    Beyran
    Suat A.

    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

    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
    Kathy X.

    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.

    Delivery

    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.

    This is a two for one because Sumac and Soupchu are part of the Gastro bot, a collection of three restaurants one block east of LaBrea on Wilshire Boulevard. Sumac and Soupchu are both Mediterranean and Turkish restaurants, which really other than a couple tables is for takeout. The friendly server took my order from three different restaurants to choose from. From Sumac I ordered the Babaganoush which was extremely fresh and tasty. I had not had such flavorful Babaganoush since I spent a month driving around Turkey. Merhaba! I also order the Gluten Free Red Lentil Soup. This soup was amazingly tasty and lasted for 3 cups. I hope this place does well because I want to return to try more items from the menu. Parking is tough with the Metro construction but there is a lot out front that is monitored for use only by the patrons.

    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.

    Annie's can take the crown for BEST Soul Food in LA…read more This restaurant is always extremely busy & now I can finally understand why. The level of authenticity can be felt the moment you walk in. Every patron of the restaurant can be seen expressively enjoying their food. When you order a main protein, it comes with your choice of three sides & ofc their famous cornbread muffins. All the food is insanely filling so prepare to take home leftovers. * Beef Links 10/10: A massive, spicy beef sausage on top of a soft & fresh slice of white bread. It can't get any better. It stayed hot throughout my meal & was appreciated so much. That is f***g good. * Cornbread muffins 10/10: DELICIOUSLY served as an appetizer before your meal comes out. Comes fresh & hot with a side of sweet/cinnamon butter. It's perfect. * 8 Pc Wings 10/10: Seriously the best wings I've ever had in my life. Soul food restaurants know exactly how to coat the wings so that they become insanely crispy when fried. That aside, the Hot Honey seasoning was especially flavorful & mouthwatering. *Mac n Cheese 9/10: This is my style Mac. Not too ooey-gooey wet but just a perfect amount of cheese & roux. One point off because it has a smokey taste which just isn't my preference. * Candied Yams 11/10: MY GAWWWD. I'm in heaven. If you like very sweet potato's paired with a perfect buttery cinnamon dressing, then step right up. These are insane. I'm obsessed with that type of thing. *Greens w Turkey 3/10: Was not the biggest fan of this side. The flavor of the turkey overpowered the whole dish. The greens clearly basked with the turkey rather than just being placed together. I couldn't taste the greens, just meat flavoring. * Cabbage 7/10: I love cabbage. This side isn't anything crazy, it's a very simple thing for you to pair with whatever you ordered. Every meal needs one side that rlly holds it down. *Fried Okra 12/10: Seriously, you cannot get soul food without trying fried okra. This is just amazing. Perfectly crispy & delicious.

When we went up to order, the man at the front was super helpful and nice.

The sauce it came with was extremely authentic and felt like home. It was served on top a bed of purple rice. One of us paired it with the cucumber which was perfectly spicy and flavorful. The other paired it with a side of the potato-mac salad that was not too creamy and felt complimented the meat Jun well. -Teri Chicken Plate Lunch 4/5- I loved the flavor of the chicken, but some pieces were a bit drier than what I would have preferred. Also served over purple rice with a side -Spam Musubi 5/5- Served with their signature purple rice, which I have never had before. It was loaded up with rice and spam and lots of flavor. It was a nice reminder of home. - Local Breakfast 4/5- I love Portuguese sausage and my only critique is that there's not enough of it! -Kalbi Short Rib Plate 5/5- Was a special that they had for the day and they still had a few left. Very flavorful and easy to tear off the bone, I loved it. Overall, Broken Mouth satisfied our cravings and exceeded all our expectations! Would definitely go back. Also shout out for the complimentary drinks as it was our first time there, truly appreciated! Would definitely recommend and come back when we're in the area!

This location was the perfect halfway point for all of us. We arrived bright and early around 9:30 AM on a Wednesday. I had called ahead to reserve a booth, my absolute favorite kind of seating. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly hostess and immediately seated. Our server (I unfortunately forgot his name!) was fantastic. He brought out fresh coffee right away, took our breakfast orders, and was extremely kind, polite, and attentive throughout our entire meal. The menu has plenty of options, ranging from scratch-made omelettes and burritos to salads and a dedicated kids' menu. The Breakfast Plate Specials ($12-$14) Both my cousin and aunts ordered this. It came loaded with pancakes, hashbrowns, sausage, and toast--an absolute steal for the price~ Turkey Club Sandwich & Fries: I was in the mood for lunch, so I opted for the club. The fries were hot and perfectly crispy. The sandwich itself was wonderful, packed with turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. My only tiny critique is that I wish it came with mayo (I'm a huge mayo fan!). However, I ordered a side of ranch which paired perfectly and really elevated the sandwich. The vibe here is incredibly laid-back, welcoming, and brightly lit. Everything--including the restrooms--was sparkling clean. They had TVs playing a local soccer game and a nice bar area where it looks like they serve up a great selection of beer and wine for happy hour. I didn't grab an alcoholic drink this time, but I already have my eye on a cranberry mimosa for my next visit! Before you leave, make sure to check out the front counter--they have a massive display of freshly baked cookies, pies, and other goodies~ For the price, the food is absolutely worth it and the service is top-notch.

    If you have a minute, I'd like to share a story:…read more I've been meaning to try this place for years, ever since I read their opening in the LA Times. In the article, they mentioned that they had a sandwhich in homage to Pok Pok, a legendary Thai place in Portland that was famous for their fish sauce chicken wings. Unfortunately, this sandwhich was only offered on the weekday lunch menu, which stymied my efforts to try it. In my mind, what I was expecting was a piece of fried chicken coated in the same sauce that Pok Pok was known for, turned into sandwhich form. The "Bring back pok pok" is not that. Which was a disappointment for all of 10 seconds. While the sandwhich was not what I was expecting, it was still excellent on its own merits. It's a fried chicken sandwhich but instead of lettuce and tomatoes, they've used some sort of dried pepper spread, thai basil (I think) and jalopenos). It reminded me more of a bahn mi. It's a flavor profile that works well. I tried a piece of my friends fried catfish, and it was similarly good. The catish was flaky without being dry, and not only was the breading well seasoned, but it was still crispy at the end of the meal. The only thing a little underwhelming was the cornbread. It wasn't bad, but it didn't feel like it did anything noteworthy, and ours could have used a bit more butter (or maybe some more salt). Our server was great, though it was easy for him since we were the only customers for a long while! Still he was easy to talk to and I appreciated how he kept stopping by to fill up our water (they use tiny glasses). The inside has nice "upscale casual" vibes. If I worked in downtown, I could see myself coming here after work. Overall, a pleasant surprise.
