You need to beat the rush and get here before they open if you don't want to wait over an hour. Totally was souplantation vibes with some tiny few tweaks. The chili was not as thick as Souplantation had theirs. But what made up for it was the pozole. And yes, I did go back to the salad bar to get some cabbage and radish for the toppings. Even the positioning of everything was exactly the same as Souplantation. Hope they open up more spots so we don't have to drive all the way to Rancho Cucamonga to get our fix!

The return of this place after COVID feels like everyone's dream come true. Although the name has changed, this spot occupies the former Souplantation location, retaining the same layout. The menu is nearly identical to what it used to be! While my friends noted a slight change in the chicken noodle soup, I was just happy to enjoy my salad and soup just like the pre-COVID era. I've visited twice so far: once on a Monday evening and another time during Sunday brunch. The wait times were 30 minutes and 1 hour, respectively. I recommend bringing water and something to do while waiting in line, as it can get hot and tedious. The management is doing a great job maintaining guest capacity, ensuring the restaurant doesn't become overcrowded. While the prices have increased, it's definitely worth the drive and wait if you were a Souplantation fan!

What an awesome spot for everyone that loves the old Souplantation. Personally I believe this spot has better quality than all the old Souplantations and the process of getting in is overall better than it was before. I came 30 minutes before opening on Sunday (around 10 am) and was maybe the 15th group in line. I believe you can probably come 10-15 minutes before opening on Sunday to get in the first wave but if you miss that you'll easily be waiting for 1-2 hours. We ended up leaving at 11:30 and the line was all the way back to the curb, easily a 1.5-2 hour wait. In terms of the food, definitely everything is the same/better than the old Souplantation. Some notable mentions are the chicken noodle soup has nice fresh chunks of chicken breast as well as not soggy noodles, and they even had beef bone broth soup with bones with chunks of meat still attached to them. Everything gives you nostalgia and this place absolutely rocks. Another thing that I like is that when the restaurant is actually full, they make everyone else in line wait outside making the salad lines empty. You can easily go and get second helping of salad without people waiting in those lines which makes things so much better. The Verdict - Would I go back? Absolutely, food is great and for $16.99 for lunch I think it's actually worth it now a days. Would I wait in line over an hour? Absolutely not, but if it's you're first time trying this maybe it'll be worth it. Parking - Not sure if it gets bad later but they have their own lot which is reasonable size.

We arrived at 11 on a Wednesday and had no problem getting a table. By the time we left at 12:30, the place was packed! It was a nostalgic feeling, as this was my childhood favorite. The place had the exactly same set up. The clam chowder was still yummy and the chicken noodle is actually better than I remembered. The chicken chunks in the soup were tender, they used to over cook their chicken. The Mac was under seasoned and the minestrone was also bland. The cheesy bread and pizza were too oily. Overall, experience still hit the spot! My favorite things about this place has always been the salad bar, clam chowder, and the chicken noodle soup it hit the perfect spot.

Super nostalgic and hits the spot! We arrived around 2pm on a Saturday and waited in line for about 45 minutes. The line almost reached the sidewalk when we arrived and there's minimal shade, so be prepared with some sun protection! To compare the food with Souplantation, here are my thoughts: - Pastas are better - Fewer salad dressing options - More pre-made cold dishes in the salad bar - Fewer soup selections (they doubled up on chicken noodle and the clam chowder) - Soups are more flavorful - Everything was more flavorful haha Layout was basically all the same but with a different color scheme and a colorful selection of bowls. Can't wait to go back! It was a bit of a drive, but it's nice to make a whole day out of it and go shop at Ontario Mills or somewhere afterwards.

Walking into Soup n Fresh felt like stepping into a time machine, taking me straight back to 2019. It's almost uncanny how little has changed, from the inviting ambiance to the menu classics we all loved. The clam chowder remains as rich and hearty as ever, perfect for reminiscing about simpler times. The broccoli slaw offers that fresh, crunchy bite, while the arroz con leche is still the sweet, creamy delight I remembered. The pozole is a comforting bowl of savory goodness. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with the friendly staff swiftly clearing our finished plates, ensuring a clean and comfortable dining experience. The food remains impressively fresh, from the vibrant salads topped with olives and tangy yellow peppers to the ever-reliable ice cream machine, serving up soft serve just as delightful as I remembered. While it's not exactly the same as Souplantation, it captures that familiar essence. Soup n Fresh offers a comforting reminder of the past, making it feel like 2019 all over again--deliciously nostalgic, yet refreshingly fresh.

Found out about Soup'n Fresh while surfing YouTube of all things. My ga.ily and I decided to make a detour on our vacation drive and check it out for ourselves. Got there on a Monday at about 1130 to a line of about 30 people, 18 being 1 Patty, do not too bad. It was finally our turn, and I'm telling you i was so "excited" to be able to have that Souplantation feel again. Everything about Soup'n Fresh reminds me of Souplantation. The salads, soups, breads and pastas, and even the dessert remind me of Souplantation. There are slight differences in the tastes of some of the soups, but they are still good. Now it is more than what you remember, but what isn't nowadays? Lunch for a family of 6 ran about $105. I may not go back soon as it's almost a 2 hr drive but if I'm near the area I would definitely eat there.

I like the restaurant, all food is delicious and healthy , especially soup is perfect .

Everything was great I came for the soup and it looks delicious I need to buy some to take home as we all have folds at our house right now and nobody wants to cook
