I ordered the Mexican Street Corn Grain Bowl as a takeout, and it was a complete disaster. The bowl was 80% plain spinach and lettuce, barely 10% rice and quinoa. The chicken pieces were literally white, not grilled, not seasoned, not cooked properly at all. People eat chicken for protein, not for a half-tablespoon of raw, rubbery bits. The description talks about a wholesome blend with grains, salsa, cilantro, and grilled chicken but there was none of that. The so-called corn and black bean salsa had maybe four or five beans total, and I couldn’t find even a trace of cilantro anywhere.
I even paid extra for avocado, and they gave me what looked like half a spoon of bland avocado paste. The whole bowl was bland, flavorless, raw meat and totally misleading. If I wanted a salad, I would have ordered a salad not a “grain bowl” that barely has any grains. For $15.86, this was an absolute waste. I don’t know about their soups or sandwiches, other food items but if you’re considering trying their bowls, save your money. Never visiting again!

I really have no idea how this place has 4 stars, let alone 2. The food itself is underwhelming. Near cafeteria. Microwaveable. The bread. It’s kinda fluffy for the bread bowl but not that baked through and very starchy. The lobster soup was good but you really get so little for your money here. It was $33.33 for a bread bowl, served separately from the soup so you need to pour it in, 3 pretzel sliders (which have no salt and look nothing like advertised, very bland again and tiny), and a beer cheese soup that again is such a small portion. For the price is the real issue. This is not a $33 meal. Not even in the loop. $20 at best even with today’s inflation issues. This was honestly the worst lunch I’ve ever had in the loop, and I’m a pretty open minded easy to please guy. Subway would’ve been better. Panera bread. Try to skip this place unless something else on the menu is driving this places stars.
Oh, and it was supposed to be ready at 1:02 but took til 1:30. Lunch rush and the employees were very nice and hard working and anxious. They’re doing their best. Whoever is in corporate is causing these problems. I used to walk by the wells location after it closed with the sign still up wondering about this place. Now I know. I wish it wasn’t in the loop at all lol.

Order 2 loaded baked potato soup. Instead of telling me they ran out they substituted for two different soups. I was upset when i received my order because I was looking forward to the loaded baked potato soup. I would have appreciated to been communicated about the switch they made to my order. When I called the lady seemed annoyed. I asked for a refund for those two soups. I also Ordered 2 chicken noodle soup - phenomenal soup loved it.

I often get lunch at Zoup, and its great. I always order the Lobster Bisque, and its good. Ordering online is easy, and its usually ready on time. The price for a cup is reasonable, as the portion is enough for lunch.

Very delicious lunch downtown. We tried multiple soups and loved everything. Love that the soups rotate daily so there is always something new to try. Grilled cheese dippers were a
Terrible service and lack of appreciation for their customer, you’d think these loop businesses learned post Covid, this one certainly didn’t.

My CURRENT (TODAY'S) experience was very disappointing. Despite the restaurant's negligence, my order was given to someone else and I lost my food. However, what prompted me to write this review was the rude behavior of the delivery lady towards the Doordash driver named Dale, who was trying to help me by obtaining more information.The delivery lady's behavior was extremely unpleasant and I would never recommend ordering from ZOUP again.I LOST MY FOOD AND MONEY - NEVER ORDER ZOUP.
