Editorial Review for Bann – by Kathleen Squires
In Short
This stylish restaurant/bar tucked inside World Wide Plaza blends traditional cook-it-yourself Korean barbecue with trendy Asian-fusion nibbles. Stone slatted walls, glass partitions and marble tabletops evoke a fashionable Zen backdrop for chic snacks like daikon-wrapped lobster and beet rolls and chili-glazed chicken "drumettes" sitting atop fried green plantains. Barbecue choices stretch from the common short rib to an offbeat ostrich, and the smokeless grills spare the wardrobe of lingering cooking odors.

Went there for a birthday dinner. Had reservations but most of the group was late. the Hostess was very accomdating while we waited for the rest of our party and had no poblem seating us while we waited for the others the come. The restaurant looks great. Had never been to Korean restaurant before and we all were very impressed. Some of us ordered the barbecue and we able to cook our meat right at the table which was very exciting and fun. We all had such a good time there.I would def recommend to everyone.
Pros: Great Service, Food, and Ambience!
