“This restaurant is a bag of mixed emotions. It looks okay on the main door, in door isn’t bad . It’s small but carries this cozy vibe. Suitable more for students, I’d say. The food looks okay too but the taste…the taste is another issue. It doesn’t match the look. It tastes like Chinese food. Let me explain…I think they don’t use the Korean ingredients to make traditional Korean dishes, but instead just use any generic soya sauce and spice to make these original dishes. Fried dumplings are kinda hard & oily. Service is okay. I’d suggest owl of minerva restaurant if you wanna try Korean dishes. Pricing is fair.

Parking in the back. It’s quite limited.“

“Honestly this place is a bit of a hidden gem. Looks run down on the outside but when you come in you’re greeted with super friendly service. I had a guy serving me and cooking my food he was chatty, quick and you could tell he knows his regulars because each of them was happy to engage in convo with him. For 11 dollars I got 2 eggs, 3 sausages, 2 pieces of toast and some really tasty breakfast potatoes. I would definitely pop in here for lunch or dinner sometime. Thanks for the friendly service :)“

“I have bought the fresh turkey for two years on the trot from 50 Point Market! Wow wow wow.. amazing quality, cavity cleaned and when cooked the freshness and juiciness of the bird is on point.. I definitely recommend getting your fresh turkey 🦃 from 50 Point Market, order in advance so you dont get disappointed!!“

“Nice to to hang out with friends“

“Stopped by Charred last night during the Hamilton Art Crawl, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our evening. Given how packed the area gets during Art Crawl nights, we weren't sure we'd manage to get a table without a long wait, but we got lucky and were seated fairly quickly.

We ordered the chicken with slaw, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavour, while the slaw added a nice crunchy, refreshing contrast to balance out the richness of the dish. To go with our meal, we had a draft Lager, which was crisp and refreshing, exactly what you want on a hot summer evening.

We also asked for the Spicy sauce on the side, expecting to need it to kick things up a notch. But honestly, the chicken was so well-seasoned and tasty on its own that the sauce ended up being more of a bonus than a necessity.

What really stood out, though, was the service. Despite the restaurant being busy with the Art Crawl crowd, our server was fast, attentive, and polite throughout the meal. It's clear the team knows how to handle a rush without compromising on hospitality.

Overall, Charred offers a great combination of quality food, good drinks, and friendly service, all in a lively atmosphere. Whether you're grabbing a bite during Art Crawl or just looking for a solid spot in Hamilton, I'd highly recommend checking this place out. We'll definitely be back!

P.S. The creme brulee cheesecake was just amazing!“
