In fairness, I have not had much Korean food. I tried the drive-through and they were great. Fast and friendly. My food was hot and exactly what I ordered. I'm not sure this place is my jam. I got fried chicken and veggies in my cup. I also got the K-Dawg and some kimchi. For me, the mixing of the flavors in my cup just wasn't hitting. It might have been my combo. The chicken was nice and crunchy. The veggies were fresh and crisp. It was all the sauces that I didn't find great. The flavors were melded together and it just wasn't for me. I'd like to try again and ask for less sauces. The K-Dawg was fun to try. My kids would love it. The kimchi was exactly what you'd expect: funky, spicy, tangy. I'll probably try them again when my 20-year old twins can join me. I'd like to try a few other things because the service was great. read more

I came here on a Saturday night with a few friends, and we were impressed right fromt he start. The staff was super attentive, our server, Min, helped us grill the meats perfectly and kept the sides coming without us asking. We got the beef combo and everything was fresh, especially the marinated short ribs. The kimchi and jachae were legit, just like what I had in Seoul. We left feeling stuffed and happy. It's not the cheapest, but the quality and service totally make it worth it. read more

I've been driving past this spot for over a year. Not sure why I've not tried it but here we go! I ordered the bbq beef bowl or Bop and for $2.50 added double meet. I got drive through and omg it's smells so good! I got 2 orders of MonDoo 6 pieces and tangy fried chicken! Can't wait to get home! I made it without trying to eat while driving. Good thing come to those who wait! First bite! Wow! The beef is tender and meaty.The spice was perfect. I got double meat so as I dug past the abundance of delicious KBBQ I found glass noodles. Is there Jap Chae in here? Digging deeper there is raw crunchy cabbage and white rice! This is a treat! Meat in every bite, great savory flavors and satisfying textures. I will be back.

I am one who doesn't really like surprises when it comes to food if I am not in the food for it so when I go to a restaurant that I like I will order the same thing over and over. This place is the most consistent food. Other cupbop locations seem to struggle with consistency with spice levels but this location is always on point. Love it. read more

The short of it: flavorful food offset by loud manager and ambience. I visited with my wife and we got the crispy chicken and beef bowls. As with other visits to CupBop, the food was great. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was a delicious new texture to add to the noodles and rice. I ordered extra beef, which in my opinion is the way to have the #2 beef bowl. Heat level was 4 of 10, so a little tingly but definitely nothing to label "hot". Next time I'd try a 6. The woman taking my order was pleasant and professional, and the food quickly served hot. Very yummy! What distracted from a nice meal was the noise. There was a manager in the dining room parked at a laptop at a makeshift desk next to the drink station (is there no back room or office space in the back?). She spent nearly thirty minutes yelling at high volume across the dining room to employees behind the counter, asking about availability, schedules, work gossip and other stuff, instead of simply pulling an employee aside to have a normal conversation instead of doing so at an elevated voice. The concrete floors and walls ended up being a reverberation chamber for the yelling across the restaurant that nearly ruined the meal. Not professional. read more

Our order was inaccurate.

Also one of the bowls was supposed to be "sloppy" but was actually light on sauce. Finally, the rice was stale. I love Cupbop but this experience was a huge disappointment. read more

Honestly, I don't love this place. Maybe it's that I just haven't had enough Korean food, but to me it seems like all the textures just kind of glob together into one mayonnaise-y, slimy mess. I've given it two tries and it just isn't for me. That being said, my uncle lived in Korea for two years and now lives out of state. Cupbop is an absolute must for him every time he comes to Utah, so it truly might be a me problem and you might love it! Not my "cup" of tea but I won't yuck on someone else's yum! read more

As thousands of cars, trucks, and motorcycles travel east and west on 123rd south, there are thousands of us who all have different lives. Some of us have boring days, some of us are happy as can be, and there are some of us who are in the middle of an existential crisis. Whether if we have time to cook, going through the drive through at Cup Bop's Draper location makes your day just a little better. There is an actual character who works there named David. Not knowing his adversities, yours, or vice versa, David always makes time out of his day to be kind. Kindness is a rippling effect. It is easier to take our frustrations out on those we don't know. It is easy to lose our edge if someone cuts us off, or is just plain rude. Whatever the case may be. And if you're having a challenging day, David always chooses kindness. He will be the reason why your day is a little better. If his purpose in life is to be uplifting, he is winning. Check him out if you have a chance, the food is good too. read more

Dude. What happened to you guys? Went in the drive thru after a long time away for a ko ko bop and a rock bop and they were terrible. The rock bop chicken was so insanely old that it was hard to chew. Obviously this means that they aren't throwing the old chicken away after it's past its time and making new ones. Fried chicken is NOT GOOD once it gets old. Also the noodles were past their time too as they were completely soggy and just kind of fell apart. The ko ko bop chicken was okay but same thing with the noodles. You guys used to be so great before you went brick and mortar but now you have serious quality control issues and/or management issues. And then the guy at the window has the audacity to not only ask for a tip but also look at me like I killed someone when I refused. Skip this place and go somewhere else.

I only had a couple pieces of cabbage but I'm not a huge fan of warm lettuce/cabbage so that was fine by me. The noodles were good, beef was tender and the two sauces really work well together.

It's not my favorite place. I'm not real experienced in Korean food, but I can't imagine this is as good as it gets. I've been here a few times and the meat seems bland and then overwhelmed with hot sauce. Even at a medium level 3,4,or 5. I suppose you could dress up any meat with enough dressings. Either way, my stomach never seems to agree with this place. I will say the staff is always friendly and outgoing and both the restaurant and food trucks when out and about. read more

I went in tonight and ordered their September special which came with a choice of any CupBop, 3 dumplings or kimchi, and a drink for just over $11 The establishment itself is in a nice, easy to access location, and the environment was clean and modern. I gotta say the food was better than I expected for sure, and I love the array of sauces you can choose from. You get plenty, and the container it comes in is perfect for saving leftovers. The noodles paired very well with the chicken for sure. They could do with some new lids for their drink cups however, seeing as mine kept spilling. The rice was also kind odd sitting at the bottom of the bowl. I'd love to hav sauce out on that, and maybe that's an option I just don't know about yet. Still, I'll be happy to visit again sometime in the future. read more

I really enjoyed my visit to Cupbob (really hoping they come to Houston soon). I went soon after opening hours on a Saturday so there weren't many people seated and the restaurant was very clean and bright. The staff was very helpful as it was my first time and they explained what all of the options were and gave really great suggestions. I cant remember all that I put into my bowl but it was amazing. Fresh, quick and just enough sauce, no complaints on my end. If you're looking for a quick meal and are needing something a little different, Cupbob is a must visit for sure. read more

Cupbop is my favorite Korean food truck/restaurant in Utah! Let's start with the food, I would give it 6 stars if I could! My favorite is either the Hot Bop (spicy pork) or the Combo Bop, you can't go wrong with either. There is a various selection for vegetarians as well. I am infatuated with their secret sauces. The creamy mayo-Sriracha sauce along with their spicy sauce are crack for my stomach. I usually go with a spiciness level of 8, but if you're not a big fan of spice, I would recommend anywhere from a 1-5. Every time I come to Cupbop, the staffs are always so nice and enthusiastic. I especially love the workers in the food trucks, I look forward to hearing them yell out my order each time! read more

Huge. Great food. Quaint. Nice staff. Really enjoyed the food and experience…read more Went for lunch and was stuffed through dinner.

We left Katsu City very happy with our meal!…read more Service was very kind and so fast. We let them know we were going to be sharing a dish, and they brought out an extra miso soup for us free of charge. The portions here are VERY generous and 100% justify the price. And the quality is there too. I did see some signs that they a) now have a sushi menu and b) have 50% Friday and Saturday nights after 8:30 PM, but we did not get a sushi menu. Next time! They recently renovated their interior too. I would have taken photos, but we were reuniting with friends. We will be back.

Love this place. Ambience perfect for a ramen shop. Prices very reasonable. Noodles made in house…read more Very authentic. And the owner is a super good guy too. Definitely come here

It was a rainy night and so I came in search for comfort food. This did not disappoint. I dove in…read morehead first and forgot to take a picture before I demolished most of the ramen. The texture of the noodles was a little different than I am used to but I dig it. The cream tonkotsu flavor was great. I added an extra egg and it was just perfect. I can't believe I hadn't been here before this trip, but I'll be back again soon!

Fresh Noodles. We make two types of Noodles. The authentic Hakata Tonkotsu thin wheat noodle and wavy egg noodle.

Samurai Noodle - This is the point in our Tonkotsu broth where diligence comes to play. The broth we serve has bones that will break apart in your hand.

I don't think they have the corn last time I was there. It is a definite you have to try it. My…read moredefault here has always been the K-pop fries, but I've ventured out and tried the rice dish. It was great. I would definitely order it again when I'm doing takeout. They traveled really well which is something I always look for in Carrie out items. The guy at the counter was nice. I haven't been here in a while. When I walked in it looked the same. I had takeout but it would have been fine eating there. You can always find a spot to sit. I couldn't tell you more because I was in and out within 5 minutes.

Okay...I'll admit it's been a while since the last time I ate at Bumblebees, but hear me out: I…read morehaven't been able to get it out of my mind the last few months. Only reason I haven't been back is because eating out is a whole-family decision. What you get at Bumblebees is, in my opinion, a rare and odd fusion of foods that loosely fall into the realm of Bulgogi and Primanti Brothers (think fries plus bulgogi). The interior is appropriately dive-y. The service isn't surprising or especially fast (I recall it being respectable), but...that unique combination is only akin to having chili Mac (chili over spaghetti) from Hard times in DC. So...it's in that vein of highly flavored meat over a base starch that is cooked in such a way as to carry the flavor and not hamper it...every time I drive by, I wish my family liked spicy things more - it's totally worth it!!

Chuck-A-Rama Buffet

What? An AYCE Buffet that actually cares about quality? Amazing…read more Just about everything I ate was very good. I had mash potatoes and beef gravy, battered shrimp, coconut shrimp, salmon, fried chicken, roast beef, roast chicken, ham, scone (with honey butter, yum), roll (with cinnamon hone butter, yum), clam chowder, horchata. All were enjoyable. Well, the roast beef was a bit dry and a tad tough, the salmon was slightly overcooked (as expected) but was acceptable and a nice addition to their menu. The apple crisp was good as was the lava cake and rice pudding. Even the fries were good. I am impressed how good everything was. The service was very nice. They clear your table of dirty dishes and offer to get you refills of drinks. When you pay at the beginning, ask for some cash to tip them. If you forget, you can run your card again and get some cash to leave a tip on the table. They were very pleasant and even when passing you by, they smile. It was a nice restaurant, very comfortable. I had a booth. The tables are nice and conducive to large parties. My favorite AYCE restaurant so far! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

My family was excited to try the new breakfast buffet . We went on a Saturday & got right in . The…read moreserving area was clean . We were disappointed when most of the hot food was gone. We asked them for biscuits . They brought them out after we waited 10 mins & they apologized. They were super fresh & good but then they were out of gravy for the biscuits . They would bring out 5 pancakes at a time . Of course those would get taken really fast . They have several items to choose from but the kitchen could not keep up with the demand . Only good thing was everything was fresh because it would get taken so fast . People were standing around waiting for the kitchen to bring out food . Once the food was brought out it was immediately gone . It would be better if they prepared more food at a time . They do have an omelette station but that had a long wait too . They offer Pepsi products & Diet Coke .
