Why Cham Garden

The KBBQ Experience

Tableside Grilling

Cook your own cuts right at the table over a built-in grill. Every meal is a live, hands-on experience you control.

Fresh Banchan

Every table gets a rotating spread of house-made Korean side dishes — kimchi, japchae, spinach, and more — included with your meal.

Premium Cuts

From thinly sliced brisket to marinated short ribs, every cut is sourced fresh and prepped in-house for maximum flavor at the grill.

Our Story

Family Owned.
Community Rooted.

Cham Garden is a family-owned Korean BBQ restaurant built around one simple idea: bringing people together over good food.

What began as a passion for Korean BBQ grew into a place where family, friends, and the local community can gather around the grill, share a meal, and enjoy bold, comforting flavors.

From our premium meats and house-made side dishes to our self-serve dining experience, everything we do is centered around quality, hospitality, and creating a place that feels welcoming.

Good food brings people together, and that has always been at the heart of Cham Garden.

City of Lakewood

"If you can only pick one Korean barbecue place, I'd recommend this one. It's approachable, yummy, and a great way to try a lot at once."

Emerald Palate

"Cham Garden offers a selection of banchan, meaning Korean appetizers and veggies like kimchi and Korean-style potato salad. I can also recommend Cham Garden's spicy glazed chicken."
