It was my first time at Cupbop. I had the Combo Bop with beef and fried chicken, which includes rice, veggies, and noodles. I chose the spice level 5, but could definitely go for a higher level. The bowl was tasty and the portion size was perfect. The restaurant is clean and casual, and the staff was friendly. Their machine wasn't working, but we were able to pay with cash. There's also plenty of parking spaces. read more

Really disappointing to see this place drop in quality over time. We used to love coming here and the staff was amazing, super friendly and very generous. Now you get literally 3 pieces of chicken for each protein option...and they charge you for each sauce. Definitely not worth the high price tag anymore. read more

I worked up an appetite after getting my nails done, so I was glad to see Cupbob was just a couple doors down. Fortunately for me, Cupbob is a fast casual restaurant with vegetarian options. The lone staff member greeted me upon entering. The space is bright, open, and offers ample seating. The staff walked me through the process and my options since it was my first time. I decided on a tofu cupbob which comes with a bowl of noodles, rice, and vegetables. The tofu portion was generous which I appreciated. The cupbob was tasty and exactly what I needed at the time. However, if I was more hungry, I think I'd need two cupbobs to fill me up! read more

Worst cup bop of them all. I eat at all the locations pretty regularly , this is by far the worst, order pick up times always off. Quantity of food inconsistent with other locations . Don't use their bogo promotion you'll just get 1 order split into 2 cups . Going to stop ordering from This location. Completely read more

Been a few months since I've been in and decided to hit this place up for their flavorful bowl with potstickers. Today I should have known better as I heard the rice hit the bowl and make a sound like dry rice hitting the bottom of the bowl. Got home and that was exactly what I have. Crispy or Dry rice like it wasn't fully cooked not very appealing to me. I'll be back but maybe get extra noodles instead of dry rice. read more

My husband and I tried Cupbop for the first time during a trip to Salt Lake City. It was so delicious we ate there twice in one trip!! We were beyond the valley of excitement when a branch opened up in our neighborhood. Trip #1- We stopped in after they had been open for a month. They were out of Kimchi and Mandoo (two of the big staples). I definitely chalked it up to growing pains of the early days, we waited a few months to come back. Trip #2- We ordered pick up online through the restaurant website. My husband arrived at the specified time, the full order was not ready. He (after a 12 hour work day) waited for 10 minutes for the food. Small mistakes with the food (no topping on the dog, requests for sauce on the side were ignored). Trip #3- We ordered online, again through their own website. My husband arrived and found out they had no idea about the order. He was then peppered with questions/accusations; he must have ordered at another location, he must have used an alternate food ordering site, etc. He showed them the email confirmation and a text I received stating, "Your order is ready for pick up!" No apologies, no offer for a free drink while he waited (again), the manager simply stated, 'Well...we are new." Such a bummer, we were so stoked, we won't be back to this location. read more

I have been hearing lots of hype for CupBop, so I decided to stop in for a quick and easy dinner. CupBop has a pretty unique concept, similar to that of a Chipotle or Subway. Choose your base menu item and customize it (sauce, spice level, noodles or rice, etc). Basically, it's a pricier Korean version of Panda Express. I ordered the Rock Bop (fried chicken bowl) with noodles, rice, and a spicy level of 4 sauce (1 being mildest, 10 being hottest). I thought my bowl was pretty good, but a bit pricey. The chicken and sauce were super flavorful but the portion of chicken was slim pickings and the rest of the bowl is basically sauceless noodles and really dry white rice. Next time I would ask for no white rice and more sauce. Overall, it's a cute concept but nothing worth trying more than once or twice. read more

My husband and I were hungry and aimlessly driving around and landed at CupBop. It was our first time experiencing this place. Love the bright colors and friendly atmosphere here. They are a Korean BBQ/Spirit restaurant. Glad to see there are some unique places to eat. They were excited to see first timers and offered us a taste of other items on the menu as well. If you want to experience the new age Korean palate, it's a must stop! We were very impressed. Quality, taste, portion size for what they charge are very reasonable. If you're not trying things, you're not really living! Stop by the Town of Gilbert on the SE corner of Gilbert and Warner. read more

1st couple visits here were decent, it has since gone downhill. Last night I was talking to some friends and told them we were headed here for dinner but that I was hesitant because it seems like they are always out of something, jinxed myself. They were out of cups, as in the cups they put your food in, as in the cups I assume is in the name Cupbop. As our server overfilled the containers with rice and noodles we asked about the cabbage, out of that as well. To her credit she did give me veggies instead. I could go on but will leave it here. In my opinion this is a management issue, order your products before they are gone, make your food before you run out. I will give them a while to fix their issues before I give them another chance. read more

Plus, they have mandu/wontons/dumplings and Korean corndogs as well. Side note, the kimchee is not bad at all, I would rate above average. Service: The workers are very helpful for any first time eaters or even the most experienced foodies.

My husband and I stumbled onto this place by accident. We were waiting on something in the area and needed to grab a quick lunch. I went to Jersey Mike's but my husband decided to try Cupbop. I rarely have food envy but was super disappointed with my sandwich after I tried his bowl from Cupbop. It was so delicious and flavorful. The space is modern, bright, and clean. The staff that helped us was great and Robert (who I believe is the owner) chatted with us and told us about the restaurant. You can tell he's genuinely passionate and cares about his restaurant and the quality of product he puts out. We ate there on Wednesday and will be grabbing it for us and family again tonight from the Mesa location. This will definitely be a go-to in our restaurant rotation! Thank you Robert and team! read more

You know sometimes grand openings can be very hectic very busy very stressful but everyone of those staff members held it down with so much grace. They had to spin the wheel my son and daughter both tried my daughter did not win anything after three spins, and my son won one year of cupbop!! They have quite a bit of things to choose from and you could always take things out add things in as you wish.

Place is disorganized and stingy. First off, the floor was super sticky. We paid $27 for 2 cups, and this the amount of meat they gave me. The whole bowl was filled with rice and noodles and this is the amount of meat I received. I had asked them and they said that this was normal serving size. If you're going to charge restaurant price at least give restaurant portions. This is absolutely outrages. I've had this better but in Phx and they definitely did not disappoint.

Customer service was good. The employees were very helpful and polite. However, I think this place needs to go more easy on the sauce. My friend and I were very overwhelmed with the amount of sauce put in. Also, upon arrival, there was limited amount of meat selection due it still being thawed. There should be more available selections on stand by. Even with what was available behind the glass, the amount of meat in the containers were barely there. The ratio of noodles, rice, and cabbage should be more evenly distributed. As a Korean, this first time experience did not meet expectations. But, the restaurant itself was clean and organized. read more

If you are a Korean BBQ fan, it's not quite as expected. The flavors are there, but their style is on top of cabbage, rice, and noodles. Then the whole thing is smothered in sauces that you are supposed to shake and then eat. I think I could develop a taste for it, but I would have preferred no sauce at all. The sauces were good, but they drown out the flavor of the meat. read more

I would recommend getting extra salad dressing on the side and getting the lettuce plate (which is an extra $3.5) for the meat unless you want to eat it with the pre-tossed salad.

They also served me a different one than what I had in the flight which tasted and looked different (it was murkier vs clear when ordered in the full bottle) and the bottle is def 13%.

When my friend immediately told her that isnt what she ordered, the waitress (new) proceeded to argue with my friend. I watched incredulously as things started to unfold. The waitress even asked my friend to pronounce bimbimpap again and told her she should learn how to pronounce it better. She kept arguing wirh my friend and mind you, waitess wasnt Korean or Korean American. At this point, I had to step in, as I also heard my friend say bibimbap clearly. The waitress didnt know what she was talking about and at the same time was being rude as heck to my friend. Then, my other friend shows up and orders a bibimpap. When the bibimpap is brought out, I asked her to bring some gochujang for my friend. I didnt know if my friend would like this chili paste, so wanted her to have the option to try it. The waitress again decided to argue about this and at this point, she was really testing my nerve. She said bibimpap doesn't come with gochujang and I am like thinking are you crazy, woman? I am not Korean but I have been eating Korean food for 30+ years, I know what I am talking about. She then asked me to repeat gochujang several times and I was very annoyed at this point. Its like, look lady, you dont know what youre talking about, stop sticking your foot in your mouth and come on, be nice to your customers! Because of this terrible behavior, I asked to speak to a manager, a woman came over and listened to what happened and apologized and thats how we found out she was new. I was beyond frustrated at this point. Despite the horrible service, I still left a 10% tip, but honestly the waitress deserves zilch and needed more training. The food is solid here but I wont be returning with that kind of behavior, I can choose where my money goes, and these days with it being so hard to get by, good luck to this place as I am not coming back.

My boyfriend and I tried Hodori and were recommended it by one of our friends. It was sort of busy…read moreon a Thursday night, but we were still able to get a table. They are a bit busy so we had to flag them to come over. We split the army stew. This had sausage, spam, rice cakes, ramen, and kimchi, I believe. Everything was very flavorful and went well with the rice. It's also a pretty big portion for two people and I want to say it was around the ballpark of $30. We got the complimentary banchan (side dishes), which was nice. Our favorite side dishes were the braised potatoes and the spinach. I don't love candied sweet potatoes or potatoes for that fact but these were so soft and tender. There is plenty of parking in the area, which is quite nice. I'll be back here the next time I am in the area.

I've tried a huge variety of dishes across the menu, and I've genuinely never been disappointed -- everything is consistently excellent. The standouts for me are the spicy tofu soup, kalbi, and seolleongtang.

The new menu offers an array of different side dishes and meats that weren't there before! Coming from someone who is often indecisive, I LOVE that there are new combo options that help guide you through the various cuts of meat. The new small side dishes (banchan) that come with your meal when ordering is so delicious as well! I love how the staff is never shy with refills when asking for more!! Speaking of the staff here, they were all so attentive to small details and super friendly:) They were all quick to notice when our table needed water, sides, a grill change, etc... It feels as though the workers here take pride in what they do and what they serve! All in all, I will be back again sometime soon to bring in new friends to eat here! I have always loved the quality of meat here, the fun upbeat vibes, and the friendly staff members that create a cheerful ambiance.

They were on top of everything, even changing out the grill plates right away so it never got too smoky, which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable.

Definitely a place I'll be coming back to and recommending to others.
