Description

Charlie and Soomi Chi’s Korean barbecue food truck has been a fixture at community events and breweries since it first set up outside a Bee Ridge gas station in 2016. Now the couple has launched a brick-and-mortar restaurant: Charlie’s Bulgogi. The Chis’ truck is best known for its pork, beef and chicken bulgogi bowls ($9.99-$10.99) and bibimbaps ($11.95-$15.95). You’ll still find those at the restaurant, but the menu has expanded, with bulgogi skillets ($16.95-$21.95), cook-it-yourself options made possible by the small grills in the center of each table ($21.95-$24.95), plus udong ($12.95), soups ($9.95-$11.95), dumplings (five for $6) and more.
