Banchan Korean Restaurant

4 Azania Mosaka - a month ago

What a novel experience! As a family that enjoys Korean content, we had to try out some of the dishes that we’ve come to see in the these shows. The owner said Banchan means side dishes.

Make sure you book ahead of time because it gets full.

The portions are sizable so order to share. The Korean fried chicken comes as 16 pieces a portion. I hope they modify the menu so that patrons can have the option of fewer portions. I particularly enjoyed the noodle dish with the egg.

You have the option of booking a grill table if you want to grill your own meat. We had fun doing it and creating our own combination wraps. Don’t ask me to remember the names. It’ll take more visits to the restaurant for the names to stick. Not all the food was to my liking and some I would go back for, but an exploration of different cuisine is always fun.

What an amazing place.
Such kind and sweet staff!
Manager/owner I'm assuming was so kind hearted and helpful with one of our gluten-free mates she personally came and assisted in menu choice!
That barbecue at your very own table experience is worth your time people!!!
Food flavors and portions are so good I couldn't stop snacking and eating, because of the additional side that come with our meals.
Staff are funny, able to take and make a joke what a good team!
Clean, modern, tasty food and worth its money.
We will be back!

Birthday celebration- Dinner for 7.

We had a wonderful evening at Banchan. I love that this is a cosy restaurant with not many tables.
Our waiter Trevor was amazing friendly and efficient which made our dinner even more special.

Menu is wide with many options. Our food was flavorful and taste. At the end of the evening my daughter was given a complimentary birthday dessert with bells and whistles and a happy birthday song by the staff.

I utterly enjoyed myself. The ambiance, the food and the drinks! All of it was beautiful. I love how small it is, it's makes the experience more intimate. We will definitely be revisiting this establishment. Soon!

I've been to quite a few korean restaurants in Joburg and Banchan is arguably the best and most authentic korean restaurant in town. From the service all the way to the menu, it's all exceptional. There's also good security for vehicles. I would suggest making a booking beforehand as the place gets packed quite often. The menu was surprisingly affordable and I'm definitely going back. It's the type of cuisine you will enjoy with a group of friends and family as most of the meals are meant for sharing. I highly recommend.

For her birthday, my girlfriend wanted to try authentic Korean food. I asked around on Twitter and Facebook for people's recommendations and experiences and 100% of the feedback I got pointed to Banchan, making this an easy choice!

Not only was the food amazing, but the vibe, the atmosphere was exciting yet comfortable. Very small restaurant but constantly packed with people (at least it was on the Saturday we were there).

I had the Chicken Noodle Soup type dish which was easily the best i've ever had. One of the highlights of the menu is the KFC or Korean Fried Chicken and boy does it deliver!

Safe to say I am already planning my next trip ????
