I really enjoy the food here. I do think it's a little understaffed. The service experience could be better. It would be a 5 star experience if the service was made a little better.

Great service and the food was amazing. Small place that is a little hidden away but has a charming vibe inside. Wings and pork were great.

This place is AMAZING. Some friends and I went this past Saturday and we loved it so much we went back today. There's not another place in Louisville with more authentic and delicious Korean cuisine. The wait staff is super friendly and helpful; excellent service. No matter what you order, it will have your tastebuds singing for more.If you're looking for suggestions, you should definitely consider the chicken or grilled (beef) bulgogi. I have yet to try more than one of their soups, but I will definitely be visiting Charim often in the future to get my Korean food fix. :)

Quite possibly the best vegetarian dish in the city is their hot stone bibimbap.

My husband and I have been here twice and have enjoyed everything that we have tried. The Pajeon seafood pancake is HUGE, they are not kidding when they warn you that it is very filling. It is very good if you love seafood. The muscles, calamari, and shrimp are large pieces. The dipping sauce is so yummy!! My husband ordered the Bulgogi Ttukbaegi soup and LOVED it. I had the Beef Bulgogi which I enjoyed much better than the chicken bulgogi that I had ordered last time. It is SUPER spicy, just in case you aren't a "spicy food" person. I'm not sure if you can ask to have it toned down. The beef has a different sauce and is SO so yummy! We enjoyed everything. The unlimited sides that come with the meal are delicious as well. :) Highly recommend, Charim! We have also had the Chicken katsu and it's delicious. I will be back to try the kalbi ribs next time. Can't wait!

This is some excellent food.Very quiet at 2pm on a Tuesday; the place was empty and the service was great! They were about to close, but welcomed me warmly.Most importantly, the food is perfect!I've only had Korean food a few times now. This is by far the best I've had.Don't let me oversell it - you will enjoy your food here.I had the fried dumplings and the stone bowl bibim bap with beef.The fried dumplings were VERY hot (temperature) and crispy. Dipping sauce was delectable.The bibim bap was excellent quality and came with a variety of small side dishes. Each side dish was different and wonderful on its own (aside from the soup which was just your standard Miso soup - I know that's usually a Japanese soup, but that's what it tasted like).The little side dish that was made from peanuts (top right in my photo) was so very good. Think of Florida's boiled peanuts, and add a sticky, asian flavor.I can't wait to come back.Thank you, thank you.

Interesting little place tucked away in St Matthews. This place is easily forgotten and not that easy to find if your not looking for it.If you enjoy Korean food it’s ok. It used to be much better. If you come with a group of people this place can be a lot of fun. Nothing really stood out enough to recommend.Service is very friendly.
