    I want start off by saying this restaurant is number #12 for Yelp elites in the US for Pho. I was looking for a late night Pho run, however it was an interesting experience. I ordered Horchata because I was in the mood for something sweet and the drink tasted like water. I also ordered the popcorn chicken per the picture, but I feel like I got bait and switched i.e. the photo that was uploaded. It's definitely very Americanized and more of a fusion flare. I also feel like the server forgot we ordered popcorn chicken, so it came out after we finished eating our main order. The pho broth was a little bland, onions, and lime were excluded from the toppings + I would not go there again for the Pho. A few pros were the menu is very aesthetically pleasing it's almost like a picture book and there are big proportion sizes you can share among people!

    Pho Brisket
    Cecile W.

    This place is decent if it's overcast and you don't want to drive 20 min up the 405 or 5/22 to Little Saigon area. The broth is alittle watery but plus side, it's not salty. The brisket is super thin and tender, but not a lot of meat to noodle ratio. I was still pretty hungry and drank more broth for the protein. My friend ordered the pho combo. The menu pic is alittle misleading because it shows the rib bone add-on. It's a spacious interior and you can also eat in the communal patio outside. The condiments are nicely nestled in wooden stands. I wasn't frustrated with my decision to save time and gas and stay in this area for lunch, but mildly regretted it.

    Pho Rib Bones

    If you're coming from a flight, soup shop is always so good. It has big portions, delicious soup, and of course delicious meat. The meat really is the star of the show, I think every time I take a bite out of it for the first time in a while I always get surprised how good it is and start nodding. Particular the Pho Rib Bones!! I highly recommend that one!! Soup is super flavourful too. Definitely one of my go to spots. The restaurant is spacious and clean. Nothing too crazy but I like the design of it. Haven't tried rice dishes but I would love to one day

    Modern Vietnamese restaurant with a great selection and clear, easy to read menu. I rarely highlight a menu, but the pictures (full page high res) were provided for each dish, making our selection easy. The prices were on the higher side, as can be expected for the area (los olivos) and the presentation matched the pictures exactly. The Filet Mignon had a strange cigar smell/taste, but the Rib Bone Pho was exceptional. Stick with the rib eye, oxtail, or rib bone and can't go wrong with their garlic noodles or garlic fries.

    I visited Soup Shop today for lunch and I was very happy with my combination Pho. The restaurant is new and it has a pretty cool vibe. The Staff were really nice and seemed to be very interested in making sure that we had a good meal and enjoyed our food and the experience, questioning the broth spicyness leves, etc. My favorite type of pho is barbecue pork which they didn't have so I probably would not come back, but I really did enjoy the flavors so we shall see!

    Green Thai Tea is soooo delicious. Definitely try it! (they don't do the flower anymore which is a bummer)

    I LOVE Soup Shop! As a content creator (@priyapinkypromise on TikTok) I am always looking for the next big thing in OC! Believe me, Soup Shop is it. Firstly, they have great hours! Open past Midnight in Irvine was unheard of, until now! Second, the beef broth is so flavorful and delicious, it's perfect for every bowl including the veggie pho! Third, the green thai tea.. that's all i'm gonna say (yummmm) Fourthly, they have free refill on noodles!! All in All Service is okay. I have been charged for extra food 2 times, I figure since it's so busy mistakes happen. They are usually prompt with fixing their upcharge. The parking is not great, it is in a packed parking lot. Can take 10 minutes to find a parking spot at times. Come prepared for this. Soup Shop in Irvine offers delicious pho and great operating hours- it's definitely worth a try!

    Garlic Noodle with Filet Mignon, Golden Popcorn Chicken, "Special" Pho Combination, Jasmine Honey Green Tea with Sea Salt Cream
    Lianne L.

    Food was pretty good! Combo pho: 8.5/10 valid, Broth wasn't bad but not as rich as vn or others I've had. Big portion and good amount of meat! We switched out the meatball for brisket. $5 extra for one Beefy rib and it was surprisingly tender and actually did fall off the bone and was easy to eat! Unlike other places which deters us from getting the bone cause we don't like to gnaw and work for the meat lol. Garlic noodles and filet minon: 7.5/10 wasn't bad but we both liked the soup more. I will say tho they have good meat! Not chewy. I've had better at other places so idk if I would get this one again. Out of the dishes this one wasn't hot, the noodles were a little cold unfortunately. Popcorn chicken: 8/10 solid no complaints, chicken wasn't dry and it came hot and sides crispy. Jasmine tea sea salt cream: 7/10, I love jasmine but this one was perfumy filmy sweet.. I usual love this type of drink but it was too sweet, as someone who likes strong sweet drinks. Not bad but I've had better.

    Pho Ribeye
    Iver N.

    Small little restaurant in the same plaza as Whole Foods and Burnt Crumbs. I love their menu. They offer pho, rice dishes, garlic noodles and some appetitizers. It was enough variety to satisfy everyone in our group. The service was quick but the wait can be long. You must be present and sign in on a traditional clip board. We got the ribeye pho and shaky beef. All the beef was tender and the broth was pretty clean/clear. They offer free noodle refills which is nice if you're super hungry. The restaurant has outdoor seating as well but limited heaters. Enjoy!

    I've been wanting to find a place similar to Phoholic or Sup Noodle Bar, and I'm glad to say that they have exceeded my expectations. They are definitely more similar to Sup as they also have other dishes like fried rice or garlic noodles aside from pho. Even better when there's no wait compared to the long lines Sup sometimes has especially on weekends. Came with a friend on a Monday night around 6:30pm and it was only a bit busy so we were immediately seated. Staff were very attentive throughout and made sure we were doing good throughout our meal. I got the rib eye pho while my friend got the brisket pho, you can't really go wrong with either as they are both similar. We also got egg rolls to share as appetizer (there were two pieces so we each had one.) The egg rolls were hot and crispy. I really liked the filling that was in them. The sauce also paired well. The soup was very flavorful and had the right amount of saltiness. The rib eye was tender and portion was generous. I like how they offer free refills of the noodles, but I was only able to finish the bowl that was initially given, but it's definitely nice for those who want to eat a lot of noodles. Overall, Soup Shop is a very solid pho restaurant in the Irvine area! I definitely recommend trying and I will be back to possibly try their other dishes.

    A generous lunch !

    My colleague chose this location to have a lunch meeting and I'm glad he did! A clean restaurant with bright decor and a friendly and attentive staff. Not strictly speaking a Vietnamese restaurant but their main offering is Pho with a spattering of Asian staples like egg rolls, fried chicken pieces among others. There is more to their menu but didn't get a chance to explore. For appetizers we ordered: Egg rolls-2 of the crispiest egg rolls ever Fried chicken pieces: the batter surrounding the chicken some of the crispiest ever pieces ! And delicious! I ordered the combination Pho bowl (without the big bone) I found the broth a little understated and with less depth than other Vietnamese restaurants. The was meat tender and noodles were generous and said to be "refillable "...for us it was a lot of food! more than satisfied with the portion provided. There are other items on the menu that I didn't get a chance to explore, which I count as a plus...as it will give me motivation to come back!

    "Special" Pho Combination *with extra tripe*
    Kathleen Y.

    This was such a great meal after a long day of traveling! Stopped by the Spectrum for some shopping and was gonna eat at a Vietnamese spot there, but couldn't get seated in a timely manner. Then saw the Soup Shop was across the way and open late, so immediately went there after we were done shopping. The restaurant has a bright interior, with simple but aesthetic decor. It's a fairly small on the inside, but there is also outdoor seating available. My husband and I shared the combination pho, which I got with an extra side of tripe, and the popcorn chicken as an appetizer. The popcorn chicken was crispy, flavorful, and juicy. And the combo pho gave us all the protein we needed to recover from our long day of traveling and exploring. The broth was seasoned perfectly, and eaten with extra lime cuz that's how I like it! All of our food was prepared pretty quickly, and we were served any attentive staff. Will keep this place bookmarked for next time!

    Passion Fruit and   Jasmine Milk Tea
    Jared K.

    Soup shop brings a modern twist and ambience to a delicious pho spot. The environment and ambience are fresh and promote a clean, chic restaurant. This food is absolute delicious! I got the pho (free unlimited noodle refills although I think this is location dependent), shaken beef, garlic noodles, passion fruit drink, and jasmine green tea. The pho was perfect. The broth was deeply flavored and no additions were needed. The shaken beef and garlic noodles are tremendous! If you love garlic noodles, give this a try itll give you a run for your money. We also got the shaken beef (filet mignong)to add additional protein (also yum). The jasmine green tea is good, but if you are a passion fruit lover the passion drink is where it is at! Seeds are included for the crunch you love! Overall awesome spot! The servers were also very nice and fast to act. Love it! I will say I went to another Soup Shop and extra noodles were not free like this one so be sure to ask.

    A rainy day sounds like a good day for a hot bowl of soup! My family was out and about after Christmas, when we opted to have lunch at Soup Shop in Irvine. The hostess and wait staff were all very friendly and welcoming. This was a busy place today! The menu is beautiful, with large, full color photographs of all the menu items. The descriptions were also excellent. I ordered the Beef Pho Noodle Soup. The beef bone broth was delicious! The bowl was very generous in size, filled with noodles, vegetables and beef. I also ordered the delicious egg rolls as a starter. The meal and service were very good. This was a nice choice for a meal.

I've…read morevisited the Los Angeles and Irvine locations, and I have a slight preference for the Irvine restaurant. The staff was friendlier, and the restaurant felt cleaner and more inviting. Yuk Dae Jang is best known for their premium bork belly, and I've enjoyed it on a previous visit. So I decided to try something different this time and try the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Rib with flat glass noodles. I also asked that it be made less spicy. It still had plenty of flavor with just the right amount of heat, and the beef was so tender. Staff helped cut the ribs so it's easier to eat. I also ordered their steamed pork dumplings, which was a hit! The dumpling wrapper had the perfect texture - it held all of the flavorful filling together while remaining not too thick. The spicy cold noodles was refreshing, but I may skip this one next time. Definitely the star of the show was the Braised Spicy Premium Beef Rib!

The size portions here are generous and enough to split with others. My favorites were the prime beef bulgogi with glass noodle, brisket spicy cold bibim noodle, and beef short rib sullungtang with glass noods. I'm not really a pork eater but maybe next time, I'll try the bossam. I can really taste the quality of the foods and I like that they keep the ban chans simple. I'd rather have quality than quantity, that's for sure. Pro tip, get the purple rice. Service was great. The food came out pretty quickly and that was good cause we were hungry folks. Also, if you love k-pop, this is the place to eat! They play k-pop videos and music here, especially BTS!

Casual restaurant with a selection of cold dishes displayed up front. Lemon water in pitcher is provided once you get seated. Order via QR code. A standout dish was the pork pancake, which was layered almost like a savory crepe. The exterior was crispy and slightly oily.

The lamb was excellently fatty... tender and soft! I've recently had another hot pot place with lean lamb so this was on point. Portions were generous and the price felt very reasonable. My favorite dish of the meal was the fatty beef with scallions. The beef was indeed fatty and rich flavor, with what I think was a nice subtle Shaoxing wine or cooking wine flavor. The natural sweetness of the onions balanced the savory, salty sauce nicely.

This isn't the place for trendy fusion dishes or flashy presentation; it's all about hearty Korean comfort food that feels especially satisfying on a cold day. My go-to Korean dishes are Yukgaejang and Bossam. The spicy beef soup is usually my benchmark for any Korean restaurant. Tang 190's version delivered everything I look for: a rich, deeply flavored broth with a satisfying level of spice and plenty of tender beef throughout. It's the kind of soup that keeps me coming back. This last visit, I finally got to try their pork and kimchi platter. The pork itself was tender and enjoyable, but I wasn't a fan of the cabbage. Instead of being lightly pickled with salt, it had been fermented to the point where it resembled white kimchi. I've actually never seen it made like this before. I definitely prefer the fresher, crisper flavor profile to pair with the pork and radish, so this preparation didn't quite work. Service was efficient, and the meal arrived quickly. On any other day, it's usually a 5 star visit, but the bossam preparation was a huge miss for me. While prices have crept up over the years, Tang 190 still does what it does best: serving comforting, no-frills Korean food that consistently hits the spot.

My favorite galbi tang spots are in Buena Park, but Tang 190 will definitely scratch the itch when I can't wait since I'm local to Irvine.
