Nice concept, good food! Been wanting to try this place for a while since it's so close to my house. Small space inside with a few seats and tables. Employees were friendly and helpful, food was cooked fresh. I wanted to try a few different items to see what I might like for next time so I got a bowl with a lettuce base, beef & chicken, a fried egg, and a bunch of toppings. There are a ton of toppings to choose from, I got about 9 of them but next time I'll probably only add a few. You order at the front like Chipotle, they load the bowl then give it to the kitchen to freshly prepare the meat for you. The beef was super tender, chicken was juicy, it all mixed together nicely for a tasty lunch bowl. I tried three sauces, the garlic mayo which was very good, the spicy mayo which tasted just like the kind you get at a sushi spot, and the Dalcom which was sweet, tangy, and a little spicy. I'll definitely come back again and figure out the right combo that I like! read more

Really enjoyed Craft Bowl! It made for an easy and chill lil lunch spot for me and my friend. We built our own unique mini bowls and dined in. The meat and fried egg ($3 extra but you GOTTA get it, so well cooked) were all cooked fresh and the rice and toppings were all readily available to choose from up front; the wait time for our finished bowls was less than five minutes, and the garlic mayo made for the perfect topper! We especially loved the cilantro kimchi. Also appreciated the patience of their employee to explain what's what and make recommendations! Pretty good portion sizes too, as the "mini" was filling. There aren't many choices for beverages which was a bummer, but the green tea out of the fridge was good. It'd be cool to see them expand upon some elements such as the drinks and maybe more topping/side options, but it's clearly a small business that knows its strengths and keeps things minimalist. I'd probably do takeout next time and grab a good soda or side elsewhere on the way home to really complement the bowl. read more

They changed the menu and it is not as good as it used to be. We came here last year and it was amazing. However, they took the spicy pork bulgogi off the menu. The spicy pork bulgogi was definitely the highlight so it was super disappointing to find out they got rid of it. The pork belly was ok, nothing too special. The sauces were decent. Food was edible, but not as flavorful. I even got 6 or 7 toppings. But overall, not as gas as before. They didn't have every topping available. Out of pocket, if you ask me. Service was ok. Came in around 7:45pm and only had one party in front of us. The employee in front took a while and seemed like they were moving in slow motion. I can see how this would be very agitating for some during rush hour. Also the cooks in the back were sus. Or maybe they were in a bad mood. read more

The best place to get rice + protein bowls!!! The flavor is EXQUISITE. I would gatekeep this place but they deserve to be known. It is located in a quiet plaza with a car wash. There's some seating inside but I think it's primarily a to-go place. I have been here two times and always got the beef bowl. It's a small mom and pop shop and it functions similarly to a Chipotle where you get to choose your ingredients. Do yourself a favor and get the beef with both the garlic and spicy mayo. The last time I went was a Thursday evening, my friends and I came around half an hour to closing (we apologize). There was nobody else in the store. Some of us got beef while others got pork. Everyone loved it! The employee was also nice enough to let us stay in to sit past closing and even gave us some pear juice which was delicious and refreshing. We are so grateful and I can't wait to come back! read more

Craft Bowl - beef and pork bowls - Korean Near Me - Anaheim, California

The bowls were a little too saucy and salty for my taste. More Americanized than authentic

Tried this spot today while waiting for my truck that was at the car wash next door . I liked Customizing my bowl with ingredients I like . Tried a few different sauces which make it spicy but delicious . Love how they let u do half / half rice and glass noodles . Both are very good . I got the Bulgogi meat which is very good . Pretty basic inside but clean . They have a happy hour special in the late afternoon which is nice for people on a budget . The employee was nice and helpful . read more

Food was great quality, the beef and tofu have good flavor to them. For the bulgolgi it has a nice charred taste and seasoning. I added some toppings like kimchi, garlic, furikake, and grilled jalepeño... There was a gentleman with glasses that helped me and he made the service quick, easy and enjoyable. It appeared to be just him working there but he seemed very attentive to everyone regardless. Would recommend. It's flame broiler style bowls but with Korean flavors, better quality ingredients/meat and portions. No issues overall, and the rice was cooked perfectly as well. This place is tucked away next to a busy street, and it's a small shop with some seating inside. Definitely a hole in the wall but to me it is a hidden gem. read more

Yum...great concept & great foods. I got 1/2 white tie & 1/2 lecture and he lets me have 1/2 beef & 1:2 pork plus the any toppings (I added 6 of them) and with 2 sauces on top. This place has parking but not a lot, but manageable and inside is small but spacious and mostly for to go. They do have 3-4 tables/chairs inside if you decided to dine in. There is one friendly and nice guy working there and he had several orders for pick up. I waited for awhile but he did apologized for the delayed. The foods are very tasty & well marinated, it does take awhile to heat it up through the wheel-go-around over the fire but it worth the wait. As for prices, not bad. The cost for this order is $19 including tip. Will stop by for more when in area for sure. Yum!!! read more

The food was great the portion was large and the choices were plenty. The sauces are great to it wasn't bad at all. The service was quick and she was nice even though it took a bit for the beef as they ran out I didn't mind the wait. The inside was clean and there is seating areas to eat. My only downside would be the price it was a bit on the high side but I would definitely go here again. read more

This is another one of my local eateries I've tried it here a few times staff is very friendly they have veggie bowls for those who are vegetarian I see a lot of hipster type kids come here if that's your ride but all in all it's a really good place they have good prices and a customer service is top notch it's definitely a place I'll come back to. I recommend the vegetables very delicious good rice read more

Plenty of parking, located in a plaza. This place is like a Korean chiptole/cava. You pick your size, base, protein, then topping. Regular size come with 1 protein and unlimited toppings while mini came with 3 toppings. Service was top notch. Staff welcomed us and explained how to order and each item. Inside there's 4 tables to sit at. My order: - mini - half brown rice, half lettuce - spicy pork bulgogi - red ginger, sour cream, regular kimchi - spicy mayo Everything mixed well. Came out saucy, balanced, and flavorful. I like they have many kimchi options such as cilantro and radish. They also make their own sauces. read more

Came in 2025. Had some of the best chicken I've had in my life. Marinated, flavorful, perfectly tender. Why would you change that recipe? New grilled chicken was thoroughly middling. Will not be coming back unless I see in reviews that they put the recipe back to the marinated chicken. read more

What started off as a disappointment, ended-up being one of my best meal experiences in the last year. Why an early disappointment? I recently saw an influencer's review and, as is common, it made the place look nicer than it is. So? Just past the place's simple look, lies a terrific fast casual restaurant. With the help of a very friendly person behind the counter, I chose a beef bulgogi bowl with a base of glass noodles and rice. I tried a little of almost every topping available, then went with a mix of spicy mayo and Mapcom 2 sauces. What did I end-up with? One incredibly delicious meal! Don't hesitate to check this place out; I'm smitten! read more

This is a pretty good spot if you're looking for a quick lunch. It's located in a strip mall and we were able to find parking pretty easily on a Saturday afternoon. I got the mini bowl while my girlfriend got the regular. Both seemed to be enough food to get you satisfied/full so the mini is likely a better value unless you want more toppings. The meat quality and sauce are both okay. For the base, we got japchae which was just glass noodles (I thought there would be more to it like stir fried vegetables). Even though there are tables inside, they don't offer any cups of water so this place may be better suited for takeout. read more

Food seemed generously portioned but given each bowl was almost $20, I guess it's appropriate for the amount spent. Toppings are limited and pretty basic but there's premium ones like an egg or edamame which we had to pay extra for. Definitely not a sit down place. Kind of uncomfy to sit and eat given the space is a bit run down inside. It leaves much to be desired but take out or delivery is fine. Expected a little more given the reviews vs reality. read more

I've visited this place several times now. Wanted to try the different options, different sauces. Just now, I ate my leftover Brown rice bulgogi bowl, and the blend of flavors still kicks. Located 8-10 minutes from Disneyland, this is a great pick up spot. As others have mentioned, the place is quaint, some simple seating, but it's more of a take out place. Parking is a hit or miss, depending on the time you get here. But on this particular trip, it was around 7:30pm and parking was super easy. I've tried most of the options, and would recommend a mix of Brown rice + Japchae (glass noodles), with Bulgogi, and nearly all the toppings. The portions is quite generous, and could easily be a meal for two. My kids love the food, and they could be quite picky eaters. Spicy Mayo, their most popular sauce isn't too spicy, and that's my usual go to. Can have a mini bowl or a regular bowl, so you can try ordering a smaller option if you don't want too much leftovers. Service has always been friendly and quick. The co-owners that are here some times are passionate for there business. I've mentioned to them that I wish there was a branch in Brea, where I am located. It would be a perfect 2nd location due to the convenience, and demographics that would try this option for food. read more

I used to love this place, especially after a 12 hour shift. But sadly they changed their menu, they no longer carry spicy pork bulgogi. Along with that they took off some of their toppings that were better than the ones they have now.I went after a 12 hour shift super excited just to find everything changed not a sign or warning in sight. Super disappointed but the service was good, I just don't think I'd go back unless they elevated their protein options again :( read more

I ordered this on door dash and I was actually surprised at the portion size and the combination of ingredients was actually good but I ended up getting the worst food poisoning that lasted for three days after I ate here. I ordered a bulgogi bowl. I felt perfectly fine until about 45 minutes after eating the bowl. I don't know if it is a food handling issue or something spoiled but I was very disappointed. I did report it on door dash to the restaurant and I never got a response. I just hope they are more cautious in the future with food handling so nobody else experiences this. read more

I love fusion foods and I also love places where I can customize my own bowls, so of course I had to check out Craft Bowl in Anaheim. The customer service was super friendly and it's very clean inside. Not many tables though, but luckily it's easy to take to-go. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi bowl. It definitely was not spicy at all. For my base, I decided to do half white rice, half japchae. I think I will just stick with all white rice or all japchae next time. I love their variety of toppings and sauces though. The prices are very reasonable given how quick and convenient it is and also the portion size. My bowl was stacked. I would definitely come back. read more

Really good Korean food at the style of a Chipotle where you pick your base, protein and toppings for one price. Bulgogi and spicy pork are good selections and the bowls are hearty and full. I would not recommend eating inside because the ventilation is pretty bad and my eyes kept watering and my clothes and hair all smelled like oils. read more

The food here was okay. I do like how they have a lot of options here and was surprised to see how well sour cream went with my bowl, but I was also hoping to see other side dishes such as potato salad/macsalad/fishcake. The part that I didn't like the most was how oily the japchae was. It ruined the whole experience for me. I ate half my bowl and then tossed the rest. The parts that weren't oily were decent though. The service was good but I was a little rushed during my order. read more

My husband, daughter and I tried this place tonight. It was delicious! We like to try different restaurants every week, preferably a small business or mom n pop type. We want to see small businesses survive here in Anaheim. We're so glad we found this spot! You pick your base, protein, toppings, and sauces. We had chicken and pork belly. All the flavors came together so well. The amount of food was perfect so we left with satisfied bellies. They didn't have a kid's size option, but they did give us price break for our toddlers bowl which was just rice, cheese, and corn; we truly appreciated that. We're definitely coming back for those comfort food cravings. I wish I got the man's name, but he was so helpful and polite. We'll see you again soon! read more

Craft is a healthy and delicious spot for customizable bowls and Korean style build-your-own Chipotle bowls! I got half japchae half lettuce for my base and chicken bulgogi for my protein with a variety of toppings like corn, kimchi, pickled veggies. The portion was quite generous and everything tasted really good especially with the taste of pickled veggies and the tender chicken bulgogi meat! They also offer sauces to top the bowl off with and I got spicy mayo on the side. Overall a great spot for a quick and delicious meal! read more

TONS of great delicious food in a bowl! The concept is similar to Chipotle; you pick your protein, toppings and dressing. Picked the spicy bulgogi; tender, flavorful and a little kick but not overwheling. Loved the kimchi and the cilantro kimchi. Tons of fresh ingredients. Didn't finish my food so they shared tips on how to reheat and it was delicious! Friendly staff. Small space but worth checking out! Will visit again read more

Little hidden gem. Very minimal decor but enough to eat inside if you want to. Choose your base of rice, noodles or lettuce. Then select your protein which has an avocado option. Toppings are plentiful as are the sauce options. We tried the popcorn chicken and the spicy pork bulgogi. The chicken was fried fresh and the nuggets were tender and had a nice flavor without any sauce. Not too salty or greasy which we appreciated. You have to try the cilantro kimchi which was very tasty and I liked it more than regular kimchi. We want to come back to try more protein options. read more

The rice and other toppings taste the same which is good. The down side is just the new protein options. They are not really great. One last thing prepare to eat a lot nerves within the beef brisket bowl. :( .-. read more

I've being seeing Craft Bowl all over social media and it looked delicious! As a Korean American living in Southern California, I've been exposed to great Korean food especially at home so I'm quite skeptical about trying these Korean fusion fast casual restaurants with Chipotle style build-your-own-bowls. Here's what I ordered: **Regular Spicy Pork Bulgogi Bowl: I got this with white rice and added almost every free topping besides lettuce, sour cream, cheese, and their crispy offerings. Everything was so fresh and delicious especially the three different styles of kimchi that they offered. I topped it off with their habanero sauce and that was amazing! (5/5) For just under $15 with hefty portions, the price alone is well worth it. The bulgogi was lacking a little bit of flavor but still very good. Every single topping was fresh and delicious. As a Korean American, I approve of Craft Bowl. Try this spot and you won't be disappointed! read more

This is a small out of the way restaurant, plenty of parking. The place itself doesn't look particularly nice, pretty shabby and I have to shout to have the employee hear my order. That said, the food is pretty good. It's not very pricy and there's enough variety of toppings to really make the bowl special. The garlic chips and guac are great and so is the kimchi. For the price you're paying, a great cheap alternative for quick and tasty Korean comfort. read more

Craft bowl is sooooooo good!!! It's like a Korean chipotle. You can customize your bowl with whatever base you want, whatever meat you want & then the toppings and the sauces. I always switch it up when it comes to the toppings but I get the japchae (glass noodle base) and beef bulgogi as my meat option. Service is always so friendly, prices are very fair, and portions are very generous! read more

This spot is so good! So glad we tried it We ordered delivery and everyone got the beef bulgogi bowl. The fact they let you have 8 toppings is amazing! I doubled up on the grilled onions and fried onions, and got japchae and salad bases. I also got medium heat which wasn't hot at all for me, so next time I'll be trying the habenero. Overall, great experience and will definitely be eating this spot again! read more

Hi I want to break down my review, b/c I wasn't completely satisfied with everything, so I will explain. The service, the taste of their food, the decor, the pricing, the menu, and the portions were all fantastic! If I had to recommend them to my friends, I would say it's worth it for about a 28 minute drive but after that, you might spawn something closer to your house,, or maybe not. Anyhow, I have to go write another review. I guess there's nothing wrong with this place. I love them. I'm gonna go back there really soon. Peace out. read more

Don't believe the hype on TikTok/Instagram! tl;dr If you're in the neighborhood, and it's convenient, then it's fine. Don't go out of your way to go here. This place was marketed as a "Korean Chipotle". They attempt to fuse the fast-casual food experience with KBBQ style of food. Food was just okay. They had some unique options. The cilantro kimchi was a highlight, but not much else. The basics you'd expect with a couple roasted options. I had also asked for two sauces for my bowl. I asked for them on the side. The server put the first sauce on my bowl. I spoke up as he was putting the first sauce on my bowl. I told him I asked for the sauce on the side. He said "I know", and proceeded to finish putting the first sauce on my bowl. He then put the second sauce on the side. It's also on the higher end of a price point. Cost about $35 for two bowls. Food IS expensive, but this is DEFINITELY something you could make at home for way cheaper. Not enough topping options to make it a worthwhile price point. And then, this place will ask for a tip, which is just overkill. Unless it's convenient and you're feeling adventurous, this place is a pass. There are better options out there. read more

There was 1 person working, and there was 5 groups of customers (including myself). He worked fast and efficiently and got through the line fairly quickly. Great bowl. Build your own by adding whatever toppings you want after adding your protein. It's like a chipotle with Korean proteins/asian inspired toppings. Inside theres not too much space for sitting. There's 3 or 4 tables. Nothing too crazy with interior decor, but the food is delicious. Highly recommend. Try this place if you are in the area, will be coming again. read more

my partner and i came in around 4:40 on a saturday for linner and was pleasantly surprised to see that their happy hour occurs on the weekends! their happy hour is an amazing deal, we saved $7ish on our bowls. the people working needed some time to prepare food since they were wiped out from the earlier hours of happy hour, and they were super appreciative for the patience of everyone in line. the staff were so upbeat and friendly that i was happy to let them take their time! last time i came, i avoided the kimchi because i didn't know if all 4 kimchi options were made with fish. this time, however, the worker pointed out which kimchi were made with fish (the cabbage kimchi and fried kimchi) and which weren't (the raddish kimchi and cilantro kimchi) and i really appreciated that he knew and that there were vegetarian kimchi options. i've never had cilantro kimchi but the strong flavors of cilantro were muted and i really enjoyed it. also guac is such a yummy vegetarian option for "protein" (even if it doesn't rlly have protein), they're generous and give you 2 scoops there's so many options for your bowl base, toppings and sauces that you can't go wrong with this place. the store is pretty small but there's indoor seating and good music. fried foods take 5-10 minutes to make because they're made fresh, and the fried seaweed rolls that we got were piping hot and served with gochujang. the new menu options (japchae, fried seaweed rolls and fried dumplings) were fun to find too!! please please visit this place, it's absolutely amazing read more
