content: I'm surprised Charcoal does not have many reviews. I've heard of this place since my days in university 4-5 years ago.\n\nI arrived here with colleagues after a rather long day in the office. I was given a recommendation to try the pig tail - and got very intrigued at the idea.\n\nMy order consisted of:\n- An order of Braised Pigtails: Braised and grilled with Charcoal barbecue sauce or sweet brown sugar sauce, apple marmalade.\n- A 12oz portion of the Slow Roasted Prime Rib with a side of garlic mashed potatoes\n\nI was honestly surprised when the pigtails came out. I had some naive childhood imagination that a pigtail would be small, round and curly. Instead what came out resembled more of a 'rib' in appearance/size but upon closer inspection, you realize that it is a series of connected bones.\n\nThe flavour was delicious - I really enjoyed the barbecue sauce on them. In terms of texture, I would say it had a lot of cartilage - and that the meat came off the bone rather easily. I would compare it to the texture of chicken feet found in Chinese cuisine.\n\nRemember - use your hands when eating these. Forego the knife and fork. I managed to splatter sauce on my dress shirt and suit - trying to play it safe/clean.\n\n\nThe 12oz prime rib was very nice and tender. I ordered the dish medium-rare, and it definitely came out exactly as so. The horseradish was intense and packed quite a bit of flavour to it. I really like prime rib and would come back again for it.\n\n\nAll in all, we all had a very enjoyable meal. I wouldn't hesitate coming back again and trying some of their other steaks, or their ribs. \n\n\nCheck it out!
