Sadia H.

First visit here. Parking is tough, I saw lots of people double park to run & get their orders. I ordered a spider roll & a shrimp tempura roll, $19 total. Service was friendly. It took about 15 minutes to get my rolls. In my humble opinion, both the spider crab & shrimp tempura were over fried. And both rolls were smothered in eel sauce, which I find too sweet. If I had known they would do that, I would've requested no sauce because both rolls tasted the same, I couldn't taste the shrimp. They also have the tiniest dab of Wasabi. I usually get tempura rolls at a Japanese restaurant. I know this place is Korean, so I would like to come back & try their Korean dishes next time. Happy Yelping!

Sushi deluxe with an eel roll.
Kwame S.

I came to Charlie's Place because another sushi spot in the area was not open . . . even though the other restaurant's Yelp hours said they opened at 1 pm. Since Charlie's Place is next door to a bodega/takeout spot, I really did not know what to expect. In fact, I was about to call it a loss and 86 my sushi lunch idea, but I am glad that I powered through. Overall, the place is pretty decent and has the bare necessities for a sushi platter. While the sushi was not out of the world amazing, the prices are pretty good for what you get. The prices are way better than some of the other sushi places with the same quality of food. Also, the lady at the front counter was probably one of the nicest people that I have encountered. For my dining pleasure, I went with the sushi deluxe (5 pieces of sushi and a California roll) with an eel roll. *Hey, I was starving.* I was slightly taken aback that the restaurant did not verify customers' vaccination status for dining inside. Now that I know this place is within walking distance from my apt, I am 100% sure that I'll be back for some easy, breezy Asian food (some of the Korean dishes looked pretty interesting).

Food here is always fresh and the service is quick. The host/cashier is super polite, always bows to greet the customers. Dining in is a better choice as they have enough seating even during lunch time. I wouldn't recommend anyone to walk in at 5:45pm as they close their kitchen right at 6 and would not let you dine in after 5:45pm.

Best sushi I've had in Harlem and possibly NYC and the price can't be beat
Bar S.

Charlie's place is phenomenal! I wish I could give it more stars. They have quite a variety of sushi rolls and for the amount they give I have not seen a better price in the city. We ordered it to go and the restaurant itself is a little hidden, but it's very nice inside. The staff is super friendly. The sushi itself was very fresh and well made. I will be coming back a lot and be trying their other menu items too.

Korean beef soup
Lola Y.

Don't be fooled by the modest exterior of this place. The fish is top quality! You can also tell how much care the chef puts into the presentation, as each roll is tightly wrapped, perfectly cut, and meticulously topped off with various sauces, tobiko, etc. If we're just talking about sushi, this place is 10x better than Yuzu, which is one of the few other sushi restaurants in the area. Compared to Yuzu, their prices are way cheaper, the fish is actually better quality, and the presentation is also better. (At the very least, their rolls aren't falling apart and cut haphazardly like they are at Yuzu!) I also love ordering their Korean beef soup, which isn't as spicy as it looks and really hits the spot on a cold day. I haven't personally tried the lunch specials yet but based on the orders the owner calls out while I patiently wait for my food, I can tell they're very popular items, usually consisting of a combo with lo mein, chicken teriyaki, and fried rice. I will say that because they are a very small restaurant and clearly adored by locals (myself included), the line can be a little long, especially during peak lunch and dinner times. I definitely recommend placing your order ahead of time. This is easily one of our favorite go-to places and we absolutely love the owners, who are just the sweetest Korean couple. Thank you for always providing such quality food and for caring about what you do!

Spicy Beef Soup

Don't order spicy beef soup Flavorless Not really spicy Very little beef Service was good Ambiance good Sushi is always good .. just don't order this soup

Spicy beef soup
Gaoxiang C.

This spot is half a block from my new office. The inside is very clean and I could see right into the kitchen. I was surprised at how clean everything is. I just grabbed a quick lunch of spicy beef soup to go and it came with a good portion of rice. The soup was pretty spicy and the flavor was good. For less than $10, it was a good amount of food. I will definitely be coming back here to try their sushi.

Yellowtail jalapeño roll, spicy tuna roll, yellowtail hand roll
Michelle C.

This spot offers takeout and free delivery, and the service was great. The nigiri sushi rolls are very generously portioned and very tasty. They have a very extensive menu including poké bowls, bento boxes, and teriyakis. If you pick up in store they do have Apple Pay. This place is a little gem of Harlem!

I think I found my new favorite spot in Harlem. I was craving Pad thai for the longest but didn't want to spend 20-25 dollars. I came across this restaurant on my search. Decided to have sushi as well. It was great but this weird but i wish it was a little colder. Then I had the beef pad thai. It was a large portion and incredibly fresh. It hit the spot. Also kudos to the server that was very nice. I overheard her telling another customer how they expanded their menu. I can't wait to go back and try more. Bang for buck spot: I got spicy salmon roll, beef pad thai, ice tea and bottle water came out to 16 bucks

Edamame

Easy dine in or takeout for sushi. I had the dragon roll and edamame. Freshly prepared and so tasty!

The restaurant itself is clean and well lit--a great place to stop by for a good, hearty meal. We ordered the Lanzhou Beef Noodle and Pork Hamburger. I really enjoyed both dishes. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the beef was delicious. I will say that I wish the broth had more flavor, but it did feel light and clean. The pork hamburger came with a good amount of meat, which I appreciated. It was super juicy and flavorful. The service was quick and attentive, and I felt that the prices were reasonable.

The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, cozy and comfortable atmosphere! The place was a little busy, and didn't take reservations, but we were seated immediately. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. My favorite dish was the Signature Lanzhou Beef Noodle Soup, which was delicious and flavorful, and also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Others had something else I had no interest in to remember the name. Their menu has many options to offer, including gluten free, soy free, and dairy free options. We would come back again and highly recommend you check out this place if you are in Murray Hill Manhattan. My only complaint was that I noticed a male staff member leave the restroom without flushing the toilet, which took away from an otherwise positive dining experience.

I really appreciated that. And then when the server was taking my order, he also made sure to outline some of the potential risks, such as the soft boiled egg in the ramen.

I do find it weird that some items on the lunch set menu are missing from their full menu. I guess that helps incentivize? quiet on a Friday at lunchtime, only a few tables were occupied. What I Ordered: - Pork Gyoza: crispy + flavorful dumpling, I liked the fresh grated scallion sauce, but could've done without the extra oil drizzle - Tokyo Chicken Ramen: tender chicken, solidly good broth + noodles, a side of pickled cucumbers is an interesting choice - Curry Don Rice Bowl: classic taste with chunks of pork belly, good sauce to rice ratio

Had walked by a few times but a on post gym Trader Joe's run the pictures were enticing enough…read more Got a Lanzhou beef noodle combo with a drink and a lamb burger. The beef soup is clear and light and the noodles have a delightful texture, with a slight chew and good bounce. There's a good portion of braised beef as well. Tender but a bit fatty for my taste, but given the portion it's not going to kill you. Lamb burger ended up as overkill and will be consumed as leftovers but a quick sampling let me know that it's gamey and fatty with strong notes of cumin. Not a bad thing, but something to note for people that might not generally enjoy lamb or cumin. Black pepper beef rice bowl was solid too. Spice wise, you can calibrate accordingly but I'd recommended at least their regular spice level. Decent amount of tenderized but still chewy beef. Both dishes came with a salad of celery, carrot, cucumber, peanuts and seaweed strips in a light sauce. Couldn't quite figure out the sauce but it was lightly tart and refreshing. Space is clean and modern. Neutral wood, well lit. Service is friendly enough. If you dine in, you order at the kiosk and they'll deliver to your table. We had leftovers that they graciously packed up. Solid choice. I hope they stick around as they do bring a different cuisine to the area.

I got the tsukemen and it was all depth but somehow no flavor. Like I could tell the dipping sauce/broth was hitting certain areas of my tastebuds, but taste-wise? Nothing, it was just very deep like nutty but I tasted no nuts and earthy but no taste? The noodles were chewy and perhaps a bit undercooked, and the char-siu oh my god. I'm sure that they must make it themselves and it must be a good quality meat, but it just reminded me of the smoked cured pork meat you can get at the chinese supermarket for like $3.99 that's vaccum sealed. I don't know, I know smoked char-siu is a thing and I usually love it, but I much prefer it being a nice fatty, warm, succulent piece of meat. This was cold hard and lifeless. Everything was also cold??? I've had tsukemen before and the noodles have been cold before but this dipping sauce was lukewarm at best and the meat like it was taken out the fridge and sat for five minutes. Quite literally had to force myself to finish my meal. The cucumbers were good though think it's cool that they did it different from most asian restaurants and could still taste good 5/5 dish. The bamboo shoots were also really nice.
