Western Addition Restaurants

A beautiful space and a delicious experience. Treat it like a tapas situation and try as many dishes as possible.

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

I was excited to check out this new place in Japantown and it did not disappoint. We had duck tacos and pork belly Benedict & they were delicious! Duck tacos were my favorite - savory and complex. The menu is mostly Asian fusion and the kimchi is house made (obvs in the name) and sooo good. Who knew kimchi & hollandaise combine to delicious effect. Cocktails were great too. Best of all was the server. So kind, friendly, and super fast. Also, we went for brunch and there was an entire baby group in there and it was not even loud. So everyone go check out the Fermentation Lab!!
