Asian spot in downtown Boston that's known for its fried chicken. It was near my hotel and my daughter eats here often so I had to try it. The fried chicken is as good as advertised and the Asian cuisine is also very good. This was my first time having Buffalo drumsticks but I don't want it to be my last.

I had time to kill before my tutoring session, about three hours, and this place helped me achieve that very end.
Firstly, I should say that I recommend getting one of the Japanese beers on draught. As far as the drinks menu is concerned, it will give you the best value and the beers are quite good. Otherwise, you end up paying just as much for a can of boring domestic beer.
I arrived early enough to get the lunch specials and chose to get the Dolsot Bibimbap for old time sake. It's the best egg I've ever seen on top, fully-cooked and well-textured. It was the hottest rice bowl I've ever seen, and with the right amount of gochujang inside and outside the bowl, the heat let me heat slower than usual, taking sips between bites hot enough to finish off the polar ice caps.
The service was good. Of course, it wasn't exactly primetime for the waitstaff with just two-three sets of customers in there. If not for the fact that there are so many good restaurants around there, I am liable to come back and try the fried chicken and other dishes, including Sushi.
Get the hotate hokkaiyaki! Get the hotate hokkaiyaki! Get the hotate hokkaiyaki! It’s sooooo good!!! You won’t regret it! I also got the angry spicy garlic boneless fried chicken, and it was mehhh. Nothing outstanding. It probably would taste better as wings or drumsticks. Don’t get boneless like I did. Also ordered the rabokki, and it was hugeeee! Very good too! I recommend getting that and splitting it with at least two people because the portion was a lot
We went to Crave on Sunday around 5 pm. It was not busy as we were early before the standard dinner time. We ordered 3 dishes; Korean fried chicken, spicy pork bulgogi, and topkoki. On drinks, we ordered hot sake. It was enough for two people. The food was good, and the portions were generous. We didn't even touch the spicy pork bulgogi as we were full, so we had to bring it home! I would definitely revisit this place and explore more of its menu! Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would highly recommend it!
I liked the flavor of my soy garlic boneless wings! Just a good amount of crispy. It didn’t feel fattening either.
We went around 3 PM on a Wednesday so it was quiet and almost nobody there.
I love this place, it's my Chinatown go-to! Truffle fries are absolutely amazing, atmosphere is chill, there's always something else I want to try on the menu. The "turn up" shots are also wicked good. Easy to take and yummy!
I would say this is easily the best lounge / bar in the area. With lots of great food and atmosphere. Perfect for dates, group, or drinks with your co-workers. Their chicken wings are amazing and unique but I feel like I am not doing the restaurant justice if I only write about that which they are known for.
Whenever I come here, I always HAVE to get the tuna dumplings (they also have salmon version too!) and they have a number of dishes that I like that I rotate depending on my mood. Their truffle fries are good (i like the side of sauce they provide).
I usually also order their kimchi fried rice. They also have a variety of salads that I like, one in which includes "The Amazing Salmon Salad" and "Spicy Crab Avocado Salad" are among my favorites.
Food was amazing, the chicken was delicious and crispy best I ever had. The sauces were good and spicy.
I had a good time there. They didn't really have vegan options, so that was a bummer. I had vegetable fried rice, and avocado sushi. Fries were made in the same oil as chicken so I couldn't have them. Staff was very kind!
Pros: Flavorful food. This is comparable to the Korean chicken I had in Korea, which I missed so much since leaving. The wings were crispy and just the right sweetness. The deotbokki was sweet and cooked in the perfect texture. I have too often had the rice cakes overcooked or undercooked at a Korean restaurant, but this place has it spot on. This is a great choice for those who haven't had Korean and would like to try. I guarantee you'll find something you like here.
Cons: This is not really a con, but if do not know this, you will regret not knowing before going: Order the wings first as you browse through the menu. It takes them a while to prepare them as they batter and fry them fresh in the kitchen. As soon as they come out, they are hot and delicious while you wait for your other food. Be careful not to burn yourself!
