Their fried chicken is so crispy and their galbi was good as well. There lunch special was worth the price and I was able to share with my boyfriend. The seating is limited and it's quite small inside but clean. The workers are nice and you order and pay at the front then grab a table. read more

Hidden Gem‼ Definitely off the beaten path. Tried this place based on recommendation of a family member. Everything we had was great. Love the chicken wings. Ordered a 20 pc for the crew. Flavors lemon pepper, honey, garlic, and original. All crispy, juicy, and popping with flavor. The fried rice was light and delicious. The dumplings were pan fried delights of deliciousness. A day later still thinking about the food. Not much to say about service as we were greeted when we walked in, placed our order, and food brought to the table. Everything else is help yourself. Very low key restaurant but I do look forward to going back. read more

Small mom-and-pop type restaurant that you probably need Yelp to be able to find. I got chicken wings and ramen. The chicken wings were really good, flavorful and crispy. The ramen was decent - I'd give it about a 3.5/5. The broth could have been a bit more flavorful. Would I go again? Yes. read more

Without a doubt, some of the best Korean chicken around! It's always a must-order with any meal at Wow Chicken & Cupbop.

Great wings and crinkle fries in a cute Mom and Pop shop. Fried to perfection. Super nice owners. We liked the "Hot Fried" the best. Kind of a dry rub. The Soy Garlic was a little sweet. We asked and they gave us a little kimchi on the side. Check them out if you are a fan of Korean Fried Chicken. read more

Wow Chicken & Cupbop - Fried goodness. - Korean Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place was amazing. I'll definitely be back. Real Korean Fried Chicken that was full of flavor

Truly a hole in the wall, if you know you know kind of place! The most crispy and crunchy fried chicken that is our personal favorite when we're on this side of town. Korean fried chicken is top tier and we love their honey garlic flavor and using the fries to dip into the sauce. Super yummy! These Korean aunties know how to throw it down in the kitchen. Youre not getting world class service but that's truly not the point! These ladies know what they're doing and their food speaks to it! Some advanced options I was impressed by with their shik-hye (sweet rice drink) and their hwe naengmyun (raw fish spicy cold noodles) if you're not into raw fish like that I would definitely get the regular bibim cold noodles because the flavors of their sauces are super yummy. A well rounded spot with its unapologetic authenticity. With gateway drug chicken to lure you in, and delicious specialty dishes for you to explore and try! read more

It's been a while since our first visit to Wow Chicken Cupbop. It was so good, it was time to visit again. There were definitely more drink choices. Dad had the Coconut drink, mine was the Melon version, and hubby had the Arizona drink. We bought a tub of kimchi and file fish each and was enjoying that while we waited for the food. We got the 6-piece wings in Honey Garlic and Sweet & Spicy with fries and can of Lemonade. I love, love their flavorful Japchae. Best in town, in my opinion. Also got the 7-piece drumstick in Original and Sweet & Spicy. They gave us complimentary daikon radish and kimchi. All so good and plenty of food to take home. read more

A hole in the wall, but don't let that discourage you from trying the food and all its flavors! Small family business so go show your support. We came in and nobody else was there, so pretty quiet. We placed our order, and the food came soon after. I really enjoyed my food! Especially the dumplings ;they were bustting. Super juicy and now on my top 3 choices for dumplings. I really enjoyed my pork cutlet it was crunchy and the sauce on top was perfect! My plate was 10/10 big portions had to take some home! The SPICY nuggets are no joke they got some serious kick! Super good but super hot They have lots of options to drink from and some Korean drinks in the fridge. A very homie space And once we finished our meal and left all the ladies that were there told us goodbye read more

We've visited this place for the second time and the quality stays the same. Food is served fresh and hot - chicken is crispy and savory. The hot stone bibimbap was one the best I had with their really good chili sauce which came with soup and side dishes. The service was always nice and getting good vibes from this place. It feels homey and close to Asia when I am here. The place also serves some korean drinks and side dishes. One of the good places that i'll surely recommend. read more

I can tell I fell into a legit Korean restaurant, can't wait to go back! read more

They have awesome wings with fries. They got some great flavors, sweet and spicy, lemon pepper, and honey garlic is my favorite.

Best Korean fried chicken spot in San Antonio, Texas. We randomly tried this spot while looking for Korean restaurants near the Korean market area. Ratings were good so we decided to give it a go. Theres two categories to their menu: Korean fried chicken and Korean food. We ordered a 7 Piece sweet and spicy along with a 10 piece drumstick in soy garlic. The chicken came out piping hot and delicious. My preference is the sweet and spicy! There's a real good kick to it and irresistibly addictive. I can't stop thinking to go back as it's rare to find Korean fried chicken in San Antonio. Next time, I want to try the Korean noodle options they have. Also, they sell Korean side dishes in fridges which looks pretty legit. Worth a try! read more

It's closed on Sundays. read more

Delicious hot crispy chicken made to order and made right. We had the lemon pepper chicken! It was perfectly seasoned and perfectly crisp. Each bite had the perfect texture and temperature. Service was amazing. I called over the phone, and she received my order, and it was nicely priced as well. Only 14 dollars for ten piece wings. It has a great setting, and you can sit inside or take it to go. Thank you for serving up delicious food! read more

Delicious food, best Korean fried chicken I've ever tasted! Flavors are so rich and bold, and the food is unbelievably fresh.

Huge selection of bottled / canned beverages including Ramune, Milky drinks, bubble teas, and Calpico. American drinks included sodas, Arizona teas, bottled / sparkling water.

My daughter told me about this place and I'm so glad that she did. It is a small restaurant but very good and the staff were extremely nice! I'm here on a Saturday and there was plenty of parking. I went in ordered and sat down, and it didn't take long at all for my food to be done. I ordered one of their specials it was 6 pcs wings with fries and a drink for $9.99. I got the soy garlic flavored wings and they were fried to perfection and the sauce was amazing. My son ordered the fish and shrimp with fries and a drink special for $12.99 and he ate all of it. Which means it was very good because he is picky. I definitely recommend this place. Next time I go I plan on trying the Korean food because it looked so good! I even ordered my husband a 10 piece of wings to go and his were flavored with honey garlic sauce. He loved them and said he would have ate them without any sauce because they were fried perfectly and taste amazing! read more

Average looking chicken spot the food is top tier. Some of the best chicken I've had.

I also want to add their black bean noodle is amazing. My go to place for sure!! Love this place will be there tomorrow.

When you walk up to this place you definitely see the old school vibe I has to it, which in my opinion always has the best food! And welp.. it didn't disappoint! The Kimchi Fried Rice maybe the best rendition of a fried rice dish I've had and that's says alot as I love fried rice! It was seasoned well, rice was fresh and sticky so I knew it was day old! The wings were superb! Spicy Garlic is always a favorite of mine! Will definitely take the trip there again and if you haven't been, make it a stop when you're on that side of town.. or make it an outing! read more

Great crispy and flavorful fried chicken! You can't find this type of fried chicken just anywhere!

Been to South Korea, and tried other Korean chicken here in SA, this is the best one!

All I can say is WOW. I will be back. Food service and ambiance, love it. This place needs to be more hyped read more

Fried chicken and bibimbap were delicious, but the whole atmosphere of the restaurant felt uncomfortable. Once you get your food, nobody checks on you and you actually have to serve yourself. It would be nice if somebody mentioned that in the beginning, but people just stare and talk about you. I know because I know a little Korean. Anyway, there's no service, so don't tip. It's the kind of place where you place your order on the counter and pick up the food. I wouldn't come back because it just felt so uncomfortable to have people watch you eat. read more

Place is now called Wow Chicken and Cupbop. Had the chance to order twice from this place and it was so good! We ordered takeout and food was fresh and hot. Chicken wings are bigger compared to Wingstop and Buffalo Wild Wings. Flavors are ON POINT! The Honey Garlic flavor has the perfect amount of garlic taste that os beautiful balanced with the sweetness of honey. I'm not a big fan of garlic but this was SO GOOD. The sweet and spicy was very good too, but I think it could use more spice. It didn't kill my tastebuds, so I was able to enjoy my wings without shedding tears or sweats. I guess if it had more spice, I'd be paying for it later (which I didn't). It is my favorite and I recommend it. I'm excited to try other flavors! We also ordered the blackbean noodles and the spicy pork cupbop. The noodles were not take-out friendly. It's best to eat them freshly served. When we got home, the noodles were stuck together and it took awhile for the sauce to loosen them up. Saice was still noce and hot. We lived about 10-15 mins away. Flavor is just as you expect it to be, blackbeans. But the pork and the veggies balanced it to have a more hearty flavor. It was delicious, an upgrade to the instant noodles. My absolute favorite is the spicy pork cupbop. I've ordered twice now. It comes with a scoop of rice, japchae noodles, a bed of spinach that two fried dumplings sits on, your choice of meat, and sauces drizzled ontop. It was heavy and VERY plentiful. It fed my husband and me. Japchae noodles was good and flavorful. The sauces had a good amount of heat and the spicy pork was spicy (could always be spicier lols). It was a great combination and worth the price. Smells DELICIOUS! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Don't let this small hole-in-the-wall fool you. read more

The best of the best Korean fried chicken! We are constantly craving Korean fried chicken and were so excited to find this place. It absolutely did not disappoint--the sweet and spicy fried chicken is perfectly fried and crispy and is covered with just the right amount of sauce. They also have other Korean dishes such as black bean noodles and spicy seafood noodles. We like to order the whole fried chicken with the sweet and spicy sauce and tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes). They do get busy at times so do call ahead. As another reviewer mentioned the phone number listed on Yelp is incorrect, the number to place an order is: (210) 463-9133. read more

Wow--was I surprised to learn that San Antonio has a Korean fried chicken restaurant. I have been "jonesing" to try some Korean Fried chicken after watching a bunch of Korean dramas on Netflix. It's like the folks in Korea are always eating this stuff and I wanted to try some too. Does that happen to anybody else besides me??? Anyhow, I was on a quest to get some Kalbi (Korean BBQ and banchan) from a nearby Korean market with a little known restaurant inside when I spotted this place. Korean Chicken and Cupbop is just a small little spot off Rittiman road. The focus is on fried chicken wings and fried drumstick covered in different sauces, kind of like the Korean version of WingStops. I ordered honey garlic and sweet and spicy wings. I can't tell you which one was which; however, I found one to be too sweet & sticky for me. I also ordered some seafood soup with noodles. Go check them out. This is a unique, but not fancy dining experience in San Antonio. The prices are reasonable and the portions were plentiful. I will go back and try some different flavors for the wings and try this thing called cupbop which is Korean BBQ in a cup that is growing in popularity across the U.S. Y'all know how we do, you better go get you some. Note: I think the name has changed to Wow Chicken & Cupbop. read more

If you like fried chicken you need to get over here right now, if you love fried chicken you can't not be here on the regular! I've been dying for a Korean Fried chicken spot but I'm not being biased when I tell you this place is on point! Chicken is crispy juicy perfection, and with all the sauce variations you'll never be bored, I mean fried chicken is already an s tier food as it is, Wow really takes it to the next level though. I will say I would like some sauces more readily available and a soda fountain, I'm not a fan of booties and cans. They also had items listed that were not in season just FYI. Restaurant is small so beware for large parties over 6 but it's cozy. All in all it's truly a newly discovered gem for me so I hope you share in the reward. read more
