    Bus your own food
    Esther F.

    This place is super new so we went to go check it out. It seems like they're still a little disorganized, but the food was decent and the service was good. There are also a lot of marinated meats you can buy. We tried the Rangooni Burmese Paratha because I was intrigued there was a callout from a chef. I honestly would not get it again, the paratha was too thick and doughy, though the flavor was good. It came in a to-go container which was weird. I think this is where they are still a bit new and disorganized. We also tried the brisket plate, and it was surprisingly delicious. The flavors are Middle Eastern, so when they ask what sauce you want, I would recommend the garlic sauce, not the BBQ sauce since it is not American style. Speaking of sauces, they give way too little sauce in this tiny cup, I would have liked bigger containers of sauce. But I do recommend the garlic sauce, it was delicious. I really liked that there was ice in the water jugs. You also have to bus your own food after you're done. Another random thing I noticed was the paint job on the wall, it had huge streaks in them in a true DIY fashion. Props to them for cutting costs in the paint job though. Overall I would come back and try some other stuff and I recommend trying the food here.

    Malai chicken

    Great restaurant in a really convenient spot! I've been there twice now and got a chance to try a lot of the menu. The brisket sandwich and the malai chicken khati roll are my favorite. The malai chicken with rice is good too but the khati roll combines the onions and chutneys better in my opinion. Butter chicken and channa were okay but those NAAN! They were delicious!!! It's a great spot for large groups and has a casual vibe with self order option on the iPad. It'll be a staple, so glad they keep halal!

    I wanted to try a new restaurant and we chose the Char House for lunch. Walking in, it's so new and clean and spacious for the area. We were greeted by a friendly face, and helped us with accommodations. Altogether, the food was tasty. Our first two dishes arrived immediately. The second two dishes arrived an hour later. The second two dishes were wrong. We ordered the ground chicken skewer but the grilled chicken skewer arrived and because the food was so late, he ate it anyway. I requested for no fries, but there were fries on my plate, so I ate around the fries. The sharwmas were a little too salty. I would try my dish again, but I'll wait for the kitchen to get into their groove.

    Chicken tikka Kathi roll
    Stephanie C.

    Came here for lunch to try out this new spot. We were instantly greeted and seated. You order from a QR code at the table. If you need a physical menu they have those too. I didn't realize this, but they have a whole back section of the restaurant that's essentially a butcher shop selling halal meats. We ordered the chicken shawarma roll, chicken tikka Kathi roll, and the Turkish borek pie. The food did take a little while to come out. The dishes came with fries and side cucumber/tomato. The rolls were really good -- the chicken was very tender. The pie was ok; it was a bit cold in the middle, but the flavors were good. We will definitely be back to try some of their entrees!

    Halal Brisket
    Eastbayking R.

    Tried the brisket at The Char House - Meat Market & Grill Restaurant and it was excellent. The meat was tender, juicy, and had a great smoky flavor. Each slice had a nice bark on the outside with slightly charred ends that locked in the juices. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the San Ramon area and craving good brisket.

    Fhd A.

    Definitely will recommend this place. The brisket was amazing. Fresh and Service was excellent. I hope this place always is here. We needed a place like this around this area would highly recommend.

Their standard menu is consistently good but appreciate the change of unique flavors and sauces that gets me to try something new.

I do miss their earlier house-made pimento cheese, offered on their Free Range Ranch sandwich which included crispy chicken, bacon, tangy slaw, and that amazing pimento cheese. So bummed they removed it from their menu! Kiosk or counter service available for ordering. I use the app as it's easy to use and minimizes wait time. Location clean, service friendly and efficient.

They have kind of weird hours - closed for two days and they are closed early. I ordered their The Original Delivery, which comes with chicken with skin, jasmine rice, ginger scallion sauce, and a broth. The chicken was pretty dry, even with the ginger scallion sauce - the sauce had weird lingering taste to it that did not taste like the typical ones at other restaurants. The rice and broth were alright - not the best, but not the worst either. I remember having them at Westfield Valley Fair and they were a lot better than this location. There are other restaurants that have a similar dish to this that I had that is of better quality and quantity at the a similar price point. Overall, it was not the best experience, so I do not think I would be back to this location again.

I have a high spiciness tolerance, and let me tell you, the "hot" is hot! I left very satisfied because most places that say "hot" just wind up being mild to me, lol.

You literally get a chicken tender strip inside your slider. I got Non Spicy which meant the breading wasn't seasoned. Added some Dave's sauce and drizzled some honey. It was yummy. DD ordered the #1 which was like mine without the slider bun. Instead got sliced bread underneath it. She enjoyed it. Hubs ordered #3 which came with a both of ours. He was sweating from HOT level of spice. Next was Extra HOT and then Reaper, which you have to sign a waiver for apparently. Overall, very good. Will be back when we're craving this again

    They have good ol' school yangnyeum (sweet/spicy) flavor I grew up with in Korea!…read more I ordered online since I saw that it would take 20-25 minutes, according to the online platform. It was perfect timing and they graciously allowed me to switch to dining in. There are 4 tables inside so it is a bit cozy but they have a setup convenient for immersive but messy chicken eating - such as, disposable gloves and a mini-trash can. I would have dined in their shaded patio but it was getting chilly out. When I wrapped the rest of my chicken after my fill, they added an extra radish pack which I appreciated! I did notice another party who mentioned their chicken was too bland. I wasn't sure which flavor(s) they ordered, but after experiencing that their yangnyeum flavor is what I consider "OG" (more subtle, not overly sweet/spicy) I can understand. At the same time, I think this is the charm of this place that I do find most other Korean franchises try to match the current "trendy" palate that is sometimes too much for me. Thanks ttobongee for sticking with the traditional yangnyeum - really hard to come by now, especially here in the States.

My friends and I ended up sitting and eating since we didn't check beforehand. The portions are huge! It was a bit funny because one of the plates had a regular sized chicken drumstick hidden under all of the plumped up ones. While the sauces were great, I personally liked the Yangnyum the best! It had a sweet, tangy flavor to it. It's a small chicken shop great for to-go meals. Despite this, they still kept it clean and bright inside. Recommend for those looking for something to takeout!
