Super friendly service and everything was delicious. Chicken Katsu Curry and Kimchi slaw.

Interior is a little dark and outdated. Very limited alcohol selection: beer, wine, seltzers in a can. No hard alcohol...boo.
Food is excellent: pot stickers, chicken sliders, garlic noodles, udon soups
Sometimes this place is packed or you could be the only people in there.
Will be going back.

Love Krave! They have a variety of options and their Korean fried chicken is the best I’ve ever had! They also have friendly and attentive staff. I’ll definitely be back!

Greasy food not tasty

Great food, service, cleanliness, and all around great environment. Highly recommend and I try to visit whenever in the area.

Came here on Saturday around 4pm and it was a slow day. Got my order taken quickly. Highly recommend the 10 bone-in soy garlic wings and loaded Kogi fries. If you're sensitive to pickled things then pass on the fries. The music was a plus while we were inside. There's a lot of seating.

Located off Main Street near the intersection of Jamboree road in Irvine, I visited Krave Asian Fusion Restaurant on a Thursday afternoon around 5pm-ish right before the dinner rush. Brandon was the only employee working the front, and he was friendly and as efficient as one person can be. I ordered the 10pc bone-in wings which is offered in 6 flavors: Soy Garlic, Spicy, Chinese Chili, Lemon Pepper, Taiwan 5 Spice and Mango Habanero. Brandon informed me I could try two flavors, so I got a half order of the Spicy and a half order of the Taiwan 5 Spice which is a dry rub. I appreciated that the wings were meaty but they were also on the dryer side. Neither flavor was spicy in my opinion and the Taiwan 5 Spice wasn't too flavorful at all. I've definitely had better wings elsewhere! I washed down my meal at the bar with a cold Asahi beer special they were promoting. Although my experience with their fried chicken wasn’t memorable, they do have other menu items that might be worth trying. Regardless, I wish Krave all the best going forward!

Food was top notch and service was outstanding. A great little place to grab some excellent food.

Best Chicken Karaage, soy ginger style. Surface shatters in a bite. So good

Perfectly serviceable Asian fusion, from potstickers to burgers to loco moco.
Parking: Don't pass up the parking spots right in front of the restaurant.
I may be jaded but I did not find the food to be great. It was OK (2.4 stars or so) but it wasn't something I'd pay $50 to eat. I ordered the 1/2 pound of meat and as good as this sounded, it was basically a hamburger patty cooked through and placed on a bed of plain rice. I could have literally gone to Walmart down the street and got the same. The Thai curry was again, OK. Not good not great but not disastrous, either. The fries were actually pretty good. Sodas were flat and didn't have enough syrup in them so I'd skip that part, as well. But for $13, you can get some good fries.

We came here several times and liked most of the items which included the crispy chicken wings, and burger sliders. However, the place could use a thorough cleaning (I hope at least once in a while) this should include all the tables and chairs (felt sticky and unclean), the floors, and the doormat (probably need a new doormat). Most importantly, the cooks; uniforms needed to look crispy and clean. (We noticed a male staff walking in and toward the back kitchen ( his outfit appeared to be a bit filthy). We would love to come back but for these reasons, we will wait for a while before returning. This review stemmed from our sincere honesty and constructive feedback for improvement.

I ordered from Grubhub. The seasoning of the chicken wings was super tasty but the actually quality of the chicken is terrible. The chicken wing bones are broken and the flavor of the chicken is just off. I also noticed that my package was open when it arrived which was strange.
