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.

    This was such a wonderful experience, from greeting to farewell! The ambiance is casual yet sophisticated. The cocktails were great and they have an extensive wine list. The food was delectable, unusual yet usual pairings kept us intrigued and excited for each new dish. Overall, would highly recommend!

    My family of six had the best experience here today! The service was friendly and helpful and the food was incredible! Antonio provided a fabulous show for us and cracked us up. This was our first time at a Benihana and we all loved it. Worth the price for the food and show!

    The clam linguine was delicious. I drank the leftover broth. The bar seat is right front of the raw seafood guy. It was an experience watching him shuck oysters and assemble the raw seafood entrees. Service was attentive without being invasive. And they helpfully recharged my phone as it was at 1% having flown from New Zealand. A great way to spend part of a 10 hour layover.

    This was the best meal I have had in a while! Inventive dishes with great flavor, yet very accessible and well priced for the quality. It was fun to have smaller tapas plates to share and be able to try more delicious dishes!
