I had high expectations and they were met! Solid comeback for the nostalgic days of Souplantation. By far one of my favorite places to go to growing up and Soup n Fresh felt clean, new, and potential for doing so much more. Bring this back to Torrance area! Workers were quick to pick up used dishes. The buffet didn't have a long wait - I could walk right up to what I wanted. The counters were clean. I just hope they add some sprinkles or cookie crumble for the ice cream. read more

definitely a hit or miss. the first two times I came I loved the food and was absolutely comparing it to the classic souplantation. everything tasted identical to how I remembered it. however, this most recent visit, I was disappointed by the quality of food. the Mac and cheese was mushy and the pasta almost stuck together. the soup was decent and I was a big fan of their pizza/garlic cheesy bread. be prepared to wait as there's a constant line. read more

Today is my 15th trip here and my last. Must be 78 inside and sorry it's broke is what I get when I asked. I'll take my 50 dollars back instead. Taking my business elsewhere. BTW it is not broke it is set low. Refund would be nice. Saying good bye to all the staff though. Poor management is not their fault. read more

Well it took over a year, but Jen and I finally found a good time for us to go. Having taken the day off from work, we decided to try out luck on a Friday afternoon. When we arrived shortly after 2pm, there was only one other couple in line. We waited just a few minutes. Upon entering the front door, the great memories of Soup Plantation came rushing back. All the pre-mixed salads and vegetable add-ins/toppings, pastas, fresh fruit, soups, chili, pizza slices, baked potato, muffins and soft serve ice cream for dessert. There are plenty of workers that keeps the place clean, taking food temperatures for safety and ensuring a great dining experience. Salads are freshly replaced and I caught muffins coming out of the oven. Soups were full with plenty of ingredients, and with a great ladling technique you can get a nice balanced bowl. Pizza was hot, crispy and gooey. I did my best not to overeat, loading up on the pre-mixed salads and vegetables. But I could not resist capping off my meal with a small vanilla soft serve bowl with chocolate sauce and pieces of their chocolate brownie muffin. Not a fine dining experience, but everything I expected and a bit more. Overall, the experience was worth the wait, and I'm sure we'll be back again. Kudos for bringing back this dining concept. I really hope they add more locations, but if not I'm glad for this location. read more

What a throwback to good old sweet tomatoes! My partner and I drove down 400 miles just to try Soup n Fresh and it did not disappoint. For $18 for lunch, you get unlimited soup, salad, pasta, baked potatoes, and baked goods!! As a carb lover, this was my dream. There was a huge line out the door that passed by relatively quickly. The inside is like a nicer, cleaner, more modern aesthetic than what I expected. The chicken soup was mostly broth and the pastas were basic but good. Everything was as delicious as $18 can get you. Def try if you are a sweet tomatoes lover. read more

This was my second time trying out this spot (the last time I came was over a year ago) and it was definitely worth the drive out to the Chino area! Lunch on a weekend was $19.99 per person which was not bad for it being AYCE/buffet. Of course we came for the nostalgia and some few items we missed like the chicken wonton salads, chicken noodle soup, and broccoli cheddar soul.. but somehow this spot managed to create an experience that was even better that the OG! Everything was SO fresh. The veggies weren't wilted and everything was constantly being topped off and restocked for customers. My fiancé even said he thinks the soft serve here is better than the old Souplantation! It feels like they kept all the things we loved about Souplantation but improved it and made it their own. Service was also really friendly and efficient! The servers were constantly coming around to clear empty plates and everything felt clean and well maintained despite how busy it was. There was about a 15-20 minute wait outside when we came, but the waiting area is covered by a tent so it really wasn't bad. We really enjoyed our experience and it was a fun way to get our healthy greens in so we'll definitely be back again! read more

First time at this location, it's smaller than the RC one. Senior lunch price was $15.99, reg $17.99 til 4. They give you 2 hours to eat, very generous as it is unlimited helpings. Drinks are $4 each and refills allowed but they took away the ice tea urn and so I couldn't get a refill on that. The soda fountain features Pepsi, plus lemonade and milk. I made a big spinach salad with mushroom, onion, egg, bacon, red onion, blue cheese crumbles. Also took some of the prepared tuna pasta. We had some pineapple, some cheesy bread, garlic pizza bread, corn muffin, chocolate brownie muffin and they give whipped butter plus honey butter. I had broccoli cheese soup, friend had Chili soup. I wanted to try other soups but it was just too much and ditto on the baked potato with all the trimmings. We did manage to each get a soft serve, for the way out. The lady waiter at the table was really friendly and great about bussing. I think I should have left a few bucks on the table. The price seems good but we really can't fit that much in so maybe not quite getting our money's worth. This is fun once in a while and I do recommend, especially for families. Look at their website for deals. They accept InKind. read more

People call this "the next Souplantation," but unfortunately, I don't think the food comes close. The concept is similar, but the quality was disappointing. The salad bar is the main focus, yet some of the vegetables didn't look fresh and were already dry. Even the soups, which I had high hopes for, were not as good as expected. The only thing I really enjoyed was the bread with melted cheese, so I ended up eating a few pieces of that. On the positive side, the staff were very friendly, attentive, and quick. The service was excellent. read more

3.5 stars, but bumped it up to 4 due to the fun and nostaligia. Please be warned, there IS a line and the line was just as long when we left (~8:30pm!!!). We waited maybe 45mins at 6pm on a saturday to be seated, which wasnt too bad. The last time we tried to come it was a 2hr wait! The hostess in charge of seating was super nice and very communicative with us. When we finally got in you go down the salad line, then pay at the end. There is a LOT of salad options, a few premade ones but mostly just assorted salad ingredients. Salad isnt my thing so I didnt get much. Dinner is $20 per person which came out to $43 for 2 people with tax. Cheap for a buffet but there is barely any protein available. They had a lot of soups available! Pozole (our favorite!!), clam chowder, chicken noodle, cheddar broccoli, cream of mushroom and more. Theres a baked potato station I didnt partake from, a small pizza station, small pasta station and some bread and their square muffins! Theres also soft serve, a few puddings and a few fruits as well. The quality is okay overall. It is pretty fresh and they constantly restock things which is good. All the soups i tried were yummy except the clam chowder. The cheese bread was pretty good and so was the marinara! The alfredo wasn't good though. The muffins are a bit dry and the soft serve machine broke while we were there but they fixed it later! Fruit was okay. There's a ton of options which made it fun to look around and choose from but there was definitely barely any protein. Still a fun concept and an okay price but i wouldn't make the drive or wait more than 30mins for it again. read more

Made my way back for another time! This time I stopped by for dinner on a Friday night. The line is still long outside when we arrived around 6:30 pm. Food is still the same. Everything tasty as expected. Still hits the Sweet Tomatoes craving with the variety of food. Cleanliness seems to be more of a priority this time. Service was spectacular as well. Hope to be back again soon! read more

First time trying soup 'n fresh and I loved every second of it! Definitely a perfect girl lunch/dinner spot with your bestie. Not many protein options, so if that is a dealbreaker for you then this might not be the best spot for you! Plethora of soups, salads, pasta, pizza/garlic bread, etc. They even have a baked potato section!! Lunch is $17.99 and dinner (after 4PM) is $19.99 I will definitely be coming back, I really wished they had a location out in Orange County! read more

Always a great meal, just like it was at Souplantation. This location is a bit smaller than the Rancho Cucamonga one, so it felt a little more crowded during peak hours, and I noticed a slightly smaller selection of salads and soups. With how busy it gets, it seem like I would bump into people on all corners. They offer a great variety of fresh salads, pasta, bread, and soups. Everything tasted fresh, and the staff did a great job keeping the stations continuously refilled to look full and well stocked. read more

Soup 'n Fresh - Buffets Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Soup'n Fresh of Chino Hills is a little bit smaller than the Rancho Cucamonga location, and even the lines are non existent in off hours too! Service is friendly. Vibe is cafeteria, salad bars, buffet style, and cleaner version of souplantation. Salad bar is the highlight with wide choices of greens, dressings and toppings. They are fresh. The choices of soups are good, around 7 at this location. You still have your desserts, self serve and lots of carbs. They have offers online too! Come check it out! read more

The wait was almost an hour. The restaurant is reminiscent of the now defunct Soup Plantation. Almost all the food tasted the same, except the muffins were super dry.

I absolutely loved my visit! It reminded me so much for Souplantation so my inner child was squealing away. We got there around 10:45 and waited about 45 minutes before getting seated. The line was moving so it didn't seem like we were waiting too long. I got two plates to stack my salads and goodies. There was two tossed salad. They were very lightly dressed. I loved the pasta and all of the salad bar. So reminiscent. I also got chili and clam chowder. Both very good! My favorite thing would probably be the corn bread with honey whipped butter. That was absolutely delicious. The workers were really friendly and welcoming. They were so on top of clearing our plates. The restaurant is pretty big inside with lots of seating. Some tables are close to each other and lots of kids running around so got to be careful when walking around! read more

We visited Soup 'n Fresh for lunch last Wednesday. We arrived around 12:30 p.m., and there was already a line, but the wait to get in was only about 6 minutes. Soup 'n Fresh immediately reminded me of the old Souplantation, it feels almost the same. I heard that the new owners acquired the rights to the Souplantation concept after the original company liquidated in 2020, and they have done a great job bringing it back under the name Soup 'n Fresh. I'm so glad to see a salad and soup buffet making a comeback. It brought back a lot of fond memories of enjoying endless soups and fresh salads. The lunch buffet was $17.99 per person and included unlimited salads, soups, pizza, pasta, desserts, and ice cream, making it a great value. Everything we tried was fresh and delicious, and the quality of the food was great. The service was good and efficient. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and I would definitely recommend Soup 'n Fresh to our friends. We will certainly be back again! read more

Came here by accident - I was actually trying to go to the boiler and we had driven all the way out here to go there only to find out it was closed. Luckily, Soup n Fresh was in the same plaza and we've been bombarded by social media about how it was the second coming of soup plantation. It was over 100 degrees outside on a weekday lunch so we didn't really expect it to be very busy. When we entered, the host wasn't around and an employee insisted we stand outside in the 100+ degree weather to wait..... When the host came back, she said we didn't need to wait. At the end of the line, there was someone attempting to direct you towards a table, however it was confusing as some tables were marked with a paper saying it was taken? Food wise - it's no soup plantation. I remember really loving the Asian inspired salad and theirs just simply can't compare. It doesn't taste anywhere close to what I remember. The broccoli madness was close, but not perfect. Other than that....it was just a salad bar. They were good about refilling the salad bar, but they weren't good about refilling the fruit station at the end (wasn't refilled for over 1+ hours). Soups were a lot more water-y than I remember - favorites such as the clam chowder were super watered down. Luckily, the baked potato bar toppings could save it. The hot bar - the pizzas/garlic bread or whatever were disgusting. They tasted like cardboard and reminded me of that sad lunch you'd attempt to eat in elementary school. Pastas also sucked. The blueberry muffin was actually good though! That was the highlight - with real blueberries inside. Overall, I found the food to be generally bland. Unfortunately, it wasn't the glorious blast to the past that I was hoping for. read more

I finally got a chance to try this location, and it definitely brought back some nostalgic memories! The food tastes just like the old Souplantation, simple, familiar, and comforting. For $19.99, I think it's a pretty good value. It's not gourmet or top-notch quality, but that's not really what you're coming for. It's the nostalgic experience, variety, and that simple, satisfying food that makes it worth a visit. read more

This place is about 90% Souplantation, and it definitely brings back a lot of memories. The salad bar is almost identical, and even the plates and overall setup feel just like the original. The soups aren't quite the same, and they're missing those iconic chocolate chip cookies, but overall it's a great experience and a nice dose of nostalgia. The service, however, is a different story. The cashiers always seem annoyed or unhappy to be there, which takes away from the experience a bit. On the bright side, the bussers are friendly, welcoming, and do a great job keeping everything clean and running smoothly. read more

Another day, another all you can eat place! At least this place is kinda healthy, I don't know how many calories I ate, but 7 bowls of soup is probably enough for one day... The service was great, our servers kept our table clear. Vibes are just like Souplantation, what fun memories! read more

Stopped by on Saturday, 06/05/26 to eat lunch with my mom. This is my first time at this location (I've been to the OG one in Rancho Cucamonga couple years ago when they opened up and probably waited at least 1.5 hours). I thought there would be no line, but there was! Fortunately they installed tent shades for those that are waiting outside. My mom and I probably waiting around 10 minutes so it wasn't too bad: - 1 lunch adult = $17.99 (I received a 10% healthcare discount, so saved $1.80 - 1 senior lunch = $15.99 SUBTOTAL = $32.18 TAX = $2.49 OVERALL TOTAL = $34.67 ** LEFT $10 CASH TIP ** Overall a healthy, buffet-style option if you are looking to stay fit. The options are pretty limited to just salads, pizza, salads, soups, fruits (only saw oranges and grapes) and desserts (ice cream, pudding, jello). The dup (duplicate) version of Souplantation. There was an extremely long line a few minutes after we starting eating. Crazy long! read more

I'm a Soup n Fresh fan but this location felt a lot less quality than the Rancho Cucamonga location. I went for a weekday lunch and there was no wait even though it was busy inside, so +1 for ample seating. They have raised prices a buck or two, but they do have BOGO coupons on their Facebook that I was able to make use of. The cashier seemed familiar with the offer at first, but then instructed me to do some random stuff, like to respond to the Facebook Messenger chatbot with my numeric total charge. This was not necessary; you just need to select the prompt that says "Redeem in-store." I enjoy salad so I had a good experience, but a lot of the offerings fell flat for me that day. The shredded carrot salad is usually my favorite thing to get but it tasted so weird. I don't know if the recipe was changed but it was very sour, maybe too much vinegar? My partner likes the chicken noodle soup but told me there was basically no chicken in it, and I had a similar time trying to find any slivers of egg white in what seemed like a serving tray full of mashed yolks. The pizza and garlic bread were a lot cheesier than they are at Rancho where they are more dry and cardboardy. I think most people would enjoy that but I found the taste and smell of the butyric acid to be too overpowering, personally. On the plus side, the pasta was good. I always like to add some cheese and vegan bacon bits to the spaghetti. I would also recommend getting a brownie or cornbread muffin and putting some soft serve on it to end your meal. There's lots of fun things you can do to customize your food here, which is one of the things draws me back, even if I think I'll stick to the Rancho place going forward. read more

I mean.. if you want that nostalgia then it's like almost exactly how I remember Souplantation when I was little. However, as an adult, a lot of the food felt a bit... basic. Very basic. I wasn't WOW'ed by anything! It was really just... like I was eating to eat, not to enjoy. But the interior is spacious and nice, and people truly seem to enjoy it (by how packed it was when I went) read more

I finally tried out the viral Soup and Fresh in Chino Hills after hearing so many things about it, and it definitely lived up to the hype in a lot of ways. The unlimited salad bar is honestly the highlight. You can load up on cucumbers, broccoli, fresh veggies, tons of dressings, and even premade salads. I love being able to customize everything and go back for all my favorite toppings without limits. They also have a solid variety of hot foods including pizza and soups like chicken noodle, chili, posole, and clam chowder. There's also a baked potato station and an ice cream bar, which makes it feel like a full all-in-one buffet experience. Even though it was pretty crowded when I went, I was impressed with how clean and well stocked everything stayed. Staff kept things moving and refilled quickly. The only thing I would note is that the chicken noodle soup was a bit plain in broth for my taste, so I recommend adding toppings to make it a little more balanced and flavorful. Overall, it's a great spot if you like variety and building your own plate. I'd definitely come back, but I'd recommend arriving right when they open because the line gets long fast read more

This Soup N fresh is in a plaza and is a great place to eat ESPECIALLY for vegetarians! I believe that Soup N Fresh is a great duplicate of the old Souplantation. When entering there's two side of the salad bar so two lines can form! You can grab as much as you want! There's also a soup, pasta, bakery, beverage and soft serve station! A lot of the food items taste very similar to the old Souplantation: very tasty and a great bang for your buck! Tip: there's a female and male bathrooms. There's ample parking! Lines take about 20-40 minutes long depending on the day. For food, sometimes they don't have blueberry muffins all the time so some items may change accordingly! read more

I heard about this restaurant that offers AYCE soups and salads, and so I really want to try it. It was not disappointed at all. Its concept is almost the same like Souplantation. I went there for early lunch, $17.99 per person. The buffet line offers a great variety of vegetables and salads, very much the same at Souplantation restaurant. Everything is fresh and delicious. My favorite soup is the chicken noodle soup, and it was very good. This is not a big restaurant but it looks like there are plenty of tables. Staffs are pretty friendly and they did a good job. The restaurant was pretty fully seated by 12pm. It was nice that they have canopy installed outside the entrance for guests waiting in line. I hope the owners will keep open at least a couple more new locations in the future. read more

Souplantation was one of my favorite spots growing up so I was ecstatic when this spot opened up. I was lucky enough to try the Tucson location of the Sweet Tomatoes a few times over the last year so was able to make a comparison! If you don't live close by the line and drive are definitely worth it. The salad bar is great! The area is kept clean and the ingredients are fresh. I see the staff constantly keeping an eye on things to make sure everything is stocked which is great! Heading over to the soup section, I was obsessed with the mushroom soup and pozole! If I could only have those two things I would. Their pastas were also amazing. I like the Mac n cheese and Alfredo here better then the Souplantation location in Tucson! They do a great job at mantaining consistent flavors here and I think it's well worth the wait! read more

Thanks to the internet, Soup 'N Fresh has been coming up a lot lately, and the idea of an all you can eat salad and soup place seemed super fun. My wife and I arrived here just after open on Saturday and there was a huge line outside, which I guess I should have expected but underestimated. We waited in the line for about an hour before entering and being seated. When you enter this place, you grab a plate and make your way through the "buffet" lines. Once you put a plate together, you head to the register, pay, and then are seated by another member of the team. Since it's a buffet style kind of place, let's get into the food. Clam Chowder Soup- The Clam Chowder was pretty solid. I'm a big fan of clam chowder in general and I was not disappointed here. Macaroni & Cheese- Not great, but not bad. This kind of tasted like every generic macaroni and cheese that you would get from a diner. Bad? No, but nothing special. Cheese Pizza- The pizza looked great, but somehow just managed to taste like cheese bread. Spaghetti- Simple red sauce spaghetti that lacked pretty much all flavour. Assorted Salad Goods- It's literally a salad, so it was exactly what I made of it. Solid enough. Ice Cream- The soft serve machine was actually really freaking good, like way better then most soft serve. Overall, Soup 'N Fresh is a cool and unique idea, but the food here just lacked any sort of lasting impact. I didn't hate the experience by any mean, but the mediocre food left something to be desired. Kudos on the friendly staff and the clean/spacious restaurant though. read more

Soup 'n Fresh - A spread. - Buffets Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Arrived around 1:30PM and it was about a 1 hour wait in line. Probably best to come during non peak hours so 3:30PM or before close. Parking is plenty. Staff are nice, but really it's self service. Overall experience was pretty good and a very nostalgic meal. The setup inside is very similar to souplantation, which we all miss so dearly! You enter the restaurant, plates/bowls are to the left. You can choose to go down the salad bar island from the left or right. Soups, pasta, & breads are on the left side wall. Wrapped around the corner are drinks and soft serve stations. There are a decent amount of stalls in the restrooms. Ambiance is nice and bright with table and booth seating. FOOD: soups and pastas were probably my favorite. SOUPS tasted very similar to souplantation, with the typical soups: clam chowder, chicken noodle, chilli, cream of mushroom, cheddar broccoli, minestrone, etc. The PASTA's were actually more flavorful than the usual souplantation ones. Alfredo was delicious, spaghetti and mac & cheese were not bad. The premixed SALADS were not as good. Was so sad the wonton happiness salad was underdressed and barely had any chicken. The other premixed salad they had was Caesar. The Joan's brocolli salad was the same. The salad bar selections were still very plentiful and varied. Dressings were just ok. My favorite pasta salad was still really good. The BREADS were no good at all. Blueberry muffins barely had blueberries. Everything was dry and hard sadly. And of course, I had to end my meal with a soft service ice cream! FYI: there is no TO-GO option, I tried to bring back some to San Diego with no luck. read more

Not exactly Souplantation but good and at a good price. Always good on a Sunday when I take my grandkids. Their soups are well made.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon and was surprised to see that there was a huge line of people standing and waiting outside. It took about an hour for me and my partner to finally get inside. The good thing is that once you're inside, you can immediately grab food, pay, and then get seated quickly. Since this restaurant is a casual AYCE buffet style restaurant, there are multiple stations with soups, salads, baked goods, pasta, and more. The stations appeared to be kept fairly neat and clean, which is a huge plus. The food felt relatively healthy and hearty. I really liked the many salad and soup options. This was definitely a nostalgic Souplantation experience for me, but I will not be coming back here if there is a wait of more than 15 minutes. All the foods are pretty basic, with nothing being that amazing or impressive. This restaurant does have a large dining area, making it great for big groups and families. read more

The employees are very hard-working, friendly, and welcoming. The restaurant is large, with plenty of seating, and very clean. The food areas were kept fully stocked the entire time my family and I visited this restaurant for the first time. We will DEFINITELY be back soon, as we LOVED our dining experience. read more

If you were a Soup Plantation fan in any way I completely recommend coming to this place just to relive some of those memories. They captured the nostalgic vibes, from the salad station, to the soup station to the drinks and even the soft serve/self serve ice cream. The food and recipes look and taste so similar to SP and the quality here is pretty darn good. The service is friendly and welcoming. They come around at the tables quite often to clear it--no judgement. The dining area is large and roomy. But let me give you a heads up, it gets crowded because it is quite a popular spot. If you can, come early, at or before restaurant opening. But if you are not able to, just be prepared to wait, maybe an hour or two. read more

Soup 'n Fresh - Buffeting and nostalga-ing. - Buffets Near Me - Chino Hills, California

Since the closing of Souplantation Restaurants we've been on the hunt for something similar. This place is a dupe to it. Come on, its named Soup 'n Fresh. Tip: get in line as soon as possible or have someone stand in line for your party. The line is long but moves quickly. The restaurant is clean and the are enough tables and booths for a small or big party. The table next to us was throwing a 40th Birthday party. As for selection. There's a soup station, a salad station, pasta station, and a bread section. Drinks are self serve along with their ice cream (vanilla, chocolate, or a combo of vanilla/chocolate swirl). Sadly there were only grapes and oranges for fruits. The soup station had about 5 different soups which included the delicious Clam chowder. The Bone Broth chicken noodle soup tasted like boiled chicken with fettuccine noodles. It was bland. I was not gonna even try the Lentil & Spinach Soup, Cream of Mushroom, or Chicken Tortilla Soup. No chicken for me! Salads there was a selection of plain salad, Caesar salad, Chinese Chicken Salad and the never ending toppings and sides for salads. They did also have a tun pasta salad, a spiral pasta (which had no dressing), and a broccoli salad. Get the broccoli salad. It's a mix of a little sweetness and texture. Skip the other two options. The bread station has pizza (that cheese bread hd the best pull, but the dough itself was mediocre), there was a chocolate muffin, French baguette, and the ole so famous Blueberry muffins. That itself deserve 5 stars because it tasted exactly as soup plantations. Add the honey butter and its like I was back to the future!! The pasta station had mac n cheese, spaghetti marinara, alfredo penne pasta, sweet potato, and baked potato. The alfredo penne reminded me of Johns Incredible's pasta. The sweet potato was overcooked but still good. Service was okay, workers were busy taking your trays and plates, cleaning and refilling stations. The mod was always seen with a clipboard looking around. Each station I had at least one thing that I liked so i'd give it 4.5 stars. Yelp needs to update so we can do half stars!! Get with it Yelp! read more

My wife and I love supplantation back then and Soup n Fresh is most definitely a nice sight to see after their chain closed. Firstly, Soup n Fresh, this location specific is very popular. Almost a year since open, there's still a large queue to enter the restaurant whenever it's busy and it's busy very often. Always nice to have free parking in a HUGE parking lot. As it's a buffet style restaurant, the options are endless. From all kinds of vegetables, pastas, soups, pizza bites, breads, and even ice cream, you can make all types of combos. Fan favorite is definitely the chicken noodle soup, which my wife loves. My standout favorite is the alfredo pasta and the tuna pasta. A good mix of those with the various vegetables is absolutely addicting, very tasty and always fresh. Service is pretty decent as well, they take away plates quite fast and often as you are gathering more food, very impressed. Can't wait to visit again as this is one of the most authentic spots around, nostalgic for sure. P.S. Always finish your meal with a ice cream cone, very delicious. read more

So let's me get right to it. Food: fresh and crisp salads with all the fixings, yummy and hearty soups, baked potatoes and sweet potatoes with all the fixing, Mac n cheese and 2 types of pastas, and fresh baked breads and muffins. And for desserts - Soft serve and all the toppings. Service: Fast and friendly. Environment: Nice and clean with plenty of seatings. Pro tips: come early!! Soup 'N Fresh has been packed so expect long waits. Don't over packed your plates and keep your tray to carry your soups. ENJOY!! read more

Soup 'n Fresh - First round! - Buffets Near Me - Chino Hills, California

If you are going to this place in hopes for souplantation, let me warn you right now that this does not even hold a candle to its glory. All the soups I had were too salty and the chicken noodle noodles were on the verge of disintegration. The desserts were all too sweet with the exception of the soft serve. The final nail in the coffin was the food waste. I didn't get around to my baked potato so I was going to bring it home and they told me I had to toss it in the trash ‍ such a terrible policy. read more

We came for dinner on a random Wednesday night and there was a bit of a wait ~ 20 minutes-ish. The set up is the same as its predecessor: premade + DIY salads, soups, carbs, etc. I think eggs are the only form of protein you can add to your salad. I personally like the pasta bar for a little carb treat in between all the salad plates. It's giving Lean Cuisine - pasta but make it healthy-ish. The bread bar sitch was also on point. They kept churning out fresh cheese bread. Soup 'n Fresh is to Souplantation as Bear Claw is to UGGS. The same, but not the same. It gets the job done. read more

We're so happy "Souplantation" has made its comeback through Soup 'n Fresh. It tastes just like I remember and brings back so much nostalgia. We especially love the Chino Hills location. It's much closer for us coming from OC and after visiting both locations, we've found the food here to be more consistently fresh than Rancho. We've already been back many times since opening. The biggest reason I finally wanted to write a review, though, is Josue. Huge shoutout to him!! We've never had a busser introduce himself to us before and he was incredibly friendly, attentive, and hardworking. Our table was the clearest it's ever been! Watching him work, he was ON IT the entire time, clearing table after table, carrying a tray stacked high AND still checking in with his guests. He genuinely made our experience tonight so much more enjoyable. I really hope management recognizes him, because employees like Josue are the kind of people who make customers want to come back. And Josue, thanks for the sopa de pata recommendation, we'll definitely have to try it! read more
