    The reviews brought me here. I wasn't disappointed! Food was great! Super hot and fresh, packed with flavor. I got the spicy pork and the kimchi. Was great, highly recommended.

    Amazing wings and fast service! Great heat and flavor! I had level 2 out of 5 heat, but that was enough! Jumbo wings, crunchy and tender. Definitely will be back sooner instead of later!

    It may look like a dive, but the food is incredibly delicious! The bulgogi was so tasty and the sides as well. It was very clean, just not a spot to take a date. Yummy!

    Hole in the wall place run by very nice Korean ladies who are absolutely cordial. Everything is delicious so don't be afraid to try something new. Small menu but big flavors. I personally love their wings, and I know what you're thinking, Korean wings? But here me out, they are so crispy, so juicy, the sauce is so impossibly good and sweet, good at a one for that little bit of heat but you can always ask for more spice. Absolutely wonderful. It's over by the college so if you blink you'll miss it.

    They have just a bar better than good. They use a small container that lets them make it look your getting allot of food. Usually Korean food they pile on everything including free Kimchee. This was my second attempt to post this review. Somehow the review gets removed. I DID NOT REMOVE EVERYONE SHOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SMALL AMOUNT OF FOOD GIVEN.

    During college in Murfreesboro I started going to Cup Pop. I never say this about restaurants, but this restaurant is a treasured gem to me. I absolutely fell in love with the delicious Korean BBQ bowls, especially the combo bowl. Before Cup Pop I have never eaten Korean food of any kind, and now I am so obsessed I have to visit Cup Pop every time I come back to Murfreesboro! These bowls are so incredibly delicious they are truly addictive. This woman works so hard, and I hope I can continue to enjoy eating here for years to come!

    So happy we found this place. The food is always fresh and delicious, the staff is so friendly, and the vibe is great. I live almost an hour from here but Id gladly make the trip any day of the week.

    I always get my food to go, but I believe this is a small family run business but the wings are delicious and I always return for more, it gets pretty busy at times so I always call in advance to get my order started

    Every experience I've ever had here is great. For the price, the food is fantastic. It's not the best, but it's still really good. 👍 Service is unbeatable. Always kind, friendly, smiling, eager to help. That means a lot from a business, especially consistently. If I call an order in, it's ready in ten minutes. This place is a gem.

    The lady was so friendly and personally showed us how to eat our dishes. The food was incredible. Perfect amount of spice. Prices were great for the area. So good I'm already planning the next time we'll be making a trip to Murfreesboro. Highly recommend! 😊

    I rarely give 5 stars but when I do, it's well deserved. Their food is always cooked fresh and quickly but even if there was a wait, it would be worth it. Large portions for really great prices and friendly service. I wanted to come here several times before writing a review because too often, I'll give a positive review, just to come back and not have the same experience. For well over 2 months, each time has been exceptional and this has become my new favorite spot

    Food is so delicious and the presentation is absolutely wild for a hole-in-the-wall, local owned and run place! Limited menu as posted on the wall and you choose your spice level. The kimchi is 💯

    Love always wanted to try this place. Finally have since relocating to Tennessee. It's so good. The food is fresh and hot. The flavor is lovely. The spices, textures and look of the food was awesome. The gentleman that helped me order was kind and helped me out a lot. The place is super clean inside and out. The place is right behind the gas station and behind the market.

    Perfection! Delicious proteins, balanced flavors, nice portions, good price! I loved the Spicy Pork, and the fried Chicken was some of the best I've had. Quaint little local place that felt genuine! Will be coming back!

    Delicious. I loved the food here, I tried the spicy pork bowl and it was delicious. It came with noodles and rice and little dumplings! The goyza was amazing. There was a fun selection of drinks you can't find at other restaurants. I tried the strawberry milkis and it was delicious!

    Wings! I was already a fan of Cup Pop for their spicy bulgogi but their wings are over the top. If you like BWW mango habanero wings but wish they were more crispy, more complex in flavor, and more spicy; Cup Pop has you covered. I love Nashville hot chicken and other spicy foods, Cup Pop takes the spice game and adds sticky sweetness to make very addictive wings. Level 2 is hot, level 3 is on par with OG Bolton's medium. I'm kind of afraid of levels 4 and 5 but know I will have to go there some day.

    It's a little hard to find, past MTSU, passed Murphy Centre but before the gas station.

  • 5/5 cody s. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife is Korean so I'm used to Korean food that is authentic, and man, this place hit it right on the dot. The portions were wonderful and prices were super affordable! We have made this a place to frequently visit

  • 5/5 Kids K. 1 year ago on Google
    The Owner was really nice and kind and the food was really good and big portions and i would definitely go here again♥︎.

  • 5/5 Melody 2 years ago on Google
    A gem right next to MTSU campus. Everytime I order from here the food is always good and they use sustainable packaging. Friendly service each time, as well. 10/10 spot

  • 4/5 Dailoc N. 1 year ago on Google
    Short precise menu. Food was fresh and so very delicious. The portion size may not seem like much but you will definitely be full afterwards. There are some Korean drinks in the fridge as well as a few ice creams to choose from. The location is out of my way but will totally be coming by again.

  • 5/5 Brian Z. 1 year ago on Google
    No frills. 8 menu selections. Delicious meals. Get in, pay, wait 5 minutes, get out (or eat at one of 5 tables), enjoy!

    Visiting home for the holiday season, I was looking forward to stopping by here, as the reviews certainly create a hype. However, perhaps Cup Pop is overhyped? With limited menu options and variety, there isn't much to comment on except that you order wanting more to choose from. And don't get me wrong--small menus can work wonderfully, but there needs to be enough variety. Many options here are only differentiated by choice of meat. At the same time, I was disappointed that the aspect of the food served in cups was discontinued some time ago. As a small establishment and definitely a hole-in-the-wall, the atmosphere was cozy: some Korean decor, stock in corners, some small TVs playing Korean channels. A respectable environment, but one that typically only pairs well with good food. As a vegetarian, I know Korean cuisine is highlighted by meat. Still, the vegetarian offerings tasted oversaturated with sauce and certainly did not exemplify much of the foods' flavors. I've read some previous reviews that excuse Cup Pop's shortcomings by saying how it is an outlier in offering Korean cuisine outside of Nashville. However, this uniqueness in status shouldn't excuse an average exerience.

    I would love to offer 5 stars. I went in and was told it was there break time. It was 4:15 and they would be glad to help me at 4:30. I did not have time to wait. Business is business , if you want my money then serve me. I gave them a second chance and the food and service were commendable.

  • 5/5 Gennie B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here a while back with my family— the atmosphere was really relaxing and the lady working up front who took our order was so sweet. It was extremely easy to order and didn’t take long to get our food too. The portions were nice and I was able to share two dishes between two other people! And we had leftovers too! I highly recommend this place and if you like K-pop, you’ll definitely hear some songs in the background too!

  • 3/5 Robert 10 months ago on Google
    Reviews brought me here. Food was good, just wish the dude at the counter was offering help on what the options are. Had no clue what to order! Cup Pop!? Saw Ramen bowls on a shelf but they are not on the menu? Both our items from the menu on the wall were served on rice?

  • 5/5 matthew v. 2 years ago on Google
