    This is a spot I would like to revisit. Overall a really nice experience. Food: -Galbi Burger ($17): 5/5; easily one of the best burgers I've had. I wasn't expecting it to taste this good. The buns were soft, and the patty was big, juicy, and packed with sweet-and-savory flavor. - 3 Cajun Jumbo Shrimp Tacos ($15.5): 4/5; each taco comes with two shrimps. The shrimp is fresh, juicy, and full of flavor. That said, there's loads of shredded lettuce and tomato bits and doesn't add much to the overall flavor. - White Kimchi Clam Pasta ($24): 2/5 I was disappointed. Portion was small, and the soup was bland. Only the clam and kimchi had flavor.

    Came here with a bunch of friends for dinner. We decided to order one dish each or so and share everything. All of the food was really good. Nothing really stood out because all of the food all stood out. Flavors were phenomenal. Service was fantastic. Place was clean with ample seating. I would love if they opened up a location in Northern California.

    Another meal was had. Obviously it's also a simple yes whenever brunch arises. It's our go to for an easy decision and to top it off, the food and mimosas makes it even better. It's basically coming to see friends who have become somewhat of family. Michael, Justin and Ann all have hearts of gold. Seeing their faces whenever we come alway makes the experience better. They've taken care of us for years now and each time it's alway amazing. The friendly smile, the welcoming, catching up and just the usual chit chat. That makes a places worth coming too as it's more relax when the staff knows their patrons. And it looks that way with a lot of customers. You know it's a good place when it's all the regulars. Anyways, the food is alway amazing. Every meal has alway been a hit for us. I have my regular which there's no point in looking at the menu as they already know...lol... But besides the food which they have loads of amazing dishes, the mimosas. Also the kimchi biscuits is a must with the honey butter. The favorite of course, the honey fried chicken meal with Cole slaws. Nice juicy meal and the crunch level is great. Drizzle with honey, the extra touch. Each order has alway been amazing. We also had the smoked salmon avocado toast with a side salad. That's another regular dish that's alway been a hit. But the main reason, the mimosas. Not in your regular champagne flutes but in pint glass. Let's just say we normally could do 2 and that's enough. For the price, it's well worth it. Food has alway been great. The restaurant itself is cute. Not overly big but decent. Nice patio seating along the sidewalk and two tables on the main patio. Inside, there's a communal hi top table right in the middle with a good amount of tables on both side. Michael, Justin and Ann are the sweetest. They're basically family now and will take of everyone. Hence we alway come back for more.

    Had a dinner with friends here everyone absolutely loved their dishes! Servers were attentive and helpful and the place was cute. My soft shell crab rose pasta was fantastic my husband lovedddd his Bibimbap. Definitely want to come back for brunch!!

    Galbi Burger
    Dylan D.

    We crave this place during our visits to LA! We've gone to this restaurant two times now and both times were an absolute hit. Location is on a Broadway with several store fronts including Hungry Crowd, on the street. Parking can be a little tough since it's street parking. We had to go and park in a close neighborhood which looked really nice and had some cool Christmas lights up. The restaurants itself is fairly small (and the bathroom even smaller, practically kissing the wall with my knees) but the service is always fantastic. We came around 5pm when they opened in the evening and there was no wait and we got seated promptly. The place filled up rather quickly but it didn't slow down how fast our service was since the owners and other employees took our order and proceeded to check up on us as we ate our food. I usually like to get their breakfast menu, (such as their Kimichi Biscuits or their Breakfast Burrito) but since we arrived later in the day we ordered the Mac and Cheese, Galbi Burger, Risotto, and the Truffle Honey Fried Chicken. All were excellent and tasted great. During our first visit we had a really good interaction with the owners but didn't really speak to them too much this time around since they seemed to be busy and were probably winding down for the Christmas break. We will most definitely be back again when we travel to LA in the future!

    Kimchi Biscuit
    Randy S.

    A different spin on Korean flavors infused with American style dishes. The hanger steak was juicy and grilled perfectly to medium. The galbi kabob was well marinated and not too sweet which I like--very unique for a kabob, I recommend it. The kimchi biscuit didnt taste much like kimchi to me; just reminded me of your typical biscuit. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Pretty good entrees though, would love to come back and try more.

    Bulgogi Taco
    Sandy G.

    This is a nice Korean fusion restaurant right in Toluca Lake. There wasn't really a crowd during lunch time on a Tuesday but parking can be a bit tough to find. Service was great. Our server was friendly and regularly checked in with us. As for the food, there were so many items I wanted to try off their menu but I ended up ordering their Korean Bulgogi Taco and Bibibamp with hot stone this time. Both were solid 5/5s. I'll definitely be coming back here to try the other items in their menu that caught my eye like the japchae and loco moco. Note: On Tuesdays, they have a special on their tacos. You can get singular tacos at a discount #TacoTuesday. They also have happy hour Tue-Thu from 5-6:30pm.

    Everything we tried was delicious!!! The service was the best everyone there was so helpful and kept checking in on us. They are dog friendly with cute tables outside.

    Garlic Edamame
    Joe G.

    What a nice, delicious discovery! While there's a lot of choices on on Riverside Dr in Studio City, Hungry Crowd is one of the more interesting, unique restaurants there. A blend of mostly Korean and American cuisine, you get the classic dishes like Bibimbap, as well as fusion twists like Kimchi Biscuit and Eggs Benedict with Bulgogi. Sadly, I forgot to take a photo of the Kimchi Biscuit, but I have to say that this shareable appetizer is a must have and my favorite fish that we had! It's a surprisingly complex blend of that Kimchi pickled tartness and sweetness from the cinnamon butter, along with some savoriness from the bacon and cheddar. It almost sounds like it shouldn't work, but it's nonetheless delicious! The Eggs Benedict is also a very nice blend of Eastern and Western flavors that work together rather than compete with each other. The Garlic Edamame with Garlic soy is pretty solid but not as big of a wow factor as the other dishes. Lastly, the Bibimbap is pretty good, but I think it's the least memorable. I want to say that I have had better versions of the dish at a more traditional Korean restaurant, so if anything, I'd explore the more fusion side of the menu here at Hungry Crowd next time.

    Eggs Benedict
    Alec D.

    Easily the best restaurant in Toluca Lake. I've been here for brunch and dinner several times and have always left satisfied. The blend of Korean and Americans is addicting, I've never had anything like it before. The absolute highlight for me is their gravy. Whether on the Loco Moco or their Kimchi Biscuits, I cannot get enough. The Kimchi Fried Rice is excellent as well. When I'm looking for something healthy, the Bibimbap in the hot stone bowl is amazing. I love how the rice gets toasted at the bottom of the bowl. The service is always friendly and I've never had a problem getting seated. I love sitting outside on their patio and people watching when the weather is nice.

    Hungry Crowd is a new fave spot for us! The environment alone is cozy and sweet. A place to lounge and catch up with friends. The food was excellent, from the Loco Moco to the Kimchi fried rice and the Japche with Bulgogi! Serving size was perfect for two or one. The Japche was light but fulfilling. A great blend of sweet and savory. We will definitely be coming back for more!

    Been wanting to check this place out for awhile and it did not disappoint! Service was swift and they regularly checked on us with a smile. The kimchi biscuit is a must try and the gravy is addicting! Loco moco was delicious with the same gravy as the kimchi biscuit which was a perfect addition. Steak was charred and cooked perfectly to medium rare/medium as ordered. The side of greens had an amazing lemony dressing and the chimichurri was great with the char of the steak. Full pint of mimosa yay! Definitely go try it!

    Food 5/5: LET ME JUST SAY IT ONCE AND FOR ALL: The best mac n cheese ever wow! Pasta, wow, burger, wow. Enough said! Service 5/5: so fast and so good. Wow. Ambiance 5/5: outside and inside seatings. I highly recommend!!!

    Well, I don't know the answer! But it's well worth a phone call. The food is delicious and the service is on point. I highly recommend!

    Hows the food?

    Food was really good especially the Cajun shrimp tacos. Very fresh, plump and well seasoned. A lot of really interesting dishes. The chicken sandwich was good but the shrimp tacos are my favorite so far.

    Worthy of a Michelin! Exceptional!…read more To say that this was one of the best experiences in thai food for a well traveled man like me, would not be an exaggeration! The duck curry is dense and intense with Japanese yam, a combination I've never seen before (order the curry medium spicey+). the chicken satay appetizer is double the size of what you're used to, & done to perfection. Shrimp pineapple fried rice made the perfect sweet and spicy dish. The pad se ew was done to perfection.... and we topped it all off with an Ube brulee (not exactly brulé'd but silky smooth experience all the same). Haven't taken such a long 2 hour nap on a Sunday afternoon in decades.

    A True Authentic Gem in the Valley! Rustic Spoon in Valley…read moreVillage is honestly one of the few places in the North Hollywood/Valley area that serves truly good, authentic Thai food. There is actually another Thai place right next door, but there is no comparison--Rustic Spoon completely stands out because their food is incredibly flavorful, delicious, and well-made. We began with glasses of Prosecco, which were beautifully bubbly and refreshing. Shrimp Fresh Rolls: These rice paper rolls were stuffed with crisp lettuce, mint, and basil, and served with a sweet peanut sauce. It was a wonderful blend of fresh herbs and juicy shrimp, and the sauce was so good I actually ordered a second portion of it! Green Curry Filei Mignon: The curry sauce was rich, a little on the watery side and packed with flavor, featuring bamboo, green beans, and chunks of pumpkin (which was a unique and delicious touch). It came with a side of must-have white rice. Shrimp Pad Thai: Perfectly saucy, flavorful, and very well-made. My Only Critique: I specifically asked for the filet mignon to be medium-rare. Because the meat was served directly inside the boiling hot curry sauce, it continued to cook and ended up a bit more well-done than I preferred. I would have loved it if the steak was served separately so it stayed at that perfect medium-rare, but the flavor was still excellent.Our total came out to around $88 including tip. Honestly, for a great dinner for two nowadays, $70 to $80 is the average, so the pricing is very fair for the quality you get. Atmosphere & Service The service here is wonderfully kind and polite. Our host was attentive, friendly, always smiling, and happy to help. Inside, the ambiance is very calm and quiet with nice light music playing, beautiful fresh flowers on each table, and a space filled with light conversation and laughter.Final Verdict It is not easy to find a really good Thai place around here, and Rustic Spoon nails it. I will definitely be returning to try their other curries~~~

According to other reviews that I have read earlier today, the restaurant is under new management/ownership. Walked in today around 4:45pm and got a very nice, warm welcome from Alex - the owner himself. He told me to have a seat anywhere that I wanted, so I did. Alex himself took my order and the food came out pretty quickly and fast. I was very hungry so I got 2 main entrées and their regular small salad with peanut dressing. Ordered their Pad See Ew with beef & shrimp that also came with well cooked broccoli. I also got their crab fried rice and stayed with my water. Both entrees were cooked really well and were hot & tasty. My only complaint was that the beef was a bit overcooked and hard to chew. A lot of to-go orders and delivery/pick up by 3rd parties. Place was SPOTLESS CLEAN, including their gender neutral restroom. They also had nice decor all around. I really enjoyed my lunch and the portions being HUGE, took the rest home for my son to eat.
