45 Best Soup near Forest Park

“Workers were so sweet and accommodating for my wife who has celiac disease. Food was wonderful and the restaurant was really clean too!

Dietary restrictions: Workers knew about gluten safety and washed their hands, wiped down surfaces.“

“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!“

“The food was absolutely so delicious. I ordered a steak shawarma plate and it tasted very fresh and warm. Everyone who works here is so kind and the cashier was a young girl who read me the whole menu and helped me choose what to get. She was so nice and I loved everything about this cute cafe.“

“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.“

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

“Highly suggested! My mom has a strict diet, and she can just eat soups. She loved it! Every single soup is so tasty and fresh. I definitely suggest it. The price are reasonable, and the customer service is excellent. I am looking forward to come back every time I visit Chicago.“

“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!🤗“

“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!“

“Good food good drinks 🍺 real nice place to eat loved it“

“Seriously so amazing! Tender juicy meat, good pricing, great portions. Worth every penny!!“

“Always friendly and smiling, hard working owner and staff, besides the great food!“

“Jesteście Mega! Dziękuje bardzo za super obsługę (w szczególności Patrycja!) i świetną opcję odebrania zakupow na parkingu podczas tego ciężkiego dla nas wszystkich okresu! Jestem bardzo wdzięczna i serducho się cieszy że na stole wielkanocnym będą pyszności z waszego sklepu 🐣🥰“

“I've been wanting to try this place for a long time since I drive pass it often. Today me and my husband tried it the first time for lunch. Very very good. My husband is very particular when it comes to Asian food since he is Asian himself and has his spots in the city we visit. We ordered a few things to share and try. The portions are very generous and we ordered too much as usual but we wanted to try several things. We had the shrimp soup in coconut milk and veggies ( I can't remember the name). Very good. I would come back for that. Also we had the Papaya salad. To me, this was the only thing I probably wouldn't order again. It wasn't bad, but I prefer my husbands which is hotter and a few more things in it. Then we ordered a chicken skewer with a peanut curry sauce. This was great. Very tender and the sauce omg . I asked the server if he could bring a tiny little bowl with some pho broth to taste it. My husband is a pain in the butt about his pho in the suburbs. He approved of it. That's a complement to them then haha. I ordered the drunken noodles with shrimp Thai spice level. And omg yesss! So good. I can't wait to take my older son here, he will love it. My husband got the glass noodles with crispy duck. It was so darn good and the duck was perfect. Soft, crispy but not oily. We also had Thai tea. Very good. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“Good food, good wine and a good time !!!

Came to enjoy diner here with a close friend, although I will say the food was good overall the prices were out of line for what food was being served at this restaurant. They need to be a bit more conscientious about what they are charging for some of the dishes there, although I love pasta I did not enjoy spending as much on the food there as I did when knowing I could’ve easily had a better meal from a restaurant I would’ve preferred for steak, but this is the restaurant my friend wanted to go to in particular for the breadsticks and soup, fortunately that is what made the visit worth going. The unlimited soup and breadsticks helped balance out the value of the meal.“

“I haven’t eaten inside the restaurant yet but we order take out almost weekly. We recently moved to the suburbs from Chicago and have been disappointed with the Thai places we’ve tried. We’ve finally found our go to place to order from! Food is always delivered still warm and fresh. You can choose your spice level and even the medium be quite spicy so order accordingly. We love this place and hope it stays around!“

“I was impressed with their healthy menu items. Had the Kale salad and cup of chili to go. Their salad to go container was a small square clear plastic that at first glance looked too small with all of it's ingredients squished including the dressing and condiment cups inside. I'm not a big fan of placing condiments cups or packets into or top of my fresh clean food ingredients. I would definitely ask for condiments be bagged outside of salads for future. As for quality and taste. Their menu doesn't mention that all of their produce is organic so had to ask and I was told they use organic greens. Which is a big plus bc I try to avoid any salad greens, fruits and veggies that are high in pesticides. As far as taste, once I arrived home and opened the salad, I was pleasantly surprised that while packed it didn't seem like much, unpacked and once arranged, it was a good portion for the price. The kale and veggies in my salad were fresh and crisp. Their in house dressing was also very good with quality clean ingredients! The cup of chili was small but hearty and very flavorful. It's exactly how I would prepare my own and I was very impressed with how well seasoned it was and had just the right amount of a spicy kick as Chili should be:) I will be returning to try some of their other items. I was curious about their Snickerdoodle cookie but never tried them before so $8 for 2 cookies was a bit much for me. I asked if they ever allow their customers to sample any of their cookies or menu items in general and I was told no. I would have definitely bought one cookie if it were an option. Would be nice if you offered your customers samples of small bites from time to time. It would definitely be an incentive to come back and try more of your menu items and specials in the future. I live in the area and had driven past this place almost daily and I'm glad I made the effort to find parking. Just like most of the city, it's becoming more and more difficult to find parking to even stop and visit spots like this. This is another reason you might consider appealing to new and returning customers that aren't walking distance to your new spot by offering lunch specials w/cookie or drink maybe and don't forget the complimentary bites:)

My compliments to you Chef Sarah for being "Locally sourced, Sustainably minded, Always organic and Carbon conscious"!

Vegetarian options: Their website states they are:
Locally sourced, Sustainably minded, Always organic and Carbon conscious

Dietary restrictions: They accommodated omitting rice from salad for more greens. Would use Agave, Honey and Coconut Sugar for sweetening instead of processed and inflammatory Cane sugar.

Parking: Bike path on Augusta narrows street more than before and make parking even more difficult.“

“Las mejores carnitas que he probado!!! La salsa roja y las tortillas hechas a mano hacen el complemento perfecto!! Excelente servicio y amabilidad!!“

“My family and I cannot get enough of Alisha's cakes. Her tres leches is the best ever. We typically get the Oreo tres leches for our birthdays now. Everyone asks for Alisha's cakes for their birthdays. The cake is dense and rich so we usually serve smaller slices (but people will go back for seconds).“

“The food is absolutely fantastic. Been eating Polish food all my live - and this is the real thing. My Busha would approve for sure. 🥰“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“I just got off an 11 hour plane ride from Japan. Lucky's hit the spot. They don't skimp out on the servings and the food is delicious and freshly cooked. Just what I needed! The staff was nice and noticed they greeted their regulars by name and talked to them. The place is clean and comfortable.“

“My fav korean spot.
The owners are very sweet and friendly
Free pancake for party of 2 or more.
Love their yukgaejang and cold noodles
Reasonable price
Will hear korean music/entertainment in the background“

“It’s my favorite place for banh mi in the area. My only issue was they wouldn’t give me a fork when I asked for one. Lady working there said I didn’t need it for a spring roll ? which is fair but I didn’t want to get my hands dirty. Otherwise good food.“

“Recently opened in my neighborhood. excellent egg rolls and crispy fried egg noodles with beef. Will definitely be back once we can eat in.“

“My friend and I haven’t been to Olive Garden in awhile - but we were blown away. Both of us are vegan and we had the minestrone soup and angel hair pasta with broccoli and mushrooms. Andres was our server and he knocked our socks off. He was charming and attentive - and to be honest we didn’t want to leave. Thanks so much Andres, you are a smooth criminal!“

“The portion size, the taste, and the temperature of the food was all on point. The attendant was observant, timely, and friendly, appropriately conversational..The price is also reasonable, commensurate with quantity of food and quality of service.“

“Horrible food. Over priced and gross. Do not recommend. No flavor and what I ordered was definitely not what it was supposed to be. 🤮“

“LOVE this place 😍...wish they would open one closer to me, I travel 3 hours to get my fix .. probably should move back to the area lol ..so much cheaper than the S-Way place ..and better, always crowded ..“

“Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had in the Chicago area. The ingredients are fresh and high quality, the price is affordable and the portions are large. The owners are also very sweet. Definitely a hidden gem, I always make it a point to stop by whenever I’m in the area.“

“Auntie Amy has made our lives so much simpler, and tastier. Kateri's desserts are out of this world (so to speak).“

“Lunch at Panera today!
I ordered the pick 2. My choice was the half a Greek salad and half of the garden Caprese melt sandwich. The Caprese melt was outstanding. It had basil, fresh mozzarella, tomato, arugula, shredded Parmesan and a green goddess dressing
On top of it. There was no skimping on this sandwich. From size and the ingredients.
It was delicious. I have yet to try the Greek salad. I’m saving that for dinner tonight. The half size Caprese Melt was more than enough to have for lunch. I ordered on the Panera app. Fast pickup!
I was in and out everyone very friendly there. a great choice for lunch. Can’t wait to try that Greek salad tonight. Here’s the real question would I go back? Most definitely!“

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

“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! ❤️“

“I absolutely love this Olive Garden location! The highlight of my visit was our amazing waitress – she was outstanding. Even though the restaurant was busy, she took such great care of us, made sure we had everything we needed, and even brought a kids’ menu for my child with so much patience. She truly made our dining experience special and enjoyable.

After the meal, she surprised us with delicious green mint chocolates, which my child loved so much that they asked to come back again next time. I’m certain this will become one of my favorite restaurants. The only downside is that it’s a 30-minute drive from my home, but it’s totally worth it. The food is delicious and affordable, the atmosphere is warm and comfortable, and every visit leaves me in a great mood. Highly recommend!“

“I have been here many times and with all of the Thai food options in this neighborhood and the surrounding area, this place is the best. The food is fresh, hot, and incredibly flavorful with standard options and more regionally unique options as well. Highly recommend.“

“Our regular spot when traveling from Midway. The staff is awesome. The FOOD is the best in the airport. The staff recognizes us EACH time Annnnnd our Order!!! The Chicago Sour is great drink!!!

Jessica and Isabel are great!!!“

“The food is definitely pretty good here and it's got an old school atmosphere with a touch of modern which is pretty cool and they work pretty hard to keep everything fresh so that's always a plus when you know you're going to get great food so the only downside, parking is really rough around this area and it is a bit expensive but the meal was good?❤?

Parking: They have free street parking but it's a pretty busy area but the food is super fresh and pretty good so that definitely might be worth the hassle of parking“

“This restaurant is tucked in a massive, mostly empty building near an Asian grocery store. It gives the vibes of Beijing post 2008 Paralympics when all of a sudden no one made things look good for westerners. It’s cash only.

Despite appearances, this is the most authentic Chinese food I’ve had since I was in China in college! My husband and I went back multiple times while we were in town. It was great each time. They have an extensive menu so given that it’s not a bustling place, I’m not sure if the more eclectic dishes are super fresh. But again, you’re getting authentic cuisine and that’s sometimes part of it!

The jiao zi are amazing! The portion sizes are great for the price. You can’t get them in this amount or for the cost anywhere else in the Hinsdale or Oakbrook Terrace areas. Definitely recommend!

Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian option for potstickers, dumplings, 2 tofu dishes, and sautéed mixed veggies. They may be able to make other vegetation dishes upon request.

Parking: Parking in front of the restaurant is full up front but the lot itself is quite large. We did not struggle to find a place to park

Kid-friendliness: The building is a wide open floor plan with tables to accommodate families & groups. If a toddler needed to run, there’s lots of space to do that away from others eating. The bathroom, however, would pose a challenge for diaper changes. This building is so massive though that a nursing mom or a diaper changing dad could tuck away in one of the corners and have more privacy than a changing table in a multi stall bathroom. It’s dimly lit on the outer room edges away from the restaurants.

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s all one floor. There are double doors to go through that may not have an operational hands-free opener. The floor layout has multiple tables with chairs and a free wider, open sections to get to the restaurant counter to order“

“Always a must stop on my way to or from the Brookfield Zoo. I don't live in the area any more, but when I visit I always try to hit up Mr. Submarine. I don't know what it is, because at face value the ingredients are just OK. But when you get that shredded lettuce soaked with vinegar and oregano, and the not quite sure what kind of cheese it is, mixed with a true sub roll and solid deli meat. It's a beautiful thing. And the grumpy guy behind the counter, he's been there for 30 years. Different faces over the years, but it's the same guy. Just part of the experience. Never change Mr. Submarine.“

“Nothing to take you girlfriend to on a date, it's super stark abs drab in atmosphere, but where it lacks in looks, it delivers in some delicious ass shawarma, ages you get a ton of food for the money. The last who works at night, she's a doll, crazy nice and so helpful and kind as well. You never leave here feeling like you've missed out on something, they do what they do well.“

“I am a regular. New ownership is really friendly. Food is great, they cook a bit healthier than previous owner, but very tasty. Lots of choices and quick service. Overall I recommend if you use to go here, give it a try again you might be surprised.“
