Loved eating at Sopo! If you're looking for a quick meal or something to bring to the office, this is perfect.Everything I had was great. If I had to choose one standout item, the gold pumpkin mash was out of this world. The saucy dumplings were also something quite special.The service is great too! No servers, you order at the counter. The environment is clean and tidy with a small seating area in the back.

Food is pretty good and the staff is nice! My favorite is the beef bulgogi and the spicy pork. I will be deducting a star though since I wanted to just try a small piece of meat so that I may like it next time. The manager straight up said no. I'm already spending $24 on the bowl. Maybe I'm a bit entitled, but I think that's just the manager being cheap.Overall though, I would recommend this place.

Sopo gives me Korean Chipotle vibes and is obviously miles better than Chipotle. Everything is fresh and is made to prepare. I got the beef bulgogi kimbap that was quite tasty. I really liked the fish cake inside of the kimbap and learned that that can be a part of kimbap (and makes it quite tasty at that). I would stop by again for a grab and go quick dinner.

It is an unassuming place under scaffolded area near Penn station so it's a pretty convenient spot! I think most people ordered takeout. I also ordered takeout with a friend and it was delicious. I loved how they already had set meals but still gave the option to customize. The tofu and egg were cooked to perfection. The only gripe I have is they mixed up our sides. It was confusing at first. I would stop by again if I were ever in the area. It looked very efficient and they were quick to attend to me when I stepped in.

Was not the biggest fan of this spot. The meat was dry and flavor was off. The dipping sauces tasted weird to me as well. Wish the salad had some sort of dressing on it. Other sides were average. Got the Ubereats deal of buy one get one free but I ended up not eating the second one I got.

I make an effort to try new places occasionally during work lunches. Sopo had been on my list because I'd walked past a few times, and I'm glad I tried it.Think Korean fast casual food, bowls that are made with your standard base, protein and toppings. I tried purple rice and spicy pork with roasted potatoes, soy marinated egg and Napa cabbage kimchi. Delicious, at par with any other Korean fare in the area (which is saying a lot), and the staff were particularly friendly.

This new Korean fast food place opened in our building. I've been twice. It's Chipotle-style where you build your own bowl. I love the purple rice and the sweet and spicy sauce. The bulgogi is ok and the chicken is very good. Wish they had a few more choices for vegetables like carrots or green beans to lighten this up a bit. For me this lasts for two lunches, so it's a good value.The manager comped me an aioli on one of my visits because he wanted me to try it. I'm not usually a fan of aiolis, but this one I like.

This place is like a Korean version of chipotle. Coworkers and I decided to check it out and ordered online for pickup (the estimated time wasn't accurate and our food was ready earlier than stated). Even after telling the staff our names for pickup, they insisted for a receipt so make sure you have that handy which is a bit cumbersome. I built my own plate and selected wild squid, purple rice, soy dipped egg, kale namul, and cucumber kimchi with a side of samjang aioli. Also added a side of beef bulgogi and got the Korean iced corn tea. High quality food, but the portion size can be worked on. Was a bit disappointed with the wild squid but the beef bulgogi was tasty. My favorite out of it all was actually the samjang aioli. My coworker also got a bulgogi kimbap which was about $14 (similar price for a plate) which is expensive. We expected to be stuffed with filling but was average, which was a bit disappointing. Not sure if it's worth the trek again.

This is a good place for a quick lunch! We grabbed take out from here. The tofu plate was pretty good. Perfectly fried tofu. The gold pumpkin mash was delicious. The smoked chicken plate was also pretty good. I do regret ordering the salad sides for each of these plates though because it was so dry and just not very appetizing looking. THe only dressing you really get is gochujang and I don't think it went very well together. Baby loved the sweet soy roasted potatoes. Overall, a bit pricey in my opinion for what you get. But has decent food!

Sopo is almost like the Korean DIG. It's pretty solid. Portions are decent, the protein options are great, and there are plenty of side options as well.
