New Korean place on 56th - Chom Chom - any info?

hightemp

Was walking back to work today on 56th and noticed a new Korean Place called Chom Chom or something like that. I think ts in that space that used to be zona rosa. (56 between 5 and 6)

Anyone else notice this? Been yet? Thoughts/comments/general info?

  1. To say this is the only Korean place to try a "fusion" upscale twist on Korean food would be completely ignoring another resturant in midtown named Bann (bannrestaurant.com).

    Bann is located at 50th street between 8th and 9th avenue. Their prices also tend to be higher than the midtown lunch crowd prefers and higher than 32nd street fair, but the food is quite good and service is excellent.

    Another place to consider for Korean food that is great for take out is B-Bap Fusion Rice Bar on 9th avenue (www.b-bap.com).

    I highly recommend b-bap, however, they again are on the pricer side and don't even offer free kimchee on the side.

  2. @rinda: were they trying to say "Cham" or "Jjom" like... jjom joo sae yo... abbreviate ver. of joh geum...

    Still no idea what Chom is..hehe.

  4. That's why I said "when read to rhyme with 'Tom'" (unless you're a Brit :)). "Cham" could be (mistakenly) read to rhyme with Pam.
