Char Korean Bar and Grill

Tuesday, September 13, 2016

Richard Tang has done it again. Former founding partner of Craft Izakaya, Tang has set his eyes on Inman Park and more specifically in the Inman Quarter retail area with Char Korean Bar & Grill. The restaurant, which totes traditional stuff like bossam, sea snail, spicy noodles, along with kimchi-pork belly fried rice, sweet potato tempura, and more Korean barbecue staples also has a ambitious bar program with all sorts of delicious and original cocktails. One of the most fun attributes of the place is being able to grill at your table. Whether it be garlic pork belly, wagyu beef, tenderloin or other scrumptious delicacies, the staff will guide you on a wonderful experience.

Char, the newest concept from Richard Tang, is located at 299 North Highland in Inman Quarter.
