Me and my kids loved this place so much! The food is light, refreshing, and delicious. I was so happy that I didn’t mess my diet plan by eating outside. It’s our favorite restaurant from now on!

I come here for their OXTAIL SOUP! The best one I've tried so far. They are not stingy with oxtail meat, the meat is tender, soft, melts in your mouth 👄 💦 it is sooooo good. The broth is flavorful 👌 All of the dishes and soups are tasty and flavorful. Don't even get me started on their drinks!! My favorite one is the Honey Foam Jasmine Tea 👌

A couple of days ago, after a fun night of bowling, my husband and I were craving something warm and comforting pho or ramen, something soupy and cozy. Since many spots were already closed, we found this place on Yelp called Soup Shop Pho, and we’re so glad we did! When we arrived, the restaurant looked new and modern, and as we walked in, I noticed a good number of people dining inside a great sign! The space had a high-end yet cozy vibe, and it smelled amazing. We were greeted and seated right away, which I appreciated. The menu immediately caught my attention it’s beautifully designed with photos of each dish, which makes ordering so much easier. I went with the Veggie Pho, and my husband ordered the Filet Mignon Pho. They also have a section dedicated to drinks with equally gorgeous photos. Our server recommended the Passionfruit drink, and it did not disappoint! It was refreshing, perfectly sweet, and the little seeds gave it a fun, light crunch. My only note is that I’d ask for less ice next time since there was a bit more ice than drink but otherwise, it was delicious. I can’t wait to try their other drinks next time we visit. Now onto the pho the veggie pho was good and sat

I came across this new spot while walking by and decided to give it a try. The decor is beautifully done warm, inviting, and full of charm. The atmosphere feels lively yet comfortable, and the service is equally impressive friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I ordered the pho with ribeye and brisket and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. The broth is rich and deeply flavorful, the meat tender and juicy, and the portions generous excellent value for the price. The wings were also fantastic, and the fried cauliflower made for a delicious appetizer. I’m genuinely impressed finally, a great pho spot in the area that’s open late until midnight.

We heard a lot of hype about Soup Shop so we had to check it out on a recent couples’ date night sans kids. FYI - this restaurant can be found in a busy plaza anchored by a Whole Foods and located at the corner of Irvine Center Drive and Research Drive, so parking may be scarce during peak hours. Servers were friendly in greeting us and efficient as they were able to seat us quickly without a reservation. The meal started off on a good note with the Sautéed Scallion Corn and Golden Popcorn Chicken appetizers. There was even a hint of spice in the corn app which I appreciated. Between the four of us, we put both dishes away. I had a challenging time deciding on my entree, but I finally settled on the combination pho and added a side of rib bone. It’s been a minute since I had pho, so I really wanted to love it but IMO it was good not great. The meat was not fall off the bone tender and the noodles and broth were not memorable. I’ve had better pho in a few other restaurants nearby but outside of Irvine. Still, it’s always nice to get out and enjoy a nice meal with friends. Soup Shop has done well so far, so I hope they continue their success story in the thriving Irvine food scene.
