Crispy Cloud — Restaurant in New York

4.5 stars. This fast casual restaurant was recently featured in a local newspaper, so I decided to check them out. Crispy Cloud offers customizable bibimbap, acai bowls, smoothies, Taiyaki, Korean toasts, sandwiches and Croffles.

I love the customizable approach to bibimbaps which is rare for most Korean restaurants. You get to choose the grain (white or multigrain rice), protein (there are 5 to choose from), veggies, toppings, and sauces. The bibimbap here is served cold and not the blisteringly hot stone pot version. In fact, the only thing hot (temperature wise) was the fried egg on top. I’ve had both versions of bibimbap, and my preference is usually the hot serving but I still thoroughly enjoyed the ones here. The gochujang (red chilli paste) they used had just the right amount of heat with slight sweet undertones which I loved. It really helped to perk up the dish.

We also tried their Create-your-own acai bowl. I got a small 12 oz acai bowl, and it came with unlimited toppings. I got mine with strawberries, bananas, walnuts, and granola crumble. The acai itself was delicious and had the consistency of frozen ice cream (vs. soft serve). All of the fruit was fresh, and the granola crumble was slightly sweet.

And for dessert, we got 2 Taiyakis with Nutella filling. It was so delicious, freshly made and piping hot. My only complaint is that I wished they had put more Nutella filling, but I think for most people it would be fine.

Overall, it was a really great first visit. We enjoyed everything we ordered and will be back to try their Korean toast...

It said "Grand Opening" wanted to try it. The employee is very polite to the customers. I decided to buy I bought 10 piece wings with soy garlic and spicy. I kept looking at the TV screen how they were grilling it so I bought half chicken mild too. I bought fries too but I wish they use different fries. All the chicken was on point well grilled and fried, it was very juicy and tender. The sauce was actually really good. I recommend to try it although everyones taste is different but try it. The employee said they will have more different menus soon and...

Very nice atmosphere. First time coming after hearing about it for a while. The place was empty a little after lunch service. I ordered their sweet grilled chicken and fried chicken wings. I would say the fried chicken wings were crispy and juicy at the same time. I should of tried another sauce on the grilled chicken which was slathered in sweet sauce which I couldn't fully enjoy the flavor of grilled chicken itself. You get some radish and a small salad to balance out the heat with...
