" I am a Korean food lover, and I can say with certainty that Ban Chan has some of the most authentic dishes I've found in Arizona! My favorites were the jjjigae and dakgalbi, which were flavorful without being overly spicy. The portions were generous, and I loved that they served us a variety of side dishes. The service was prompt, albeit a bit too casual for my taste. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone craving genuine Korean meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just wanted to express how great Ban Chan is! I have been there multiple times, and I love their spicy chicken dish. It is savory and has the perfect level of heat. Last time, I also tried the acorn jelly, which was surprisingly pleasant! The staff is accommodating, and you can tell they love the food they serve. The only complaint I could make is sometimes they forget an order, but they rectify it quickly. Can't wait for my next meal there! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard great things about Ban Chan, so I finally decided to give it a try. The food was good overall, but I expected a bit more from the kimchi stew, as I found it was not as fermented as I prefer. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. However, I felt the dishes could use just a little more depth in flavor. Still, I would come back to try some other items on the menu. Overall, a nice experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't too sure about this restaurant initially. It has a very casual vibe, and you almost feel like you're at home. I tried the grilled mackerel and bibimbap. The fish was flavorful, but the bibimbap had too much sauce for my taste. What I loved though was the variety of their banchan – each was delightful! A very homely atmosphere, the server often checked up on me, which I appreciated. While some dishes might need fine-tuning, I’d still recommend it for its authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at Ban Chan felt like being transported back home; the flavors and textures were incredibly reminiscent of my grandmother's cooking. The man who served us shared stories about the dishes, which made the experience feel extra special. The only downside was the time it took for our food to arrive, but the wait was worthwhile for the flavors! Highly recommend the spicy pork and kimchi fried rice. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Ban Chan was quite fulfilling! Each dish we ordered delivered layers of flavors that echoed the traditional Korean culinary experience. The server was patient and helpful in navigating the menu, which was great since we were new to the cuisine. However, I wasn’t impressed with the manner in which the food was served; there were some discrepancies between what was shown on the menu and what we received, which deducted from the overall experience. Nonetheless, I will consider returning to try more authentic options! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can honestly say that I had a wonderful dining experience at Ban Chan! The quality of their ingredients shone through in every dish we ordered. The spicy pork and shrimp fried rice were standout dishes for sure, with that perfect heat that Korean dishes are known for. The service could have been a bit quicker, but the server was friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. I will surely be coming back whenever I am craving authentic Korean food!
