Cupbop - Korean BBQ

UPDATE-
This place is not safe if you have celiac disease, it would be fine if you’re just Gluten Intolerant.
We tried this place two more times after our first visit and got very sick.

*******************

This is our first time trying Korean BBQ and I’m definitely hooked!
The food is great, they have different levels of spice for the sauces.
I was so so so excited to try this place because they offer Gluten Free options finding Gluten free Asian food is next to impossible and it’s my all time favorite!
The service was very good they answered all our questions and explained how to order.
My husband ordered the Rock Bop bowl with medium level sauce, I ordered the Gluten free Ugly Bop Bowl with sweet sauce, we both ordered ours extra saucy!
We got our order to go but the inside was clean and had seating!
I can definitely see us becoming regulars here 😁

First time eating at this place and honestly I did not know what to expect. I was greeted kindly, the staff was friendly and helped me with my order as I did not know where to start. Once the process was explained to me it was easy. The food was great, I got the combo bowl with the meal and it was very filling and tasty. I liked the different spicy sauces available to choose from. I will return again to try a different combination next time.

This has become my wife and my favorite place. The food is flavorful with great options. The service is always on point. We refer all our friends here. We are so glad cupbop is just down the road from us.

I'll love to share the pros first then the cons after as there are many cons after all.
My husband and I tried the restaurant and then went back again that's a plus in my book. (I'll actually include photos of both visits.) My husband really loved it here and that matters the most to me. I know he isn't picky and this place is great for that. Though I do enjoy that you can sort of choose/build what you want too so you can make it unique and to your liking.
The food is 5 starts no doubt, flavor, temperature.
Price is maybe 3-4 stars as it can be a tad pricey but if it is once and a while type of deal no harm.
It was delicious and filling.
They also have snacks there like turtle chips or in case you just want their yummy mandoo because believe me that is super good and my husband and I bought extra the second time to share.
My first time trying it I wasn't the biggest of fan but I learned.
I did not ask if I could taste anything first but if you want to try asking I totally would at least like the noddle's or sauces. I am not the biggest fan of the noddle's myself but the following time I went I changed it to just rice, cabbage, veggies and the yummy chicken. So you learn and make change is what I say.
So that's enough of the good I am gonna share some of the bad now and maybe it is not something that will really bother you but I felt super bad myself.
If you follow my reviews you know I am a plump/heavy gal and I do enjoy eating at the restaurants but this is just not one I could enjoy. I do not like sitting at high tops at all. It's just super uncomfortable. I thought luckily they have the smaller chairs in the middle but nope. NOPE. NO. I couldn't stand the chairs maybe they are durable but the feeling of them sliding down is a no, no for me. It scared me and I started to tear up a bit. My husband was like let's go its fine but I wanted him to enjoy his food in the restaurant. None the less we did not stay inside. We had to eat in our car. There is a bench outside but it was super cold that evening.
That's really my only negative is the seating is not comfy to me, and maybe the price is a little much but I can look past the second.

Although I was excited to try this place after seeing all the great reviews, I found myself a bit underwhelmed by the food. We ordered 2 different bowls, the Krunch Bop and the Rock Bop. Each bowl comes with rice, cabbage, and noodles, the balance between them and the protein seemed uneven and I sadly wasn’t a fan of the noodles. While the protein had good flavor, the overall dish doesn’t do authentic Korean food justice and the prices seemed rather high for the quality offered. Nevertheless, the staff was fantastic, and the atmosphere had a cool vibe!
