50 Best Soup near Skokie

“Highly recommend - I'm a picky eater and I pay attention to hygiene in a food store - the pastries were super-fresh and delicious“

“I’ve ordered take out for a while but finally dined in. I love the complimentary spicy cabbage appetizer. I recommend the dry chili chicken and the hot wok style beef.“

“Panera Bread became my favorite family dine-out, sub and salad joint, when we lived at Great Lakes Navy Housing and my husband worked in Deerfield, IL, back in 2005. My most memorable meal is the Greek Salad next to the Apple Cranberry Salad... Their Panini sandwiches are delicious too! All food is freshly made daily, and at the end of the day, they gave their daily baked goods to their last paying customers on that day. Not sure if they did that regularly or as a generous gesture since we were a young military family of 5. Either way, I recommend Panera Bread!“

“One of the best Panera locations and has a nice fireplace. Super cozy. Food is made to perfection, however you request. Staff is super nice. Michelle, I believe is the manager, she’s doing a fantastic job, and the orders are excellent. We come at least 3-4x a week.

Parking: Plenty of spots“

“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!“

“Love Love this place!!!! Food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and attentive!!“

“GO TO SUDA’S!!! This was the best falafel and baklava I’ve ever had. Miriam, our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and so accommodating — multiple things were sent to us on the house and after we tried the Arak “milk of lions” and didn’t like it due to its strong liquors taste she was quick to taking it off of our bill and was very receptive of the feedback. You have to try the labneh spreads and beetroot mutabbal too! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who is Suda‘s daughter and came to find out that every recipe on the menu is her mom‘s very own. You can taste the love in every bite. The only constructive feedback I have is I wish I came here sooner. 11/10 RECOMMEND SUDA’S!“

“this place was great the service and the food 👌“

“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.“

“Found this place on accident. Highly recommend. Pad Krapao and Pad Kee Mau is delicious!
Round 2:
Khao Soi Chicken, my new favorite.
I go to many Thai restaurants and this is tops. Even the service is exceptional. Had an issue with our meal and it was quickly resolved. Stay tuned for round 3....we'll be back ?“

“Chili is superb...squash soup even better. You won’t be disappointed. Owners are conscientious and detailed to assure you have a good healthy meal. 👍“

“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.“

“вареники с грибами и картошкой, котлеты по киевски“

“came here on a date and WOW—I can’t stop raving about it! From the dreamy ambience to the stellar service and absolutely drool-worthy food, this place nailed it. We kicked things off with the carpaccio, and let me tell you—it was so buttery and tender, it practically disappeared the moment it hit your tongue. Pure magic. Then came my main dish: the spaghetti di mare. Picture a vibrant, slightly spicy red sauce bursting with fresh flavor, draped over perfectly cooked pasta and loaded with scallops, shrimp, clams, mussels, and squid—all melt-in-your-mouth tender. My date went for the pork chop special, and it was a total showstopper—thin, crispy, golden, topped with prosciutto and sage. Absolute flavor bomb. We wrapped things up with a crème brûlée that had the most satisfying crackly top and silky custard underneath. Oh—and even the espresso was on point. Safe to say, I’m obsessed. I’ll be coming back again… and again… and again!“

“We visited for the first time yesterday and it was AMAZING! Great ambience, friendly staff, good music but the food was the star of the show. Absolutely delicious! Everything from the bread, salads, soups and entrees. We will definitely be back!!!“

“the food and the atmosphere and experience“

“Love the menu and the food at this place. This is the second time we've been here and I LOVE their stuffed squid. The service was a bit slow this time but we weren't in a rush. One major drawback is that there's NO changing table in either bathroom, and there is no countertop so changing a baby is impossible.

Kid-friendliness: Not very kid friendly - no changing table“

“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!“

“These days, the economy is tough, so everyone is afraid to go to restaurants, eat together in small gatherings, and have a drink with each other. This is the reality.
But at Romantic Pocha, there is no need to worry or worry about this.
Very, very generous. This is a place where the food, the owner's warm sincerity and kindness, and really reasonable prices take away all the burden. I really want to recommend Romantic Pocha to everyone.“

“Has been a Thai spot staple in my household for YEARS. Grew up down the street from their Oak Park location, and currently live a stones throw away from their lakeview location. Never ever disappoints, love the staff and consistency in quality.“

“Muy rico excelente servicio y rápido, les recomiendo las enchiladas verdes rikiximas“

“Glad to have found a good Vietnamese restaurant in River North. My husband and I go there at least twice a month. We love the pho there, I especially love the pho bo vien. Their vermicelli with grilled chicken is also great, very refreshing during the hotter months. I keep ordering their bac xiu coffee so I haven’t gotten around to try other drinks on their menu yet.“

“This is the best Chinese food I ever had by a mile. Everything is quality and authentic. You will be happy you found this place once you do and will never order from other less quality places if you know what I mean. Quality Chinese food. Not easy to find.“

“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.“

“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!🤗“

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

“Great little diner, huge portions, and the food was so good. We had the hash plates, biscuits and gravy, their special french toast, pancakes, and it was all delicious. We went Saturday morning and it was definitely the old folks time but it wasn't too busy and the food came out quickly. If I'm ever back in Chicago, I will be back.“

“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.“

“Best pho north of Chicago!! We will definitely come back even though it’s about a 30 min drive for us! Great service and great food!“

“fantastic service convenience location the chili is excellent“

“This place is so adorable and everything is fresh. We got watermelon, kiwi, and lemon which were all Delicious especially the watermelon. We also got the churro cheesecake bites that were to die for! The woman was so sweet to give us a sample of some tomato soup, as well. Will definitely be a new regular!“

“Great food and service. Natalie, the manager at the Barrington location, is amazing and always goes above and beyond to accommodate our requests! Highly recommend the Barrington location! Wonderful outdoor patio for breakfast and lunch.“

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

“We live across the street and have dined in about once a month for 13 years. This is a literal mom and pop spot that has 3-4 people working tops at any time. The “waiter” is the husband owner and his wife owner does the cooking. He gets a bit overwhelmed at times, but is super generous. His wife is so nice and they both love babies/kids. Our children are 9 and 10 now, but when they were young they would carry them around the restaurant. They still give them a special snack at the end of the meal. We love all the soups, japchae, and bibimbap (we’re pescatarians). The complimentary pancake is delicious as are all the side dishes. Side dishes are much better than when I get them at Joong Boo and that’s not meant to be a jab at Joong Boo either. The prices are insanely cheap. This is home cooking by real people.“

“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 🐣🥰“

“Solid 4 place. Its weird when restaurant's main dish is their name of business and other dish is better...
Like I tried their selleongtang, and this time, their galbitang and bossam.
And their bossam is the best dish for me.
I think the price plays into this factor and also, when you have legendary restaurant in same city that is known for sellongtang, aka Hanbat, its hard not to compare.
Hanbat is much cheaper and better taste.

Galbitang, I also prefer the taste of Joongboo, its more savory and cheaper. Piece of this wang galbi has more aesthetic appealing, but little meat, harder to eat, contains more fat.

Bossam on the other hand, was very nice and good price also.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“Cisco has the best customer service! He great me with a smile and made pleasant conversation from the time I entered until I checked out. Amazing food, great flavor, clean atmosphere and a team that pays attention to the customer’s needs. I highly recommend Zupas in Deerfield!“

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

“Best soup in northbrook!!!“

“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.“

“Typical Olive Garden experience and menu. The food is good when you want quick, semi-authentic Italian. The staff was all friendly, very helpful, and efficient. I don't have any complaints, other than I wish their food relied a bit less on salt.“

“I am beyond please with the service our server Kelsey gave. I hated that that I couldn’t do the survey for her because the kiosk died. Hopefully the managers will be able to read this review. It’s not very often I see someone super kind and very energetic. Kelsey you truly are wonderful with your customer service. Definitely would be amazing to have another day as a server. You definitely set the standard! Anyone would be happy to have her as a server! Thank you so much Kelsey!

The food was delicious! Definitely a great place to come!“

“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 ..“
