The food and service at Charidise is fairly average. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl and my friend got the salmon bowl. Nothing too fancy, but good enough. Our meals came with Doritos chips, which felt sort of out of place.
Charidise is... odd. Weird. Quirky, I guess? It has a lot of room and feels more like a weird mix between a diner and a coffee shop than a restaurant. (Maybe that's the vibe they're going for???) You walk in, order your food at the counter, and go find a seat. The cashier gives you this pager/tracker device (woohoo modern~~~) and the food gets delivered to you. The water is all served in plastic cups (the same one they use for the bubble teas) and contains fruit. They use bamboo (I think) bowls that seem to get thrown out after each use.
Despite its weirdness, I think that Charidise belongs on Baldwin Street. Surrounded by all these fancy schmancy busy restaurants, it's nice to know that there's a not-too-shabby restaurant nearby that you can go (and have the room!!!) to hang out with your friends. Charidise is spacious (so much room!!!!) , its menu has enough variety to please everyone, oh and did I already mention how much room there is?
