    The Best Cutlet place is gone, but in its place is Cupbop Jangin. This is a busy strip mall in Glenview, although there is plenty of parking. This opened recently and there was one family dining in. It's bright with about six or seven tables, and it feels very airy and open. Cupbop is served in a "cup," a base of seasoned glass noodles , rice and lettuce and topped with protein and sauce. There are endless iterations of tofu, pork, chicken, beef, shrimp, etc. They also serve ramen, tteokbokki, corn dogs, and have a corner with Asian snacks for sale. I ordered a Cupbop with pork and shrimp tempura and my companions ordered crispy tofu and chicken. We all ordered mild sauce. We waited about 10 minutes and this was served not in a cup but an enormous bowl. It was piled pretty high with our proteins (pork and tofu were delicious), the glass noodles were garlicky flavored and it was delicious. The bowls are kinda pricey but you get a lot of food. We all ended up taking our food home. The Cupbops were so tasty. The service, however, needs some refining. The employee was listening to some entertainment very loud and was more interested in that than in helping customers. I know how to use a kiosk but kept getting an error when I tried to add items to the cart. Finally I asked them about how to add Ramune to the cart and she said, you add the drinks separately. After failing at that I asked if they could just take my order and I was told all orders were done at the kiosk. Five minutes later (Spongebob SquarePants narrator), we finally figured it out and placed the order. Needless to say, all of our other encounters with them we were still treated quite brusquely and coldly. When we asked for a plastic bag, they merely pointed at a table (in the front, with napkins, to-go lids, cups and water). I would suggest having a small portion for lunch. My three Cupbops was over $70 (with tax and gratuity). The food was delicious and I would come back again but I did feel that the employee would rather have had an empty shop to watch their media.

    The facility is comforting, inviting. Plenty of areas for seating. There was no other guest in the dining area. We ordered our food and I ran to the washroom. There was two empty rolls of toilet paper and an almost empty one sitting on top of those two. The food came out relatively quickly and we were quite shocked by the size. We ordered 1 chicken and shrimp and the other beef and pork with mild sauce. To me, that mild was way spicy. I ate what I could and what I did eat was delicious. This is a bowl that keeps on giving lol. Bottom filled with rice, then noodles, then lettuce, then meat, veggies and sauce as well as dumplings. Very good, but spicy... They had some great soothing music playing and after an hour and a half drive that was nice. Unfortunately that didn't last long as the employee behind the counter was enjoying a show on the mobile device and it was at a high volume. Seriously unprofessional. Maybe invest in some headphones. The facility was nice, clean. Staff was friendly. Food was good!

    After eating the donkatsu meat this is what I'm left with, just loaded with rice and noodle carbs and some not fresh chopped salad.

    Stopped in here after work the other day, and after eating, I don't get how no one was there! I got the beef cupbop that was $16.99 and came with a drink! I typically go for the beef/bulgogi when I try new Korean places because that usually is the teller if a Korean spot is good and this beef cupbop was soooo flavorful!!! The cupbop had white rice, japchae noodles, lettuce, broccoli, carrots, 2 dumplings, beef, and was topped with the medium sauce and something like a sriracha aioli. There was also mild and hot choices for sauce too. Staff was nice! There is a corner where you can buy different Korean snacks and drinks as well. Lots of parking! Reminded me of the original Cupbop I went to in Utah!

    We saw them prepping last week making the final touches on the restaurant launch. And was excited to come back this week after opened. The owner was very nice, explained how the restaurant is the second one, the first being in Naperville. His loyal customers in the Ville always said it they wanted one in the North shore so he decided to open one here in downtown Glenview! The menu seems large, but mostly variations of a Cupbop. Took me a while to figure out what I'd want since there were some good choices. He suggested the chicken and beef combination. I opted for pork after a little bit of wrestling back and forth with my decision. The portion is really good, a big container, makes two meals for my own appetite. Was pleasantly surprised by the chapchae in the under layers. The pork on top of lettuce, on top of chapchae, on top of rice. The sauces I had on the side, level two spicy was plenty spicy for me, a very unique taste that I'm still trying to figure out (salty, umami, and the rice spice level). The spicy mayo was excellent very nice and a tonkatsu kind of sauce as well. If I had mixed it all together I would be really satisfied with all the flavors going on. Pork was fantastic , a good char, marinated with so much flavor - I'm glad I had the pork. We'll need to come back for another round. They also have tteopbokki and kimbap and some noodle soups like ramen and udon. I'd imagine the food to be most excellent and a great addition to the Glenview area.

    Barely any sauce for this big bowl

    My first impression of this place and service was not good so I highly doubt I'll be back. I walked in and I was the only customer in the establishment. The lady at the front was watching a show on her tablet full blast, didn't stop to greet me or explain how things worked. She never paused her show or turned it down. I felt like I was inconveniencing her but yet I was here so I was going to order. I eventually figured out to order on the kiosk. Even though it says cupbop those are some huge bowls. I ordered two to go the beef and the chicken cupbops. The wait time was short as I was the only one there. The only time the lady interacted with me was to tell me I was reaching into the wrong cooler to grab the water. So terrible service but also the food was subpar. Even though it is a huge bowl the lettuce portion is what makes up most of it. The sauce they put on the side was not enough for the bowl sized portions. Bad service plus just okay food. It's not for me.

    Under the protein is lettuce, chapchae, and rice.

    My kids and I were a little surprised and somehow sad when we found out that Best Cutlet was replaced. We were curious about what replaced it and ordered take out from Cupbop Jangin one evening. We tried: SHRIMP TEMPURA ROLL, BEEF & SHRIMP TEMPURA COMBO, PORK & CHICKEN COMBO, and BEEF RAMEN. The shrimp tempura roll was just ok. The beef ramen was probably better if it was not take out because by the time we were going to eat it at home, the broth already absorbed the noodles. Maybe next time we'll either dine-in or request for the broth to be in a separate container from the noodles. For the rice bowls, the servings were huge. Under the protein, there were 3 layers: lettuce, japchae, and rice. The japchae was a tad salty though but the beef, pork, and chicken were tasty. The shrimp tempura got soggy, so this would be better for dine-in as well. We'll try other dishes for dine-in next time. I wish Cupbob Jangin the best and I hope some day, they can incorporate the Best Cutlet dishes as well. Good luck!

Ordering was a breeze and the guys were always open to a conversation or giving suggestions. The restaurant was clean and the meal was always tasty. Just a note but the further away you move from any major city the fewer and harder it is to find great Asian food. The suburb is lucky to have them. The pandemic brought new staffing. Some were pleasant with customers though one lady, a supervisor had the wrong ideas of what customer service and proper etiquette is. Just the basics of my final visit. I took my family for lunch. We ordered lunch specials and a couple extra must-try plates. Two specials hit the table and the third was left waiting for her meal. Unbeknownst to us in the moment, her food was handed to a single patron there for his lunch. The place was filling up with a lunch rush but not so many that had complicated orders. Many were ordering similar lunch specials. Kung pao lunch special was popular. When her order finally arrived the supervisor realized she had given the wrong plate to the customer sitting some tables behind us. Mind you ten minutes had already passed. She quickly went over to him and asked what he had ordered. She then took the plate he was eating from and handed him the fresh plate. He was still holding a half eaten egg roll in his hand. Then she brought the quarter eaten plate and placed it in front of my mother. Before she could leave I stopped her and asked her what she was doing. She simply stated that was her lunch order. I told her she handed my mother someone else's food that they were eating and I watched the whole thing. Why didn't you take that to the back and make a completely new plate of food?! I paid the bill and got the F**k out. That's gross. Also, you gave the other patron new food but cannot do the same for our table?? This place is dead to me. If she could do that, it beckons the question of what else is happening behind the scenes.

Our waitress was wonderful, and helped us with some recommendations upon us letting her know it was our first visit! She checked in with us frequently, and made sure drinks were always refilled promptly! We had a bunch of different items, and all were very good! We tried sushi rolls, beef noodles, and ramen. I'd have to say that the beef noodles probably were the best item for me! Prices were just about as you'd expect: not too high, but not super cheap either...but wholly justified by the great food and lovely service and experience!

My favorite of the night was the rose tteokbokki. The tteokbokki was perfectly chewy and I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. The popcorn chicken was also good and paired well with the sauce it came with. The bossam was on the dry side and the seafood pancake was pretty standard. The fries were good but wouldn't pay $10 for a basket of fries if we came back next time. The corn cheese was also good but the plate was small. There was a call button at each table which was convenient. Food came out individually as it was ready instead of all at once which was to be expected for our party size.

They do imeruli style, round and similar to a pizza, the crust beautifully blistered and the cheese thick with a wonderful pull. One of my friends hadn't had khachapuri before and is now a convert. We also had boso lagman, with hand-pulled noodles and beef, and big manty dumplings with flavorful meatballs inside. I requested we get a slice of honey cake, too, and that was a perfect finish to the meal. Sweet but not overkill, and really tasted like honey, graham crackers, and cream.
