Charlie's Place New York Reviews
Their restaurant encourages you to linger and relax. Small place, impressive kitchen output. Their dishes contain recently made elements. The staff seems chosen for physical qualities. This restaurant impressed me completely.
Been coming here for years, this place serve good Japanese food and at a decent prices for many years. My favorite is always bento (any bento) and soup. Also want to add, this is the first Japanese restaurant I ate from. Thus begin my journey to try many different Japanese restaurants for their food and cultures.
Charlie's Place is sushi paradise!!! Great service & great food like Arnie says I'll be back!!!
One of New York's iconic eateries right In the heart of Harlem. Very friendly atmosphere, great service outstanding food that was so good. I went back two days in a row for the unbelievable delicious sushi 🍣 . Thanks Kim💕
This is my absolute favorite place to grab lunch! I always get their chicken katsu bento box, with tax is about $14. They have indoor seating for about 15 people and during the day it’s usually not too busy. The staff is very friendly too!
Tried this place because the prices and pictures looked good, also because it’s hard to find Korean food in this area. Was pleasantly surprised how authentic the food tasted - comforting for a Korean American! I’m glad I found this spot, will be a regular. Restaurant is clean! The takeout packaging also is done well, you can tell they know what they’re doing and are experienced.
Needed to grab a quick bite before taking the train back to Connecticut and this spot was near the Harlem station. Location was nice and quiet. Service was great and they were very friendly. Food was great and super reasonably priced! Recommend the California roll, Philadelphia roll, and spider roll. The chicken teriyaki combo platter was good too.
Wow! Firstly, the owners are so kind. Secondly, the food is very diverse and very tasty! Their sushi is made to order, and the bento box is delicious. Totally recommend this restaurant. Try the chicken teriyaki.
Super clean, affordable, and delicious. It says Japanese restaurant, but they serve authentic Korean dishes too like bibimbap, mandu (dumpling) soup, and spicy tofu stew (sundubu). I just wish they were open later for sit down!
Amazing food. As if it’s was copied from the photo to the plate. Staff was kind and friendly Will definitely come back there.
I was craving sushi today , and decided to put my google map and the place near by was Charlie’s place, I believe the lady who is at the register is the owner, amazing customer service she was so sweet, food was absolutely delicious, definitely going back , highly recommended this place to everyone
The salmon and tuna poke bowl was great and the rainbow role was very fresh!! Great meal!
Been here twice hands down 5 stars amazingly fresh. Great affordable prices. If you love sushi and poke, bento bowls and great prices then you have to check this place out for lunch or dinner This was for the whole family and we loved it got a platter and some of our favorite rolls.
This is a very busy restaurant. I love their food and customer service and the price is just right for the neighborhood.. my to go lunch spot.
Best sushi in Harlem. Bento boxes were delicious. Definitely a spot I'll be going back to.
The place is simple but the sushi is good! The price is fair. the sushiman gave me 2 pieces of sushi to try and the attendant was a sweetheart. I loved
Highly recommended spot! The food was fresh and served quickly at affordable prices. Portions were generous, and I was thrilled they offered Ramune soda. The staff was exceptionally friendly. The only downside was the lack of heating, which made the dining experience a bit chilly and less comfortable. Overall, great food and service!
The sushi here is soooo good..had the Hawaiian and fire roll; it was amazing. I leave sashimi for more upscale places but after seeing all the fresh fish and watching the chef prepare the food I will definitely give this place a shot. Can’t wait to come back
the food quality has diminished since switching from Charlie’s to Harlem Sushi! I work nearby so often buy the udon when the weather permits. today I thought I would try the dumpling, but the dumpling is completely falling apart in the broth! it’s falling apart like layers in phyllo dough. i’m disappointed / i miss the friendly lady in front and tasty, correct orders.
This place is very delicious and keep in mind, this is a sushi place. I’ve gone to this place many times and the sushi is delicious but the service is not that great. The woman at the front counter is very nice but whenever we want Sushi , I guess it’s up to the Sushi shaft and they have weird hours too. Very disappointing. I wish they would stay consistent.
