I'm probably going to seem like a miser in this review, but here goes. The food was good. The dumplings were the best thing we got by far. Absolutely perfect. I got the Bibimbop- medium spicy. It tasted fresh but was a tad bland. My companion got the beef bulgogi. It was very tasty, but so expensive- $25. Our bill for the app, 2 lunches, and 2 fountain drinks was $80. You order at a kiosk. They call your number and you go collect your own tray of food. Then you clean up after yourself and stack your dishes on a cart- and they have the nerve to ask you for a TIP when you're paying. FOR WHAT? If this meal had cost us $40, I would give a much higher rating. I know times are tough for businesses and everything is expensive- but $80 for that lunch experience was madness. read more

We were looking for a new Korean restaurant in the area and came across Chaum. Chaum is a not frills, self service restaurant. Upon entering, you place your order on the kiosk machine and seat yourselves in one of the tables lining the wall and windows. Fountain drinks and tableware are on the side. Upon ordering, you get a ticket and wait for your number to be called. There is a tray rack that you when you are done. We ordered a number of things to try. Started with the seafood pancake. It was made of mainly green onions and not a lot of batter which is how it should be. The top and bottom was crispy. There were pieces of squid on top. It was delicious only wish they had more seafood. Sauce was great. Probably one of the best seafood pancake I've had. I'd come back just for the seafood pancake. :-) We ordered the LA galbi (short ribs). It was well marinated and tasted great! Good size portion for the price. Came with a side of lettuce with dressing. The pork bulgogi was decent portions and sweet. Meat was tender. The seafood stew has a kick. It was a bit diluted from what I'm used to with pieces of squid and couple of clams. Each of the fish came with a couple of panchans (side dishes) of fish cake, kimchi and cucumbers. Overall, great place to visit for good and fast Korean food. read more

Dumplings were freshly made and cooked. You can really tell by the texture and taste. Absolutely not frozen dumplings reheated! Of course, this is what I'd expect from a real kitchen, but sometimes, you never know how some businesses will operate. I love that this is family owned and operated! The seafood soft tofu stew was tasty! read more

3/5 This is my second time visiting Chaum -- once during their soft opening and once after their official opening. I absolutely love Korean food, so I was really excited to try this place again. Overall, I'm giving it three stars because with a few adjustments, I think this could become a great spot to visit. What I liked: * I really like the self-service concept and the tablets for ordering. * On my second visit, they were quite busy, but the food still came out quickly, which I appreciated. * Pricing is fair for a Korean restaurant. * The décor and atmosphere are very relaxing, making it a nice place to spend time. What could improve: * There are only two soup options on the menu (one of them is ramen), and the soup I tried tasted very plain -- more like a basic chicken broth with vegetables, lacking depth or flavor. Adding more traditional options, such as kimchi jjigae, would be a great improvement. * The kimchi, whether as a side dish or in the pancake, tasted very mild. It didn't have the tangy, sour flavor I usually enjoy from kimchi. * The fried chicken was overly sweet, with too much batter and not enough meat. My ratings so far: * Soup: 3/10 (too plain) * Kimchi Pancake: 6/10 * Bibimbap: 6/10 I haven't had the chance to try everything yet, so this is just my personal experience. I truly hope the restaurant team can take this feedback into account because I see a lot of potential here. Despite my mixed review, I still encourage others to give this place a try -- you might enjoy it more than I did! read more

My friend asked me if I had heard this new place which I had not but saw they're having their soft opening so I knew I had to go check it out. It's tucked away in a plaza off Davis rd....nice large parking lot so that's always a good start for me. While they have a fancy ordering machine i didn't get to use it since someone came to take my order. I got my food as takeout but would love to go back for a dine in experience. Nothing fancy decorations and set up but very clean ans plenty of tables. I got seafood pancake which was nice and crispy and had a lot of seafood pieces. I also got the seafood tofu stew. Good amount of spiciness. I love that it came with rice. Not sure why I was surprised at getting banchan but one of my favorite part of my food..can't wait to go try the other items including their lunch plate read more

The highlight for me is the Korean Chicken Gangjeong (original flavor). It's a sweet spicy korean fried chicken bite with the best crunch and fried rice cakes. I also tried the bulgogi and ttaekbokki and both were also very good. The food comes out hot and very quickly in the two times I have visited. The Chaum is a casual dining experience. You are able to order at a kiosk or with a person. When your order is ready they call out your order number and you return your own dishes when you're done. The staff is very friendly and efficient. read more

The Chaum - Beef Bulgogi with rice, glass noodles, miso soup, fish cake and zucchini kimchi! - Korean Near Me - Martinez, Georgia

LOVE THIS PLACE. Experience/Ambience/Service: You order by yourself and the food is served relatively quickly. Being from LA, I can confidently say that this The Chaum is a SOLID KOREAN RESTAURANT that reminds me of many restaurants from home. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and cozy. So thankful this place exists so I can get my Korean comfort food fix. The server was extremely polite. Food: We ordered the kimchi pancake, LA Galbi plate (lunch), and tteokbokki (spicy rice cake). It was plenty of food for my husband and I. One note is that the pancake was a bit too oily for our taste but we just blotted it with our napkins. This is a common problem though for kimchi/seafood pancakes too at other places I've been so I don't fault them too much for it! It was nice and crispy with great flavor otherwise. Definitely support this business- it deserves the hype! read more

The Chaum - LA Galbi, Kimchi Pancake, Tteokbokki - Korean Near Me - Martinez, Georgia

Good food but a bit pricey. I had the original gangjeong chicken in both sizes. The large is definitely good but the small seems a bit less considering they make half the dish fried rice cake read more

Although a bit pricey, their menu has some different offerings compared to other korean restaurants in thr area. Love the seafood pancake!

Best Korean restaurant in Augusta hands down. I've tried korean restaurants in Korea and NYC and this place is up there. Their food is super flavorful. My favorites so far are the spicy pork and the la galbi. Let me tell you the marinades for the meats are amazing. With every dish you get banchan; kimchi, fish cake, salad, and spicy cucumber. You also get rice. I thought the banchan was alright and sorta lack flavor in comparison. However, the main dish is the star of the show. I'd come here everyday if I could. I'm really happy they opened! read more

Amazing food. Great service and reminds me of being in Korea. I was too hubgry to take a pic but trust me it was good.

Everyone liked their meals! Its far out of our normal commute but would definitely come back. I ordered galbi and it was meaty and not all fat so I'm happy with that. read more

We were a little confused initially at the process of ordering. We saw the digital screen and that we were to order there but we had questions. Eventually, someone came out to answer our questions. Our experience was all good from there. The food was delicious!!! So glad we came and we will be back. I would just suggest that someone comes out more frequently to check on confused first time customers. read more

We brought our whole family here to experience what everyone has been talking about and we can say-- They were right! Everything we got was incredible, and we're still talking about how perfectly crispy and gooey the fried chicken was... we got both flavors and they were both insanely good. The fried seaweed rolls and rose tetbokki were also super good! My kids loved the raymeon too! read more

The bulgogi isn't authentic. It was very watery. Not crispy like I had living in Korea Sides were good. It's not cheap either

A locally owned and operated restaurant serving up great authentic Korean food! We especially enjoyed the japchae and seafood soft tofu stew. Highly recommend this place, come check it out! read more

We tried the Galbi, seafood pancake, and soft tofu seafood stew. We will be back again. It's a little expensive, but the quality of ingredients is there so it's worth it. Customer service was nice. The guy at the counter was very sweet. Good Korean food takes time. So be patient if you go there during rushes. read more

I was completely not impressed with our dinner. The texture of the chicken is something I cannot get over. The food was extremely hot and fresh when it came out, but it just did not taste right to me. The cucumber kimchi was sour not like a normally have had it. May just be my taste buds. I don't know, but I was definitely not happy with my order and the amount that I paid. We boxed up and took the food home just to throw it away $50 down the drain. Very clean place very friendly staff. Another thing, My husband's food came out about 20 to 30 minutes after mine. We won't be back. I do wish them well. read more

Amazing food, so glad this place just opened up. My wife and I have been craving real, solid Korean comfort food and this place hits all those cravings. Great and fast service, and the place is really clean! Highly recommend! read more

Excellent Korean restaurant- a little different vibe from what we are accustomed to. Self-serve drinks, option to order from kiosk, pick up order and return dirty dishes - but we loved it. Food was authentic and more than enough. We will be back. read more

The food is amazing. I've been there at least 3 time. On the first visit I got japche (glass noodle) and yaki mandu (dumplings). Yesterday I got bibimbop (rice w/veggies and meat) and today I got seafood soft tofu soup. Every was made fresh and sooo good. Make a stop and try it yourself. read more
