Krave Asian Fusion Restaurant

Excellent food and convo with locals. The garlic noodle is amazing. Plenty of excellent options to come back again

A totally sad and frankly silly little establishment.

I called 30 minutes before closing to try and order food from this restaurant. The phone rang literally 20 times and then just hung up. I called again shortly after and at least this time, someone was "considerate" enough to grab the phone after 8 rings and promptly hang up so as to not be disturbed by the ringing of the phone.

I get it. It also annoys me when customers call my store where I work shortly before closing. But I at least answer.

If I missed the last call to order, what's so hard about answering the phone and telling me that?

1. Wings and Thai curry ok
2. Chicken teriyaki was meh
3. Kogi loaded fries amazing
4. BATHROOMS DISGUSTING ...

One the sink was clogged and someone's hack was floating in it. So gross.

The second bathroom had caked up urine on the toilet and the entire bathroom smelled like VOMIT.

If we had gone in the bathrooms first, we would never had ordered food from here based on the state of what they consider clean.

It was 6pm on Thursday and we were one of two tables there eating.

Inexcusable to be this DIRTY.

Especially when you're paying $100+ to eat there.

GROSS.

Bland. Korean Panda Express. Way, way too much sugar, odd mild chilis and salt. Gochujang with the Bibimbap seemed like ketchup and little else. The Bibimbap itself was served in a stone bowl too cool to crisp the rice, and the beef bulgogi seemed like steak-umm in soy/brown gravy.

The restaurant itself was clean, a model motel restaurant location.

The Saporo beer was as expected. And the staff was friendly, and quick.

I don't get the 5 stars from some of my Yelp friends. The place is average, chicken wings are OK. The "most liked in OC" garlic noodles are just noodles with a lot of garlic. Service was nice food OK.

Pulling up to this place, I thought it was closed because of how empty it was. Inside, the floors were sticky, the seats had crumbs on them, and the dining room was warm and stuffy. The bathrooms were out of paper, piles of paper littered the corner, and a huge puddle of soap on the floor almost made me fall.

But enough of all the bad things about this place, let's talk about the good things. The server was nice enough and gave us some helpful recommendations. Food came out at a reasonable pace and the chicken was very crispy. As for the flavor, the habanero had a minuscule kick and sweetness, and the soy garlic was decently umami. The chicken meat itself was tender but super bland.

Decent chicken for a decent price. Their menu also had some other interesting things on it, but I wonder if I'll ever be back to this location. Hopefully their other locations are more sanitary.

Come here for the award winning Korean fried chicken. I got the soy garlic and lemon pepper wings. I don't know how they fry the chicken but it's crispy and incredibly tasty. I will be coming back especially for the Soy Garlic!

Food - Fries were decent but I wish there was some more meat and sauce on top. The bottom fries don't get coated enough - still tasty though. Garlic noodles were average. Noodles were too soft and overcooked. Flavor was kinda lacking.

Service - Friendly!

Ambiance - Casual. Seemed like a nice place to hang with friends.

Overall: Would come back to chill with a large group of friends to get some food and drinks but overall the food is average.

The customer service was below average our waiter was not pleased to serve us. I had to seat myself however he was good with refilling our drinks and I did like the fact that they offered free lemonade refills

The chicken was dry and not flavourful at all. We had the small order of chicken 10 wings half soy garlic (which he recommended was the best and advertised as world famous) and half lemon pepper. I definitely would have liked wing stop better than this place for wings. My fave place for wings is definitely fire wings so far.

I asked for a side of rice - their rice was also dry.... Ughhh
I also got the kimchi coleslaw - Meh
I asked for the pickled radish - and they said they ran out so disappointing because eating Korean wings without pickled radish its just not complete
We also ordered their mixed salad with sesame vinaigrette which I liked but it's very basic

Anyways not somewhere I would come back because the customer service and the food was below average for me

Had lunch here on a Monday at 1:00 pm and we were the only diners in the restaurant for the whole time that we were there. This place is not really about decor or ambiance, but that's not why I came. I came to try the garlic noodles and they did not disappoint (not the best that I've ever had, but very good.) My daughter got the Main Street Burger with fries because she's 11-years-old and that's her jam and she did not leave anything on her plate! I got the small order of 10 wings, 5 with garlic soy and 5 with Chinese chili sauce and they were both pretty good. The breading on the wings is insanely crispy (even covered in sauce), which makes for a pretty unique and tasty bite of chicken wing.
