If a human could be any more of a fan of this food truck they'd own it!! I love Cupbop's bulgogi and anything spicy. My tastebuds do a happy dance knowing what's about to go down. I follow their schedule on Facebook and wait for every Thursday to roll around so I can visit them at the Gallivan center. I love love love Cupbop because I feel like I'm home in Los Angeles again. I found their full route on: https://www.facebook.com/CupbopKoreanBBQ read more

Eat Cupbop, poop gold! Cupbop is Korean BBQ in a cup. Just a simple container with rice, lettuce, meat, and sauces (you determine how spicy you want it on a 1-10 scale). POSITIVES: ummm.... How about amazing Korean bbq in a cup at a great price? NEGATIVES: Not enough cup of bop. PRICE: $6-8 per cup of bop. RECOMMENDED: I highly recommend asking for your cupbop "sloppy" style (extra sauce). Also ask top added lime mayo (the white sauce). There are food trucks all over Utah, so I suggest you find one and get some now! read more

Cupbop - Food Trucks Near Me - Provo, Utah

Just had Cupbop food for the first time after hearing my friends rave about it. I was lucky enough to attend the event they had at their house yesterday (yay!). The bbq smelled so good that I broke my 7 year non-mammal diet. The cupbop was delicious--probably the best Korean food I've had in Utah. Japchae--mmmMm good! Tips: Sauce: the higher the number, the hotter it is. Around 7 is a good number if you're an average hot person. If you're like me who loves hot peppers--maybe try 8-10. It's really good sauce! Heard they're going to have a 2nd food truck--hope they sell Korean Chicken Wings b/c I'll definitely be all over it! Can't wait for their next local food truck event! Overall, highly reccommend! read more

We met across a crowded car park, and it was love at first Mandoo. We talked, we compared some of our favourite things like rice, noodles, and spicy pork. We laughed, we shared a silence of understanding, tears of joy may have been shed, it was like we had known each other forever. As the lunch hour flew past, we said farewell, but not goodbye. 7 days later, we met again. Our greetings were warm, we were so happy to see each other, it was like no time had passed. You came home with me, wrapped up tightly and warm. As we drove Daft Punk came on the radio, you were spectacular, and forever now when I think of you, all I will sing is "We're up all night for Bulgogi." read more

My daughter is always thrilled to find vegan options, which they do have here. I thought it would be similar to Koko lunchbox, or possibly Fusion--or even better, maybe Sam Hawk. It was quite different. I didn't like my food at all. What I didn't like was that they poured a thick mayonnaisey, kind of thousand island -ish sauce over the top of everything in the bowl. I did not like it. I will not visit again unless someone else is paying and really wants to go. Probably I should give it a second try, and try a different dish, but it will be hard. read more

Shhh! Just review! These guys are hilarious and seriously very funny when they are working. Food they provide has been great! I've tried all 4 main items on their menu and I have always been pleased with their food! The sauces they have provide a unique twist to Korean food. Also, I enjoy how simple they've made Korean BBQ. If you want something to warm you up on a chilly day, this is the spot! read more

3 stars for the entire experience, 2 for the food. I'll go back and try it again, and ask them to use the spicy sauce, but leave all the other ones off. It's just so sweet and so much mayo. No wonder everyone loves it. It's even sweeter than the sweet pork at all the "Mexican" places. Until I get something without the sweet. I can't handle it. I got level 8. I just got hints of tingle. Level 10, here I come. Perhaps without all the mayo, it will give more spiciness -------------- I've been told by a friend that was there with me that this was not the normal guy and the spice level was lower than usual. I'll certainly be back to try again. read more

ONE OF A KIND! I've tried food from dozens of food trucks in California including a few korean/mexican fusion trucks but this is the first truck I've seen that sells just korean food and it's amazing! The cup that the food comes in is huge, I was so stuffed after. I got the combo so I got to try the beef, spicy pork, and noodles, which were all fantastic. The cup was filled with flavor! I ordered mine with a spicy level of 3 because I am a pansy when it comes to heat but I think I can go up to a 5 next time! (Their spicy sauce is delicious!) Another reason this place deserves 5 stars is the experience you get when you come here. The guys running the truck were so energetic and hilarious we didn't stop talking about them for the rest of the day! Keep up the good work cupbop! read more

All I can say is "wow." Cupbop is one of the best food trucks I've ever tasted. If you dig on spicy order your meal with a level 10, but be warned, it is HOT. The noodle bop is fantastic. It's hearty and filled with veggies and rice, so for the price you get a long bang for your buck. And the fellas that run the truck are hilarious, fun and just super cool. They make the experience. If you are by Cupbop and have the chance to eat their food, do it. It's a must. read more

Cupbop literally always sounds good to me. It is so hard to drive or walk by this place because it always smells so good! I am not an expert in Korean BBQ. In fact, this is the first Korean BBQ place I have been, but I am so impressed! They have a super cute atmosphere. This is an actual location and not a food truck, but they have a food truck painted over the window which I think is a cute touch. They always have fun Korean pop music playing which I really think adds to the vibe. There are chairs and tables outside, but it is very casual. I almost never stay here to eat my food--I take it home to eat instead. I have tried just about every bowl you can get here. I highly recommend the kko-kko bop or the hot bop. You can pick how spicy you want your food to be on a scale of 1-10. I usually go with the 4 because it is the perfect mixture of sweet and spicy without being too much. They give you a pretty good amount of food for $8! Biggest complaint is the parking situation. It is kind of a nightmare. If you can find a parking spot, it is at the most incredibly difficult angle. They need a bit more space. Highly recommend coming here! But be warned--you will be back! Often! read more

Jesus H Christ and a popsicle stick. If this food truck was a Hanson song it would be MMMBop! I'm probably not the first one to make that reference. All jokes aside this was one hell of a food truck. Even on a rainy day like today I'm glad I made the trip out to Sandy where they posted up. I bought the combo cupbop and some mandoo (potstickers). The only mistake I made was getting a level 3 spiciness (level 1-10). The potstickers I think were steamed because it didn't have the jagged edge texture of being pan-fried. They were rock solid though. But the real taste explosion was the combo portion. SO MUCH FOOD. Spicy pork, beef, noodles, rice, lettuce. All mixed together in one epic mash up of food. Every bite was just as good as the first. Price came out to about $11 for everything. Make sure you add a tip because the guys running the food truck are amazing. Funny, entertaining and make sure you're satisfied with the food that you get. Can't wait to go back. read more

OK, my review isn't fair in one sense because i NEVER got to experience the food. But Yelp is here to help us find and decide whether or not we want to try something. After the reading the reviews of CupBop, my daughter and I wanted very badly to try it. We went to the exact location the map put them. We never saw it. We walked all around the area of 400 south and main. We walked up blocks and down ones and no sign. We asked some local business folks if they had seen it and they were unaware. I tried calling the number listed for Cupbop to ask the source where we could find them. I tried for 20 minutes and either got a recording or the phone just rang with no answer. Rather fruitless if you ask me, having reviews of any business when the readers whom are not familiar with it, are given no ability to find it nor contact them. Just my two cents. OK, I now need to revise my review. Again, I have NOT yet enjoyed the wonders of this place but I sincerely am excited too. I got a call late last night from the owner last night apologizing for the misshap and explaining how he has tried 4 times to get Yelp to change this so people arent mislead. Yelp has not been cooperative thus far. He wanted our experience to be good and sent us a number of coupons for a free bowl to allow us to try it out easily and told us to LIKE them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter to find out where the truck will be located every day. It DOES move around, and that is NOT apparent if you look at the Yelp site. ANyway, as soon as we get to take advantage of his kindness and generosity, I will be sure to report back how killer it is :) The man who runs this sure understands customer service and integrity. I will give them that! read more

so great!!! sooooo yummy!!! great service and perfect portions! would definitely return!!! read more

You know what the best part of eating here? Cougar dental paid for it. So in a way my lack of cavities led to my sadness. well it was either here or pita pit... great options ;) but let me be more clear... they gave you $6 off... which pays for none of their meals. i think the cheapest was 6.15. I got the combo, with beef and pork, and based on reviews I got 9 spicy level because it seems like the main complaint is the weird blend of flavors. WELL GUESS WHAT!?!?! still wasn't spicy. which is okay, I am not going to complain solely based on that. I wanted to think... MAYBE THIS IS JUST LIKE MOVIE HYPE, and i was just dissapointed because it didnt live up to it. Just tasted weird... the noodles are stupid and lack the ability of soaking up flavor. The potstickers on the other hand... pretty good, if they are homemade I am really impressed... but they suspiciously taste like the ones i eat from costco. Perhaps I am missing something... the flavor reminds me of that awkward stage of puberty where you are like... I am not really sure what I am suppose to be. Too much of a good thing can ruin a meal. THE VERDICT: kudos to the owners though, they have been able to take advantage of the citizens of provo who are looking for something novel, new, and different. Perhaps because of so much lack of culture throughout their lives they subconciously long for something to fill the void of mediocrity. Which i think is done well here. But I was not so easily tricked. I will go a second time to verify my review, and i hope my cynicism is destroyed. read more

Cupbop - ... 10.50 (i had 6 off)... my review will be sad - Food Trucks Near Me - Provo, Utah

I had heard about this food truck so when I saw it at the Taylorsville Days festival I gave it a shot. I got spicy pork. My wife got beef. They asked me how hot I wanted it and I said 10, the guy acted like that was insane and that I should tone it down to an 8. From the way he acted I figured a 10 must be laden with a handful of chopped thai chilies or something so I went with it and got it at an 8. Lame! They have a spicy aioli and sriracha. I can drink that stuff when I'm thirsty. What they called an 8 I'd probably call a 4. So I suppose the number scale just determines how much sriracha they add. The food in all our cups was pretty bland. There is a lot of noodles and rice compared to the rest of it and they do not add enough sauce to cover it all. I'd suggest not mixing it together. Take a scoop of meat and get as much noodles and rice as you'd like to go with it and eat it that way until you're down to bare noodles and rice. It won't take long and you'll end up tossing about half the container. read more

Cup Bop was really good a year ago, but this time, the rice dried out, the chicken was chewy and poorly cooked, with extra hard lumps in the crust that had to be spit out, and the cabbage tasted oversweet and...off. And then both my wife and I got nasty, but minor, cases of food poisoning. Maybe it was the location, but no... It has lost what made it special and has become toxic. No thank you. They have lost our business. read more

I stalk this food truck on Instagram and Facebook for a reason. The very first time I had Cupbop, I fell in love. Then the addiction started. I found myself craving it every single week! I always get the Combo since I like a little bit of everything. Rice, some veggies, spicy pork, my favorite Korean noodles, and of course bulgolgi. I have to admit, they win me over on the seasoning of their meat. There is so much flavor in one bite. When I first had it, I started with a level 7 spicy. I LOVE spicy food and I mean extremely spicy, I thought it was pretty spicy the first time. But I noticed as I kept getting a 7, it wasn't hot enough. I now get a level 10 and I think it's perfect. Sometimes depending on the level of spice, they don't add the mayo in (since it calms it down), which is my favorite part. They have no problem adding it in. The workers are extremely friendly and always willing to give extras. I've never ordered Mandoo but I sometimes get lucky and get a couple free ones. read more

Cupbop - Combo - Level 10 w/ Spicy Mayo - Food Trucks Near Me - Provo, Utah

Definitely worthy of 5 stars. This food truck has everything a great truck should.. amazing food, appropriate prices, excelling service, and to top it off, lots of personality and flair. I usually see them on Thursdays at the Gallivan for lunch The food here is great, and hopefully my opinion is credible as I am indeed Korean. The only thing I haven't tried here is the chicken, but everything else (beef/bulgogi, spicy pork, noodles, and mandoo aka dumplings) are all exceptionally authentic and makes me feel right at home. The decently sized cups are filled with rice, salad mix, and your meat of choice, or make it a combo! They also add some sauces on top to add some spice and kick. I always go for extra hot... which hits the spot perfectly. Great flavor and juuuust enough heat to make me sweat, but not crying for my umma (mommy). The cups are around $7.50 or $8.50 for the combo, and mandoo (dumplings) are $1 extra. Not insanely cheap, but definitely a great deal for the amount of Delicious food in that cup! They also started giving out free hot barley tea since the temps have dropped, which is definitely a nice touch for those freezing while waiting in the long line (which is totally worth the wait). Lastly, what I think sets these guys apart is the service and personality of the staff. It's amazing how happy and friendly these guys (and gal) are, considering they are couped up in that truck all day. It's always nice to get great customer service and smile in addition to my awesome food. My last two cents is that it would be nice if they added kimchee to the menu. Maybe as a side, or have a special now and then for kimchee fried rice ;) read more

Cupbop - Combo goodness. Rice, salad, pork, beef, and noodles. Extra spicy :) - Food Trucks Near Me - Provo, Utah

Wow. I've been here a couple more times and thought I'd update my review. I really, really love these guys. If the truck is near me, I'm there. I decided to try the spicy level 10. It was a battle. I love spicy food, and I'm not just saying that like some people do. I actually love spicy food. I make everything spicy. I put hot sauce on everything, I buy a new bottle of Sriacha pretty frequently. When the Gateway Mall's hot sauce store was going out of business I bought up half the store. I love hot sauce and spicy food. The 10 was a beast. It hurt so good. My face was sweating pretty hard by the end of it, but it still tasted so, so, so good. I'm not sure when the next time I slay a 10 will be, but probably not for a while. Make sure you have milk near by when you eat it, as that was the only thing that could temporarily stop the hurt. I wouldn't recommend eating it at work. It's all so good. The entire experience is fantastic. The food is just amazing, you get a good amount of it, and the price is perfect. The guys are fun to talk with and make you feel like a valued customer. I love it so much that I changed my Xbox gamertag to "Cupbop". read more

I love this food. So many yummy sauces/"heat" choices. I like being able to choose between all the meats, sauces and level of heat.

I love Cupbop! Since I hate onion, I only order kko kko bop. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful and extra delicious with the noodles. They are always friendly and funny. When my boyfriend went and grab some food for himself and I, the owner recognized him and told the whole line, "See! Asian boyfriend is always so nice. He knows what his girlfriend wants." Since 3 Mandoos are $2 and a lot of couples ordered 3 Mandoos to share, they would add one more extra so each person will have 2 instead of fighting over last one. I do not have much problem with them but once. They undercooked rice. I think someone forgot to press the rice cooker's Cook button and left it on Warm. read more

Loved my first experience with Cupbop - great service and tasty food makes the line well worth the wait (and it goes quickly.) The energy of the employees was contagious. The combo was a good choice for a first-timer, though the sweet BBQ (pork, I think) was a little too sweet for me. Loved the noodles. The spice was perfect and it satisfied this Korean's taste for authentic food for now. The portions were much bigger than I expected. Can't wait to go again! read more

Finally got to try the infamous Cupbop and now know why people rave about it! I got the combo and the mandoo at a level 8, just a tad too spicy for me so will tone it down to a 7 next time. The meats were flavorful and were a good balance with the crunchy lettuce, rice, and noodles. Service was very friendly and the line moved at a good pace. Knocked off half a star star for the temperature of the food (prefer it hotter rather than lukewarm). read more

Finally found this food truck at the Gallivan center's food truck Thursdays! Have no fear if this is your first time trying Cupbop because the guys working here are super friendly. They will take the time to explain the menu options and recommend a level of spiciness that is just right for your personal taste. I had the combo bowl that includes both beef, pork, rice, and noodles. Sadly, they ran out of the noodles, so they ended up putting extra meat in my order to compensate. The meat was really tasty, but the sauce they put on top is what really makes this little cup shine. You can tell they really try to please their customers because as I was walking away, one of the chefs said, "if you don't like it.. come back and slap me across the face." read more

So I'm very conflicted on where cup bob stands... I feel like as a restaurant or a food truck I would give it 3 stars. (based off food alone) Now at a jazz game or a RSL game I would give it 4 stars. I'm assuming that's why they positioned themselves at those locations. I'll give you my breakdown... Okay rice Okay meat :-/ iceberg lettuce... Yuck Really good sauces. Yum Basically I feel like I'm paying for a sauce... They should switch up the iceberg for fresh cabbage or romain because there is absolutely no nutrition in these cups. But that's probably not what they are going for...duh. Maybe add some cilantro and a small portion of kimchi, cucumber slices? I have wanted to try this place for awhile and I feel meh. read more

Cupbop - Combo - Food Trucks Near Me - Provo, Utah

One of the perks of working downtown is food truck Thursday at the Gallivan Plaza. Today I tried the Combo, noodles (yam), extra veggies and topped with mandoo. This is a level 8 spice, but is really seems like a 3. I waited in line for 30 minutes before they even opened. This place is good, but not worth the hour lines sometimes. Pretty delicious for coming right out of a street truck. read more

*** update. I spoke with the owner and he is a class act. We tried it again and loved it. Changed my 3 star review to 5 stars. Previous: My wife and I went to the food truck roundup really excited to try Cupbop. We had heard so many good things and had quite a few people recommend it. Unfortunately, we walked away a little disappointed. Nothing really bad happened- it just tasted ok. The flavors were ok, but nothing special. read more

Cupbop - Cupbop, Kko Kko chicken and the spicy pork. - Food Trucks Near Me - Provo, Utah

My first time trying this I was lucky enough to attend a yelp elite event and try it for free! Had i just been driving by and seen this truck i do not think i ever would have stopped to try it. I don't know much about Korean food. I am SOOO glad that i attended that event because i absolutely LOVED the food. I got the KKO KKO Bowl which is the chicken bowl. The people working on the bus were so FULL of energy you could feel it. Sometimes they would yell out the bowl names and do a sort of stomp dance. It was pretty entertaining to say the least. Then the truck came to my work and i got to enjoy the delicious KKO KKO bowl again! the last time i had chosen a spicy level of 2 and so this time i dared try a 3. It was perfect and i cannot wait to have another. read more

FINALLY got to try Cupbop and they did not disappoint. After chasing them around in the past, only to be devastated that they were already sold out, we caught up with them at Gallivan. Woot! I got the combo at the recommended 7.5 level spiciness and was transported to Cupbop heaven. The noodles were tasty, the meat was tender, the lettuce crisp, and the whole thing just works. Very saucy, don't forget to wipe your mouth or you'll walk around looking like the joker like me. I almost wish I hadn't ever tasted it, because now I crave it--BAD. read more

I've heard lots of rave reviews of this food truck for quite some time now, and I'm happy to add my own finally. Cupbop provides a unique, tasty product that's presented well. And not only by the look of the actual cup, but through their friendly and funny customer service. Jung and his crew are a hoot, and they seem to really enjoy what they do which sets them apart from a lot of other places that people can be spending their money at. If you are a fan of Korean BBQ like myself, or new to it, Cupbop has something for everyone. If you like it hot or if you're a fan of mild flavors, you can customize your cup to the level of heat you can (or can't) take. With the new additions of the vegetarian cup similar to bibimbap and the galbi short ribs, I know this awesome truck will be around for a while. read more

The portion was a nice, fulfilling, size, had the combo pork and beef, spicy level 2, which was very light on the spice, but so good!! The guy who took our order was a hoot! He was high fiving and hugging customers, great attitude!! Hope to see this go Nationwide!! read more

Finally, a Korean BBQ place in Utah! I'm from Hawaii and I love Korean BBQ. I decided to get the fried chicken after seeing someone else order it because it looked like it had the biggest portion. I love the Korean noodles so I asked them to sub the rice with just all noodles. They do give a side of noodles in the cup. For first timers, they give you a piece of mandoo just to try it. The fried chicken was nice. It felt like a lot of breading, though. Kind of has a crunchy texture. My friend ordered the bulgogi I thought the meat was pretty good. It was tender and full of flavor. Portion size was pretty small for what you pay. If you're looking for Korean BBQ fix, this is a convenient place to come. It hits the spot. But it is pretty pricey for the portion that you get. Also, really good customer service! The cashier was very patient and helpful. read more

I've eaten at the food trucks, so I decided to stop by the store in Orem. The food is delicious as usual, but I was disappointed when my food was served lukewarm. The meat was hot and tender, but the rice and noodles didn't seem fresh. As for the spiciness, I asked for an 8 but it didn't seem very spicy to me -- the food trucks definitely made the 8 much spicier. read more

Cupbop - Super yummy! - Food Trucks Near Me - Provo, Utah

I am in no way an Asian food expert, but I know what I like and like what I know. Cupbop is at the point of cult status here in the Beehive State. They've done an excellent job branding themselves on social media and come off as a young, spunky, very charismatic, entrepreneurial bunch of foodies. The array of spices and flavors are plenty, but I can see why some snicker at the fact there simply isn't enough meat - a core article of Korean cuisine. My bit here is the Cupbop's food is neither bad nor bad. The noodles are always cooked well, the portion, in total, is a lot of food. I would agree with most that if I'm paying $8 for a Beef Bop, I better hear some "moo" as I pull my out my money. Do you feel me? Sweet or spicy, they have options which is another reason I like them. Same with location; now in Utah County you may reel in their permanence. For us in SLC, the fact remains: We will follow. read more

Cupbop - Korean BBQ - Food Trucks Near Me - Provo, Utah

I love Cupbop, have loved it since it was a food truck. Flavors and quality are great and very consistent. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star, is for their online service. I've ordered online the past couple of times and been very disappointed. It's always 15-30 minutes more than they say it will be. Often times I've noticed it quicker to just go in and order than it is to order ahead. I've learned my lesson-I won't be using online ordering anymore. read more

When Food Truck Thursday's at Gallivan Plaza is a weekly ritual of yours and you keep telling yourself you will support a different truck each week, but you find yourself always waiting in Cupbop's line, there's no question where your loyalty is at. My usual is the B Bop (beef). I need to limit my grain intake so I ask for noodles instead of rice (the Korean style glass noodles are made from sweet potato starch), and Cupbop is very accommodating with my request. For ~50 cents extra, you can get the combo which comes with two different kinds of meat, but the beef is my favorite so I stick with the B Bop. The Cupbop experience is the sauce/level of spicy-ness, which ranges from 1 to 10. When you go with a group of people, there's always a big discussion around what level each person is getting, even when it stays constant for each person each week. Nevertheless, it's fun seeing everyone's reaction when the most fearless orders the most spicy level of the group, and the one who cannot handle any level of spice orders a 1 aka "baby" as Cupbop calls it. I'm comfortable with a 7.5 but I ask for an 8 when I want an extra kick. If you can handle mild/moderate spicy-ness, I highly encourage at least a 6.5 to ensure there's adequate sauce:food. Cupbop offers good food for a Korean food truck. The folks in the truck are always friendly, nice, and highly energetic. They are also speedy when they have 3-4 people operating the truck. read more

Loved everything about it. Tried a combo and mando. With the combo you get 2 choices of meat. I had the spicy deep fried chicken and beef. The chicken is only sold at a location not a food truck. After asking the worker (cool guy from New York) what he recommended, he said the spicy deep fried chicken. It was delicious and had a nice crunch to it. The beef was tasty as well. I tried the level 8 spice. It wasn't too spicy but yet didn't leave your mouth on fire. It had enough heat where you could still enjoy the flavors of the meat. The rice was cooked perfectly as well. The mando (like pot stickers) were a really good addition. And seriously 5 stars for service. I wish I got his name but keep the New Yorker around! read more
