This place is awesome! While the food is great, the owner and employees make the experience top notch. The portions are great for the price and they have an awesome beer selection. They have good vegetarian options for that picky vegetarian girlfriend you may have (as I do). Just note that the broth in the noodle bowl has vegetable AND chicken stock, so is not completely vegetarian. They also have one of those cool fountain drink machines that has every combination of soda pop known to man. Cant wait for the summer when we can use that awesome patio they have!! 5 stars for sure.

This is an awesome new restaurant and a creative way to serve Korean food. You pick your style of bowl (rice, noodles or salad) or kim chee burrito. Then you pick your protein, toppings, add-ons and sauces. Ordering is done in the same style as a Subway or Chipotle. There are some "snacks" such as Korean tacos and dumplings. They have a coke freestyle machine and some bottled juices and water. The pricing is very reasonable and the service is fast. There are vegetarian options, great seating amd a nice patio. Definitely check this out.

we have eaten here several times, obviously the food was fresh, prepared in front of you it appears to be reasonably authentic Korean food, it has been called the chipotle of Korean food... The staff is always very friendly.. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get... quite often they have drink wine and beer specials.... its really a good place to eat...., they have their own parking lot off of Cary Street which is absolutely a benefit and they also have outside seating..

This place is the friggin best: fresh, healthy, delicious, and inexpensive. The staff are always nice and super quick. They also serve bubble tea now! I work next door and our whole staff loves to eat there; we like to refer to it as the "Korean Chipotle" (but tastier). Tonight, all 5 of we employees ate Zzaams! I got mine first and everyone soon followed suite because it smells so good. This business is also locally owned! Bottom line: eat here.

Huge portions of carbs, vegetables, and protein for $6-9 dollars per person, so the value is very good. If youre looking for authentic Korean, keep going; this is for Americans. The food is tasty but not outstanding. Service is fast, friendly, and efficient. Dining room is very spacious and clean, with good views outside. There is a pet friendly outdoor dining area as well.

This place is amazing and i hope they stay in Richmond. You can tell the food is good quality. I admit im fairly un-cultured and was dumbfounded on what toppings to choose. The boy was very helpful in making topping siggestions that complemented my choices. The result was a very happy customer and i will be bringing my friends here! Best luck to you!

Generally, I love this place. Unfortunately, though, I stopped by around 9pm on Sunday after seeing their hours open until 10pm. Not only were they closed, and employee rudely shook his head and waved his hands to stop us from getting near the door. Really unfortunate that a previously favorite spot provided such a bad experience.

Casual dining. Chipotle style ordering. Less than $10 per person. You get to pick all sorts of great toppings and there are so many fresh veggie options. Really hope this place is successful because its awesome for a cheap, healthy & quick meal. They have bubble tea, wine, beer, a patio, and their own small parking lot.

Zzaam was an awesome experience. The ingredients were so fresh, the selections of meat and vegetarian options were varied and tasty, and the staff was so nice that we all commented about it when we sat down to eat. If you need a departure from Chipotle or other affordable lunch/dinner fare, hit up Zzaam!

Nice and quaint! This place is something like a Korean Chipotle. I LOVED THE CHICKEN RAMEN (hold the egg)! The crab pancakes were interesting. I couldnt get past the texture to eat it alone. With the rice it was good. And the sauce they give you was amazing. First time for everything. Ill be back.

Kind of a chipotle style "Korean" place. Food is good and much cheaper than similar quality and amount of food at other places In the same area. Food is great and the staff were very happy looking and polite. Overall a great experience. Has vegetarian and gluten free options- and theyre labelled.

Great little inexpensive place that lets you customize your noodle or rice bowls with all the toppings that you want. Multiple protein choices, a variety of toppings and sauces to customize your own Bowl. Easily one of our new favorite restaurants in Richmond especially for the price.

Genuinely impressed. Fresh, delicious ingredients. I had a rice bowl with spicy pork and it was nothing short of amazing. The bartender even knocked a dollar off my beer even though happy hour was over. Oh, and this place is ridiculously cheap. Ill certainly be returning soon.

As Zzaam newbies, our ever so friendly server helped us through the process; so dont be timid. Flavors blend well. We got two bowls; one rice, one noodle. Both were delicious. It was a fresh and healthy surprise. Dont forget the sweet tea. It was also awesome.

Think Chipotle but with Korean food, not authentic but tasty. If youre looking to introduce someone to Korean food but theyre a little timid, this is a great place to start. Good portions for the price, the small noodle bowl was more than enough for me.

My new favorite place in Richmond. Kind of like Chipotle style with the assembly line. Food is delicious, and they are super nice. Great beer selection too! And the patio is a nice option. They have ample parking as well, which is key in Carytown.

Cheap eat if you do it right. The flavor isnt going to be authentic Korean, but thats hard to find in Richmond anyway. The street ramen is good and the bowls are the staple item here. A great place to get a meal with a variety of veggies for cheap.

One of my new favorite places to eat. Everyone I have taken here loves it also. Its always clean, staff is super friendly and helpful for first-timers. The food is delicious, fresh, fast, healthy, and did I mention cheap? Seriously $5. Love it!

the food was amazing! genuine Korean food is hard to come by and this hits the spot. I would definitely recommend the noodle bowl with spicy pork. theres also a very cool atmosphere to the place itself-- modern/rustic/urban

The food was tasty but, after eating here, I realize Im not all that big on Korean fusion cuisine. So the rating is based more on that than the restaurant itself or their food and Im sure others may enjoy it better than me.

Excellent menu selection and fresh ingredients! Also great variety/options for all dietary types from vegans, GF and meat eaters. Also draft selection is decent and $1 off draft from 12-6 daily. Cant wait to go back!

Amazing korean rice bowls (bibimbap). Think chipotle style build your own bowl type food. I love combining their zzam sauce and z-kick sauce. Also other kinds of korean food their but their rice bowls are my choice.

Fast, fun, tasty Korean food! Known for their kimchee burritos, but the rest of their food is really good too! They have indoor and outdoor seating, and its a nice casual atmosphere for a quick bite with friends.
