Banchan spread
반찬 · Banchan

Twelve small plates. No two visits the same.

Every table starts with our rotating selection of banchan — kimchi fermented for forty days, sesame spinach, sweet-pickled radish, fish cake stir-fry, and whatever the Cumberland farmers brought us that morning. Bottomless, always.

A Lakeside Table

A Seoul childhood, a Kentucky lake, and one small dining room in between.

Han River BBQ is family-run by the Park family, who fell for Lake Cumberland on vacation and never quite left. Come hungry, leave full, and stay for the second pour of soju.
