Krave

I had read great reviews and how the bathroom was clean, but it was not… food was ok, not the best Korean food I had. We paid extra $ for green peppers with my chicken dish, but there were only 3-4 slivers of green peppers. Also, the windows were all greasy and the bathroom had mold growing…

I've eaten here 3 times in the last month and a half...food was on point every time. Here are pics of the first 2 times. The 3rd time was the rib platter w/chicken bulgogi platter. Good neighborhood spot...I dined in one time and ordered to go twice!

Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy the bulgogi Philly the meat was far too sweet I couldn’t find the small sandwich. I’ve had bulgogi plenty so yes I know it has sugar but this was too much. Amazing pork dumplings though.

I’ve had this place on my radar for a while and I’m so glad I decided to stop for lunch! Had the spicy bulgogi chicken bowl and hot honey fries. Both options are great but the chicken was the highlight for me! Perfectly juicy and very well seasoned. The spice level is just right- mildly hot and slightly sweet with a bunch of additional flavors. Prices aren’t too bad either! I’ll definitely be back with my family at some point, hopefully in the near future!

Wow this place is good. I was pretty famished after skipping my own breakfast to feed my toddler and then spending an hour at Topgolf. We found Krave; I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi platter. I have a kraving for sure now. The pork was crispy, yet tender, with a delicious sauce. I wouldn't quite call it spicy. The pork was decadent yet the banchan gave a great contrast and lightness to the meal. The generous helping of steamed rice sealed the deal.

Korean BBQ place with some American fusion items. We will be talking about this meal for a while. I wish we were in ATL more just to go here. If you are in the area or live nearby, stop by and try it. You won’t be disappointed. Even the fountain drink options are above and beyond delicious. Fresh and unique flavors by STUBBORN. If you prefer, they also have Pepsi products available. The staff are helpful and friendly. The food is generously portioned and prepared expertly. The fried dumplings were perfectly crisped. The Philly is loaded with meat. I switched to a fork and knife halfway through it. We were sharing bites of food around the table because it was so good we wanted everyone to try a bite. It’s a takeout style restaurant in a little strip mall. Sometimes those are the best restaurants in town. Go inside. Try it. The vibe is modern and clean. The food is remarkable. The chefs are talented. 6 stars. Seriously. Note to the owners: Dalton, GA needs a franchise. Pretty please?

We were hesitant because the reviews seemed too good to be true but it was genuinely good food! Be prepared to spend ~$20 a meal but it was worth it. We got a galbi platter (so good) and the steak bulgolgi platter, which come with predetermined sides but they're also very good. We also ordered the glass noodles and the mandu from the a la carte menu. We were prepared to take leftovers home but we devoured it all. The folks running the place were very pleasant as well.

Parking: smaller parking lot Wait time: no wait to order (@ 7pm on Friday) with 5 people Atmosphere: it’s more of a pick up and leave kind of place. There isn’t much seating inside but it’s clean and the cashier was nice. Food: Got the chicken bowl over rice and added the krave fries on the side. I wasn’t sure what the fruit based soy sauce was going to taste like but it was very flavorful with the chicken. I thought the fries by themselves tasted good but I was expecting more than fries and the krave sauce on the side. Everyone that ate it thought it was good. Would I recommend? Yes Would I come back? Yes and I would get the same dish.

Food was delicious, fresh, and came at a reasonable price point with good portions. Definitely a great place for some quick Korean food if you are in the area!! I got the spicy chicken platter which came with chicken cooked in gochujang sauce, rice, pickled cucumbers, soy-marinated green beans, and some coleslaw as banchan. The portions were really generous and they cook it after you order, so it comes out really fresh! The chicken was well seasoned with tons of flavor, and the rice portion was generous! The banchan added some nice acidity to cut through the chicken and was also very flavorful. Loved this platter! I also got the fries with garlic Parmesan sauce and these were also really good! The sauce was drizzled over the fries and was very prominent. You order at a kiosk or at the cashier, and they have the utensils and napkins all there next to the kiosk for you to grab. Interior is nice, decently clean. Really enjoyed the food here and would come back for more!!

Perfect place for a quick meal. They tend to be very efficient and tasty and they keep the place clean. The bowls are very filling. I like the spicy beef bowl. With they had some siracha out for folks to use. Otherwise satisfied

Had a great experience at Krave! The Asian fusion and Korean BBQ dishes were super tasty. Everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly I really enjoyed it

A cheap go to for lunch or after work. Love their beef spare ribs and their shrimp dumplings. Great portion size for the price. Also a good spot for casual outdoor dining. And love that their sauces are made in house daily.

While at the office, I decided to step in Krave for a little korean snack and was not disappointed. The interior is well kept and welcoming, the smells from the kitchen wafting out in full force. I got a takeaway and my food came fast and hot; also the service was very kind. Now for the food, I got the Krave Philly with bulgogi beef plus a side of fries. The fries were very good, but unfortunately, by the time I got back to the office they were a bit less crunchy but still very delicious to eat. For the sandwich, my goodness that's a lot of meat, I definitely got my bang for my buck. The bulgogi beef was topped with a generous but not overwhelming amount of cheese and the flavor of the bulgogi was savory and sweet. The texture was soft but still pleasurable to chew. And it just looks simply appetizing the first time you open the box. 10/10 would recommend.

For Brothers Day Out I let my little brother pick the restaurant. As his palate is diverse and he enjoys a variety of food I wasn't shocked when we ended up at Krave. Driving up to Krave, it is right off the Main Street so you can't miss it. Parking is limited as the lot itself is smaller so I would suggest carpooling if you're in a group. Upon walking in the ambiance is chill yet vibrant. There was an R&B Playlist playing which instantly caught my ear. The style of the decor is simple yet bold. LoL! Let me explain, simple in design, yet bold with the dominance of black as the color stands out with the all glass front and few pops of color. The menu hangs on the wall, I would have loved to have been able to review a paper menu opposed to keeping my neck at an angle while I reviewed the menu, however, there weren't any. As this was my first time at Krave it took me a few moments to fully capture the menu selections. I think my neck was mad at me. I decided on the Chicken Bulgogi Bowl - 12 oz chicken in fruit based soy sauce over rice... The dish is simple by design but elaborate in flavor. The profile fusion of the spice accompanying the fruit based soy sauce is absolutely mouth pleasing. The chicken was moist and flavorful and seasoned with a spice blend that fit the fusion theme of the bowl. The portion was perfect for the price and had enough for me to take some to go. If you're not into spice you can get the bowl regular. My little brother had it that way and enjoyed it as much as I did the spicy. The service is quick and efficient. The young lady at the register was nice and was able to answer the few questions we had. The restaurant was super clean. The tables weren't sticky and the floors were clean as well. Good Food. Clean Environment. Great Playlist. I will definitely be back to Krave for another Chicken Bulgogi Bowl.

Atmosphere: Krave has a clean interior and a little patio area to eat. It seems like they do a lot of pickup orders, but we liked eating inside. Service: It wasn't too busy when we went, and we got our food pretty quickly. The person who took our order was patient and friendly. Food: We ordered the Steak Bulgogi Krave Platter. The beef was quite flavorful, though a bit on the salty side. The banchan were also fresh, with our favorite being the pickled cucumbers. We appreciated their generous serving sizes! Overall: Krave is a solid option if you want a lot of food for a decent price. Though the taste of the food is maybe a bit more catered to an American audience, we enjoyed our meal. We'd love to come back to try more!

Everything they say about this Cheesesteak is true! Even when I reheated the second half it was still amazing !

Blown away by Krave and now we know why the overall Yelp Rating of 5 Stars...well deserved. We finally made it across town to eat wonderful Korean food. We ordered the Bulgogi plate that came with pickled cucumbers and green beans, and coleslaw. We asked for the Bulgogi not to be on the rice and that was not a problem. I really like the sauce in the meat and have this thing about the rice absorbing all of it! We also ordered the beef Mandu. Both arrived quickly and were really nice to look at. Didn't want to eat but we did. The Bulgogi was some of the best I have had and probably the best in the Atlanta area. The sides were just as tasty. The mandu were awesome. Could have had a bit more taste but the sauce that was served with them made up for a taste they might have been missing. Nothing was left which is unheard of when we dine. Service was great. Friendly, informative and quick. The restaurant was very clean as were the bathrooms. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

The food was pretty good but the help is terrible and I would like my tip back. No fork in a stapled bag so you can't check and none of the topping I paid extra for were used. So I ended up eating with my hands and had $3 taken for extras I didn't get. It was not busy either. I was the only one there. Upgraded to 5 stars. Mistakes happen and this owner obviously cares about your experience. They made it right and the food is very tasty. I would definitely come back

The best Korean food in this area. You don't have to go all the way to Buford hwy! Decently priced and nice service as well. Def recommend!

Recently one of my social media followers asked for Korean restaurant recommendations in Atlanta but I had never been to a Korean restaurant in Atlanta. Actually, I have never had Korean before. So this was an exciting adventure to take on. Of course I came to Yelp to find top rated Korean spots and Krave came up as highly rated. When I came back to check on reviews and see what dishes were highly rated, I saw I could order through Yelp! So I placed my order here and received an email to state my food would be ready in 30 minutes. When I arrived, there was plenty of parking and it was free parking. So that was great! When I approached the restaurant, I noticed a cute outside seating area. And once I walked in, the cuteness continued. I loved how the restaurant was set up and wish I had time to eat there that night. I waited a little bit and was given my food. Once he gave me my food, he told me to order from their website in the future as it is cheaper (it's discounted there). Also, while I waited I read some of their fun facts which was great as 80% of their packaging is biodegradable!! LOVE IT!! Now for the kimchi! I'm glad I only ordered kimchi as the bowl was huge! I definitely have half a bowl leftover. But I loved the friend egg on top and the flavoring. This was a really good introduction to Korean food. And I can't wait to go back!

Krave has very tasty Korean food in a nice, modern setting. We ventured here while passing through Atlanta and are happy we did. This is a quick service style restaurant where you order at a counter. Yet, they have the options you might find at a traditional Korean restaurant (the many sides -- kimchi, veggies, etc.). I don't think anyone would go wrong with ordering anything on the menu. It all looked good. As for me, I had the spicy steak plate. Super delicious entree with lots of flavor and tenderness. I highly recommend it.

In west midtown, I feel like there aren't a lot of good Korean options, but when Krave popped up and I saw all of the great reviews, I knew I HAD to try it out. And I was actually blown away. First off, I want to start off by saying I think this is a good, simple, intro Korean restaurant. You won't get your soondubu or jjigae, but you'll get very high quality ingredients and dishes that you typically think of when Korean food comes to mind. The galbi and Bulgogi were delicious. The think I look for is how soft the meat is because it's very easy to overcook them. I was also a fan of the side dishes, particularly the spicy cucumbers - these are one of my most favorite Korean side dishes and this placed NAILED IT. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the ramyun, which tasted just like the Shin Ramen I buy in the stores.

Dined at Krave whilst lurking in the area and needing a spot. Krave looked super promising based on the average reviews. I ordered the spicy steak bowl, fries, and a drink. At $11.95, the spicy steak bowl was reasonably priced, if not, priced very well. At $5, the fries were overpriced. Krave has a soda fountain featuring the popular free trade free range organic grass fed trendy sodas made with gluten free sugarcane. Honestly, the novelty is amazing, but after trying it a few times, I'd much rather just have a regular soda fountain. The spicy steak bowl was pretty unremarkable. The flavors just didn't really surprise and delight me. I can't be too mad though, given the great price. I also can't be too mad at the fries for being equally unremarkable. $5 is a lot of unremarkable fries, but I've certainly seen worse. I don't know. This might ruffle some feathers, but we share our honest opinions on here. The spicy steak bowl that I had at Krave was perfectly serviceable, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I really love this place! It's quickly becoming one of my go tos (I went three times in a week and a half)! I love Korean food and they do not disappoint at Krave. Everything I've had has been so flavorful and always hits the spot. It is a nice place for a quick lunch or casual dinner. The restaurant is small but they do have a few tables outdoor as well. It is also extremely clean inside which I appreciate during these times. If you haven't gone yet this is your sign to stop by!

Stopped by on a weekend to pick up some takeout. Call in was easy and order was ready and correct. Grabbed the krave platter with tofu, spicy. The assorted banchan were tasty, think we had pickled cucumber, green beans and a salad. Pickled stuff was especially tasty. Tofu was very well done and tasty but the house spicy had zero kick. Good taste, just no spice. Will def return.

Wow, what were we waiting for? We live so close to this place and I had seen that it had great reviews, so we should have come much sooner. But that's ok, now we know! We ordered takeout from them recently, and I loved the spicy chicken bowl. It was a nice sweet and savory flavor, which a bit of heat (but not too bad). It also reheated really well for a delicious lunch the next day. My husband had the beef bulgogi plate, and he really enjoyed that as well. His came with a couple sides, but since I just got the bowl, it was the chicken with white rice. We'll definitely have to go back and try more. I can imagine it's even more delicious if you eat it fresh in the restaurant vs. takeout.

I wanted to try this place for years ! My son and I were finishing up shopping for his dorm and decided to stop by for a bite to eat. I had to try their "healthy" alternative to a soda - the pineapple krave carbonated drink. It has a slight apple cider vinegar taste but the pineapple gave it a nice finish and it's healthy so I love it. He ordered the chicken bulgogi bowl and I ordered the pork bulgogi with krave fries with real honey hot topping. The young man who took our order was super friendly and was able to provide suggestions. The place is clean and somewhat bare but cool on a hot summer evening so no complaints. Yummmmmmy ! I will be back

Perfect. Seriously perfect. First time here, got steak bulg platter, nice size portion, yummy and tender. Love the cucumber and coleslaw. Only wish it was closer to my house.

Delish, quick meal! Always fast service. The cucumbers and other sides are refreshing. Both beef and chicken are good!

The food was on point. We tried both the beef and the chicken bulgogi and both were delicious. The banchan that came with the platter were good too; my favorite were the spicy cucumbers... yum! We also tried the Krave drinks which were super tasty. Slight carbonation and then their own syrups are added which are at once flavorful and not too sweet. Definitely worth stopping by if you're looking n the neighborhood!

Best Korean fast casual place - super yummy food and unbeatable prices! I've had this place on my list for a while now and I'm stoked that I got to try it. This would be my go-to if I lived closer and I don't doubt that it is many people's go-to place. Korean food is usually notoriously expensive, but this place is real and doesn't pull that. They easily could, but they don't, and I respect them so much for it. Pork Bulgogi has a bit of a sweeter taste.

Doesn't look like much driving by, but Krave is delicious! Parking: There is a parking lot, so you don't need to worry about paying for parking. It's in a small shopping center, but it doesn't seem too busy so grabbing a spot should be pretty easy. Food: You can order a platter, a bowl, or a Philly. You choose the meat and depending on what option, you'll get rice, veggies, and/or side. I ordered the Bulgogi Platter, and it came with rice, meat, a salad, green beans, and cucumber + kimchi. There was so much food, but after eating it all, I definitely feel too full or gross. Building Vibe: There's music playing in the background, and I actually stopped by for lunch and decided to work the rest of the day there. There are outlets along one bar so I'd make sure your computer is fully charged if you plan to work here. The vibes are pretty chill and the staff is friendly! I would definitely come back here in the future, and I'd recommend for others to visit.

Based on a recommendation from Yelp, I tried this. I had the steak bulgogi platter and a side of kimchi. The bulgogi was very tasty and I finished it all. I loved the coleslaw and corn salad and the cucumber salad was ok. But the coleslaw corn salad was my favorite. The kimchi was a little soggy for me, but very tasty. They also have a stubborn (brand-name) soda machine so I tried the vanilla cream soda deliciousness. The ambiance is very chill, a little small but good for a quick lunch. I would definitely try them again

Always Craving for KRAVE!!! Good food, will be back soon! Definitely a must try on the area.

Went here for lunch with my wife, I got the spicy pork Bulgogi platter & Kim chi fried rice....my wife got the chicken Bulgogi platter...this has to be the best pork Bulgogi I've ever had, there's was so much flavor in the meat that I couldn't stop eating. It's not so over cooked, just enough to still get the juicyness from the meat. The Kim chi fried rice was great as well. Highly recommend getting the pork Bulgogi if it's your first time here. Also the service is great! We'll definitely be back!

A friend and I came here for lunch. This turned out to be a nice fast kbbq place. We both ordered the spicy chicken plate which came with some sides of the day. We also wanted to try the krave fries. There were two flavors: hot honey and garlic. We opted for the garlic when learning the other flavor was a bit sweet however there was a mixup and we ended up getting the hot honey. It was sweet, but they offered the garlic sauce on the side which helped. Overall a great kbbq place if you're on the go!

Really tasty hole in the wall Korean spot! Everything we ordered was super flavorful and there was a lot of variety. Only issue we had was that there's a bit too much oil used in the dishes so the excess grease was a bit much. That said, it was really tasty and the staff was very nice as well. Food comes out as they are prepared too so keep that in mind if you are ordering multiple things

Absolutely delicious! I am in the area for vacation, found this place through Yelp, and absolutely loved it! I am happy that my experience matched all the positive reviews I read :) The food: I got the steak bulgogi plate ($13.95 + tax), and it was amazing. It was like an explosion of flavors, and I enjoyed every single bite. The service: The staff was super nice and extremely welcoming which I really appreciated. Also, they prepared the food very quickly. The atmosphere: There is a lot of parking since it's in a plaza which is really nice. There is also indoor and outdoor seating. The place is super nice and pretty on the inside. It is also extremely clean (including the bathrooms). Overall, I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back next time I am in the area :)

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! The hubs and I had no idea what we wanted for dinner one night and were browsing Yelp when we came across Krave. We are usually a bit skeptical about getting Korean food outside of Doraville or Duluth, but since it wasn't very far from where we were, we decided to give it a shot. We easily placed (and paid for) our take-out order through their website, and our food was ready in the estimated 15 minutes. | Krave Platter | Chicken Bulgogi ($12.95) | Each Krave Platter comes with "Your choice of protein, white rice and daily banchans." (Note: Banchans are Korean side dishes.) I'm not a fan of beef bulgogi, so I chose the chicken. The menu describes it as "Chicken in fruit based soy sauce," and it was exactly that! I thought the chicken bulgogi was flavorful and totally authentic, like something my umma (mom) makes. The three banchan - green beans, spicy cucumbers, and corn with thin-sliced cabbage - also tasted homemade. I thoroughly enjoyed my whole meal! | Krave Bowl| Steak Bulgogi ($10.50) | The hubs ordered a Steak Bulgogi Krave Bowl. The main difference between the Krave Platter and Bowl is that the bowl doesn't come with any banchans. Although I don't like beef bulgogi, I had a taste of the hubs' steak bulgogi and thought it was delicious! It was honestly among the best beef bulgogi I've ever had! | Mandu | Pork ($7.95) | An order of Mandu includes 6 deep-fried Korean dumplings and a side of dipping sauce. The sauce tasted like your standard Korean mandu dipping sauce - a mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds. I may be an odd one with this point, but I actually prefer the taste of frozen (store-bought) mandu over homemade, and I was totally expecting this to be of the frozen variety. But, once again, this tasted homemade! If you love homemade Korean dumplings that contain japchae (sweet potato noodles), you'll enjoy this! Overall, Krave gets 4.5 stars, which I'm rounding up to 5 because I was that impressed by how good my meal was! If the hubs and I are "kraving" Korean take-out but don't want to drive to Doraville, we'll definitely go back to Krave - and I highly recommend you give them a try!

I want to like Krave more but the price to value equation just isn't there for me. I can vouch that the food is good (though on the oily side for me) and prices end up being over $30 for two people at a fast casual feels steep. The location is also kinda difficult to park at.

5 stars and more!! This place looks very ordinary and unassuming but don't be fooled! There are treasures in the form of food inside. Their spicy chicken is something I could eat literally everyday and never get bored. The sauce for their salad (which for us was cabbage and corn) was so delicious I was just looking for this I could dip in it (I chose the green bean banchan to go in it!) and their galbi.. oh their galbi!! super tender and flavorful, my husband and I literally could not stop eating. I wasn't even that hungry go in and we ate all our food! We also ordered japchae, I love glass noodles and I felt it could be a bit more saucy but it was super delicious either way. I'm glad I don't live too close or I would be here on a daily basis. No wonder they have 5 stars

I really loved the food and value at Krave! It's fun to support a new-ish restaurant in Atlanta that has already won so many people over. We ordered combos of Steak Bulgogi--YUM! Heads up, our food was so salty (or something) that my friend and I each drove away dying for water and downing a liter when we got home.

Delicious fresh hot food every time. I love that they use natural fruit to sweeten the food. And I order from here and I've never had one bad experience.

This is one of my new favorite places in Atlanta! I never would have noticed this place if I hadn't seen it on Yelp and I'm so glad we did. If we're craving quick and delicious Korean food this is the place to go. The staff is always super nice and serving sizes are great for the price. Their pork mandu is my absolute favorite because it's perfectly crispy and comes with an amazing dipping sauce. For entree I usually go with the spicy chicken platter and can almost always get two full meals out of it because of the amount of meat they give you. Parking is a little limited but they are in a small building to start with so I would recommend this more for duos and small groups if you're looking to sit and eat, but it's perfect taken to-go as well!

Ordered for the first time today, browsing Yelp for something new to eat for lunch. Place seemed pretty cool. Easy online ordering via Toast made it even cooler. I ordered the Steak Bulgogi Bowl. I meant to take a photo before I dug in, but I was starving and the first few bites kept me going (clearly my taste buds liked it). I thought there was supposed to be some sort of sauce either on it or on the side, but I didn't see any? It's was very tasty, but something was missing. I can't quite put my finger on it. I'd be down to try them again and get a different option as well.

Everything was cooked to perfection. Flavors were on point with that little bit of magic that you can't put your finger on but it elevates the dish. I let feeling full and satisfied. No stomach ache. No post meal regret. Just wanted to go back and get more. I also really liked their Korean soda. Service was friendly and fast. Food was made to order and fresh.

After being made to feel so unwelcome and another establishment down the road we popped into Krave, from the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome and the gentleman who seated us was excellent. He even helped my 6 year who is currently in a wheelchair to his seat made sure his wheelchair was put out the way and made sure he was happy. All other staff always interacted with my 6month in the pushchair. Food was great and priced well, kids menu was small but big enough to avoid any arguments burger was delightful. Coffee was made well. The only comment would be a flat white should be served slightly smaller rather in either regular or large. Overall excellent experience.

Whew chyle! I love spice. And I love Korean food. This spicy chicken bowl was a flavor party in my mouth! The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly. There was even something wrong with the register when I walked in but the gentleman took the time to explain and said he would be right with me. Also I love the fact that they had Hispanic brother at the register. I feel like my Hispanic brothers and sisters are always just in the kitchen cheffin it up but was glad to see him out front. I wish they were in my area but I'll definitely be back when I'm over that way!

Hidden Gem alert! This place does not seem like much but it is absolutely delicious. Probably the best Korean food (not KBBQ) that I have found in the Atlanta area. Portions are decent. Flavors are exquisite. No bad things to say about this place. I think the bulgogi was tender, the Mandu crispy in all the right ways, and the japchae phenomenal, even as leftovers. Well done. I hope this place continues to do what it does, because it is done well.

Great food with good flavors. The pork and chicken bowls with that fruit sauce marry spicy and sweet perfectly. Relatively cheap too. Highly recommend

The only reason why I'm not giving this place five stars is because I got takeout and the food was not properly placed in the bag and oil from the Spicy Chicken Bulgogi poured everywhere. Who puts the big items on top of the small items? I didn't take pictures because everything looked a mess, the tops of the containers were half melted, and like I said...the oil, but the food was exceptionally delicious! Like, everything was SO good! I forgot I was mad at them by the time I finished eating, and that is saying a lot! So we ordered the Jap-Chae (glass noodles stir-fried with pork and mixed vegetables) phenomenal, chef's kiss, Ramyun (Korean spicy ramen noodles with egg) yummmm, and the spicy chicken bulgogi, two chef's kisses. Omg! Even my husband was pleasantly surprised. He liked everything as well. So, this will be our new Korean spot. For sure.

This place came highly recommended! Loved my cheesesteak. I'll definitely be back soon!

Ep. 109 of AntlantaEats This spot recently opened Nov. 2021. 3 words to describe them: Quick, Affordable and Tasty!Here's what we ordered: - Bulgogi Philly (you already sold me!) - Spicy Chicken Platter - Parmesan Fries Literally every taste was fulfilling. I have now added this as one of my fav go to Korean spots. The next visit I will try their 'Galbi'

Stopped by for takeout today and had an odd experience. What I ordered were the jap chae (glass noodles with pork) then an order of fries a steak bulgogi philly and a ginger beer. I opted out of tossing my fries in sauce because it was an additional $2.00. But that wasn't the odd part. I arrived home and started eating when I noticed that the glass noodles were stuck to the bowl. Each take out container is made of recycled material. The hot noodles peeled that paper off and fused with it. I had to throw most of them away. The part I did eat was tasty. The favorite of the night was the philly. So I may be back.

I'm super excited that this place came to the neighborhood, I love Korean food and it's nice not to have to drive all the way to Buford highway to get some now. The staff was really nice, everyone was friendly and helpful and had great suggestions. You don't see that too often these days. I ordered the spicy chicken plate and man did it come with a lot of food! The chicken was tender, flavorful, I really enjoyed it. It definitely could have been enough for two meals but it was so delicious I couldn't stop eating lol. The kimchi was so good too. I can't wait to come back and try more things!

It's awesome to have a new quick lunch in the area that's not boring. If you've never had Korean this place is a good intro but don't expect anything like on BuHi. I've only ordered for pickup during lunch but they do have a small eat in area. My food has always been hot and ready at the stated pickup time and the staff are friendly. I've had the bulgogi platter and the spicy pork. They come with a cabbage/corn salad, rice, and the daily rotation of 2 banchan (sides). I don't care for the salad at all. The banchan have been good, so far I've had the potatoes (like a sweet sesame), spicy cucumber ( my favorite), and I think a fried green tomato (not southern style). I'm not sure if they ever have kimchi as one of the sides but I'd love it if they did. I've liked both entrees with a preference for the bulgogi. While I liked the spicy pork, I wish it was slightly less saucy because the sauce overly coats the rice. It is spicy so the rice can't be used as a reprieve from the spice of its coated like that. I'm looking forward to trying something else from here, probably the galbi.

We were in the area and looking for something new. Krave is a fun concept with great flavors and service. We'll definitely be back for the Spicy Shrimp!
