Charlie's Korean BBQ in Tauranga

Great Bbq food. Nice n efficient service. Very friendly. Thanks. We will come back:)

Very yummy Korean bbq at a reasonable price!!! Korean lady who served us was very hospitable. Will definitely go back. Highly recommend!

If you know and like Korean food then Charlies is the place to visit!! Amazing flavours, fun little atmosphere and very generous serving sizes!

Amazing food and wonderful service. Very kind and helpful. We are so happy we came to your restaurant. I hope you have a wonderful summer and lots of people come and enjoy Korean BBQ.

Delicious food and great service!We will be back!

Went there in a group of 5. The food was great and the people there are very friendly.Doing a Korean barbeque is a little different from doing a BBQ in the backyard but the staff was really helpful and kept an eye on things.The assortment of kimchi and pickles that came with the food was a big hit as well.

This is the only Korean BBQ restaurant in Mt and Tauranga. The foods taste random sometimes. However its nice to have a Korean BBQ restaurant in Mt Maunganui

Everything was delicious, extremely attentive , amazing vibes 100% recommend

So delicious! We were so happy to eat some Korean comfort food after our long road journey. They were super friendly there too! Will go back

Always good, I love their BBQ, we always go back, quality stays the same! Love it!

Service and food was top notch. Will return to say hello 🥰

Very good food. The pork quality was high. And service was efficient. Overall a good experience. We will return soon.

it was our first Korean BBQ experience. The waiter was helpfull and gave us a lot of good advice. We even tried their raspberry wine. Overall a good meal.

I have been here a few times. The food is amazing and cheap.

Sorry but have to say its the worst Korean restaurant Ive ever had. What you have is totally not what you can see from the menu, Fried Chicken is a great example! So bad.

Great food and the staff were really friendly will definitely go back!

Nice food, good bake for money, very friendly staff

DELICIOUS!!! Very friendly and welcoming Chef, he accepted to adjust a Bibimbap for us (vegetarian).Thanks for the meal boss!

The food tastes great. Very friendly and attentive service.

Amazing service and food, the man who served us was lovely very knowledgable and taught me things I never new about chop sticks and paring alchol with certain food, highly recomend coming here. I had the spicy pork soup and it was delicious my partner had teriyaki chicken fried rice, we chose 3 meats and for 2 it was plenty came with 5 free sides couldnt be any happier :).

Banging Korean fried chicken! If you try anything here definitely get into this.

Delicious and flavorful meal. Decent portions and a good variety of nice little side dishes to accompany the mains. Wolfed down the spicy pork belly 🤤 lovely friendly service, would definitely recommend trying it out

Fantastic food and great service.

Amazing Restaurant! Friendly staff, delicious food and great portions, my partner and myself went here for lunch today and left feeling very happy and satisfied. Will definitely return 😊

Loved my dinner. Barbecuing at our table was fun and the food was very tasty. Lovely staff - very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Only Korean in Tauranga and the Mt. Good atmosphere, grab a beer and Soju from the fridge and whip up a Tornado! Tasty food with great sides. Good to have Korean again. Been too long! Oh and a great hostess!

Very nice meal. Good service and good hospitality.

I love this place, if you want to try the authentic Korean food, this is where to go! Portions big and tastes really nice. Theyve got lots of menus and also vegeterian friendly. All menus are explained with photos which was really great. Owner was nice too :Definitely visiting here again! I was so satisfied. The location is good, just gotta find a parking.

Beautiful food, very fresh perfect portion size

Service, the food all topnotch. As for the pricing, it was spot on. A very enjoyable lunch overall. Highly recommended if your looking for authentic Korean cuisine.

Portion size 1 out of 10Price- 1 out of 10Service -2 out of 10One of the worst korean restaurants in New Zealand.

Beautiful fresh healthy food. Loved it. Service was awesome. The Korean Hite beer worth trying.

Food was horrible and overpriced. The table service was so bad.

Worst Korean bbq experience ever. We arrived at the restaurant (3 adults and 2 kidsfor dinner and it was empty. there were only 2 male staff sitting there talking. one of them is the chef. We were asked to sit ourselves anywhere we want. After 2 minutes we got the menu, the mid aged Korean staff came to us and ask us if we were ready to order. I said we want bbq. We were reccomended to have the $99 meat platter which included 5 different meat in it and should be enough for 4 to 5 people. We also ordered a cold noodle. I asked the staff if i could swap one of the meat to another, the answer was straight NO. Later when we got the platter, i realized the portion was really small. Only 8 thin pieces of pork belly with the dollar value of $20. During the meal the "chef" interrupted us 3 times and told us how to eat the meal properly. I mean we were treated like kids not to mention we have had Korean bbqs hundred times before. I asked the staff if they have lettuce. The answer was another straight NO. come on, who serve Korean bbq with no lettuce? The guy said just wrap it with the pickled radish....... i was speachless. there was also no sause come with the meat. We have to ask for the korean chili sauce later. The noodle we ordered had no taste, and the portion was like for kids.Now the service. There was no service what so ever during the entire meal. The staff has no facial expressions not to mention smiling. Whatever we ask the answer was always NO. ITS LIKE THEY NEVER WANTED US THERE. when I went to pay the bill, we were charged $135. Not a thank you or any other word came out of that servers mouth. No nothing!Warning to people who intend to go there. Avoid with all means necessary.....

Wont go there again. The food was tasteless and small.

Love this place. Best Korean food in Tauranga!

Great service & food! Managed to satisfy my spicy food need 😁

AMAZING. We LOVED the food here. Felt like it came straight from Korea, we imagine it must taste like this in Korea, thats how authentic it felt. It was so DELICIOUS. Were sad we cant come back for a while as we were just visiting Mount Maunganui. Thank you for the special experience. Highly recommended.

Super friendly customer service and great food. My son who usually doesnt eat too much food actually ate a lot of the food ordered. Highly would recommend going to. We will definitely be going back.

Had a great meal, the meat BBQ was fabulous. Had grandfather with us and he had a karaoki off with Charlie the owner. Loved it great evening. Well worth a visit. Eat and drink and enjoy like Koreans. Thank you Charlie excellent evening.

High price with no substance. Ordered pork belly assuming that will be bbq’d at the table but instead they gave us a hot plate with oil that was overflowing (hardly any pork on it).Only reason we tried out the place was because this place was in the entertainment book. The owner refused to honour the discount voucher (25% offbecause we didn’t spend 45 dollars even though this isn’t the term on the voucher.We wouldn’t recommend this place. There are plenty of nicer restaurants at the Mount.

Highly recommend. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and delicious food. Tasty vegetarian options (e.g. bibimbapand a good selection of BBQ meat.

Unreasonable price for Beef soup without beef, compare to other Korean reataurant Ive visited in NZ, this one is the worst!!

Great restaurant, excellent service and the food is phenomenal. Karaoke on offer.

Is great little place. If youre unsure how it works ask. The BBQ is like a starter to share, vegetables are self service, we got mains to share to. Great food.

Just 7pm. Fresh beef is not available already. Instead, we ordered beef rib. However, the portion is only as big as my palm not like the one shown in the picture from menu. And they didnt ask us if we need our rid to be grilled by them or ourselves. They straight cooked by their so called chef! N overlooked he has to refill n re-grill! We had to sit outside n wait for another 15mins. We have finished our fish roe soup 20mins ago. Cuz its really small portion thats the smallest one we have ever had compared with those in AKL! We dont have water until we finish eating n we requested. They dont refill ur appetites dishes. Super expensive!

delicious food.we enjoy the meal every time we dine here👍👍

While the selection of Korean food in Tauranga/The Mount are limited, it doesnt diminish the quality of Charlies. The food here has been consistently great every time we come here, and the staff are always friendly.

Charlies place is an amazing Korean restaurant. Its inviting and the owner is really kind and accomodating. The food is amazing, it can easily compete with some of the best Korean food in Auckland city.

Awesome service and great attention to detail. Perfect for a group.
