3.5. They were out of the pizza bao and and ham&cheese bao so I opted for the cheesy meat bao. I didnt know they come in 3's. I really just wanted one. Kind of wish that was more clear...since they werent good. Food: Cheesy Meat Bao- The meat bao by itself is fine, but tbh the cheese doesnt really go well with it. I was thinking it would be more of a cheeseburger bao with ground beef inside, but it was just the standard veggie/pork bao with cheese on top of the bao itself. Spicy Shrimp Dumpling- These are like a krn style dumpling. I enjoyed em and though they tasted great. Overall, I wouldnt mind comin back to try their other baos. I really wish they would just do a sampler of all 3 though instead of having to order each one in a set of 3. I would also come back to try their rose spicy rice cakes since it seems to be popular.

Kimbap is one of my favorite foods but I had never even heard of keto kimbap until Cr8zy Bao. My life has been forever changed, I'm absolutely obsessed! If I was a local, I'd eat here everyday! Some of their food items weren't that great, but there are other menu items that are absolute must trys. Their signage is a bit hidden from the outside, but it's next to the Acupuncture shop. We ordered takeout online via their website: - 3pc Mix Bao ($7.76) - I ordered the mix bao so I was expecting 1 meat, 1 vegetable, and 1 red bean, but they actually gave me three vegetable buns boo :( These tasted like homemade home cook buns, nothing to write home about - the dough was a bit bland, and the fillings were too mild in flavor. Would pass on these next time - Beef Bulgogi Kimbap KETO ($10.99) - SO GOOD. Bomb diggity. 8 big pieces of kimbap stuffed with beef bulgogi, pickled daikon, carrots, sesame, cucumber, greens, and egg. LOVED IT! - Tuna Kimbap KETO ($10.99) - If you love tuna, you'll be a fan of their tuna keto kimbap. LOVED IT! - 10pc Fried Wings (Garlic Soy, Mild Spice Level) ($16.99) - Really, really yummy. Awesome crunch, loved the flavor, super moist chicken. Delish! - Custard Taiyaki ($7) - you get two pieces. The taiyaki batter tastes a bit like a thin vanilla ice cream cone (so I wasn't really a fan, would prefer something more cake-like) and there wasn't that much custard filling in there (albeit the custard was good when you did get a bite of it) Would definitely stop by again for their keto kimbap and fried wings!

A little hidden as their signage is behind the old restaurant name. It it tucked away in a plaza with many other korean restaurants. I wouldn't say Cr8zy Bao is korean but definitely a fusion! We got baos to share and they were the bomb? Why you might ask because they did not skimp on the filling and their bao part was on the thinner side making more space for the fillings! Same for their tuna roll which was about $12. There was minimal rice making room for the other parts of the fillings. Tempura was yummy also!

I saw a picture of the kimchi and spicy shrimp dumplings and thought it looked amazing, so that's what sold me to come try this place. Stopped by on a Friday evening around 5pm and it was empty. Didn't really think anything of it since the plaza itself didn't seem that busy and because the reviews on this place seemed good. Our order of the two dumplings was roughly $28 and came with a side of soup. We tried the kimchi dumplings first and they were pretty spicy. Unfortunately, that's all there was to it flavor wise. It was mainly spicy, but not salty or anything in the slightest. That disappointed me, next was the spicy shrimp dumplings. Those were a bit better just because you can actually taste the shrimp pieces, but still quite plain. The only thing we actually enjoyed about the dumplings were the chewy skin. Sad that I could not enjoy the food as much as my eyes did.

Had the rose tteokbokki. It was a bit sweet and tastes like pizza.. the dumpling soup was reeeeeaaaaaally to die for. Food tastes great. The lady at the counter was very lovely and accommodating, she's like everybody's eomeoni. I wish they serve bingsu.

I'm honestly surprised that this place doesn't seem to be too popular! I've only been here two times but both times were rather decent. The first time I tried their Korean fried chicken, soup dumplings, and kimchi dumplings. Last week I got the Bulgogi kimbap, rose pasta, and custard taiyaki. Food: The food is pretty good to be honest. Not the best thing I've ever had but decent Korean street style food. I think it has been at least over a year since my first visit. I remember the Korean fried chicken to be crunchy and the batter was the flaky style. The soy garlic sauce was good but not my favorite version that I've had. I think it was on the sweeter side. The dumplings I had were okay, nothing special. I enjoyed the kimbap! The Bulgogi inside was kinda dry but it all worked together in one bite. Pretty decent value because the portion sizes here are huge. I think this was my first time trying the Korean rose sauce and I loved it. I ordered the hot heat level and it didn't leave me dying, but it had a really good kick. The sauce was creamy, spicy, sweet, savory, almost addicting. There weren't that many things inside besides some small bits of pork and bacon of some sort. There was lots of cheese which I also assume helped with the spice. I would definitely be interested to try this in the rice cake dish. These dishes can definitely be shared and would be good drinking food! Ordering online has been easy both times and definitely recommend doing that if you plan on ordering for takeout as it's convenient. This place is for sure worth checking out for the food alone!

I LOVE this place! Best KFC! I prefer here over BBQ Chicken. They have the yummiest Kimbap and a Keto version of the regular flavors too! They have fish cake soup- perfect for under the weather or a regular day. So many menu offerings, I have to come back. Jae & Chaz are amazing & super hospitable. Service with a smile & Yumtum for my tummy. Perfect K-food that isnt Bbq!

We came an hour before closing. Their sign isn’t too big so it’s hard to find. They’re in the middle of the plaza, next to a greenery space. We got the kimchi dumplings and the fried chicken. The chicken was super juicy and delicious! The kimchi dumplings were pretty good too. Keep in mind, the prices are a bit high. It was enough for 2 people though. We waited for 40 minutes for our food. Highly recommend to call in advance or you’d be waiting for a while.. luckily it was only our order. I cannot imagine how long it’ll take if there were people ahead of us. Also, if you pay with card. There’s a % fee. They won’t tell you but there’s a paper that says next to the cash register. So bring cash if you don’t want to pay that fee!
Was really good! The shop is family owned and the service was wonderful. Would stop by again when in the area!

Their food is amazing it's a bit of a wait I would advise to call in your order. I would definitely recommend most of their dishes. I'm still working on trying everything myself

So after stuffing myself full of Korean bbq, a couple friends wanted to try the taiyaki here. I was too full but decided to take some home for later. When I got home, I told myself "oh I should try a bite while it's still warm just to see what it tastes like super fresh." 5 minutes and 2 taiyaki later, I absolutely hate myself for my lack of self control, but this is the best forkin taiyaki I've ever had. I got one sweet potato and one red bean. There's also a custard, but I'm not a fan of custard. Do yourself a favor and don't sleep on this place. The place is really cute, VERY clean, and the workers were really friendly!

This is the second time I've been here and I absolutely love this place. It's very cozy and clean inside. Staff are super friendly and nice. Last time I got a bunch of different dumplings and some kimbab and they were all so very delicious. This time I got some Taiyaki and omg they're so good. Some of the best taiyakis I've ever tried. I can't wait to try some of the baos next time.

Great menu selections. Everything tasted good. The dumplings and bao combo allowed you to try different flavors. The rose rice cake was creamy. The chicken was perfectly fried. Their service is primarily self served where you get your own water, utensils, napkins, and bus your own trays.
