About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    Nothing spectacular. Service felt rushed, things came out way too fast that our table couldn’t fit everything. A bit pricey for the quality. The food, service, and ambiance were acceptable but didn’t fit the price tag.

    This is an attractive, nice casual Korean restaurant. It is not a Korean BBQ style but combines the style of a tapas service with the flavors of Korean cuisine. While the menu is short it had a good range of ingredients and flavors. The only reason that I did not rate this higher is due to having a shorter, a bit more limited range of choices. Still the different dishes we had were all delicious and with a Korean taste. We had the steak tartare, the fish cerviche, the fried chicken, asparagus and potatoes All were delicious. The fried chicken was nice and crispy and flavorful bites of chicken but it was not the larger typical cuts. And a great Pinot noir by the glass. If you want great flavors in an attractive, fun restaurant, this is a great place. I’ll look forward to going back. If you want a ‘traditional’ Korean style, this is not it. But it is a very worthwhile choice and you will be happy.
