This is a gem in Charlotte. If you're looking for something different from the typical fare in the city, this is a good option. The standout item was the arroz caldo (photo attached).

Food was outstanding from start to finish. Dishes nailed visual, texture and taste. We sat at the chefs counter and it was fun to watch how dialed in and professional the chefs prepared the food and worked together. We were lucky enough for the Chef to bring our dishes and explain them. This is now one of my favorite Charleston spots.

Really enjoyed every part of our experience. Vibrant flavors, high quality ingredients, a cozy setting. We sat in their small garden and one of our guests had a few mosquitos land on them and when we mentioned it they brought out an organic bug spray. Just lovely.

I have eaten here twice. Once a few weeks ago, and again tonight. Perfect. All there is to it. Want to switch it up try something other than the standard? this is it. Intimate space perfect for a date night. Great food, Great chef/s, Great servers. First time ever writing a review of that means anything to ya! Cheers check this spot out.

Went with a large group, sat outside on the patio. It’s small, so reservations are recommended! Amazing service and food. Great ambiance. The cocktails were really unique, made with sake. And the food was out of this world! We had a large group so got to sample almost everything on the menu, and it was all delicious. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Celebrated my birthday with 12 of my closest girlfriends at Kultura on the patio and we were completely blown away by how amazing the food and service was. We had a set menu since we had a big group and every single dish was a work of art and the flavor was so insanely tastey! The Caldo porridge blew our minds!! What an incredible meal and such a fun vibe!

Remarkable flavors!

Kultura is a unique addition to Charleston! Drinks were tasty, due to no liquor license, most were made with sake, vermouth, and fresh juices, spices, herbs. First up was a take on Crudo- delicious. Fresh, ginger forward. The Curry (snapper) was delicious, fantastic curry flavor over sticky rice. Would have preferred a bit more curry sauce. The Rice Porridge was recommended as being written up in NY times. This is a notable dish - extremely unusual. It is super savory with many flavors going on and strong undertones of Orange. Its like a swirling of a chicken soup, a porky ramen, has tones of fish (roe), and the citrus/orange - its a totally confusing and amazing dish. Must try. The dessert was a “deconstructed coconut pie” of ive cream, whip, and topped with a puff pastry chip on top. This was like a very light fluffy vanilla with strong coconut tones. Solid ice cream dish.
Some things to note - - Parking (by chubby fish and Verns) is difficult. - There are only 3 tables inside and a handful outside, small, or bar seating. - They take reservations very seriously as a result and will kindly ask you to leave if overstaying your “time slot” - they state up front the dishes come out in random order. Our main came out before our apps, which didnt bother me but may be slightly unusual. - no liquor license so their cocktails on sake and vermouth are about it. Beer wine, non alc. - almost everything on the menu can be made GF, Vegan, Veggie only or dairy free. Rare to find a spot where nearly the whole many can accommodate special diets.
Probably the only filipino spot in town, Kultura adds even more diversity to the cities culinary scene.

Outstanding experience from start to finish! The service was excellent, the food was absolutely delicious, and the intimate setting made it even more special. We sat at the bar and got to watch the chefs cook and plate everything—it was like dinner and a show!
We tried the Kinilaw appetizer, the Snapper Curry, and the Jollybee—every single dish was packed with flavor. Honestly wanted to lick the plate clean. We’ll definitely be back!
Had Kamayan Sunday yesterday and it was wonderful! Everything from starter soup, the included drink, all the way to dessert (corn sorbet with fruity pebbles?!), was awesome. Service = fantastic

Great little dinner spot in downtown Charleston. Highly recommend the tartare and pork wraps for apps, the pancit and scallops for entrees, and the mango sticky rice for dessert. The cocktails were fabulous and the ambiance was lovely. Will definitely be back!

We had a lovely meal here. My friend is Filipino and had just recently been to the Philippines so I worried she may be disappointed, but the meal and the atmosphere was great. I was only disappointed we weren’t hungry enough to do their new Sunday pre fixe meal.

We walk in on a Friday night and had the best time. It’s such a cozy, homie, wholesome place. The food was great and tasted like home made food. The chef and our server (Jolie) were kind and welcoming. We had the rice porridge, the lettuce wraps and the strawberry desert. We hope to be back soon to try their weekend brunch and their curry!
