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.

    Did not meet my expectations for the reputation. Although the food was good it wasn’t outstanding. Little pricey. The service was outstanding and staff were friendly.

    We really enjoyed our dinner at Bansang! We were here as a party of 6 celebrating a friend’s birthday. With a group our size we were able to try a lot of items from the menu, since everything was meant to be shared as tapas. Highlights were the uni scallop toast, mulwhee noodles, jellyfish salad, sunchoke and truffle, rice cakes and chorizo, and the cod. Our favorite dessert item was the banana ice cream. The dishes were all full of flavor. Service was excellent and the ambiance was warm and relaxed. This is a great spot for both date nights and group dinners!

    Our chef was Francisco; he was top notch, five stars all the way. He was non-stop with the Benihana thrills from start to finish. It was everything we had hoped for and more. He took such care to prepare our vegetarian meals on the grill first so that they would not have contact with meat items. The coordination between him and his assistant to get everyone their items quickly was also flawless. Well done!!!!

    A truly unique experience, it fully deserves the high ratings. The only downside I did not feel I’m eating at an elegant and high end place even though it’s priced as on. I highly recommend my friends to try this
