Fantastic food! The food arrived hot, properly cooked and with all sauces and accompaniments. Get the dumplings, they are delicious and not like any other dumpling from any other restaurant! Our mains (galbi & bimibap) were ample portions, beautifully presented and delicious! Would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

I was craving Korean food and had an overall good time. The parking in the area sucked but it was worth it. The staff was busy but very welcoming. We ordered a lot of food for two people but it was delicious and took some home. It was my first time in a while since went out but I had a good time. I loved the music as well I almost didn't notice it was K-pop until I heard BlueJeans-Cookie. Thank you and I wish I remembered the name of the blonde server lady she was very nice

Our server never came back to our table after our drink order. We waited for 30-40 minutes then decided to leave. It wasn’t characteristic of the normal experience here, but it was still disappointing.

Service was incredibly slow (45 minutes for appetizers) and left quite a bit to be desired. We had to cancel additional orders following the arrival of our appetizers, as the togarashi fries lacked salt and contained an unpleasant amount of oil. The "KFC" chicken wings were tasty, but I am unsure what made them Korean. They did not taste like any Korean-style chicken wings I have ever had; they had minimal fry coating and had a sauce that was rather runny. I arrived with the intention of having galbi, but we were told that they had just sold the last one (barely 3 hours post-opening on a Sunday, and they are out?). Between lackluster service, unprofessional and loud kitchen conversations, and poor inventory management, what was meant to be a pleasant night out turned out to be a complete waste. Coming from the Chicagoland area, this restaurant fell flat on so many levels; there was nothing authentic here, the service was abysmal, and the prices shocked even Illinoisans. Please, consider other amazing restaurants nearby.

Our server was good. But that’s unfortunately the only good thing I can say. I got their pork belly and it was truly terribly cooked. It was overcooked and tough (not how pork belly should be). When you pay $25 for an entree you’re expecting at least halfway decent food. Truly disappointing.

Food was amazing. We know that Korean meals take a while to prepare so we were expecting it to take longer than usual. The wait was most definitely worth it. Decorations & the restaurant were beautiful as well.

A friend and I had reservations and got seated right away. The waitress to 10 minutes to greet us and it wasn’t even a busy night. Our appetizers cam out quickly but it took an additional 10 minutes from that time to place the order for the meal then another 1 hour 30 minutes to even get the 2 dishes we ordered. There looked to be 1 server and one person in the kitchen and maybe 2 other staff working the whole night. Food was average compared to other Korean spots I’ve tried with meats seasoned well. Portions were huge. I wouldn’t recommend nor return if given the chance due to long wait times and average food.

Was decent for Korean food. Not much creativity with the flavors. Standard tasting korean food. Price was not worth the meals. Service wasn’t the best. Appetizers took awhile to come out and we saw our waiter maybe 3 times the whole night. We got our sides first before our meal which and took awhile for the meal to come out. I wouldnt recommend if you are looking for a korean restaurant in milwaukee. I would take the time and go somewhere further out for better food. This place was ok and most likely wouldn’t come back.

Never got our food. We had a 6:15 reservation. Had some appetizers and then ordered our food. We barely saw our server and around 7, our server told us they were slammed but half the tables were empty. I could also see in the kitchen and the cooks certainly didn't look stressed. At 7:20 our server walked by with full hands and I asked if they could stop by when they had a moment. I wanted to get a wait estimate. She never came back and 10 minutes later we paid at the bar for our apps and left. We've eaten there before and they have good food, but the service was terrible. I would have at least thought that the manager would have stopped by to apologize.

We decided to go with appetizers for dinner since so many of them looked good. Our server recommended the dumplings, shishito cauliflower, togarashi fries and leeky chicken. The dumplings and cauliflower were good - not fabulous - but the chicken was dry and not tasty, and the fries were majorly lacking - needed salt and some sort of dipping sauce. We were disappointed. The star of the night was the croiffle - the waffle/croissant mash up was AMAZING. Saved this review from being a 2 to a 3.

As a discerning traveler with a keen interest in gastronomy, I hold dining standards in high regard when choosing dining establishments. I am delighted to say that the culinary offerings at Chard truly lived up to my expectations. The quality of food served was exceptional. Each dish was expertly crafted, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors, textures, and presentation. It was evident that great care and attention to detail went into every meal, and I was thoroughly impressed with the overall dining experience. In addition to the remarkable food, the service provided by the staff was exemplary.

Second time at Char'd and they seem to struggle with training quality serving staff. Largely left ignored. Brought us a bottle of wine but didnt' open, sample, or pour it. Food took much too long to come (30+ minutes) and we didn't get the rice or lettuce until we asked. Server seemed new so not their fault...just need better training and attentiveness.
