A new Korean restaurant called Charim has just opened its doors in Kitsilano, and the team behind it has thought of every detail, right down to traveling to Korea to source its bowls.

“We’re carefully choosing every detail to bring a special Korean-inspired dining experience to Kitsilano,” wrote the restaurant on its Instagram.

On the menu, you’ll be able to find flame-grilled BBQ, bibimbap, and plenty of banchan made for sharing.

“Korean food is about gathering around good meat, warm rice, and many small flavours, all shared together. Whether this is your first taste of Korea or a flavour you grew up with, we are glad you are here. Come hungry, and leave feeling like family,” wrote Charim on its website.

It also boasts a menu made with natural ingredients, such as fresh vegetables, prime marbled beef, and more.

Located at 1944 W. 4th Ave., Charim has opened its doors in the former home of Fable Kitchen, which closed its doors in September.
