    Scallion pancake
    Cori F.

    This was our first time trying Bapsang but we will definitely be back. The staff were all so nice. The service was fantastic. The food was delicious. I would love to go back and order even more appetizers to share. The scallion pancakes were delicious with a nice sauce on the side. The fried dumplings had a nice crisp to them and good flavor. The fried chicken was quite nice. The sweet potato noodles with beef had fantastic flavor. I had trouble deciding which entree to order but I'm glad that I went with this one. The sides were all delicious as well. It's a small place won't a decent number of tables. If you have a larger party I'd plan ahead but plenty of 2-4 tops!

    I am super excited to have a great Korean spot this area in RI and not have to go to Providence for it! Bapsang is located in a strip mall with lots of parking. There are a decent amount of tables. Each time I've gone I didn't need to wait on a table and was seated right away. One of my favorite dishes there is the chicken wings! They are so crispy and flavorful and have the perfect texture. They do have a gluten free menu but they mention cross contamination is possible so likely not a celiac friendly spot.

    Korean Fried Chicken Wings

    Our party of 2 stopped in for dinner on a Friday night in September and lucked out with the last open table in the restaurant. It's an intimate space, with about 8 tables in the dining room. It was our second time there and we remembered the food being excellent. We were greeted by our server and immediately put in an order for the Korean Fried Chicken Wings. After a few minutes of looking into the rest of the menu, we also got a spicy pork and squid, and a tofu stew. The chicken wings came out in less than 10 minutes after ordered and they were massive pieces covered in a extremely flavorful sauce that had spice and sweetness. They were also still crunchy and we were saying how we could just eat them as the entire meal- they're that good. After we cleaned our faces and hands, the entrees arrived and each came with an array of accompaniments on a tray. The spicy pork came with lettuce to make wraps and some sauces as well, and the tofu stew came with a bowl of rice amongst other goodies. They were both excellent, the stew was comforting and the spicy pork and squid had a fiery kick. As excellent as the food was last time, we felt it was even this time and are eager to go back to Bapsang- especially when the weather is a little colder and its stew season.

    So happy that Bapsang is close by. It's definitely in a nondescript plaza that's easy to drive by. Inside it's small, but cozy and bright. Service was friendly and incredibly fast. Love the bonchon that they serve with your meal. We started with the dumplings and then got the katsu don and the short rib soup. I'd order everything again! The short rib soup was in one of their hot pots so it did stay steaming hot throughout the entire dinner and the katsu don had the perfect crunch. There are plenty of other things I'd like to try next time like their ramen and Korean fried chicken.

    The restaurant name, Bapsang, has an awe-inspiring backstory rooted in the Korean tradition of building a meal around rice. On the way back from Port Juliet, we found this charming little Korean spot and were so excited to try the dishes. ===== RATING: B- ===== [FOOD: 5/10 ] General Comments: - Their soups seem strictly curated and are not chicken friendly! Most will have pre-set protein options except for the Soondubu (Tofu Stew) - Banchan (side dishes) are limited in options with only 3 underwhelming plates of sweet potato, cucumbers in a spicy sauce, and lettuce with minimal drizzling of a dressing Silken Tofu Salad - 3/10 It was presented beautifully so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, this dish did not meet them. While the salad was refreshingly cool and tossed seamlessly, it lacked flavor. I wish it would've had a small bit of gochujang or some additional dressing to kick it up a bit. I would definitely not get it again. Hotpot Bulgogi Stew - 5/10 I was brave today and wanted to try something I hadn't seen before on the menu at a Korean restaurant. This soup has only a couple of main ingredients: bulgogi (beef), mushroom, carrots, onions, and glass noodles. The broth was flavorful with notes of both savory and sweet. However, beef was inconsistent in texture with some pieces soft and some overly chewy and tendon-y. It was alright overall, but I don't think I'd get it again. [SERVICE: 8/10] Great service! Our servers were kind, respectful, and attentive. The food came out fast and piping hot. [AMBIANCE: 8/10 ] The inside is considerately decorated with pretty paintings and beige-toned decorations. The noise volume is not too loud or too quiet. The food is served on pretty wooden trays fittingly complimented with gold metal silverware. [OVERALL: 7/10 ] For what the restaurant lacks in culinary flair and true authenticity, it makes up for with attention to aesthetic detail and quality service. If you're looking for a Korean restaurant with reliably great food to frequent, this place might fall short. However, it's fine for a single-time checkout for hungry out-of-state visitors like us. If I do come back, I'll try the wings. They seem to be pretty popular so maybe this is what people come here for.

    This is a little gem in all sense of the word. Nestled in an unlikely spot of Rhode Island Bapsang is great. Food is solid and presentation with the individual side dishes for the individual diner just works. This was out second time to Bapsang and I tried their hot stone bi bim bap. I normally don't get bi bimbap since we have it pretty often at home but we don't do a stone bowl so I decided to go for it. It's got a nice mix of fresh vegetables, egg and meat. You can of course customize it to your liking. I love the crunchy rice that you get from the hot bowl. The sides are okay. My kid got the Kalbi which was seasoned really well and well caramelized. My wife got the ossam bulgogi which is her absolute favorite. I think the one knock for bapsang is that they don't give the traditional kimchi as a side. It's the cucumber kind which isn't really fermented and just a bit too fresh and fish saucy for my taste. I understand why they do it however. I think regular kimchi can be a big source of waste for a restaurant. But it would be nice for it to be an option. I always order a bottle of green apple soju to complete the meal. It fills the role of alcohol and dessert for me. A double win. 5 stars Bapsang.

    Hidden gem in real life Was visiting this place after a long time. Our initial visit was just ok, due to modest ambience and not so impressive taste. Visited again yesterday and was mind blown with the quality of food, presentation and ambience of the place. We tried spicy fried rice, Korean ramen and bibimbap and all 3 dishes were outstanding. Will be back again to try other dishes from the menu

    Yum! A definite Korean jewel! We took a lovely drive to Newport, Rhode island which is amazing! After that we were quite hungry and son wanted Korean food. We were lucky to find this small Korean restaurant not far away. They have a small parking lot and from the outside just looked like an ordinary restaurant but wow! Step inside to find an amazing peaceful, relaxing little gem. Beautifully decorated. The service was very good and fairly fast. THE Food was so delicious. My katsu was light and crispy, not oily at all. The hot plum wine was wonderful and they gave refills. Son's loved his spicy pork and hubby loved his hot noodle dish. The ban chan was also very good! Everything was wonderful and we would love to come back if we're ever in the area again!

    Revisited Bapsang after a few years after graduating college and also post-pandemic. The restaurant still looks the same. Small, cozy, friendly, and familiar. I dined alone, however, this time. I ordered the vegetable mandu, which wasn't the most exciting but was still good for a light appetizer. For an entree, I ordered the stone-pot Bibimbap with spicy pork. It was super filling. I was almost full and had only gotten through half the pot. The banchan changes seasonally. I liked the pickled cucumber and sweet potatoes that I had. For dessert, I tried the Honey Toast. Absolutely delicious. My favorite part of my meal. I was in between choosing the other desserts on the menu as well. Overall, Bapsang would be good to visit for authentic Korean food in the area for a tiny group (2-4 people).

    Staff is very friendly and attentive. Small, cozy, and clean inside. The food is very authentic except banchan can be alittle better, my husband doesn't eat cucumber, to our surprise Korean food no kimchi banchan is minus 1 star.

    Bibimbap
    Shelley L.

    On our trip here, I wanted a soothing soup and my hubby discovered Bapsang online. I'm always down for a good Korean meal. It's a small place with a few tables. The staff was kind and attentive to every patron. Decent parking spots outside. I'm glad we came early because it filled up fast. Each dish you order comes with a tray and banchan (side dishes). Their banchan appears smaller but that's because its in individual portions versus the bigger dishes served at NYC Korean restaurants. It's a cute presentation, each with soup or salad and the side dishes. We ordered the jap chae, bibimbap, and galbitang. All delicious! There's less meat in the galbitang compared to spots at home but the broth was good. Also ordered a ginger tea and it was the perfect touch of spicy and sweet. Bathroom is clean and all the way in the back. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

I dined here on Christmas Day at the invitation of a relative who has eaten here a few times and swears by the clay pot dishes. The restaurant was very busy, busier than usual, I was told. We were seated quickly, which felt promising. That momentum did not continue. After we said we weren't quite ready to order since we had just sat down and a couple of us were new to the spot, we asked the server to return. She did, about 10 minutes later. From there, it became a series of waits. The appetizer arrived first, then one main dish was served, leaving the other two diners waiting another 12 minutes. Plenty of time to admire someone else's food. There were a few service hiccups. One water glass had a visible crack and took some persistent hand waving to replace. The soy sauce container was empty, and after more waving, I eventually stood up and borrowed one from a nearby empty table. Light cardio included. The dishes are pricier than average, which I'm generally fine with. The restaurant is clean, newer, and located on the outskirts of East Greenwich, which may explain the pricing. What disappointed me was my $26 eel hot pot (aka Unagi Kobayaki). While it tasted good, it consisted of four slivers of eel, yes, four, which we confirmed, a few avocado slices, and a lot of rice. For that price, it felt ambitious. I could have enjoyed a very nice sushi meal elsewhere for less. Ordering clay hot pots is not new to me. To be fair, one of my companions ordered the Boneless spare ribs hot pot and enjoyed it. That dish had noticeably more protein and felt far more balanced. In short, the food flavors are good, but the service struggled, perhaps due to the holiday rush. I may try this place again on a less busy day, but with several other options nearby, I do not yet see a strong competitive advantage.

    We went to Gopchang Story on a Saturday evening and were a little surprised it wasn't more crowded…read more It was clear, though, that those who were there knew exactly what they came for. There was a strong Korean presence, which always feels like a good sign when you're looking for something authentic and a bit outside the norm. I was especially excited to try gopchang (grilled intestines), and it ended up being both new and oddly familiar. The texture is definitely different, but not off-putting at all. When you think about it, sausage comes from similar ingredients, so it's not as foreign as it might sound. Having had sweetbreads and offals before, some of the flavor notes felt recognizable, which made it easier to appreciate. Other items, like the thin-sliced brisket, were more familiar and just as enjoyable. Everything we had was fresh and well-prepared. The space itself is clean, bright, and welcoming, with K-pop videos playing and a solid selection of Korean drinks like soju and Milkis to round things out. The side dishes were creative and accessible, including corn cheese, steamed eggs, house salad, and japchae noodles. The egg fried rice was excellent as well, and a great complement to the meats. Our group ranged from adventurous to more cautious eaters, and everyone genuinely enjoyed the experience. Cooking at the table took a minute to get used to, but it was part of the fun and easy to pick up. Service was friendly and helpful throughout. The ventilation was very good and not overly smoky, which can sometimes be an issue at Korean BBQ spots. It is a bit on the pricier side, but for a special occasion or a night out to try something new, it felt justified. This works well either as a fun date night or with a small group so you can try a variety of dishes. Even dessert was a highlight, creative and well executed. This is the kind of place that feels like a special night out, and we would absolutely go back.

The restaurant itself has a great vibe -- very clean, neatly decorated, and the little waterfall feature added such a calming touch. It made the whole meal feel extra relaxing. The only downside was the orange chicken -- it had actual orange peels in it, and they were burnt, which threw the flavor off. Everything else was fantastic though, and absolutely worth ordering again. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, especially since we had our 13-week-old daughter with us.
