    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.

    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!!!

    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 .

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The so called Beef Brisket Bowl. There was a lot of pieces of fat just charred.
    Angel A.

    The Beef Brisket was so hard to chew. It was so burnt. I want the old menu back. The menu is not really that appetizing. Also there no more mini bowls. 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. :( .-.

    Service - was great, person behind behind counter was nice, personable 5/5 Food - was okay, meat a little salty, interesting mix of flavors than expected 3/5 Parking - a little difficult but not too bad. Probably spoiled due to ample parking where I usually go 3/5 More of a take out spot than a dine in spot. Price was a good deal for the hh special! I would do 3.5 stars

    Gloria L.

    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!

You need to add your own salt which is provided on the table. It's a simple and filling soup. The Galbi Tang is flavorful with lots of meat. You also add your own salt. This is one of my go to "sick dishes" as it's very comforting. Their Yuk Gae Jang is SO GOOD. It's definitely my favorite here. It's the perfect amount of spice. It's filled with meat, noodles, and veggies. The flavor of the broth itself is so yummy and when rice is added, one bowl can be stretched to three full meals. I had this dish last week and I actually can't stop thinking about it. Overall everything here has been delicious and the portions are very generous. The banchan includes 3 dishes: radish kimchi, kimchi, and mustard greens kimchi. All have fish sauce. Service 10/10 Servers are quick, efficient, and attentive. They brought extra bowls and without being asked, brought serving spoons and scissors to cut the noodles with. I have a fish/seafood allergy and I appreciate them taking it seriously and letting me know which foods they recommended I stay away from although they did not know for certain. I wish they knew which dishes had fish/seafood so I knew for sure what was allergy safe, but I understand that it's impossible to know the ingredients of every dish. Ambiance 8/10 I've been coming here since the pandemic days when they had outdoor seating and it's always very neat, clean, and pretty quiet as well. There is plenty of parking and lots of other dessert, drink, and food places nearby. Even though it's almost 90 degrees outside, I've been craving their Yuk Gae Jang and can't wait till my next visit!

Thought we had lucked out but honestly, everyone working here is super efficient and vigilant. Ordered the stir fried pork belly, corn cheese pancake, and rose tteokbokki. Corn pancake was HUGE like a large pizza. Very thin but super gooey, actually couldn't get a grip on it with the tongs because it was falling apart. Ended up having a corn cheese pancake salad but it was still great. Rose tteokbokki was pretty weak in terms of flavor, friends that I came with agreed that the flavoring wasn't as strong as it usually was, and they're regulars here! Pork belly dish deserves its own paragraph. I mean... holy. The perfect mix of salt on the juicy, fatty (and generous!) pork belly slices, the slightly sweet and sour kimchi, and soft, roasted garlic. If you're getting one thing on the menu, let it be this! Had a muscat iced drink to share for the table, we subbed out maekgeolli for milk for a nonalcoholic option. They also offered yogurt as a substitute! Very strong on the muscat flavor and so refreshing. Overall, we were in and out in about 30 minutes. I didn't even see them pick up or give back the credit card, that's how fast they move. Will be back!

The meal starts with what feels like an endless lineup of little side dishes, a fried fish, rice in a scorching hot stone bowl, and then the bubbling tofu soup (medium spice for me) arrives like it's angry at the table. I ordered the bulgogi combo (C2) and everything was flavorful, comforting, and honestly just fun to eat. OK maybe a few too many onions for me. The stone pot rice situation was an adventure on its own. They ask you if you want them to pour hot water into the bowl to loosen the crispy rice stuck to the sides. I tried it. Felt very authentic. Still not fully convinced my rookie self handled it correctly, but we survived. What I liked most was the atmosphere and adventure. You can tell this place has a loyal following and there's a reason Yelp absolutely loves it. It feels authentic without being intimidating, and the portions are no joke. I took home enough leftovers for round two the next day. If you've only done Korean BBQ before, this is a completely different experience and definitely worth trying. Bring friends, come hungry, and don't be afraid to look a little confused your first time. Apparently that's part of the experience. Easy 5 stars for me. P. S.
