Wowza what's a spot. This was excellent. I would recommend calling it in and picking it up. Especially the chicken wings. They are messy but absolutely delicious. We received the two most tiny napkins thinkable I went and asked for more and we got two more. I felt like it was a skit. Dumplings were yummy too.

Very friendly owners/operators. 6 tables so not good for large groups. 2 tables only seat one person. Not fancy for decorations but who comes to eat decorations?!? Everything is made to order so it will be piping hot and fresh! It stayed at a good temperature for my 25-30 minute commute. I got the Beef Level 2 (regular) spice and an extra order of dumplings. Super yummy and spice level was perfect! No leftovers for me!

This was SO good! I will definitely be back! The beef was so good and I just got regular heat so it just had a hint of spice...my mouth is watering thinking about it! I love that you get rice and noodles for change in texture. The fresh thinly sliced lettuce is really good in the dish. I would highly recommend going and trying anything here. The customer service was great. No indoor dining right now but it doesn't even matter. Lol

This place was actually really good. I was not expecting to find good authentic Korean food in Murfreesboro. But we were pleasantly surprised. The place was a cute little shop. It's just a fast casual place, but the service was pretty good. Combo bowl (4/5): really tasty, loved the variety. It came with spicy pork, crab, and beef bulgogi. My favorite was the bulgogi; it was tender and delicious. The pork was amazing too, very flavorful. The crab was okay, a bit too creamy for me. But I loved the variety of everything. It came with fried rice, cabbage, gyoza, noodles. We got the "hot" sauce (the 3rd level spiciness out of 5) and it was REALLY hot, like a bit too much for me. But the flavor of the spice was really good.

I absolutely adore cup pop Korean BBQ in a cup the ladies are so nice and sweet they always have a smile on their face and they're always ready to help and answer any questions that you may have I really love and enjoy the chicken it's a fried chicken with cabbage lettuce rice broccoli sesame seeds and they have sweet potato glass noodles with the sauce of your choice you can go from no sauce all the way up to spicy number five they're edamame gyoza fried rice omelets kimchi and seaweed salad are awesome top tier. I really enjoy that they have authentic Korean drinks as well as American drink options. The seating area is always clean and spacious enough to see two or four people or up to six if you can bind the tables. The bathroom is always clean and neat tidy and they're always napkins and paper towels to make sure that you can dry your hands after washing them. They have a student discount as well as a group discount if you order enough. I think they also do catering

Amazing the food everything was tasty & high quality. And service was so amazing and sweet. I can't wait to go back !!!

Soooo good. The beef and the combo are my favorite. The beef is seasoned perfectly, a with a bit of sweetness, served over rice, with a side of sweet potato glass noodles (amazing! Also seasoned) some fresh chopped cabbage and 2 pot stickers (fried meat dumplings). It's good even with out the sauce! It's a sweet sauce they recommend poring over top and mixing with the meat and rice. The combo was a crab salad and some chicken which is good but spicy for me. I also tried kimchi for the first time. Vinegar marinated cabbage with sriracha-type sauce and garlic. Good offset to the sweet bbq beef. So good. My mouth is watering now!

Love, love, love this hole in the wall. It's genuine and isn't comparable to any other food place in the Boro. The interior may not be that fancy, but it's good enough to pick up some food. I have always gotten the spicy bulgogi with the least hotness and it's always so satisfying. The food is not really in a cup but it's in a bowl that's why serving size friendly. I also tried the fish ice cream sandwich with the chocolate spread and it was good as well. I really wanted to try the red bean flavor but I didn't know what to expect. Please give this place a chance! read more

We're new in town and my wife and I were very hungry and craving Korean food so we decided to stop by Cup Pop at 3:00pm on a Friday. While waiting in line to order a woman politely apologized and informed us that they ran out of rice and it would be 30 minutes until more rice was ready. We couldn't wait that long to eat so we left. My sister who had planned to join us there was OK to wait for rice so she proceeded to the restaurant, but when she got there they were closing the curtains and turning off the open sign. Was disappointing because the food on the menu looked good. If I get a chance to go there again I will revise my review. read more

The spicy beef bulgogi here is officially my favorite food of all time. I don't even live in Murfreesboro but I make sure I get to indulge every time I'm in the area. The only downfall that I have to take a star away for is that their prices went up and I don't see why. The prices were very fair and now they're just a bit too high in my opinion for a bowl of food. I guess it works out for them though since they knew people who love it enough will be back anyways. read more

I've have gotten food to go here twice. The menu is simple but every dish has had amazing flavor. Vegetarians be sure to ask if there is meat in the gyoza that comes with it. I forgot to ask last time I was in there. The vegi bowl is super tasty though! Be sure to add kimchi. My husband has tried the Spicy Bulgogi & combo bowl. The portions seem small but we always have some leftover. Great place if you want to grab something quick and inexpensive. We waited no more than 15 minutes each time for our food to be ready. I definitely want to try out their sushi roll sometime. read more

So this is the reason why I am NOT giving this place Five stars which could have easily been 1 star and a customer lost. When i looked at the menu i was going to go with the seafood cup that comes with "crab meat" because i have been duped before i asked if it was imitation crabmeat which contains no actual crabmeat she said it was. i find that very deceptive and had i not asked i would have thrown away and never been back. Other than that the spicy bulgogi was awesome, the noodles were good, the food was fast out the door and the gyoza was very tasty. Look forward to trying the chicken katsu next read more

Clean, small restaurant with a concise easy to follow menu. They have unique drinks and desserts, and they are very friendly and inviting. Had the combo bowl with fried rice. The beef and pork were great, noodles had a great flavor. I was not a fan of the "crab" because it seemed to be imitation crab meat shredded with a tasty sauce. The fried rice below all of that was ok. My husband thought his meal was above average and tasty. Next time I will try steamed rice and the spicy pork.

I had the Soft Tofu soup and chose seafood as my protein.

I LOVE the Kpot chain and this location is excellent!…read more We had a pretty big party and they were able to get us in without a reservation within 20 minutes. Our waitress was REALLY hard working and I could feel her stress. I told her to relax, she's doing great. It was probably a bad idea to bring so many people here that have never been to a Kpot before. Even I was overwhelmed! However, she was great and through it all, the staff here were phenomenal with so much back and forth of what people ordered. I definitely will stick to 4 or less people from now on haha. The food was fresh and delicious and I loved loved LOVED the curry based broth, something we don't have in Raleigh, NC. I will definitely be back when we're in the area again.

Our family frequents K-Pot in Murf, and it's consistently a solid choice for when you can't decide…read morebetween BBQ and Hot Pot. Having both options at one table is a total win, especially for a group with different tastes. The Highlights: * Better Quality Meats: Compared to some other AYCE (All You Can Eat) spots, the meat quality here is definitely a step up. * Must-Order Cuts: The Galbi is flavorful and tender, and the KPOT Steak is another standout--it's high-quality and cooks up perfectly on the grill. * Spacious Vibes: This place is huge! It's very spacious for big parties, so if you're bringing the whole family or a large group of friends, you won't feel like you're squeezed in. The Tech & Service: * iPad Ordering: I love the convenience of ordering from the iPad right at the table. It makes the process feel seamless. * One at a Time: Just a heads up--even if you order multiple quantities of an item, they tend to still only bring one out at a time. It can slow things down a bit when you're hungry, but it does help prevent food waste. * The Sauce Bar: The sauce area is fantastic with tons of options, though it can get pretty crowded during peak hours. You might have to time your trip to the bar strategically! Overall: The prices are decent for the amount and quality of food you get. It's a reliable, fun experience that keeps our family coming back.

This is such a great spot! I've ordered to-go from here many times and it's always been great. I've…read morenever dined in-- it's a very small restaurant, just a few tables-- but the carry out service has always been great. Some of our favorites: Thai wings-- these are SO good. Sweet and a little spicy, perfectly crispy. They are amazing. Pho with Chicken -- it's a great comfort food. It's consistent which is nice and they send everything out separately when you order it to go so you can add what you like, which I think is a nice touch. My sister said the green curry was some of the best she's had, but she ate it before I could steal a bite. Overall, I definitely recommend Som-Tum Thai.

Som-Tum Thai is a nice smaller restaurant. It has some nice decor and appears to be nice and clean…read more Also, they played some lively background music. The service was very friendly. I placed a to-go order of sesame chicken with fried rice, wonton soup and chicken fresh rolls. My order took about 10-15 minutes. So it did take not too long. The food was prepared fresh so everything was nice a hot even after a short 10 min drive to get back home. The wonton soup was excellent. The chicken fresh rolls were decent, but some of the lettuce was not so fresh. Also, the peanut sauce was a little runny for my taste. The sesame chicken was pretty good, however, the fried rice was a little bland. Overall, I would say it was a decent lunch. But I would say, considering they are a little pricier than most Thai restaurants, I was expecting a little more wow. I will definitely give them another try.

My recent visit to Cup Pong, a charming Korean restaurant, left me thoroughly impressed and eager to share my delightful experience. From the moment I tasted my meal, any concerns about the wait time dissipated, affirming that good things indeed come to those who wait. The highlight of my dining experience was undoubtedly the glass noodles, which were cooked to sheer perfection, striking that elusive balance between texture and flavor. The bulgogi and chicken katsu didn't lag behind, both dishes presenting themselves in perfect form - the bulgogi was savory and tender, while the chicken katsu was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, exactly how one would dream of it. Admittedly, the menu at Cup Pong is not the most expansive. Yet, what they may lack in variety, they more than compensate for with the quality and execution of their offerings. I do hold a quiet hope that they might introduce some new specials or dishes to their already stellar lineup, offering regular patrons like myself more avenues to explore their culinary craftsmanship. Cup Pong embodies the quintessential mom-and-pop restaurant vibe, which I absolutely adore. They pour their heart and soul into every dish, and it shows. While the wait times can occasionally stretch longer than one might expect, it becomes a trivial matter once you're presented with your meal. The wait is a small price to pay for food that is executed with such care, passion, and freshness. In summary, Cup Pong is a testament to what can be achieved when food is prepared with dedication and love. Their ability to deliver consistently spectacular dishes, even with the constraints of being a small operation, is nothing short of remarkable. For anyone looking for an authentic Korean dining experience that feels like a warm hug, Cup Pong is, without a doubt, well worth the visit. read more

Wow. This was delicious. I love Tonkatsu... and theirs is very good at a good price. I try to make this myself and it's okay but not like what I get at Japanese restaurants. Good prices too. Try this and see for yourself. Murfreesboro is growing and getting some great restaurants. read more
