“ Chas Market & Kitchen is a true hole-in-the-wall experience for the unassuming. We were staying downtown but wanted KBBQ. We were pleasantly surprised to find Chas located so close to us. Pulling up, it looked like an old retail plaza just off the interstate. Walking in, we thought we were in a convenience store until one of the workers told us to sit down anywhere. Turns out, they have a dining area in the middle of the store, complete with table stoves and vent hoods. We were happy to learn that they offer an AYCE for $30 + tax. It comes with a bottle of water that you can grab from one of the wall coolers. They also have soju and Japanese beer available, as well as sodas and other drinks for purchase. We ordered the brisket, spicy pork bulgogi, and galbi. Side dishes and a bowl of rice were served to us and the brisket was brought out soon after. The waitress turned on the stove for us and gave us a tong and a pair of scissors to work with. To our surprise, the galbi and spicy pork bulgogi came out fully cooked, and they were full-size portions! The brisket we were cooking ourselves also had a ribeye steak hiding underneath on the same plate! Needless to say, we were completely stuffed full from this meal. They do charge $15 extra per person if the food isn't finished so that motivated us to push forward. I believe AYCE has a two-hour limit, so there's plenty of time to pace yourself. We ended the night on a $72 + tip, which we thought was well worth it and an instant family favorite. ”

“ I'm Korean. I like Chas because it's authentic Korean food. The marinades, sides, it's all good. I especially like our Korean server. He's a good dude, polite, friendly but I'm not a fan of the ladies who move at a snail's pace. The electric grills and paper plates are no good but it is what it is. I like supporting Korean businesses so I'll visit Chas for their bibimpap and bulgogi. ”

“ We haven't had Korean food in a while and decided to visit @chaskoreanbbq. We had a good first visit and went back for more. Dad and I shared the Coco Milk with mango, and Hubby had Arizona Green Tea. We started with the Pan-Fried Dumplings. We then shared the Galbi, Japchae, and Beef Bulgogi. The photo for the bulgogi seemed unclear but it was steaming hot when it got to our table. Everything was delicious and the ban chan (sides) were fantastic too. If you're in the downtown area looking for a legit Korean restaurant, look no further! ”

“ First time coming to this little spot after doctor appointment. We ordered dolsot bimbimbap and galbitang soup. First time trying galbitang soup. It was very delicious!! We'll be back. Update: second visit. The best bulgogi in town! Will be back for the Galbi next time. ”

“ In a city where sadly Korean food isn't all to abundant. Let alone Korean BBQ. This place gets it right. All you can eat. And not in a gimmicky way where you can only order a specific number of meats at a time. Located in a lil bodega pretty much this place whips up Korean Eatz. Super dope vibe you can walk up to the store side of the location and grab a beer, soju, or just a soda. Sit down order your meat and dig in. They give you a tub of rice and sure sometimes they get busy but they do there best to get to you in a timely manner. I love this spot it is super dope and has a soul to it if that makes sense. When I kept ordering the ribeye the owner came up to me personally and cut it fresh for me. Little things like that go a long way. Great spot! Best Korean BBQ in San Antonio, TX. ”

“ I didn't expect this place to be this good! From the outside, Chas Market and Kitchen looks super unassuming--it's a bit random and doesn't really scream "restaurant," but once you step inside and taste the food, you'll be blown away. We ordered the Korean BBQ Short Ribs, Bulgogi, and Galbitang. Korean BBQ Short Ribs - an absolute standout--so juicy and tender with a marinade that was perfectly balanced between sweet, savory, and smoky. This was my favorite dish of the day. Bulgogi - thinly sliced, perfectly cooked, and just the right level of sweetness. The meat was tender and flavorful, practically melting in your mouth. It had that addictive, comforting flavor you can't stop eating. Galbitang - The broth was rich and full of depth, clearly made with high-quality ingredients. You could tell it had been simmered for hours to bring out all that flavor. The soup was hearty, warming, and filled with tender beef and soft, delicious vegetables. Honestly, this place is a hidden gem. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by! Don't let the exterior fool you. The food is top-notch, and the service was friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back! ”

“ This place is a cool hole in the wall family establishment! I liked their mandu/dumplings ($9.99) and the galbi/short ribs ($24.99). The mandu dumplings are slightly sweet and they have the clear noodles in the filling. The galbi was pretty pricey because you get about 9 pieces. The tteokboki was on the sweeter side. They also give you lots of different side dishes, which are delicious! They also sell lots of different drink options that you just pick from the fridges. Also there are asian snacks by the cash register. The service was very friendly. It took around 20 minutes to get our food on a Friday evening. Side note, they don't allow backpacks inside! It was cool to hear about the history of the place. It first started off as a meat market, but then a Korean couple bought it. They then kept it as a meat market, but changed it to a Korean restaurant a few decades ago. ”

“ If folks are looking for a delicious Korean meal near central San Antone, this is it! I love how the restaurant is in a gas station-style convenience store. It really adds to the vibe, and the food is excellent. I enjoy bringing folks here to eat. They also have AYCE Korean barbecue, which I haven't tried, but the quality looks to be what you'd expect for the price. They're a la carte meals are excellent, and I've never been disappointed. Affordable, tasty, and relaxed. What's not to like? Plenty of parking out front. Make sure you check their hours before visiting! ”

“ This is the BEST hole in the wall Korean restaurant I have ever been to! My sister frequents here often and she recommend it, and now I'm recommending it to everyone that reads this review! Don't let the outside of the restaurant scare you away because I sure as heck thought it was a little sketchy. Even more sketchy inside! The food here is truly authentic! It's delicious! They make everything fresh. They are not open all day so you have to get there before dinner. I also noticed that they have Mexican food too that was not on their menu. The service here is just ok, there are various of people that will come ask to take your order and bring out your food. There's a younger guy that is very nice, the older women were not as pleasant, but it could be a generation thing ‍ I really can't wait to come back and try something new! ”
