A blend of mostly Korean and American cuisine, you get the classic dishes like Bibimbap, as well as fusion twists like Kimchi Biscuit and Eggs Benedict with Bulgogi.
Sadly, I forgot to take a photo of the Kimchi Biscuit, but I have to say that this shareable appetizer is a must have and my favorite fish that we had! It’s a surprisingly complex blend of that Kimchi pickled tartness and sweetness from the cinnamon butter, along with some savoriness from the bacon and cheddar. It almost sounds like it shouldn’t work, but it’s nonetheless delicious!
The Eggs Benedict is also a very nice blend of Eastern and Western flavors that work together rather than compete with each other.
The Garlic Edamame with Garlic soy is pretty solid but not as big of a wow factor as the other dishes.
Lastly, the Bibimbap is pretty good, but I think it’s the least memorable. I want to say that I have had better versions of the dish at a more traditional Korean restaurant, so if anything, I’d explore the more fusion side of the menu here at Hungry Crowd next time.
The salmon nachos and Japchae with bulgogi were good and easily shareable. Taco Tuesday tacos (choice of corn tortillas or lettuce wrapped) were pretty good, 4/5.
The desserts are actually made in house, gelato included! The Mango sorbet was really nice, perfect flavor with fresh mango on top. There was a cookie or something on the bottom, so just know to request it without it if you’re gluten free.
The banana dolce de leche gelato was , it caught me off guard! They put bruléed bananas on top for a really nice crunch and extra banana flavor. Highlyyy recommended.
Overall, I’ve had this place in mind to try for a while now so I had high expectations and I was happy with our experience. Don’t skip out on dessert, it was the best part! Gotta support the places making their own food and sauces!
I’ve been to Hungry Crowd a few times and I’ve genuinely enjoyed their food, especially the fresh and high quality vegetables. They prepare and cook their food well and the service is always great. They also have outdoor seating available on the street, but the inside is nicely decorated as well.
During my last visit, I ordered the tofu bibimbap in a hot stone. I realized afterwards that I made a mistake in not mixing together the bowl and moving things around immediately because all the brown rice at the bottom became burnt and dry. Please don’t make the same mistake I did. Also be aware that parking in this area is quite tricky, so give yourself ample time to look for street parking in the side streets.
The staff are attentive and friendly.

Menu is reasonably priced which adds to reason to come to this establishment
