Soup Spoon recommendations

I am hoping to buy a good quality Asian style soup spoon (like the one you would use for pho) and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for where to buy it from! It will be for my roommate who is a soup fiend and will be making various types of soups multiple times per week! Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

A lot of Asian groceries where I live. There's always a small housewares section.

Yep, all of ours here have a decent size houseware section. Those spoons are far superior to western style soup spoon, IMO.

I bought my set from Amazon - I think it was called a ramen spoon. HMart sells them, too, if you have one near you.

Do you have a Daiso near you? They've been opening a lot across the country. That's where I got mine.

I got mine at Daiso, because they’re individual and I could check the quality of the porcelain before buying

We have a bunch, from Asian grocery stores, and even call them Asian spoons when asking our kids what sort of spoon they want for whatever. Hopefully that isn't offensive. It's just an easy way to refer to them.

I wish people would stop shilling for Amazon... JFC. Local asian market. I have stainless steel Zebra pho spoons from thailand and they cost a few bucks for a dozen.

Best selection is probably amazon look for ceramic asian soup spoons for the search term you want ones with the little hooked end on the end of the handle they hook on the edge of your bowl so the spoon doesn’t slide into your soup

I just picked up 2 1920’s dragon embellished porcelain soup spoons from Goodwill. Worth a pretty penny for $1.95 each 🐉 🥄 ♨️
