Well this was a find... Queer o meter 10! And what a great little spot. It's loved in an unassuming quiet strip mall type plaza next to a Dunkin. It's not much to look at from The outside, and frankly inside isn't dazzling either. It's small with hmmm 10 tables maybe?! Fairly nondescript. But that's where the nondescript ends because the service and food were great. Check out the pictures, they speak for themselves. And every item we got was delicious, hot and served with a smile. There was one alcoholic drink and the bill with tip, was about $52 pp. that was with the shared apps, a meal each and 2 shared desserts. IMO, fairly priced. Want a romantic dinner? Don't go here. Want great food, nice service folk and to support local? Go here. It's delicious! Cheers!

Japchae and Bulgogi
Justin P.

Overall great little spot but a bit pricey in some aspects! Service: The service wasn't great we weren't offered water refills and had to ask for our check and boxes. Water cups were very small so I was hoping to at least be asked if we wanted more. There was only one other group of two seated which for how slow it was we should've had better service. Ambiance: Very calm spot with nice plant decorations and a very welcoming environment. Japchae and Bulgogi w sides: Great seasoned meat and portions. Meat prices vary but I paid $3 to add beef to my Japchae which made it about $19. I do like how big the portions were in comparison to some other spots for similar prices. My brother and I got full. Everything tasted fantastic and we were happy with what we got for the price. Great side dishes that paired excellent with our food. Drinks: Sujeonggwa and Haitai Crushed pear drinks ridiculously overpriced. Each drink was $5 and they are just canned and added over ice. They were good but don't waste money and instead go to a local Asian mart and get them for under $2! I also noticed desserts like a 3pc fried cinnamon sugar and fruit filling dumpling was very pricey or even small portion items cost a lot. Overall: I'd likely come back just to get some decent Korean food with some good portions but there were a few issues with service and prices on things.

The food was so good and the ambiance and service was impeccable. Kat our waitress was just adorable and such a sweetheart. She had great recommendations! Walking in we received such a warm welcome and so many smiles we felt very happy to be here. It felt like going over to a relatives you haven't seen in a while. The smell of food and sizzling sounds from the kitchen make you feel so hungry and when you receive the food you just melt it is so good. The food comes out fairly quick and hot and fresh. Love the kimchee!!!

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
Victoria K.

Don't be fooled by appearances. This unassuming spot in a strip mall is a haven for fantastic Korean food! The Korean fried chicken wings were SO CRISPY and the spicy sauce wasn't too spicy. Really balanced flavor and spice all the way. I also really loved the spicy chicken ramen. It wasn't too spicy either but beware that it can stain your clothes as you slurp away My cousin got the army soup and loved it (she had been here on several occasions before and noted it was one of her favorite dishes). I will be back!

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!

Katsu don
Holly K.

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.

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.

Kimchi Jjigae (soup)
Allison T.

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.

Bibimbap spread.
Min Y.

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

Plum tea
Kathleen R.

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).

Very disappointed in the experience but the decor was really nice and I've been wanting to try this place out since my friends had a galentines day event here after our spa day but I had to go home so I didn't make it to the restaurant until today. Food was okay, the calamari taste like fish sticks and my husband and kids like fish sticks but I don't so I didn't eat that. My philly roll was okay but my husband and kids all loved their rolls so it's always nice when your kids are satisfied with the food. I'm on the fence as to whether or not I'd give this place another chance because it is 5 minutes away from my house but the service and overall experience was mid. The orange chicken was good nothing special so I was happy about that. I will add that the lychee sangria was probably my favorite part of this whole meal so if you want good drinks, this is your place! If you try this place out, I hope that you have a better experience than we did. It's probably the worst experience we've had in town.

This review is for their dim sum menu! Is it the best dim sum ever? No, but it's quite good and…read morereally solid! Dim sum is usually a brunch thing, but we were in the area for a movie and just wanted dim sum for dinner. The two of us ordered the congee with shredded pork and thousand year egg, bok choy, salty shrimp, and off of the dim sum menu: steam rice roll with shrimp, chicken feet, oyster sauce duck feet, siu mai x2, shrimp chive dumplings, and Chinese tea. Forgot to take a photo of the siu mai even though that's our favorite. We also asked for hot mustard and chili oil sauce because that's how my family has eaten dim sum and that's how we now continue to enjoy dim sum. Everything tastes as expected. The chicken feet were nice and soft and fell off the bone. The dishes weren't too salty. The salty shrimp was as advertised--salty and crunchy. The congee is a large portion because it's mostly rice and water, but I just really wanted it and it did not disappoint. The tea could have been more flavorful, it was quite light. Despite that, the tea is still a diuretic. We did end up taking some food as leftovers. The customer service was really fast and polite! The interior is pleasant with interesting decor (a spear/halberd? mounted on the wall). The table partitions are pretty tall so you don't see the other customers if they're seated adjacent. It wasn't very busy when we went on a Wednesday evening, and parking is no issue at all here. Overall a good place to get some Chinese food whether you're a party of two or a party.
