About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Korean Tapas Restaurant. Inspired by traditional Korean cuisine...not traditional Korean cuisine.

The Korean word ‘Bansang’ refers to the style of table setting for the kings and nobles of the Joseon, a Korean dynastic kingdom that prospered for more than five centuries. 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. Our guests can expect a modern, creative perspective on this traditional style of Korean cuisine.

    Their kimchi fried rice is legit! The paella-like crunchiness was exactly what I've been craving.

    The food was absolutely fantastic. Every dish had flavors that really stood out. I really enjoyed the noodles. The fried chicken was amazing, so crunchy and so juicy. The steak tartar was really well done and tasted like no other steak tartar I’ve had before with those Korean flavors.

    Delicious! The best dishes were the uni & scallop toast and the kimchi fried rice. The roasted banana ice cream and candied pistachios was spectacular. Staff was very friendly.

    Had an average experience - felt like the restaurant was trying too hard to be a high end restaurant but fell short. Ambience and interior was lacking and food was good but not worth the price. The best dish was the Uni scallop toast.
