Banchan Village - Southwest — Restaurant in Spring Valley

Used to come here religiously. But one day a friend and I were on our way for lunch. As we were getting there. A short Asian man walking in the same door purposely closed the door on us so we wouldn’t come in. Almost like he didn’t want to be kind and hold the door (no big deal no one’s obligated to open doors for any one. That wasn’t the issue) the issue was that he gave us the dirtiest look and pulled the door closed like he didn’t want us to come in. My friend and I kinda looked at each other and kept walking towards the door. We assumed it was just a customer. As we came in we noticed the man walked towards the back and was talking to everyone not in the best tone. He was talking kinda rudely to the cashier up front. He seen us and gave us such a dirty look like he didn’t want us in the business. Not sure if it was the owner but we felt so uncomfortable we left and didn’t purchase anything. I will never ever come here again. If he didn’t want a certain demographic in his restaurant then he could say that instead of making us feel like unwanted guest. My job constantly ordered here for luncheons. After we told our boss he too, said he won’t be ordering here. It takes nothing to be kind. Especially to those who help your business flourish. Kinda glad he did that because then we wouldn’t have found a better place to eat at. It was pathetic of him to act like that. I believe he got out of a black Mercedes very short 🤭 Asian man. And yes I will tell everyone I kno not to come here and refer them to our new location we found. We will take our...

Nice customer service. Was very quick. I ordered a soy chicken bento and it was made fresh to order, about 10 minutes. There’s a display shelf with the bentos you can order that’s still available for the day. I almost thought it was the only options left out to purchase since I went in later in the evening. It’s almost like the side storage room to the kbbq restaurant next door and they just added a store front. So if you like the neighboring restaurant, you’ll like this banchan shop! Soy chicken bento was ok. Not the most flavorful nor were the sides that’s included. I really liked the (2) potstickers though. Cucumber kimchi might not have fermented long enough, it seemed to lack flavor. The spicy shredded radish was decent. I’d come back for kimbap for snackums but I guess it’s only one lady that makes it during the day so it’s limited quantities and...

Yari is the person to talk to in this place. You have a question? She has all the answers. She is really patient and polite and makes you feel so welcome to come in. My friend and I were just perusing and she took her time to explain to us whatever we needed. The food is all fresh so it’s a good place to get great, healthful foods for nighttime cravings. If you like some meat, there also a section to satisfy your...
