When you choose Zaya 1943 Korean Steakhouse, you are choosing a locally owned and operated restaurant in Chattanooga built around premium ingredients, warm hospitality, and a dining experience that feels personal from the moment you sit down.

Zaya is not a chain restaurant, and that matters. Our team takes pride in every detail, from the quality of our meats to the way each course is paced at the table. As a modern Korean steakhouse in Chattanooga, we are known for in-house dry-aged steak, A5 Miyazaki Wagyu, marinated short rib galbi, and bold Korean flavors that make every meal feel distinct.

What makes Zaya different is the experience itself. Our servers cook premium cuts for you right at the table, guiding the meal with care so you can relax and enjoy the moment. It is interactive, polished, and rooted in the kind of hospitality that keeps guests coming back for date nights, celebrations, business dinners, and weekends in the city.



Being locally owned also means being part of the Chattanooga community. We are proud to serve this city with a restaurant that reflects quality, character, and a genuine sense of place. When you dine at Zaya, you are not just going out to eat. You are supporting a local Chattanooga restaurant that values great food, memorable experiences, and doing things the right way.
