The Charlim

Came here to have some Korean food but ended up having a Japanese meal instead 😶‍🌫 the curries were delicious and probably one of the best katsu I've had - cooked very well as it was crispy yet still moist on the inside. The side salad was a good addition to the curry which was also very tasty. Complimentary refills on banchan which is awesome as well as miso soup. Great value for money as it was quite filling

Great selection of side dishes comes with a very large main serving all the food we tried was very nice.

Service was fast and efficient.

Price is very reasonable especially considering size of portions.

We ordered the weekend lunch special. Didn't expect the lunch special would come with the side dishes. Very impressed about their portion of food.

The food tasted great for the price we paid. This is a money for value restaurant with their specials.

I will be a lot more savvy if I come across to their full price menu. It is much more expensive.

Probably the best value for money restaurant I’ve eaten in for a while! Especially considering the quality of the food was top notch. Service was very quick & friendly. I’m surprised this place isn’t more popular. I’ll defiantly be returning.

Super tasty Korean food! Fell in love with their cold noodle (portion was slightly smaller than other Korean restaurants) and their seafood pancake was enormous which was so filling. Service was quick and price was reasonable.

Generous portions, delicious meals.

Every time order these！love it

Bright, clean Korean restaurant that's good for bbq but you don't need to, for a great meal.

This place is located on level 2 inside Lidcombe shopping centre. Take the escalator in front of Aldi to go up.

Overall the venue felt bright, clean, not smoky at all and did not smell like typical Korean bbq place. Tables were large, great for big groups.

We ordered Seoul bulgogi and marinated beef. Seoul bulgogi was wonderful. We were given a special shaped grill/pot that lets us cook the meat in the middle a while boiling vegies, noodles and rice cake in its outer rim. It had nice balance of ingredients to bring out flavours well. Marinated beef was nice too, but honestly it's sort of thing where you can't really go wrong.

Side dish were quite minimal, but each one tasted very good, definitely above average. We were given pickled garlic shoots, pasta salads, 2 types of kimchi, and salted raw squid. I thought the garlic shoots were particularly good - sweet and soy sauce.

The place seemed to offer interesting breakfast for $12, which I would like to check out soon.

Great customer service,the food was nice and reasonable price.This is the reason why we keep coming back-it’s our 5th time,I guess.♥

Best fried chicken! Crunchy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. I like to pair that up with the beef short rib soup and share with another person. It's our go-to comfort food without too much guilt. ☺ Very generous servings too, especially for lunch!

Very nice Korean food, been here a few times very consistent, luv the pork bone soup.

Came here at lunch on a Monday! The wife ordered a cold noodle (said it really satisfied her craving) and I ordered a half order of honey soy boneless chicken. The chicken was tender and the honey glaze was delicious without being overly sweet.

We also shared a pork bone hangover soup and it was soooo heart-warming on such a cold day.

The side dishes were very generous and delicious! The service was top knotty.

We've been here several times over the years and they've always been consistent!

Highly recommend this place.

Great place for Korean food to have lunch. The location is well managed and family friendly. The food is great value for money from weekend special ranging from $10 to more traditional Korean BBQ/share. We had the noodle soup combo usually $15 which include everything you see in the photo. And it was delicious!

Tip: The opening hours on the door is not strictly accurate. The place typically opens after 10am in most days. And sometimes later.

Popped in here for lunch with friends, no complaints, food was so yum, service was great, atmosphere were surreal 👌

nice food and good portion, $40 for 2 people

My other go to korean resto located at lidcombe shopping centre. .

I love the chicken here ! However was a bit disappointed to make a booking for my birthday and was not told that they ran out of chicken when they were confirming my booking an hour prior to my arrival there. Would of saved me some time (we all drove there) and excitement if they had told me about it during the call. They were very apologetic about the issue so I am not too fussed. Other than that I will try again another day as the chicken is amazing there ! I understand that there is a pandemic happening and we need to cut restaurants some slack :)

See you guys again soon!

Me and my friends went there and had food, it was absolutely delicious! The BBQ is very high quality and the staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially the girl who served us. Will definitely be going there again!

I have actually never eaten a meal here but they do amazing sets to take home for shabu shabu and also Korean style fresh rolls. These are all inclusive sets with everything you need including meat and sauces but if you think you might need more you can easily go next door to the Korean grocery store to purchase additional items. For winter, try the take home shabu shabu - it comes with vegetables, soup base, meat, two sauces (soy based and peanut) and even some fresh noodles to enjoy at the end.

Our all time favourite for a quicky weekend lunch, chilly pork and chicken curry are our choice :) kids like them too
