TLDR: highly recommend getting a bowl here. It's the only fast casual Korean bowls we know of in the area and it's family owned. My wife and I have been coming here periodically for the past year or so since they opened. Super glad that they are still in business. The food here has a ton of flavor. My wife and I typically get the pork bulgogi or the chicken bowls. I prefer the spicy pork bulgogi. The bowls typically come with japchae noodles, rice, veggies and more. It has tons of flavors and textures and tastes fresh every time. The guy who is always there is the son of the people who own it and he's always so communicative and friendly. The last time we were here, he let me know that the pork bulgogi was still being cooked and that it would be a few mins for that batch to come out. He easily could have said nothing but he always chooses to let you know so you're not in the dark. It's in the very small parking lot with the Walmart so it can be tough to get close parking but usually we've found a spot out front. read more

Cupspops - 4 Spicy Pork Bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

See all

A casual Korean eatery a short walk from the Spring Hill metro and near the Walmart in Vienna/Tysons. Pretty straightforward menu for pre-built and build your own bowls. They have self order kiosks and if you pick any of the bowls, you have the option to remove or add toppings. I ordered the soy sauce beef bulgogi with all the toppings and added an egg for $18 total. The bulgogi was flavorful but the portion size was relatively small and light on the toppings for the price. It looks like a pretty good size scoop of japchae but theres a bed of lettuce under it so really it was only 2 or 3 bites. read more

Fresh fragrant food. Excellent flavors. Good sauces and good Kim chi. Great friendly service

Glad the new Korean casual fast food opened up in Vienna! There are a variety of bowls "cups" to choose from with meaty and veggie options with free add-on toppings. You can order from the kiosk. There's plenty of indoor seating for solo and groups with a couple of outdoor tables. The #7 Fried Tofu Bowl was tasty! The fried tofu was light and airy and seasoned well in marinated soy garlic sauce. I was pleasantly surprised as tofu is usually dense and stiff. The Jap Chae noodles were flavorful and wish it was an option for a base instead of rice or salad. While the mixed greens were healthy, I would opt for the brown rice. The crunchy seaweed and the corn along with Yum Yum and Teriyaki sauce helped to round out the bowl. It would be nice if more veggies were offered as toppings. The advertising is a bit misleading as the bowls don't come with the spring roll. The 2 tiny Spring Rolls are extra, The crispy Spring Rolls were pipping hot, and yes - worth the $2 upcharge (although I wish they were complimentary of the bowl!) Excited to come back for another tofu bowl (I'll hold on the spring roll this time!) read more

Have driven by this place so many times and finally decided to stop in. So glad that I did! The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. Staff were very friendly and helpful! I ordered a beef bulgogi bowl with all the toppings. The beef was tender and packed with flavor. The rest of the sides were also very fresh and delicious. I would highly recommend trying this out! read more

Cupspops - 5 Soy Sauce Beef Bulgogi bowl - Korean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Been wanting to try this place out for a while since they recently opened. Located in the small plaza infront of the Tyson's Walmart.. they specialize in protein rice bowls with different toppings along with other sides too. You can order with the staff or there's two kiosks, but the guy working was super friendly and helpful. The menu is pretty straightforward and you can pick what toppings you want/don't want in the bowl. Process is very similar to ordering a poke bowl. I got the soy sauce beef bulgogi bowl w/ rice base, japchae, kimchi, corn, and furikake and it was so yummy. The bulgogi was tasty and good quality. I think the portion is great for the price as well. I wish they had this around when I was a kid because I would always have to beg my parents to go to a Kbbq place just to get bulgogi (they always said no). I also tried the soy garlic chicken which was so good and a good portion to either enjoy by yourself or share with others. Definitely want to come back to try their 1person tteokbokki side dish next. Ambiance is very cute too. Very clean inside with TVs playing music videos. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Saw recently open and I wanted to check it out. I like Korean food, and the fast-casual style is a great combination, too. I had the tteok-galbi. The cashier was nice enough to explain that it was a mix of ground pork and ground beef. It has a great flavor. I also had spicy chicken for extra. My only complaint is that the rectangle box was a little bit annoying to eat out of. Other than that, it's a great casual spot for lunch that I would recommend. read more

Cupspops - 6 Tteok-Galbi - Korean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Cupspops!! You gotta try their rice bowl (aka Korean bibimbap)! (Located outside part of Walmart shopping center.) Cupspops shop got variety of proteins to choose from and veggies/toppings and different types of sauces! Food is fresh! Fresh veggies, toppings and well balanced sauces. All meats looked well cooked. My husband and I got both got grilled pork. Mine I chose soy grilled pork and hubby got spicy gochujang pork. Our bowls were packed!! So much food!! My grilled pork definitely had the grilled smokey flavor and if you like that grilled flavor you will like this! It was good! My husband and I both love spicy food so their spicy level wasn't as spicy as we want but the sauces tastes good and flavorful. You can customize your bowl, add or leave out ingredients. But we got everything in it. The shop owner and employees are all super friendly and helpful!! We will definitely go back for more and try their other bowls!! read more

I stumbled upon this place while in the Tysons Corner area. I was immediately drawn to the Bulls as I was in a bulgogi mood. Service was very quick and friendly. The menu was easy to read. They have a variety of chicken, beef, and tofu bowls. They have a lot of delicious looking sides you could order. The actual Bowl was priced well and a good size. I couldn't finish it on my own, so it could be good for two people or one very hungry person. They give you three sauces, and all the sauces I tried were excellent. I especially like the spicy mayo and teriyaki sauces. The flavors of the food went well together and there was a variety of toppings that made it fun to eat. There is seating indoors and it is good for a families. They also have a soda/water station. I highly recommend this restaurant and would happily eat here again! read more

Cupspops - Bulgogi bowl - Korean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I did not love my experience at this place. The cashier - young lady was very pleasant but wasn't familiar with store policies. The male was unpleasant. There was not smile, no "thank-you," no "kindness." Albeit brief, the interaction was enough for me to conclude that this is not a place that I would return to. The chicken was JUST okay. The sauce was sticky but I didn't taste the spice. The sweet spicy gangjung does not come with any sides. I captured a picture of the sides of the bowl for visualization of the portion size compared to the price point. I paid $15.89 for a side of chicken. To manage expectations, the spicy chicken at BonChon is better and better priced per portion. Looking at the receipt, I see why they say no refunds because the chicken is not good, but the customer has no recourse. read more

Cupspops is a new build-your-own bowl restaurant that is a Korean twist on a not-to-be-named Mexican-style fast causal restaurant. Located in the Tysons West shopping area of Tysons Corner, this fairly new restaurant is off to a great start. I stopped by and built my own bowls. I tried a bowl with the spicy pork bulgogi as well as the crispy chicken. These meats are so flavorful! You can also pick your own base (I chose rice), and add on a variety of toppings such as kimchi salad, lettuce, and scrambled egg. And don't forget to top it all off with a sauce. I got the gochuchang sauce, and also a side of Buldak on the side (that is super spicy, be careful!) The service here was super quick and friendly. You can choose to either order at the counter or using the kiosk on the side, whichever you prefer. The portions were a good size for the price. This fast casual restaurant is so good, I wish that they'd open more throughout Northern Virginia. read more

This place has such a great vibe and atmosphere! It would be such a great place to go with friends & take cute photos to show off your lunch spot. We ordered two different options to try both, the chicken #2 and the beef galbi #6. The galbi was considerably better than the chicken so I'd recommend the beef! I think I need to come again and switch up my order to really find a combination of items I like together. Aside from their main dishes if the bowls, they have a variety of beer and other sweet drinks to choose from! They also have a variety of ice cream bars/desserts in the fridge which is so thoughtful! The two workers (maybe also owners?) were so kind and seemed to have a lot of joy in their new restaurant and they should! It was a great visit. Only real reason it wasn't a full 5 stars is that, it was a bit expensive and the bowl it self wasn't anything super special (it was good! but not necessary amazing). I would still recommend as a place to check out and support a small business! read more

First time here. Ordered Spicy Chicken (extra chicken), white rice, sweet corn, scrambled egg, crunchy seaweed, fried dumplings (2 pcs) & yum yum sauce. First of all, very nice looking and clean restaurant. It was easy to order and pay at the kiosk with a cc. Mind you, I got it to go so it might not be as good as eating it there. And it was around 4 pm. Not prime dinner time. HOWEVER, maybe it was an off day but what I had did not justify the 4.9 star rating. The spicy chicken was mealy and didn't taste fresh. Like it was sitting around as was the corn (not sweet), cold scrambled eggs & stale seaweed. The rice was way overcooked and mushy! How can one screw up rice in a rice cooker???? The only saving grace was the fried pork dumplings. Even if they were luke warm, they were still crispy and had a flavorful pork filling. I might give this place another chance but if I get the same quality again, I will definitely not be back. I hope the owner or manager sees this review. Even though it wasn't prime lunchtime or dinnertime, the food should always be fresh & not be sitting around for hours. I really wanted to like this place but this first impression, was definitely a poor one. And for $17.44 for a rice bowl is pretty expensive, even for Tysons! read more

I've been waiting for Cupspops to open, and didn't realize as I biked past that it's been open for 2 weeks now. So, of course, I stopped by for some great Korean BBQ chicken! This is a typical bowl restaurant where you order the main protein and then the rest of the bowl, which I got rice, some greens, rice noodles, corn and egg. I topped it with their spicy buldak sauce. The chicken is mildly sweet and spicy, good flavor, the outside very crispy. Perfect!! The spicy buldak sauce I got on top was very spicy, but I love spicy so it was a great choice. Next time I will get more on top. The corn, rice noodles and greens were good, especially with the buldak sauce. I ate about half of it, and then saved the rest for later since I wasn't planning on eating when I stopped by, but seeing it is open I had to stop, and I recommend everyone stop by since it really is very good! read more

We really liked this fairly new fast casual Korean option. Its right across from the Walmart shopping center. There was one gentleman working the serving line, who was very friendly and accommodating for our group. They have a good selection of different protein options along with several toppings and sauce options. Both the soy sauce chicken and spicy pork bulgogi were very tasty, and the noodles and kimchi were a good compliment. My one request would be some more cold, fresh options- cucumber, carrots, etc. I really enjoyed my bowl and devoured it in a few minutes, and would definitely come back. read more

If Cupspops doesn't deserve a 5-star review, then I don't know what does. Each bowl is packed with flavor, and portion sizes are great. It's so much better than any other bowl fast food place, and it's at the same price. The workers are also really nice and always looking out!! Highly recommend. read more

Nice bright fast food with good quality food. Some dishes are order to make. We liked the bowl and the rice cakes. Will try more in future

The food tasted ok but the amount for the price is not good. If you get it without rice and get the veggies and salad, you get even less. Not even enough for 1 adult!! read more

Went on a Friday night. Not busy, only one other customer finishing up. Staff were super friendly and helpful! We ordered a spicy chicken bowl, beef bulgogi bowl and a beef galbi bowl. You have a variety of free add ons...I literally asked for all of them! There's several sauces to choose from too...I asked for Baldak which may be the spiciest and yum yum sauce. It had a nice kick but I could have done spicier lol. The place was very clean and bright. We definitely will be back! The bowls are very flavorful and filling! read more

I became very sick after eating the chicken and rice dish here. Something in the meal--either the meat or the vegetables--didn't seem fresh, and I ended up with vomiting and stomach pain for two days. I hope the restaurant takes this seriously and reviews its food safety practices, because this was a really unpleasant experience. read more

Came upon this place randomly and was definitely happy I did. The food was great and service was friendly. The bowl was small but the portions were very generous! The marinade on the galbi was delicious. I would recommend this place. read more

Cupspops - Korean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Pros: Amazing food Cons: online ordering is a PAIN. Their system requires you to login every time and put your address. There is no guest checkout available and because of this I only go when I have time to go in person because I don't believe I should have to leave my personal info every time I want food. read more

Wasn't worth the cost of the food, would rather have real Korean bbq. I got the bulgogi

The restaurant was very clean and the Korean lady at the front was super friendly! I got the Beef Bulgogi and felt gochujang is always a solid sauce if you like a bit of spice. This was a quick and easy meal that does a slightly modern take to the traditional Korean food read more

Cupspops - 5 Soy Sauce Beef Bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I very much enjoyed my spicy pork bowl at Cupspops (my wife liked her bulgogi, too). I got all the included toppings, but had the kimchee on the side. The kimchee is sweeter than to which I'm accustomed, but I liked it anyhow. I skipped the additional sauces, since the spicy gochujang sauce seemed good enough. I look forward to another visit. read more

Service was great, felt more like a restaurant than a quick to go place. The lady even catered to our request about our uncertainty about their beef patty being thoroughly cooked for our kids to eat, she had no complaints and kindly reheated it. The only thing is the spicy kimchi was way too spicy, even for me as a Korean. Otherwise, this seems like a business owned by honest and kind owners read more

Incredible food with cool vibe and nice staff. Check our the Korean desserts and drinks which are a bonus. Highly recommend their catering for parties - bulgogi (Korean BBQ beef) beats pizza and sandwiches every day of the week. read more

Cupspops is a new Korean quick serve.  And, though it will never replace the awesome bibmbap at our favorite full serve Korean restaurant, it was pretty good for a fast meal.  On our visit, we tried the #2, sweet spicy fried chicken gangjung bowl and the #6 flamed soy sauce galbi bow.  Both were good.  We liked that you could customize what you liked and add in a lot of mix ins.  We had thought we wouldn't finish either bowl, but, we managed to do so without feeling overly full.  The service was very patient and friendly (always a necessity when people are picking between a lot of options.)  When they were running low on the chicken, they made up a fresh batch rather than scraping the bowl of what was left.  There is plenty of seating and you can watch fun Kpop videos while you eat.  There is also plenty of parking in the surface lot to the side of the restaurant or in the parking garage nearby. read more

I love Korean bulgogi and this place does not disappoint. The meat is awesome as is the kimchi. And yum yum sauce makes everything better. My only suggestion is the need bigger bowls. Not to put more food in but to have space to mix the bowl without spilling it. read more
