Charbro - Kawasaki

Recently hit up Charbro in Musashi Kosugi which seems to be known for its hamburgers, but there are other things on the menu that they are building their reputation on, such as charbroiled rib-eye steak, BBQ pork back ribs (which unfortunately were sold out by the time we got there). Since it was after dinner when we met we weren’t too hungry but did want to try some of the menu. We went with Pastrami sandwiches (though, it wasn’t as pink/red as I’ve always seen them), jalapeño poppers and Buffalo wings. The pastrami sandwich was easily one of the thickest sandwiches I’ve seen in Japan, I know... not saying much, but these were properly “thick sandwiches (see photo) and we thought tasted great. The jalapeño poppers were really good and among the biggest I’ve ever seen and the Buffalo wings tasted like traditional/classic Buffalo wings but with a bit of a kick, which I thought was step above the norm flavor-wise. The restaurant serves 3 taps of beer 2 of which at the time of our visit were craft beer of Portland’s Gigantic, of which one was Glow Cloud, a New England IPA which was fantastic and Fluffy Tufts Juicy IPA, which was good but not as much as the Glow Cloud, IMHO. They serve mixed drinks as well. As for other menu items, we saw some favorites like cornbread, BLT, beer batter Fish Chips, Tuna Melt, New England Clam Chowder, Fried pickles, Black eyed Peas, Fried chicken leg, spaghetti w/meatballs, and of course an assortment of burgers. Although we didn’t try any of those, I’m hopeful that those won’t disappoint. The restaurant has a cozy bar counter on the first floor, which is where we sat and where all the food is cooked as well. There are tables upstairs as well which can probably seat a few groups. The music was primarily 70’s soul music and I really liked the feel of the place. It was a relaxed atmosphere with great food, great beer and great music. I will definitely be back. Would love to hear other people’s thoughts of this place.

They were out of ribs when I visited. I ordered the tuna melt; it was good. The cornbread with chili con carne? was tasty. The fries were good, too. The chowder was ok. It'll return to try the ribs, and maybe a steak.

Juicy! These burgers are packed with it and although they give you burger wrapper, it can still get a lil messy if you aren't careful! Came for lunch on a weekday and enjoyed the cheeseburger for 1200 which comes with a little tub of coleslaw and fries. You can taste the beefiness of the patty. Satisfied!

Delicious burger. We had the bacon cheese burger and BLT sandwich. They grill the burger on coal so I liked the smoked taste of the meat. Sandwich was also good bread toasted with butter and garlic. They serve very fast. They also serve some craft beer and other alcoholic beverages. I wanna go during holidays for the buffalo wings and jalapeño poppers (coz they only serve it on weekends and holidays datte) All in all, good place to eat.

The burger was more juicy and tasty than in other Burger restaurants near the railway station. the music and decoration makes it a beautiful atmosphere. the price was reasonable.
