Cupbop, the popular Korean BBQ fast-casual chain, is expanding its footprint in the Houston area with a new location in Cy-Fair. Set to open in mid-December 2025, the restaurant will be located at 12620 FM 1960 W, Ste. C-4, Houston, TX.
A Taste of Korean Culture in a Cup
Founded in 2013 by Junghun Song as a mobile food truck in Salt Lake County, Utah, Cupbop has grown into a beloved brand known for its unique offering of Korean BBQ served in a convenient cup. The menu features a base of rice, vegetables, and a choice of protein such as beef, chicken, or tofu, topped with signature sauces ranging from sweet to spicy.
The Cy-Fair location is part of Cupbop’s broader expansion strategy, aiming to bring Korean cuisine to a wider audience across the United States. With the Houston area’s diverse food scene, this new outlet is expected to attract both newcomers eager to try Korean BBQ and loyal fans of the brand.
Community and Cultural Impact
Karim Haji, CEO/COO of Grafton Way Restaurant Group, which operates Cupbop’s Houston locations, expressed excitement about the new opening:
“Houston is one of the fastest-growing and most diverse food cities in the U.S., and we’re excited to bring a fresh take on Korean BBQ to the community,” said Haji.
The Cy-Fair location aims to offer more than just a meal; it seeks to provide an experience that introduces customers to Korean culture through food. The vibrant atmosphere and flavorful dishes are designed to create a welcoming environment for all guests.
