    The Kroft is the first spot on the left when you walk into the crowded Hangar. Seating inside is limited, but with the entire hangar available, you'll have plenty of places to land and enjoy your food. The burger was solid, but the sauce is what really made it for me. The poutine fries definitely stole the show, though. The chicken katsu was also on point, and the little details, especially the shichimi and amazu-zuke, really completed the dish. Next on the list, loco moco and braised beef poutine fries.

    Steak and cheese sandwich

    It was an EPIC sandwich... Came on Tuesday evening, I signed up for the Elite event and was very excited try this place out. When I got here, I didn't realize it was in the LBX. Plenty of parking of course. Vibes here is always welcoming. Got to the register and ask a couple questions for the worker, she was very helpful. I went with the steak and cheese sandwich combo. The wait wasn't long at all, before I knew it, I was eating that sandwich right away haha. Very flavorful and packed with so much meat. I love it. A must try for sure...

    The hanger on a Friday night is a festive environment. Outside the hanger there were many families, kids, random adults, swilling beverages, a picnic-like atmosphere. We cruised into the LBX Hangar and decided on eating food from the Kroft. We opted for Portobello mushroom fried and the classic fries which were brown gravy, cheese and parsley. Being that I don't make brown gravy at home and I don't make french fries at home, these were gooey delicious and lived up to their slogan of "comfort food reinvented". The food came out quickly, and they used text message in order to get the notification to us that our food was ready. Claire was our helper at the cash register. Being that I was clueless upon arrival, she was very patient and helpful with us. It's not health food but it was a very welcome treat on a Friday night with my family.

    Amazing service, there are about four seating options next to the Kroft. I love that they have a kids option. We ordered the smash burger and a lemonade and cheese curds.

    I had the fries and spicy burger and birria egg rolls and they were all delicious! My favorite was the burger because I enjoyed the sauce it was spicy and complimented the beef really well! I think the egg rolls were delicious but just a bit smaller than what I expected! The fries were great too, although I'll admit the base were just standard fries! Overall it was great food and the service was nice too! I'd come back!

    Great spot for a quick bite! Wagyu smash burger was great! Order the jalapeno cole slaw to add to your burger! It was soo good! Its located inside a huge food hall! Plenty of parking!

    The Kroft is a restaurant located in a food hall. There's plenty of communal seating. I got the regular wagyu burger for around $11 and it was very lack luster. It truly didn't taste like anything special and I felt like the portion was small. For what it was, the price wasn't justified. At the very least, it tasted like a decent burger. Since the restaurant is in a food hall, the food was presented in a paper bag. It did not come with utensils nor napkins, so you may want to ask them for some when you pick up your order. They do have happy hours Monday-Friday 3-6pm with 50% off sides, beers, and wines. It might be worth checking it out then.

    One of my favorite places to go during happy hour. I recommend checking this out, especially between the hours at 3:00 and 6:00 Monday through Friday. They don't skimp out and most importantly staff is friendly. Hard-working and does their best. Because they are fast casual dining, the location they're in allows you and your friends to all get something different if you do not feel like eating here. The food itself is hot, made to order, and to my knowledge none of it is flash Frozen. Oh and their libations are top choice.

    It's going down.

    It was good. A little pricey, but not a bad total investment for a huge portion of poutine and a double smash burger. The smash burger tasted just like an In N Out, just crispier and richer. The poutine was large, the gravy was well-spiced albeit on the salty side, and a generous amount of cheese curds. It was more than I could finish, in a good way. All in all, I would come back. I would just need to space out my visits to rest my heart and my wallet.

    The porchetta sandwich is the thing that will keep you coming back here. I've tried other items on the menu but it's the porchetta that I keep thinking about and wanting again and again.

    10/10 the spicy fish sandwich was soooo good. It was flavorful, just enough spicy in the sauce and it came out HOT, crispy. Everything about it was great. Sad it will discontinued I hope they bring it back. This was my first time at the Kroft. The service was really friendly and pretty fast.

    Braised beef poutine
    K Q.

    We got a kids smashed burger, braised beef poutine, and cheeseburger eggrolls. My daughter loved the kids Smashburger. Although it was over priced for a small kids burger. The braised beef was also very good, but the cheeseburger egg rolls were lackluster and also overpriced. While the food was overall good, the wait was a little ridiculous. It took 20 minutes for us to get the food. They must have prepared the protein first because that was just like warm by the time my order was ready.

    The cashier was so friendly and helped me make a great selection through her recommendations. The French Onion Smash Burger was amazing!

Crispy fries, savory gravy, melt-in-your-mouth smoked brisket, and gooey cheese curds make for the perfect combination. The portion size is generous, and the flavors are rich and comforting.

    I can only conclude that I went on an off night. I went to a concert at YouTube Theater this past…read moreweek and the poutine options were sounding great from Poutine Brothers. The line was long but the prospect of gooey goodness was worth it. After placing my $29 order for a bottle of water and the beef brisket poutine, it didn't look amazing but looks can be deceiving. Sadly, the looks represented properly the dish. I don't know what was going on, but every element was terrible. The beef brisket was dry, the gravy didn't have flavor and was so thin that the minimal portion all seeped to the bottom of the dish. Literally 5 cheese curds in the poutine and they were not gooey. None of the dish was. It was all so dry and had no flavor. The fries weren't good either, not crispy at all and I'm thinking what the heck!? If you're going to have a poutine focused truck, how is the gravy watery and not delicious?! How are the fries not bomb!? What am I missing here?! Did I just go on an off day!?

I think it was the Chinatown location that didn't work for them. However, the good news is that they do have three other locations and if you have never been, I suggest you check Kroft out if you love burgers, especially smashed. The other locations are in Long Beach, Anaheim, and Rancho Cucamonga. I wish them luck and I will definitely be stopping in their other locations if I am ever in the area.
