“Margo, and Jayden is super awesome for they're amazing customer service and friendly atmosphere“

“my family and I really enjoy Mr. Shabu. We have mainly been for the sushi, and have really liked it. The Playboy Roll, which is sort of my go to roll, I'm torn if they are number 1 or 2 when it comes to the place I like it the most. but we have enjoyed many other rolls their. but we also appreciate their wall of ramen which is great for my daughter who is trying to like more sushi, but isn't all the way there yet. it make it easy for her to still get a full dinner, but also try some sushi as well. Any ways, if your looking for some good sushi, give Mr. Shabu a try.“

“SOOO GOOD! Definitely a five star experience.“

“HongKong Banjum is my absolute favorite restaurant in Utah! I always get the 짬뽕 (jjamppong) and it is always perfect. If you don’t like spicy, then the 짜장면 (jajangmyeon) is also amazing. I also highly recommend getting the 탕수육 (tangsuyuk).

Great service!“

“delicious foods friendly atmosphere“

“The food and service were great! My husband got the bento box with 2 meat options, the shaved beef and pork belly, it was phenomenal! So flavorful. Really well balanced. I had the ramen, which was also sooo good. Really hit the spot. Would definitely recommend!“

“Almost every single time I’ve gone to this shopping plaza I make a stop at K-Recipe. It’s become a comfort treat lol

My wife and I usually get a gimbap and some of the sides— the cucumbers or kimchi, they always hit! It just feels and tastes so fresh and delicious 😋
Prices are very reasonable and there’s so many options to get, not just gimbap, if you like to try something different every time. 🙂“

“My first visit! I got the basic vegetable kimbap to go, and as a Korean, I was so happy with how authentic and delicious it tasted. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming—when they found out it was my first time, they even gave me a free yogurt drink! It was such a heartwarming moment that really reminded me of Korean hospitality. I can’t wait to come back soon!“

“We ordered 4 Korean corn dogs. One potatoe...and the other half cheese half sausage/hotdogs and they were so tiny. The meat sausage part they cut to add with the cheese was smaller than my pinky. It was mostly breading....and the oil used to fry it all tastes like it needed a changing. We also weren't a fan of putting the corn dog in ketchup to make the cheetoh powder stick. It wasnt good tasting.“

“Really nice people, food was AMAZING, I got the kko kko bop one of aka 6. And it was good, I also did a 3 on SPICY with btw!!!
You get to choose your own spicy level!!!!!
so good!!
I also tried the level 1 and it was good too
( I found a bone in my chicken but that's how you know it's fresh so AWESOME)
IT ALSO HAS CABBAGE AND RICE AT THE BOTTOM AND IT'S JUST AMAZING!!!
I'd definitely recommend coming here!!!

Vegetarian options: I think you can minus meat + other things you don't want from what I can see

Parking: Tons of spots, really close too!!!

Kid-friendliness: It's kid friendly and kids will absolutely LOVE the food

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy get in and get out, tons of space and it's flat floor so it's easy“

“My husband likes boneless wings so we tried the secret sauce , the honey garlic, and the galbi. I had a high expectation of the place based on the pictures I'd seen and oh boy did they deliver. Each flavor was better than the other, and it was perfectly cooked, juicy and crispy; every second of waiting bc it's made to order is worth it. All the servers were extremely kind and the restaurant was clean. The portions are generous, so if you are not a big eater you may share an 8 wings or half chicken and then take the opportunity to try some of their other dishes. I definitely want to go back to try more flavors and their fried rice. Top of the list for places to have fried chicken.“

“Sushi chefs and Korean food is what makes this location stand out over all the others.

I’ve been a customer of Itto for years now and have tried all their locations, this one without a doubt stands out the most.
The sushi here always feels a notch above the rest. You can tell the chefs actually care about presentation and have some real skills. I usually go for nigiri and sashimi, and it’s always fresh and beautifully made.

The restaurant itself is cozy and welcoming, spacious and clean. All the staff is kind and seem to be having a good time.

Also worth mentioning they’re the only location that also offers Korean food and a really good one at that, love their galbi and bibimbap.“

“Not a lot is space in there, but I keep coming back for the Rose Tteokbokki because it’s AMAZING. It’s served so hot and fresh in a metal skillet and it’s the perfect mixture of spice, sweet, and warmth. Tteokbokki is soft and chewy, and the sausage, carrots, and onion that come with it in the sauce are fabulous. It’s also a huge portion, my husband and I typically just split one order“

“The fried tofu at 7.5 spice is very mild. Good flavor, but if you're looking for more heat I'd say 9 is a better option. It's closer to Sriracha, but not too spicy yet. The apple and strawberry flavored milkies are also pretty good and not odd tasting. The Korean corn dogs are best served with corn flakes, and the all cheese weighs a decent amount. Overall, good value and the taste is worth the price.“

“This place is my favorite now. Made sure we were taken care of. Even when i said i didn’t need anything the waiter saw that i liked the kimchi so he asked if i wanted more. I did, I was just shy (Ｔ＿Ｔ）but awesome place“

“I had the jjangmyeon and regular tangsuyuk for myself. Overall, the hospitality was great, and one unique aspect of this restaurant is that they provide many side dishes with free refills. However, the price was quite high — I paid around $40 plus tip. For that cost, the jjangmyeon and tangsuyuk barely met my expectations. The jjangmyeon portion felt small despite the large bowl, though the tangsuyuk portion was generous. The food was okay, but it could definitely taste better. I also noticed that many of the staff, including the chef, are Spanish. Considering the price, I probably won’t be returning.“

“the food is incredible. I had the chicken, rice and salad combo. the chicken batter was crispy, without making the inside dry! PERFECT COOK! I even loved the rice! I’ve been to Korea, and this is even better than chicken in Korea 🙂. Will definitely come back again! Mahalo 🤙🏼“

“Staff are very attentive and the service was quick. . Food was flavorful as it was in South Korea ( been there for 3-4 weeks). I traveled solo and tried to take pics of the food, the staff saw it and offered to take the photo for me. Definitely recommended! Will come back when i revisit Utah next time!“

“Very enjoyable! if you're looking for a quiet lunch or dinner spot, this is very pleasant. Good food! I enjoy having both Korean and Japanese options!“

“I love coming to Cupbop in Bountiful. Today Greg took my very high-maintenance order and was incredibly kind and competent. The staff here always goes above and beyond to make it a good experience for a mom with kids. Love the positive, customer -friendly vibe whenever we visit.“

“All the food is always fresh and good.“

“We ate here before a movie. Food is good. but I think I would prefer less rice and more noodles. Also the portion size was HUGE! For me, this wasn't an advantage this time (since we were going to a movie) and I'd like to suggest smaller portion size options in the future.“

“This is the spot for Korean BBQ. Since my go-to KBBQ place on 90th and State closed down, I’m really glad we found this one.

There’s plenty of parking, and it's easy to find—right next to Chinatown. When you walk in, there’s a flight of stairs to go up, but they also have an elevator for anyone who needs it. The decor is a bit off—it looks like the place was converted from a nautical or sailor-themed restaurant, which doesn’t quite match the Korean BBQ vibe. But hey, we weren’t there for the ambiance—we came to eat.

We were greeted right away and seated quickly. They offer three different all-you-can-eat menus: Korean BBQ, sushi, and hotpot. You can choose one for $29.99, or any two for $35.

The first time we visited, we went with the sushi and Korean BBQ combo. Honestly, the sushi wasn’t worth it—but the Korean BBQ was spot on. The short ribs and bulgogi beef were well-marinated, flavorful, and served in generous portions. They even offer Angus steak. There’s also a bar with all the sauces and sides you’ll need for both BBQ and hotpot.

The drink selection is small—just Pepsi and Coke products, one boba tea option, and some sweet tea.

Service was great. The staff checked on us frequently and changed out the grill often so smoke didn’t build up. One unique thing we noticed: while we were at the bar grabbing lettuce and sauces, they actually started grilling our meat for us. We've only seen that level of service in Korea—not at any other spot in Utah.

All in all, I’d definitely recommend this place for their Korean BBQ. Great food, solid service, and a good experience overall.“

“Everything is just perfect. the environment, food, staff, the alcohol.. amazing!“

“Good prices and good food. My favorite is the piggy bop, and my husband LOVES the pot stickers. I'm not kidding, one time my husband had a bad day and I told him I got pot stickers from Cup Bop, and immediately he was looking forward to getting home to have some. :) I tried the yogurt drinks and those are pretty good, too, especially the peach one. So if you want some yummy Korean food, or if you want to cheer up your pot-sticker-loving husband, give this place a try. (Just don't get lost in the level-4 sauce!)“
