Best Cosy Restaurants in Western Addition

Super happy with the service! Came to celebrate my birthday and was able be sat early and enjoy the energy of the restaurant! I love the juicy cuts of meat and my party was able to finish their meat and get an extra slice after!

Great food and ambience. Our main server was ok while others were fantastic. They actually stopped by to ask if we needed anything more than the main server. The dungeness crab pasta was the highlight of the meal

I wanted to bring my cousin here to try the food, and I was very lucky to land a reservation when I was notified of an opening two days before the date that I requested. Also, the staff was very accommodating and allowed me to add one more person to my party just two hours before my reservation…👌🏻! The food was great!😋!

We got lucky getting the best table in the restaurant, across from the bar in a nook under the stairs, so we easily heard each other! We chose a plant forward menu and our waiter Kai (sp?) decided on the order of the dishes. I’d trust his judgment again because we had a great time. The pigs head hid a shaved fennel and pear salad underneath. I delightfully learned how different parts of fennel tastes when shaved so finely. The Hokkaido scallops were soooo good and fresh and compared to a sushi restaurant, a very good value. My partner normally doesn’t like shellfish but he loved the scallops. We ended the savory portion of the meal with the seaweed noodles and the grilled cabbage with dill pickle butter and roe. Both plates had amazing, complimentary sauces and Kai brought us some bread to savor the last drops. The One Punch Man cocktail complemented entire the meal so well with its fruity yet creamy flavor. We got the chocolate semifreddo for dessert for the texture. It had a toasted umeboshi meringue that tasted like dates if they were slightly pickled. I left food drunk and with very happy tastebuds. I loved the restraint in all the flavors. I think a lot of dishes could’ve easily gone sideways in less capable hands, or even the meal because this menu had a lot of citrus and pickled items, and instead they nailed it just right.

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.
