The story behind Kobop

The story behind Kobop

Kobop started in 2023 as a tiny taco cart on a VCU campus — just three tacos, one mission: make Korean BBQ flavors familiar, affordable, and accessible. With 3 items on the menu — Bulgogi Beef, Gochujang Pork, and Gochujang Tofu tacos — word spread fast and the hype grew fast. After a year grinding it out on the streets, we’ve finally found a home inside Väsen Brewing in Forest Hill. This is just the beginning. Follow along and come be part of the Kobop story.
