“ This place is adorable and lives up to the reviews. Went early concerned I wouldn’t get in and sat at the bar. The bartender was awesome and guided me through the menu. They start w spicy cucumbers. I order spicy edamame and the spicy beef bulogi. All were exceptional and the portions were large. ”
“ Good food, cool ambiance and great spices. Drinks options are good. Street parking. Menu changed recently- flavors are great. ”
“ Love the decor inside, not too busy for Friday night at 630pm. Group of 5 literally tried all 8 appetizers not a single one disappointed us. Everything was seasoned amazing and not a single dish tasted the same. The dumplings had a little spice, the pancake was good, small area was soggy but really great textures presented. The seasoning on the fries, fire! Edamame was seasoned well, we tried the lemon seasoning. The cauliflower was a little kick but to much, it comes toward the end of the bite. The shrimp and wings were really good too. We were not fans of the kimchi, just not for our tastebuds but literally we did not have a bad bite. Waiter was great and very attentive, drinks were descent, sangria pictures and lemonade as well. Would come back and literally eat the same as what we ordered, you won’t be disappointed ALSO you have to get the dessert, the waffle is sooo good and the ice cream... solid! ”
“ We loved the atmosphere, the restaurant is very clean and modern, the seats were extremely comfortable as well. We got our food quickly and the flavor was incredible. Seriously the BEST dumplings I’ve ever had. I had the teriyaki dumplings and the beef galbi, my partner had the kimchi fried rice. We were so impressed and will be recommending the restaurant to others as well as coming back. The service was also great! Thank you for the experience! ”
“ Very nice atmosphere with delicious food. Service was a bit spotty and slow. Waitress never came back to ask if we wanted any additional drinks and they didn't take away our dirty plates, but initially, our order was taken quickly. Just seems like we were forgotten about after that. Yummy food though with classy surroundings. ”
“ Was my first time officially having Korean food, and everything was delicious. Great kimchi fried rice and their rice cakes (dumplings) were scrumptious. Good portion sizes as well. ”
“ The food here was really good but nothing crazy special. The dumplings where my favorite, very delicious. Even better with the Creme fraiche dip. The service how was excellent, top notch. Our bartender was awesome, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The cocktails were, as such, fantastic. Overall very much worth a visit. ”
“ Tried Char'd for the first time with a group of friends after making reservations and man, it did not disappoint! Even the vegetables were to die for. They're a bit pricier than some other local Korean places but the atmosphere and creative touches with the dishes will more than make up for it. Don't forget to try a croiffle (croissant waffle) for dessert! ”
