This little shop has been my weekly guilty pleasure for several years. No really, if you want some good korean comfort food come here, please. The owner is always a delight when you enter the store and while they have a small menu that doesn't mean that their food isn't anything to sneeze at. I recommend the combo cup pop, I almost always get this, the combo of the three flavors never gets old to me. If you aren't into seafood or have an allergy go for the bulgogi cup pop, the combo of sweet and savory beef will definitely make you a believer! Also try their appetizers, the gyoza are always piping hot and delicious as is their seaweed salad and the gigantic omelette. You can thank me later. read more

A small hole in the wall restaurant located behind a gas station. It can be easy to miss. A very causal atmosphere inside with a few small tables. I almost always order to-go during lunch hour. It's not terrible busy. I've had the Spicy Bulgogi Cup and the Combo Cup (Spicy & Non Spicy Bulgogi with crab meat salad). The meat is tender and very flavorful. They also have Kimchi and pairs great with the food. If you want a quick Korean bbq fix this is the spot to try. read more

Wow! This is my first time here, and it most certainly won't be my last! I came here after a friend recommended it. This is the first time I've ever had Korean BBQ. I ordered the Spicy Bulgogi, with the lowest level of Spicy. If you're trying this for the first time, I definitely recommend trying the lowest first because I LOVE spicy food and my mouth is on fire and my nose is running from this! But man it's so good! Also, it says that it's served in a "cup" but this is definitely a very large bowl! The woman working here (I assume it's the owner) is so sweet and friendly! She helped me pick what to order and also has checked up on me a couple of times. Only negative aspect I can find so far is the lack of fountain drinks, so I had to pay for a bottle of water. But I'm hoping that's something that would come once they gain more popularity and business. Definitely check it out! read more

FINALLY! We finally have Korean in Murfreesboro. This place is excellent! I wish it was full Korean BBQ, but this is a great start. I had their combo with Pork, Beef, and Seafood (crab), which was EXCELLENT. The only slight complaint is that I personally wish that there was an ALL MEAT option without rice, even if it was double the price. But this is across the street from MTSU so it fits that clientele perfectly. Go check them out, you will not be disappointed! read more

Needed a quick lunch while in Murfreesboro on business but I wanted something different and "Cup Pop" delivered. For the first time eating here I opted for the combo cup and it gave a little sample of a lot--rice, noodles, bulgogi, chicken, dumplings--and it was all flavorful, fresh, spicy and good. I would certainly come back if in the area. If I lived near I'd likely get carry out quite often as there were good meat and meatless options. Dining in was simple with enough room for those of us there that day at least and there's plenty of parking. Nothing "fancy" inside of course, this is a quick in and out kind of place but the energy and time went into the food. So prepare to wait just a bit and you will pay a bit more than you would at a burger joint or even a Chinese carry out place at lunch time. read more

I came here never having tried Korean BBQ and not quite sure what to expect. What I discovered is that I Love Korean BBQ and more specifically I love this place. The woman who helped me very patiently walked me through the menu explaining what everything was and making recommendations. Once I selected the dish I wanted she offered to tailor the spiciness of the meal to my preference. The food was delicious! Unlike anything I've ever tried before and super flavorful. I had the spicy bulgogi prepared with a spice level of 2/5 and it was a massive amount of food! I would hands down recommend this place to any one and will definitely be back! Also I am now hooked on Korean pop music as I just watched what has to be the Korean version of American Idol while I ate. read more

I don't know how Cup Pop works so well, but it does. I have no idea how mixing all of those different flavors and different textures in one bowl works, but it does. I just stopped questioning it when I find myself craving to make the 45 minute drive out to Murfreesboro for it. This is Murfreesboro's secret gem. It's tucked away in this little corner behind a gas station or something and it's nearly impossible to spot from the road due to its little sign. When you walk in, definitely not impressionable. Just a few scattered tables, a waiting bench, and some knock off k-pop posters. But don't let the decor steer you away! This is a true hole-in-the-wall establishment experience. The owner is so sweet and she was very patient with me the first time I visited because I had never been to a Korean place that mixed all these different things together. I was used to your typical sit down Korean restaurant - either a bbq place or one that served copious amounts of bonchon and special hot bowls. Nothing so fast casual like this. Needless to say, the handful of times I've visited here, I always get the same thing: the combo bowl. The combo bowl is FRICKIN' DELICIOUS. You get beef AND pork bulgogi, a crab salad, white rice, japchae noodles, lettuce, and gyoza all to mix into make this wonderful flavor explosion in your mouth. It's a little spicy, tangy, sweet, fresh, and savory all at the same time. Like I've said before, I can't even begin to explain how all the flavors and textures work together, but just trust me when I say they just do. If you're going to come in and compare this to authentic Korean food, just don't. You won't find that ANYWHERE in Tennessee. Good, authentic Asian food is hard to come by in a state like this and I have yet to find any that are up to standard. But for a quick fast casual lunch to satisfy your Korean food cravings? This place is absolutely perfect. read more

I had the combo bowl and it was ok. For the price I honestly expected more bang. To an extent, the dish reminded of something you'd find in a freezer section of any grocery store but improved a bit. It wasn't terrible, just not spectacular. As far as the "ambience", the place is clean but small with a tv that was turned up to full volume. Said tv was tuned to Sesame Street... blasting at level 11. No children in the place. Just blasting Sesame Street for all the adults on their lunch breaks. I turned it down to a reasonable volume only to have the owner turn it back to full blast again moments later. After a little time passes, I may give it another try but will definitely get it to to-go if the tv is still blasting away. read more

Nice house. We liked it very much. There were so many rave reviews of the place near us, we had to try it. Korean BBQ in a cup is a misnomer. From the previous posts, we had to solve the riddle posed there. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food, but said the portions were too small for the price. There is no cup. The food is served in a biodegradable boat. I had the combo cup and the three flavors, beef, seafood and pork were distinct and wonderful. Along with the meat, the meal is served with two wonderful dumplings, sweet potato cellophane noodles and a cabbage salad. You get a choice of white or fried rice as a bed for the meat. My only complaint was there was too much rice in comparison. I am a fire eater and was pleased with the amount of spice. It satisfied me but was just right for my wife. Dessert was a pleasant surprise. Hidden in the ice cream freezer were wonderful Korean ice cream treats. We tried two unique ones. We tried the corn (yes corn) ice cream sandwich and the green tea with red bean ice cream sandwich. Forget the idea of a cookie to make the sandwich. The outside was a wafer much like the old ice cream cones. Flavors of both were great. The real great surprise was the carb content. We Americans love our sugar, but this is not true of other countries. Located next to a major university (MTSU) and student housing, I would expect this place to be busy when classes are in session. We liked it and moved it up in our list of quick food take out, when needed. The ice cream is worth a trip by itself. read more

When in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, this is THE barbecue place to hit, as we did upon recommendation…read moreby our friends at Music World/Drummer's Den. We received really good service here & were treated very well. They were surprised to hear we'd traveled from Arizona. Our food was very tasty! I ordered the BBQ Pork Nachos & my boyfriend ordered the BBQ wings. Sooooo good & let me tell you that this restaurant smells so delicious upon entering! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it as I type this!

We come hear periodically but lately it has been more frequently in the last 4 months. Our go to…read moreorder is the Bama wrap with pork meal. Its packed with a good amount of moist pork, and then you get a good sized side which is usually the potato salad or mac & cheese and then the drink. Price is good for the portions you get and for the quality. Service is always good amd staff are always friendly.

The sandwich which they say is plain. It has pickles slaw and Mayo. I has to put it on bread to eat

I LOVE the Kpot chain and this location is excellent!…read more We had a pretty big party and they were able to get us in without a reservation within 20 minutes. Our waitress was REALLY hard working and I could feel her stress. I told her to relax, she's doing great. It was probably a bad idea to bring so many people here that have never been to a Kpot before. Even I was overwhelmed! However, she was great and through it all, the staff here were phenomenal with so much back and forth of what people ordered. I definitely will stick to 4 or less people from now on haha. The food was fresh and delicious and I loved loved LOVED the curry based broth, something we don't have in Raleigh, NC. I will definitely be back when we're in the area again.

Our family frequents K-Pot in Murf, and it's consistently a solid choice for when you can't decide…read morebetween BBQ and Hot Pot. Having both options at one table is a total win, especially for a group with different tastes. The Highlights: * Better Quality Meats: Compared to some other AYCE (All You Can Eat) spots, the meat quality here is definitely a step up. * Must-Order Cuts: The Galbi is flavorful and tender, and the KPOT Steak is another standout--it's high-quality and cooks up perfectly on the grill. * Spacious Vibes: This place is huge! It's very spacious for big parties, so if you're bringing the whole family or a large group of friends, you won't feel like you're squeezed in. The Tech & Service: * iPad Ordering: I love the convenience of ordering from the iPad right at the table. It makes the process feel seamless. * One at a Time: Just a heads up--even if you order multiple quantities of an item, they tend to still only bring one out at a time. It can slow things down a bit when you're hungry, but it does help prevent food waste. * The Sauce Bar: The sauce area is fantastic with tons of options, though it can get pretty crowded during peak hours. You might have to time your trip to the bar strategically! Overall: The prices are decent for the amount and quality of food you get. It's a reliable, fun experience that keeps our family coming back.

I tried Arisu which is another KBBQ restaurant but didn't really like the vibe there. It's the complete opposite here at Fire KBBQ! Honestly loved the vibe they have going on. My family and I just went here for lunch today and it was overall a good experience minus a few hiccups. I will say their service is a bit lacking. Usually service for KBBQ is pretty quick because they're not the ones doing the cooking. But here it was kind of slow. Our waitress was nice , not sure if they had too many customers and not enough staff. Our grill also had issues lighting the first couple times we ordered our proteins until eventually it just gave out and we ended up having to move tables in the middle of our meal which was a little off putting. The food was good though. At least most of the items we tried. My top faves are defiantly the corn cheese and the spicy beef bulgogi. The regular beef bulgogi is good too. Marinated nicely and had a lot of flavor. The dishes I would probably skip on next time would be the rice cake, potato salad and spicy shrimp. Rice cake was bland. The potato salad isn't like the typical Korean potato salad you get at authentic KBBQ and the spicy shrimp didn't have much flavor. Overall our experience at Fire Korean BBQ was good and I would come back to try their other menu items. They have a lot of good options to choose from other than the unlimited KBBQ.
