I am a bbq junkie, there aint no denying it. There is also no denying that this joint is NOT a bbq joint. This is a Korean joint that is freely using the word BBQ. And for those who have traveled away from Bako and know what proper Korean BBQ is, this aint it. This is the kind of joint where you walk in, order something and it will magically appear in a bowl of rice. The biggest difference between this place and other places is that A) this is cost more and B) this place seems to use fresher ingredients. I was hovering between three stars and four. Because this is a new joint and will hopefully prosper, I will give it the higher rating. The grub that I tried was decent enough and had good flavor. The staff was very polite and professional. The facility, although small, was very clean. I would recommend this joint to friends and family with the understanding that this is a new joint and the quality of grub and service may increase or decrease... Meh. read more

Working on the far east side of Bakersfield has become a little easier. Crazy BBQ offers a complete menus full of your favorite Korean BBQ classics. On my last visit I shared the beef bulgogi and a spicy pork ramen. I started the meal tasting the rice and beef, savoring every single bite. It's tender and sweet. I then moved onto the ramen and it definitely fulfilled my soup cravings. The taste was unlike any of the other ramens I've had, but it was delicious. To top it all off, the host was amazing. She was able to guide us with her suggestions and she even showed my girlfriend the proper way to eat the ramen. It was sweet. This place is definitely recommended. Provecho! And thank you Crazy BBQ for a wonderful time. See you again soon! read more

Kind of hard to tell if it's open, but I'm glad I went. Employee was very nice and gave us free edamame while we looked over the menu. The bulgolgi, chicken wings and kimchi fried rice was great and the servings fed three people with stuff leftover. The sweet potato fries are REALLY good! They're not super thin and we're crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. Food also came w a small side salad that was great! Definitely going back!! read more

First time for my wife & I eating here. Staff was very helpful explaining to us the various offerings as well as how best to enjoy our eating experience by mixing different flavors. I'm very happy to see yet another quality place to have a nice meal in East Bakersfield. Come on in and enjoy yourself! You're missing out if you don't! read more

Crazy BBQ - Korean Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Had read this spot was selling Korean BBQ. Not the kind that you grill at your table, more like sharable plates. I wasn't too hungry so I picked the Pork Bulgogi bowl. I thought it was a little overpriced for a "bowl" until I saw the Size of the order. 2 Full Meals in that bowl for sure! The Flavor was really good (I asked for it spicy). They made the food to order, but they were fast. And the lady (owner?) was Super Nice! She offered me free edamame and free salad while I waited. Very happy I found this spot on the East Side... read more

I love the staff, the attentiveness, and the menu. So far I haven't eaten while inside and the ramen I usually order gets a little soft once I take it home (which are the obvious downsides to takeout) but the moment I dine in I have high hopes to give this place a 5. Been coming back for over 3 years now. read more

Great place for Korean Bbq! The atmosphere is fun and provides an exciting place for a quick lunch, date night, or takeout. The food is excellent and very affordable. Portions are large and Crazy Bbq pays special attention to the spice! Definitely an Eastside Gem! read more

This place is amazing the service blew my mind. I have never been somewhere I was treated that nice I felt like family and I just met them. the food was so good so filling and tasty. She was so kind to my kid to helping me cool down his ramen so he could enjoy it better he gives it 10/10. This is a must try read more

Ok so it isnmy first time here. I came here with my wife (as is my custom) and immediately greeted and only one other person inside. I love these settings. Quicker service. I ordered the seafood ramen spicy, order of 6 crazy wings for an app and ny wife ordered the beef bulgogi bowl. We were given a small bowl of salted edamame. The restaurant is very clean and kept up. The decor is nice. Everything was spot on. Loved it and will definitely be back. read more

Definitely worth the drive across town. My coworker brought the Kimchi fried rice to work and it caught my eye. Right after work I drive to crazy bbq. I ordered the Kimchi fried rice, beef bulgogi, and the pork bulgogi. Everything was fresh! The food is excellent!!! read more

Nice family owned restaurant ! The food was really good- it was my first time trying kimchi and fish cakes and it was sooo good! Definitely will come again, thank you for the amazing service! read more

Some of the best chicken I've ever had. Was fantastic! The owners were super friendly and helpful. The crazy spicy chicken is the way to go. It is definitely not crazy spicy. A little sweet, the right amount of heat, and a good tang at the end. They have a few selections of Japanese beer as well. This time around I just got the crazy spicy chicken and the pork ribs. Both were really good but I strongly recommend the chicken. I've been here twice so far and I plan on coming back. read more

Highly disappointed! Used to love this place but definitely won't be returning. I understand inflation is affecting businesses but you can't go and raise the price on your menu items and lower your standards at the same time. I ordered 3 beef bulgogi bowls and they all were mostly rice and only a few pieces of beef. I should have checked my order in the store. read more

Crazy BBQ - Beef bulgogi all rice with a few pieces of meat - Korean Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I'm a huge Korean Fried Chicken (the real KFC) fan and have been since my medical school days in Washington, D.C. And L.A. has great places to get my KFC fix. So when I heard from colleagues about Crazy BBQ I had to check it out. I've now been twice, and I can honestly say: I'm hooked. I've had both their whole chicken and chicken wings, and I give the slight edge to the wings because you seem to get more sauce coverage. Both their spicy and soy flavors are great, but you should not dismiss their plain fried chicken as well: It's more reminiscent of southern fried chicken with the Korean crisp. Whole and half chicken orders come with pickled radish/daikon to add some acidity to the fattiness of the KFC. And the salad here has the best Korean dressing I've tasted. I would come here for the salad and dressing alone, as the spicy/briny dressing pairs so well with the KFC. My cousin ordered the kalbi (short ribs), and they're also tasty. And my sister raves about the vegetarian broth ramen. It's nice to have so much variety at a Korean restaurant here in town. This little gem on the Eastside is worth the trip for me. I can't wait to come back. read more

UPDATE: Me and the mans really wanted those rice cakes again, so we made the half hour trip. I'm updating my review from 3 to 4 stars because the in store experience was wonderful. They were so kind, complimentary edamame, and super fast service. My man LOVES the food here. As for me, I'm still upset with the ramen, as many others are... so I feel that if this place just took out the ramen and replaced the items or even just left it removed, they would have better reviews. Other than the ramen, the food here is superior. read more

It was my first time trying Crazy BBQ. We called in our order and it ready when got there. Everything was correct with our order and the staff was very friendly. The egg rolls and the potstickers are fantastic! Both were made fresh and had great flavor! The spicy chicken bowl is actually really spicy, so beware. The beef bowl was okay. I personally didn't really enjoy the flavor of either of the bowls. So for that reason I probably wont be a returning customer. But I would recommend people to give it a try. read more

I had a really good meal at the restaurant and after that I order from Uber eats this bulgogi bowl and was so good ! I had an really good beef and meal . read more

Absolutely love the place! The owner was kind enough to recommend different kinds of dishes. I went with a friend to try multiple dishes from the menu and it each of them were amazing! I even met some regulars who recommended the fried chicken, kimchi fried rice, and the gimbap. I'm definitely coming back again! read more

This place is a must try. Easily the best Korean food in Bakersfield. I was craving beef Bulgogi and spicy pork bibimbop and so I bought them here, the food came out quickly and is SO DELICIOUS. Their tofu skin and variety of kimchi is also wonderful. The service was top notch, I felt like I was welcomed in to their family. And the ambiance is adorable! The decor is very nice and I was able to watch a sporting event on TV while I waited for my to go order. To put the cherry on top, they were kind enough to make sure I had water and a little cracker while I waited there. I am absolutely coming back and will be bringing all my friends and family! Thank you crazy BBQ for such a wonderful experience!! read more

This place is delicious. My son and I enjoyed the boneless fried chicken (both sauces) and kimchi rice. Everything was cooked to perfection. Service was top notch. The cook came to our table to prep and plate our rice. She was delighted that we enjoyed everything. The place is small and the decor is pleasant. We will definately be back. read more

-This review may hurt some feelings as I see a few 5-Star reviews however I cannot sugar coat it and take the risk of the integrity within my reviews. I take Yelp reviews serious which is why I tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth... -We came here on a whim returning from out of town, we normally do not venture to the East Side of Bakersfield a whole lot but since we were on the freeway just entering Bakersfield we said lets check it out. As we parked it was rather empty but it's a huge shopping center so you never know. As we walked in we were greeted instantly but there were no other customers, while this does not scare us it did makes us wonder. After a few minutes of looking at the menu we were ready to order: * Kalbi Beef with Rice: This was my pick and I was greatly satisfied with it, the beef was tender, the broccoli had the right amount of crisp to it and the rice was cooked to my liking. The Korean BBQ marinade is well rooted into the meat and screams UMAMI as it dances across your taste buds. This was a definite highlight during dinner and recommend to anyone who visits. * Chicken Wings (Crazy Spicy & Sweet Chili): I absolutely love chicken wings, I will try them almost anywhere and can talk for days with someone who adores chicken wings like I do. Crazy BBQ knows what they are doing when they fry their wings, super tender meat with crazy crispiness. We tried two of their sauce flavors, Crazy Spicy & Sweet Chili. Neither were real spicy but the Crazy Spicy has a nice heat that hums a bit with a touch of sweetness. The Sweet Chili wasn't amazing but only because we eat sweet chili every now and then at home. They didn't do anything to enhance it, they just poured it but since it is a favorite at home, we loved the chicken wings doused in it. * Pork Ramen, Beef Ramen & Seafood Ramen: We ordered one of each, my wife the seafood, one son the pork and our other son the beef. I am not trying to challenge their culinary skills, hardwork or anything of that sort but each one of these bowls of ramen seemed like it was put together without too much thought and love. The noodles looked to be pulled straight out of a Top Ramen/Maruchan package you buy at the grocery store, the broth was super diluted with water (very bland) and the ingredients were not fresh, some were canned. For instance the seafood ramen contained imitation crab, which we eat at home so not a problem, but in the ramen it didn't go with it. Then it had oysters but were canned oysters, the texture was a bit slimy and taste was poor. -I have not been to a lot of ramen places so I'm not comparing to high-end ramen spots, this is compared to O Ramen and Kamisama Ramen here in Bakersfield. I think they really need to go back to the drawing board and come up with a better ramen dish. This could really propel their business to a whole new level and be on par with their other dishes that are of a higher quality. -There are other items I would love to come back to try, Spicy Chicken Stone/Melted Cheese, Beef Bulgogi, Pork Spare Galbi and their regular fried chicken. Their sides were quite good, the pickle radish was super refreshing and salad was not bad, could use less dressing. -I really wanted this place to soar with 5 stars especially after reading others reviews but just cannot, I am faltering between a 2 and a 3 but since the ramen was poorly constructed (in my opinion) I will go down to a 2. But do not take my review to heart, try this place for yourself, every has different tastes, different palettes and maybe you will find that one dish that makes you call Crazy BBQ your favorite place to eat. read more

The hospitality and service is great. Very generous and fun people. Came here with family and the food here is equal as great as the service. Would recommend for family and/or friends to hang here read more

This place is in a strip mall near the outskirts of Bakersfield College. It's easy to see and ample parking in front of the business. The menu is simple and the food is actually very good. It's a non-traditional Korean menu but if you ask the owner to bring certain dishes, she will. The bulgogi bowl has lots of meat over brown rice and vegetables. The egg rolls we're unexpected but a nice gesture by the owner to recognize some hungry people. Overall, a nice ambiance with tv screens and music playing softly in a clean yet simple environment. read more
