The fried rice bowls are made fresh and have an incredibly light taste, not oily. At the suggestion of the chef, I added the house Yum Yum sauce and kimchi to my fried rice bowl — a must-have.
The ingredients are fresh and visible for you to choose from, too. The chef also gave me a taste of their Korean-inspired chicken tacos, and, as one of the reviewers said, these are life-changing tacos.

Great little place! My wife and I happened to be downtown and decided to grab dinner while we were here.
Found Char on the map and decided to give it a try.
Very glad we did!
My wife got a sajiya bowl with lamb. The lamb was cooked right then and there and she loved it!
I got the shrimp fried rice bowl and it was very good. Great taste.
You can add different toppings and one of the employees suggested mixing 2 of the sauces. He was right, they worked well together.
They have coke products- both bottles and fountain.
The garlic sauce is also awesome.
Give this place a try!

They saved my company holiday party after our caterer dropped out at the last minute. Abdul worked with me to get a menu figured out then delivered and set everything up. The food was AMAZING!! Can't wait to go visit the restaurant next time 😄

This place wasn’t too bad. Bought the broth bowl with chicken and expected to slam it down based on what it looked like. But the truth is, the flavor profile was okay, the presentation was nice, and the vegetables were fresh. However, I would have liked to see a bit more broth in the bowls.
The pricing is a bit expensive, in my opinion, but the overall meal was decent. Check them out and see what you think. As always, happy eating. Enjoy!

Very good place! 1st time for me, my wife goes often with her work team downtown and wanted me to try. Great service and food. She had her normal 2 chicken tacos, I did the triple; 1 chicken, 1 steak & 1 shrimp. I didn't need 3 but all were good. Chicken best, steak next. My wife likes the veggy bowls (same as tacos but with lettuce). I want to try the rice bowl. Highly recommend.
They have a gyro place attached and I want to try that next time. Supposed to be great too.

When you come here, you have to try everything! It is all amazing! The tacos are some of the best I’ve ever had! They are so full of flavor and the ingredients are so fresh! The owners have done an amazing job adding a twist on tacos! There are so many flavor options to try! Then there are broth bowls! You can have chicken, beef, or vegan broth. You will be so full after eating one of these! They are absolutely delicious! I get one every time I go! There are also fresh salads with different options for greens. The owner is a great guy and loves helping you find your new favorite! Definitely give this place a try!

Here is 3 chicken tacos with a mix of the mild and spicy slaw , topped with cilantro/onion/ chess with the homemade yum yum sauce mixed with a sweet teriyaki sauce! 10/10 🔥 Got a coke and tipped, $18.84 out the door.

It's connected to Gita Pita which had better AC and included artprize features. Really really good food and the atmosphere was great

Took one bite and immediately had to come here for a 5 star. The service was SO friendly and quick. The food is fresh and smells amazing. Everything is house made. It feels chaotic adding Asian flavors into tacos, or putting American touches into Asian themes, but it is the chaos you need in your life. I am so obsessed and if I lived closer, I would probably eat here every week.

Was actually going to grab something else and went into the wrong door and lucky for me I found Char!! I had no idea what to order and they recommended. I try the nachos so I went with the nachos and they completely blew my mind probably one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had in my life, so I am so grateful for my mistake and I am definitely coming back.!!

Stopped in for takeout. Got the shrimp tacos and loaded wonton nachos with steak. The tacos were great but the nachos were ridiculously good. Absolutely love the food here.

It took long enough to finally try this place... They are an extension of gita pita which is my ultimate fav for Mediterranean food, and my must stop if I'm in the area. Now I'll have to get a pita and taco when stopping in lol
The tacos were AMAZING, they have vegan and veg options which makes this vegetarian ecstatic!! You Have to try the teriyaki and yum yum sauce together on the tacos, corn tortillas all the way, best I've had in a while. The fried wonton was also another yummy twist, egg roll filled with cheese!

New fav taco/fried rice joint to get some much needed lunch grub downtown. If you haven't popped in and got urself what I mentioned in the beginning your missing out.
Laura
OMG there was a snafu with the Uber driver and he apparently picked up the wrong order. Well! The owner of Char personally drove over to my house to deliver the food I ordered. I'm so impressed with the level of quality and care at Char. Love this place. Amazing food, always fresh, super tasty!
Kayla Henneman
One of the best resturants in Grand Rapids. The Korean tacos are a 12/10.
Definitely need to stop in to order. Abdul, the owner, is so friendly and always behind the grill. I cannot recommend enough. Don't forget to grab a punch card on the way out!
Christina Warholic
Staff was super helpful in helping me decide what I wanted and food came out so fast. The staff recommendations were good! Loved the tacos, but the bowl was good too. Definitely will be back.

Prices are a little on the high side but the tacos are AMAZING. Listen to the people working the food, they make the right suggestions. This place is a definite addition to the regular stops.
