The Korean owners, husband and wife team have retired in 2025. Sad to see them go. Apparently taken over by the kitchen staff who used to work there. Portions have changed. read more

First visit here. Parking is tough, I saw lots of people double park to run & get their orders. I ordered a spider roll & a shrimp tempura roll, $19 total. Service was friendly. It took about 15 minutes to get my rolls. In my humble opinion, both the spider crab & shrimp tempura were over fried. And both rolls were smothered in eel sauce, which I find too sweet. If I had known they would do that, I would've requested no sauce because both rolls tasted the same, I couldn't taste the shrimp. They also have the tiniest dab of Wasabi. I usually get tempura rolls at a Japanese restaurant. I know this place is Korean, so I would like to come back & try their Korean dishes next time. Happy Yelping! read more

Food here is always fresh and the service is quick. The host/cashier is super polite, always bows to greet the customers. Dining in is a better choice as they have enough seating even during lunch time. I wouldn't recommend anyone to walk in at 5:45pm as they close their kitchen right at 6 and would not let you dine in after 5:45pm. read more

I came to Charlie's Place because another sushi spot in the area was not open . . . even though the other restaurant's Yelp hours said they opened at 1 pm. Since Charlie's Place is next door to a bodega/takeout spot, I really did not know what to expect. In fact, I was about to call it a loss and 86 my sushi lunch idea, but I am glad that I powered through. Overall, the place is pretty decent and has the bare necessities for a sushi platter. While the sushi was not out of the world amazing, the prices are pretty good for what you get. The prices are way better than some of the other sushi places with the same quality of food. Also, the lady at the front counter was probably one of the nicest people that I have encountered. For my dining pleasure, I went with the sushi deluxe (5 pieces of sushi and a California roll) with an eel roll. *Hey, I was starving.* I was slightly taken aback that the restaurant did not verify customers' vaccination status for dining inside. Now that I know this place is within walking distance from my apt, I am 100% sure that I'll be back for some easy, breezy Asian food (some of the Korean dishes looked pretty interesting). read more

Charlie's place is phenomenal! I wish I could give it more stars. They have quite a variety of sushi rolls and for the amount they give I have not seen a better price in the city. We ordered it to go and the restaurant itself is a little hidden, but it's very nice inside. The staff is super friendly. The sushi itself was very fresh and well made. I will be coming back a lot and be trying their other menu items too. read more

Best sushi place for awesome prices in Harlem The restaurant is family owned and they are always so nice and welcoming, I recommend the bento boxes and the dumpling soup. It's all delicious read more

We tried to call in an order with no luck, but since Charlie's Place is about a two minute walk from the apartment, we headed out to order in person. A lovely woman took our order and told us it would be about 15 minutes. We walked around the block to kill some time and returned to our order ready to go. Just as we were one block out, returning to the apartment, I got a phone call from Charlie's letting me know that they had forgotten an eel roll we had ordered, and when we returned, the woman gave us two free ginger ales along with the missing roll! Once we got back, all of the fish was super fresh, and the chicken katsu was tasty and generous and. I've ordered from Charlie's place several times in the past and they have been consistently excellent! read more

They are still amazing in their prices and sushi offerings. The Korean Citron Tea is a real treat for when you're feeling under the weather as well! The minus star is for their combo plates. Had their teriyaki chicken combo and it was quite dry and uninspired. The lo mein it came with was pretty bland as well. Stick to the bibimbap, sushi, katsu and noodle soup dishes for a better experience. read more

Don't be fooled by the modest exterior of this place. The fish is top quality! You can also tell how much care the chef puts into the presentation, as each roll is tightly wrapped, perfectly cut, and meticulously topped off with various sauces, tobiko, etc. If we're just talking about sushi, this place is 10x better than Yuzu, which is one of the few other sushi restaurants in the area. Compared to Yuzu, their prices are way cheaper, the fish is actually better quality, and the presentation is also better. (At the very least, their rolls aren't falling apart and cut haphazardly like they are at Yuzu!) I also love ordering their Korean beef soup, which isn't as spicy as it looks and really hits the spot on a cold day. I haven't personally tried the lunch specials yet but based on the orders the owner calls out while I patiently wait for my food, I can tell they're very popular items, usually consisting of a combo with lo mein, chicken teriyaki, and fried rice. I will say that because they are a very small restaurant and clearly adored by locals (myself included), the line can be a little long, especially during peak lunch and dinner times. I definitely recommend placing your order ahead of time. This is easily one of our favorite go-to places and we absolutely love the owners, who are just the sweetest Korean couple. Thank you for always providing such quality food and for caring about what you do! read more

Charlie's Place - Spicy Beef Soup - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

This spot is half a block from my new office. The inside is very clean and I could see right into the kitchen. I was surprised at how clean everything is. I just grabbed a quick lunch of spicy beef soup to go and it came with a good portion of rice. The soup was pretty spicy and the flavor was good. For less than $10, it was a good amount of food. I will definitely be coming back here to try their sushi. read more

This spot offers takeout and free delivery, and the service was great. The nigiri sushi rolls are very generously portioned and very tasty. They have a very extensive menu including poké bowls, bento boxes, and teriyakis. If you pick up in store they do have Apple Pay. This place is a little gem of Harlem! read more

I think I found my new favorite spot in Harlem. I was craving Pad thai for the longest but didn't want to spend 20-25 dollars. I came across this restaurant on my search. Decided to have sushi as well. It was great but this weird but i wish it was a little colder. Then I had the beef pad thai. It was a large portion and incredibly fresh. It hit the spot. Also kudos to the server that was very nice. I overheard her telling another customer how they expanded their menu. I can't wait to go back and try more. Bang for buck spot: I got spicy salmon roll, beef pad thai, ice tea and bottle water came out to 16 bucks read more

Charlie's Place is clean, efficient, and the owners are so kind and clearly take pride in what they do. I ordered the bibimbop with beef and was very satisfied with the portion size, and my husband got the salmon bento. We do not know how they cook their salmon but wow it was done PERFECTLY. Light, flaky, juicy, and slightly crispy, not dense or fishy-smelling at all. We cannot recommend it enough - and plan to be ordering again very soon!! read more

Charlie's Place is just what I was looking for when it came time to change the "cop out" dinner options and searching around East/Central Harlem. I haven't had had sushi or rolls in a while and though I have been to Charlie's years ago, I forgot how good they were. I'm a basic roll guy so this review will not prepare you to finally try something off the raw menu. This is for the basic people who just want to grab a few rolls for lunch and dinner. If I didn't mention it before I will say it now. Charlie's won't disappoint. read more

Creative food ! Small space so it's cozy, It is a great way to bring a different culture to the area.

Easy dine in or takeout for sushi. I had the dragon roll and edamame. Freshly prepared and so tasty! read more

Got a couple raw sushi rolls and couple tempura rolls, all delicious and reasonably priced!

This place is super clean, and they make fresh sushi. What more can a girl ask for while spending an afternoon in Harlem! For lunch, I enjoyed a vegetable soup, spicy salmon roll, and Korean citron tea. Don't worry. While the tea sounds like something a robot would drink, it is not. The citron tea was a sweet tea made from a Korean citrus fruit. It is super delicious. The bottom of my cup had the sweet rinds that totally satisfied my sugar craving at the end of my meal. :) Charlie's Place was very clean. I actually saw an employee wipe the table after a customer left each and every time! The staff is warm and friendly. They were all smiles and they even engaged me in conversation about the tea. read more

I've been going to Charlie's since I was 10, I am 21 now. The front desk lady is always super nice and the food is just always on point.

Love this place and love that it's so close to school. Super cheap sushi for how great the quality is. I frequent this little spot often and I've never been disappointed.

The food is good. Just don't try to call to order because they hardly can answer or show up an hour before their closing time online because they'll likely be closed.

Solid place. Nice addition to the east harlem area. Food is not life changing (though certainly does not need to be) but it good and filling. Average prices. Place has a take out vibe. Has some seating, but definitely not a restaurant. I figure this is best suited as quick casual dinner/lunch spot. read more

Came in the other day for a quick lunch. I ordered the salmon poke bowl. It was really good, had great portions ( lots of salmon) and it tasted very fresh. I ordered and was told to sit down and they would bring it over to me. The service was really good, surprising for the area to be honest. I tried to tip but they wouldn't accept it. Would love to come back! read more

This is without a doubt the best place for sushi in this area. Period! Puts everyone else to shame. The quality of the fish, the presentation, the speed of delivery, the kindness of the owners, it simply cannot be beat. I think there was one point where we were ordering from them at least once a week, and every time, the food was perfect. Whether it's a nice spicy bowl of Korean beef soup, or their diet dream roll (which is an epic blend of different fish and tamago), or even an entire sushi platter, I cannot think of a single complaint when it comes to the food. It can get a bit crowded at peak lunch or dinner times, so be prepared if you go in person, it's a pretty small space. Nevertheless, it is so worth the wait! read more
