Soup Shop

The inspiration

Founded in 2019, it set out to bring the flavors of Vietnam to Southern California by blending family recipes with fresh, modern touches¹ .

Who's behind it

The restaurant describes itself as chef-driven, and its own site says the team puts a passion for food ahead of business² . No individual owner, founder or chef is named in the sources we hold, so the people behind Soup Shop are presented only as that chef-driven group² .

• Filet mignon or ribeye pho: richer broths with quality cuts of meat .¹
• Crunchy Pork Bao: a shareable bite alongside the noodle bowls .²
• Soup Shop Wings, including a mango habanero version: an appetizer on the popular plates list .²
