    My husband and I came here for an early dinner on Saturday, and loved the food, staff and decor. We were staying in Milwaukee for the weekend so reserved a table here, but we were the first guests there as they opened at 4:30pm. Our server was attentive, checking in on us, making sure waters were full. The food came out very quickly - perhaps because we were the first there, but as we ate the restaurant filled up quickly. We ordered a plum soju to share, scallion pancakes with seafood, and entrees of Beef Galbi and Rice Cake Dumpling Soup. A small dish of spicy cucumber kimchi was served first which was free. The scallion pancakes was large and we chose to have seafood (vs kimchi) and we were so pleasantly impressed by the amount of seafood especially octopus which is my favorite in the pancake. The Beef Galbi came on a sizzling hot dish, and without the bone but in bite sized pieces with grilled veggies and a side of rice. It was just to my liking and just as delicious as other Galbi dishes I have had before. My husband enjoyed the soup which was very large and also included a side of purple rice. We have enjoyed many Korean food restaurants and this is a fancier restaurant that still served good tasting Korean food from what we ordered. Total for two people with drinks, appetizer and two entrees came out to the $90s including tax but not tip. I was pleasantly surprised by the dinner despite noted prior reviews, so if we're ever in the area again we will likely be back!

    Pork Kimchi Stew
    Jiyoung S.

    Before I jump into my review, I really wanted to love this place. I did a lot of Yelp and Instagram research prior to visiting Milwaukee and decided to visit Char'd. I visited alone on a Wednesday night. Parking was tricky around the restaurant as it was my first time visiting the area, but you could find street parking as well as park at a parking deck nearby and walk. When I walked in, there were 3 other tables. By 6:45 pm, I was the only person in the restaurant, which I thought was super odd. As soon as I was seated, I was presented with cucumber kimchi, which was absolutely delicious. Knowing that it's a Korean restaurant but in a different city than where I'm form, I asked if they do refills on side dishes and I was told that first refill is FREE, but the next refills will be charged. I noted this and enjoyed my dinner. I got Galaxy Lemonade, Hand-Cut Grilled Pork Ssam, and Pork Kimchi Stew. Lemonade was pretty good and nothing stood too much. Pork Ssam was delicious, but what I was presented was slightly different than what I saw on Yelp pictures. Pork was well seasoned and bit tough, but the sauces and small pickles that came with the dish was amazing. Let's talk about Pork Kimchi Stew. It supposed to come with ramen, rice cake, spam, and dumplings. There was 3 spam pieces, 2 rice cake pieces, and 1 dumpling. Based on the ingredients, this is a sad version of an army stew. As Korean, I've had better army stew in the past that did not cost over $20. This stew isn't worth its price. I was pretty disappointed with this dish. I deliberately ordered two dishes to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. When I was asking for to-go containers, I brought up the cucumber kimchi refill I never got and asked for to go. The server, who never asked if I'm doing OK until I was done eating, went to kitchen and brought a container full of cucumber kimchi with $5 added to my bill without asking me. If this was a non-work trip dinner where I have to pay the bill on my own, I would have asked the server to take $5 off from the check and take the cucumber container back to the kitchen as I never asked for kimchi to-go. As I specifically asked for the kimchi refill, I wish the server came to ask me to clarify upon the kitchen disagreeing with my request. But there was no communication with me, which was quite disappointing. I now understand some of the low star reviews left on Yelp. I paid 20% tip, but the server didn't deserve that full tip. I left the restaurant quite pissed off. Now I understand why the restaurant was empty while I dined.

    Jap chae noodles

    Recently visited Char'd on a double date. I walk past the spot all the time, and have been wanting to check it out so I was happy to cross it off my list! We started out with the scallion pancake and the sweet & spicy dumplings--which I'd both recommend you order! These are definitely some of the best potstickers I've ever had, topped with a sauce that seemed like chili oil. The scallion pancake had little pieces of shrimp tucked away, which was a pleasant surprise. We also got a complementary dish of kimchi. For the main entrees, our server recommended all of her favorite dishes to us--and 3/4 of us ended up ordering one of her recommendations. My boyfriend ordered the galbi, and the meat was really flavorful. My friends enjoyed the pork and beef bulgogi (also server recommendations). I ordered the jap chae glass noodles, which have a flavor ever so reminiscent of sweet potato. I had never had anything like them, when it comes to taste and presentation! Our server was very attentive with refilling our waters and checking in on us enough throughout our stay. Come to Char'd when you want to try something new! It'd be a great Third Ward date spot, whether you sit at the bar or have a full meal together.

    Another great meal at Char'd! If you are dining here, do not sleep on the dumplings. They are to die for! I went for the spicy squid and pork this time. Spicy, savory, delicious. I also tried the yuzu beez specialty cocktail and really enjoyed it! Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. The service this visit was a little off. The food came out quickly. But our server was not very present as you would normally expect. Could be an off night. One other thing to note. We had a party of 6. It is not unusual to see a gratuity added for a party our size, and it was. But what was unusual was it was listed on the bill as a "service charge". That was unusual to me so I asked about it and was advised that it was a gratuity. I wasn't upset about it. But I would prefer to see it listed as a gratuity. Regardless, we will be back for the amazing food!

    I went to Char'd for a dinner and was seated very quickly. There seems to be fast service in getting your order in and food to the table. However, once the food was placed, service was less attentive. The server was slower with getting water refills and checking in. Overall, the food was delicious. It just leans more towards a "Korean-American" fusion style, rather than a true Korean cuisine. This was a nice place for a casual dinner, but not the best Korean food I've had.

    Grilled Pork Belly
    Kelsie R.

    Char'd is such a great sit-down Korean restaurant with a modern vibe - something I haven't seen often. This is the perfect spot to split everything you want from the menu (thanks to our Uber driver for that recommendation). Every dish we had was amazing, and the service was great. Tried: KFC wings, garlic chili shrimp, grilled pork belly Loved: all the food we had. The sauces that came with the grilled pork belly made it so flavorful with all the side accompaniments The KFC wings were fantastic, and definitely the highlight. The garlic chili shrimp was also amazing, and reminded me of a better version of the Panda Express honey walnut shrimp with a spicy kick and not as much sugar Liked: it's easier to walk or Uber unless you come on a weeknight - otherwise street parking can be difficult

    Stopped in for valentines this year since they were one of the few places serving a full menu. Food was terrific as always, Korean fusion had a soft spot in my heart before finding Char'd, but it's been taken to a whole new level lately. My fiancé and I love splitting a carafe of Soju as well, it's just the right amount to share. Service for such a busy holiday was excellent, and the mood was perfect. Their KFC wings hold a special place in my heart and I'd highly recommend starting there on your first visit.

    My husband and I celebrated his birthday with dinner here this year and it was an overall very nice experience, but the meal didn't live up to prior birthday dinners at Momo Mee, for example. I made reservations a few weeks in advance, though that probably wasn't necessary as the restaurant wasn't completely full when we arrived. We got seated right away and our waitress was very nice and got our orders swiftly. My husband got the Far East cocktail while I did the Yuzu Beez. We both enjoyed our drinks a lot. Mine was sweet and refreshing though got watered down kind of quickly. We started our meal with the shishito cauliflower and Togarashi fries. The cauliflower was amazing! Very flavorful and nicely cooked. The fries, in comparison, were a let down. For fries, they were good, but the Togarashi seasoning was a let down - there was almost no flavor to the fries and even the salt seemed lacking. It also doesn't come with any kind of dipping sauce, but our waitress brought over a gochujang sauce when we asked if they had any hot sauces. The fries do go well with the gochujang. For dinner, I got the tofu sweet glass noodles while my husband got the tofu bibimbap. We both thoroughly enjoyed the noodles, but in comparison were again disappointed with the bibimbap - everything was cooked well, but it just felt like it needed something more. They have one dessert option - the croiffle. We got this to celebrate my husband's birthday and the waitress even put a candle on it, which was a very sweet gesture. This dessert was a perfect ending! It was sweet, flaky, and warm and went SO nicely with the cookie dough ice cream on the side. Would highly recommend this! Overall it was a good dinner experience, but I'm not sure we're in a hurry to go back.

    Beef Bulgogi
    Andrea F.

    I liked it here so much I came back two days in a row! I went on a Thursday night with my husband for dinner and the restaurant wasn't very busy but when I returned on Friday they had a good amount of business. The restaurant can be hard to find if you're not looking directly at it but the interior is really nicely designed with big floor to ceiling windows at the entrance and a bar on a lower level where you walk in. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful with recommendations and I loved all of the food we tried. I had a couple different appetizers and tried a few people's meals and everything was so delicious. The menu is a sauce lovers dream and the flavors are so well crafted. The entrees come with several sides and we had plenty of leftovers to take home!

    Stir Fry Glass Noodle (Japchae) bottom- okay Spicy Beef Soup top- okay
    Ben W.

    I was very excited to try the spicy beef soup with glass noodles added along with the spicy chicken with veggies! Also added the japchae which overall the dishes were good but the kimchi wasn't my favorite and all three dishes lacked spice which really prevented the dishes from being great! I was expected to the soup to be hot but instead was just warm. I do have to say the quality of ingredients was high but just underwhelmed my taste buds compared to other Korean restaurants i have been to around milwaukee. I will have to give it one more shot for the beef bulgogi but wish I could have rated this place higher. Three dishes for 84$ after tax and tip split 3 ways= 28$ per person

    Shishito Cauliflower
    Amy A.

    My fiance and I went to Char'd for lunch last weekend! We absolutely love Korean food, and this place was delicious!! Since it was lunch time, we didn't want to over order. We decided to order a few things from the appetizer part of the menu & shared. All of them were exceptional! Our two top highlights were the leeky chicken and the wings. The sauce on the wings was soooo good! Prepare to get a little messy, but it's completely worth it! The leeky chicken has really great onion flavor. The chicken has a nice light crunch to it and we liked the fried leeks and the pickled leeks underneath. We wished there was a little more picked leek though. The dumplings were really delicious too! The sauce on them was a little sweet and had just a little bit of heat. Our least favorite dish from the meal was the shishito cauliflower. By no means was it bad though! It is beautiful to look at and I liked the sesame sauce it also has. We just wanted there to be a little more salt and maybe more of a punch with some kind of flavor. We are very much looking forward to coming back to Char'd and having dinner there! I would highly recommend anyone coming to check out if you are looking for somewhere new to go!

    Sweet sour pork
    Carla R.

    I was really excited to go here but was let down. The service was really slow and my fiancé got his meal about 10 minutes before mine, so his stone bowl rice hardened waiting for my food. I got the sweet/sour pork and it was sooo fatty. I had to keep chewing for quite a while and I did not finish this dish or take it home. The sauce was inauthentic as well. Also, they do not give anything for birthdays which was a bummer. On a positive note, it was a nice atmosphere.

    Dean B.

    Fun hipster atmosphere in the trendy Third Ward. Parking nearby, which was convenient. A somewhat limited menu but all the classic Korean favorites. Wonderful food all the way around. The scallion pancakes were very good (had the kimchi version, not seafood). Bulgogi and Galbi were great and portions were about right, not too much or too little. Bibimbap perhaps not completely authentic but great presentation and really tasty. Some interesting drinks, both American and Korean. Service was good, not great. And they didn't have any banchan other than kimchi. But overall great experience. Would go back and would definitely recommend.

    Fucking love this place…read more If there is a highly rated small plates place in a location we are visiting, you can count on us to find it. We walked literally thirty minutes to this place from our hotel. It was a lovely walk in early August. We had a 5:45pm reservation on a Thursday (we are old now) and we were seated immediately. Service was excellent. Ok so they have a fantastic cocktail menu. I appreciate any cocktail menu that is more complex than vodka and cranberry juice but this takes it to another level of creativity. I also like how they name them with numbers. It's so much easier to say "I'll have a 42" rather than "I will have a duperbeamerscicle". I started with an "88" with pisco, rose-poached strawberry, amontillado sherry, verjus, rose port, and pink peppercorn. Served in a highball glass and garnished with berries. Very refreshing. GF started with the "91" mezcal, passion fruit, poblano, pineapple, amaro, lime. Gorgeous and chic. Very strong, smoky flavor. When in Rome, so the cheese plate did not feel like an option. Four fantastic cheeses were served with very tasty candied nuts, some jam business, grapes, and some of the best bread I have had on a cheese plate. Thick, soft, and fluffy. Paired absolutely perfectly with cheese. Only complaint is that I wish there was more of it. I haven't had deviled eggs in a minute so I went wild and also had the chili crisp deviled eggs which were SPECTACULAR. I also got the Egyptian fried cauliflower which is served on a smear of harissa and lemon tahini. Very flavorful. Star of the show tbh was the tagliatelle with squash, tomato, these fried cheese crisps. The noodles were al dente and SO GOOD in such a wonderful sauce. GF also got the steak, she says "very good seasoning". I helped her out with the kimchi pancake. Wonderful. Such a great sauce. For our second round of dranks we both went with the "77" makrut lime vodka, tamarind, bird's eye chili, cilantro, lime, lemongrass. Very tamarind forward. Very unique. I can see why it's our server's favorite drink on the menu. The desserts looked really good (something with sticky rice I think it was a cocktail and a bread budding that looked fantastic) but we just weren't feeling it.

You were really able to taste the tequila but it wasn't un-drinkable. The Guava was a great blend with the drink and my friend wished he had gotten the same drink because of how good it tasted. The menu was divided up into three different sections; Field, Sea, and Pasture. They also had specials, as well. We tried to get a few items from each section to try different dishes. In the Field section, we tried the Truffle Potato Skins (WI). The potatoes skins were PILED onto the plate. They were more soft than crunchy but tasted amazing. I wasn't really able to taste the truffle but it was still good. In the Sea section, we tried the Sambal Goreng Udang (Indonesia). An Indonesian dish with white shrimp, sambal chili paste, mash potatoes, and coconut milk. Honestly, this was my favorite dish. It was creamy and the mashed potatoes paired so well with the sauce and the shrimp. It had a hint of spice, which elevated the experience for me personally, as I love spicy food. In the Pasture section, we tried the Beef Empanadas (Columbia) and Vietnamese Pork Belly Crepes (Vietnam). The Beef Empanadas came with four pieces and some green sauce. The outside was crunchy and not over fried, the inside was perfectly filled and moist. Would highly recommend it as it was amazing. The Vietnamese Pork Belly Crepes were a little disappointing. I was expecting them to come out like the traditional Vietnamese crepes, crispy outside with the pork belly and other fillings on the inside. Instead it was like an actual crepe mix. It was soft and honestly okay. It wasn't our favorite. As for the specials they were offering, we tried the Pork Tenderloin. The Pork Tenderloin was pretty good, not super dry. It was served on top of potatoes and tasted amazing. La Merenda has a very cozy atmosphere. Low lights and overall just a chill and quaint spot. I will definitely come back for more of the Sambal Goreng Udang and to try out some of their other plates!

The waitress was very informative and let me sample a few - you have to try the unfiltered ones! They are a lot fruitier and smoother than you'd think. Our reservation was for 6:45, but we were sat to begin just after 7 (I think that's intentional to ensure everyone is present when they are actually ready to flip and begin service again). It's a well-oiled machine with how smoothly they flip each 10-person group through the evening. Once the chefs get started (there's two, one per 5 guests), it's so neat to watch them work and create each piece or dish for you. I honestly can't even go into detail about each course of the 14-course experience, it's so intricate and an explosion of flavors and textures, you simply have to experience it for yourself :). What I will say is it's well worth the cost and top-notch food. We will look forward to going back again some day!

You're definitely paying a premium dining here, but the attention to detail and flavors was well worth it. I will be back to try their burgers!!!

    Aside from the hair in my drink, I generally enjoyed the food here! I went in during a weekday and…read morewas pleased by the ample, comfortable bar seating. The food was inventive! The tartare was memorable and yummy, though the bread could've been crispier. The burger was phenomenal, truly outstandingly delicious. But the star of the show was the peanut butter pie, I would come back just for the pie! Unfortunately, I found a hair in the bottom of my drink, just as I was enjoying the muddled fruit from my old fashioned. I remain confused by the fact the hair didn't appear to belong to myself or the bartender - how did it get there in the first place? And what if I hadn't taken the time to enjoy the fruit at the bottom of my cup? Though the bartender and another staff person agreed to remove the price of the drink from my tab, perhaps management may benefit from a conversation not only about maintaining high standards and love for the food served, but also in moments where errors (like hair in food) occur, how to go above and beyond rather than doing what I consider to be bare minimum.

    Alright let me set the scene: you walk in to Snifters. It's super modern, dark, reclaimed wood on…read morethe wall, mirrors abound. It certainly looks new. You head out to the patio (it's cute). There's couches and you lounge for a bit. Then you get the menu and have to reread it. It's...unusual. Latin meets soul food. Latin. Meets. Soul food. Oh and also, all the drinks come in snifter glasses. ???? Okay, so I'm not usually a fan of super specific, hipstery themes like this. But I decided to give Snifters a chance. And I'll admit, I liked what they had to offer. The signature dish seems to be the empanadas. These empanadas, however, are filled with unusual ingredients. We ended up getting The Manchester (basically mac and cheese stuffed in an empanada. Decent, but confusing to the senses), The Appalachia (pulled pork sandwich empanada. Solidly good), and The Cream City Standard (beans and potatoes. Easily my favorite, most similar to a traditional empanada). Overall, the empanadas were tasty, despite their oddness! We then moved on to an entree option. I went with Los Camarones, which were giant breaded shrimp served on top of cornbread. The shrimp was excellent. Very flavorful and delicious. The dish as a whole, I thought, lacked a sauce on top. It was a bit dry overall. My friend got the chicken and waffles, which was delightfully served with the maple syrup in a snifter glass. She was a big fan, so it must have been delicious. Overall, I'm surprised how much I enjoyed Snifters. I had hesitations, but the food was unique and flavorful. My big issue: the service was painfully slow. As in, I had to get up and find our server myself, which automatically knocks one star off in my books. There was only one other couple in the whole restaurant.

    Loved their brunch menu! We had the old style French Toast infused with jack Daniels whiskey & May…read moremolasses topped with a Dulce de leche crema The carnitas Benedict was super tasty. The salsa is on point with a savory kick that doesn't overpower.

    We came here for a nice family dinner. Walking in you can tell this place has history…read more We sat inside, but they do have an outdoor area that feels a little more casual. Our waiter was very attentive. We ordered a bottle of wine to share, and I did have a cocktail as well. Their cocktail menu is put together very well. They have an option for everyone. I ordered the chilean sea bass. The parmesan crust on it was perfect. For some reason I was picturing a more crispy hard crust, but it was nice and soft. The fish itself was perfectly cooked. We opt'ed out of dessert, but maybe next time! This was a special experience.

    The food was really good, but unfortunately, the service could have been much better. We waited…read moreabout an hour for our entrees, and our waitress never really updated us on what was going on. We were eating outside, and we barely saw her while we were waiting. My husband eventually had to go inside to check with someone, and it took another 15 minutes before we finally got an update. The manager did make an effort to make things right. He took $20 off our bill and gave us free dessert, which we really appreciated. That said, I think we'll be back. It's a beautiful place with good food, and we really enjoyed what we had. The service just needs some work. Our waitress was very sweet, but seemed a little timid and didn't check on us much. Even getting drink refills took quite a while. Overall, we had a good experience despite the wait, and hopefully the service improves because we'd definitely like to come back!
