavor. The owner is often on-site making food or serving customers. He is kind, welcoming & eager to introduce you to healthy options. They are organized & everything is fresh. So, things are done fast & take out is a breeze. Everything about this joint is addictive in a positive way. Best of all the flavors are authentic. I bring home the wraps & salads when I have guest & want to serve unique food that pleases everyone.

    Delivery
    Kim H.

    Dang, this place is delicious! Got the chicken soup and devoured it, even though it's literally 80 degrees in my house right now. I wanted to give the place a try because I love a good soup and there aren't many soup places in LA. I also think it was quite a lot of food for the price. $10.50 for any meal amount of food from a nice restaurant in LA is kind of unheard of. I also got the Sultan's Delight which I ordered for someone else. Tried a sample and it's also delicious! So happy they've opened up! I ordered delivery and I really appreciate the compostable, bamboo based containers they came in.

    Visited Hangari on Saturday evening to try their renown Kalguksu with some friends. I've known that…read morespecific parking lot/strip mall to be a nightmare parking wise, so I bit the bullet and used the on-site valet. There is sometimes street parking but the availability is rough, it's tough to park, and even one of the meters we ended up at just didn't work. They only charge a $5 cash service charge though, which isn't bad. We were lucky to be seated right away, even in a packed restaurant. The restaurant has a surprisingly modern design, and is comfortable for as small as it is. We were quickly served their signature kimchis and barley rice. The kimchi, particularly the yeolmu (young summer radish) kimchi, has a unique flavor profile well suited to their food. We ordered 2 bowls of their plain kalgooksu, 1 bibim milmyun, and 1 tteokbokki. The food came out fairly quickly. The kalgooksu was as expected the star of the show. The anchovy broth brings a savory complexity that seems impossible for a soup made from just dried fish and a few other ingredients. It even has a rich, almost thick, quality to it that is surprising for a fish broth. Their noodles, the titular kalgooksu, have the signature irregularity and chew of knife cut noodles. I appreciate the vegetables that always come in kalgooksu, like potato, pumpkin, and zucchini, which offer an earthy heartiness to the light soup. My only complaint is that the potato is in huge irregular chunks, and is barely cooked, though I feel like I have had this issue with many of the kalgooksu bowls I've had over the years. The bibim milmyun was solid. I think that I prefer the texture and flavor of naengmyeon buckwheat noodles, but the milmyun, which are made with mostly wheat flour, still provide a satisfying chew. The sauce tasted bright and fresh, especially with a splash of added vinegar. It also came with a small side portion of spicy pork and some rice paper to wrap. The tteokbokki was the one let down of the meal. To be fair, I wasn't expecting much out of tteokbokki at all restaurant like this whose specialty is essentially the opposite. I ordered the tteokbokki as a "safe pick" for a picky eater in the group. It turned out to be a bit mediocre in our opinion, and that friend ended up enjoying their kalgooksu anyways. If you're looking to try this dish, it's definitely one of if not the best I've had in Southern California, so I'd totally recommend it. I'll also warn to steer clear of the Garden Grove restaurant of the same name and specialty. I think it's a disappointing mimicry of this place.

The wife found this place from a tiktok video…read moreand we decided to try it since we didn't get to try a lot of Taiwanese food on our trip to Taipei. When you come in, there is a sign that tells you to order before being seated. My sister and her bf had yet to arrive so I placed a sizeable order for the 4 of us. Luckily, they were there (waiting in the car) so I told them to walk over so we can be seated. I ordered 2 orders of chiayi chicken (1with white rice and 1 with brown rice), 2 orders of thousand layer pancake (1 with egg and 1 with egg and cheese), shrimp wonton, dance dan noodles, wonton noodle soup, hakka mochi and forbidden rice pudding. For drinks we had a few of the shaken iced green teas and 1 taro milk tea (my sister said it didnt taste like taro) Everything was great. I was surprised my sister's bf liked the food. The chiayi chicken was good with a bit of the chili sauce (sambal). The thousand layer pancake was good if you dip it in the black vinegar (mixed with chili oil and a little soy sauce). The shrimp wonton were surprisingly light and tasty. The dan dan noodles was balanced my medium thin sliced cucumber. Everything was portioned very small so you can try everything.we didnt get additional sides because were getting full. The desserts was what I was looking forward to and it did not disappoint. The hakka mochi reminded me of the soy pudding stalls in singapore that had mochi balls filled with a black sesame paste and peanut paste inside. This is what the hakka mochi was but in dry soft chewy form with black sesame and peanut grains to top it off. For my sister, it reminded her of the filipino dessert pichi pichi. The forbidden rice pudding reminded me of a soupy version of the filipino dessert biko. It had chunks of sweet potatoes and tapioca. Also very good but my bias is the hakka mochi. The ambiance was bright, bustling and inviting. Very small tables perfect for a quick bite. Highly recommend if you want a tapas style lunch that doesn't break the bank.

It's been sitting on my saved list for a while, and honestly, this turned out to be the perfect opportunity. The space itself is bright, clean, and welcoming with warm woody tones throughout. Casual setup where you order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. I had already looked through the menu beforehand, so the real challenge was narrowing down what to order for one person. I failed at that... and I'm very happy I did. Started with the Pig Ear Salad 滷豬耳朵. Braised thin sliced pig ears dressed with soy sauce, chili oil, sesame oil, scallion, and cilantro. OMG. So good. Tender, flavorful, perfectly braised, with that satisfying chewy texture done right. Also got the Fried Peanut Salad 五味花生 with garlic, cilantro, scallions, vinegar, and Thai chili. Super crunchy, bright, refreshing, and honestly addicting. I added a cup of the Hot & Sour Soup 酸辣湯 too. Organic tofu, beech mushroom, carrot, bamboo, woodear mushroom, and egg. Super comforting with a really balanced tang and peppery heat. Not overly thick or heavy like a lot of Americanized versions can be. Exactly the kind of soup you want during a long travel day. For noodles, I ordered the Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵. Sesame-peanut sauce, cucumber, cilantro, crushed peanuts. Delicious on its own already, but I ended up adding some of the fried peanuts from the salad into the noodles and it became even better. Then the Three Cup Chicken 三杯雞 with sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine, and Thai basil. I do wish it had a little more wok hei, but overall the flavor was still really comforting and savory. Extremely good with rice. Had a glass of Gewürztraminer alongside everything, which paired surprisingly well with the spice and aromatics. Their wine list leans more organic / natural wine focused, which felt very LA in a good way. Ended up sitting at a high top next to one of the managers and had a great conversation throughout the meal. She ended up hooking me up with the Traditional Shaved Ice 傳統刨冰 with grass jelly, red bean, boba, sweet potato balls, taro balls, brown sugar syrup, and condensed milk. I was already planning to order it anyway, and wow... I finished the entire thing. The brown sugar syrup was incredibly fragrant. Packed the leftovers to-go, and that ended up becoming my dinner after landing in San Francisco later that evening. Flight cancellation somehow turned into a really great food day.

FOOD I came with a large group so we ordered a good number of dishes. All the dishes were delicious, flavorful and above and beyond for what I find it to be more a fusion-Asian restaurant. I particularly liked their brown sugar milk team as it comes with boba and grass jelly. And their mochi was SO delicious. This would be a place my parents would enjoy a lot. PARKING It's in downtown LA so parking can be tough. There are plenty of paid parking structures nearby. WOULD I COME BACK? YES!

Food (8/10) - The broth itself was absolutely packed with flavor (even with no additions). It had a super clean flavor but had deep umami notes from the chicken.
