Krave - Atlanta

Was fantastic and the owner is so nice! boggi and mandu and both were absolutely delicious.

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!

We came to Krave after seeing all the great reviews. We did not enjoy the food that much. The girl that was at the cash register had excellent customer service though. We ordered our food for dine in but everything got packaged up to-go. We ordered 2 of the platters and they did not come out as pictured. The meat was placed over the rice which neither one of us wanted it that way because on the picture the rice is served separately. The sides were all on top of each other and the meat was drowned in sauce to the point you can't even taste the meat. We did enjoy the krave sodas but that's about all we enjoyed. The krave fries also seemed very plain. Not much of any type of seasoning on them. From reading the other reviews maybe we just came on a bad day but I won't be giving it another try after that experience.

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!

Perfect hidden gem! I can't get enough Korean food lately but driving all the way to Doraville isn't always an option. Limited dish options but perfect for a good fix.
