Cupbop - Korean BBQ in a Cup

We got it to go, so I can't judge on the atmosphere or actually eating there. Our food was really good. I do wish there were a few more pieces of meat but was still happy with the portions and it was all really good. It stayed fresh while getting it to go.

The food here was yummy. The service is set up like a Chipotle where all the ingredients are seen behind glass and you can pick and choose what you like. On the menu, they have several predetermined choices or you can create your own. The dining area is casual where you could bring a family with young children. I thought the prices were reasonable, and the food was good.

First time here and really enjoyed it! Pretty simple menu of types of bowls to choose from including any customization you want. They have pre-selected bowls but also have the autonomy to choose your own ingredients. On my visit I had the chicken bowl with extra protein and made pretty spicy. This bowl had great flavors and really enjoyed the spice level. I also paired mine with pot stickers that were also delicious. Restaurant was super clean and plenty of seating. Employees were so friendly and truly over the top nice. Including a small celebration for being a 1st time customer. Will for sure be coming back.

Excellent chicken bop bowl and Korean Corn Dog (cheese inside plus a hot dog). Spice level 3 definitely had some spice, and 10 was VERY hot, but flavorful. Would get it again in a heartbeat!

The food was really tasty and the price was good, but I would say this specific location needs some work to be a five star experience. You could tell that the manager is really great but that the rest of the staff is maybe going through training. I'm not sure how long this location has been open! They also did not have a working bathroom, and it felt like the space was a little messy. We dined in because we were just there for a pitstop, but I think next time I get this food, I would do it as takeout! I would highly recommend the Korean corndog, check out that cheese pull!!!

It's good but I don't think they give you enough meat for the amount that they charge. I have been to other similar restaurants and have had better quality of food for the price. But if you are looking for some fast Korean BBQ it is ok.

After checking out the CupBop food truck, then coming here for an Elite event - I was hooked. So after a meeting nearby left my tummy grumbling, I knew just where to go.SPACE: Located off of I225 and Colfax, CupBop is in a great spot for a fast casual meal. I think the space was previously a Which Wich. There's still lots of white subway tile, stainless steel, and bright pops of yellow throughout the dinning area. SIPS: Cupbop offers a variety of the standard soda and tea options, and a small cooler features some Korean beverages for those feeling more adventurous. SUSTENANCE: This is where CupBop truly shines. I've had a couple of the bowls and all I can say is: YUM! I think my favorite has to be the Mandoo Bop, because I am an absolute sucked for pot stickers and this bad boy comes loaded with them. The glass noodles, rice, and cabbage mix are delicious. CupBop uses a 10 point scale to represent their spice levels. I usually choose something towards the middle of the scale, maybe a smidge higher when I'm feeling extra spicy.SERVICE: Each time I've been here, everyone has been super friendly and helpful. My order is always perfect and utterly delicious. CupBop is definitely a tasty spot in Aurora. I'll absolutely be back.

Overall... meh. It's definitely a unique concept and it's awesome to see Korean food coming into the mainstream, but the execution isn't great and could be much much better. The positives of this experience is that the food is customizable and you go on a tablet and choose what you want. Unfortunately the negatives truly outweighed the good. I got the kid size cupbop with bulgogi. The rice, was hard and it felt like it was in the rice cooker for hours and hours or they didn't add enough water to it which caused it to get hard. They also pretty much covered the entire bowl with sauce, which was way too much and resulted in a watery mess. I don't think I can give this place another shot. It sucks that when we move these popular foods to the mainstream in a fast food capacity, the quality just goes down and especially with the price you pay.

I would give this location an A for effort, but the flavor profile is far from what I was expecting. As a Korean, I would probably not return. We ordered the black garlic pork ramen in where the noodles weren't cooked fully and broth didn't have the umame that would be expected from a black garlic pork ramen. The cup bobs we tried were the B bop and rock bop. For the chicken, the chicken seemed like it was ground chicken with flour, which gave the mcdonalds texture. The bulgogi was mediocre. For individuals that haven't had korean food prior, I would just state that this isn't what Korean food is supposed to be like.

I am a regular at this location I buy cupbop 1-2 per week for the past year or so. Sadly, the quality has gone significantly down and I am sadly slowly and slowly going there less and less. They have become very stingy with the sauce and the toppings. There's a full bowl of noodles and rice but barely any toppings. They don't put enough sauce to cover all of the rice and noodles because it's just a lot of them and less of everything else so you get just dry rice chunks in there. They also stopped doing the full hot dog corn dogs which seems a little odd for a CORN DOG in general. I talked to the manager and she said it was a corporate decision to do that. Well not such a great decision as those used to be great but sadly now we only get half a hotdog corn dog....Overall I love cupbop but it's not what it used to be a year ago. I'm not sure if it's the new hires that aren't as good at making the bowls or if corporate things have changed but it's 100% clear quality is very low now.
