" The experience at Charcoal and Salt was decent overall. While I really enjoyed my yukhoe bibimbap, I found the service to be a bit slower than expected. The atmosphere was okay but could use some more lighting to feel more welcoming. I would consider returning if I'm in the area and craving Korean food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Charcoal and Salt for a casual dinner and was left unimpressed. The bibimbap was cold when it arrived and the sides took far too long to come out. On the other hand, when the food did arrive, the flavors were solid but not extraordinary. I might give them another chance but right now, I'm undecided. " (*Curated Review*)

" There’s something truly special about the food at Charcoal and Salt. The warmth of the staff adds to the cozy atmosphere. I savored the kalbitang with rich flavors and tender meat. If you're after authentic Korean cuisine, stop by this gem—I guarantee satisfaction! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love God and I love Charcoal and Salt! The spicy dishes here just hit the right notes for my palate, it’s such a comforting meal every time I visit. The ambiance is unmatched—perfect for a cozy meal alone or with friends. I genuinely cannot recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend Charcoal and Salt enough! Their kimchi stew is hands down the best I've had outside of my grandmother's kitchen. The owner was warm and generous, even bringing us extra side dishes without us asking. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a cozy night out. Really a hidden gem in the city! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The flavors are incredibly authentic and transport me back to Korea. The pork bone soup is a must-try, and the side dishes are plentiful and delicious. Every visit has been a wonderful experience with amazing service. I'd rate it 10 out of 10 if I could! " (*Curated Review*)

" Charcoal and Salt exceeded my expectations! The authentic flavors were evident in every dish. The staff was friendly and made great recommendations. I can’t forget the yumminess of their spicy stir-fried squid! Great value for the wonderful experience. " (*Curated Review*)
