45 Best Soup near River Forest

“One of the better Panera's. The staff always makes sure to get things right even when there are issues not caused by them. I've had a few delivery issues from drivers and the store made sure it got sorted out and got me new food or a refund very quickly. If there ever are issues with the order, Panera will make it right.
Special thanks to the manager on 7/5/26 1pm, she helped resolved an annoying issue quickly from a messed up delivery.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“Delicious Mediterranean food with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. Everything was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Highly recommended!. I had chicken kabob and chicken shawarma. Was a good find for Logan square.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

“I love this place. Great little family Mexican restaurant that specializes in grilled chicken. Every now and again a small portion of the chicken is a little dry, but that's usually when I'm picking up later in the day and sometimes I wish for a little more salt in the salsa but I'm not docking any points though because I don't need more salt, my dog loves any bits of dry chicken I've run into, and I love their carne asada burritos and their breakfast specials.“

“Pleased to see an authentic Thai restaurant here. They have diverse dishes that take risks with Thai spice-level and ingredients like strong Thai fish sauce. While the spice was not spicy enough, it was still delicious. I won't order often (I am from NJ) but when I am in the area, this is my new go-to in the Rosemont vicinity.“

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

“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!“

“This place is such a gem with delicious, healthful food and such thoughtful staff. I was very excited to find it was so friendly to dietary restrictions including GF, dairy free, and vegan. This is definitely going to become a regular spot for me.“

“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!🤗“

“Not recommended if gluten-free but this place is tasty and the owners are lovely. I eat gluten-free presently, and the menu has land mines. The pancake that's included has wheat. Some of the noodle dishes have egg/wheat noodles, so be careful with those as well.“

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of having some amazing tamales packed with flavor. I've eaten tamales most of my life and I brought some for my grandma who came to Chicago from Mexico and she absolutely loved them she has been eating them for 70 plus years and for her to provide her stamp of approval means a lot. Highly recommend!“

“It's hand down one of the best diners around state. Friendly atmosphere, great food and this Hash Skillet is the BOMB. Don't forget to also include a Sunrise Smoothie to your meals, makes the day feel so much better.

Love it since I've been coming here after my early 5am work shifts. Always leave contently full.“

“Stopping by this bar on a drizzly weekday was alright. The drink I had was fine, though not particularly memorable. Service was efficient enough for what it was. It’s a perfectly acceptable option if you're looking for a quick drink in the area.“

“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 :)“

“Its a been a while since Ive been at an Olive Garden. The service was great: patient and efficient. I had the shrimp scampi lunch portion that came with a soup - it was the perfect size & tasted good. Also had the Sicilian Cheesecake; not gourmet but good.

The manager came out to greet us near the end of the meal. He asked about our food and service & offered to take away our empty plates. He then gave us a card with a QR code to scan and provide feedback. He also flipped the small screen around, so we assumed he was encouraging us to use it to order dessert and pay? Then he walked away, forgetting to take the empty plates - haha.“

“This is a great find. Gabriella is so nice. Everything is delicious! Prices are very reasonable. Support local businesses.“

“I got a sandwich catering order from Starship, and ordered online a couple of weeks in advance. The order was delivered exactly on time, and was delicious. Catering sandwiches were cut in a great way, small enough where each person could have 2-3 sandwiches. Would recommend!“

“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! ❤️“

“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.“

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

“Authentic and Delicious!
Dukat is a cozy little spot with amazing Balkan food! Everything tastes homemade — the ćevapi, sarma, and fresh bread were outstanding. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels just like home. A true hidden gem!“

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

“I love the food here, and the customer services is great“

“best sushi in the chicagoland area for me! this little stall inside Hmart Niles’ food court is such a hidden gem. my husband and i actually come here once a week now, it’s officially become our comfort-food spot. i’m not a raw-sushi person at all, but they have amazing cooked options. i'm obsessed with the salmon yaki roll. seriously, it’s that good, always fresh and consistent.

we chatted with the owner once, and he told us he even makes the wasabi from scratch. the wasabi alone deserves an award, so flavorful, not the harsh store-bought kind. the owner is almost always there, making the sushi himself and running things with such a friendly vibe. he truly deserves recognition. this is literally the only sushi my stomach can tolerate, so that says a lot.

and it’s not just the sushi. their entrées are unforgettable too. my husband swears by the chicken katsu: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the portion/price is super fair.

definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area!“

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

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

“We had the best experience at this location. Our server, Azu, was not only welcoming and hospitable, we experienced the impact of her genuine effort and dedication. It felt as if we were the only people dining in a restaurant full of fellow guests. Service such as this is hard to come by, and having dined at Olive Garden before, this experience stands out above them all.“

“My cousin and I left the Chili's down the street and we were very disgruntled, but the staff at Olive Garden here were so friendly warm and welcoming. Neela was our server and she was the sweetest server we had. Thank you to Olive Garden for turning around our food experience today!“

“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 ..“

“Food was great. The service was perfect from beginning to end. Our waitress melissa was courteous and helpful, ensuring that our whole meal experience was flawless. She was very busy taking care of several other costumers at once but that did not stop her of making sure that we a group of 4 people were taken care of. We would come back definitely for the service and the yummy food. Thank you!“

“I found this gem after a long day of work and traveling. The staff was so welcoming and every person was genuinely friendly, and the service was excellent. The deep dish pizza was so good, especially the homemade sauce—it had so much flavor. Honestly, everything we ordered was delicious. If you're looking for great food and people who make you feel at home, this is definitely the place. We'll be coming back the next time we're in town!“

“Great customer service at this location, only my second time I've visited this particular one, but I'll have to make it a point to stop by more often. The crew gave me a very welcoming vibe. Plus you can't go wrong with the King Roast Beef Hot, with everything, plus chips. Has been my go to ever since I was a child. That was a long time ago! 😅“

“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“

“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.“

“Kudos to the GM of this location for fabulous and thoughtful service with my delivery order. At the last minute, I added some bagels to my dinner order to have for tomorrow, and when the order arrived, there was an apology note about the Everything bagels being not up to standard and overdone, and small gift with the order to make up for it. That is incredible customer service. (Oh, and my salad and soup — and even the extra toasty bagel I tried — were all fresh and delicious.)“
