Char Korean Bar & Grill

In this day and age we tend to write reviews about the bad. Let me be honest and completely clear. I'm not a food critic just fat and enjoy good food. Whoever the owner operator is has done their due diligence with picking a top tier leadership. I don't know exactly who our server was because at every moment a full team attended to giving us exceptional genuine service. From teaching us about the menu to suggesting drinks and wine pairing. The music, vibe, crowd and energy was electric. Definitely a solid mix of in the city and feeling at home and comfortable. This establishment is definitely a lot more than fresh quality food... it's a welcoming vibe. You would do yourself a great disservice if you didn't seek out Kristin,Amanda,Bailey or Evan. I stand on they are proof the ART OF REAL HOSPITALITY is NOT a dead art or skill. I can't wait to come back. Maybe I found a new place to sink my regular customer boots at. Thank you CHARLITERALLY EVERYTHING YOU DIDNT KNOW YOU NEEDED

This is so far from Korean it is painful. My Korean wife and I came here after an event and was beyond disappointed. The kimchi is horrible and the Kimchi fried rice follows right behind it. The Korean fried chicken is boiled and the sauce is not even Korean. I have no clue where in the world this owner came up with these recipes but he needs to take a drive to Duluth and learn how to cook. I mean how can you have soju and no Korean beer!!!

I think 2 stars is plenty for the experience my large group and I had dining at Char. There was also a hair in the starting salad they brought out :/ I would like to hope this was just a 1-time bad experience. Setting: Right in the heart of Inman Park, next to Little Spirit, Vinoteca, and other shops. There's outdoor/indoor seating, but it gets hot if you're doing KBBQ outside in Atlanta so keep that in mind!Service: The restaurant only had a few other patrons, yet our service was incredibly slow and our waters were never refilled. Food: The quality is good, but it's really pricey. Given the location, I understand but the quantities should've made up for it.

We were craving Korean food and found this place and decided to get a bunch of bar bites. The server was so nice and helped us with our order and took such good care of us I wasn't a fan of the tempura mushrooms and she noticed and asked how they could make it better and this place take so much care in their customer reviews it's even printed on the wall. The ambiance is so cute in here and could see it be super full at night!

I visited this restaurant on a busy Friday evening. It was relatively easy to get a seat due to their plenty seating availability. The ambience was really nice. A great place to go on a Friday evening for a hustle bustle experience. The drinks were phenomenal. They had our favorite lucky budha beer and their whiskey sour was to die for. The 3 starts was because I think their food is very average. The quantity is not great and the flavor is alright as well. Nothing to speak volumes about. I will visit again though, just for the vibes.

We stopped in for a quick appetizer and drink. We tried the crispy beef mandu and they were really tasty. It's served with a ponzu sauce that's just okay but the dumplings were amazing. I had a tequila dream drink that was tasty as well. Service was friendly and quick.They do have options for you to cook the typical korean meats so we may come back and try it out.

A gem in Atlanta! Was in town visiting and wanted to check out this place and their outdoor bar seatings. Since the weather was good I was able to sit outside and have a few of their menu items and mostly drinks. Service was prompt and fast. The vibe was on point for the area and would come back next time in town.

It's sooo small in there even with the windows open and half a wall missing it's incredibly hot in there. We were definitely sweating from the grill heat but also spacing. I met some friends there and I don't eat so figured I could get something else off the menu. There was only one dish I could get, it was this extremely spicy shrimp. Now it was good but it's about 3/4 shrimp on top of maybe one side of French bread drowned in sauce.

Brought colleagues from work here who were craving Korean BBQ. There is a parking garage in the alley next to this restaurant so it's easy to get settled in. This is a modernized take on Korean BBQ. Fancy decor, meat quality is very high- but there is little to no banchon (side dishes) and it's gas versus charcoal- so there is a difference IMO. Our service was excellent. Everyone was pleased, I ordered for the table (group of ten) and we had 2 appetizer sampler platters to start. 3 Kim chee dumplings, 3 beef dumplings, 3 beef meatballs, and 3 Korean Deviled egg halves, with sides of kim chee and pickled radishes. People got to taste different things and it went over well.For the table I ordered entrees and not the AYCE. I wanted them to have quality, not quantity. I started with two orders of Chicken (one spicy and one soy marinated). 2 orders of beef tenderloin for each side of the table (two grills for ten people), and finally 2 orders of the Kalbi- marinated short ribs. That's the Cadillac of the experience, so I made sure we had that. As for sides, I got two kim chee fried rice, one order of cucumber salad (which was the hero of all the meal, because I LOVE CUCUMBERS PREPPED THUS WAY). They had many offerings when it came to sauces. People loved the salty ssam Jang, as well as the soy garlic. Cucumber sliced thin and picked like Kim chee is also a personal favorite and lots of our team loved it all. The only negative is not having any banchon, and the prices are indicative of being in Inman Park/Midtown. Entertaining customers is good here but for traditionalists this probably isn't for you.Thanks to the team here for taking such good care of us.

amazing dim sum and Korean bbq w a to die for vibe! We love the food and open air bar. great spot for happy hour!
