Char'd

I got the bibimbap with tofu. Tofu was crisp on the outside just wish there was more of it. The rice was charred on the bottom as they served it in a cast iron dish. The rice in places was burned however so mixed feelings on that. The cauliflower appetizer was delicious just wish they had charred it a bit like they did with the shishito peppers on top. The sauce was delicious. The plum soju really was not drinkable. The plum Collins was good but wasn't strong enough and there wasn't much in the glass. The leaky chicken appetizer was delicious seemed like it was lightly fried on the outside as were the leek strips. Overall food is solid. Service was ridiculously slow and it was hard to get the servers attention when we needed it. However, she did help clean up a couple of spills which was much appreciated and she was in good spirits in general. Atmosphere was a bit too loud but the ambiance and overall presentation inside is very nice. Vegetarian options: Lots of options to get things with tofu and lots of vegetable options.

Delicious! Best Korean place in terms of flavor in the MKE area in my opinion. Staff are also really amazing.

I sat at the bar and was the only guest at the bar. The dining room is up the stairs next to the bar. The bartender was everything a bartender should be. She was perfect and I learned about my new neighborhood from her.

Delicious!! Four of us shared two apps. Favorite was cauliflower. All dinners were great. Mine was vegetarian. Rice bowl with different veggies and tofu on top. Ssooooo good. Cooked in a cast iron skillet. Rice caramelized on bottom. Fantastic flavors with the right amount of heat. Vegetarian options: Selected the Bibimbap with tofu. It comes with an egg on top so I requested without that. Listed as vegan option so was a little surprised when ordering with tofu that they didn’t ask if I wanted with egg or not. Veg and vegan items labeled. GF listed clearly too. Tofu was fried. Prefer tofu not fried but it was a yummy and fun change of pace.

If you want authentic Korean food then I would not recommend this establishment. The service, presentation and atmosphere is exceptional, but the food was disappointing. I ordered the pork belly and my partner ordered the bibimbap. Both were flavorless. The bibimbap was overcooked and made most of the rice crunchy rather than soft. The pork belly had zero flavor and over the top chewy. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you care for decent Korean food, however if you enjoy Americanized versions then be my guest.

seriously such a hidden gem downtown, i go there every month and there’s very few people dining when i dine in however the restaurants atmosphere is beautiful and the place has wonderful seating of varying party sizes and the food is amazing - i have only had problems with the servers being infrequent with checking in but overall the place is lovely and would recommend for anyone to try.

Decent. The KFC is fire!
