The service and ambiance are good. The food is tasty, with subtle Korean flavors. It's not authentic Korean food, but it's still enjoyable. The bulgogi and spicy pork are kind of close to the flavors you'd expect, but the japchae (glass noodles) is different. The noodles are black peppery compared to traditional Korean japchae, and there are no vegetables in the noodles. My recommendation is to ask for little sauce or no sauce, especially if you don't like your white rice drenched in sauce like mine. I recommend and I'd eat here again! read more

There are really only a few places you can order from DoorDash and the food still tastes close to how it does in the restaurant and I think Cupbop is one of them. The food was still warm when it arrived, and it was so yummy. I got the Ugly Bop level 6, and my husband got the Rock Bop level 4. The portions were a decent size and definitely filling. read more

I'm really disappointed with this order, especially because we spent about $40 including the tip for two meals. I asked for extra sauce, and when I brought it up, she told me that we had already asked for extra sauce. I said okay and then asked if I could get some sauce on the side for my potstickers. She said "sure," but the tone came across as a little condescending and made me feel uncomfortable for simply asking. Unfortunately, both of our meals had so much sauce that the rice and noodles were practically turned into soup. Everything was soaked and soggy, and we were unable to enjoy the meals the way we normally would. I honestly don't know if she was just having a bad day, and I don't want to be mean or overly critical, but this is the second time we've had an issue with our order while being helped by the same person. The extra sauce we asked for we didn't receive either. For around $40 including the tip, it was disappointing that both meals ended up being ruined by the excessive amount of sauce. I hope this can be taken as constructive feedback because we normally enjoy Cupbop and just wanted to enjoy the meals we paid for. read more

I got a Cupbop with beef and Krunch and it totally hit the spot. The beef tasted average, but the portion was generous, which I appreciated. The Krunch, though--SO good. There were only three pieces, but they were crispy, flavorful, and definitely the highlight. I just wish there were more! I'll definitely be getting Krunch again next time. I went with spice level 3 after trying level 7 last time (which was way too spicy for me). Level 3 wasn't spicy at all, so I'll probably try level 4 next time to find that sweet spot. I ordered take-out on a Friday night and ate it at home -- surprisingly, the Krunch stayed super crispy even after a while. Service was quick since there was no line this time, but I've been to this location before when it was busy and had to wait a bit longer. Overall, solid experience and worth coming back for. read more

This is the best cupbop in utah valley. The staff are always so pleasant to be around, the bowls are prepared perfectly, genuin outstanding.

The short gal taking orders was super rude and put upon - very unpleasant. Otherwise inspired me to order delivery if I ever decide to give this location my business again. Place was clean and the other people working there seemed to appreciate their employment. I ordered a beef bowl w/extra beef and a regular 3-piece mandoo. The to-go order had no utensils, no napkins, no sauce for the mandoo and no extra beef. read more

We love cupbop, they have an awesome deal going right now for 4 bowls! Highly recommend for something quick that is tasty and easy to grab for a couple of people! We like Bbop the best. Spice levels vary person to person so you can get the sauce on the side if you aren't sure. read more

I love this place so much so I'm more writing this hoping the owner sees and fixes whatever problems they have. I have been coming here since it opened. I called in the order and still waited a total of 45 min. Typically these things are made to order in front of you. I'm wondering if they need to back off online orders, not take call in orders, or something else? Getting a rush of orders happens and I don't want to hate on these kids too much but I just think something in their efficiency needs to be fixed. read more

Best CupBop experience I've had yet, and I've been having the occasional CupBop for years! Abby was so kind and helpful, and made an active effort to ensure my order requests were fulfilled. Food was delicious, portions were great, and the restaurant was nice and clean! I would recommend this location for all CupBop enthusiasts read more

Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup - Piggy bop with the perfect amount of sauce - Korean Near Me - American Fork, Utah

We came here on a Saturday night, for our first time. It's a smaller store but there's plenty of seating for the size and it seems like most people take it to-go. There was a line of about six people before us. The employees were super kind and answered all of our questions as we were leaning more about the menu. They said that the most popular was the Korean fried chicken. My husband and I both got that on top of the rice, cabbage, and noodles. I went with a level 5 spice. The chicken was really tasty, hot, and cooked very well. The flavor combination of everything with the sauce was so good. The leve 5 sauce was yummy and had the perfect amount of heat for me. The rice was cooked perfectly and the noddles were so good! I think that next time I will do a couple of things differently. 1) I'll do a two menu option bowl with veggies and meat or ask for a side of fresh veggies to get some greens and 2) I'll ask for all the sauce on the side. For my bowl, there seemed to be too much sauce so it did overpower the other flavors. I would rather have my sauces on the side to dip/pour myself. I will say that the restaurant was lacking on the cleanliness side, hence why I'm giving four stars. The tables were dirty with food from previous customers and where you order your food and see it all in front of you, was dirty as well. It looked like a lot of the meats and the potstickers weren't hot and had been sitting out for awhile too. That was one of the reasons we didn't order the potstickers. Overall, great flavor and super tasty. We will definitely be back! read more

Finally found our way to this place and it was the perfect spot for a quick lunch date! We were warmly greeted by happy, smiling, friendly employees behind the food counter and made us instantly feel welcome! I met Mike, the marketing director, who happened to be there, helping serve food, when we walked in. Being our first time, the menu was explained to us and they also suggested recommendations to our liking and preferences. I love that they have different sauce options for HEAT on your food. They even understood what "Utah" spicy was, VS. the rest of the world spicy, which was entertaining but they "got" me on that, such a breath of fresh air! We tried their chicken bowl and the beef bowl. They place the rice on the bottom of the bowl, then the noodles (I opted out of the coleslaw), and then your choice of meat on top, then glazed w/the sauce/heat of your choice. The ambiance was great. Cozy, welcoming, and clean. Next time you want a great lunch that's quick and filling, and yet tasty, come stop by, you'll thank me for it! read more

Ordered for the very first time at this location for a special occasion. I ordered the Cupbop with ugly chicken and doochi. The service was extremely fast and I should have known something was off. When I got my order and got to my destination to have lunch with my dad I was very very unhappy with what I had received. My order consisted of ONE, yes one piece of chicken that looked like the Koko chicken and my extra side of lime mayo was also missing. Next time I'll make sure to double check my order before leaving the store. read more

Wow, I love CupBop. I have a regular need fit a Korean food fix and CupBop hits the spot. I love the unique way that they combine familiar flavors. The b-bop is my go to and I usually go for a level four. I like my pork spicy so I go for a seven and I like me chicken sweet, usually a level two. Don't shy away from the ugly bop or any other newer offering and always get some mandoo, because they are delicious! read more

We were driving back to CO and the sign and idea won us over. The good: It came with a lid. They did not use a lot animal product They had a lot of hot levels Lots of carbs The people did not cough on the food. The bad: The lack of meat Lack of veggies The taste Ordered heat level 4 tasted like mayo Bottom Line this is trash. The bowl is rice and noodles a dusting of meat and whisper of veggies, the lid was nice since once I found the few pieces of meat I could cover the bowl of rice and noodles and set it in the back seat. This tasted like someone a long long time ago met someone who met someone who knew a guy who heard of a guy who had Asian food once. It should be a crime, not petty crime with a fine but a lock them up a crazy amount of time crime to sell this as food. I get it in some parts of Korea do not have a lot of animals or veggies but let's not pretend we are in a Korean jail. This is America, we want meat and veggies and carbs. read more

As soon as I walked in and start to read the menu my expectations started to lower. The good: the guys behind the counter, they were kind, no wait and decent service. The bad: ...everything else. The food was very greasy and lacked flavor. The menu options were very minimal. Honestly it tasted like gas station food and I'm nervous about how it's going to treat us in a few hours... TLDR: don't come here unless you want gas station food and one step up in ambiance. read more

I got the B Bop with Sweet style sauce no cabbage. Think of it as ramen noodles to the max! Perfect mixture for people who don't like spicy things but want some Korean bbq! Pleasantly surprised at this place because it was my first time going! I highly suggest this! The employees were wonderful. Parking is a little tricky when leaving but I definitely suggest going at least once! 10/10 read more

It delights my taste buds. Great food and workers. I am a tiny bit annoyed by the answering a question when paying. It suggests a tip. I was always taught you tip when you have a server. Never tip in a drive through or standing to order your food. Am I wrong? Still love CUPBOP read more

Oof, this one fell a little flat. We normally love this place and have visited a lot of other locations... It was 8 ish and we came in and ordered. They did a good job, but a bunch of people behind the counter looked like they had no clue. One gentleman behind the counter was half on his phone and half engaged. Maybe it was just late. They were out of cabbage... A central piece of their menu... nobody could have ran to the store and grabbed a couple.bags of shredded cabbage? They did a decent job of taking care of us, but a wait for mondu. The extra sloppy didn't include the typical creamy... It just was a bummer. The K-dog saved the day. It was ok... But I left a little.bummed. Especially for the final bill... Way too much for a less than stellar experience. read more

Good food and friendly employees. I had never had Cupbop so I'm glad I got to try it. The employee who helped me was friendly and walked me through the ordering process. I ordered a bowl with half steak/fried chicken, no rice and extra cabbage with the glass noodles. The steak was tender and the chicken was even crispy when I took it home to eat. There was a lot more chicken in my bowl than steak. I really liked both meats and would order them again. The noodles were soft and the cabbage was crispy. I ordered a 10 spice level. It was not spicy since there was very little sauce on the bowl. I had a hard time eating my bowl until I added extra sauce (from home - I added sriracha and teriyaki sauce since that's what I had) since everything was dry with the small amount of sauce I received. Next time, I will ask for more sauce and see if I can get some of sauces they put in the level 8 spice. My husband got the pork with a level 8 spice. His bowl had a more lot sauce on it. I liked the taste of his sauces that were in the bowl. Side note: Where my husband has had Cupbop before he said the amount of sauce on our food was hardly any compared to what he normally gets when he had it in the past. The sauce on the bowl definitely would make it taste better and not be dry. read more

Their food is unique and delicious! I can't handle spice; so I just get their B-Bop which is their Korean Style BBQ Beef with their sweet sauce and I really enjoy it. I also ask for no cabbage; cuz there's no need for the cabbage in my opinion. My husband got the Hot Bop which is their Spicy BBQ Pork with a #6 Spice level. He said that it's spicy, but not overly spicy and has a good flavor to it. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 is because where we sat; hadn't been cleaned and I was sticking to the table. It wasn't very pleasant. Other than that; quick and fast service with great food! read more

I went around 4 pm and was able to get front row parking which was nice since I had to unpack all 3 of my kids. There was a nice outdoor eating area with two tables and some cool lighting for nighttime. The inside was mostly blocked off for seating except maybe two or three dining tables for 2. It was a little difficult to hear the employee telling me the options over my kids and her mask but I was finally able to understand her and get my order in. I got the Rock Bop which is their tangy fried chicken and it was delicious! I had them too it with their #1 sweet sauce and siracha Mayo sauce. If I went there again I'd probably get all noodles instead of the noodles, rice, and cabbage mix. I loved how the ceiling was done, very unique for such a small space. read more

I ALWAYS love it when I get a chance to visit CUPBOP! today I ventured away from my standard chicken and beef and tried the new tangy fried chicken in my cupbop, and it was excellent! Also, if you can tollerate a bit of spicy kick, there is a special sauce they put on when you request an 8 or higher, and it's the bomb! I always go 8 and although the nose may run a bit, it's worth it EVERY time. Oh, and Volume? They give you soooo much food! sometimes I will take it home and dump it in a larger bowl just so I can mix evertyhing together before I dig in. it's overflowing the bowl and and the only thing keeping everything in is the lid. Anyway, can't say enought about this place. Loved it when they were a food truck, love it now as a brick and mortar. Couldn't happen to a better company. read more

Who doesn't loooove this place? ⁣We took advantage of the Elite perk a few days ago and indulged in this delish Korean BBQ in a cup! Susannah got half chicken / pork and Bryce had the Rock Bop (tangy friend chicken). Both were delicious, but I think we are now converted Rock Boppers for life.⁣ Bryce gets an 8 heat level, while I prefer more of a 5 or 6. We will always come back to Cup Bop! read more

If you're craving korean food and want something quick and delicious, this is the spot for you! I haven't seen many korean restaurants around here, but when I heard about the concept of this restaurant I was pretty intrigued. I got the combo bop with beef and spicy fried chicken and level 8 sauce. Both meats were delicious, and so were the glass noodles! I just wish they put more cabbage, as there were only like 2 leaves. Would definitely come back to try out more of the options! read more

I have been interested in eating here since there seems to be a following. I ordered the chicken with sauce #1. It was way too sweet for me. I could only stomach a few bites of this. Maybe If I tried another sauce, it wouldn't have tasted like a dessert. I love noodles, rice and chicken, but this dish did not work for me. I am surprised at how many positive reviews this place has. This is not a place that I would come back to and is a pass for me. read more

Food tastes good. But the hygiene is poor. Wearing gloves is nice but not if you're handling cash, touching your hair, touching your face, fixing your AirPods, and then handling food immediately after with no glove change. Might as well just leave your gloves off and wash your hands. read more

Very solid and respectable Korean inspired food game here. Decided to finally give this place a try after more than a year of living here. So glad I did despite the three-star reviews. 5/5 food: we tried the chicken cup as well as the tofu cup. The chicken is quality meat, low fat white chicken. The tofu is crispy and on point. I came back and got the tofu the next day. They also offer a children's cup with the same ingredients as the larger cups (just smaller), for less than $5. My little one loved it. The spicy mayo and teriyaki sauce they have, is the bomb. They are not cheap with it. 5/5 service: seen plenty of businesses fumble during coronavirus, not this restaurant. Both times I came in, the line was very fast and they had more than enough employees to quickly fill the orders. Clean restaurant. Social distancing was never a problem. No, they are still not accepting dining-in. But! They are accepting walk-in orders though. 5/5 price: not cheap, but on par with other Asian or Island style restaurants. When I got home I put everything from my cup onto a plate. The portions are very generous. It looked small because of the cup, so I was pleasantly surprised at how much food actually fits in there. I can definitely split into two meals. Although, that won't happen, too tasty. read more

Usually we LOVE this place!! But tonight not only was our food gross and tasted old. But in the mandoo we ordered there was a black hair wrapped around the end of one of then, which resulted in us throwing out all our food because we didn't trust it!

Didn't know what I was in for when I first walked in the door, but I was met with really kind staff (a little understaffed bc Covid) and because it was my first time they shouted "EXTRAS" and gave me a little extra portion of everything. The food is mouthwatering, delicious and very filling. Lots of different options like beef, tofu, pork and just veggies, everyone willlove it. The large selection of sauces with different spice levels is so fun to mix and match to see what combo is the most rad. Make sure you tell them you've never been there before and ask what they're favorites are, you won't be disappointed. I'd definitely recommend to anyone and everyone. "Shhhh... just eat" read more

great food! awesome customer service! this is one of my fave places to eat. I also get the kko kko bob

This rating is based on our most recent visit to CupBop, we have gone many times in the past and have only ever had positive experiences at their other locations and food truck events. Customer Service: 6/10 We went to the CupBop in American Fork to do this review, and there was a lot of miscommunication which resulted in a pretty bad customer service experience for us. They are only open for takeout right now, but we waited about an hour for our food. Many other customers waited a long time as well, and they ran out of many menu items multiple times during our visit. The Provo location always has great customer service and they are great at getting food out quickly, we would recommend the Provo or Orem location if you are wanting to try CupBop! Environment: 7/10 CupBop is only open for takeout right now, so there is no indoor seating at this time. At the American Fork location, there were a few tables outside that you could sit at. We would recommend ordering ahead online or ordering through a food delivery application. Menu: 8.5/10 They have chicken, beef and pork options as well as tofu and other vegetarian options! They have some GF bowls and it is all labeled pretty clearly on their menu. They also have different levels of spice that you can choose from and their heat scale is from 1-10! It is totally customizable so you can get whatever you prefer. Price: 9/10 You really get a sweet deal at CupBop. They pack so much food into the cups and they are all under $9! All bowls come with rice, noodles, and cabbage and then they are topped with your choice of meat or vegetarian options and then drizzled with a lot of their yummy sauce. Taste: 8/10 CupBop's noodles are awesome and they give you so much in each bowl! We ordered the Hot Bop and the Ugly Pop Bop and really liked them both! Their Rock Bop bowl is relatively new and it is definitely really popular, almost everyone in line with us ordered it. We got level 5 sauce on both bowls and it's the perfect level if you want some spice flavor but don't want to feel burning on your lips. If you want a little more heat we would recommend getting a level 7. Overall: 7.7/10 read more

My first venture to a brick and mortar CupBop and I was pleasantly surprised at how much better I like it than their trucks. I like their trucks, but this was a better experience. Place is clean, decorated all cutesy, and there wasn't a line around the block like their trucks. Walk to the counter, pick your bowl and heat, patiently wait for them to make it. (You don't have to be too patient, it is very quick.) Flavors were more consistent and I felt the food was prepared in less of a rush. Understandable since there is an actual kitchen and places to move around. read more

I ordered two identical cupbops. In the same order. No noddles. Extra sauces. Those were the only adjustments. All basic options when ordering. Instead, neither happened. It's this kind of issue I have with delivery orders. It's as through I can't get what I order unless I'm standing at the counter directing every step. Attention to detail, please. It's SO frustrating that a simple order with very few considerations cannot be made correctly. Please help this location meet the minimum standard requirement of getting the order right. I like Cupbop and really want to order more if I knew they'd get it right. read more

I've been here quite a few times, so it was no surprise that this time was just amazing as ever! It had been a while since the last time I had gone, and I generally get the ugly pop bop. However, this time around I decided to go with the Rock bop, which is Korean fried chicken with a tangy sauce added to it. I was incredibly impressed, the tanginess was exactly what it needed to make it the best it could be! I'll be ordering the Rock bop from here on out! read more

I've been a Cupbop fan for years. The rice and noodles are great, the proteins are all delicious (my favorite is the Hot Bop - fried pork) and the sauce heat is just right @ 7 for me. (I have a decent tolerance for heat, and it pleasantly burned my lips and throat. Any hotter would have made it unpleasant). It's a bit greasy, which I know is to be expected, but it feels like they could cut down on the grease a bit. But, if you're looking for tasty bibimbap in a cup, you can't go wrong :) read more

I eat out a lot. More than I should, and definitely more than is healthy. That being said, I experience a lot of different restaurants and service. This was the worst service I've experienced in a WHILE. Long line because the three (3!) workers up front were working on online orders instead. Waited for 20 minutes inside, braving the barrage of people who left after second guessing themselves and choosing another option. When I finally got to the front, the people preparing my food were basically whispering so I couldn't hear them if I wanted to. I get to pay. Finally. Guy answers the PHONE INSTEAD OF HELPING THE CUSTOMER IN FRONT OF HIM. I wait another 5 minutes while he deals with a customer service problem. I finally pay and get my food. At least my food was good. Management here must be at an all time low. Need better management and better training. I'll go to another cup bop from now on. read more
