Went here Saturday for lunch.. place wasn't busy at all and food came out pretty quick. Server was nice.. but the guy behind the... bar was on the phone the whole time .. not being attentive and had that look of why am I here.. we asked for water refill and hejust looked at us as if we asked for a free meal or something.. there was only us at that time. Chicken wing looked good butovercooked. They were hard and dry. Lack of seasoning.. bibimbap was quite decent. Salmon bowl was ok. Salmon salad was OK,ramen was OK. This place deserves a 3 star... Worth a try, but won't be going back ... Read more
Terrific Asian fusion place that instantly fulfills my craving for Korean-style chicken wings. Believe the hype and all the... accolades! Now we just have to convince the chef/owner to put his famous beef noodle soup on the menu! Read more
It?s very rare that I got to a restaurant and literally cannot eat the food. This is one of those places. The pot stickers are... hard fried shells with a tiny bit of filling left that did. It combust in the deep fryer, the loaded fries with beef are a plateof crinkle cut fries, with a tiny bit of minced beef on and covered in that fake (not actually cheese) cheese sauce from asquirty can. I tried the crispy chicken as it seemed to be a specialty. I bit into one of the chicken legs only to have thecrispy (crumbly coating) fall apart and onto the plate to reveal the most dry chicken I have ever had. Left all of the chicken,most of the fries, ate the ones without the fake cheese sauce on. The only thing they made and cooked in house, rather thanopened from a Supermarket bag and deep fried was the garlic noodles and these were very good! A lesson to be learned freshcooked food great, food from a frozen bag and deep fried for far too long (most of the food) not good. Never eaten in Irvinebefore so maybe this is classed as good food here, but as said I have never been anywhere where I simply could not eat the food. Read more
Krave has a very chill atmosphere. The staff is really nice and helpful. There were a lot of different food options, for picky... eaters and not. Read more
Their bibimbap and katsu Korean style chicken is the best combo! Great quality and personal!
The reviews for this place are pretty divisive and polarizing, people either give it 5 stars and call it a miraculous... experience, or they give it two stars and complain that it has garbage takeout. Despite these mixed signals, I plunged into thedepths of this place with 7 more homies, and let me tell you, it's a mind-bending experience. I'm usually wary of places thattry to do many things at once, since they usually end up being mediocre at several things instead of being proficient at a fewthings. This place is not like that though. Starting with the Loaded Kogi Fries and the Korean Fried chicken (we tried a 30 pcsone with both garlic pepper for half of them and mango habanero for the other half). My friends and I had a chance to try abunch of different items, such as the Bibimbap (solid choice but nothing life-changing), Taiwanese Garlic Noodles, OG Burgersand Main Street Burger (both great choices), and even the Shoyu Ramen. The great thing about this place is that they get manythings right in their menu, and the menu is pretty varied, so no matter who you come with or HOW you come here, you will alwaysfind something to satisfy your.... KRAVEs. Read more
I did not dine in, I only did pick up! It is tucked away in the corner. Parking is super limited in front of the place, I had to... park by the hotel nearby and walk over. I placed my order online and it was ready when I got there. Ordered Korean Fried Chickensmall order (10pcs) of the Soy Garlic. There were fantastic and the KFC fried to perfection (crispy vs moist ratio). I also gotthe Kogi Quesadilla, these angus beef babies were so so good. Man, I wished I was staying longer in Cali to try this place fordine in. Next time, Krave. Read more
