There is a wall of windows for natural light, plenty of seating options to make for a cozy and intimate ambiance. I love that they showcase art and beautiful fixtures from around the globe. I had the Gochugaru Shrimp (Fusion) and my boyfriend had the Cubano (Cuba). Both were equally delicious. We wanted to get the Gumbo but it was such a favorite over the weekend, they were out. I was impressed with carefully curated menu, great job Chef. This was a short walking distance from my hotel in downtown Grand Rapids and it did not disappoint us! If I every get back to Gran Rapids, i will be back!

Let me say there was absolutely nothing disappointing about this experience. For some idiotic reason I forgot to write down the name of my dish, probably cause I was shoving it into my mouth super fast but the one thing I can tell you was that it was amazing. The sheer mix of flavors was nothing short of a wild disco on my taste buds. It was so amazingly delicious, the service was impeccable and the setting so stunningly beautiful and I can't wait to come back again.

My husband and I came here for a nice date night while we were on vacation in Saugatuck and had a…read moreWONDERFUL time! From the service to the meal to the ambiance, it was all excellent. First off, our server was amazing. I wish I could remember her name but she was nothing short of outstanding. So friendly and welcoming and very attentive, even though it was a Friday night. Our dishes were also delicious. We split a few dishes to start, the crab rangoon and the pork bao. Both were really good and quite a good portion (the bao in particular was really filling). For my entree I went with the Thai chicken coconut curry while my husband went with the orange chicken. I loved my curry and the portion was also quite generous. My husband also liked his orange chicken but he said he enjoyed my curry just a little bit more. The ambiance inside is really cool, too. Dark but not dreary, with lot of pops of light and color. Felt very chic. Overall, a really solid experience and a very welcome addition to Saugatuck since the last time we had visited. Looking forward to another visit next time we're in town!

While sitting here tonight in a Kalamazoo Hotel, it's about 3am and I'm polishing off my dinner…read moreleftovers from DAK GOOD, a Korean Fried Chicken joint. Whenever I'm out of town, I ALWAYS look for a Korean restaurant, and as luck would have it, there are a few in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Yay!! Only thing wrong with my search, two of the three were closing in ten minutes and the third was advertised as Fried Chicken. I was 15 minutes away, so I gave in for the chicken, with fingers crossed that they'd have other popular dish options. Beautiful little restaurant when you arrive, very clean too. Immediately greeted and asked if to-go or dine-in, as they have a good counter for food delivery services. I of course opted to dine-in since I had about an hour til closing. Really nice looking menu, with plenty of selections beyond Fried Chicken. I didn't hesitate too long as to expedite my meal before closing. I ordered Pork Pot Stickers (Yakimandu), JapChae, and some Bulgogi. PanChan was extra, and the Kimchi along with Pickled Radish were my selection. The Yakimandu arrived first, nicely plated with half So Garlic Sauce and half Spicy Sauce. The mandi were delicious with these brushed sauces. That Spicy was no joke either, had a really good burning kick. The remainder of the meal was brought out together. The plates looked great and I couldn't wait to dig in, but if course pictures first. Both were super delicious and really hitting the spot after a long day. Very tasty meals. The staff brought me out a dessert after seeing me take all the photos, something I've never had, Deep Fried Cheesecake. Check out the photos. Definitely a different take on the dessert. Everything outside was crispy, of course, with the inside still the same. It was a texture experience. The staff were super friendly, very well knowledged on the menu items. Place was very clean, not just clean, but very clean! I think they said they've been there just over a year. I was served by Freda, and Caroline was there to assist when needed. The hostess was a real sweetheart, I'll call hers "Zaps" (because she had the TV remote at closing and I missed her real name). Young masked gentleman, again missed name, and one of the owners Kenny and his wife Lin. So good, I will be eating lunch and/or dinner there again tomorrow or Monday depending on time. I definitely want to try the Fried Chicken, probably not with the Spicy Sauce this time. LOL I do highly recommend you try this place if you haven't.

There are plenty of toppings to choose from and everything tastes super fresh. It's like Qdoba/Chipotle style where you pick what sauces and toppings you want then they whip it all together for you. First bite was a flavor explosion and continued throughout both the dishes. Yum yum sauce was on point. Service was quick and friendly. It is a bit pricey but the fiancé treated dinner on this night ;) A friend suggested their nachos which we will have to try next time. The space is shared with Gita Pita so there is a dining area that is in between both restaurants. If you felt like trying two places at once you knock that out by grabbing something from Gita Pita while you wait for your food from Char. Definitely will be back again and I'm glad to finally cross Char off my list!

Luckily, I was able to learn how to order thanks to the nice gentleman in front of me ordering whilst holding a conversation with me. Basically, the set up is a lot like Q-doba. You stand in line, choose your bowl size, choose your proteins and then toppings and sauce. I chose the regular bowl because it had 2 proteins and I just couldn't decide between spicy salmon and spicy tuna. My bowl was delicious! I was impressed with the amount of rice options, the quality of the poke, and the copious amounts of toppings and sauces to choose from. This place was fine for a lunch date where I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in 20+ years. Everything was delicious, though the milk tea with boba was a little too sweet for my taste. Overall, excellent lunch option, albeit a tad expensive for "fast food." My milk tea and regular poke bowl came up to over $22. Certainly worth it, but not a daily go to option on my budget. Def check out poke toki if you're in the area. The food is better than the pun this restaurant is named after. Now turn yourself about, and do the Poke Toki!

I usually get a free truffle for my bday too! :-) The service is pretty constant and so is the food. For Michigan, I'd say the fish is fresh. My fav roll is the rainbow roll. If you don't like fish, I recommend the udon noodles... the have an excellent bite to them. The space inside is a bit chaotic because there's so many tables. But I think a full restaurant is a sign of a vibrant community. Parking is hit or miss in this part of east town, so just plan for that. Now that's it's almost patio season, I would recommend a seat outside if you dine in. Overall a 5/5!
