The Most Flavorful Soup in Virginia Beach

Walter's Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (10) • $

"I ate lunch here about 3 weeks ago and had a club sandwich. What a delicious combination of chicken salad on the club sandwich. Yummy. I live in Chowan County and when I am near Chowan University I eat at Walter's. The place is clean and the food is always fresh. The staff is friendly too. Just a nice experience for lunch."

Pho 79

★★★★☆ 3.9 (360) • $$

"Sophia and I decided to stay in the Peninsula this Saturday due to weather. It has been years since we ate here so it was time to have some lunch and catch up.We were able to get a booth upon walking in. The crowd was semi-busy which is a good thing. TVs were showing NCAA tournament games and music filled the speakers. One thing we noticed is prices have gone slightly up. Inflation perhaps. Nonetheless, we were hungry and just went with the main course. I selected a large portion of Pho Tai Nam, which consists of round steak and beef brisket. This was pretty good and filled me up, which is the norm every time I order Pho dishes. And as usual, I added some chili oil for spices. Everything was pretty good and tasted well, leaving yours truly with a full stomach.The only true knock I have on the visit is lack of service. We were served with our meals fine, but after we got our bowls they didn't come back to check in on us or see if we needed any refills of water. There were two servers and they were quite busy so that may explain it. Other than the mishap, our visit was fine. We'll definitely be back for another go around. Till next time :)"

"Best art gallery on OBX. Delicious drinks too! The artist working there are very nice!"

Carrot Tree Kitchens

★★★★☆ 4 (74) • $$

"My boys and I had visited the original Carrot Tree back in 2012, so it was really fun to take some other family to eat lunch here. They've moved into another building, but they've got the same folks working and same menu. Our lunch was just as good as it was 10 years ago- hearty sandwiches, delicious salads and terrific desserts. The carrot cake was as good as my mom's & hers is really good. Definitely a lovely lunch spot in Yorktown!"

"highly anticipated the opening. followed the construction closely. food and service are wonderful. no start-up glitches. all went smoothly. great outdoor dining area too."

Monsoon Eclectic Modern Indian

★★★★☆ 4.1 (510) • $$

"My first time having INDIAN FOOD and what an introduction it was. The restaurant decor was very modern. An the ambiance wS amazing! We weren't sitting on top of another couple. Beautiful intimate setting. The food was sooooo good! EXCELLENT! I can't wait to go back!!"

Tuk Tuk Thai

★★★★★ 4.7 (18)

"Yall! 5 stars doesn't go out easily for me but this place is a gem! It is fancy, no. In fact you may drive right past the place if you wernt looking for it. But it's one of those hidden gem spots with absolutely incredible food. We got the Chicken Satay appetizer. The peanut sauce that came with it was on point! We got 3 items to share, Red Chicken Curry, Coconut chicken soup and Drunken Noodles. Legit all three were so friggen good! The depth of flavors is on point. My husband asked for his to be Thai hot and it wasn't but they never really believe he means it. It likes it to be hotter than Thai hot. He puts Thai peppers on every meal, I am not joking. So luckily they give you the spice rack you can spice it up yourself. The Chili oil is so freaking good and has fried garlic crunch in it! Literally everything was wonderful. The server was so sweet. The owners daughter I'm guessing even came to take our drink order and actually gave my husband tips on her favorite items. We have added this place to our list favorites in NC!!!"

First Wok

★★★☆☆ 3 (26) • $

"Come here for the good food (takeout). Don't come here for the decor, don't come here for the ambiance, dont' come here to socialize. Because there's none of that. Only good food with fast polite service. There is some seating inside if you want to "dine in". But I've never seen anyone eating in over the number of years I've been a patron. Besides, it's nothing to look at. Guest area needs lots of work. Just place your take out Chinese order, be on your way and enjoy!"

Saladworks

★★★★☆ 4.1 (8)

"Enjoy coming here for a quick lunch. I often get the pick 2 : chicken Caesar salad and soup. I either get the lobster bisque or broccoli cheddar soup and are always delicious! I've had ordered the she-crab soup one time and was somewhat disappointed. I was not expecting it to be a manhattan style base not cream-based like what I'm used to. Staff were always welcoming and friendly. I like that there were plenty of seats if you want to dine in. The place is spacious and clean. If you ordered a fountain drink, then it's nice to help yourself to a refill if you want to before you go! I would highly recommend this place."

Kevin's Dog House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (7)

"The best ever! Friendly, and always on point. The all the way beef dogs are exceptional! I have eaten there for years and always leave happy and full!"

The Stockpot Norfolk

★★★★☆ 4.3 (297) • $$

"Extremely friendly service, quaint andCozy establishment in the heart of downtown Norfolk. Everything is made to order and the quality of freshness was top notch, definitely recommend!"

"Last night I drove around to find a close Chinese dive. I ordered wings an egg roll and GeneralTso chicken the place was clean the staff was nice and myOrder was prepared quickly.everything tasted sooooo good.I'll be back soon for egg foo yung"

Doug's Hot Dogs

★★★★☆ 3.8 (74) • $

"I love this place. Period. If you want some good comfort food, just go here. Who hasn't eaten a ton of hot dogs in there life? With this hot dog eating experience, I think the majority of foodies are hot dog experts. I certainly am. They just have really good hot dogs here that I typically order in a three or four pack set. With a variety of options on the menu, I stick to two: the chili cheese dog and the Chicago dog. The chili cheese dog tastes the way it should for me, which is yummy. The Chicago dog is pretty much the same dog I would eat in Chicago do again, yummy. Add a few more of these dogs and my yummy meter is where it should be. The Ladies who work here are as nice as can be. Prices can't get much cheaper and the food is ready to go pretty quick. What's not to love?Well done."

Saladworks

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (43)

"The salads and soups here are so good! I like going here if I need a quick lunch. There are so many options for soups , that change daily. My fave is their vegan chili. Their salads come in a big portion and you can customize it with a lot of good options for toppings and dressings. They also have a pick two option if you want both a salad and soup."

Oishi Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (202) • $$

"Oishi was a great place to grab lunch! They had a wide variety of lunch specials at an affordable price, which made it the perfect spot for a lunch date with my boyfriend. I really enjoyed my Pork Katsu Box. It included Half California Roll, House Salad, Miso Soup, and Vegetable Spring Roll in addition to the Katsu. Took off a star because there was a bug in our soy sauce and the smell had a slightly stronger fishy smell than other sushi restaurants, but overall the food and service was great :)"

Kalabash cuisine

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"The food is out of this world. Portions are large. The owner was wonderful. Very welcoming. This is take out only. Check out the lunch specials for $8.99."

China Chef

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (34) • $$

"I've ordered from here a few times and every time the food has been good. I always get sweet and sour chicken and a veggie spring roll. This last time I tried the vegetable friend rice and it was delicious. You can order easily online, which I like, and they have a ton of options. The only con is the delivery time...it always takes about an hour."

Sage Kitchen at Anderson's Virginia Beach

★★★★☆ 3.7 (309) • $$

"Sage Kitchen is a perfect place to eat, especially if you have a little one who doesn't like to sit still lol! My husband and I were able to eat and relax as our little one played at the playground outside. We sat outside, next to the playground which was perfect to keep an eye as our son was playing. Definitely one of my favorite to go restaurants especially if you have kids!"

GuangDong Taste

★★★★☆ 4.2 (446) • $$

"2 words: Family. Style. Ahhh and the soup dumplings!!! I enjoyed that and the egg drop soup immensely. The chow fun was my main pick with beef to which the noodles were a joy to the senses. I sampled a lil' bit of everything from calamari, peking duck + soft bunz, and a type of breaded fish that was a major win on the tastebuds. They were wildly busy on a Friday night with to-go orders, cooking, big groups.. the staff did the best they could to accommodate everyone so noted on their efforts."

Ruyi Express

★★★★☆ 4.1 (40) • $

"We had our food delivered. It was cold but that was on the driver, not the restaurant. The Lo Mein dinner and crab Rangoon were good. Nice portion sizes. The chicken wings had flavor and nice and crispy. I do not recommend the egg rolls at all. The pork inside was gray and they smelled funny. The brown sauce also had a sweet strange flavor. Would not order those two again, otherwise the food was good!"

The Stockpot Chesapeake

★★★★★ 4.7 (29)

"Happy grand opening, Stockpot Chesapeake! Despite being busy, each person working was attentive and accommodating. All the tables were full when we arrived, but we were able to get a booth in a few minutes. We also were able to fit our husbands in an hour later, when they decided to join us.The food: always on point. OG rice was fresh, rice was cooked nicely, and their kimchi was full of flavor. I had never had a Turkish breakfast, but each component was great. Tzatziki sauce had some kick! Hubs had the Southender and he said he enjoyed it. Rob, the FOH manager, was really welcoming despite being very busy on a Sunday morning AND being grand opening weekend. Cannot wait to return for ramen, trivia, wine dinners - I'll be a fixture here, for sure!"

Stella's Cafe

★★★★☆ 4 (51) • $

"There are not a lot of Sunday morning dining choices in this part of the state so we were very glad to have found good reviews on Yelp during our way out of Edenton, NC. Plymouth was just about 30 mins out on our way home. This is a small diner mixed with a gifty sort of antique style shop in downtown Plymouth, NC.The drinking cups were so cute. The bacon was perfect. The home fries (potatoes) were really good and the strawberry preserves were amazing! We even bought some preserves and apple butter to take home.Overall, we had a good experience! We'd go back if we are ever in that area again."

Chen's Asian Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (27) • $

"This unassuming building has been home to several different restaurants in the 16 years we've been driving by. Most have been okay. Chen's is pretty good!The staff are friendly and courteous, and just walking in, the place smells delicious. Darling Bride got the King Pao chicken combo, and I got the Chicken with Schezuan sauce. Combos come with pork fried rice, and choice of a pork egg roll or soup. We opted for egg rolls AND soups, for an upcharge. My hot and sour soup was excellent- the broth had the perfect texture, that sort of thick, almost slippery, not quite gelid mouthfeel. You know what I mean. Lots of places screw that up, but not these guys. My Bride was pleased with her wonton soup- the broth wasn't salty, and the wontons were good.The egg rolls were expertly fried- piping hot and crisp, with fluffy cabbage and warm pork bits. Not at all greasy. I would have preferred hot mustard, but the duck sauce was good.My chicken was delicious; the vegetables were fresh and cooked well, and the meat was nice and tender. Darling Bride's Kung Pao was excellent, with lots of red and green peppers. The hot tea we got was good, even though it came as a bag in a cup, instead of in a pot. The server was quick to refresh it.The total for two combos, two soups, and tea for two was $24 including the tax, but before tip. We will certainly be back again!"

Aroi Thai Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.5 (55) • $$

"This is our new favorite Thai restaurant on the Peninsula! We usually get takeout but have dined in once. Service is always prompt and friendly. Highlights on the menu are the flavorful Tom yum soup, the pad Thai, and the green curry, which is excellent. I recently tried the khaki soi which is a rich yellow curry soup with egg noodles. It was delicious, and I look forward to ordering it again! Most of the Thai items we've tried are worth reordering. The exception was the Aroi platter--while the green papaya salad was good, the beef was very tough and gristly, so would not order that item again. Similarly, the "Asian" items are underwhelming. The shrimp shumai tasted like a reheated frozen item, and the wonton soup was average.We'll definitely be back, and there remain a number of Thai dishes on the large menu which I look forward to trying."

Peking City

★★★★☆ 3.5 (42) • $

"I pulled in this evening on a whim because our usual "go -to," take-out place one strip-lot over was closed on Mondays. I had completely spaced on that fact, and after searching for 4th grade art project supplies?! I was DONE, SON! So- HRH#2(little son) of course could not have new Lo Mein cross his lips or dare to try anything, ... so I stuck with my guns and got that for Daddy and myself- we can eat cardboard, that's how we fell in love. I got little one McDonald's while I waited for carry out. OhMYGAWD!! This food was beyond delicious. The meat on the "beef on a stick was sooooo tender, and the Lo Mein was, I kid you not, SUPERB!" It was so nice to go home, ex-freaking-xhausted and just slide that msgdeliciousness urrrly goodness right into mah BELLY! Sorry, I mean, it was so nice to honestly serve a meal that felt like you were eating in a Washington DC Linen Napkin, refill your water every 2 minutes restaurant. Superb. Sorry Previous guys, I don't know if it's Virginia but.. call me Mrs. Jefferson.... We're movin on UP! You all won't regret it! And it's less expensive!"

Hong Kong

★★★☆☆ 3 (27) • $

"First time ordering take out from here. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it went. We ordered for delivery and it didn't take long for us to get our order. Our food was done right and no mishaps either. My only complaint is that the crab rangoon needs a bit more filling and that's all!"

Aticha Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (326) • $$

"If you're looking for a good Thai restaurant in Williamsburg with excellent food, white table cloths, and a relaxed atmosphere, Aticha is the place to go. Aticha has a good size and well curated menu that offers traditional dishes with many choices as well as some specialty entrees. You can request spice to the level of your liking. Portions are of a good size, and many of guests took home some of their good. We enjoyed ours so much and weren't rushed to leave, so we finished every bite!During this visit, we enjoyed the steamed dumplings appetizer, which comes with four delicate and flavorful dumplings and their house soy with garlic sauce. We also enjoyed the fried rice with chicken. We added extra vegetables for $3 because we love vegetables. We also had the Red Curry with Pork and the Chicken Garlic Carrots and Broccoli dishes. All were excellent. For beverages, we each enjoyed a glass of wine. The Dashwood Sauvignon Blanc was especially refreshing. We finished dinner with the Mango and Rice dessert, which we did get to go. It was beautifully prepared and very tasty!Prices were higher than less formal Thai restaurants, and we felt the meal and dining experience were worth the extra cost. The servers are friendly and kind. They want to ensure you have a good experience, and they delivered!"

Golden China

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (44) • $

"Delicious!!!!! Wanted to get something quick for dinner and wow were we happy! Fresh and tasty!"

Heritage House Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (21) • $

"Southern comfort food and a step back in time.Just a good old small town restaurant, bar with a decent buffet. Reasonable pricing decent portion sizes if you're ordering off the menu and the buffet seem to be well-stocked With some good old traditional southern comfort food how could you go wrong.My wife wanted the buffet she found pigs feet and she was in hog heaven.I ordered off the menu or a steak and shrimp dish it was OK.Service was good love the decor, definite must stop if you find yourself in Windsor looking for a meal."

Pho 83

★★★★☆ 4.3 (262) • $$

"The best specialty banh mi I've ever had! Quality meats, they did not skimp at all. The pork belly was tender and the pate was phenomenal. The bread was slightly crispy in the outside and soft on the inside. I have zero complaints. This will be my go to spot from now!"

Si Senor Mexican Restaurant 2

★★★★☆ 3.8 (9)

"My mom and I decided to try this place for something different and new. The chips that we got once we sat down weren't fresh and could taste it in the chip. The salsa was pretty decent. I had ordered the small skinny margarita and it was a decent drink. I had ordered enchiladas verdes and I wasn't real impressed. According to the menu from looking back it said it came with the guacamole salad and not rice. The dish came with rice and it made the plate looking crowded. The beef mixture was so salty to the point it tasted like licking plain salt. I didn't even had a chance to tell the server it was too salty because he check on us the minute the food came out and didn't show up again until he gave us the check. I won't be going back there again. There are too many cons and plenty of decent Mexican restaurants in the area."

iNoodle

★★★★★ 4.5 (22)

"i noodle seems to have done it right. Designed with the touch and feel of a Beijing huton (alley) street food hole in the wall kitchen with cherry blossoms, black brick and wood tables, they specializes in Xiao long bao (soup dumplings) noodle soup and Korean style chicken wings, among other things. There is some fusion here with other cultures, but that only improves the menu, rather than detract from it. We ordered the XLB, Honey Shrimp, Spicy Beef Noodle Soup, Soy Garlic Wings and Noodles in Soy Sauce. It arrived as prepared in the kitchen in no particular priority. Service was efficient and concerned with our satisfaction. Each dish was good to great. The XLB came in bamboo steamers. The skin was elastic enough not to tear when lifted carefully with tongs. Once their top knot was bitten off and vinegar dropped into the opening, it was ready for sucking out the hot pork broth before pushing the remaining dumpling into the mouth for chew and swallow. Excellent rendition. They even provided fresh ginger shavings when asked. The Korean double fried wings were crispy with sticky sweet sauce that required extra napkins to keep the amber glue from hardening on our fingers. Double happiness. Same for the Honey Shrimp. Crunchy large prawns, deep fried, perhaps with a touch of coconut in the battered crustaceans. The Beef Soup was a large bowl with lots of tender beef, veggie and enough chili paste to turn the liquid a nice shade of red. Son loved it. The Soy Noodles were long and al dente. A little difficult to lift from the bowl with chop sticks, but worth the effort in taste and texture. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience, made better by the sincerity of the servers who brought the food and stopped by to check on our satisfaction. Definitely a fun and worthwhile experience for us, and even a surprise given that we were in Newport News! Kudos to everyone responsible for putting this together. This concept has legs."

Black Angus Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (23)

"Tiny but mighty! Delicious wedge salad came split between us as requested. I got the calf's liver and it was good but not the best I ever had due to being too thin but it was tasty. The Mac and cheese was pretty amazing! Hubby got the shot ribs that were enormous and tender. He opted to add on the caramelized onions that were delicious. He commented the gravy was a tad salty but he never salts anything. Service was excellent. We will return!"

China King Buffet

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (15) • $

"Really tasty food, very very clean. Amazing shrimp. The buffet is only $4.99 a lb to carry out, so it's a really good deal. Egg foo young was best I ever tasted. Enjoyed it immensely and will probably go back next time I'm in town."

Pho 79

★★★★☆ 3.8 (235) • $$

"Pho was very good I had P4 round steak, flank, and brisket. Spring rolls were decent as well but not "amazing". Great sauce though! Additionally, not a ton of items on the menu besides pho. Service seemed quite rushed although the place wasn't busy for lunch. I wish our server asked for any appetizers first before entrees because it became confusing.Nothing really special about the place. Average tables, chairs, and decor."
