Talk about delicious! We love this new neighborhood spot that opened up. Love the laid bar, walk in bar vibe. The servers are all wonderful, helpful, and answered all questions we had about the menu and concept for the restaurant. All the dishes were wonderful. I do feel the Wagyu dumplings were the best of the dumplings in all categories of flavor and texture. They were light but really flavorful. I also really enjoyed the salmon adobo onigiri it was such an interesting combination of flavors that was totally unexpected. We do make a reservation online because we heard it gets super busy, and super glad I did! There is a small pay here parking lot at the end of the block as well because we struggled to find parking at first. We'll be back soon!

Miso soup

Small little restaurant, with a great feel. Great attentive service, and customer focus. Food was great, not overly stuffing. Great experience in downtown Charleston. Best bet is to reserve, but they do take walk ins for bar counter.

Onigiri
Ollie G.

Solid experience. Needs bigger nori for the onigiri. The crab one was excellent. Will return for that. My sake pour was 2 sips, disappointing. Hand rolls were good, the veggie one was actually the best I think. Dumplings were fine.

I'd give the this place 6 stars if I could. Relatively new spot in dt Charleston. It's a place where you share a lot of food with the table so just be prepped for that. But the dumplings are so good and I could not recommend that enough

The Benton Box
Sherlyn T.

This past Sunday we got to try Bareo for the first time. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching some of the food being prepared. The restaurant had a great vibe and with their music pumping we were ready for a fun meal. We started with the pork longanisa and shrimp siomai. Very tasty and a perfect way to start our late lunch. The bento box description definitely caught my eye since it had a little bit of everything. We paired it a with a cold, crisp San Miguel beer. The miso sinigang soup had nice citrus tang to it while also being a little spicy. I really liked the miso salmon and pork humba crispy over rice top with a sweet sauce. Lots of different flavors which had us craving another serving. The bento box also had a potato salad, pickled vegetables and a boiled egg. My only regret was not saving room for dessert which you only have to look on their socials to see how fun it looks.

Pork and Cabbage Dumplings with Banana Ketchup BBQ sauce

Finally found it!....a dumpling in Charleston that isn't a half moon shape! Way to go Bareo! Taking the time to honor culinary tradition like doing the proper 7 pleats on the dumplings is a real indicator to me that Chef Nikko isn't fooling around! The space (back at Kultura's old location) screams intimate Ramen shop in Japan, but don't look for Ramen here. What you'll get is a fantastic fusion of Japanese and Filipino foods that coexist perfectly side by side. We sat at the counter and watched the Maestro (Chef Nikko) conduct his orchestra. Each set of hands came together in perfect harmony to produce an amazing array of flavors and textures. Order cards and pencils are at each table and diners fill in the little circle like those multiple choice tests we used to take in school. Most categories had 3 choices and with a few having 2 choices. (See Menu photo) We had: Tuna Yuzu Kosho- Onigiri Scallop, Bagoong, Lemon - Handroll Salmon, Miso, Megi - Handroll Wagyu Truffle - Dumplings Pork and Cabbage- Dumplings Bento Box with Miso Salmon, Pork Humba, Potato Salad, Pickles (shiitakes, Cucumbers, Cauliflower), Sinigang Soup, and. Boiled Egg with jammy yolk - Large Plates Ube & Strawberry - Kakigori with Strawberry syrup, Ube Whipped Cream and Lychee Kakigori is the only Charleston snow I can wrap my mind around, lol The general vibe is fun and neighborly. The service is awesome and each dish is explained when it arrives at your table. If you are a fan of Dumplings and Japanese and/or Filipino eats, you will love Bareo!

Salmon hand roll
Simone M.

The vibe is unique and chill. I love the music and energy of the servers and staff. Service was prompt and food was delicious and hot! I love the scallop and salmon hand rolls and the Shumai.

Onigiro
Peonia E.

Cute spot very friendly service food was delicious, happy that they are here on Spring Street. Definitely will come back.

Wagyu Dumplings
Taylor R.

Fantastic ambiance, food and service all around. They truly made the most out of the small space where it feels intimate but not crowded. You must order at least one from each category, or one of everything if you're with friends! The mango curry crab onigiri is the standout of the night and the year so far for me. The perfect balance of sweet and savory. The tuna onigiri is also fantastic with a delicious furikake. All of the hand rolls are a must! If you had to decide on only one set of dumplings I would suggest the shumai. I love that you can get all but one of their drinks on the menu zero or with proof. The Highball is excellent and the Charleston Cobbler was an unexpected delight. You must finish your night with a kakigori, the pandan was a perfect not too sweet ending to the evening! You can tell every one preparing your food and beverage took pride in their work and it truly shows in the quality of the food and experience.

Last week when we were in Charleston, we were lucky enough to happen upon Kultura. It's a Filipino…read morerestaurant. Before before getting to the food, the space was inviting and had a lot of cool touches. And the service was great! My wife, youngest, and I shared a number of plates. Some of the first include included the Kinilaw, the Lumpia, and the Laing. The Kinilaw is a yellow tuna dish. The tuna melted in your mouth and the flavors from the coconut-leche dressing, ginger, and jalapeño, as well as the fresh mint, added to the flavor palette. I didn't try the Lumpia because it is skinny spring rolls made with ground pork. My wife and youngest said they were great in really enjoyed the taste. The Laing was a vegetable dish involving creamy brace kale with garlic, ginger, and coconut milk. Of course it sounds different and it was, but in a really good way. Again, the way the flavors worked together was really great. The last dish we got was the Curry. It is grilled red snapper with braised, mung beans, tempura sweet potatoes over coconut red curry sauce and rice. It was so good. Again, the flavors in this dish were amazing. The fish was cooked just right. And the way the dish worked together was a piece of culinary art. They also had cool cocktails, good beers, and even mocktails for our teenager. Our experience at Kultura was better than we even expected from looking at the menu online. If you find yourself in Charleston, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

We went to Kultura for date night and it was absolutely delicious. We sat at the bar and Jake took…read moregreat care of us. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped us choose the perfect dishes. We ordered the Laing, the new eggplant omelet, and the fish curry with coconut red curry sauce, sweet potato, and mung beans over rice. Two small plates and one large plate were perfect for two. Everything was flavorful and beautifully balanced, and we left feeling completely satisfied. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend it.

I had hopes that this place would be somewhat OK as there isn't a true Filipino restaurant in…read moreCharleston. Although they aren't solely a Filipino place they do have a few unique Filipino dishes on their menu. Like every other Asian restaurant in town they are Asian Fusion thus they have mix of Asian Cuisines on their menu. The first bad sign was just after sitting down when I smelled the smoke from someones cigarette. I truly hate smelling cigarette smoke so things were off to a very bad start. We order I got the lumpia and chicken adobo. The lumpia was just OK and was the highlight of the experience. The so called chicken adobo was nothing like what it should have been, It was chicken and gravy and was not even that good. This was the worst Asian meal I have ever had. I wouldn't come back here if I was starving as this place is horrible!!!

Visited Luz's for weekday lunch because we heard they served filipino food. Was not disappointed,…read morePansit and Pork Adobo was good. Lumpia was called "eggrolls" and were also outstanding. I tried the Pepper Steak, which was GREAT! Another interesting item was the Bacon Fried Rice, very tasty. The menu also includes a couple appetizers and burgers/sandwiches, fish and seafood, as well as steak. Service was good, hostess stopped by often and refilled drinks/water. The atmosphere is no-frills, think bar/cafe, so don't expect fancy fine dining. And if you're inclined...you can buy lotto tickets before you leave. Definitely a place to stop in and grab some priced-right, comfort food. Adding Luz's to my weekly lunch stop.
