Jessica Braga: The food is delicious! Healthy, fresh, clean, staff was amazing. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back. It’s worth every penny!

Lisa Ann: I've always loved this place, however when I just went in for the first time in a couple months my jaw hit the floor at their increased prices. $20 for three small tacos and $19 for nachos. When I asked the employee if they increased their prices, he said "yea a little bit." Yea $5+ increase on every menu item is more than a little bit. Idk what made them hike their prices like this, but it's incredibly unfortunate because I would frequently come in and order multiple entrees. Today that would have cost me twice as much as previous visits ($40 for three tacos and a rice bowl??😬) Instead I walked out and am looking for a different place to eat.

Samuel Schubkegel: Fantastic place to get food.Amazing tasting food ✅Friendly and helpful staff - Great CS ✅Budget-friendly prices ✅I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The tacos are some of the best I’ve had in Grand Rapids. Definitely doing their own thing, not competing with anyone.I’ve been living here for 6 years, and this place continues to hold a unique value in the GR food scene.Take-out is what I’d suggest, although there is room to dine in.Parking isn’t ideal- street parking only. But it’s worth the hassle! I’d try Peking over by the community college or the veterans and then walking over. Or bring a friend and just do take out. Have them drop you off!

Molly G.: It took long enough to finally try this place... They are an extension of gita pita which is my ultimate fav for Mediterranean food, and my must stop if I'm in the area. Now I'll have to get a pita and taco when stopping in lolThe tacos were AMAZING, they have vegan and veg options which makes this vegetarian ecstatic!! You Have to try the teriyaki and yum yum sauce together on the tacos, corn tortillas all the way, best I've had in a while. The fried wonton was also another yummy twist, egg roll filled with cheese!

Cari Fisher: Love coming here. Food is delicious, unique and fresh! If you like Asian food, especially teriyaki, come here and try the tacos!Updated review:Stopped by here with my boyfriend after being out of town for a couple months. Apparently they hiked their prices. A trio of tacos jumped from $13.50 to over $18. $5 is a big jump and honestly, as much as we love these tacos, it's not worth paying almost $50 for 6 tacos and 2 drinks. I get the price of food for restaurants is higher, but at this rate, you're going to lose a lot of customers who can't afford the new prices.

Dave Tiesma: Great little place! My wife and I happened to be downtown and decided to grab dinner while we were here.Found Char on the map and decided to give it a try.Very glad we did!My wife got a sajiya bowl with lamb. The lamb was cooked right then and there and she loved it!I got the shrimp fried rice bowl and it was very good. Great taste.You can add different toppings and one of the employees suggested mixing 2 of the sauces. He was right, they worked well together.They have coke products- both bottles and fountain.The garlic sauce is also awesome.Give this place a try!

Carl Roger: Was not the best experience for a first-time customer. Made an order online for 2 Baklava & 2 Korean Chefs Cake that would take 30 minutes. Not a problem. I show and first have to deal with a homeless person standing out front asking for money, which is not their problem, but frustrating. When I show up, I tell the man working my pickup. And he points to the counter where there is a stack of Baklava already packaged, but they are out of the Cheesecake. So, before I can politely ask for a refund, he hands me two of the same size dishes (as Baklava) saying, "This Cinnamon..." (I could not understand what he was saying. Again, they were busy, and it was loud. He said ..."This Cinnamon....much better". I just took and went home. Needless to say, none of us were impressed with either dish. Smaller than expected, and cold. Of course, the foo had been sitting on the counter. Not sure why we had to wait 30 minutes. I am a firm believer of tipping, but for this order of $30.00, the tip was not earned at all ($6.00) - The store was clean. Just not a great first impression.Parking: No parking when we came.

MMJ 3 Family: This place is one of the best in the city and I absolutely love it. The problem is it’s now $25 for the three taco combo. Just for three tacos it’s $18.99. Nowhere on the planet should tacos cost that much. They started at $11.99 which was good. Then it rose to $14.99 and i get it costs have risen but it’s now $18.99… 5 star for creative great tasting fusion tacos but 1 star for price…

Raya Aqel: Char is a great place to eat. I've been a customer for almost over two years now. They're Muslim owned, halal food with amazing tastes and menu items. Sometimes I do find my chicken in my chicken tacos to be pink which has caused me to get sick more than twice. This is just me being honest. However, recently they raised their prices to absurd amounts. Almost $20 for 3 tacos? Are you kidding? Just a few days ago I came in for the first time in awhile, I got 6 tacos and 2 wonton cheese rolls and paid $49 and some change. My jaw dropped at the register. I have never paid this much here and I use to come here every Tuesday and Thursday when I attended GRCC. I used to pay less than $15 for 3 tacos a cheese roll and a drink. I won't be returning anytime soon. These prices are ridiculous. Char is good but not that good.

Riley Maksymiu: Sooooooooo good. Everything is so good here and they also have a ghost menu that is AMAZING!!

Katie Gentry: This was our first time eating here and they did not disappoint!!! The service was great and the food even better!! We will definitely be going back!!!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Asian Steak Tacos, Shrimp Taco, Street Tacos …More

Summer Bevan: New fav taco/fried rice joint to get some much needed lunch grub downtown. If you haven't popped in and got urself what I mentioned in the beginning your missing out.Vegetarian options: Although I'm not vegan, I did notice the vegan options they had.

Lisa H: The black bean kimchi wonton nachos are so delicious and so are the black bean kimchi tacos! The wonton chips are so yummy and a nice change from traditional nachos. Everyone is so friendly and they're helpful when you're trying to decide what to get.Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options. The black beans are really yummy!

Jalonda Mills: The food was good but I don’t think the food is worth the price !

Nigel Wu: We ordered firecracker shrimp and chef special sushi.Both were pretty good. The service was good.The chef special is customized and is based on your preference. So it might take awhile for the chef to make them. We waited about 40 mins for our sushi. It's worth the wait. But I would recommend ordering more appetizers and some not so complicated sushi if you are ordering the chef special.

A F: The sushi is worth the wait. But the wait can sometimes be too long hence the 4/5 stars

Andy Ly: I brought my family here for my moms birthday and I had high expectations due to the previous reviews, but I was overall disappointed at the service and the quality of food. It took 50 minutes for our food to come out, and by then it was closing time. Our waitress was quite curt, unfriendly and kept rushing us even though it was the kitchens fault for not having the food finished sooner. The food was also way too salty and the dishes sloppily prepared. Will not be coming back here in the future and I suggest you try a different establishment.

FriedChicken: Food is good, menu kinda like a fusion Japanese/Korean restaurant. Very cool vibe to chill and enjoy your food. Aesthetically everything are great.Cost wise, their sushi is like $2-3 more than average. Does it worth the extra cost because it is picture worthy, it is up to you. I don't think so. If you want the best bang for your buck, order their rice dishes. For average appetite, you order two signature rolls, that's almost $40.

Francesca Parnham: Maru is always consistently good. The restaurant has great vibes and the service is excellent. I’ve had Avery as a server almost every time I’ve been recently and she is absolutely phenomenal. Cocktails are delicious and balanced!

Jessie Palmer: So disappointing. We drove from out of town to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend. We had been to other Maru locations and had high hopes, but alas, we were sorely disappointed. We went for sushi... Maru is a sushi restaurant. They were out of tuna, and had zero other sashimi style fish available on the menu. Unfortunately neither the hostess nor our server told us this until we had already consumed cocktails and could not leave without it being awkward. So we ordered alternate (cooked) choices, and they were very disappointing, plus everything all came out at once rather than in courses. There wasn't enough room on the table and my husband couldn't reach his steak because they put other plates in front of him. By the time he finished his appetizer, it was cold and our server was nowhere to be found. My hibachi salmon was salty, like it had been soaked overnight in soy sauce. Another server stopped by our table and said "you don't want more drinks, do you"? A third server stood at our table and watched my friend eat his last couple of bites, then snatched the plate as soon as he put his chopsticks down. The manager(?) Brought our checks before we even ordered dessert, and already had it split, rather than asking if we were on a single bill (we were planning to treat our guests for my friends birthday) which created yet another awkward situation. My husband wrote on the bill that he would like a call from the manager to discuss our evening- it has been a week and still no call. The wine was good, though... too bad I couldn't get a second glass. :(

Dan Elzinga: This was my first time ever to a sushi restaurant so I really have nothing to say about the food. Could be great, could be mediocre, I have nothing to compare it with.The service, however was the strangest restaurant service experience I have had in the United States.They were out of Tuna, which seems like a fairly big deal for a sushi restaurant, but it wasn’t until we tried to order that the waitress told us that.Despite a question about salad dressings when ordering, and believing we had ordered blue cheese dressing, it wasn’t until the salads came out that we were told there is only one salad dressing option.Timing of the food was off, the hibachi course was delivered at the same time as the rolls and there really wasn’t room on the table for everything. When food arrived it was the last time our waitresses came to our table.I’ve never been ghosted by a waitress. It was strange. She was still there serving other tables but never so much as acknowledged our existence after that point.After this we had at least 5 other staff come over to clear plates, refill drinks etc, which was rather awkward, and felt like we were being rushed out. At one point one of the staff who came to pick up plates literally stood there waiting for me to eat the last bite and then took my plate as soon as I set down my chopsticks.Then, I assume it was the manager came over with our checks and asked if we wanted one check or two. Even though she had clearly already run two separate checks. When we said we had thought about dessert she was clearly annoyed.It just kept getting stranger and stranger the longer we were there, so we opted to go elsewhere for dessert.

Tophiachuu Chuu: Service was great… but managers are so rude. Treat their employees like garbage… did some research on the background of this company and looks like it’s an ongoing problem. Real shady, Maru. Not going to be stopping here again. That’s for sure.

Mike Webb: Very good! I had the Ocean's Eleven and my wife had hibachi, with both of us sharing the crab rangoon dip. It took a little while to get to us, but when it did the food was great.

Heather Morrison: A great place to grab dinner with friends to catch up! They have a large variety of appetizers and entrees, so everyone will find something they enjoy.As a table, we tried a couple of apps and a handful of different rolls and everything was delicious. The Crab Rangoon Dip is very creamy and rich and the Gyoza is perfect.For rolls, we ordered the Cali, Philly, Crouching Tiger, Ex-Girlfriend, Nirvana, and Crunchy Crab. Everything was delicious.For drinks, I tried the Soup Lemonade and I think the sangria. Both were good!Parking: Parking can be challenging close to the building but you can always find something, you might just have to walk a few blocks.
