    Food is served with sm banchan side dishes that accompany the main dishes so well.  L.a. Gal Bi Meat

    Our secret local spot is so delicious. I really must share what good Korean food looks like to those who may not know. Pictured here: Bul go gi - prime beef marinated and L.A gal bi - grilled thin prime beef slices In Bento boxes. food is served with sm banchan side dishes that accompany the main dishes so well.

    Overall a perfectly average place to get Korean food. The side dishes (banchan) are good, well marinated and seasoned. I got the regular soon dubu soup, not seafood. The flavor of the soup was pretty lacking. I actually had to put more gochujang (Korean hot pepper sauce) into the soup to make it more flavorful and spicy. Pretty disappointing, but I guess that's what I get for ordering soup at a bbq place. Service was slow, but that might be attributed to our large party of 8. We were seated at a long table with barriers that allowed us to have a sense of privacy, which is really nice. Made me feel like we were the only ones at the restaurant. They also gave us 2 pitchers of water to refill ourselves so that we wouldn't have to wait on them to refill every time we wanted it, which was nice and thoughtful of them to do. I think the karaoke offering is a cool concept that I haven't seen in the Augusta area before. Pleasantly surprised to see it, but we didn't try it. Maybe I'll come back just for that. But otherwise, I wouldn't visit here again since the food wasn't particularly noteworthy to me.

    It's been awhile since eating here. Food still flavorful and delicious. Nice decor and mellow atmosphere. Friendly but service was a little slow but worth the wait.

    The staff at Emashiya were so sweet sitting us 20 minutes before closing and continuing to bring extra banchan even as they were closing. After our favorite Korean place stopped seating early we decided to give Emashiya a try The food hit the spot, I had kimchi jjigae and my husband got the soondubu, we shared a salad and has seconds on all the banchan. The jjigaes were huge! The portions are extremely generous. The food reminded me of what you'd get late night in a family restaurant in Korea, nothing fancy but very satisfying. I ordered the kimchi jjigae with no pork and was hoping for extra tofu but the tofu was a little on the skimpy side, but the kimchi was abundant and flavorful which is what matters most. The broth had a faint tomato hot pot flavor - which I've noticed at multiple area Korean restaurants. Banchan was good and a balanced mix of dishes too. The cucumber and the bean sprouts were my favorite, my kids devoured the potato strips. Service was great and I loved was that they brought us barley tea in an IHOP style carafe We went home happy and full. I took part of my kimchi jjigae home (because it was way to big to finish on one sitting) and the day 2 flavor after reheating was even better than the first time around. Once the flavors had a chance to meld it was among the best kimchi jjigaes I've had in my life.

    Best Korean we have had in the Augusta area! Maybe in several years. Coming from Hawaii (tons of Korean food) to Maryland, I was worried we wouldn't be able to find too many Korean BBQ spots out here.

    I'd give this place a 3.75/5. They are still doing take-out/delivery right now. I ordered three appetizers and a main entree and waited 20 minutes for it to be ready when I got there. I was shocked on how they packaged everything. They even packed the banchans in a nicely divided up container. The seafood pancake was huge! I split it up into 3-4 meals. The banchans were solid overall. The kimchi was very sour but I've never been quite sold on kimchi by itself. I'd definitely get the kimbap again. I'd hold off on the bibimbap. I've had elsewhere better in Augusta (Golden Garden). I was hoping the dukbokki was a little spicier. I'd say they have a bigger selection than Golden Garden, but in terms of quality, I'd probably choose Golden Garden.

    Its so good! And high quality! It was a rainy day and restaurant was empty today and so was parking lot. Authentic food! Definitely coming back here again for korean food especially after my coworker said another korean spot in the area wasnt as good. i choose the right ine

    Great flavor , good service. Very delicious & we look forward to many more nights visiting this place

    Well, I really wanted Korean food and this place is pretty close by so I decided to stop in and grab food to go. I usually order bulgogi and man du. So that's what I ordered. Holy cow... $32 for myself for an order to go? That's a bit crazy. They did pack a nice box full of all the sides... but the amount of meat for $32 is tiny. I can say that the order was quick once I put it in. I will be trying some other places before I return here. I just think the prices are way too high for what you get.

    waiting time was little bit too long for me but everything else was great. We enjoyed it

    The food is an overall solid choice with good entrees and side dishes that are usually a part of korean dining. The wings were puny but flavors were there. The sign at the restaurant says "Korean BBQ" so look for that instead if Emashiya. The interior is a bit dated for those who care. The weakest part has been the food wait times unfortunately. The servers have been fine so hopefully the kitchen can step it up a little as 40 minutes for 3 dishes is rough. Would come back but I'd try other Korean restaurants before coming back.

    This little random little spot was actually pretty delicious. The name listed here, matches what's on the building but not on the sign you see from the road. That was a little odd, but I knew we were looking for a Korean bbq spot so the sign said that much. Instead it's a little plain but don't let that fool you. We ordered To go and in just about 15 minutes it was ready. We ordered beef bimbop with sauce and one with out. With sauce was a little juicer but the one without was delicious as well. It came with a lot of sides, which have been typical for me going to other Korean bbq. I won't lie, I wasn't a fan of any of them, and I usually like at least 3-4 of them. You get about 7 per meal. I would definitely check this spot out. Gotta support diversity in food in Augusta!

The bean sprouts were a bit salty. Chili cucumber was well seasoned and refreshing, and the sliced fish cake was the highlight with a slight sweet and sesame oil flavor. Each dish supposedly comes with a banchan, but if you eat with another person, then you get 1 set of banchan only with 1 refill and additional refills cost $2.50 which was different from most cities I have been to with a more established asian food scene (Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, etc). jjajangmyeon 4/5: The jjajangmyeon had decent portions. The noodles were really nice and chewy, and the sauce on top had a slight sweetness to it that made it different from the chinese jiajiang mian I normally eat. There were plenty of zucchini and onion pieces, and the pork was tender and just a bit fatty which I enjoyed. Highlight of the meal. Kimchi Jjigae 3/5: The kimchi jjigae comes with kimchi, tofu, and pork pieces in a stew and a side of rice. The stew itself comes out piping hot but is almost 90% kimchi and minimal tofu and pork. Very few pieces of tofu and pork, unlike the jjajangmyeon which had more generous amounts of pork. The rice bowl it comes with is quite small. We ran out well before the kimchi stew was completed, and they charge $2 for rice refills. Overall, the food was decent and service is solid. Pricing was slightly steep with a bowl of jjajangmyeon (noodles with stir fry pork sauce overlying) running at $19 and a bowl of mostly kimchi and a few pieces of tofu/pork pieces costing $17. Their banchan/rice refill policy is questionable, but the food scratches the itch in a city with a smaller Korean population and minimal competition.

The food still felt authentic and full of true Hawaiian flavor. Coming from a family with roots in the Big Island and Maui, I can appreciate when a place captures that genuine island-style taste and atmosphere. One thing that really stood out was how they start you off with fresh in-house made pork rinds, similar to how Mexican restaurants serve chips and salsa when you sit down. It was a unique and welcoming touch. We ordered the spicy poke, Spam musubis, and a mixed BBQ plate with two scoops of mac salad. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying.

It makes perfect sense that an authentic Korean eatery would thrive near a military base, and this one did not disappoint. Tucked away and unassuming, this tiny hole-in-the-wall has actually been around since 1999 -- a true mom-and-pop operation that feels like a well-kept local secret. Truly more of a takeout scenario... The food? Fresh, flavorful, and unmistakably authentic. All dishes cooked when ordered, so expect to wait... The Korean guy at register was very nice and helpful letting me use their bowls to eat in house... Just a heads-up: seating is extremely limited (think 8 people, max). And while the AC situation consists of a giant air blower with the doors flung open on a 90-degree day, it somehow adds to the charm. Pro tip: order takeout, or bring your own gochujang and dipping sauces -- otherwise, you'll have to purchase full-size bottles to use at the table (which you can take home).
