   The food was ok. There was nothing particularly great about it. We got the fried chicken, charred broccoli, kimchi fried rice, and the Galbi Marinated Steak. Everything was okay besides the steak which we didn’t like due to the extreme chewiness. For the price I will not be back.

   The food was really good. And they gave me a special birthday dessert that made the evening more special. Will have to come back again.

   There are some very good dishes and others that are just average. I believe more work is needed in the design of the main courses, as unlike the tapas, they are very traditional and not very bold. The pastries are overly sweet and lack balance.

   Unbelievably unique and delicious food, great atmosphere and the service was impeccable. Pretty much hits on all cylinders and some of the most interesting dishes I've ever had.

   The cod was fishy and all other dishes are tiny but pricey. Not a recommended place for Korean food

   We booked this for our casual anniversary dinner and were disappointed. Dishes were flavorful but gave the nostalgia of a much more casually priced dining experience. The price point for the dishes were high so we were expecting some high end ingredients or innovation but sadly we were left disappointed with our nearly $200 meal for 2, especially our $58 steak that we ordered medium rare and came out like warm and mid well. We decided to skip dessert because of the experience.

   Great tapas style of food. Yummy for sharing and sample lots of items. Oysters and uni toast were a hit. Highly recommend!!!

   A decent second visit, preferred the first. Was recommended the cold mussel salad from the waiter, and it was okay, honestly would have rather something else. The uni toast was delicious one of their popular appetizers, a pricey two-three biter. The sunchoke truffle was my all time favorite from my first visit and it did not disappoint on this is visit. Bursting with major flavor and texture. I’d lick the bowl for that creamy sauce. Beef tartare was a good portion with a great pairing of seaweed that made it feel like way more. The Jang pasta was extra salty, had me wishing we ordered the Kim chi fried rice. The ribeye with lettuce wrap was a big finisher. Satisfying morsels of beef wrapped in fresh greens.

    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.
