Chicken nice and crispy – I’ve eaten here a good number of times. Only gotten sick once but that don’t stop me from coming back. I came closer to closing and they didn’t kick me out so that’s great customer service! Kudos for cooking me a fresh cup of hot water when they don’t serve if. Ambiance is a bar style. Waiters and waitress chat to keep you company. Way to go!

I visited this place for Saturday lunch. It was quite empty, I think it is busy during weekdays. I tried the chicken Thai curry which came with rice. It was tasty, nice and creamy.

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 the depths of this place with 7 more homies, and let me tell you, it’s a mind-bending experience. I’m usually wary of places that try to do many things at once, since they usually end up being mediocre at several things instead of being proficient at a few things. This place is not like that though. Starting with the Loaded Kogi Fries and the Korean Fried chicken (we tried a 30 pcs one with both garlic pepper for half of them and mango habanero for the other half). My friends and I had a chance to try a bunch of different items, such as the Bibimbap (solid choice but nothing life-changing), Taiwanese Garlic Noodles, OG Burgers and Main Street Burger (both great choices), and even the Shoyu Ramen. The great thing about this place is that they get many things right in their menu, and the menu is pretty varied, so no matter who you come with or HOW you come here, you will always find something to satisfy your…. KRAVEs.

We came on a Saturday evening. There were only 2 other groups dining in and a few pick ups while we were there. The bipimbap was good. I have nothing to compare it to, but I enjoyed it. There were lots of veggies and the sauce on the side had a good flavor and was a little spicy.

Absolutely amazing! Had two flavors of friend chicken (spicy flavor isn’t that spicy), the Thai curry which was unreal, and the pancake appetizer which was pretty big! I will definitely be back, in fact I think I’m going to head over right now.

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.

Overall, I do not think the food was really worth the price. The chicken wings were good, but the bibimbap and garlic noodles (supposed to be some of the top dishes) were bland. Might have came here on an off day, but I would go somewhere cheaper for food. The happy hour drink prices were good though.

This place has good food but it’s pretty quiet location and feels lonely when you eat here. I’ve been here twice and there is only ever one other group aside from my group dining in. Feels like more people get food to go

Food was amazing. Never had Korean wings, they were extra crunchy but surprisingly not super breaded as I would have though. Great flavor.

Love love love this place. The fried chicken is incredible. I haven’t had chicken so flavorful and juicy in a good while. I ordered a small plates of wings/drumsticks and alone i was full, i could imagine splitting this and an appetizer with another person and being set. The staff was great even though it was a slow Sunday when i came in i didn’t feel rushed or unattended, a wonderful way to have a meal. I tries the pepper and the garlic options, both amazing.
