A friend and I recently painted pottery at a nearby business and discovered Cupbop along the way. When we picked up our pottery creations, we met here for lunch. I was vaguely familiar with Cupbop, as I saw them on Shark Tank and one was being built near my old stomping grounds in Las Vegas. For my meal, I ordered the titular item. I selected "Rock" (glazed fried chicken) and "Mandoo" (fried potstickers) as my proteins. I'm a baby, so I did level two spiciness. I really liked the bowl. It was flavorful and filling. Plus, I found the price to be very fair. My friend also enjoyed her bowl. We both tried their Yogo Vera drinks and found them to be a hit too. I would definitely return in the future. read more

This is the worse food I have ever eaten after eating here. Panda express is better even though I don't like panda express !!!!!!!!!! go figure. The west gate location besides the gross food not even tempter hot & the place is not even clean the worker has hair not even tied back flying all over the place while doing the food for customers & the floor it very dirty & sticky gross not again will not go back read more

The food is AMAZING!! They also have extremely fast service. There is very pretty outside seating under misters as well.

Great good and atmosphere! Quick Korean food at a great price. I recommend this place to everyone who like Korean food or want to try it out . read more

This is a great concept. More expensive than it should be but it's good. I liked the tastes of the cabbage with the rice and slaw... the sauce on the slaw was good mixed with everything! I can see this being "street food"! It was easy. Quick. Tasty. There was really nothing special with the inside and not really decorative at all. It'd be really cute if it was set up like a real street vendor out of Korea. Anyway, overall, not a bad spot to grab some grub in a cup! read more

Great food, even better service. Dom and Akiya were very kind and gave us our drinks for free. Would come again.

I had family in town so I ordered the family pack. It was 6 bowls for like $50 something like that and it came with fried mandu (dumplings). I had a few in my family that can't handle any spice so I got it without sauce. They were not too thrilled with the bowls without sauce. I've been to other locations and so I know what I want. However, when I went this time, they had "Korean fried rice". Now, if you got that option, it only came with 1 meat option, but I need my protein so I paid for the surcharge so I could have 2 meat options. It adds so much flavor as opposed to just white rice with the noodles. Would I eat here again? Obvi bc it was not my first time. Service was very friendly. It was a little bit slow but tbh, the family in front of us ordered multiple bowls and I did as well for my family and they only had 2 people there. So, bring real about it, I didn't expect things to be super fast if they probably haven't worked in a high volume kitchen. They did try though, so I was unbothered. It looked fairly clean inside. I also ordered the Korean corn dog for us to try. It was only okay. I think they should just stick to the bowls. If they want to include more options for sides, they should have kimchee or steamed egg or something imo. It's Korean fast food. Good concept, great when you don't have time to sit down to a full Korean meal. Yes, I'll be back when I'm nearby. No pictures bc I was starving and ate like I haven't eaten in days. read more

amazing service food was great customer service was amazing interior was well cleaned even took our old coupons for a free cupbop instead of charging would definitely come again! read more

Upcharge of .85 for the beef bulgogi but the bulgogi was so tough w lots of gristle couldn't chew it, can't swallow it, had to spit out 95% of the serving. So .85 cents for nothing. If you're serving meat, charging extra on top at least make it edible. Tried a sample of chicken, it was rubbery. Spicy pork was the most edible. But this quality is all on a very low bar, they cover it w thick sweet or spicy sauces to mask it. Pass. read more

Service was great. The food not so much. Nothing seemed fresh. The kimchi was also off tasting. They actually had a full kitchen that was not being used. All my food/ingredients were premade and sitting in warmers. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place. I am obsessed. I ordered the Combo Bop Bowl with Chicken and meat. I ordered Level 1 and 2 sauce *chef kiss*! I never have anything to complain about my orders here because they hit the spot every single time. I also ordered a size of mandoos- also amazing! Great for a grab and go or stay and eat! 10/10 recommend! read more

Cupbop is an interesting concept: takeaway bibimbop in a paper cup. And it works just as well in execution. Nestled among the shops and restaurants at Westgate, counter service spot isn't fancy: a few tables and stools are there for dining in but the atmosphere is indistinguishable from any other fast casual restaurant. Walk up to the counter and build your order: a protein (from a mix of BBQ chicken/pork, fried chicken, beef, tofu, veggies, or a combo of two) + sauce (a Japanese mayo + Korean chili blend, ranging in heat level from 1 to 10), served with noodles + cabbage on a bed of white rice. I went with a combination fried tofu + vegetables in a level 9 sauce. The cup was surprisingly good for the fare, and the ingredients were fresh. The heat level was much toned down, though: a level 9 was just a notch above mild. read more

Service: they were nice I mean nice enough to give us free drinks and pot stickers. 4/5 Food: 1/5 Combo bop: 1/5 Ugly bop:1/5 it was sooooooo mid maybe because me and my girlfriend have a more refined palette so we appreciate freshly cooked food when we do get it. Ambiance:4/5 its a nice establishment not going to lie but it's not for us maybe for some high school kids that are into bts read more

First let me start by saying the food is really good! But the reason for 3 stars is you charged $12.95 each for our bowls, and I had very little meat protein. Literally 4 small bite size pieces of the chicken. And not much beef. For the price, should have a somewhat decent amount of protein on there. It's too bad. Because that is how places keep customers coming back. I will not be back. read more

Went here for the first time today, Kevin behind the counter was super cool, polite, and friendly. The store was very clean and organized. The food taste amazing and super good. We got a mix of beef, chicken, and mandoo. Would definitely order again. read more

First time visiting and Chris was amazing! He was patient with all of our questions! Highly recommend this place and Chris!

Yummmmmm. What a tasty surprise. I thought a bowl would be small so I did the combo and ate way too much! The cabbage and the glass noodles were outstanding. I loved the chicken and the pork! Wow highly recommend and I will be back in a few days! read more

First timers here. They gave us free potstickers. We were greeted by a friendly staffed group. They explained how it worked, rice, cabbage, noodles and protein and then picked the level of heat. For me it plain sweet, no spice. My hubby went to level 8 which was slightly too much for him. He said 7 would be better. I would have liked to try at least a little spice. Maybe next time. Overall pretty decent. I went for the kids portion which was plenty for me. I can't share because of my sensitivity to spicy food. read more

First off, the customer service was great. I was greeted at the door, it took a minute to order because they ran out of noodles but the guy apologized for the delay. My poorly review focuses more on the establishment and the uncleanliness. I read other reviews before arriving and I hoped my experience would be different but it was not. The counters were dirty. The vegetables were dried up in the pan, the noodles pan which was emptied showed dried noodles stuck to it. When you are standing at the cash register and you look back into the kitchen area, you could see a filled mop bucket by the prep table. Ewww. One of the server, served with only one glove on. Sauce spilled on the side of my bowl and he used the same rag he just used to wipe the counter off with to wipe the side of my bowl with. I had to tell him stopped because that is so unsanitary and plain disgusting. The place was overall dirty. I spent about $13 on a bowl. I only took a couple of bites into it before throwing up. I had lost my appetite for it. read more

TBH I was pretty disappointed with CupBop. I originally came here because the photos on yelp make the food look good but the chicken just was not it. When you get in the restaurant, it's an assembly line order (like Subway/Chipotle) where you pick what you want in your bowl. My bowl came with chicken, rice, noodles and vegetables. The noodles and veggies weren't bad but the chicken just wasn't yummy. Little bummed. There's a bunch of tables and chairs to enjoy your meal at inside the restaurant. Some of the staff was friendly and some seemed like they didn't want to be working. read more

A Flavor Explosion in Every Bite - Cupbop Delivers! I had an amazing experience at Cupbop, and I can't stop raving about it! From the first bite, I was hooked--this is Korean street food at its absolute best. I went with the rock and krunch chicken and it was perfect The tender, marinated chicken had just the right kick of heat, balanced by the glass noodles, cabbage and rice. The sticky, savory-sweet sauce tied everything together, and the fluffy rice soaked up all those delicious flavors. Peter and Hailey added extra Mandu since it was our first time. They do a great job of making sure we had a great experience. read more

Pleasantly surprised at the taste of the noodles. This is like a chipotle for Korean food. You pick an option and they custom build your bowl. Good portion for the price. You get to choose the spice level too. Gluten free options are available as well. Choose from meat to chicken to tofu to veggie options. read more

First time visiting this spot and it was delicious and a good mix of flavors. Customer service was amazing. Would recommend trying out this place. read more

food was incredible Dominic the employee was very nice and helpful. Wanted to make sure to give him props!

Service is quite nice and the portions are good but the food? Kinda meh.i expect more flavor from Korean fare. And the kimchi was a bit on the fishy side. read more

Never again. The service was well explained and outstanding. However on the other hand those familiar with Montezuma will get the gist.

Staff was super friendly and very helpful!! You can pick from rice and/or Japchae noodles or half and half. Afterwards you pick your protein (chicken, beef, spicy pork and veggies) and spice level. Don't forget to get your fried dumplings (mandoo). read more

This was my boyfriend and I fist time trying out cupbop. Placed an order over the phone and Dom was absolutely amazing he had awesome customer service and kindly helped us place our order! On top of that the food was better then we expected! We will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

My son and I were in the area and wanted to grab something quick. This is newer in Westgate and was not busy. We ordered a combo bop with Korean style fried chicken and bbq chicken and also an ugly bop which is just the Korean style fried chicken. We got a level 4 and a level 5 spicy. They come with rice, cabbage and sauce and are priced well. The fried chicken was crispy and had a sweet and hot flavor. We loved it. I didn't get the rice but it's just a plain white rice. The cabbage adds an extra crunch and I'll get extra of that next time. They also come with sweet potato noodles which were divine! Overall a great spot to get great fast Korean meal and we will be back! read more

Taylor was amazing!!!! She was very nice and patient when we were ordering I highly recommend this spot to try out

Be VERY careful eating here. Today I watched a younger white girl working the front register grab a new bowl of hot rice with a dirty towel (presumably to protect her hands from heat), she then emptied the old rice onto the new rice. Then she put the towel on the dirty counter, then PLACED THE DIRTY TOWEL ON TOP OF THE NEW RICE to grab it from the top and place it into the warmer. The dirty towel had rice sticking to it from it touching the new rice. She looked at it, shrugged, then walked to the back. Service was slow, the three young women working the front did care about sanitary practices, and the food was OK. Not worth the wait unless you're willing to risk food poisoning from where ever that towel has been. I'm really surprised she didn't wipe her face with that towel then continue on. read more

Taylor is amazing she welcome us in. I am very happy she made our food I recommend this place

After seeing this all over social media, I had to see what the hype was all about. First impression when I walked into this location - dirty. There were a few customers eating by the windows but also a bunch of empty tables with food scraps and drink cups just laying around. No one was behind the cashier or food prep area. I think the GM was sitting at one of the empty tables and shouted some sort of greeting before a lady comes out from the back. I went with the two protein combo and asked what options I had. The lady explained it came with rice, noodles, cabbage, and my choice of bulgogi, spicy pork, or chicken - none of it looked appetizing. The bulgogi (beef) and chicken was sitting in some sort of water or broth and the spicy pork looked like ground pork. I went for the bulgogi and boiled chicken with noodles and veggies. For the price point, it was decent. But I expected the meat to be actually Korean BBQ and not just boiled meat. A friend of mine joined me after I had finished eating and he had the option to choose the fried chicken nuggets as a protein option. I wasn't given that option when I ordered mine. The fried chicken is actually pretty tasty so I might have to try that next time. We were sitting there for a good 30/40 minutes and our table was just filthy. There were about 5 employees behind the cashier at this point with no line and the staff didn't bother coming around to clean our table or any of the other unoccupied tables. If you're looking for a quick bite, definitely try it but. But this is far from Korean BBQ in a cup. read more

Cupbop meals are served in a paper bowl and lid so that you could mix your meal up. All meals come with rice, cabbage, and noodles at the bottom of the bowl with your choice of meat or veggies and choice of hot sauce. There are additional rice or meat extras you could add. And to make your Cupbop a meal, you could upgrade to fried potstickers and a drink. Besides soda, they have ice teas (although only water came out ) or bottles Korean drinks. I didn't really like the Cupbop Sauce because it had too much of a mayo flavored cream mixed in with a hot sauce. The restaurant doors were open so it was a bit drafty and our napkins almost flew off the table. Lots of seating options at tables, islands tables or outside tables. The floors inside the small restaurant weren't clean. Looked dirty and sticky. The drink machine should be fixed so that raspberry ice tea came out instead of water. read more
