    A great place to grab-and-go tasty Korean foods! You can shake the order together or just eat it as it is, with 10 choices of how spicy (or not) you want your grub. Tony was helpful in helping us patiently pick out the delish choices. Definitely worth a return trip. Military discount and parking validation upon request.

    We saw this place on our way to the hotel, so decided to give it a try. This is a good novel concept as I haven't seen too many Korean fast food places around. They ran out of salad so we ordered bowls with beef, katsu and two types of fried chicken (rock and ugly). The bowl has glass noodle and rice as staples, with a bit shredded cabbage. To be honest, the fried chicken was ok and tasted a bit bland. The beef and katsu much more flavorful and something worth trying.

    Walked by for lunch. The screens with what I'd assume is the menu were not working. One of the employees walked me through the ordering process. When it was time to choose protein, the options were chicken, fried chicken, fried chicken patty, and pork... I tend to lean vegetarian so I was disappointed in the lack of options, but decided to give the pork a try. They let you choose your sauce, which was the only flavor in the bowl. No other toppings, no veggies, no sides. Just carbs and meat. If you're looking for a well rounded meal, this isn't the place. Probably won't be back.

    Supposedly Seoul and Rock combo Bowl

    My friend and I were really excited to try this place since we are visiting and saw it while walking though I am disappointed. The customer service was not the best, it seemed like no one wanted to be there and their mood was affecting the service. They seemed to not have anything such as chicken wings, kimchi, and kdawgs. I say this because I got the combo meal and wanted wings but they did not have it. With my actual meal, I wanted the "Seoul" and "Rock" as my protein. I was confused because on my reciept it just says rock x2 and it looks like there is just one protein. I shared this concern with one of the workers there and they said that both are in there which is also concerning. I dont know if they just give out 8 pieces to everyone or they just didnt care. I assume which is the main lead, did give me two kdawgs for the price of one since one of the other workers said they didnt have it but they did. I wouldnt come back or recommend to anyone visiting.

    This was my first visit to cupbop and the food was tasty. I got two different chickens in my bowl and rice and noodles. The service was great! The seating was fun, I got to people watch at the window while I ate. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 and not a 5 is because they said 9 was really hot, and I have to disagree. Now don't go getting 9 on my word.... I'll totally try it again but ask for a 10. You do you. Thank you cupbop!!

    My wife and I were very excited to come to Cupbop for the first time, having been to many Korean BBQ restaraunts, we heard this was supposed to be a similar experience. It couldn't have been further from it. The employees didn't greet us when we came in and just looked like they didn't care to even be there. The food itself was barely tasteful. My wife got the Korean Fried Chicken bowl and the chicken was barely even lukewarm which was terrible. I got the Beef which was hot but the rice was stale and seemed to have not been refreshed in a long time. All of the photos on the wall of the veggies you get in your bowl are untrue as we didn't have anything but finely shredded cabbage in our bowls. This places does an extreme disservice to Korean people and their culture. If you come here without expecting that, you may not be disappointed if you like bland food, but we don't recommend you ever even try this place.

    Combo Bop Bowl

    We went before the AJR concert. They were staffed with 2 people making orders for a lot of customers. It was quite chaotic and stressful due to how the main person was working. Very unorganized. As you can see from the pictures it looks pretty much how it should. The food was decently tasty. However the spice level was not where it was supposed to be. Not spicy at all. The combo had only 5 pieces of tofu. Which i thought was very few compared to the serving size of the other combo. I also requested no rice in one and extra veggies which was acknowledged however i think the employee was so overwhelmed the forgot to do it. Over all, for a fast food joint I'd be willing to try it out again if i was in the area however if it is as chaotic as it was this last time, i would not visit again.

    Came for lunch and the line was out the door. The bowls come with a protein, shredded cabbage, yam noodles, and rice. Ordered the combo bowl which gives you the option of two proteins and everything else I listed. I decided to go with the beef bulgogi and chicken. The proteins were soggy and mushy with very little flavoring. The chicken almost look like cut up poached chicken. I opted out of the heavy mayo-based sauces they drizzle over the top and got a side of kimchi (4 oz) instead for ~$3 more. This place is very expensive and mediocre for what it is. Coming from California, we have tons of make your own bowl type places, and they're usually so generous with the different veggie options and toppings. My coworker who came in a little later said they ran out of rice. How can you run out of rice when you're a rice bowl restaurant? Hopefully they work out the kinks, but the food is mediocre at best and expensive for what it is.

    I came to Sizzle Korean BBQ in Phoenix because of its excellent Yelp reviews, and I can definitely…read moresee why people enjoy the atmosphere. It's located in an outdoor shopping center, and although the restaurant is on the smaller side, the interior design and decor reminded me of many of the Korean BBQ restaurants back home in California. It felt cozy and authentic. This is not an all-you-can-eat restaurant. We ordered the Small Beef Combo, 2 side of rice, Korean dumplings, and the strawberry basil lemonade. The only unlimited items are the traditional Korean side dishes. We were served five different banchan along with two salads. While they didn't bring every available side dish, the ones we received were actually very good. Unfortunately, the service is what ruined the experience for me. Our server, Huy, was also serving my friends' family seated at the table next to us. They had ordered the same Small Beef Combo. When Huy started grilling our brisket, he accidentally dropped one of our slices of meat onto the floor. He paused, clearly noticed it, and so did everyone at our table. However, there was no apology, no acknowledgment, and no offer to replace the piece. He simply continued cooking as if nothing had happened. A few moments later, he placed a Prime Ribeye on our grill. I told him we hadn't ordered that cut--it belonged to my friends' table. He then picked up the entire plate of raw ribeye from our grill and transferred it to their table. Even though they were our friends sitting right next to us, that didn't seem like proper food handling. When I mentioned the mix-up, he simply said the kitchen had made a mistake. Again, there was no apology. Toward the end of the meal, it seemed like Huy realized I was unhappy, but he never addressed either incident. The missing piece of brisket wasn't a significant financial loss, and the food itself was good. My disappointment was with the service. Mistakes happen in every restaurant. What matters is acknowledging them, apologizing, and making a reasonable effort to make things right. A simple apology and replacing the dropped piece of meat would have completely changed my impression. Because of the service, I don't plan on returning, which is unfortunate because the food and atmosphere were otherwise enjoyable.

Galbi used to be $45 pre covid. Then they raised it to $65 which was egregious. Now they raised it again to $70. I have eaten all over the world and have never seen galbi priced this high. The reason I am rating it 1 star is because of the pure greed from the owners. I asked to speak to the owner one time and they didn't even have the courtesy to come over. The food is good yes but there are much better options that won't turn the average person poor overnight.

I really enjoyed their difference in bon chan and was delighted by their $.50 hot drink station at the front. It was cute and very whimsical to get a korean milk coffee out of a quickie machine that presents its own cup when you insert quarters like you're traveling abroad. I liked it a lot. When you're sitting in their little booths, it's also very private and you can also view their process of making tofu in the back on the televisions on the side while you eat it, which is very informative as well. The staff was very clean and prompt at taking orders and never missed anything either, so I definitely appreciated the wait staff and attitude as always.

To start the appetizer tray at the beginning is an awesome touch that I'm not used to in other places I have tried.

We ordered the seafood sundubu, beef bulgogi, and sweat and spicy korean fried chicken wings. The portion size was very generous on the wings and on the crispier side which my wife prefers. The seafood sundubu was delicious and was pleasantly surprised to see a decent amount of tofu and seafood types in the dish. The beef bulgogi was also tasty and as I said before just scratched that korean food craving that we had. This has been added to our rotation of date night locations for us!

This spot is a-la-carte, so you order off the menu and pay by items.

This meal was a satisfying all-you-can-eat feast that balances quality meats, traditional Korean side dishes, and crowd-pleasing appetizers, topped by superior service from Jimmy. From the moment the food arrived, the presentation set the tone. The table was quickly filled with colorful banchan (Korean side dishes), including kimchi, cucumber salad, bean sprouts, pickled radish, fish cake, and potato salad. While these sides may seem simple, they play an important role in Korean BBQ, providing contrast to the rich grilled meats. The kimchi was fresh and vibrant, with a bright red color with plenty of spice and fermentation. The appetizers looked like a strong start to the meal. The japchae (glass noodles) were well-seasoned, offering a slightly sweet and savory flavor profile. The gyoza had a crisp golden exterior, suggesting a satisfying crunch before giving way to a savory filling. One standout appetizer was the corn cheese--a bubbling skillet of sweet corn and melted cheese that looked indulgent, comforting, and impossible to resist. The fried chicken also deserves mention; the crispy coating was perfectly golden and paired with a vibrant dipping sauce that added a sweet-spicy kick. The real star, however, was the barbecue itself. The platters of raw meat has excellent variety, with beautifully marbled cuts that promised flavor before they even hit the grill. Steak, in particular, was thick-cut and rich, tender and well-marbled. Once grilled, the meat developed an appealing caramelized exterior with just the right amount of char. There is something uniquely enjoyable about cooking your own food, sharing dishes, and pacing the meal at your own speed. The tabletop grill becomes the center of the dining experience, encouraging conversation and making the meal feel more like an event than simply dinner. The restaurant's atmosphere appears casual, clean, and focused on the food. The grill setup was well-integrated into the tables, and the overall dining area looked comfortable without unnecessary distractions. The emphasis remained where it should be: on the endless flow of food. For the price point shown on the menu, the value appears excellent. The combination of unlimited appetizers, numerous beef and pork options, seafood selections, and traditional Korean side dishes offers plenty of variety. Diners can sample multiple proteins and flavors without feeling restricted to a single entrée. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned Korean BBQ enthusiast, this is a meal worth gathering friends and family around the grill for.

The waiter showed up looking like he was being held hostage for having to work. I figured everyone's had an off day so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I let him know we had not been here before and asked if he could make sure to explain how it works. I got a mumbled answer about how many pieces you can order at a time. I asked how we will know what each meat is, is it labeled? He said no he'd tell me. The rest was frustrating. Not only did he set the meat down and literally dash away as fast as possible, if I asked what it was I was met with annoyance. When I asked for some forks, for a table of 9, he brought exactly two and then disappeared. When I got up and found someone to ask for forks, I was told I HAD to get those from my server. When I asked if they could just go grab some since he disappeared and wasn't coming back, I was told no. We had to ask him. I finally asked directly if the host could just let our waiter know. We got the forks and after that he seemed to come around more but we just felt like the entire time we were guessing on how it worked. I mean, it's not rocket science I get that but as a table full of people who worked in the restaurant industry (and some who currently still do, even one who's family owns a restaurant) we were scratching our heads at how BAD the service was. $400 later, not worth it even a little bit. It was fine for my daughter's birthday but we just felt like we were bothering the waiter the entire time. They add gratuity to large parties and now I see why. He didn't really need to try, because he was getting the tip regardless I guess.
