Barkadas

Atmosphere is casual yet refined, service was wonderful! Food was delicious all around the table for my party of seven.
First time visit and I will definitely be back!

Adding Barkadas to our required dinner spots when visiting Charleston. We had a fantastic dinner here last night, sampling a few appetizers and bao buns. I had the Chicken Karaage buns, and gochujang aioli was a perfect flavor with the right amount of heat to the perfectly crispy chicken. The lumpia was great, and the flip bar fries were amazing. They have a great wine list and plenty of drink selections.

We visit Charleston from Detroit about five times a year (we have family here). We always go to Barkadas when we’re in town. We just had an amazing lunch there today. Mark, our server, was absolutely fantastic. He was the ONLY FOH person on staff/on the floor. He took ALL tables, was the bartender, and took & organized all takeout. He did EVERYTHING with a smile on his face, and his personality was infectious. We had talked this place up to my parents, and they thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Food was excellent as always, and the service was excellent! We shall see you in the Spring 😃

This place is super clean and has an upscale feel to it. I also love the unique menu items they offer.
The biggest disappointment was the value. I had the Chicken Karaage and some bao buns, and it was all a bit on the bland side. But there just wasn't much to it. We were still really hungry after eating here, so we stopped at grocery store on the way home and picked up a second dinner.
I'd say this is the perfect place to take a date if you want to show them you have more refined tastes, but don't want to feel full and gassy afterwards.

We enjoyed the delicious tasting food. My wife is Filipino and she approves of the food here.
I had the chicken adobo burrito which was great and my wife had a pork belly bowl (I forgot the name of the exact dish). Both had loads of Filipino flavors, the food was fresh and the staff were extremely friendly.
The ambience is a sports bar (tvs on the wall and a bar on one side) and was clean and welcoming. We don't drink but they had a large selection of wines, beer, etc. I recommend this restaurant, come taste the flavors of the Philippines.

Just discovered this place in Charleston and was pleasantly surprised. The location is good, I got takeout and didn’t dine in but the place looked clean and nice on the inside. The food was good though a little under seasoned for my taste but still a nice experience.
The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was the service, I was on the phone for less than 2 min to make my order and that ruined my whole experience the lady on the phone was very rude she didn’t answer any of questions. So it would probably be better to order online to avoid talking to her.
I really hope they work more on their

We have travelled extensively and eaten at hundreds and hundreds of varied restaurants. We just don't get it, with what our experience was today.
Parking good. It was busy but got seated right away. Atmosphere is like a brew pub. To start, service was friendly but slow throughout the visit. And, I mean Slooooow. It took forever to get our drinks. Then forever to get our food. And, after ordering another club soda and Mimosa, the waiter brought us a Bloody Mary after being told "no more Bloody Mary's" (the original one was waaaay toooo hot!), and to please duplicate her two drinks. Well, they did

Would give 100 stars if I could! We ordered takeout tonight and it was outstanding. The food was still hot when we picked it up and as good as eating in. We got a BYO burger with fancy sauce, pork belly, and cheddar and it was divine. We also got the pork belly bowl which had the most delicious rice and pork belly I've ever had. The fries were also impressively good and they have good ranch if you're into ranch. We're not from Charleston, but will definitely be stopping by again if we're passing through the town!

Excellent food and impeccable service from the staff. We have been here a number of times and have been blown away by how good the food is. The SOB bar fries are probably some of the best cheese fries I have ever had.
