About the upcoming restaurant
According to reports, a new restaurant featured on Shark Tank is coming to Auburn soon. While no opening date has been given yet, we do know construction is underway at a space off Opelika Road, next to Well Red.
The future restaurant, Cupbop, was featured on Shark Tank in season 13 in 2022. Founders Jung Song and Dok Kwon received backing from one of the investors after sharing more about their one-of-a-kind Korean-style dishes served in a cup with a side of fun.
More specifically, the restaurant serves bowls of Korean cuisine, featuring meats, rice, noodles, vegetables and sauces. Guests pick a protein and spicy level. Then they can mix it all together and experience an explosion of flavor like never before.
The menu
We may not know if the menu in Auburn will be exactly like the online menu, but a foodie can dream. There are choices such as “Rock Bop,” described as “Korean-style tangy fried chicken,” and “B Bop,” which is Korean-style beef barbecue, for example.
But what takes these dishes to “a steaming cup of wow” are the sauces that are numbered from 1, for sweet, to 10, for heat. According to the website, the most popular level of sweet heat is actually 7.5.
