When I saw that there was a bibimbop place that had recently opened up in the Norfolk area, I knew I had to check it out when I was in town! The High Cup not only offers bibimbops, but they are slowly adding additional items, such as the Korean hot dog and grilled cheeses. They also have coffee, espresso, and tea beverages. I ordered: +the Classic - this had marinated thinly-sliced ribeye (aka, bulgogi), bean sprouts, carrots, kale slaw, scallions, sesame oil, and cucumbers; I asked to add kimchi, but they didn't have this for a side (which is strange!) - I ended up being charged for a 'bottle of water' to make this addition; the kimchi came in a small cup, but wished it was larger in portion; I felt that the 'hot sauce' could have been more thicker and more creamier, as it was super thin in consistency; the veggies were super fresh, and this was definitely a healthy-tasting bowl; the hubs really enjoyed this bowl, way more than I did! Service was friendly, and there seem to be a good amount of people inside, enjoying their beverages and eats. Local artists can submit their artwork to be displayed in the space, which I find pretty cool! There isn't really parking, but some spots around the building in an abandoned gas station area. I'm sure you could find more if you drive out a bit further. +friendly service +local artwork +some parking around the building

I visited with D.P. to take part in the $7.57 deal (thanks, Yoonie) and took everything to-go. The owner, Joseph, was so friendly and patient while our indecisive selves figured out what to order. We both ordered the Classic Korean Bowl (marinated bulgogi, bean sprouts, carrots, kale slaw, hot sauce, scallions, sesame oil, roasted sesame seeds, and cucumber). It was FANTASTIC. I love bulgogi, and their marinade is one of best I've ever tried. This version of the bowl for the $7.57 deal is smaller than normal, we were told, but I thought it was the perfect size and hope this becomes a regular option in the future. We also ordered the slushies. It was kind of the owner to offer samples of all three flavors: mango, strawberry, and peach. My favorite was the mango but the other two flavors are on par as well. I ended up getting a blend of strawberry and peach while D.P. got the mango. Fair warning, they're very sweet but I thoroughly enjoyed them. Naturally, I added bourbon to the second half when I got home. We also tried the pastries - a coffee muffin and sweet almond cake. Delicious! The best part is this shop features local art for sale which I could've spent all day looking at. It's going to be swapped out at the end of the month.

Mango slushy $7
Krisha B.

My friend and I tried this place on our lunch break and we were so impressed! The owners were kind and genuine people, served us great food, and we had good conversations about their business and the art in the cafe. The art supports local artists and rotate on a schedule! It felt like a mini museum walking through their space! The storefront is right off a main road but the owner informed us that both of the gas stations across the street and adjacent to the store are available to park! I tried the classic bowl which comes with bulgogi and various Korean sides like pickled cucumber, carrots and bean sprouts. The meat was perfectly grilled and seasoned, and the rice was the delicious short grain sticky rice (my favorite)! I also tried their mango slushy which reminded me of mango nectar juice in slushy form. Overall, I can't wait to come back and try other menu items! They have a new Korean BBQ grilled cheese which sounds delicious & is next on my to-try list!

Korean corndog with hash browns (French fries? Lol)
Erika W.

We wandered into the area and went to Yelp to try something new. I saw someone here mentioned a Korean corndog, and my husband was immediately sold. Before making your way out here, know parking is difficult. The side building may or may not have spots, and when we drove by, it was full of broken glass. Not the business's fault at all, but man did that almost turn us away. I searched 'parking' in other reviews and saw others parked across the street at the dry cleaners. While I'm not sure if that's permitted, it's very convenient. Lucky lady was on our side and we saw this establishment was actually participating in the Yelp $7.57 deal. We got a bowl and a canned drink with the deal, along with an iced white chocolate toffee latte (that was just okay) and a hash brown Korean corndog. The reason for the 4 stars is the bowl. I really don't think we got the bowl we ordered, and by the time we opened it, we were too far out. Our receipt said 'Seoul Train', but I'm 85% sure we got the 'Kimchi Crunch'?? It was either chicken or pork, and not beef. I'll attach a picture. (I see the business owner often replies, so if you do here, please tell me what we got, it was delicious.) The bowl we got was still fantastic. It was tender, spicy yet sweet, crunchy, and very fresh tasting. I want to say it was the owner who took care of us at the register. I could be wrong, but either way, he was so patient and nice. Even said hi to my kiddo who was waking up from her cat nap, and goodness was she grouchy. If coming with a significant other who you share food with, you'll want to get your own bowl. It's a lot smaller than what the pictures led me to believe and I was sad I had to share my bowl. Overall, I highly recommend trying them out at least once. I just don't think I'd make this a regular on my list given the long drive with parking, but more importantly the portion size to price ratio.

Potato Korean Corn Dog
Anika W.

Came here with my friend after an event to check out the 757 Yelp deal where you get a Korean bowl and a soda for $7.57. This shop is located at Slowdive which was a favorite spot of mine before it closed. A lot of the charming energy is still intact which was a mood booster for sure. During our visit they were putting up art work which was fun to see. This business has only been open for 4 months and they are continuing to grow and add things which I love. Soon they'll have Alcoholic beverages, cronuts, juices and more. We were helped by Joseph who was super sweet and walked us through the menu and answered all our questions. He suggested his favorites and told us the best way to eat what we ordered. We ordered the Kimchi Krunch bowl which was a chicken bowl with fresh veggies, rice & a creamy sauce. We were also we're inclined to order the Korean corn dogs. I got the sweeter option that had cheese and fish cake and Ashleigh got the potato one. Both were yummy and had a satisfying cheese pull. The Korean bowl was good as well with a great balance of flavors. Overall I like the ambiance and I'm excited to come back and try the coffee which looks good. This place is open late, has menu variety, highlights local artists and has a bright environment. I definitely recommend anyone give it a try.

This review comes after my 2nd visit to the shop. I will start by saying parking on the closed Shell has station next door is okay, but be aware it is a homeless haven. They don't bother you but it can be jarring for a first time visit. The interior is on the first floor. There is a clean cover inside that's lofty and artsy with a cozy vibe to read a book, draw, study, or meet up with a friend and grab coffee. They have a good menu option of Korean bowls I have tried several that your can't go wrong with trying. I ordered a strawberry slush that was good and last time had the Mango that amazing. There are a lot of local artists displayed on the wall to purchase or grab a board game and play. The wait for good is short round 10 min or less, but the flavors are filling and enjoyable. The server will check in every so often and make sure you are well taken care of. Grab a high cup sometime and you'll feel right at home!

Cocktail
Letti J.

This is such a cute little neighborhood gem, the interior is eclectic and welcoming . They support the community by showcasing local artist and hosting the work for sale which the commission goes 100% to the artist. The food is tasty and the drinks are amazing. They offer a few original cocktail recipes that are delicious. The place is run by a small staff who are quite personable and attentive. I've driven by this place a few times, I wish I would have checked it out sooner !

Seoul bowl
Estephani M.

So many food options, from cafe snacks to Korean meals. Yummy coffee and flavorful chai! Theres also several events that happen monthly and board games to play while you wait. Super nice and friendly service.

Joe Nieves and his staff were Amazing!!! Their food, coffee and shop were a whole Vibe! We stopped by to check out the place and had a blast! Loved it so much that we ended up calling some friends to come and check it out. Turned out that it was Friday karaoke night, man let me tell you.... It was a Blast! To see folks gather together like family and sing songs, laughing, eating, clapping and cheering. It topped off the night for us. The food was great but the environment and service were top-notch. If you're in the Norfolk area I highly recommend this spot. You won't be disappointed.

Simple eats and drinks! The place was decorated nicely and the staff were super friendly. I ordered the Strawberry Chai and it was sweet and spicy, highly recommend it! The barista was also nice enough to let me know that if it was too spicy, he could adjust the chai taste but I absolutely loved it! I also ordered the Seoul Train bulgogi rice bowl and it was great! It was so simple and so flavorful at the same time. Prices are on the higher side, my drink+bowl came out to $25 with tax. Recommend you try it still though!

Mmmhmm... Their cocomoca is delicious! I love the vibe that they have going it's beautiful

Seoul Train bowl w/ chicken and egg
Alannis F.

We had a wonderful experience at The High Cup! The gentleman that took our order has always been so personable and friendly both times we've been. I believe it's just him who runs the show - and he does a great job. The place is small but very hip and cozy. I really like that local art is always featured and switched out. We came later in the evening, so many of the food items we wanted were out. For the Seoul Train bowl, they were out of bulgogi, so we ordered it with chicken and it was delicious. The kimchi that came with it was the best I've ever tasted. He also added an egg free of charge. I forgot to take a picture of the mango slushie I ordered, but it was SO good and soothed my fruity craving. We stayed a few hours to study and will definitely be back. The food and drinks were yummy and the vibes were immaculate.

Seoul Train bowl!
Chastity C.

This place is ultra hip and has an inviting vibe. The food and coffee is delicious, and the owner is super nice. I I tried the Bulgogi bowl and the creamy Carmel iced coffee. OMG it was so delightful! I didn't want to order a bowl because it was 8 am but the owner convince me to try it and I'm glad I did! I definitely will be returning !

They were kinda enough to let us bring a small ice cream cake, which they kept in their freezer. When we were ready for the cake, they placed the candles we brought, lit them up, and sang happy birthday! Really made the celebration special :) Tip: I recommend reserving ahead of time on the Yelp app!

We tried some of everything, the Spicy Beef Bulgogi, Spicy Chicken, Sliced Ribeye, Garlic Pork Belly, Calamari and Scallops to name a few. We also ordered the Gyoza, a few sushi rolls and white & fried rice. After we ordered, we went to the sauce bar to grab our sauces and the area was very dirty. Some of the sauces were empty as well. They should have someone on sauce duty to keep that area clean because it was disgusting! I chose what I could and we headed back to our table. The food was fresh with the exception of the seafood, I wasn't a fan! My favorite was the Spicy Beef Bulgogi! Unfortunately, it did take a while for our server to change out the grill after we finished cooking. At one point, we both started coughing because the grill was smoking profusely as we waited for it to be changed out lol. Overall, I would give 3.5 stars. Our server was very friendly and the food was pretty good but I would probably try another Korean BBQ spot next time.

The staff were quick and nice. There are bells next to our table and we can use that bell to ask for service, what a great idea! We ordered Korean pancake with seafood, spicy tofu soup with beef(comes with rice), Galbi (bbq short ribs)(comes with rice), and a grape flavored soju. Just like other Korean restaurants, we were provided with unlimited banchans and salad, and they were all fresh and delicious. The Korean pancake is HUGE. It's also not too much breading but full of leeks and onion, and it was thin and crispy. The Spicy Tofu Soup with beef tasted decent, but I'd like more beef in it. The Galbi was good portion (2 long pieces, 1 small pieces and 2 bones with some meat on) and the marinade tasted good, but I still think $44 is a tad high. The only star was taken off is really the price for the bbq meat. I can see premium protein could be charged higher, but pork, chicken and flat iron steak are some cheaper cut that I personally think is a bit high. I might come back during lunch time to take advantage of their lunch menu tho!

My coworker nd I were just talking about how good the chicken is usually at kpot but not this location. Service was horrible, the server was trying to be friendly which is great, but there was like 3 people in the place, and I am sure that the other person eating was a worker on their break. So it shouldn't have taken very long to get drinks and to service us, I ended up having to get everything myself, all utensils, soup ladles, extra plates. There was only 3 people in the building eating there should be no reason for us not to be checked on, or sodas refilled. The server that brought our food out, practically threw the food on the table, we were trying to make space for everything and he was holding a bowl of rice and I guess we took to long and he pretty much slammed it on the table and walked away, and we told the server this and he said that he was made about something, which is not an excuse for this to have happened! Fried rice was horrible! White rice seemed to have been served awhile ago and it was hard on top. Everyone in the building wasn't paying attention to anything, I waited for 10 mins to my bill checked out at my table, I went to the restroom which is another story! And my bill and card still hadn't been picked up from the table, I told my friend let's go and walked to the front thinking someone would finally come but no, they didn't I stood there looking for someone, could've walked right out and they wouldn't have noticed us gone. But I am not that kind of person, and I stood there waiting for my bill to be rung up. Bathroom had no soap! How are employees washing their hands! All the utensils pilled up, 90% of them looked like they needed to be rewashed, and there was a mildew smell coming from that area, take it all down and clean it!

I didn't even know they had these tables until it was too late and we were getting our food from the buffet already. We came from out of town to visit family so we didn't get to talk much since our tables were separated. As for the hot pot the soup bases were a bit salty. We got the Szechuan Spicy and the Japanese Miso. The portions were small when ordering the dishes so we had to order multiple times. Sauce bar was plenty and cooked appetizers were good. Dessert section my kids were of course happy about since they love Melona bars. Getting our waitress to refill our waters took a long time, I had to go and look for her to get it. In NYC normally when our soup base is running low they offer to refill it but this place didn't. Not sure if it's a VA thing but getting our waitress was a pain to get a hold of so we didn't even bother asking for a refill.
