Wanna get a good "bang" for your buck?
Get a C-cup. No, really let me explain...
This joint opened at the Veranda in Concord on March, 16, 2019. Whenever we went to the Veranda, it really didn't pique our interest since they have other food options to choose from, and it wasn't on the top of our list.
One day, we decided to give it a try and to our surprise, it wasn't that bad....it was actually pretty good and enjoyable. As the name of the business implies, everything comes in a "cup" or more like a bowl. I guess "Ko Cups" has a nicer ring compared to "Ko Bowls." Well, the "Ko" is shortened from Korean, and they offer Korean-style BBQ served in a cup of bowl.
For a combo meal ($9), you get a couple of proteins on top of rice (white or brown) and noodles. You can get additional toppings of fried egg and kimchi for a dollar each. You want more rice, just pay a dollar fifty more. And if you want more food, they also have dumplings (4) for four bucks. Well, that's a dollar a dumpling if my math is correct.
They have a set menu to choose from and all are under ten bucks. B-cup ($9) is grilled ribeye beef bulgogi, C-cup ($8) is Korean-style chicken BBQ, S-cup ($8) is Korean-style spicy pork, M-cup ($7) is Korean dumplings and a bowl of Bibimbop ($9) gets you a bowl of mixed veggies and eggs. You can add as many extra items as you want for an additional fee.
It comes in a perfect vehicle and you can get it to-go as is. Especially during this pandemic, it's the perfect take-out food as it doesn't create any extra waste. Keep in mind, this is not gourmet food but more like Korean comfort/fast food. For the price you're paying, it will fill you up nicely and satisfy one's craving.
A solid 3 1/2 for me.
