Many friends mentioned this Korean restaurant to me. Finally got to go last week. Service is okay however it can be tricky to get hold of the staff when you are sitting upstair and at the corner. Love the food. Love how it got two prices for (1) just the dish / stewed pot and (2) a full price with the rice and side dishes (got given four little side dishes and you can have two of the them refilled once). A lovely place to go in the city.

Amazing food, and very accommodating kitchen. Service was a little slow, and we had to be a bit pushy to get served at each stage. The waitresses were very eager to help. In summary, we enjoyed it and will be back.

I got the jaeyuk Kimchi as a main (right). Bannsang has the best sweet potato side dish

This is an oldie but goodie.

It's been our go to Korean place in town for as long as I can remember, and that is real testament to it's quality in both service, food delivery and quality.

Favourite dish for me here has to be number 8 on the menu, spicy pork belly and squid combination, it's always cooked to perfection and sauced just the right amount. Such a perfect dish to scoff down with some rice.

Also recommend their fish roe soup, it is super delicious, and without sounding like a fan boy, everything I've had here has been good, I got no complaints about the food here.

If you are planning to visit, it does get super busy during lunch and dinner rush hour, be prepared to wait for a table, but they move things pretty quick here, so you shouldn't be waiting for too long. Same goes for the food, it comes out super quick.

Ambience here is lively, it's a small place so everything is compact and you are sitting really close to the next group, but still enough personal space so you don't feel like you're going to accidentally spill into someone else's food.

Only thing keeping me from giving this a 5 star rating is that they no longer provide kimchi as one of the free side dishes, you have to pay for it. We do everytime because it's damn good, but it's kimchi, literally the staple of korean dining and given for free all over korea, why do they have to charge for it here? Who know,s business decision I guess, but I'd still buy it, just wish I didn't have to.

Great Korean restaurant with a range of Korean dishes, my favorite being the fish row soup. It use to be quite busy there so you might have to wait for a place, but lucky now they have more space so less waiting.
