Really delicious flavors and friendly staff. I took my kiddos here after my little one heard an ad on the radio and wanted to try it. I like it and my older kiddo appreciated being able to control the amount of spice. We will be back. read more

Great for kids and adults. I had number 4 heat and it was perfect. Beef bowl with cabbage and noodles and a few chunks of sweet n sour kinda chicken. Great service. read more

The kids that work here are so kind and very professional! The potstickers are super good and it smells amazing inside. Restaurant is clean and they're very kind no matter how busy they are! Good ambiance and very nice staff! Go check it out read more

Such disappointing food! I guess I've been spoiled by really good Korean fast casual with kimchi and lots of other fun ingredients and good healthy meat. This was like cheap lousy Chinese food at the lousiest Chinese restaurant you could imagine. Fried meat. Noodles and rice. And that's about it. ...and an hour later I felt AWFUL. Like fast food gross yuk. read more

What you could improve on -coustomer service -changing out your food -better quality rice This was my first time here and I was disappointed that I wasted my money here. After 4 minutes of getting my food it was cold the rice was sitting there for a long minute. The food on the line didn't look clean or tasteful just old and has been sitting there for a moment yeah please don't come here for your lunch break!!! read more

Too much sauce. There aren't enough vegetables to balance out the meal. It is just protein, carb, carb, and a minute amount of cabbage. Their dumplings weren't fresh and a little cold. None of the tables were wiped down and had rice and grease all over. The trash was also overflowing. I'll come back if my boyfriend and his friends force me and I'll ask for less sauce. It does have a great location right by freak alley. read more

Super lame food for a fairly high price. I got the number 4, the barbecued chicken bowl. I gave it to a friend so the remarks on the food are hers. You get a choice of rice or noodles and I got the rice which was just standard white rice. The rice was cooked nicely, not overcooked or gummy. It was served with about 3 oz of barbecued chicken that seemed pretty fatty and gummy. Other than that, there wasn't anything. No vegetables, no toppings like onions or wontons for crunch, just chicken and white rice. For $10.50, this seemed really basic and boring. It does come with your choice of sauce, and there are 10 different varieties, ranging from mild to very spicy. I went with a 5, which looked like a teriyaki sauce. It apparently was a little sweet and gingery with a touch of spice. The service here wasn't very friendly, and when I asked for suggestions I just got a shrug. They asked if I wanted a meal combo but I'm not sure if that's just a drink along with the bowl or something else. Along with barbequed chicken you can also get fried chicken, spicy fried chicken, steak, pork, tofu, veggies, or potstickers. There are kid's sized options as well, and you can get sides of potstickers, rice, noodles, or veggies. They do have gluten free options and vegetarian and vegan options. Sauces are marked for allergens, which is nice. The space is kind of funky, in the old Thomas Hammer coffee shop, and has beautiful tiling. This food just seems so boring and like what a five year old child would imagine Asian food to be. read more

Saw Cupbop on Shark Tank and HAD to try. It was very "meh" to me and I'm sad to say that Shark Tank led me in with high high expectations. I tried a combo bowl to get a few different tastes and the food was good but I felt like something was missing. What I really disliked was the mayo and lime sauce (get that on the side just in case). The best part about this place was the portions. The price vs how much you get was impressive. The cashier also gave us a sampling of one of their appetizers since it was our first time. I recommend giving it a try- but I personally am not rushing to go back read more

This was soooo delicious. My first meal right after landing in Boise and maybe the best I'll have while I'm here. We stumbled into it because of the interesting premise and were greeted sooo kindly by the staff who walked us through the process. Then they gave each member of my family and I free potstickers since it was our first time. The food was ready instantly, and when we tried it, we were all amazed! Such delicious flavors. I wish there was one by me! (Come to Southern California!) I love this place!! I will tell everyone I know about it. My family and I are very impressed. read more

Got the combo with potstickers and fried chicken, it tasted so good and the sauce was epic

I was greeted by the very friendly and helpful staff when I walked in today. It was 1st visit and didn't know what I wanted. They recommended the spicy pork bowl, It was really good mixed in with the noodles and rice. I definitely will be back. read more

Ok, I believed in the Cupbop hype after watching them on Shark Tank. Gotta support my fellow Asians and I happened to be in Idaho over the summer. Unfortunately it was just ok, portions of meat were skimpy. The experience was nothing at all of what I saw on their IG or on TV. It was just a regular 'ol fast casual place. I guess if you don't have any Korean place to compare it to, it's decent but I wouldn't be dying to come back anytime soon. read more

Ok so here's the deal... I'm giving them 5 stars because these folks working the counter are seriously the best. Like really they are just trying the hardest to do their job. I have to respect that in every way. See it's hard enough when it's a busy time and you're busting your butt, but then you have some person I the "back" that's going to bust your chops too?? Really?? I'm sorry but that's not cool, totally respect the front of the line folks that are keeping it together! read more

Cupbop - Korean BBQ - Tofu and noodles - Korean Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I got the combo cup bop. Pretty good and decent size. For the price and how much it filled me up. I would come back. read more

1st time trying this meal. Portion was good & great flavor, but really just carbs & protein unless you get the vegetable option or pay an up-charge, as they only include a little cabbage. You choose a spice level from 1-10, then they add some other sweet sauces, which can be slightly strange to get used to. read more

I've tried them in Utah and now and Idaho and it's always the same issue with some of their employees. Their porting control sucks. Some are spot on and others barely give you any proteins. The Lady with short hair today was terrible, Perhaps the least amount of protein I ever got at Cupbop. I only find myself here out of convenience and find myself regretting it when I'm still hungry. Not worth your money. read more

The smell pulled me in! We were in search of a good meal after visiting The Birds of Prey and decided to go downtown Boise. We walked by Cupbop Korean BBQ and the smell alone was calling my name! The food did not disappoint! I ordered the KKO KKO Bop which has Korean BBQ chicken, noodles, rice, and cabbage plus the #3 sauce. The sauce gave it a touch of heat and sweetness all at the same time. This meal is a 10/10 for me! read more

Tangy fried chicken bowl with the medium spice and kimchi on the side....perfect ! Enjoyed it on the patio

I have no idea why this is on 8th this place is straight mid. The idea is fun and cool and I love the spice level idea but man the food I had sucked ass read more

What I really love about this biz is how they are making Korean food more accessible and approachable. I grew up around Korean quick service restaurants and I want to love Cupbop so much but it's just too saucy for me. I love the concept of a Korean Chipotle type of model but maybe I just haven't figured the right way to order yet. I got a level 7.5 combo with their fried chicken and beef bulgogi which came with their glass noodles, rice, and cabbage. I do like a bit of spice, which is why I got level 7.5 but once again it was just a lot of different sauces that were not necessarily spicy nor were the sauces something to write home about- so it just really overwhelmed the bowl. I also ordered a side of their kimchi, which I admit I am a bit of a kimchi snob but it was very sour and not very spicy. One thing I really love are the different Korean drinks that they offer here! I got a Korean melon drink here once before and it was delicious, even though I probably looked a little odd in line only getting a drink. read more

I ate here, and the bowl I ordered tasted good, but it completely shut me down. I absolutely had to take a nap 20 minutes after eating when I felt perfectly energetic just before eating the bowl. I didn't over eat either. It was such a noticeable change... figured I'd leave a review. read more

I ordered the #6. Tofu was really fresh and crispy. I loved it. The only thing is i should have asked for extra sauce cuz I'm all about sauce lol. I like that you can choose the sauce levels to customize. I also tried a yogurt mango aloe drink for the first time and it was delicious! read more

This place is so good! I love eating here, the options are great and super flavorful. I love being able to customize my bowl with veggies, rice, noodles, meats, and they have a huge selection of sauces to top it all off with. The noodles are SOO good! And the Koreans sodas and drinks they have are also very tasty. Fast service, good food, would recommend. Make sure you get a punchcard! read more

Good price for a good helping. I don't know how "Korean" it is, but there are quite a few options on the menu for carnivores and vegans alike. read more

Highly recommended by several people at work. I had the Korean chicken no rice, spice level 5. The service was outstanding the gal who took my order offered extra noodles in place of rice which I declined since I'm really a meat and vegetable fan. The guy who finished my order added a complimentary pot sticker since it was my first time at Cupbop. I really enjoyed the shake to mix everything up. I would have rates a 5 except the cup was too light on the cabbage mix. That was kinda disappointing. When I go back I'm gonna have the beef, extra cabbage, spice 7 and let it sit and marinate an hour because I couldn't finish the cup at lunch and a few hours later the flavor was ah mazing. read more

I had lunch there today for the first time. They were very patient with us as we ordered. The food was very good. I highly recommend

This is the filthiest restaurant I have ever seen. The floor looks like it's never been mopped. Every part of the restaurant was dirty and gross. read more

As spicy as you want it. The crunchy chicken is so tasty with the rice and noodles and cabbage. Simple menu makes it easy. Simple and tasty food read more

Super good. If you don't like spicy though I suggest staying at level 1 of hot. Staff was friendly: food was was awesome.

I got a combo noodle bop bowl with tangy (rock bop) chicken and mandoo at level 3 spicy, and it was fantastic! The bowl isn't the prettiest aesthetically, but it is sooo good lol!!! I ordered through Grubhub, and they packaged it very neatly with the option to either use chopsticks or a fork (both of which they provided with napkins). They also remembered to send a straw for my drink. Overall, I will definitely be ordering this again before I leave the Boise area!! read more

We ordered the rockbop(spicy lvl:3) and hotbop(spicy lvl:5). The hot bop was a little sweet and not very spicy. It was good but I just wished it had been a little spicier. The rock bop seemed spicier to both of us. Both were pretty good though. Not phenomenal but definitely worth a try if you are curious. read more

We love Cupbop! Very fresh, yummy sauces, staff is friendly and if you need help deciding they are great at explaining the menu.

So great everyone is nice and the food was cooked with care. The manager knew how to clean up the place no bugs do dirt the vibe was awesome too read more

I was so disappointed with my experience at this location on 7/14 for dinner with a friend. The staff was rude, I usually get the combo with no rice and extra cabbage, I had to ask the girl 3x's for more cabbage then I got attitude from the sauce person! The portions were so small! When we went to sit down all the tables were dirty. This experience will not stop me from eating at one of my favorite places just not this location. The Meridian location is so much better, friendly staff who says "Hi" to each customer when they walk In the door no matter how busy they are, the restaurant is clean and no attitude. These 2 workers at the Boise location need some training in customer service! read more

Great meal and value time after time! Great locations and super staff! Yum yum! Thank you! read more

Polite and punctual services. Thumbs up on the tasty food too. My ATF when I'm in Boise

Ordered the #3 level sauce and what I got I gave away, thought I had made a mistake so told the operator and they gave me the mildest, the sauce wasn't bad but the pork had so much seasoning on it, we threw it out. I love Korean BBQ but not this stuff. read more

Ate here on 5/19. The staff was a boy and a girl, cursing and obnoxious in the food prep, I get it they are young, not my point. Our chicken bowls tasted funky and smelled rancid. I couldn't eat more than 2 bites, my husband finished my bowl and his although agreeing it tasted and smelled funky. The next morning he was throwing up and so sick, had to be seen by a doctor. Long story short he got sick from our dinner here. I hope the managers can educate staff about food safety. I was so excited to try this place as we saw it on shark tank but was disappointed. read more

Cupbop is an amazing restaurant! The food is top tier and so is the staff! Check out this place you won't regret it!!

Sooooo good! You could call it the Korean BBQ equivalent to the poké bowl. If you like kbbq, but don't want to put on fancy pants you'll love CupBop! read more
