I came here for dinner during the spring / summer and left me with amazing memories. I came with my two close friends and we had such a good time. The staff was so well attentive and organized and also super friendly towards us and took care of us well! When i entered it reminds me of a friends house in old nostalgic fashion and I really enjoyed how intimate it feels! After we had some soju we quickly ordered and food came out pretty fast! We basically almost ordered everything! They're pretty small in dishes so it's perfect to share between 2-3 people. If you have more you'd probably need an extra plate. The popcorn chicken was super yummy and I love the styling they have for movie popcorn but it's chicken! Super cute and quirky way of serving this. Another fun quirky thing is that they put the toast roll in a little egg roll bag that says c as in Charlie which was super fun. This was actually their take on an egg/spring roll and it was SO YUM. The salmon crudo was fresh and yummy - simple but cute! I like that they use mayo and simple seasoning for this as it is well needed amongst the heavily seasoned popcorn chicken and toast roll. We also had the ricotta toast during this time and that was pretty good too. For mains we ordered oxtail cream pasta and the Salisbury steak which was pretty good! I definitely liked the oxtail cream pasta better but one of my Korean friends who come here often is obsessed with the Salisbury steak. In the end of the meal you only really have two options for dessert and the fun option is the b as in banana! We got to draw on it and it was a super fun time with friends. They were busy but they don't kick people out which I love because it's hard to leave. All the dishes were super fun and promising I think this place doesn't scream Michelin in food but it's Michelin in soul! read more

My friend heard good things about C as in Charlie and wanted to try it, so the three of us made a reservation a couple Mondays ago. It's a Korean and Southern fusion restaurant where each dish is roughly tapas-sized. The interior is on the smaller side, but it felt warm and intimate. Our server took our orders quickly, and we even got complimentary sake shots before our food came out. I'm a bit of a lightweight, so I was already feeling a teeny bit woozy a few minutes later. Between the three of us, we shared five tapas: FLUKE CEVICHE - 17 Five pieces of fluke swimming in leche de tigre (a citrusy sauce), along with diced tomatoes and pickled onions. The fluke was firm and light in flavor, which contrasted nicely with the bright marinade and pungent onions. This was fine, but not the most memorable ceviche I've had. POPCORN CHICKEN - 17 The popcorn chicken is one of their most popular tapas, and it was a favorite among our table. The chicken was freshly made -- crispy, juicy, sweet, and saucy. My only qualm was that it was a little too sweet, although my friends didn't seem to mind. OXBONE CREAM PASTA - 16 This was a pretty standard white-sauce pasta. I'm not entirely sure where the oxbone comes into play (maybe in the sauce) but it wasn't prominent enough for us to notice. Still, it was creamy and addictive, with generous amounts of bacon and scallion that added plenty of flavor. MUSHROOM BIBIMBAP - 18 This was easily my favorite tapa. The bibimbap was incredibly umami-forward and loaded with different varieties of mushrooms. The poached egg on top was the cherry on top, adding even more creaminess. I'd highly recommend this if you love mushrooms. SEOUL'SBURY STEAK - 16 The hamburger steak itself was just okay and pretty forgettable, but as a huge fan of grits, I loved the grits. They were made with gruyere, which made them rich and cheesy. Overall, the food was pretty good, and nothing we ordered was bad. The pasta and bibimbap were definitely the highlights for me, although I wouldn't say any of the dishes were particularly mind-blowing. C as in Charlie might actually be more memorable for its sheer amount of randomness. At some point during dinner, I went to use the bathroom and noticed a video projected onto the wall. It showed a guy sitting on a 90s-style sofa surrounded by 90s-style decor, casually reciting... numbers. While I was already a little buzzed from the sake, I sat there wondering why I was hearing, "1759... 1777... 1783..." until it finally clicked. They were all prime numbers. So there I was, slightly tipsy, sitting in a restaurant bathroom listening to a random man reciting prime numbers on a wall. I have no idea what the artistic vision was here, but I suppose it succeeded in being memorable. read more

Super cute, chill spot with comfort tapas! Their dishes are korean inspired with southern influence. It's been hard to get a reservation here and I finally snagged one. Did a casual, cozy little anniversary date with the hubs here and it was such a fun experience and evening. Good for casual date nights and good spot to come with friends for a fun night. All the servers were attentive and so chill! That's the whole vibe of this place -- chill. Their food was sooo good! Our server helped us with our ordering since it was our first time, but we didnt go with one of her salad recs, which we really should've lol. We need to go back to try the rest of their menu. We were just sooo hungry and wanted everything on their menu. We may have gone a little overboard on all the heavy dishes lol. But I'd literally order every single dish again. We got the: Popcorn chix - they just make it PERFECT. Sauce is so well balanced and the chicken pieces are fried and tender. Green tomato hot pocket - better than a hot pocket! Cheesy, thick, filling, but doesn't make you feel gross. Toast roll - YES. I'd order again. Has shrimp in it. Oxbone cream pasta - SO GOOD. It's creamy but also light. Mushroom bibimbap - i really enjoyed this. Lots of mushrooms, a runny egg, rice, and stuff. Mummy. We needed something healthy haha. Seouls'bury steak - SOOO good. It's definitely a heavy dish, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The grits on the bottom were delightful as well. I would say all the dishes can be shared amongst 2 to 4 ppl. They gave us a little soju shot to start our evening and also one to end our evening for our little anniversary. We wanted to try their desserts (!!!), but we were overly full. We'll be returning to try the rest of their menu and their desserts. Loved the food, the experience, the vibes. read more

I came here for dinner recently and had an absolute blast. The space is cozy inside but if you come in the summer, they have tons of outdoor space. It's vibrant, casual, and a great restaurant with friends. Service was super friendly and quick. This restaurant is Korean-Southern fusion and tapas style. They recommend 2-3 plates per person and we ended up ordering 7 plates and both desserts. The highlights of the meal were the popcorn chicken, oxbone cream pasta, and ribs. However, everything was fairly good and the perfect size for tapas style sharing. Loved both desserts and the drawing on their cake was so fun. Would definitely love to come back sometime to try more of their menu items. read more

Came with a reservation on a weeknight. Pretty busy, service on the slower side. Had high hopes but unfortunately didn't enjoy most items we ordered. All the dishes are small so they suggest ordering 2-3 dishes per person. - Mushroom bibimbap: very soy sauce heavy. Beautiful presentation but there wasn't anything special about this dish, just tasted like mushrooms over rice. - Popcorn chicken: tastes exactly how it looks. Not a fan of the sweet sauce personally, though can see this being popular among others. - Seoulsbury steak: probably my second favorite dish. Patty was very tender but no special flavors going on. - Ribs: literally fall off the bone. Super tender and smokey, highlight dish. Very small portions though, felt more like a tasting than an entree. Overall felt like a very American take on Korean fusion. read more

Easily one of my favorite dining experiences of my life. I went here with my wife seeking a quality date night on a budget. We made our reservation a few days out -- be sure to do this! This spot fills up quickly, and for good reason! We were greeted by a very friendly server and were given complimentary shots of soju. It was superb! We went ahead and ordered an assortment of items (they recommend two or three per person, which I think is perfect). The dishes range from $10 to $20 or so, and we ordered both desserts. A few pics attached to this review. A few notes: 1) get the deli bagel. Just do it. I promise, it's worth your time! 2) I highly recommend the potato nuggets, popcorn chicken, and hot pocket; 3) sweet tea is a win if you're a sweet tea person; 4) go to the bathroom at some point. A note on ambiance: be prepared for a decently small dining room with very dim lighting. Vibes were phenomenal though. Prepare for a very comfy, somewhat loud, yet vibrant sitting area, and bring your sense of humor...this will make sense later :) From start to finish, C as in Charlie provided a really entertaining dining experience. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

there's often a long wait for C as in Charlie, but late on a Friday night we were able to get seated without a wait or reservation. we were there at around 10PM and there was a bit of a rush to get our order in as it seems like the kitchen closes at 10:30 despite the restaurant closing at 11:30. our waitress was veryy friendly, quite the chatter, and gave some recs for our order. we were also given sake shots when seated which was a nice touch. the ceviche was the star of the meal, the fluke crudo with the citrus and tiger milk was perfection. only qualm was how small it was, not really able to share with anymore than two people. frankly could have had two of them myself. the toast roll was not quite what we were expecting. it was a deep fried toast-like roll filled with minced shrimp on top of a creamy sweet chili dressing. there was some pickled onion to breakup the heaviness of it, but not my favorite item flavor wise. the mushroom bibimbap was delish, the rice/mushrooms were buttery, and there was a nice contrast with the soy and pickled onion. the potato nuggets were super crispy fingerling potatoes with a truffle mayo that was one of the best dipping sauces I've ever had. overall a really solid small plate spot! it's a smaller space, but they're efficient in getting your order, food & water refills. enough variety on the concise menu for someone of any dietary need to have at least and item or two. read more

The Green Pea Salad and Baby Back Ribs were standout dishes. The Tofu Ricotta Spread was underseasoned for my taste, while the Seoul'sbury Steak and Corn Mac & Cheese were good but not especially memorable. The Mushroom Bibimbap was salty/ deep soy-forward flavors. The waiter mentioned that portions are small and recommended ordering 2-3 dishes per person. The seating was tight and uncomfortable, but overall the menu was interesting. read more

D as in Delicious!!!! THANK YOU SOPHIE for being such an AMAZING AND SWEET host!!! Highly highly highly recommend the mushroom bibimbap. To be honest, this was the dish that I was least excited about because I thought to myself, it's just mushrooms. But I was so pleasantly surprised and so blown away. The flavors are delicious and I would certainly come back for this dish again. **FOOD HACK - order the corn-y salad and make lettuce boats w the corn and mushroom bibimbap. Flavors goes crazy!!!!!!*** Second favorite had to be the snow crudo. Such a unique way to present scallops! They had pieces of thinly sliced radish and it was such a pleasant texture and flavor contrast paired w the scallops The toast roll, you can't go wrong with it. Who doesn't like fried items? I appreciate the shell, because it's not a spring roll wrapper or a wonton wrapper. I was wondering what it was made of... but regardless, still delicious Oxbone cream pasta was my least favorite. Not because it wasn't good but because compared to the other dish presentations, seemed basic. Didn't taste much of the Oxbone They give you a welcome shot, and I would definitely make a reservation if you're thinking about coming here. read more

C as in Charlie is the kind of place that feels like a dinner party hosted by your coolest friend. This Korean fusion tapas spot delivers creative, shareable plates packed with flavor. The mushroom dish was an absolute standout, and the pea salad was fresh, bright, and surprisingly addictive. The whipped ricotta with citrus and toast was simple but unforgettable. Loved the Blueberry Floral Mockly too. It's rare to find a non-alcoholic drink that feels just as thoughtful as the food. A special shoutout to Daisy, who took great care of us. She was warm, friendly, and made the whole experience feel welcoming from start to finish. And dessert? B as in Banana stole the show. Comforting, playful, and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Cozy space, fun vibes, inventive food, and plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. C as in Charlie doesn't take itself too seriously, but the food is seriously good. read more

I loved the food and service and the vibe. We ate here in the summer and the tables were outside. All the food was delicious but they are more modern versions of the traditional Korean food. We would go back again. They even had the traditional summer treat watermelon. The restroom was also very intriguing worth a visit. Unusual and something to see. I am glad I saw this vibe going in on our way to another restaurant. It is a cool experience! A must go to! read more

C as in Charlie has a lot of fun little touches. They give you a complimentary shot of sake when you sit down and dum dum pops on your way out. The food is really well done, though it runs a bit heavy. My favorite was the oxbone cream pasta, a twist on Korean ox bone soup and one of the more interesting dishes I've had recently. The B as in banana dessert is interactive where you decorate it yourself, which was a nice surprise. Service was amazing and attentive the whole time. The bathroom also has a Vsauce video projected on the wall which was funny. Would come back if I'm in the area. read more

I wish I lived in C as in Charlie. I'm always looking for a cozy Asian-American joint with elevated, inventive food that looks like it could be my living room if I was cooler and had better taste in interiors. C as in Charlie delivers in an intimate venue and the nicest staff who help deliver some of the best food I've had in NYC. I love popcorn chicken but it can't be too sweet or too saucy or too spicy, or whatever. C as in Charlie's chicken is perfect -- platonic ideals of boneless nuggets coated in sauce. Excellently done. Everything else we had was equally incredible, including the complimentary sake shot that we received. We also had a house makgeolli that was delicious and quite strong (danger!!) Definitely get the Deli Bagel, no spoilers but it is a show-stopper and must-have. Will come again if we get lucky enough to snag another reservation! read more

C as n Charlie is a fun place to catch up with friends, and have some creative Korean tapas dishes. I'd say overall, the presentation of the dishes and environment of the atmosphere stand out more than the taste of the dishes themselves (although don't get me wrong, they are still quite tasty). We ordered the toast roll, popcorn chicken, seoul'sbury steak, oxbow cream pasta, and mushroom bibimbap. The popcorn chicken had a very cute presentation, but the chicken wasn't super crispy so would probably pass on this next time. The oxytone cream pasta, mushroom bibimbap, and toast roll were probably my favorite dishes! I was running a bit late to my reservation, and the staff were super accommodating. Really great service and enjoyed the cozy environment, but food itself didn't particularly stand out to me. read more

C as in Charlie is D as in delightful. This restaurant has a lively, packed yet intimate interior. Outside seating along the street is also available. My daughter had come once before and declared it one of her favorite meals since moving to NYC! Naturally, we came here for our first dinner in the big apple. Our dining experience hit all the marks. Terrific service provided. They greet you warmly and offer a welcome shot of sake. Food is shared family style tapas. Don't let the small plates fool you - you'll eat to your hearts content and then some. Our group of 4 ordered: beet hummus, popcorn chicken, mushroom bibimbap, potato nuggets, toast roll, imbibe cream pasta, green tomato hot pocket and seoul'sbury steak. Then B as in banana for dessert. The dishes came out quickly in steady succession soon after we ordered. All were flavorful, well prepared with great presentation. My favorites were the toast roll, oxbone pasta, potato nuggets, and popcorn chicken. The bibimbap was also a big hit. Wonderful meal and experience! read more

Most important thing I'd want someone to know is how loud it is, so that they're prepared and can decide if that's the vibe they're seeking. Lively music + 45 guests + wood tables and chairs on wood floors with brick walls = everyone raises their voice to be heard. The young staff was friendly and fast, and this year the place celebrates I think it's fifth anniversary so clearly have a winning formula with their small plates for sharing concept. read more

We were in town and meeting up with some friends and catching up, and I don't know which video it was on YouTube(i think Topjaw maybe?) but they were highlighting the food and I made a note to get some reservations. They do only allow a 2 hour time limit for a party of 4. My friend was running 20 mins late so the servers kept reminding us of the time limit. Luckily we were done dining by that time, so not sure what the outcome would have been if we had overstayed by even a couple of minutes. Never had a restaurant do this many reminders about a dining time limit. Kind of the only bummer otherwise would have been a perfect 5 from me. But man the mushroom bibimbap? I could have eaten 2 bowls by myself. The potato nuggets were very delicious too. Not the best for me was the popcorn chicken- it felt way oversauced. And the green tomato hot pocket.. mostly just tasted of the cheese. Food portion sizes were honestly great for sharing between our 4 person group. But I'd still recommend this place. It was clearly very busy and buzzworthy and I guess that's why they are so cognizant of their dining limit enforcement. read more

Food: Every dish was generally enjoyable, but I didn't think it was anything too impressive or special. Portions are very small and meant to be shared. They recommend you order 2 to 3 dishes per person. We tried the fluke ceviche, ox cream pasta, toast roll, mushroom bibimbap, and the spare ribs. My favorite out of the dishes was the mushroom bibimbap which was full of mushroom and garlic flavor. The ribs were very dry so I wouldn't recommend ordering that. This place seems very overhyped, and I'm not sure why it's so popular. Service: Service was phenomenal until the end of our meal. Throughout the meal, the staff was very attentive and refilled our water and cleared empty dishes very quickly. I was very happy with the service for the most part. At the end of the meal, we had half of a rib left on a plate and someone came over to ask if they could take away the dish. I asked if we could have a few more minutes to just finish the rib on the plate. The guy was a bit unfriendly and said we couldn't finish the rib because they need the table for the next reservation. He ended up taking the rib away, and I was quite shocked that he didn't let me finish the rib. This was a very odd experience and something that has never happened to me before in a restaurant. It would have taken me under a minute to finish what was on the plate, but he didn't allow it. For this experience alone, I wouldn't return to this place. Ambiance: The restaurant inside is small, but they have a lot of outdoor seating set up. Coming here with a large group might be difficult because of the small space tables are placed very close together and space is very tight. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant and won't be returning. read more

C as in Charlie is one of those places you keep coming back to--and for good reason. The staff are incredibly friendly, and beyond the amazing food, it's their hospitality that really stands out. They have a way of making you feel right at home every time you walk in. The popcorn chicken is my personal favorite and an absolute must-order on every visit. I'm a regular here, and it easily ranks in my top five recommendations for anyone visiting NYC. Seating can be a little tight at times but definitely visit in the warmer months when they open up their additional outdoor patio/street seating. read more

Nice physical location. Intriguing fusion options. I will acknowledge that I don't think I'm this kitchen's target audience though--doesn't pack the bold and exciting flavors I look for, especially in fusion cuisine. Nonetheless, all the meat is cooked well. Tender bites. Extremely kind workers too. Everyone I interacted with was very hospitable and personable. In retrospect, I'd ask for a chili oil/spicy condiment for everything. read more

I went with a group of 4 and we ordered everything off of the menu. This place is a tapas style with korean food, so it's a bit of a twist, especially for my fellow Korean folks who are used to larger portions. Everything was so delicious and service was amazing! The waiters kept hooking us up with free drinks and they were all so amazing. The food was already great, but the service was probably one of the best I've experienced.

Been on my list forever, and finally got to go. C as in Charlie is delivering a Southern-Korean mix vibe to their menu which I highly appreciate the effort for fusion and uniqueness. It's a great casual place to have dinner before going out - the food was all pretty solid, and I can see why they earned their Michelin Bib status, and while I wasn't -extremely- impressed with anything, I would say that overall it was a solid meal. The namesake dessert that looks like a bagel with cream cheese is certainly fun, but the flavors didn't quite marry together into something greater than the sum of its parts, and feel that the textural experience was a little too heterogenous rather than complementary - the airy but not crisp wafer bagel and the dense interior. I liked the spin on salisbury steak and the egg rolls (meaty) the most. Still recommend you try it out, since it's one of the few places bringing together two cultures you don't normally see brought together, and that in and of itself is something to honor, as in that way, it represents the best of NYC. read more

Such a great dinner or date spot - best suited for smaller parties. They started us off with welcome shots and we ordered the popcorn chicken, oxbone cream pasta, seoulsburry steak, and the mushroom bibimbap. We loved everything and wish we had more stomach to be able to order dessert! The popcorn chicken is the only thing we wouldn't order again - not because we didn't like it but because it was the most "normal" and too large (hah, this shouldn't be a complaint though) for us to be able to eat other things. Would return, again and again. The vibes are immaculate and the service was perfect. read more

We came here on the 4th of July for dinner with friends. The place is arguably small with a casual vibe. Once we're seated, our server came to us, introduced herself, and offered us a shot of Soju on the house. That's what I called a good start. The concept was Korean tapas to share, and our server was nice enough to walk us through what works best for our group. They only offered natural wines (that may not be favorable for some, taste-wise). Since we were in a celebratory mood, we went for a natural sparkling Rosé. We then ordered the following dishes to share: 1. Fluke Ceviche 2. Popcorn chicken 3. Toast roll 4. Seoul'sbury streak 5. Tomato salad 6. Oxbone cream pasta 7. Mushroom bibimbap 8. Baby back ribs Our group enjoyed all the dishes. The flavors were elevated and made you want some more. We also left the restaurant fully satisfied. We had a lovely dinner here.

This place is perfectly hyped- it is no wonder that they have been able to have steady high traffic for years. My mom and I went on a Sunday late afternoon and it was busy, we were lucky to have been seated with one table available for us.

Don't get me started on the bathroom- it's a vibe. The dishes we got blew my mind- especially the salisbury steak and grits. I don't even like salisbury steak and it was one of the first dishes to have been wiped clean off the plate. The service was top notch, I most definitely will be coming back. read more

I was planning a Friday drinks and dinner with a friend to celebrate her birthday early and we realized the day before we needed a dinner spot. I checked my bookmarks and realized that C as in Charlie was very close to our drinks spot. They had a 5:30pm reservation left, so I made it and we planned for early drinks, early dinner, and more drinks after. For the 2 of us, we split: - Potato nuggets - Hamachi crudo - Ox bone pasta - some kind of seafood boil Everything was really good. The pasta was very well flavored and you can just taste the umami from the ox bone. The crudo was also very refreshing. We didn't end up staying for dessert, so our waiter melted a candle to a shot of their yogurt soju for my friend for her birthday. That was so sweet and very much appreciated. Service was great and very attentive. No notes. Perk: they have matchbooks, which we both collect. read more

there is something to be said about dishes that have Michelin bib level complexity while also maintaining options for all tastebud levels - for instance the gojuchung popcorn chicken. crispy little bites of slightly sweet, slightly spicey chicken in a cute movie theatre popcorn bag. who wouldn't eat that? - then a complex scallop crudo with cheese and horseradish that had you chewing slow and thinking...then going back for more - another complicated and special dish is the crab drop soup. imagine you dropped the consistency of clam chowder to milk levels and make the chunks silken tofu soaked in crab flavor. and then make it look like a cappuccino?!?! - the "seoulsbury steak" despite sounding complicated, was basically a buttery burger sitting in the smoothest drenched plate of grits. - the okra dish was divisive as it deceivingly packed in spice but the mushroom bipbimbap united the forces with various types of mushroom pairing perfectly with a runny egg on a bed of sauce soaked soft rice - we got free shots galore!! loved the fun and kind service. only complaint is the creative bagel imitation dessert needed a mochi like or soft "bread" part instead of the wafer like "bread" that allowed for the chunk of cream cheese gelato to be the only flavor read more

Definitely hit the spot with their Korean fusion tapas!! The mushroom bibimbap was my favorite dish because of well seasoned mushrooms. Add on a poached egg with a runny egg yolk, garlic-y rice, and a handful of pickled onions - you got the perfect bite! The oxbone pasta was a close second because of its tasty sauce that reminded me of a beef broth, but had extra garlic and butter in it. The crunchy bacon added another savory layer on top of the al dente pasta. The steak was well seasoned and tender while the grits was nostalgic for me, but didn't stand out. The popcorn chicken was solid with its gochujang like sauce but not every piece was that tender. The toast roll had a nice shrimpy crunch and served as a great appetizer with its tangy mayo sauce. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. We were greeted with a sake shot on the house and I loved the intimate but homey vibes. Staff were kind and made great recs. Food came out quick in a weekday. I look forward to coming back!! read more

This intimate cozy restaurant was a hidden surprise experience on our trip to NYC. Off a busy street, from the moment we entered, the environment was immediately welcoming. From the owner greeting us to the energy of the clientele and amazing smell, we were seated and immediately greeted and welcomed like family. As a Korean meets southern comfort food, the tapas style servings were an invitation to try EVERYTHING! Service and speed made the visit even more special but honestly. It was all about the FOOD. While every plate was a taste bud adventure the ribs and the Seoul'sbury steak was out of this world. You won't go wrong ordering anything.
