50 Best Soup in Chicago

“Family friendly restaurant with food choices for everyone but the made fresh pasta was the best part!“

“I highly recommend Manchamanteles Restaurant! My dining experience was exceptional from start to finish. The food was outstanding, with each dish expertly prepared and presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. I will definitely be returning when in town!“

“Very yummy 🥰❤️👍 อร่อยมากๆคะรสเด็ดไทยแท้“

“Delicious fresh Thai cuisine. Staff is friendly and the space is beautiful!“

“I've dined here multiple times within the past two years and not only is the food extremely delicious but the staff here is upbeat, friendly and always delivers a five star attentive service to whomever dines in here.

You simply walk up to a computer screen where you can choose from a list of soup, appetizers, main courses like bimbap, bulgogi beef, scallion pancakes and other traditional Korean dishes.

I usually order a simple soup that's extra spicy with assorted vegetables, rice cakes and an egg. You can add extra vegetables, cheese or an extra egg to your order too.

The chefs were quite busy this evening with tons of pick up take out orders but I personally prefer dining in here and you also get an opportunity to watch the chefs cooking in the kitchen.

This evening one of the chefs pointed out assorted delicious sides at the counter that I had never noticed before. Basically you can help yourself to as many sides as you'd like before your meal arrives and they were extremely tasty.

Definitely a fun time and I love spicy Korean cuisine when its prepared with love.“

“Great food and cocktails!“

“First and foremost, the staff is hands down the best! Literally the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! And I’ve tried a few things on the menu and nothing has been a let down. Usually I regret straying from “the usual” but I never do here. The crab rangoon is the best I’ve ever had, the wings surprised me with how tasty and well cooked they were, the basil chicken egg rolls were bomb (so is the basil chicken over rice), and the Khao Soi is a best seller for a reason!“

“Wonderful all around. Great service. Great food. Nice decor. Perfect street parking“

“Loved the Sour Rye Soup. Would recommend to anyone“

“The most amazing seafood rolls on the planet. Convenient and delicious. Anytime you're looking to treat yourself WHILE AT WORK, Luke's is a great place to duck in and pick up food or sit down and eat with such fast service from the lobster team“

“One of my longtime favorites!!! Glad they are open.“

“This is by far our favorite Korean restaurant in the Chicagoland area. We drive about 40 minutes to eat here because the food is authentic, delicious, and affordable! It's owned by a Korean husband/wife team. It's not fancy, but I feel at home everytime. I highly recommend it!!“

“Suffron Cafe is a great option for tasty Mediterranean food in Chicago. The place doesn’t have much seating inside, but they’ve added a couple of tables outside, which definitely helps when the weather allows it.

We sat outside and had the gyro plate, beef kabob plate, and dolmas (stuffed grape leaves). Both plates came with generous portions, and everything was very tasty. The meat was flavorful, and the rice, hummus and salad made for a very filling meal. The dolmas were also a nice addition to share.

Even though we ordered at the counter, the food was brought out to our table. Good food, generous portions and friendly service. Definitely a good spot if you’re looking for Mediterranean food in the area.“

“Shipped fast, professionally, and the products are fantastic! Excellent place!“

“From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat—but I had no idea just how satisfying it would be. Let’s start with the French toast: golden, fluffy, and kissed with just the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness. It was perfection on a plate—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and topped with fresh fruit and syrup that made each bite better than the last. Next up? A wholesome egg white omelette that didn’t skip a beat on flavor. Packed with vibrant veggies and just the right amount of seasoning, it was light, fresh, and oh-so-satisfying. And that’s just scratching the surface. The service was warm, the vibe was cozy yet elevated, and every dish was crafted with care. From start to finish, this brunch felt like a hug on a plate. Whether you’re a fellow foodie, a brunch aficionado, or just looking for your next go-to spot, add this one to your list. Trust me—your taste buds will thank you.“

“the food and the atmosphere and experience“

“Such an amazing experience at The Brew! 💜 We came in just after the owner had closed, and she was still kind enough to welcome us in and make our drinks. That alone showed us how much genuine care and hospitality they have here.

I ordered the lavender latte, and my wife had the Mango Sunrise smoothie. Both were absolutely delicious! My latte tasted so light, clean, and perfectly balanced—the lavender was beautiful without being overpowering. My wife’s smoothie tasted incredibly fresh, and you could actually taste the ripeness and sweetness of the mango. I definitely stole a few sips. It was so good the drinks did not make it into the review. 😂

Beyond the drinks, the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming. You can really tell they care about the community and about creating something meaningful. I think what they’re doing is phenomenal, and I truly wish them nothing but continued success!

10/10 experience. We will DEFINITELY be coming back! 😊💜“

“Thai O Clock rocks! Banging food. Nice cozy environment. Reasonable prices. If you’re on West Peterson, give it a try.“

“The 3 different Banh Mi’s I’ve had here were ok. Bread was the best part. Everything was fresh but protein lacked flavor. The crab rangoon’s were the best thing I’ve ordered from here. Crunchy with a lot of filling. Fried rice was just ok. Staff was upbeat and friendly. I’d give it a 7 out of 10.“

“My husband and I just moved in and absolutely love the food! they have a broad menu with delicious options, it is made with love and the people who work here are so patient and kind. Highly recommend!🤗“

“We stopped in before going to see the Jackson Park Cherry Blossoms. What delicious food! The spring rolls were my favorite kind - and so good! We had those, pot stickers, cucumber salad and crab Rangoon as we were doing a lunch of apps. Excellent food and such great service. Already planning on when we can get back! 💗💗💗“

“Lovely place! The food is truly great. I had their pho and it was the best I had for a long while.

I also had bubble tea and enjoyed it.

They’re also super nice people.

Overall, 5 out of 5, will visit again! 🤤“

“Visited this establishment today after reading so many positive reviews and I was not disappointed! The Beef Sausage was very flavorful & fulfilling and the Corn Beef panini was good also. I absolutely loved the decor that displayed our beautiful legends and heros. Customer service, 10 out of 10 ! Will definitely support them again.“

“Amazing!!! Just loved the food.“

“The best goulash and meat products.They do smoke the sausage and salmon here. Steaks are high quality, aged well.

Vegetarian options: Stuffed peppers with rice and vegetables, delicious cabbage,Feta goat cheese .

Parking: They have free parking on the side, and paid parking right by their entrance.“

“I was in the neighborhood and made it just in time for their lunch special, between 11-1pm. I had the cashew chicken with a spring roll to start, and a Thai Ice tea. The server asked how spicy I wanted it and gave a choice between 1-5, I chose 4, but when it came out they had forgotten to add it, so he quickly took it back to add it. It was a chopped up Thai chili and the dish was delicious and fresh tasting. Can't wait to go back and try a different dish.“

“I liked almost everything about Egg Harbor Cafe until I heard Stephanie who was there for 9 years had left the company. How do lose such an awesome employee like her? It's beyond my comprehension. Our DG Breakfast Group has moved to The Baked Apple Breakfast Co. Our group numbers 7! Big mistake!!!“

“Soups & Scoops is a charming little spot with a great mix of comfort and fun. The soups are hearty and flavorful — perfect for a chilly day — and the ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of creative flavors. The staff are friendly and always willing to offer samples or suggestions. The place has a cozy, hometown vibe that makes you want to come back. My only small gripe is that seating can be limited during peak times. Otherwise, it’s a delightful spot for a satisfying meal and a sweet treat!“

“Thank you Fernando and Ismael at 5 rabanitos!! Great food, great drinks and great service. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The steak tortas are absolutely magical. Been to this restaurant many times now and frankly this is some of the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. And the staff here are the sweetest. This is very much a family run restaurant where they put their heart and soul into everything they do.“

“Highly recommend this place! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels peaceful and welcoming. Everything was spotless, and the decor is absolutely beautiful. The fried rice combination was one of the best I’ve ever had! full of flavor and perfectly made. The service was excellent, and the churro cake? You absolutely need it in your life. You can truly taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients in every bite. I would come back a thousand times!“

“Absolutely delicious! Authentic, traditional flavors. There were 3 of us and we paid less than $40 total. A must-try spot in Chinatown! The food is so good, and while the place is small and more of a quick eat-and-go kind of spot, I'd come back a thousand times over. Highly recommend!“

“The guy working up front was super sweet. Was being super attentive to everyone dining in. Took time with us when ordering and offered options like chopping the salad or dressing on the side. First time here. Love the menu and clean ingredients.“

“We had an absolutely amazing experience, and Victor truly made our evening exceptional. From the moment we sat down, he was incredibly attentive, intuitive, professional, and genuinely made us feel taken care of throughout the entire meal.

Victor made sure everything we ordered was exactly right and that our food was amazing. He checked in at the perfect times, paid attention to every detail, and made sure we were happy with everything without ever making us feel rushed. His service was warm, polished, and very natural.

You can tell Victor genuinely cares about the people he serves and about giving them a great experience. His attention to detail and the way he took care of us really stood out and made our dinner memorable.

The food was wonderful, but Victor’s service is what made the experience truly special. He is an excellent server and absolutely deserves recognition for the level of care and professionalism he provides. We will definitely be coming back and hope to have Victor take care of us again.“

“I love the food! My favorite are the wraps! And me and my guy swear by the detox tea! It's healthy and delicious! I highly recommend it! ❤️“

“Good shusi and also lots of other Japanese dishes. Pleasant service.“

“It’s the jerk wrap for me!! So good! My uber eats lunch is always on point when I order from you all. Thank you! Highly recommend!“

“Sports cafe long bar with a good drink selection, and great food. Came out hot and fast, with prompt, friendly service, good portions. I really enjoyed the layout, memorabilia, atmosphere, right next to my gate. The waitress always had the coffee ready, and hot. Thank you for taking great care of me.“

“Went there yesterday for dinner had the best nachos ever for an appetizer The guacamole was the best guacamole it was incredible really love the salsa and I would have to say that was the best chicken quesadillas I ever had at a restaurant And the waitress we had was great she was super nice and very helpful when we had questions we would be definitely coming back :)“

“Delicious’ I had the honey vanilla iced latte with oat milk. One of a kind! 😋“

“Amazing food and amazing service! The Pork Belly is to die for!! Yummy! Everything was SO good! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything was homemade from scratch and absolutely delicious. The inside is so beautifully decorated. The owner Megan is so sweet. She really does put her all into the food. There is such a beautiful backstory as to how her business came about. We tried the fusions and our favs were Da beef (this is an Italian beef inspired tamale), Tropicante Bustamante (this is a Jerk sauced inspired tamale) we also loved the classics Green Guadalupe and the Angel Amy. There are vegan options. We tried the strawberry and coconut Italian ice both were amazing and made from scratch.“

“If you’re looking for something different from the usual fast food, this is definitely a great choice. They offer a huge selection of soups, pasta, pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches, salads, and many other options, so there’s something for everyone. It’s a refreshing alternative to the typical burger and fries.

The food was tasty, and the variety is impressive. The only downside is that the restaurant itself could use some improvement, as the interior feels a bit outdated and not particularly inviting.

Overall, I would still highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a quick meal with plenty of choices beyond classic fast food.“

“This place has really, really good food. I stopped by here with two friends today and all three of us were super impressed with the quality of the food as well as the quantity. It seems extremely authentic and quite delicious! There weren't many customers, I think there were three customers. This place should be hopping. It's really a fantastic restaurant!“

“Just happened into the Revival Food Court. Enjoyed a "Secret Sandwich"...featuring pork belly, duck liver mousse emmentaler cheese, mustard & arugula. Washed it down with Krombacher Pils. Fantastic Lunch. Danke! Danke schoen!“

“This place is playing memes on the TV

So often are we bombarded with ads and corporate bs 24/7. Take a break - come to Lan's, a neighborhood gem with good food, easy drinks, and little whimsy that tells me - this is what America is about.“

“It was a delicious beef salad. similar to a vinegary flavor. The shrimp in the hot pot tasted like a sweet and sour sauce; I've included a photo of it below. The Thai ice tea was delicious. The dessert of taro sticky rice was excellent.“

“Excellent service great prices and homemade delicious food we love shopping here 😍“

“They have the best Chinese food down. I always get the string beans and the sesame chicken. It’s so delicious.“

“I love your Chinese food, it’s very good and I like your shrimp fried rice and chicken fried rice too, I always order the large portions of your order, very good food, and your very nice and polite to people, so I wanted to give you a good thank you! For everything that you have done for me and everyone else.“
