Cupbop is coming to Tyler, Texas, with a new fast-casual Korean BBQ restaurant planned for The Village at Cumberland Park on South Broadway. After speaking with the owners, the tentative opening date is November 6, 2026, pending required permits and other preparations. The restaurant lets customers customize bowls with proteins, noodles, vegetables and sauces.

All of the new businesses and restaurants popping up around East Texas right now is pretty exciting. And there is a new one that already has a sign up on South Broadway in Tyler that is capturing attention, but people are curious to know more about it.
