The service was fast and the guy at the front was very helpful, but he doesn't understand the Korean words for some of the foods on the menu so don't bother with that hahaha (japchae, gochujang,etc.) I tried the B-Bob medium level spicy, which was basically bulgogi beef over rice and japchae noodles, with spicy mayo on top. I've never had Korean food with spicy mayo before but it was alright. Next time I think I'll order it without sauce and ask for some of the level 8 chili sauce on the side or some kimchi for a more traditional KBBQ feel. I loved the Korean music they played in the outdoor dining area, and everything was clean and tidy. read more

This is genuinely the worst cupbop oat. Shoutout to fellow college student but for some reason this one is ALWAYS out of sum and ALWAYS has a long wait and never tastes that good honestly. Rip cupbop. read more

A prime example of what expansion in the food business does to quality. Like 10 years ago, this location and Cupbop in general was good! Now it's way overpriced for a small portion of the protein, a sad excuse for japchae, horribly made rice (what a disgrace), and cheap cabbage. Not to mention this location had like high school boys making the food....we waited a while for only 2 portions as 5+ other people came, ordered, and got their food first. I also requested sauce on the side, and it was put on top. Just overall a bad experience of waiting long, not having my request followed through, and eating very mediocre food. We only came because many years ago we had our first date here and wanted to relive the moment... That being said, I hope other locations have better service and food.....but this one does not! read more

Cute little shop. Very nice workers!! The food what nice and hot and tasted delicious

We've been Korean diners for decades, having lived in Seoul and cooking Korean all this time. Some may turn their heads because this is not the traditional sit-down Korean BBQ experience, BUT WAIT! This is good. We love this fast and tasty Korean option that is akin to Korean street food! The non-traditional sauce adds a great zest to these quick bowls that give you some traditional sticky rice, shredded cabbage, and simple and clear chap chae potato noodles all topped of with the meat of your choice. The sauce can be ordered from mild to burning hot spice or even teriyaki, if you like. Make it your way. We like all the meats, but the spicy pork is my favorite (and it is not too spicy) and you can either top your bowl with some mandu (potstickers) or have the mandu on the side. So, If you're hip and need of a quick Korean fix, Cupbop is your place! read more

They forgot to add my sauce to the order. It was not very good without the sauce and I had put both level 1 & 3 on the mobile order. read more

They are so nice here!! I ordered online and called about the sauce being missing, not realizing that it all sunk to the bottom, but they made me a new meal and explained what might've happened in the nicest way!! It also tasted great, I got the B bop with sweet sauce! read more

This isn't the most authentic Korean food you'll find in Provo but it satisfies the craving and tastes good! Last time we ordered two Combos with the Hot Bop + Veggies and Toc Bop + Veggies with a 4 spice level. Depending on who is working there, the spice levels can vary. This time the 4 was not as spicy as it has been other times we've gone but it was still good with a slight kick to it. The meat, veggies, sauce, and noodles were all really good! My only beef with Cupbop is the rice can be super mushy and soggy. Once you mix it all together, you don't really notice it as much but I do wish the rice were a little more firm/sticky? One other thing to make note of is the menu prices have changed slightly so just something to keep in mind! Overall, a fun little spot to stop in and grab some yummy bowls!! read more

This is the second week in a row at the Orem, Utah location that there is not any cabbage in our bowl. The texture is completely different and off putting. I didn't eat it last week and won't again this week. Please give us a heads up that you do not have any cabbage and we will order somewhere different since we brought this home to eat, both times. I have ate here about 5x before and had great experiences. Even the one time at the American Fork, Utah location in which everyone working there was obviously high, but at least the food was still good. read more

Unforgettable name. Like cmon "cupbop" is so short, so hip, so easy to remember. I would say this place is a hidden gem. It offers a different taste than what's around in the area. I ordered the b-bop which has the Korean beef (im guessing the b stands for bulgogi? Idk). The meal itself was satisfying. And you can gauge this place's attractiveness by the number of ppl who were in line and ordering to-go. It's worth stopping by. Also, the workers there were nice and friendly. All in all I would say thats all to review. Would I go to this place again? Yes I would! Bonus: An extra personal comment is here since I am new to the area and I've had a myriad of Korean eateries in SoCal. As far as it being trademarked Korean, I would say it does a decent job to live up to the taste. Korean fast food is a game-changer. Especially compared to other counterparts (besides American fast food) such as L&L Hawaiian BBQ, Yoshinoya Japanese Kitchen, Chinese fast food, etc. Cupbop could be another Asian fast food franchise that could spread throughout the nation. And so I would say this place is on the same plane as those mentioned above-- a fast food place that will give a hint of the cultural taste you're sampling for. It's not a bad thing. I would just assure people to not treat this place as the exclusive Korean food they will ever try in their life; something to not brag about basically. Nobody would brag about L&L or Yoshinoya or Panda Express. It's something worth sharing but not worth bragging about. My personal fantasy fix for a bowl would be bulgogi beef, lettuce, kimchi, sticky rice, japchae, and dipping sauces like ssamjang. read more

Cupbop is like a short term relationship. It starts out really good and gets old really fast. I think if there was less sauce it could be good. I'm not sure. Some people really like it though. Try it if your looking for not traditional fast food try it out it might be a hit for you read more

I can't get enough of this place. The chicken here is so good and the sauce is amazing! I highly recommend any BYU students to go here!

Super excited to try!! Have heard great things! The people seem frien daly and w e have been waiting to try! read more

So delicious!! Such a unique place to eat, with amazing flavors and a decent serving size. Definitely will visit other locations where we live! read more

If you're a sauce lover ask for extra sauce and you won't regret it! Noodles are always perfectly cooked and they give you a lot of meat! Hot Bop is my favourite and the Mondu is delicious as well! The staff here are also lovely and provide excellent customer service! Would definitely recommend! (Especially if you love American Asian food) Pro tip: leave the lid on and mix it all up by shaking it like crazy! That way your sauce is on everything and you don't just end up with plain rice because you already ate all the finger-lickin' sauce. read more

If you can see past the dark alley you will run into a Korean BBQ pick you up unlike any other. I was timid but David provided the brightest heads up service I have received in years. The 7 spice was perfect for me, not overwhelming but a nice kick. Enjoy! read more

Very yummy and clean, definitely would recommend to everyone My family and friends liked it a good amount read more

With easy to judge spiciness references, and simple menu, and walk-up ordering system, everything about Cup Bop is eater-friendly. Whether you're an Asian food fanatic or more of an inland type, you'll be able to customize your bowl to best suite your tastes. For nearly everyone I would recommend to skip the cabbage in whatever bowl you get, and to get extra sauce. One bowl is a good enough sized meal for anyone-my husband ate nearly the whole thing and was full and I got through about half. You can't really compare the prices to fast food; it's more of a fast casual restaurant in terms of cost. As an additional bonus, it makes for great leftovers! The bowls reheat very well. read more

Let's just say, I finally set my curiosity to rest. Standing in line for 30 minutes during the Gallivan lunch hour was bearable thanks to the enthusiasm from the Cupbop workers. The excitement from the workers undeniably stirred a commotion to make all the lost hungry souls, that were wandering the plaza, join the already-ridiculous-long line. The truck itself was strategically located at the bottom of the descending stair case, so each step down was one step closer to ordering the ever-so-raving korean food in a cup. I ordered the hot bop (spicy pork) with no veggies and the b-bop (bbq beef) both with rice and humbly denied the "free noodles." I asked for a level 8 and was informed the gentleman next to him was the sauce master and that he would be the one who will create the level of spice I desired. Based on previous reviews, Cupbop's various levels was true to the claims of actual spice therefore I asked the sauce master for a level 8 on on the hot bop and a level 4 on the other. Disappointingly, both levels of spice, 4&8 were not spicy at all due to the additions of all the other sauces that were put into the cups. The BbQ beef in the b-pop was way too sweet for my tastebuds. And while I requested no veggies in the hot bop, there were still cabbage/lettuce present. Even though the quality and flavors of the food was definitely not worth my time waiting or the price I paid, I cannot ignore Cupbop's friendliness and time that they put forth through the presentation and service. Cupbop was just simply not my cup of tea... Or should I say not my tea of cup. -Sailor out read more

I have been with cupbop from the beginning and I am sad to say that it is not what it used to be. Half of the cupbop experience was Jung, J. K. and Spencer shouting out orders and talking with customers. Now it is just a bunch of white dudes quietly taking your order and handing you your food. The food isn't the same either. They are putting significantly less sauce on the meals. So much so that even when I asked for extra sauce, my food was pretty dry, and I didn't even finish it. When this happened once I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but this has happened 3 times now. The chicken in the kko kko bop used to be big pieces of chicken, but now it's just shredded tiny bits. It isn't worth waiting in line for 30 minutes, and paying 8 bucks for dry bland rice. I seriously miss the old cupbop and hope they revisit their old ways, but until then I won't be coming back. read more

The flavor is there, and they'll load up on spices for you too, but there is way too much lettuce, rice and noodles with just a small amount of meat. If I'm paying eight bucks for a cup of food, I would expect to maybe get layers with more meat. Or to not get bagged lettuce or what tastes like boxed rice. If any of you have ever seen the TV show The League, this place reminds me of Yobogoya Beef Bowls. There's just not really any substance to it. Better places to spend and save your money at. read more

Finally went to cupbop! Went to the provo location. Kind of a dicey location, building seems run down. Not a fan of it, everything seemed super crammed and that could cause health concerns. But I didn't look for any because I wanted to enjoy my food. I got the b-bop and heat rating of 4. It was so good! I'd eat the food again for sure!! read more

Once, a girl named Olivia screamed at her friend Abigail in excitement when Cupbop was mentioned as the desired location for dinner. Abigail was very startled, as she was at the wheel. They moved past this and went to Cupbop for Olivia's Cupbop virginity to be taken. It was her best first time ever. Olivia was very happy, and so was Abigail's dog Pyper when they got home because she proceeded to hump Olivia's leg three times that night. The magic of Cupbop. read more

2nd time eating at the truck. Fantastic food, a little irked they were out of beef before 1pm. What I like about this place are the sauces. The Jap-chae is pretty much the same at Myung Ga and Korea house. What makes Cupbop so awesome are all of the flavors of the different sauces to compliment the already perfect noodles. I crave Cupbop all of the time and wished they had a website instead of having to go to Facebook to see where they will be at a certain time of day. Nothing bad could be said about their food or service. Awesome concept, great food, and fair price! read more

We love this place so much that we had them cater our wedding! I love love love the mandoo and my husband loves the kho kho bop. The staff is always friendly and the food is fast and consistent. I can't rate this place high enough! read more

I love Korean food, and there is some good Korean available in Provo (Koko Lunchbox is awesome, and Sam Hawk would be good if the food didn't take so d*** long). This is NOT it. As a gluten free person, their gluten free option still bothered me. come to find out, the sauce I picked had flour in it, which should be mentioned if you're eating gluten free. The chicken was super super dry and so heavily coated in breading it got stuck in my throat. I wish it were better. IDK why it's so popular. read more

Service at the food truck was fast and upbeat. The food...I couldn't eat it, and I was starving! I love most Asian foods and have eaten a lot of rice and noodle dishes. This is not a food for anyone who doesn't like multiple sauces nor unusual textures. (I wish I had seen someone's bowl before I ordered.) I requested an order of mandoo (3 potstickers) and the cup with shredded pork. As it was explained to me, people typically put the mandoo on top of the bowl. OK, I agreed. Then I watched 3 sauces being squeezed on the bowl to make my junior spice, and I knew I was in trouble. Too many creamy sauces; should have asked for it on the side, AND I was given one mandoo (I wasn't charged for an order) and it was also buried under the sauce. Pork had the texture of meat that had been put in the blender. I liked the glass noodles - they had been spared the majority of the sauce - and then I got to the rice in the bottom. The texture was horrible, as if it had sat too long. It disintegrated in my mouth. I had my husband pull over at the nearest garbage so I could dispose of it. I was still starving, but I just couldn't deal with all the textures. read more

Holy cow. The wait is so worth it. Park your car and sit. There are now regular restaurant locations but this one is the original. Any bowl is going to make your tastebuds sing. The fresh, unique flavors are a must try for everyone. Big servings! Great date restaurant. read more

Delicious! Krunch Bop looks nothing like the picture, still good. Wish I could get this stuff at home.

No. just... no. You should know this from the getgo: I'm a food purist. As much as I try to love cheap, fusion grub, I've never gotten behind even Roy Choi, the mastermind behind both the food truck and Korean fusion movements. But I know Roy well enough to know that he would be embarrassed to know that he gave rise to Cupbop. Cupbop, my friends, has no element of flavor consideration or refinement. There is very little thought in the dishes: you can get bulgogi or galbi over rice and sweet potato noodles, and then they drown the bowl--DROWN it--in gochujang and mayo-based sauces. What you get is an awful mush of melded flavors that is one note (essentially gochujang) and completely takes away from any savory qualities that the meat has to offer. I got the combo bowl, and what pork and beef I was able to save from saucy damnation was dry and undermarinated. CupBop relies on the sauces to do all of the flavor work and doesn't put any more care into the meats than they have to. No good. Both the mandu--kimchi and pork--are no good. They were soggy and the fillings were not well prepared or flavorful. If for some reasons I had to go back to CupBop, I would order the bowl totally dry and would get some sauce on the side so I could add it on or dip in it according to what I want. Then and only then it might be 2.5-3 stars. The experience I had was 1.5 stars. read more

Stopped off here on our way to St George from Yellowstone. Needless to say we were hungry and didn't want to eat another burger. They got our order wrong. I ordered the Noodle Bop and instead got the Mandoo Bop. Also, food wasn't hot, it was warm. Didn't have time to complain about it due to our long drive ahead. read more

so great!!! sooooo yummy!!! great service and perfect portions! would definitely return!!! read more

While I will say that they had some trouble getting my order correctly, and I did not get what I had ordered, the food I was given in its stead was good. I honestly cannot say what I received, but I enjoyed it. I do apologize for being so non-descriptive and I will say that I am going to give this place another visit, next time I am in the area. I do hope that I can get what I order next time or at least have some idea as to what I am getting. Thank you for making different food for the area and taking care to make it good. read more
