Came here with my family on few occasions and each time was really pleasant. First of all, I like the fact it has a very nice ( dog friendly) outdoor area. Beautiful fireplace which creates very relaxing atmosphere. The food was great too. For Korean fried chicken, you can’t get much better this, and the size! I had their Pokebowl many times and I love both the Hawaiian ginger soy and the spicy mayo version. Garlic noodles you definitely can’t find it anywhere else. The udon noodle is my new favorite. There are just a little bit of everything for everybody! Burgers, ramen, curries, you name it. The service is very personal, attentive, knowledgeable. Our family really enjoyed each of our visit. We now call ourselves regulars!

We love this new Asian fusion restaurant! Their Katsu Chicken is crispy perfection, and the Taiwanese Noodles are a flavor explosion. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, and a must-visit for foodies!

I love their Irvine location and thought I’d check out this location too while I was in town. Same amazing quality food. The Korean fried chicken, bibimbap, and avocado salmon salad are all so tasty. Super attentive and friendly staff. Beautiful bar and outdoor patio area, especially at night. Great for chilling with friends or any occasion.

Food was great. Large portion sizes and delicious flavoring.The Korean wings arent the regular tiny wings you will get at most restaurants. Had Mango Habanero & Chinese Chilli. So kick as you would except but did not overwhelm the flavoring.The Japanese Curry Katsu is now one of my daughters favorite dishes and loved the plating.Appetizer are good size and perfect for sharing.Udon soup was done perfectly and great option for kids (before we realized they do have a separate kids menu).

Great quality delicious food at a great price! Service was incredible as well. Got the loaded Kogi fries as a starter which was tasty and spicy, got a main of the Korean fried chicken strips (soy garlic was amazing and Chinese chili was really good as well, it was citrusy similar to orange chicken) and a delicious cheesecake for dessert. Beers were good as well, really impressed with this spot!

I felt honored to be invited to participate in a soft opening event for Krave Asian Fusion. Although their menu is heavily invested in various Korean Fried Chicken dishes, there are also noodle, burger, fish, and vegan options available (although I didn’t find any Gluten Free items).Executive Chef and owner Will Chen was present and was careful to explain that this isn’t his first launch, but rather an expansion of his initial footprint first planted in Orange County, California (where his fried chicken has been recognized as award winning).Both the number of courses and portions at this event were generous. Each of the chicken dishes featured very distinctive flavors with my favorite being the “Chinese Chili” offering. It was covered in a sweet and crispy shell with a tender and flavorful chicken center that reminded me of the Lemon Chicken dishes that I’ve enjoyed elsewhere. A close second for me was the “Spicy” version. I sampled it immediately after the “Mango Habanero” (which was pretty spicy and created apprehension about the “spicy” dish that was to follow). Surprisingly I found the “spicy” dish to be less so than the “habanero” dish.To round out the chicken dishes I also sampled the “Soy Chili” (which I found crispy, but not as sweet as the “Chinese Chili”), “Lemon Pepper” (which was a bit salty for my palette), and the “Taiwan 5 Spice” (which had a very thick and crunchy shell).Their other offerings included “Taiwanese Garlic Noodles” (the garlic smell was wonderful and the noodles were light, but buttery, possibly because they were sautéed in olive oil) and the “Loaded Kogi Fries” (the Sriracha Cheddar Sauce was a 2/10 on the hotness scale while the Jalapeños achieved the high score of 6/10).If you enjoy Korean Fried Chicken, Krave is worth your time.And that’s…Henry’s Take.#sandiegokoreanfriedchicken

Super yummy! We got the garlic noodles, spicy and soy garlic wings, and the Shroomin’ burger. All the food was delicious and the price was great for the amount of food you get. The atmosphere is also very nice with a large patio, firepit seating and space heater to stay warm. The service is very friendly and quick!We will definitely becoming back!
