Bq Cupbop Korean Deli - Newark

We came on a Monday evening which is a slow night in general so the restaurant was very empty. We ordered the Bulgogi bowl, spicy pork bowl and cheese Bulgogi fries. It was a great value meal because of the amount of food there was in each bowl. The food tasted good but since it was a slow evening for them, I think a lot of their food is made in advance. Elements like the meat and the egg don't come out super hot and fresh tasting. Maybe it would be different if it was a busier night and they were making items to order. The Bulgogi cheese fries were decent but the areas with the cheese got soggy really quickly. Probably wouldn't order that again. I would recommend this place for the great value and comforting food. I just wish some of the key components of the bowls were made to order so it's hot and fresh tasting.

Cute deli experience with good food and drinks. Reasonably priced will definitely be back

Rice bowls cups are not bad and very affordable, and good portion for one person. I 'll be back for more. Kimbaps- not sold anymore, according to the lady who answered the phone today. Too bad. Love that they have some banchan/kimchis in the fridge for purchase.

9/8/22 Dinner BQ Cup Bop in Newark is nothing like the Cup Bop in Las Vegas near UNLV. We walk in about 6 pm on a Friday night, and the place was empty. We ordered a spicy pork bowl and a chicken curry bowl. I asked the cashier if the chicken curry bowl was spicy and she lied to me. It was super spicy! I think I ate more rice than curry. It also had way more bamboo spouts then chicken. I hate bamboo shoots, so it was hard to eat. My husband 's spicy pork bowl was sweet instead of spicy. He said it was Just okay and the bottle of soju helped. They have a large selection of drinks and pre made banchans. They also have happy hour BOGO 50% off from 5 9 daily. I was disappointed that it wasn 't like the Cup Bop in Vegas which is like a Korean Chipotle. I think that model would be more successful here.

Very good food. Warm and very friendly staff. I will come back to this restaurant anytime.
