We go here at least once a week. They have the BEST BEST chicken sandwich. We have tried other famous chicken joints but this is the BEST!! The fried pork ribs are to die for which includes polenta. It is so flavorful with each bite. The meat falls off the bone. The omelet is beautifully presented which includes an out-of-this- world sauce -- the BEST omelet ever!! We cannot forget the salmon with this incredible sauce! I always end up licking the plate. It is so delicious. The bulgogi tacos are amazing! They are so flavorful. I love this place! We threw my mom's 85th birthday at this place (before the pandemic started). Everyone loved what they ordered. Once the quarantine orders are lifted, I am hoping to throw a karaoke party there!! Mike and his staff are super nice people. The restaurant is extremely clean. I wish Guy Fieri would stop by and visit -- it would be nice to have Hungry Crowd on Drive Thru, Diners and Dive!! read more

We love Hungry Crowd so much. Great food and great service.

Such great food and awesome service! Loved it and will definitely be back. Delish. Get the bibimbap and the kimchee! Fresh and tasty.

Got a take out order of the cream pesto pasta dish, with salmon. Excellent. Great , friendly service.

Found this place on the fly & I was extremely happy I did! The food was great! If trying to describe it, I would say it's an Asian-American fusion breakfast. We had the Kimchee Fried Rice, French Toast, Loco Moco & Breakfast Burrito. The Breakfast Burrito wasn't particularly our favorite but the rest of the food made up for it. This place is definitely on our "go back-to" list. The service was great, ambiance was quaint & I can't wait to explore their menu more. read more

Great atmosphere and extremely kind staff. I would highly recommend this place. Not one ounce of pretension.

We had a very good first experience here and will be back. Pros: + The fried pork ribs are fantastic. Perfect texture, meaty, with a flavorful sauce and lots of meat on the bones. Probably the #2 best ribs we've tried. + The bulgogi tacos are very flavorful and surprisingly spicy. + Service was very good. Drinks were routinely refilled, staff was able to split checks correctly the first time without any mistakes, and server was knowledgeable about all the menu items we asked about. He also knew ingredients in the different items which was helpful for someone with food allergies. + Restroom was well stocked and very clean. + There is something on the menu for everyone - entrees incorporate Italian, vegan, Korean, Filipino flavors Neutral: - Shrimp ceviche and pork dumplings were passable but not particularly memorable. - Mango dessert was OK but the fresh mango they diced on top was a little under-ripe/green. Cons: - Restrooms are small and only allow one person at a time so if you have to go and it's occupied you may have to wait a while. - Parking can be a challenge. read more

Delicious salads with salmon, fried chicken sandwich and French fries were excellent! Would definitely order from here again! read more

If you're wondering about the name Hungry Crowd I think I've solved the mystery. The crowd is hungry for 2 reasons: 1. The service is so slow. It took 15 minutes for someone to come to the table after we were seated. Then about 20 minutes for our appetizer to come out. 2. Stingy portions. For $12 a breakfast burrito shouldn't be a small tortilla full of mediocrity served solo on a plate. No side. No garnish. Just a skinny little burrito. The people were friendly. The atmosphere is fine, though not great. But all-in-all I recommend taking your crowd elsewhere. read more

Our first time here. Food was very flavorful. Atmosphere was welcoming. Staff was very nice and attentive.

Good food. Good service. Great spot! We had a lovely experience with friends. We had the glass noodles. Highly recommend it!

Just ate here for the first time. Had brunch with roasted potatoes and a delicious dipping sauce. Great food great host (my dog loved the water and multiple treats) and a very nice friendly vibe. What more could you ask for read more

This breakfast burrito may very well be the best in Los Angeles. Everything I've eaten at Hungry Crowd is always delicious and it's become one of my new favorite places to have brunch. The staff is also always very friendly and courteous. read more

Hungry Crowd - Breakfast Burrito - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Awesome place! The ppl are so nice and the food is excellent! The ppl that work here are very very friendly. I think they are the owners but I'm not sure as I didn't ask. Either way they deserve all the credit in the world for making this place inviting and worth making a regular hang. They have great salads and my friends say the burger is the best they've ever had. This is a fantastic lunch spot in Toluca Lake. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Always absolutey delicious! The Bibimbap and the kimchi biscuits are amazing. Very generous mimosas too.

Stumbled upon this place with my girlfriend last weekend. Parking was tricky but we later found out that there are some designated spots in the back. The patio had a nice feel to it but you can't enjoy drinks outside so we opted to sit inside. We were greeted by friendly staff who remained very attentive to our needs throughout the evening. The soft shell crab sandwich we ordered was exquisite but the highlight dish were the bulgogi tacos! Can't complain about beer prices here because I enjoyed a cold Stella for only $4 bucks and got to sample some brews on draft before making my final decision. Overall, a solid place to grab a bite as the food was tasty and service was great. Just across from Forman's Tavern! read more

This meal was nothing short of inspirational! The staff knew the answers to all my questions and had great recommendations! I tried everything our table ordered and loved everything (warning: the fried rice is a little spicy!) but my overall favorite was the Pasta with Crab Meat and Rosé sauce! I was curious what the flavors would be like but it was just so flavorful and tasty! I want to go back to try everything on the menu - I think it's going to be my regular spot anytime I visit LA! Love love lov read more

Food is amazing and the service is impeccable! Love this restaurant!! Make sure you try the pork ribs, kimchi fried rice, mac and cheese, and bulgogi tacos! read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant! With Covid this is the only place I feel comfortable eating at. Michael follows all the protocols to ensure his customers are safe. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal..... love, love, love the Rosé pasta, chicken sliders, Mac n cheese and dirty fries. They have a great happy hour menu and brunch menu. Michael and his staff are wonderful and always efficient and happy. I highly recommend! read more

I came to hungry crowd for brunch on a Saturday and there was no wait to get a table and we hardly had to wait for our food. FOOD: We ordered the french toast and kimchee fried rice and shared for a nice salty/sweet flavor combo. -french toast- The french toast was good, but we wish there was more syrup on them! The toast also came with a delicious green tea whipped cream which was delicious and refreshing. It came with about two slices of bread and berries as well! -kimchee fried rice- Very nice presentation since it came in a cute little skillet. The flavor was good and the kimchee a bit sour but I still very much enjoyed it, and so did my friend! CONCLUSION: If you're impatient to wait for the line at Bea Beas, check this place out, skip the line, and have a great brunch! read more

First impressions last and every course was legit. We had the kimchi biscuits to start, I had the fried chicken sandwich with coleslaw and pickled onions, my coworkers had the Bibimbap and the Bulgogi tacos and loved it. Service was friendly too! And the desserts were solid, Mango Sorbet, Chocolate with Berries and a caramel ice cream with bananas. And they have $2 Taco Tuesdays (and $2 PBR if you're into that sorta thing). It's easy to miss when driving down Riverside but it's across the street from Malbec. read more

Went for the first time for lunch during the week with my mom. Delicious! We got the pork tacos which were on special three for six dollars. The beef tacos also on special for six dollars. And, the Cajun shrimp tacos which were three for nine dollars. We also got the macaroni and cheese. Everything was absolutely delicious! A little on the spicy side - so bring a Kleenex. Just went back 11/2018. Wished it had been Taco Tuesday, because it would've been half the price. But the food was delicious and beautiful as usual. And as always, great and friendly service! read more

Such a cute restaurant on a very cute street! The food was really good! They have a wide selection to choose from so anyone can eat here. My favorite thing about eating here was the man serving us. He was very attentive and sweet, he wanted us to leave happy and full. We need more servers like him! I got the greens bowl with bolgogi, it was very yummy! read more

I've been frequenting Hungry Crowd since its early days and even more so in the last year and a half. Michael and his staff are a pleasure - always friendly and attentive. The food never fails. Consistency is a big deal to me and they certainly have that down. It goes without saying that this pandemic has been difficult but they've shown the sort of adapting I've witnessed many small businesses exhibit and it's applause worthy. With that being said, don't miss out on their mimosas (boozy and delicious), the pretzel bread their scrumptious breakfast sandwich comes with is mouth watering and the French fries are just a few of my favorite things! My go to is the taco salad with shrimp - filling and yummy! I come hungry and I leave happy! read more

I had my bday lunch here! We ordered the following: 1. white kimchi clams pasta 2. purple yam croquet 3. ceviche 4. spicy pork taco everything was a 5 star! I loved all the fusion dishes! pricing is totally reasonable! I wish its closer to my house so I can go more often! read more

good news: the wait staff is really amazing. Our waiter was so friendly and just the right amount of attentive without being overbearing. the design of this place is also very cool - definitely has the brunch feel. prices are very decent and there is no long wait. bad news: the food portions are small. I feel like it would be nice if it was specified either on the menu or by the wait staff. also, the food is very very average. it LOOKS amazing but the taste of multiple items were just lacking flavor. French toast is very dry. the BLT sandwich came out very soggy, the hashbrowns has a burnt taste to them, and the coffee was extremely watered down. would definitely come back for drinks and ambiance. just not the food. read more

Excellent!! Their breakfast bulgogi burrito is my go to here - super, scrumptious and delicious with lots of flavor. My husband loves the chicken and waffles- pure yumminess! The staff is always welcoming and very attentive. I know they have Taco Tuesdays which I have yet to check out but definitely look forward it in the near future. read more

Staff here is so friendly We're a big fan of the Kimchi biscuits and the ox tail Definitely a gem a Toluca Lake read more

Found this place on yelp a few years ago and I have literally gone once a week since. They have a variety of great options that are unique and delicious. The chicken wings are my absolute FAVORITE. My partner loves the shrimp tacos. Honorable mention to the MacNCheese with cauliflower, the dumplings, and the kimchi biscuit. The people who work there are really lovely and have gotten to know me and what I like to order. Super cute outdoor patio area. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good eat. read more

Kimchi fried rice with Sunny side up egg so yummy! My hubby got the steak burrito and loved it - we were so surprised the place was not packed, for such delicious food that's what we'd expect! read more

The kimchi biscuits are definitely the star of the show here. Great texture and flavor. $5.00 for two. "A" & I got here around 11am on a sunny, but cool, Saturday morning. There was only one other table occupied when we got there, but about 7 or 8 more tables by the time we left. We started with the kimchi biscuits and share the breakfast burrito and chicken and waffles. The chicken was super crispy and not dry. The waffles come with a Texas butter - powdered sugar, honey, cinnamon & butter - which was quite tasty. Price for two with no drinks plus tax/tip was about $36.00. read more

Spectacular food and service. Best place for an amazing food in Toluca lake. We visit from east coast and eat here here often as the ambience and staff is so friendly. Michael is such a great owner and makes everyone feel so welcome. The menu offers so many options including vegan options. read more

I'll definitely be back because the brunch looks amazing!! My first visit was for dinner, and the food was extremely tasty although incredibly expensive. Avoid the scallops because they're not that good and they're $17 for like 3 tiny scallops with a couple halved brussels on there, a total waste. GET THE RIBS. They blew my mind. Dumplings, not good. Salmon carpaccio was great but extremely small portions. Cucumber lemonade is really good, mix with shamps for a tasty treat. read more

Two of us grabbed lunch here during work and were so pleasantly surprised by how great everything tasted! It's so nice to have a GOOD Korean fusion restaurant in our area. We ordered the kimchi bacon biscuits, white kimchi clam pasta, and bibimbap. The biscuits were so unique and yummy, I say that's a must. The pasta was surprising, interesting, and really good! We were hesitant because it was kimchi but the flavors actually married really well. It was such a fun dish! The bibimbap was pretty standard but still yummy. Service was great - they checked on us a lot and offered recommendations. Pricier than your standard lunch but it was worth it for me for what we got. Looks like a place that would be good for groups and for a date, but isn't super romantic or intimidating. Only wish they had parking since it's tough to find street parking in Toluca Lake during the week. They serve alcohol so I wonder if a Happy Hour menu is on the horizon! read more

This place is fantastic and I'm so sad we can't go there in person for the time being but will continue to support them by ordering take-out whenever I can! The service has always been phenomenal here. I love their kimchi fried rice and any of their fried chicken dishes! An excellent version of Korean/American fusion cuisine. read more

Amazing food! Really good burgers. Must try Kimchi fried rice!. So delicious. Mimosas are very generous.

I have been here three times now and have never been disappointed! I still have things on the menu I'm dying to try. Great service, tapas style food and a casual but up-scale atmosphere. We LOVED the shrimp ceviche and beef stuffed eggplant tonight. So so good. read more

Hungry Crowd - Shrimp ceviche and beef stuffed fried eggplant.. amazing!! - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came here around 12:30pm on a Monday as I was in the area coming from Universal Studios as it was very close. I was impressed with the amount of entrees on the menu. I ordered the cobb salad which consisted of romaine lettuce, avocado, bacon, tomato, chicken breast, boiled egg and blue cheese buttermilk dressing. It was perfect! Food was great and serve was prompt as the food came out fast. read more

Hungry Crowd was an absolutely amazing experience in a completely different way then I generally rate first-time restaurants. Generally, I may find something I nitpick or might not enjoy but with it being my first time, I would give them the benefit of the doubt as you never know what they may be like on other days. That being said, I'm sold on the entirety that is Hungry Crowd. The menu was a solid 5/5 for me, having enough Korean influences to throw a positive spin on the cuisine, yet has enough balance to give you the best of the fusion. With options ranging from a very well executed Kimchi Fried Rice and ambitious White Kimchi Pasta to the classic risotto and ciopinno, it is a very inspiring selection that truly aims to satisfy. The service was also very pleasant in that they show every ounce of effort and passion that is built into the foundation of the new small business. Servers are never obligated to go that extra mile, especially with how fickle and hard to please we, as the clientele, can be. This is different. They offered wine samples to assure any doubts we may have had in regards to our selection, and genuinely wanted us to enjoy our experience there. That is the only thing I find to matter when it comes to service as knowing just how much thought and care was put into satisfying a few people you may never see again truly amazes me. The review was really long, but in short, Hungry Crowd definitely knows how to show they want you to be a part of their crowd. PS. Banana dulce gelato. Get it. read more

This place is so tasty! Everything was fresh, the presentation was wonderful, the service is amazing, and it's not expensive. The only problem was that they had way too many delicious looking things on the menu to choose from and we can only eat so much. We are definitely going back here. read more
