We were not greeted upon arrival. The food was mediocre for the price. Probably will not return.

Food was great! I believe staff was short this evening so the wait time for food was a little longer, then previous times we have eaten here.

We dined at Char’d on NYE, and despite being one of the first tables seated at 6pm, it took over 20 minutes to get drinks. We sat there without receiving our second round of drinks or our entrees for an hour and a half. We did receive our appetizers which were delicious, as were the first cocktails, but the service was horrendous to the point that we left before we even received our dinner. I am hoping this was a fluke and that next time will be better.

We have previously dined here and originally loved it. We noticed they changed their recipe of the beef bulgogi though and it is not as good as it used to be. When we asked if the recipe had changed, we were told “huh, no. But you aren’t the first people to ask”.

While other Korean restaurants like Sinabro and Maru go the more traditional Korean fare route, we have always loved Char'd because of its non-traditional Korean fusion of flavors. Not anymore. Char'd has changed its menu, and not for the better. They have removed a number of our favorite small plates and the overall impression is now standard Korean dishes with no real perspective.

Had another great meal. We try something new each time and get a couple favorites. All excellent. My only suggestion: bring back the dashi cauliflower and shishito peppers.

We waiting 2 hours for edamame. :( She warned us that the kitchen was 30 minutes behind but again, 2 hours just for edamame. Never checked on us for water or drinks. It wasn’t that busy, as far as number of tables.
