    Indoor Dining area 3.15.25

    Review 29/365 challenge Came here for the 1st time with my mama friend Sue n kids for lunch after Buena Park mall 3.15.25 Located in a strip of food restaurants., Firehouse Subs What we ordered ~ Rib-Eye Steak plate. Marinated to perfection and oh was delicious. Tender meats. ~ half n half chicken w rib eye steak plate was a great option to have the best proteins in both worlds. The salad w an Asian dressing flavor was delicious along w the wontons Karol associate was really friendly, attentive and helpful. Received our plates in a timely manner. Restaurant is really spacious with lots of seatings indoor and outdoor, seat benches. Clean and welcoming environment. I'd definitely return.

    Steak and chicken family meal.

    Food service and patience. Answered my questions about total meat per order. I ended up getting the family meal. Had finished a gym session and a long walk. Refueling with steak, chicken and veggies. And rice. Music is not overbearing. Comfortable and chill. Thanks to this duo killing it on coordinating together, no fighting just smooth communication back n forth.

    Chicken bowl? Steak bowl? Can't decide? Get 'um both in a combo bowl. However you take your bowl, you won't go wrong. Not feeling the bowl today? Maybe tacos or a salad will do. You'll still get the delicious ingredients, just in a different presentation. Nice efficient, friendly service. Seating inside and out. Clean and priced right. Easy parking.

The meat was warm, seasoned, and amazing. The lime/lemon went extremely well with the tacos, making the tacos a 20 out of 10. It is worth any drive, no matter how long the drive may be, you NEED to drive here to try their food. I have been to Mexico multiple times and these tacos beat any taco I have ever have in my entire life. I forgot to mention, I wasn't even hungry and ate 7 delicious, amazing, flavorful tacos, a delicious refreshing sweet cold pineapple Agua Fresca, AND a lot of delicious crunchy salty warm chips dipped in amazing, spicy, tangy salsa. On top of this, I tried a delicious burrito which was better than any fast food restaurant around! They have multiple options for tacos, all of them being at least a 15 out of 10! Kudos to the chef!! The restaurant is owned by what looks like a mother and a son. The service is fast all while keeping the food tasting like a Michelin star restaurant! Honestly, being 100% honest, I would invite Gordon Ramsay and tbe Michelin star chefs to try this restaurant so more people can experience the joy of fuego cravings! The restaurant is located in the mall and provides a very calm and nice feeling. To conclude my review, I have a few key points I want to say again. I think fuego cravings should be a nationally recognized Michelin star restaurant, the food is a 100/10, and the service is amazing. Please please please come to fuego cravings for a great value delicious meal!!!!!!!

    This meal was an absolute feast. Before we even ordered, our…read moreserver brought out waters and a bowl of cabbage salad for the table. It's a small gesture, but it immediately made us feel welcomed. We decided to go with one of the combo meals, which came with boneless crispy fried chicken, cheese tteokbokki, and fried potstickers. We also added an order of corn cheese because... how could we not? The chicken lived up to the hype. Perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and coated in a sauce that had me licking my fingers without shame. The cheese tteokbokki was exactly what I was hoping for. Chewy rice cakes swimming in a rich, spicy, cheesy sauce that kept me coming back for another bite. The corn cheese deserves its own paragraph because wow... I understand why Korean restaurants serve this. Sweet corn covered in gooey melted cheese is one of those dishes that sounds simple but somehow disappears before you realize it. The fried potstickers rounded everything out nicely and added another crispy bite to the meal. And because apparently we hadn't eaten enough, we finished with Dippin' Dots for dessert. It was such a fun way to end the meal and brought back a little childhood nostalgia. Overall, the portions were generous, the food came out hot, and the whole spread looked as good as it tasted. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to whenever the Korean fried chicken craving hits.

My friend had to go ask again before they came and started to clear out a table for my group. I get that my group was slightly larger because there were 7 of us but saying that 2 hours before closing was slightly ridiculous. Ambiance was clean and standard for a Korean fried chicken restaurant. Now onto the food... chicken was good but not the best Korean fried chicken I've had. The fish cake soup was $25 for only three sticks of fish cake which is MUCH too overpriced for what it was. The taste was solid but also basic and felt like something I could make at home... not special. The chicken gizzard had a good texture and flavor which was nice. The tteokbokki wasn't chewy enough so we weren't that big of a fan. The fries were freshly fried and good but it's hard to mess up freshly fried fries. Overall food was solid but not the best.

We also tried the honey rap and mala one as well, both are very delicious. The mala one is very unique and quite spicy if you love spice. These wings are huge and juicy, packed with so much flavor. Sometimes I will be craving this even though I had it the previous week haha. It's that good. What's a must with these wings is the spicy carbonara tteokbokki. It's like a rose tteokbokki but more bacon forward flavor. Soooo delicious and addicting. Pairs very well with the crisp to perfection wings. Service is good and the vibes are great! Feels very retro and great spot to go with friends. I highly recommend this place if you love quality Korean fried chicken! 12/10 recommend :)

    This one was a tough one... I really wanted it to be 5/5 stars, but I think I'm sticking with 4/5…read morestars on this one. Let me elaborate. The restaurant itself is kind of small. When we got there at 5 pm, almost all the tables were already full. We were able to get the small table where you sit down on some cushions to eat. They have this unique seating area in the back by the bathroom near the kitchen. Check it out. We ordered the honey soy chicken plate with rice. They fry chicken thighs for that one and gave a decent amount of chicken. The sides were ok. Probably not my preference. We also got the 8 piece seaweed fried chicken and the honey soy chicken. The chicken here are big and moist. Very juicy and very good. The seaweed one is very unique and I really like that one. A lot of umami flavor. However, what made it a 4 star place for me was that the server never really checked up on us at all. Didn't come by to ask how things were or anything. Also, the price is quite high for what it is. $20 for 8 pieces of wings isn't cheap. The two items with tax and tip was over $40 and I think we all still left not quite full. Anyways, it was good trying it out, but might not be something I go to often.
