Combo Bop (Piggy Bop and B Bop) with 7.5 sauce
Lori L.

I ate here with my mom, two teens, and young adult nephew and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and would definitely go back. We have all had Korean food other places, but we are by no means connoisseurs--we want our food to be good and we all felt like our bowls/ramen/mandoo were very good. The staff working were very friendly, attentive, and prepared and served our meals in a timely manner. We have no complaints and look forward to going back.

B Bop

I love cupbop when they're good, but they're completely inconsistent and that doesn't matter whether I get it in person, order it to pickup or order it online. Sometimes it's amazing, sometimes the Kdog is burnt, sometimes the noodles are hard, sometimes they forget the sauce. But when it's good, it's amazing!

The 930 niku ramen is the best ramen I've ever tasted. I do door dash because I live far. I never had a problem until they got my order wrong twice this past year. I talked to a girl Jaqueline and she said they could remake the whole order. I door dashed again and they forgot my side. When I called she said she "could have sworn she put them in there." Talked to the older manager and told her what happened she said to come in and they'll give it to me. I called before we went in there and talked with Jaqueline and she said they didn't write anything down but I could come in and they would do it. I come in but Jaqueline is gone for the day I talk to a manager Amanda and she was like let me call the other manager because basically Jaqueline doesn't have authority to correct their mistake they made. I had to talk to the manager over the phone and tell her everything all over again. She said ok they'll remake the one order and give me the side. I gave the phone back to Amanda and she just walked back to the back not saying anything to us. The cashier was like can you guys move so we can help the other people in line. We had no idea what was going on because Amanda didn't say ok we'll get that right out to you, she had barely looked at the receipt to go off of. After cashier was done with that customer I walked up and asked her what Amanda is going to do because she didn't say what she was going to do and my husband still needed to order his food. He ordered and we went to go sit down and then Amanda went and brought me my food in a to go bag without saying anything. I looked at it and the order was still wrong. So my husband went to go deal with it as I was tired of explaining it to them. They changed it then forgot the side again. It was a horrible experience! I pay $50**+ dollars for them to door dash it and they failed to make sure everything is correct then treat you as if you're the problem. Amanda silent treatment was rude, the older manager and Jaqueline were ok. I'll order the ramen again because it's my fav but going to have to call them every time to tell them to make sure it's correct. If you don't want to remake the order don't mess it up. I pay $50 every time it's not my fault you guys don't get it right!

This is a bit of a biased opinion. I just want to put that out there right away. As a Korean, if something is advertised as Korean, I expect there to be at least somewhat of a resemblance to Korean food. This is pretty far from it. If you take a look at the picture I posted of the 2 bowls we got, it's pretty clear that this is not Korean food. Unfortunately, I didn't think it was that tasty either. Most to all of the flavor came from the very strong sauces they douse the food with. If you're looking for the equivalent of Burger King in "Korean" food form, this may satisfy you but do not expect anything close to actual Korean food.

The B-Bop cupbop bowl
Shalil J.

Stopped in again to one of my new favorite Korean places for lunch. As always, we were greeted by the friendly staff upon entry. My sister was here trying it out for the first time, and the lady taking our order did a great job explaining how the cupbops were built and suggestions on what she enjoyed. I ordered a B-bop, which is the korean bulgogi cupbop, while my sister ordered the pork bop, and her fiance tried the Ramen for the first time. Everything came out quickly but tasty! The cupbop is essentially sweet potatoes noodles (which for someone who doesn't enjoy the taste of sweet potatoes is very tasty and doesn't taste too sweet potatoey) with rice and cabbage and your protein as well. I enjoyed a spice level of 6 though a suggestion. Ask for a little extra spicy mayo! It really turns up the flavor. The pork bop was just as good. I didn't try the ramen, but I was told it tastes very good. It was filling and tasty, and everyone left with a smile. We will definitely be back! Side note, there is seating in the restaurant. It's a bit smaller, but the few times I've gone, there's always room to sit.

Wire and hair found in same order

I'm not generally one that uses Yelp to write poor reviews. I'd rather shine on great businesses. Unfortunately, I had an experience today with this Cupbop location that I feel needs to be shared in concern of patron safety and welfare. I ordered two bowls through Doordash pickup and upon starting to eat, I found a metal wire like object in my food. It looks like part of a metal dish scrubber or something of that nature (see photo). What's most concerning is that had this been swallowed, it could cause severe bodily injury. I can't help but feel sick to my stomach thinking of what could happen to myself or someone else because of this carelessness. To make matters worse, my partner found a long strand of hair in his bowl not even moments later. We couldn't believe that we hit the poor food safety double whammy. It would be almost laughable if it wasn't just utterly repulsive and just outright dangerous. As someone who worked in food service for many years, I recognize that mistakes can happen, but restaurants need to be held accountable for their oversights. That said -- these kinds of incidents, especially two seperate occurring ones in a single order, are just evidence of blatant disregard for food safety and there is zero excuse for it.

Combo Bop, Mandoo
Jessie W.

Cupbop has become one of my new favorite fresh-fast-foods. I seriously love the variety of ingredients, the different sauce selection and it is so filling for the price - I usually get at least two meals out of one! I have tried several of the meat options and usually get a combo with at least two - there has not been one yet that I haven't liked. I usually get one of the more mild sauce combos, but sometimes I go for the special 7, which is not that spicy, but has a nice kick. Their dumplings are also worth grabbing and sharing amongst your group (or not :). Cupbop is an awesome option for a quick meal that doesn't feel heavy/greasy/frozen - I'll be back - a lot!

This Cupbop is conveniently located in the big strip mall (in between First Watch and Hu Hot, for easier reference). They must have been selling out Cupbops all day long as by the time I arrived, the colorful yellow cups have been replaced by a regular white cup. It is less photogenic, but what surprised me was the size of the "cup", it is essentially a bowl! I went in thinking one little cup each won't fill up myself and the hubby, but their generous portions make for a fulfilling meal. I chose the Rock Chicken for my freebie and ordered a Combo (beef and pork) to go. Both are very flavorful (only asked for level 2 - baby spicy) I wonder if the Rock in "Rock Chicken" is from "Rock Sugar"? The look and texture sure remind me so. LOVE LOVE LOVE the glass noodles and was secretly wishing the entire thing was filled with them (instead of a layer of rice). When I go back next time I'll ask for more noodles and no rice, whatever extra cost it will be. I also plan to check out their ramen. I mean, they do glass noodles so well, right?! The staff is cordial. I especially enjoyed watching them squeeze the sauce bottles to top off the beautiful cup (bowl) creation!

B Bop Combo
Dylan S.

Cupbop has always been a place I've been wanting to try. I love Korean BBQ.. so having this concept is great. Once arrived I was immediately greeted and welcomed from friendly staff. Menu is largely displayed on the wall so it's very easy to read. Overheard staff and management having great conversations with each other which shows they enjoy their job. Leads to great customer experience. Food came out REALLY fast. I ordered the B Bop. Consisted of korean beef, cabbage, noodles and rice. I opted for the combo and received 3 dumplings and a drink. Dumplings were crispy and juicy! I wanted more! The bowl was filled top the top. They weren't stingy with the protein. I chose the medium sauce top it off. Everything tasted great. Size portion looks small but it is very filling. Can be a little messy to the amount of food in the bowl but flavor was great! Located in shopping strip tucked away in corner. Good location for high traffic. Inside was very clean and nothing visually needed to be addressed.

Over all I had a great time!! I went to the Arvada location and arrived around 1pm, a little after the lunch rush. The location was easy to find! As I walked in there were signs asking you to wear a mask. They also had social distancing stickers on the floor. I walked right up to the counter! And was greeted with a big hello! The employee asked how they could help me. I had never been there before so I was excited to see what all was included in a bowl. I ended up getting the B Bop without the veggies and the sweet sauce, level 1. I was served immediately! I got mine to-go so they include napkins and utensils! I thought the flavor was great! The temperature of the food was perfect too! The level 1 sauce had a after small kick to it. The rice noodles were great! And the rice at the bottom! I really enjoyed the experience over all and I can't wait to go back! It's so close to my work :)

Second time here and my girlfriend has been obsessed with it. It's a very filling and amazing meal. They provide a load of meat and sauces that I really enjoy.

Excellent concept, but poor execution. Overcooked rice and overcooked chicken in the rock bowl, unfortunately.

The experience here is exactly what I want from Korean BBQ: lively, satisfying, and easy to settle into for a while. The cheese corn is an absolute must and easily one of the best sides on the table. The steamed egg was fluffy and comforting, and the meats were the real highlight. The pork belly was rich and well cut, the bulgogi was flavorful, and the short ribs were tender and cooked beautifully. Add a few bottles of soju and suddenly you've lost track of time in the best way. This is the kind of place you go with friends, order generously, and just enjoy the night.

The quality of the meat is good, the portions were big enough for the two of us, but definitely would not be enough if there were more in our party. This isn't an AYCE place like many other Korean BBQ restaurants, so expect to pay per meat selection. The prices are comparable to other non-AYCE restaurants in Aurora though. Total for the two of us: about $200, which included the tip. We dined on a weeknight so there wasn't a wait but I assume there is one on the weekends since the restaurant is fairly small. The service was fast and friendly and they checked on us often. Brush up on your parallel parking since only street parking is available.

Either the broths lacked flavor, the meats weren't fresh enough, or the overall experience just didn't live up to the hype. At one point I genuinely thought maybe hotpot in Colorado just wasn't for me. But my friends, who absolutely LOVE this place and come here all the time, basically forced me to give it a try, and wow, I'm so glad they did. From the first bite, I could immediately tell this place was different. The broth was rich, flavorful, and comforting in a way that makes you want to keep eating even after you're already full. Everything tasted fresh, high quality, and actually well-prepared. The meats, veggies, noodles, and sides all complemented each other perfectly, and the whole experience just felt cozy and satisfying. Another thing that really stood out to me was the service. Every server I've interacted with here has been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They genuinely make the experience even better because the atmosphere feels warm and inviting from the moment you walk in. You can tell they care about making customers feel comfortable and taken care of. Now it's literally all I think about whenever the weather starts getting cool outside. Like the second there's even a slight chill in the air, this place immediately comes to mind. It's become one of those comfort meals that you randomly crave late at night because nothing else compares. The kind of food that warms you up completely and makes you leave feeling happy and full. Honestly, this place changed my opinion on hotpot in Colorado completely. If you've been disappointed by other hotpot spots around here like I was, PLEASE give this one a chance because it is on a completely different level.

At least for lunch combo, the thoughtful assortment of main dish and side dishes as well as soup of the day are very satisfactory. Their food is little bit more on a savory side compared to other Korean restaurants who use too many spices. Before I met Baekga, i was pretty disappointed in local franchises of Korean eateries in Colorado, but Baekga not only they have very calm and toned down atmosphere for pleasant meals, it is the venue I would actually bring my visitors to. The location is little far for me to explore their dinner menus but I would love to when I am nearby next time. Champagne kimchi was inspiring. I never had any kind of Kimchi taste like this. I really praise for the creativity. It would be a good pair with a variety of food such as charcuterie board, katsu, sausage dish, barbecue, and simple with wine! I personally liked Dakgangjeong, Beef radish soup (soup of the day), and champagne kimchi from my visit. Frankly, this venue maybe a polarizing Korean restaurant especially for Korean natives, but I personally think this venue deserves more recognition compared to other local Korean franchise in Denver/Aurora who just serve the food items but not the sincerity and/or creativity.

It was very tender and fell off the bone very easily. The La galbi was so good and flavorful. When it's mixed with the onions and veggies and rice, everything tastes really good combined. I would skip on the pancakes because they were a little burnt. We saw a different one come out and it was also burnt. Otherwise, eat around because it's quite flavorful.
