Honestly, it was so difficult to choose what drink to get because I wanted to get everything on the menu. The bartenders were so attentive and talented - their implementation of each cocktail was even better than the menu descriptions. Not only were the drinks delicious but also beautifully presented.

Sometimes the simplest thing on a menu ends up stealing the show. The atmosphere strikes that perfect Charleston balance of classy, cozy, and effortlessly cool. Great service, great drinks, and one of the most memorable grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had. If you're in Charleston and appreciate a serious cocktail program, The Gin Joint is a must-visit. Come for the drinks, stay because the grilled cheese will ruin lesser grilled cheeses for the rest of your life

We made the reservation months in advance and the morning of, they advised that our reservation was cancelled. Scrambling to find plans and hopefully a pool, one of the girls in our group called Little Palm and they were SO accommodating with our situation and welcomed us. We cannot thank them enough. When we first arrived we sat down and had brunch. I ordered the LP double cheeseburger and the matcha latte. The matcha latte was unimpressive but the cheeseburger was delicious. It hit the spot, especially after a night out. The yucca fries were delicious as well. The portions of all the dishes were great and everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. After we ate, we went over to the pool area and by this point the rain showers were over. Once again, the staff was so nice. Made sure we had towels available and just really turned our day around.

We sat at the indoor bar, and our bartender was great. The drinks themselves were really good. My Hugo Spritz was excellent, and so was the Silk Sheets. They clearly put a lot into the cocktail program, with tons of syrups, ingredients, and more elaborate drinks on the menu. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow, and it seemed very clear that this was not our bartender's fault. The indoor bartender was handling the guests sitting at her bar, service tickets, and drinks for the pool. Meanwhile, the outdoor bartender seemed to have very little going on. Granted, it was over 98 degrees outside, but the workload just seemed really uneven. When we first arrived, it was literally us and one other gentleman at the bar. He wanted an espresso martini or something similar, but apparently the coffee bar had already been shut down for the day. I don't remember the exact reason. They did make it happen for him, which was nice, but it also meant our bartender had yet another thing she had to go out of her way to figure out. What made the wait especially frustrating was that the bar was not busy at the time. It took us around 10 to 15 minutes just to order our drinks, and she didn't actually get a full bar until about 3 to 5 minutes after we finally received them. So this wasn't a situation where she was overwhelmed by a packed bar. She was running out of ice, waiting on things she needed, handling pool and service tickets, and trying to work around a setup that just did not seem efficient. It honestly started to feel almost obnoxious to want to order another round because you could see how much unnecessary work went into making each drink. Again, that is not a criticism of the bartender. She was great and seemed to be doing everything she could. The issue was the setup and flow behind the bar. If you are going to have such an extensive cocktail program, with that many syrups, ingredients, and specialty drinks, the bartenders need to be set up in a way that allows them to actually execute it efficiently. The atmosphere was nice, the drinks we had were great, and I would absolutely give this place another chance. I just hope they figure out a better system because the bartender should not have to work that hard to overcome the setup.

We visited CO, a Vietnamese-Asian fusion restaurant, during Restaurant Week and were very pleasantly surprised. Upon arrival, our waitress seemed a bit dismissive and short, which initially set an uncertain tone for the afternoon. However, to her credit, she completely turned things around -- by the end of the meal, her attentiveness and warmth had greatly improved. The restaurant itself is charming and thoughtfully designed, with two cozy levels that create an intimate yet stylish atmosphere. It's the kind of place that's easy to miss from the outside, but absolutely worth seeking out. Every dish we tried was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of balanced, vibrant flavors. We ordered the Garlic Sesame Tuna Tacos, Tuna Tataki, Mango Summer Rolls, and the Asian Crunch Salad -- each one was excellent in its own way. The plating was artful, and the portions were just right. To accompany our meal, we had an Asian beer and the pineapple-infused sake, both of which were refreshing and paired nicely with the food. Despite a rocky start, the quality of the food, the ambiance, and the staff's recovery made this a memorable dining experience. This hidden gem deserves a visit -- especially if you appreciate creative takes on classic Asian flavors. read more

I went here a few days ago on a Monday. Good crowd and pretty busy but no problem getting seated. It's a small place but very well designed and they have made the most of it. Had a blackberry cocktail, tasty but a little too sweet for me but someone else in my group had it and loved it. Next we had some spring rolls, good as always and we devoured them quickly as we were all hungry. I think we even licked the sauce cups! I almost always get the pad thai, always good, or the Vietnamese chicken salad, again very tasty, but this time I had a curry udon noodle dish and it was excellent. I couldn't decide on 4 or 5 stars but gave a 4 star rating due to the incompetence of our waitress. From start to finish it was like pulling teeth to get anything and at the end of our meal, not only did it take forever to get our check, when it finally came it was for someone else's table so we had to wait again as it was sorted out. Not horrible but when you're ready to leave and it takes another 15 or so minutes it lessens the overall experience. I promise to review my next visit and I'm hopeful they'll get 5 stars next time. I do like this place. read more

Came in during restaurant week and chose 3 courses for $20. Great deal right? Not. I ordered the curry laksa which is pretty delicious however the portion was so small, I only managed to get about 5 regular size grabs from my chopsticks and that was it no more noodles. I'm a fan of the food I received but the portion size just rubbed me the wrong way, I came to be full or at least 70% but left only about 50% full. Thankfully my friend who came got the korean rice bowl shared some of her food otherwise I wouldn't be as full. As for the other items their vietnamese chicken salad and green papaya salad were pretty flavorful again small portion not sure if that is due to the restaurant week but it was a decent size since we were getting a 3 course meal. The beef & kimchi dumplings were decent and the spicy crab Rangoon's were decent as well (how can you go wrong with cream cheese?). Overall I would come back here again because their food was delicious but for restaurant week? No thanks. read more

Stopped in for lunch while walking down King Street. At first we wanted to eat at the bar, but eventually we went up to the larger tables on the second floor. They have community seating, which made it easy for us to pick and choose where my girlfriend and I could sit down. I was very interested in trying out Pho because I wasn't too sure what it was, but had heard that Co was the place to try it. Our waitress Phoebe was excited to explain all the different choices we could have when ordering the pho and I eventually settled on the Spicy Beef Pho, my girlfriend went with the beef pho so we could compare. The server also brought the two house hot sauces and explained each to me. I ended up dumping some of both into the pho because it tasted so great! This was such an enjoyable lunch experience and the accommodating service was definitely noted. Thanks again, Phoebe! We'll be back again! read more

I went to CO a week to two ago with my boyfriend and we LOVED it! We sat at the bar- which I definitely recommend- and ordered drinks and appetizers. We ordered the Beef & Kimchi Dumplings as well as the Spicy Crab Rangoons. Both dishes were delicious and just the right size for sharing. My Jalapeño Guava Margarita was AWESOME! If you like some heat, this drink is for you! Lastly, our bartender, Samantha, truly made our experience a pleasant one. She knew the menu like the back of her hand and she gave us great recommendations- for both food and drinks. She was quick on her feet and very attentive. Although every bar seat was filled, she made us feel like we were the only ones there. Thank you, for a great dinning experience. We will absolutrly be back! read more

This meal was honestly quite a surprise for me. I came in by myself to finish some work documents while also being able to get in a quick lunch. I had never been here, but heard the service was fast and the food was fulling. A server Phoebe (I think), short brown hair, led me to order the Vietnamese coffee after we talked about my project and the stress I was under to finish it. Though she warned me it was at least 10x stronger than normal coffee I dismissed it and thought that all coffee is coffee. Boy was I wrong, this coffee had me so energized it was incredible. After that I could only eat a small amount of food but went by the server' recommendation of the wings. Everything was way better than expected! Thanks Co! read more

Pretty disappointed in my experience at Co. I had heard good things and most of the reviews were good, but my experience did not live up. We ordered for carry out which they said would be ready in 15 minutes. We waited for 10 minutes, got to the restaurant and had to wait another 25 minutes there. I ordered the Thai Green Curry with chicken. When I got home there was no chicken in the curry and it only had a few mushrooms and two small pieces of red peppers when the menu states it should have zucchini, red peppers, onions, mushrooms, and thai basil. It was the worst curry I have ever had and not even close to the curries I have gotten other places in Charleston. Overall a very disappointing experience. read more

Oh man, I have never been so excited about one single dish before in my life and I must pay thanks to the server Phoebe who confidently promised us that we would love it. I loved it to the point where I had my entire whopping bowl of soup and then stole the rest of my wife's bowl. Can't believe I had never ordered this before, but I had always stuck with the classic beef pho, but I'm so glad I was pushed to try something new, which I will now be ordering an embarassing amount of to say the least. Had such a lovely meal, felt very well taken care of. Ask for Phoebe if you're looking for good suggestions, she also perfectly matched me to a Jalapeño guava margarita. Can't wait to come back for happy hour! read more

Recently I was visiting a friend in Charleston & came across this spot on the midday hunt for food. The pad Thai was amazing, but what really makes this spot great is the staff. My waitress, Haleigh, is especially deserving of this praise; she was fantastic. From the very start she was patient while I tried to figure out what I wanted and gave me a great tip on what to get to drink. The food came out quick & she was really on top of the refills (which is paramount to all let's be honest). Taking the extra minute just to check in on everything and the quick small talk was a nice touch as well. I don't write many reviews, but honestly the experience was so great I felt like I had to. read more

Co, highly rated serving Asian food. Every time we'd passed it, it smelled so good, looked great and was crowded. We hadn't wanted to go there since we can get that kind of stuff in Hawaii, but it looked and smelled so good. So we had saimin with the thin brown noodles - my favorite (instead of the whitish-yellow curly kind) - with chicken slices, a cracked egg and bokchoy with lots of cilantro and curry laksa, a perfect adaptation to SC's plentiful and delicious seafood. Anyway, believe it or not, it was better than anything we've had in Hawaii! read more

The menu was a bit confusing overall - everything is family style and ordered for the table and brought out in courses. I'm usually a big fan of family style except their menu was a little hard to tell what was 1st, 2nd and main course. Since it was just 2 of us we ordered 4 items and it was plenty of food. We started with the cornbread and I will say - literally the best cornbread I've ever had in my life. Not exaggerating, I would eat a full meal of just this cornbread. Then we got the pork dumplings which were great - they did have a tiny bit of spice so be cognizant of that if you're super sensitive. Then we got the Dan Dan Noodles, they were a bit underwhelming to me - they sounded better than they actually were and for the price, it really seems to be bare minimum noodle / meat. Lastly we got the Karrage chicken which was a fried chicken bite with a lemon sauce. The chicken was very tough and over fried which made it tough to eat. The service was wonderful and the waitress was super helpful in helping us understand the menu and recommending items for us to try!

This IS disclosed on their website but I don't feel this should be charged to customers. I tipped a little less because of this.

I'm a huge fan of Kwei Fei so I was excited to give this place a try! The menu is very good about…read moregiving you options without the super spicy things, so there are items for everyone. I was with a larger group so we ordered lots of things off the menu. Our waitress was excellent and she was able to answer a lot of questions for us, specially about the spice levels and amount of food to order. The pork dumplings and the Hong Kong noodles were the standouts for me. The sweet and sour fish cheeks were good, but I didn't get much sweet or sour. The crab fried rice was different as well, very interesting with the crab gravy. We had a couple of cocktails that aren't pictured because we sucked those bad boys down. They were really good. Overall, nothing was bad but I wasn't blown away.

This weekend we had the pleasure to try Bar Weems on Reynolds Ave in North Charleston. They don't…read moretake reservations, so it was first come first served. They did have ample parking which was nice. We could tell right off the bat that this place was something extra as it was completely packed and stayed that way. There is no take out or delivery because the owner wants you to taste his food fresh out of the kitchen. Since the word Bar is in the name we had to of course indulge in a few cocktails. My wife tried the Endserenading with wasabi infused tequila, guava, lime with a freeze-dried lime and guava pearls. Not only did it taste light and fruity, but it also looked inviting, I tried the Winners Never Quit jasmine tea infused bourbon and yuzu sake which was also flavorful and playfully decorated with a leaf cloths pinned to the rim. We decided to try the koji focaccia with whipped miso butter. All I can say is wow! Light, warm and so pillowy fluffy. We said we were not going to fill up on bread, but it was too good to not finish! They offer three kinds of Karaage, so we tried all three. The Classic had a nice spice profile and was a generous portion. The Kewpie Japanese mayo added extra depth. The Evil truly lived up to its name as when you start to eat it you feel nothing and then you get hit with a freight train of back heat! Super spicy but still tasty, nonetheless. Be sure to have a cold beverage on hand. Our favorite though was the Snow cheese with a special cheese power. It was a delight with the cheese slightly melting into the crispy skin for a satisfying bite. His go to Ramen is the shoyu ramen with light chicken broth, dashi, green onion, chashu, bamboo shoots, and an egg, The broth is steeped a full 24 hours, and you can tell when you taste it. All the ingredients are cooked to perfection with the egg yolk being nice and gooey, but the broth will have you coming back again and again. I could not put it down. Possibly the best I have had so far. The vibe is funky, the staff is super friendly, and the food will win over your heart!

We started with a couple cocktails and handful of appetizers to share. Hunter was wonderful and took great care of us. Koji foccacia was excellent, but just a bit TOO salty. Texture and flavors were spot on, but the batch we got in some bites had just too much salt. The pickled Woodear mushrooms were so tasty, we got some rice and seaweed to wrap it up and altogether was delicious! Curry potatoes very flavorful and on point. Of course we couldn't decide so we tried all 3 karaage - classic, evil (BEWARE it's ) and snow cheese. All very different but very good. That evil one lingers in your mouth for a bit! My friend got the shoyu ramen that they're known for and I got the miso because I enjoy a creamier broth. Both had distinctive flavors but tasty overall. Hunter convinced us to try the red bean crème brûlée that he concocted himself so we had to! Ooooweee that thing was delicious! Who knew red bean would go so well with it, the flavors and textures complimented one another. We had a really nice time here and will definitely come back!

LOCATION: Located in a plaza in Mt Pleasant, parking may be hard to find when it gets busy…read more SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT: Great service, waited about 15-20 mins on a busy Monday night for Happy Hour (Half Off Sushi!) Tess was kind and friendly and great interior vibe like a sports hub and plenty of seating outdoors and live music. Great environement and service overall! Food took no longer than 15-20 mins to come out, with a ton of sushi ordered. FOOD: All Signature Sushi and regular Sushi was Half-Off! It comes down to aboiut 7-8$ per roll and $4 for regular california roll or spicy tuna roll. INSANE PRICES! Sushi pieces are a bit skinny and if you get a lot, it comes a massive platter. Nigiri and Sashimi were decently big as well for a good price. Overall, great sushi, delicious flavors and combinations unique to Mt. Pleasant. Highly recommend!

I stopped in for a quick bite and left pleasantly surprised. My server, Michael, had me seated…read moreright away and, when I asked for recommendations, demonstrated an impressive familiarity with the menu. On his suggestion, I ordered the Steak Chimichurri Taco and The Hangover. Each was distinctive enough to deserve its own mention. The steak in the Steak Chimichurri Taco was exceptionally tender and full of flavor. What impressed me most was how thoughtfully the toppings complemented the beef rather than competing with it. The goat cheese was just assertive enough to stand out without overpowering the other ingredients, creating a layered, well-balanced bite that kept me coming back for another. The Hangover was equally memorable--and completely unexpected. Had I actually read the menu instead of putting my trust in Michael, I probably wouldn't have been quite as surprised. Fortunately, I did, because his recommendation was spot on. Once again, I was treated to a wonderful balance of flavors and textures. And there's something undeniably satisfying about seeing a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg crowning a taco. FOOD - 10:10 Michael struck exactly the right balance between being attentive and giving me space to enjoy my meal. He knew the menu well, answered my questions confidently, and his recommendations couldn't have been better. SERVICE - 10:10 The atmosphere was every bit as enjoyable as the food. The music was at the perfect volume, the playlist fit the space well, and the lighting was bright enough to feel welcoming without being harsh. It's the kind of place where you could comfortably have a business lunch just as easily as a date night. AMBIANCE - 10:10 Will I be back? Absolutely. If you haven't been here yet, I'd suggest making this your next excuse to treat yourself. Bon appétit.

As a lychee martini lover, they're harder to find the further away from Miami I get so I was so happy to see it here on the menu!! Several of the girls in our group decided we would split the sushi boat and it was a great decision. We all picked rolls we wanted and they came out so pretty and tasted really fresh. Some other girls ordered their own dishes and enjoyed them as well. One girl in our group ordered the birria ramen and she loved it. She said it was SPICY and the best ramen she's ever had. As a non- spicy person, I had to take her word for how good it was. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area! We were dressed up but it seems pretty casual.

My friends ordered the crispy rice, nachos, and quesadilla and all were great! Not terribly over busy. One downside - we were sat by the gong and after something (couldn't figure out fully what that was make a sake shot) they get to ring the gong. Make sure you pack your earplugs if sat below it like we were!
