    Fantastic place to dine. The food was very comforting, the ambiance and layout of the restaurant was very clean, and the service was great. I will recommend Sungho to anyone who wants to experience high quality Korean food at a reasonable price, whether it’s a group dinner or sitting at the bar. The portions were big enough to share.

    Lovely meal with very interesting and tasty food. Some really different combinations that worked very well. Staff was very attentive. Important to note that really the only thing available is the tasting menu (just a few items as additions, but not an a la carte option).

    Great high-end k bbq/ steakhouse SF needed. Quality of meat is uncompromising. Creative, and well-accompanying kitchen dishes should not be overlooked. The Chef is very handsome as well.

    We ordered the kimchi fried rice, but it wasn’t spicy at all, which was a bit disappointing. That said, we still enjoyed it more than the French toast. The lychee soju cocktail was a standout—refreshing and well-balanced. Overall, a decent spot for brunch, though we’d love to see more spice in the dishes.

    Second time at Bansang and the experience was great. The food was excellent, wonderful service, and good vibes. The small dishes were the highlight and next time I’ll order more of those. The pasta was a surprise hit of the big dishes. I will definitely be back.
