Frequently criticized
- chickenMy experience at this restaurant was deplorable. I ordered Rockbop and, despite having visited this location multiple times, I had to wait longer because the chicken was not cooked. To make matters worse, I paid extra for additional chicken but did not receive it, leaving me upset and hungry.
- food qualityThe food quality is so inconsistent.
- noodlesOur family of five had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. Although they ran out of noodles, which was a bummer, the General Manager, Chelsea, took great care of us without hesitation. The food was great, and the service made the drive from Southwest totally worth it.
- 1/2 bowl1/2 bowl only
- Korean foodFirst off, I love Korean food and my wife is Korean. This is by no means an example of Korean food. It was terrible buffet style nastiness.
- alternate sauceI asked if they were out of the regular sauce, and they said they were out. I get home and try this different sauce and it was WAY too spicy, plus, it wasn’t what I ordered. They offered me a free bowl, but I don’t want one with this too-spicy-sauce.
- bowlsThe lady was super nice at first, but we were overcharged. We spent $76 for just 3 bowls! When we tried to get our money back, they said we were incorrect and acted rude after.
- buffet style nastinessThis is terrible buffet style nastiness.
- dinnerMy dinner and experience with them overall was deplorable
- extra chickenPaid extra for extra chicken. I didn’t not receive what I asked for, no extra chicken
If you're craving flavorful, fresh Korean-style fast food with a variety of sauces, this place is generally a solid choice. Just be mindful that some visitors have noted inconsistent food quality and occasional issues with freshness, so it might be a hit or miss depending on your visit.

How are the prices at Cupbop?
You’re looking at roughly 17 per person – reported by 108 diners. That puts it in the $11–$20 category. For a Korean Restaurant, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
Looking at what people actually spend, most diners keep it in the $11–$20 sweet spot, right around that average. A few go for a lighter bite, and some splurge a bit more, but the bulk of the action is right in the middle.
Here’s a quick look at what guests spend per person, based on the latest 108 reviews.
A look at how this restaurant’s value compares to similar spots in Las Vegas.
Overall, we think the pricing here is quite fair for a Korean restaurant, especially considering the Las Vegas scene. It offers good value without breaking the bank.

Great Gluten-Free Options and Excellent Food
As a gluten-free diner, I was pleased to find that this restaurant offered a good selection of options for us. We decided to try it after seeing them on Shark Tank. The food was excellent.
We enjoyed our meal so much that we ate there and also got some to go, ensuring we could savor it again the next day.

Excellent Service and Delicious Food!
As a satisfied first-time customer, I want to express my gratitude to Niyea and the excellent cook on Thursday night. I came with a friend and initially didn't plan to eat, but Niyea's kindness led to a wonderful experience. We discussed Cupbop's many bowl options, and she made a great suggestion.
She prepared me a beef noodle and rice bowl that was so good and prepared perfectly! Niyea also provided a loyalty card offering a free bowl after 9 punches. I'm already on my way for my second punch today, eager to try Niyea's second suggestion: Tangy beef and mandoos.
Thanks, Cupbop, I'm on my way! 🤗

Awkward Service, Okay Food
My second and last experience at this restaurant, which was around 2-3 years ago, left much to be desired. I hope they've improved their staff training and hiring since then. During lunch, the staff seemed young and new.
A young Hispanic girl with dark black hair and glasses was assembling our bowls. She was very quiet, shy, and socially awkward. When I informed her that I didn't want noodles in my bowl, which she had already added along with rice, she visibly became upset, even with her mask on.
My husband and I had forgotten to specify no noodles for the second bowl. She threw away the bowl and grabbed a new one, but her body language and eyes conveyed instant annoyance and anger. She didn't say anything to me and passed our bowls to the next worker, making the entire interaction tense and awkward.
The food itself was just okay, and in my opinion, overpriced.

Great B Bop Bowl, Missed Ice Cream Bar
I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant, especially the B Bop bowl. The sauce drizzled on the food was particularly delicious. My only wish is that they had the ice-cream bar at this location; perhaps next time.
The prices were reasonable for what I ordered, which included two bowls, chips, and a large drink. Overall, I give it a 4. 8 rating.
