It was good! The Sticky Rice Martini was so good. U taste the alcohol slightly but besides that, delicious. Appetizers are small but delicious and the portion sizes of the entrees were great. FYI, the soda’s are the TINY bottles for $5. Not a refilling soda place.

First visit for date night and it did not disappoint! Started with mango sticky rice martini - OMG delish! Our appetizers (dumpling, taco, sticky bun) were all yummy! For our main course we had Ramein and Drunken Noodles. The seasonings were perfect, the food was a large portion and it came out HOT! Will definitely visit again. I prefer sitting downstairs versus upstairs.

We had such a fun time here for our friends birthday trip! Our girl Rachel was so sweet and took the best care of our large group! The drinks were delicious and the food came out quickly and was very tasty! Also loved that they had a gluten free menu for my friend! Highly recommend

We had an amazing time at CO celebrating my daughter’s birthday. The bartender serving us went above and beyond to make our dinner special. I recommend the mango sticky rice drink, Thai green curry, Pad Thai and Asian crunch salad! But everything on the menu is delicious!!

Love the remodel! Thank you to Natalie for the excellent service. The food was delicious as always. I was only able to pop in for a yummy happy hour (which has fabulous selections!) I will be back for a proper supper soon. Thank you again Natalie! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Natalie was friendly and service was quick. They have a specific Gluten free menu. The spring rolls were delicious and my fried ores the dumplings. Try the lychee martini, the most exotic flavor I have ever had.

Everything about my dining experience here was spectacular. The food was absolutely amazing (the crab Rangoon was so delicious that we ended up ordering multiple rounds of it) and the atmosphere was so cool. Our server, Lindsay, provided us with amazing service and I would absolutely recommend asking for her during your visit! Next time I am in the area, I will totally be back here!

Bartender last Friday was great and the drinks were tasty, had the blackberry whiskey cocktail and the cucumber fizz. Both were quite tasty and shared the spicy rangoons which were a little smaller than expected but were delicious!

Co is one of the best spots in Charleston for Asian cuisine. Although currently under renovations, prior to temporarily closing this was a personal favorite spot of mine. One of the highlights at Co is their Pad Thai, which is hands down my favorite in all of Charleston. The menu features a variety of other delicious options I frequently order, including my second favorite- the mango summer rolls. The drinks are also great, with a wide variety of options to choose from. The service at Co is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Co is a must-visit for its outstanding Pad Thai and diverse, well-crafted menu.

This is my 2nd time in here but 1st time eating. I came in another time at 4 and sat at the bar. The bartender told me they were not serving food for an hour because only one cook showed up and they needed time to get caught up. Yikes that's rough and I decided to come back another time. I've been told great things about this place so I've been anticipating on coming here for weeks. Gotta say I'm not impressed. I came back here on a Friday late afternoon and bar had open seating so I was hopeful they served food this time and I mainly came for restaurant week. Bartender had a group at the bar she was tending too so I got a water while waiting for her. She apologized it was taking longer to get back to me because it was about 10 mins. I would say smiling goes a looooong way. I'm not saying she was mean or rude, but not a friendly hospitality warm greet as I expected. I'm noticing that happening often as I've visited places here in downtown Charleston. I manage a restaurant in a hotel, being warm and hospitable is number 1. Anyways so I ordered the 3 course for $25. Spicy crab Rangoon, curry laksa broth and pad Thai. I know this place obviously has an American flare or influence on the food but that's expected in Charleston. Rangoons were good, a touch of spice. Laksa broth was probably the best thing I had here. Flavorful, good savory notes and the strong curry taste which I really enjoyed. Pad Thai, noodles over cooked and saturated in sauce. Then I noticed no beans sprouts (my fave texture in pad Thai) then no chicken and I'm pretty sure Napa cabbage? Not mad about the cabbage but definitely doesn't come in pad Thai. I know tamarind is a component in pad Thai, but that's all I tasted. Not a good balance of what I'm used to with pad Thai. Sweet, savory and tangy so eh. I'm sure they have some other really good dishes but after the hype I'm a bit disappointed. Glad I only paid $31 for all of this. I think I'll go back to Ha long bay for viet food down here. They are consistently good and friendly.

I've been to Co a few times and love the dishes here! I love that they have a gluten free menu available. I had the gf Pho and my husband had Ramen and both were perfect for the cold night. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. Only knocking a star off because while our server was really nice, service was really slow. To the point we almost left because it had been nearly 15 minutes before anyone came to our table. But glad we stayed for the food!

We stopped in on a Wednesday evening so it wasn't very busy. Lots of open tables and were told to seat ourself. We sat upstairs and were greeted fairly quickly. And asked for our drink orders. We found it odd that they don't offer sweet tea in the south and no straws for their drinks (not even paper ones). It's just kinda gross to drink from the glass cup because we all know cups don't get cleaned well in F&B. She came back with our drinks and we placed our food order and appetizer. We over heard A table behind us got their meal before their appetizer, which was odd. And noticed a lot of people still waiting on food, for not such a busy restaurant. About 40mins passed, (other tables still haven't gotten food that were there before us) so we asked if our food can be boxed to go, because it was just taking longer than we planned. Shortly after that our app came out. Yay! We were quickly disappointed, as a Vietnamese individual the fresh shrimp spring rolls were absolutely horrible! How do you even mess them up? Every bite felt like we're were eating sand! It was HORRIBLE! We didn't even finish the two rolls, it was that BAD! About an hour after ordering our food came out for to-go. Again other tables who ordered before us still haven't gotten their food. We paid and left. When we got home to eat, the meal was mediocre and I've had way better pho. It was bland and sour, it also lacked something but I couldn't tell you specifically because again it was sour and I could barely eat it. Overall disappointing because I've had them before during Covid and was obsessed. Now this restaurant is off my list and likely won't be coming back. Only giving 2 stars because the server was nice. But the food would get ZERO stars.

We stopped here for a quick lunch. Sat at the bar. Wait staff was very nice and quick but a bit unprofessional. Bartender was using his phone in front of us in clear sight. Not even trying to be discreet. Another staff member was eating and drinking directly diagonally from where our seats were at the bar. They were talking about how hard it is to get fired from the restaurant lol. I thought that was funny how relaxed the management is. But I rated it 3 stars because the pho wasn't good. It was just beef. Wish they added some meatballs or tendon or tripe but since this isn't an authentic place, they didn't offer it. The dumplings were more doughy. Couldn't even taste the meat or kimchi. The sauce was bland. Not spicy at all. The curry was too salty and not authentic either but the portions were huge and you do get a lot of food for the meals. Overall, it satisfied my pho/Asian craving but I wouldn't come back.

My husband did his research and found this gem on Yelp while we were visiting and I'm so glad he did. We had to wait for a seat at the bar because the upstairs area was closed, but it was worth the wait. We enjoyed the pork belly bao buns, fresh spring rolls and the ramen. All of the flavors were so delicious and fresh. The bartender was really friendly too and the food came out fast! They have Sapporo on tap too which was an added bonus. Don't forget to ask for their house made hot sauces!

Overall, love it here! The spicy pho was extremely good, however, it did seem like theyjust pulled chicken off of a rotisserie chicken ... texture was a little dry and not flavored at all. Definitely wish a little more love went into the chicken. Others got the rare beef and that was good! As for the service, we had a great experience. We sat downstairs at the long table and were helped by the bartender. She was very friendly and helpful with the menu. I will say, the quality of the food seems to have declined ever so slightly from a few years ago. Also, not very busy anymore which is a good and bad thing. Nice casual place to go hang out and grab some dinner, lunch, or drinks!

I flew in the day before for a work trip and was craving Asian cuisine for dinner. I was exhausted and didn't want to dine out so I placed an order for pickup to eat in my room. I decided on the Summer Rolls and Drunken Thai Noodles. Even though I don't care for peanut sauce, I liked that the Summer Rolls came with both sauces so people can choose and decide. Unfortunately for me, the nuoc cham tasted off. It was very garlicky (and I love garlic) but it seems like the ratio of fish sauce and vinegar was off when they made it - like, there wasn't enough fish sauce in it and I was dipping my Summer Rolls in garlic water. I didn't enjoy my Drunken Thai Noodles as the chicken was overcooked and super charred in some pieces and there were a lot of basil stems in the noodles. It's as if the chef threw it in whole versus plucking the leaves. The noodles were sweeter than I anticipated and I couldn't finish the dish. It was a decent meal though but could have been better.

Some of the best Vietnamese ramen I have ever had. The combination of the pulled pork, pork belly and poached egg was unreal. The broth in and of itself was something to crave when you leave. Wish I remember the bartenders name but she ran the entire downstairs and bar area by herself and crushed it. If you are near King street in Charleston check this place out. Side bonus, they she Sapporo on draft!

I like asian fusion kind of food. So I went here with some expectations. we ordered edamame gyoza, Vietnamese limeade, mango summer roll and papaya salad. The limeade never arrived. there was only one server on the floor and she may have forgotten. the gyoza was alight and so was the mango roll. the problem was that in both cases - outer layers of gyoza and the rice paper on the summer roll were too thick. that takes away from the mouthfeel of the food. the papaya salad was not necessarily traditional taste and had far too much cabbage. i have had it better. the service was slow. all in all, I would nit be rushing back here in a hurry.

If you're looking for some good Asian food downtown then CO is definitely a spot to check out. It's a little pricey being in the heart of downtown but the ambiance is cool and the food is great - so I think it's worth it. The service is usually pretty good here, I've sat at the bar a few times and always find the bartenders are fast and friendly. They also take part in restaurant week yearly so keep an eye out for that.

I can't believe how many times I've walked by this place and finally went in for the first time! My friend and I had dinner here and did the restaurant week menu -- it was so much food I got to take leftovers home, and I'm NOT complaining. I can't wait to come back especially for their happy hour menu (pork belly steamed buns?!) I had the edamame dumplings which were delicious in a fantastic sauce, the curry broth soup which was so spicy and so good with cut up cucumber, and the Korean beef bowl I barely made a dent in. So many great flavors! I'll bringing visitors here for sure.

We were in Charleston for a two-day trip, and while walking/shopping around Kings Street, we decided to stop by for lunch at CO. Edamame Momos - I have never in my life eaten such thick hard, pretty much cold momos Mango Summer Roll - My husband said it didn't taste good, so I didn't bother tasting it. Papaya Salad - It is full of cabbage and less papaya and very chewy tofu and completely lacks any flavor whatsoever. We didn't want to waste food, so we ended up eating as much as we could. Not sure what is going on because the reviews from a year ago looked good. We should have Yelp sorted recent reviews before we decided to stop by. Oh well! We live and learn.

I've been eating at Co for years and it's consistently good! I usually always get the drunken noodles with either chicken or steak, it's one of my favorite noodle dishes in town. Paired with one of the fun cocktails, Co is the perfect dinner spot! The homemade hot sauces are also delicious, I love the sriracha

CO's food was amazing. We had a few appetizers including pork gyoza and spicy crab rangoons along with a Korean rice bowl and ramen. We arrived around 4 for happy hour and ordered 2 sake carafe as well. The food was very good and the staff was OK. The one girl forgot to put in my friends Korean bowl until she overheard we say it which was fine but they just weren't very attentive.

I absolutely love all Asian cuisine, especially Vietnamese. So when I researched Vietnamese in Charleston I was stoked to come across CO. But I wound up leaving extremely underwhelmed. Firstly, the place has a really cute atmosphere. Very chic and trendy, I can see the appeal of bringing in a customer base. But honestly? That's really it. To start, I don't know if it was just the day we came but we sat upstairs and the air conditioning seemed to be broken. I was sweating nonstop and people around me seemed uncomfortable. This was so unpleasant and essentially was the main contributor of me wanting to high tail it out of there. It's June, why is the air conditioning not working properly? Maybe it was just a one off? Our waiter, although nice, wasn't attentive. I had a hard time hearing him because he spoke low and the music was loud I had to repeat my questions several times because I just couldn't hear him. We had to flag him down for refills and our check. We ordered appetizers from happy hour, and yes it was half off but the portions were so small it was frustrating. Although the crab Rangoons were delicious as well as the dumplings! For dinner, I ordered the Korean rice bowl and my boyfriend ordered the pho. Both dishes were really bland. For the amount of ingredients that was listed in the description, I expected it to be so much more flavorful then it really was. Very underwhelming and just an OK dish. I found myself wanting to hightail out of there as soon as I could. Although the decor and ambiance was very cozy, the food wasn't it for me and I regret not choosing an alternative location. If you do check them out, make sure you sit on the bottom floor for cooler temps and possibly sit at the bar for more attentive service.

Came here for lunch on Sunday. Service was great, and it's a nice little space. My food however came up a bit short of satisfactory. The rice in my rice bowl was undercooked. The steak was a bit dry and a little stiff to chew through. That being said, the sauces and flavors were excellent. Overall it's a decent place. I'm not craving to come back, but if a group of friends wanted to go, I wouldn't object either.

Great food !!! Nice ambiance upstairs and downstairs . Service was alright I would say . Only downfall is that WHERE IS THE SUSHIII???? Other locations have sushi and I would think they carry sushi also since they are near the beach and fresh seafood . I've visit the charlotte location a lot and when I'm in Charleston !

CO Restaurant in Charleston offers a modern twist on Southeast Asian cuisine. With a stylish atmosphere and attentive service, it's a delightful dining destination. From fresh sushi rolls to aromatic noodle bowls, each dish bursts with flavor. Don't miss the pad Thai and crispy spring rolls. Whether you're a fan of Asian cuisine or seeking a memorable meal, CO Restaurant delivers.

#fatjared say...a tucked away hidden gem that I would absolutely come back to! Not perfect, but a great time!! Don't blink or you'll miss this place. Right on the East side of King Street with not much signage, but really great food. Not perfect, but I would suggest coming here for solid Vietnamese! There was 1 issue with the night, and unfortunately I will never give you a 5 star review if it's not a perfect experience. The Bun Xao (Vermicelli bowl) was just not great. Noodles were overcooked and authentically from Vietnam they should be cold. Other than that I highly suggest everything we ordered. The presentation is great, food comes out quick but it is definitely fresh, the taste is all authentic and unique with the right accompaniments for the dishes, and the choices are just enough to meet anyone and everyones needs! Favorite thing was the wings. So well cooked, well seasoned, and priced well. That goes for everything. A very fair price for the great taste. Give CO a try! It's great asian food to take a break from the seafood choices all over Charleston, and a true hidden gem! Highly suggest trying it.

Just no. It has been 2 hours since I finished my disgusting spicy pho and I am starving now like I haven't ate dinner. The portions were small for the price $15 for a bowl of pho!!! I opened my to go bag and found 2 canister of pho soups when I only placed one order of pho. Very confused about that... Now if the soup base was good, I dont mind the extra. The spicy pho had a very oily soup base, slight hint of spice with sour and a whole lot of salty. It was the worst pho I have had in my life. The gyozas were not bad but the pork was very dry inside. The Korean rice plate was the only OK edible thing I ordered. Very disappointed and hungry! Update: I didn't feel well after this review was written. I had the worst headache, nausea and chills. Food poisoning symptoms. I slept and just woke up, still some nausea. This is the only Vietnamese pho place that has ever made me sick. Yuck.

I went to this establishment for a quick lunch during my work day. After reading lovely reviews about the Pho I wanted to try it. First this place smells like old mop water and sewage as soon as you walk in and encounter the bar. But I stayed. I ordered the beef pho bowl and got a dirty plate with wilted vegetables and it wasn't steaming hot. I was done. This is one of the grossest restaurants I've been to.

I was looking forward to dining here however I came away very disappointed. To say the least. Very inattentive, did not get silverware with my meal. The explanation was "we are out of forks" 7:00 in the evening and not crowded. I ended up eating with a spoon. O napkins but cocktail napkins either. I ordered the green curry with tofu and it was spiced just right, however the peppers were almost too large to eat. Poor prep. Just poor all around.

A few friends and I came for dinner on a Friday night and were seated pretty quickly downstairs. Service and food were a bit slow but they apologized profusely although we didn't mind. I ordered the Vietnamese ramen and got to say it was sub-par. Not the worst and not the best I've had. Personally found it to be flavorless and depended on the side of hot sauce I requested. Friends ordered the spicy beef pho and I believe a Vietnamese tofu salad and said they enjoyed. If I were to go back, I'd personally skip the ramen and order something else. But service was friendly which I always love!!

Came here for dinner. Setting and restaurant is very clean. The service was phenomenal and our waiter was so sweet. She really helped with accommodation and section of food. The drinks were great as well. I had a lychee martini , you can never go wrong with it and it was made well. However the food was really subpar. I ordered the summer rolls and I've definitely had fresher tasting rolls elsewhere. Also my husband ordered the drunken noodles - pad kee mao is suppose to be a flat noodle but they used a the thin rice noodles of pad Thai. In addition, it was SO SALTY (and I mean I can handle salty food and this was excessive) though it did have good flavor to an extent it was not what drunken noodles are suppose to taste like. My laksa curry dish tasted like a bomb of salty turmeric water and the noodles were so over cooked, had a few bites and that's all really. If you are going to come here I would stick to the drinks and possibly take a grander at the apps but not so much for a main course meal.

Service was awful. Seated at table without silverware, napkins food sat in front of us for almost 30 minutes with nothing utensils to eat with. Asked numerous servers and was told it hadn't come out of the dish room yet. Portion appetizer extremely small. Food bland servers response to us throughout entire meal, (thank you for your patience)!!! Do not recommend this place Ps I called restaurant to speak to a manager left message no response back.

I'm going to have a very unpopular opinion here, but I absolutely hated the curry laksa broth. It tasted like they just used a bunch of cheap coconut oil to try and get the coconut flavor. It wasn't creamy, it was good. The chicken breast pieces that were in there were terribly salty. I ate the noodles and the veggies, but left the rest. It was awful. If that was the only s dish our party had it would have been one star. The Spicy Udon and Spicy Pho were apparently quite good. The two who ordered those can't wait to go back. Based on my dish, I would never return.

Yum!!!! Loved every bite!!! I'm super picky with Asian food and this place did NOT disappoint!! We walked right past the restaurant at first...hard to tel what the place was, until we looked at Yelp. This restaurant is not very big, but luckily we got the last 2 seats at the bar. We ordered the tofu bao and the Curry Laksa noodles. The ladies that were sitting next to us (locals) were eating the curry laksa and told us it was their favorite menu item, so we got it too. OMG!!! We finished every bite and every drop of broth. It I had a small square of bread, I would've wiped the bowl clean. I also ordered the lychee ice tea (I wasn't feeling like a cocktail, although there were many yummy sounding ones on the menu), but I loved my non-alcoholic ice tea. I would come back to Charleston just for this bowl of noodles again.

I'm not sure if it was a bad day or if it was super busy. I ordered pick up on Memorial Day and ordered curry laksa which was great and the Bun Bo Hue which they call it spicy pho. The fried rice tasted extremely salty too :(, which is usually not normal. For my pick up order...while I understand they put a little slit on the top of the container to let out the steam from the hot broth the container for the Bun Bo Hue was completely cut down the middle and ripped. I think they need to handle with care and like other noodle shops wrap Saran Wrap and a rubber band on top. More than half of my broth was spilled and sloshed around in the Togo bag. I tried to call them three times as this meal was not cheap $17 but no one answered. Hoping someone reaches out soon?

Been going to CO for a number of years now. We've always been happy with the food and the vibe. This visit we stopped in for an early bite. Wife ordered the Gyoza and the wings. Wings (5) were good and full of flavor but were very small. The gyoza (4) were TINY! They were about half the size of a "normal" gyoza. We actually laughed out loud when the server delivered them to the table! I went with my "go to" Curry Laksa. The flavors were spot on as usual. But, we both believed the bowls have gotten smaller (shallower). Service was great. Not thrilled with the volume of food.

Interesting Vietnamese menu that is pretty well executed. This from someone whose eaten in dark alleys of Hanoi and the thump-thump coffee houses in Danang. Cody spot with a good vibe. Good for a date night. If you haven't had Vietnamese, it's not going to intimidate you with strange ingredients or flavors. It's a refreshing complement to Chinese, Japanese and Thai restaurants.

Ok the food was ok, the tacos really good but the spring rolls had hard pieces in it, old rice noodles I think. Ugh.But I could have let that all go if the waitress was a least friendly.she was cold and uninterested. Never asked how everything was, even when picking out the hard object as she watched. Never hated how everything was.Nothing more that do you want to order anything else. I will pass next time thank you

We were on a road trip and stopped to visit Charleston for a few hours. We had lunch at this amazing restaurant! The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and fast at taking about orders and bringing our food. It was a hot summer day outside so we were happy to take a break from the heat and enjoy a nice meal in an air conditioned environment. I definitely recommend this restaurant, and am looking forward to stop there again next time I'm in town!

Celebrated my friend's birthday at CO last night and had a great time. A Monday night is a great time to visit if you don't want to fight for a table. We were seated upstairs and had a great waitress. She was patient with us - we were catching up after not having seen each other in a while and took a long time to order, but she never seemed annoyed at waiting. I started with a happy hour drink (the blackberry bourbon fizz, $5) and we shared an edamame spring roll appetizer ($5). When we finally got around to looking at the menu, I wanted probably half of the items on there. I ended up ordering the Korean rice bowl ($16) and brought home the majority of it to enjoy for lunch today. I also ordered the dark n' peach ($11.50). Everything was great and we had perfect service.

I've been here a few times and it's always great! The prices have gone up a good bit from the last time I came here, which was a little disappointing. I got the drunken noodles with chicken, my partner got the chicken pho and we shared the edamame gyoza, which were amazing! The service was great in the beginning, but they could use another server as it can get pretty busy. I'll definitely still be coming back again!

What more can I say about CO that all of their adoring customers haven't already said? This intimately lit Korean eatery May seem small, but it's actually the perfect size for an amazing evening of food and fun. Because of the smaller space and closer proximity for seating, it stimulates conversation and closeness. The exquisite dishes are worth coming back for, and the portion sizes are fit for a King. My husband almost always finishes his plate, here he asks to box up the leftovers every time! I absolutely adore their Hanoi noodles. The crab Rangoon and curry laksa are starter dishes that make you so excited for what's to come. The staff can also provide spot on recommendations for cocktails and sake. Hats off to the bartenders for knowing how to craft a libation. The final aspect of this place that I love is the speed of service. Even though they can be breathtakingly busy they always make time for you and you don't wait an agonizingly long time for the plates to arrive. We love this place!

Asian fusion place that's got a chill vibe and super tender meat. I highly recommend their pho and Vietnamese ramen. Their pork belly bun is good too! However, laksa curry didn't have much noodles just a lot of salty curry without much garnish or carbs to soak it up. Also, if you're looking for a private/cozy place to talk, this is not it. They have communal tables that would have to split it with other parties and it gets quite loud.

We had dinner here earlier this week. Waited 20+ minutes for our food to arrive. It was so slow!! Ordered spicy pho and it was not that good. Noodles were too soft. Husband had the Vietnamese ramen and did not enjoy it much, only ate half of the contents. Definitely had better Asian food elsewhere and the wait for the food to arrive was just too ridiculously long.

First time at CO and would definitely return so let's get that out of the way. The vibe is chill with the added community tables on the 2nd floor. Service was attentive, friendly and efficient. A pro tip on ordering food (unless you are in a hurry) is to take your time between starters and mains because the food comes out pretty quickly. The tuna tacos were flavorful with no shortage of tuna and a flavorful crispy shell. Papaya salad with tofu was a real winner - tangy dressing, flavorful veggies and a good amount of tofu. For our mains we had the drunken noodles (served super hot)'with a little too much sauce and not quite enough heat (for us) but tasty, and Vietnamese ramen (could have been served hotter) that was super flavorful (we added chili for heat). All in all a great first experience!

This was my second time to visit Co and they did not disappoint. I'm a big fan of ordering a bunch of the small plates/apps and then just sharing them amongst the table. We got the wings, gyoza, steamed buns, and spring rolls. My husband also ordered one of their bowls. Everything was delicious. The gyoza is probably my favorite item though. Service was great and we were the only ones upstairs so it was nice and quiet. Definitely will be back!

Cousin and I visited here based on a recommendation from an employee from Gaulart and Maliclet. Well what can I say??? After dining here three times in three days I guess you can color me happy!!!! CO is an Asian fusion restaurant that serves incredible food. The menu is extensive from the delicious pork and crab rolls to Pho to the amazing curry with chicken, etc, etc, etc. The restaurant is cozy and inviting especially on a rainy night which was on our first visit. It was pouring on King Street and we just walked three miles: we had just finished touring Rainbow Row and the Charleston Battery and had a craving for Thai food. On this visit we dined on Mango Spring Rolls, Tuna Tacos (delicious) and Crab Rangoon. Stefan our waiter was great and informed us of their Happy Hour from Monday through Thursday from 4-7pm. Most dishes start @$4 and drinks range from $4 as well. Thus, the next day, post Boone Hall Plantation tour, we tried the Happy Hour. My cousin ordered from their rotating cocktail menu: Orange Blossom which consists of triple sec vodka. We tried the crispy pork and crab rolls and tuna tacos. Tonight, our third outing at the bar, Jennifer served me a wicked pour of delicious Sauvignon Blanc. I tried the curry with chicken and it was out of this world! Who would believe that $4 buys you a hearty serving of rice and a melange of chicken and curry? I started with chopsticks and then the spoon did the rest. Charleston is so fortunate to have a great restaurant such as CO. Every meal we dined on was delicious and enjoyed the conversation with the accommodating staff. Special shout outs to Stefan, Jennifer and Nick who went above and beyond!
