I'm new to the area and tried Hungry Crowd for the first time recently for a Saturday dinner - fantastic experience, would highly recommend!
I ordered the 2 Beef Sliders and the White Kimchi Clam Pasta (I should say up front, I PROMISE the photos I've included don't do the meals justice - the pasta is not nearly as small as it looks & the amount of clams included was very generous; I found the pasta and one of the sliders to be very filling!).
The Sliders were fantastic, quite genuinely one of the best burger flavors I've had. Mildly spicy, but not overly so, and perfectly cooked beef.
The White Kimchi Clam Pasta was also fantastic. I don't have the vocabulary to properly review food, but the overall balance of flavors was excellent and it was a lovely & filling dish.
Service staff was lovely and perfectly accommodating, though admittedly the place wasn't too busy yet at the time I was there.
While it's a comfortable venue with a classy but casual dining feel, the food feels very gourmet and artisanal. For the level of food you're getting, the price is surprisingly reasonable. Certainly not cheap - cost is commensurate with other places in the area - but for the dining experience it's absolutely worth the cost.
I could not recommend visiting Hungry Crowd more. I'll certainly be returning and hopefully making my way through more...
Read moreIf I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I stumbled upon this hidden gem in Burbank a few months ago when looking for a local brunch place to go to. I called and made a reservation which was extremely quick and painless. Upon arriving, we were greeted with big smiles and fantastic service. I chose the Kimchi Fried Rice (probably my favorite dish so far). The food was served on a hot plate and was so incredibly delicious. I knew I had to come back.
Since that day, I have returned at least twice a month with my friends and husband and we have tried a variety of food options from the menu and can attest that EVERYTHING is phenomenal and fresh. (We've all tried bibimbap, eggs benedict, kimchi fried rice, chocolate gelato, dirty fries with bulgogi, and the breakfast sandwich) Their IPA is also really great, and I'm not a huge IPA drinker. Also, their bottomless mimosas are what you actually want them to be vs what you get at most brunch places. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the patio/outdoor area is dog friendly. They even have water bowls outside for them.
I still can't decide if the food or the service is my favorite thing about this place! This is the kind of place that you need to go to in person for the best experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone and EVERYONE! Go try it now!! What are you...
Read moreAmazing food! Lots of Korean-inspired dishes, but with an American twist. They have a lovely outdoor dining area and are available for takeout as well. I’ve eaten here a few times, mostly after church, with my choir. You cannot go wrong with the food choices here.
The last thing I ate was the honey truffle fried chicken and slaw. It was sooo delicious! If you’ve ever had Korean fried chicken wings, the skin is consistent with that, but had honey and white truffle flavor. The slaw was also very good. I’m not usually a fan of slaw, but this one had a really balanced flavor. My husband had the ribs and polenta. The ribs had an Asian flavoring to it and it was fall off the bone scrumptious. The polenta was creamy and the flavor subdued, which complemented the explosion of flavor of the ribs.
I definitely recommend this place! Also, help a local...
