4 /5 J hue: Soul Prime is such a vibe—a real gem in Chicago. I’d heard great things about it, so I made the trip in from the suburbs to celebrate my friend’s birthday. The restaurant is on the smaller side but feels cozy, with stylish decor that sets a relaxed mood.
One of the best parts was the owner coming over to our table and chatting with us like old friends. She was genuinely welcoming, which really added to the experience.
I ordered the short rib tacos and the collard green dip—both were flavorful and delicious. My friend got the 290 Combo, and the fish and chicken were fresh. It could have used a bit more seasoning, but it was still very tasty overall.
I’d definitely recommend Soul Prime and look forward to coming back again.
