At Bansang, we wish to serve all of our guests with the same care and sincerity as the chefs did for their royalty in those times past.Korean fare is built around enjoying various distinctive types of dishes simultaneously rather than in separate courses, as this allows every person to experience continuously changing flavor combinations unique to Korean culture.

    We ordered the grilled cheese, tomato soup, sweet potato with aioli, and black and blue salad. All were delicious. Service was great. We sat beside the roaring fire on the patio. It was lovely!

    This was seriously one of the best meals I have ever had. We started with delicious cocktails and the calamari, which was outstanding, especially with the sauce. Hubby had the sea bass, which was delicious; a whole fish that he enjoyed taking apart and eating, as it reminded him of his childhood, growing up on the coast in South America (only have it if you don't mind the fish looking back at you as you eat it.) I had the pomegranate meatball soulvaki and I feel my life shifted a little after that meal. Wow! We finished with Greek coffee (delicious and potent) and baklava on a bed of yogurt and honey. My gosh What these chefs do with sauces is life altering! Just be sure to make a reservation as we saw so many sad groups of people walk in happy and then have to leave because they were fully booked for the night.
