Basan

“Food was delicious. Definitely get the tornado potato and the tofu donuts. Our server Nick was fabulous, excellent service and very personable. Will definitely come back.”

“Our first visit to Basan and it did not disappoint. It was very quiet when we arrived at 630 this Friday night. ...no games or concerts downtown tonight. Our waitress was excellent. She explained the menu and offered up her favorites. I had "scouted" the menu so pretty much knew what we wanted. We shared many things and all were very good to great. We particularly loved the potato tornado, lobster bun and Korean pancake. I loved the egg rolls but they were too spicy for my wife...not your typical egg rolls! The chef here is clearly talented and creative with the menu and the delicious sauces and seasonings. The peanut butter brownies brought with the bill were a nice touch and delish. Highest recommendation for Basan.”

“The rice gnocchi was surprisingly good, and the udon was solid as well. The chicken wings were tasty with the sauce, but the chicken itself was pretty bland. Portion sizes were very small and the prices felt high, which is somewhat expected given the location. Still, if you’re not looking to spend a lot for small portions, I probably wouldn’t recommend this place.”

“Service was great. I also really enjoyed the cocktails and desserts (tofu donuts and soft serve), although I do think they can tone down the amount of sugar on the tofu donuts, since the sauces are sweet enough. I love the soft serve though; would probably go back just for that. Now onto the less exciting things. The bao buns are okay, but there is just way too much sauce that I couldn’t taste the lobster. And the slice of American cheese on the perch bao is interesting too… Unfortunately they also served us *raw chicken* so even though I enjoyed the few pieces of the fried chicken that were indeed cooked (and the red sauce), I was quite upset about it overall. The staff and house manager were nice and apologized multiple times, and I understand that things happen. But I would probably tell them to make sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked next time.”

“What a disappointment...decided to stop by for dinner and start to finish was less than stellar...host were inattentive, greet times long, server was personable but kept disappearing for extended periods of time and food flavors quite dull (some items totally tasteless)...and trust me, we ordered a good variety of food. We were party of two and spent over $200”
