Celebrate Your Big Moments at Zaya Korean Steakhouse

February 9, 2026

why zaya works for special occasions

You get a live grill and tableside cooking without lifting a finger. We pace each course so the night feels smooth and celebratory. Choose premium cuts like dry-aged ribeye and NY strip, add a small A5 Miyazaki Wagyu tasting, and reset between bites with bright banchan and rice.


Easy ways to plan your night

  • Choose your Feast: The table selects four cuts, served with banchan and rice, and our servers cook everything at the grill right at your table.
  • Add a signature moment: A5 by the ounce, prawns for surf and turf, or a favorite dry-aged cut for a second round.
  • Tell us your pace: Slow and romantic or lively and festive. We time the grill to match.
