    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.

    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).

    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

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    OMG-I just enjoyed one of the most delicious and flavorful Ahi Tuna Poke Bowls EVER!!! Run, don't…read morewalk to try this! It was so delicious. See my photos. The Ahi Tuna was the perfect and proper color it should be. The flavors were SPECTACULAR-WONDERFUL!!! NOTE: WAGAMAMA has added to their menu, since my last visit, so you now have a RAMEN SELECTION, and other yummy additions. I was too full from my spectacular Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl to try the Korean bbq Chicken Wings ($8.95) but, I will definitely be back to try them!! I'll post menu photos so you have an idea of the delicious food choices. (April 2026) My very first delicious bite of Ahi Tuna had a heavenly garlic flavor, it was wonderful, and the sweet green seaweed with rice only added to the wonderfulness. Vertical slices of cucumber, onion and scallion, also add deliciously to my wonderful Poke Bowl. Toasted sesame seeds, too. SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!! Remember to be sure to mix the poke bowl rice as you eat, so that you mix the rice with the yummy sauce that may accumulate at the bottom of the poke bowl. I usually eat a little while, THEN, mix the rice. This was so good, I had to eat, eat, eat, before I could stop to mix. LOL. That sweet green seaweed was so yummy!! A lovely mix of flavors...the garlic, the sweetness....I LOVED IT ALL SO MUCH!!!! When was the last time you enjoyed a dish so very much that you felt like standing up in the restaurant and telling everyone: THIS IS SOOO DELICIOUS!!!! Well, I felt like that, but I didn't stand up and tell everyone, but I did tell the manager, who happen to come to the table to ask how everything was. And I let him know how much I was enjoying the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. He explained why and how the tuna was so flavorful. We had a delightful brief foodie chat. What a joy!! The service is very nice here. I like the atmosphere too. And the music, which is cool; it does not interfere with thinking, or having a conversation. I really like it here . The women's rest room was very nice, and clean, with a Dyson Hand Dryer, so no paper towels on the floor. Yay! Helping our environment, too!! And I like the black and white wall paper, too. See my photos My last visit I enjoyed the Pad Thai, and the same non-alcoholic beverage, " Asian Mint Limeade", from the MINDFUL DRINKS area on the beverage menu. ($9.50) (April 2026). A nice treat! It does have a light carbonation (bubbles). This visit my delicious meal was from the BOWLS SECTION of the food menu, it was the AHI TUNA POKE BOWL ($17.95) (April 2026) With warm, and hot weather on the way, I know I will be enjoying this AHI TUNA POKE BOWL again...and again! If you love good food, good service, and a very cool environment, put this location of WAGAMAMA on your list ! (East side) LOCATED On THIRD AVE, at East 39th Street. There is OUTDOOR SEATING, too, with red umbrellas. See my photos. Enjoy yourself here. Totally delightful. There are several locations in Manhattan. I did not know that. So, the one I have dined at is ON THIRD AVENUE, at EAST 39th Street. Look for the Red Umbrellas outside, at the corner of East 39th Street and Third Avenue. Enjoy!!!

I came…read morehere for dinner without a reservation on a Friday night, and I had a great meal and experience. It's not too big inside, but the tables are decently spaced out. There is also bar seating. It's a bit tricky figuring out what to do with your coats since the chairs aren't really meant to hang winter coats on, but there is a clothing rack in the back that someone can help you with. Everything is ordered via your phone using Toast Tab which was convenient since you didn't have to wait for your server. There was also happy hour when we arrived (6:15pm) so we ordered two hand rolls ($5 each). We ordered the chirashi bowl and the shoyu ramen. I thought the portion sizes were good and I loved the texture of the noodles in the ramen as well as my selection of fish. For dessert, we ordered the hojicha pudding which was delicious as well.

We were guided toward the back, past white marble tables with beautiful mustard colored velvet chairs to the long countertop facing the open kitchen. We scanned QR codes to pull up the menu, and despite no omakase noodle offerings to be found, decided to stay because the menu options they did have sounded too good to pass up. Of course they had classic shio and miso ramens, but they also had a duck tsukumen, a red snapper ramen, a black truffle ramen, and the dish I set my sights on-- the uni mazemen. There were also lots of appetizers and a long list of high end onigiri featuring proteins like scallop lemon shio, A5 wagyu ponzu, and bluefin chutoro on offer. This place was the real deal. Our group shared the tebasaki wings-- so crispy and so flavorful, I could have inhaled a whole plate of these. The salmon, ikura, and apple appetizer that was served in a glass chalice was superb but even better was the bluefin tuna avocado sashimi with wasabi. That one was a winner across the board. And then my uni mazemen, which really stole the show. There was a very generous portion of uni that mixed with the savory sauce and al dente ramen noodles perfectly. This dish was rich, unctuous, and fresh and definitely delivered in value, though it was double the price of most other noodle bowls. Uni is a delicacy. Having just returned from a second trip to Japan I can say this place is really as good as any restaurant I visited in Japan, and it's right here in Murray Hill. These Murray Hill bros are lucky.
