Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup - Their menu - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Quick service Korean BBQ and ramen. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, but I think they gave me the niko ramen. It was tastey and reasonably priced for quick ramen compared to other spots. The ramen only comes with half an egg which I think is odd. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Its quick service, people are in and out. They don't have ramen spoons which is my only real complaint. read more

Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup - Ramen - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

My daughter has celiac disease. The staff was very helpful in educating us on her options (which there were many). She enjoyed her lunch and did not have any negative side effects. All of their sauces are gluten free and there is a GF fryer for their chicken. I had the ramen and it was delicious. All of their staff were very friendly and helpful! read more

If I could've done 4.5 stars, I would have. But figured especially for a chain, I'd give them the benefit and round up the rating. It's a simple menu here with good choices of protein, but limited otherwise. However, it works. The value you get I think these days is hard to be beat here. $12ish for a very filling meal. Taste was good, and I'll definitely be back to try some of the other options available. read more

I mean if you love sauce rice and protein this place is incredible. So much flavor. 10/10 baby

A big meh. 8 pieces of cold, overfried chicken, instead of salad greens it's cheap iceberg lettuce, the stale tortilla chips really made the meal though. The dressing and noodles were ok. A very unappealing bowl-look at Cava, SweetGreens, Mendocino Farms; this is really pathetic compared to other fast casual salads!!! read more

Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup - Salad Bop - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Extremely underwhelming. Saw pics from other yelp users and the protein portions looked good. We ordered the a cupbop with ugly fried chicken and got 6 balls of chicken and black garlic ramen. Ramen noodles as terrible. After getting our food I noticed that you can make a combo for $1.50. None of the employees mentioned that to us and when I asked if I could add the combo and they said they weren't able to. Not sure what's the ugly chicken was made of but I'm pretty sure it wasn't just chicken. Looked like a mixture of chicken and rice? Restaurant was clean and had good lighting. read more

The food here was yummy. The service is set up like a Chipotle where all the ingredients are seen behind glass and you can pick and choose what you like. On the menu, they have several predetermined choices or you can create your own. The dining area is casual where you could bring a family with young children. I thought the prices were reasonable, and the food was good. read more

First time here and really enjoyed it! Pretty simple menu of types of bowls to choose from including any customization you want. They have pre-selected bowls but also have the autonomy to choose your own ingredients. On my visit I had the chicken bowl with extra protein and made pretty spicy. This bowl had great flavors and really enjoyed the spice level. I also paired mine with pot stickers that were also delicious. Restaurant was super clean and plenty of seating. Employees were so friendly and truly over the top nice. Including a small celebration for being a 1st time customer. Will for sure be coming back. read more

The food was really tasty and the price was good, but I would say this specific location needs some work to be a five star experience. You could tell that the manager is really great but that the rest of the staff is maybe going through training. I'm not sure how long this location has been open! They also did not have a working bathroom, and it felt like the space was a little messy. We dined in because we were just there for a pitstop, but I think next time I get this food, I would do it as takeout! I would highly recommend the Korean corndog, check out that cheese pull!!! read more

After checking out the CupBop food truck, then coming here for an Elite event - I was hooked. So after a meeting nearby left my tummy grumbling, I knew just where to go. SPACE: Located off of I225 and Colfax, CupBop is in a great spot for a fast casual meal. I think the space was previously a Which Wich. There's still lots of white subway tile, stainless steel, and bright pops of yellow throughout the dinning area. SIPS: Cupbop offers a variety of the standard soda and tea options, and a small cooler features some Korean beverages for those feeling more adventurous. SUSTENANCE: This is where CupBop truly shines. I've had a couple of the bowls and all I can say is: YUM! I think my favorite has to be the Mandoo Bop, because I am an absolute sucked for pot stickers and this bad boy comes loaded with them. The glass noodles, rice, and cabbage mix are delicious. CupBop uses a 10 point scale to represent their spice levels. I usually choose something towards the middle of the scale, maybe a smidge higher when I'm feeling extra spicy. SERVICE: Each time I've been here, everyone has been super friendly and helpful. My order is always perfect and utterly delicious. CupBop is definitely a tasty spot in Aurora. I'll absolutely be back. read more

It's good but I don't think they give you enough meat for the amount that they charge. I have been to other similar restaurants and have had better quality of food for the price. But if you are looking for some fast Korean BBQ it is ok. read more

The first time I tried it was back during a Yelp Elite experience and I haven't been back due to the drive. But my sister saw CupBop on Shark Tank and we finally made a stop for lunch. I like that there is a lot of options but it's not overwhelming. I didn't see the ramen option and would have ordered the ramen instead so I have to be back. The interior is nice and it's small but most people order and leave from what I observed while waiting for our food to be prepared. The parking lot can be hectic because there are so many places to eat in this plaza. When we walked in, they played Stray Kids "Hellevator" and IU "Eight (prod. By Suga)" so already winning brownie points in my book. The food was okay. The Kko Kko Bop Stick was delicious and my favorite part of the meal. There was some chicken in our rock bop that were dry. The fries were good and the noodles were delicious. Maybe order beef or something else that's not fried chicken or we just had an odd batch. It was still good and edible. read more

We got it to go, so I can't judge on the atmosphere or actually eating there. Our food was really good. I do wish there were a few more pieces of meat but was still happy with the portions and it was all really good. It stayed fresh while getting it to go. read more

Overall... meh. It's definitely a unique concept and it's awesome to see Korean food coming into the mainstream, but the execution isn't great and could be much much better. The positives of this experience is that the food is customizable and you go on a tablet and choose what you want. Unfortunately the negatives truly outweighed the good. I got the kid size cupbop with bulgogi. The rice, was hard and it felt like it was in the rice cooker for hours and hours or they didn't add enough water to it which caused it to get hard. They also pretty much covered the entire bowl with sauce, which was way too much and resulted in a watery mess. I don't think I can give this place another shot. It sucks that when we move these popular foods to the mainstream in a fast food capacity, the quality just goes down and especially with the price you pay. read more

Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

I am a regular at this location I buy cupbop 1-2 per week for the past year or so. Sadly, the quality has gone significantly down and I am sadly slowly and slowly going there less and less. They have become very stingy with the sauce and the toppings. There's a full bowl of noodles and rice but barely any toppings. They don't put enough sauce to cover all of the rice and noodles because it's just a lot of them and less of everything else so you get just dry rice chunks in there. They also stopped doing the full hot dog corn dogs which seems a little odd for a CORN DOG in general. I talked to the manager and she said it was a corporate decision to do that. Well not such a great decision as those used to be great but sadly now we only get half a hotdog corn dog.... Overall I love cupbop but it's not what it used to be a year ago. I'm not sure if it's the new hires that aren't as good at making the bowls or if corporate things have changed but it's 100% clear quality is very low now. read more

Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup - Combo bop with Rock Bop and Veggie Bop. As I said not enough sauce so dry rice in there. - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

CUPBOP reminds me of a Chipotle-style KBBQ bowl if you will. You have several options of different types of meat you want. Your base can be an assortment of rice, sweet potato noodles, or salad. They also have gluten-free options just FYI! There is also a spice level you will choose that ranges 1-10. FAVE ITEMS: I opted for the Combo Bop which is 20 cents pricier than the most expensive (i.e. Rock Bop or Ugly Bop), and decided to get Rock Bop and B Bop. Personally definitely preferred the B Bop which is like bulgogi. Rock Bop had this interesting texture of chicken -- majority of it was fat rather than actual meat which I didn't like. For base, I opted for sweet potato noodles and salad which was a good refreshing combination. I got spice level 5 which was perfect. SERVICE: quick, you place your order and it comes out within 5 minutes. PARKING: in a huge plaza so parking is not really a problem. PRICE: decent price at about $10 per bowl, pretty good! read more

When something has noodles, rice, meat, sauce, and veggies in a bowl, it's gotta be a hit. There was a similar place like this on my college campus and I thought it'd be nice to order one to go as my dinner at the airport. It didn't disappoint, and was similar to ones I've had before. I just wish the price was a tiny bit lower for the rather medium sized bowl ($13 after tax) that you get but it's not bad, just not the best value / satisfaction I've seen at other places but then again inflation is everywhere. Stop by if you're craving Korean inspired tastes with a very casual setting! read more

If I wasn't in a hurry, I would've taken it back. The food tasted as if it had been sitting all night, in the open on a countertop. The meat was dry and just shy of cold. It made me wonder if my food was served from the batch they kept for those who didn't tip you at the register I'm a big tipper when it comes to dine-in service, but there's something disturbing about ordering takeout and being faced with the option to tip before I've received anything, including a pleasant smile. Perhaps this place was set up where your tip was a direct correlation between the freshness and temperature of the food. I don't know, but it's hard to believe they would still be in business serving everyone this quality of food. "Update to my previous review: I've been experiencing stomach pain for the past few days, which I suspect might be due to a bacterial infection from eating at this place. Currently on the path to recovery." read more

Avoid at all cost. Not sure if this place is a chain, but this location was terrible. My first and very last time trying CUPBOP. First, the staff member behind the counter making the cups had no idea what they were doing. After checking my to-go order at home, my entire order was wrong. I asked for no spice level on my dish, only to see bright red siracha sauce on it. I also asked for a beef dish and ended up with chicken breast. Lastly, the ingredients that made up the dish were not fresh and old. I found crunchy old rice at the bottom and the whole meal was disgusting. The side "karage" chicken is more of a Panda express type orange chicken mess. Do not eat here. read more

I would give this location an A for effort, but the flavor profile is far from what I was expecting. As a Korean, I would probably not return. We ordered the black garlic pork ramen in where the noodles weren't cooked fully and broth didn't have the umame that would be expected from a black garlic pork ramen. The cup bobs we tried were the B bop and rock bop. For the chicken, the chicken seemed like it was ground chicken with flour, which gave the mcdonalds texture. The bulgogi was mediocre. For individuals that haven't had korean food prior, I would just state that this isn't what Korean food is supposed to be like. read more

Listen to all the other warnings on here! We needed something close to the Children's Hospital and Korean BBQ sounded great! The best way to describe this place would be if Wendy's made Chinese food. Like the other reviews, my husband also said it took awhile to get the attention of an employees. My husband had maybe five bites before calling it quits, and I had half, although..I now very much regret it. I hope this helps other people to not make the same mistake we did! read more

Not bad, wish there were more ways to customize the bowl (like Chipotle, Cava, etc). I'm vegan and got the tofu bowl, they fried the tofu fresh and it was really good. It came with noodles, rice, and cabbage. But I wish I could have added more toppings and customized it more. Employees were nice and greeted me when I came in. The sauce was a little confusing--on the website when you order online it says "vegan-spicy" and "vegan-sweet" as the vegan sauce options. In store though, I was told none of the sauces are vegan but I could get a gluten free one. I guess people don't realize--gluten free is for celiacs/can't eat wheat, vegan is for people who don't eat animals. I confirmed that the gluten free one didn't have any dairy or eggs etc, but still not confident that it was vegan. Kind of wonder what I would have gotten if I'd ordered online and selected one of the vegan ones listed online. It would be nice to have vegan potstickers! They only seemed to have meat ones. The menu screens were broken, several of the fountain sodas were not in stock. read more

Super hit or miss. Sometimes it's so much sauce it was gag worthy but sometimes it's good. Depends on if you get delivery or not. Everything is fairly luke warm definitely not fresh or hot, assumed it's made at a set time and sits for hours on a hot plate. This has potential to be something great but there's an issue at management level. It's a food job so it's not like it's 5 star dinning. Some personal conversations going on that are not my business. Cup bowl was pretty good-- This time not overdone. Noodles are pretty flavorless. Mandu was cooked hours ago nothing to write home about. The ramen was straight up a bowl of goo. The noodles were like a clump of play dough in my mouth. I got it to go but ate it 10 minutes later after driving home. Possibly better fresh on the spot but can't really say for sure could have just been over cooked. Flavors are kinda there. Like I said potential to be good but something is failing along the line. Would be interested in going to another location to give it another shot, but as this was the third attempt to satisfy a Korean fast food craving I won't be going back. The price of the items make it less appealing. More of a dine in experience like chipotle or a sandwich shop and not a quick easy to go style- the combo doesn't bring the price down at all it just means you're getting those items lol. 30$ later for one meal just meh. read more

Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup - Black Garlic Pork - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Heard about this place from a co-worker and then drove by on the way to another restaurant. Decided it was a sign to come. My son was intrigued as well so we headed over for lunch. The parking lot is small and it's hard to navigate especially when the delivery trucks block your way. And blocked us in when we were trying to leave. The place is not large but right now most people get takeout so we didn't have an issue finding a table. No greeting in the door even though there was a server right there. We perused the menu and decided on the B Bop level 5 spicy and the Doochi Bop level 6 spicy. The B Bop is Korean style bbq beef with rice, cabbage mix and their sweet potato noodles. The Doochi is fried tofu with the same accompaniments. We also ordered two servings of mandoo. These deep fried potstickers are a fav of ours so we were excited to try them here. One serving is only 3 potstickers so we got two servings. A water and fountain drink rounded up our order. The server who tool our order was friendly enough. They call your name and you pick up your order. Tip - the forks are stacked tightly together so check that before you get another. The food is served in a to go bowl container with a lid. You're supposed to shake everything up to mix the sauce with the ingredients. I didn't do a good job and ended up with the sauce only in half of my ingredients. Oh well. The rice was not fresh and I'm a picky rice eater so right off I was disappointed. The noodles are similar in texture to glass noodles and are ok. He liked those a lot while I could do with or without them. The tofu is what was delish. Firm in texture with a slight 'crunch'. Very good. I could eat a whole plate of these. The sauce was spicy so I regretted only having it in one spot. He liked his bbq beef dish a lot. He said the beef was flavorful and the sauce all mixed in was tasty. His rice was better than mine so that was good. The potstickers were really good. Not over fried and well seasoned. Thank goodness we ordered two servings. Would we return? Not sure. The service didn't leave me feeling appreciated, just a feeling of having bothered them. The prices are steep for what the dishes are. Even he thought that while he would like to eat his dish again, he wouldn't pay the price for the serving size. And the parking lot situation just rounded out our overall 'meh' feeling. read more

I wanted to like this place so badly! I love the thought, and it seemed like it was going to be so good, but I was pretty disappointed. I got the Ugly Bop because I was so excited about being able to have GF fried chicken! But as soon as I opened it up, I was pretty disappointed by the chicken being somewhat dry and the rice being even dryer. It just didn't have a ton of flavor, but I'm guessing it maybe was the end of a batch or something. I got a side of mandoo which my husband said was okay, but when it was all said and done, $17 for dry rice and chicken seemed a bit steep. Maybe another try would prove me wrong, but was not feeling it this time. read more

Ok so CupBop has been on my list for over a year, buuuut I try to avoid the 16th street mall at all costs so I had been putting off checking out their kiosk down there, then I remembered they recently opened a location by the children's hospital on Colfax. No sooner had I remembered this useful tidbit of information than I was already on my way! I got the duo of two meats, bbq chicken and beef and tried I think level 8 spice as well as a side of dumplings. Oh my gosh was this amazing. Per their directions when I got home I gave it a good shake to mix all the deliciousness up and it was about as tasty as it could be. Spice was very manageable, I would compare it to a sriracha; will definitely be leveling up to 10 next time. Flavors of the meats were wonderful, and delicious noodles and veggies too! Ugh so good, I honestly need to come here asap! I would definitely recommend getting two meats so you can try two different options but they have some crispy chicken options too that I have to admit I was eyeing! All in all a great and filling meal; I didn't even finish the whole thing and was able to save some for Alfie to try! I think it's something like $10! So great value and taste if you ask me! Try it! read more

I was actually excited to try this place. Walked in for my first time told them I'm not sure how it works. Weren't helpful. Just kind of demanding to know what I want.. didn't even know what I ordered at first. Got it and Rice was dry clumped together and tasted old. So hard the fork was having a hard time stabbing through. Workers at registers are rude and just on their phones. Also place was so dirty. Food and trash all over the floor. read more

The food here is really good. I got the combo bop with bbq beef and Korean fried chicken and topped it with the special sauce which is level 7 I believe. I really thought the spice wouldn't be too bad but damn it was spicy. So unless you can really handle the heat, I would say don't go past level 5 or 6. Everything tasted really great once you shake up your bowl. They give you a lid so you can do that. The service was great and the store was nice and clean. My only complaint is that I think $9-$10 for one of these bowls is a little pricey for what you're getting read more

Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Good food! They have noodle/rice/protein bowls, ramen and the Korean hot dogs. The protein options are pretty good with various spice levels available. If you go spicy 6 or higher, it is added with a vinegar type hot sauce (maybe sriracha?). I'm not a fan of vinegar, so it's good to know to stick with 5 for a bit of heat instead. The mandoo are flavorful and come with a nice sauce. The set up inside is small and everyone is kind of running over each other, but other than that it's a great spot! read more

Ok this place is so poorly managed I cannot begin to explain how bad thier systems are. It is a disaster. Food may be ok but you will starve before you get something to eat. 1 point for having a gluten free noodle. That's it. Needs a real manager. Avoid if you are hungry! Lots of traffic so they have the reason to improve but does not look like it will stay a reality. Good news, I was able to do my taxes and write this review in the hour I wasted trying to get two bowls. They could even figure out how to return my money. A joy. Wait there is more, they ran out of the chicken I ordered. Wound up with noodles. read more

This will definitely be a new favorite of mine! The service was friendly and super fast. You can see them make your food, and behind the counter is super clean and organized. I ordered the Rock Bop with Spice level 7.5 sauce, I also got spice level 8 sauce on the side and thank god I did. Both the 7.5 and 8 have a hint of sweetness just a tiny bit. The 7.5 was perfect the 8 was a bit too much for me. If you love sriracha then this sauce is perfect for you. If you like really spicy but sriracha is a bit hotter than you'd like, I definitely recommend the 7.5. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING all of the sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors worked in harmony. Whoever created these recipes has a beautiful palate. I want to try everything on the menu, that's how good it was. Although the chicken was covered in sauce it was still crispy and delightful. The price is not bad you pay $11-20 and the food is filling. I am going to check if they have a loyalty program because I will be spending a lot of my money here. 20/10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!! read more

CupBop is AMAZING!!! They have go cups- everything from Spicy, to Vegetarian all Gluten Free!! (Processed in facilities that also processes non gluten-free products.) I love Korean food in general, but recently I changed my lifestyle ways into a total and complete vegan!! (Never been happier in my life) I was super excited that in all of their menu options, CUPBOP can cater to me with the DOOCHI BOP. It's basically this Fried Tofu cup that is only 531 cal, but it's very filling. There are noodles, rice, cole slaw (Or cabbage mix) and the actual diced tofu. (The portions of the diced tofu is also generous) I love putting sauces on my cup. I think it's awesome that they also offer GF NOODLES, which are Gluten free noodle substitution! Although, it reminded me of an idea of a raamen noodles cup, the portions and the added ingredients made the cup appear very promising; filling me up quickly. It's $8 per person for a SINGLE CUPBOP, but they also have about 12 other flavors as well. I absolutely love CupBop offers the Veggie Bop, which has Korean style veggies (looove the sesame seeds), served with rice, a cabbage mix, and noodles!! The Mandoo Bop Cup has everything that the other veggie cups have, but 6 Korean pot stickers. What a steal! The area of this CupBop location isn't the greatest, as parking is a bit tight and narrow. However, it's relatively close to the Children's Hospital and the light rail station. It's such a fun option for a college student who takes the train nearby. read more
