I came here for my birthday dinner! Amazing Korean BBQ with deliciously unique banchan and the cold noodles to finish? Absolutely hit the spot! The only downside is that parking can be challenging. It's a shared lot so be prepared to look for street parking or take a rideshare or public transportation. I "will" be back! read more

yum!! delicious kbbq here in ktown :) wait can be a little long and parking is dreadful but that's just how it is out here haha service here is prompt and they refill your banchans as much as you want! i loved the banchan selection and the array of dishes. there were some items that aren't traditionally given which i liked. we came with a big group and we got the beef and pork set. the meat was good quality and tasted delicious. they cook the meat for you so we just kept eating and eating it can get a little loud as the night goes on but it's part of the experience. loved every bite! read more

Yangmani - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

I recently visited Yangmani's newest location on Western with a couple of friends to celebrate a birthday, and it did not disappoint. This is one of those places where you really can't go wrong. While they don't offer all-you-can-eat, the quality of both the meats and the banchan more than makes up for it. They serve side dishes you don't typically find at other KBBQ spots like quail eggs and marinated sesame leaves, which felt especially nostalgic and authentic. We opted for a premium selection focused mainly on beef, and that turned out to be the right call. Every cut was tender, juicy, and clearly high quality. One unique touch that stood out was their matcha salt...something I hadn't encountered before. It's a subtle addition, but it adds a distinct depth that enhances the flavor of the beef in an interesting way. The space itself is beautiful and feels like a step up from their original location, even if it's a bit bittersweet that they've moved. As for parking, there's street parking available along Western, as well as a nearby lot. We ended up walking from Koreatown since a friend lives nearby, which was convenient. Overall, I highly recommend Yangmani to anyone looking for high-quality Korean BBQ. It's easy to see why it's so popular within the Korean community. read more

Aside from the chained KBBQ big boys around LA and OC Counties, Yangmani is another OG KBBQ place that's superb. The waiting time can be quite awhile, up to a hour plus, especially during the weekends. So personally, I rather come during the week. Service is great, and the meat is good. The offer small combos for two people, and large combos for more of us. The meat quality is leaner compared to other places. My favorite is the beef galbi, and the brisket. Easy to cook, at medium-rare, and enjoy. The bon chons are bottomless. Rice paper may be limited though, but the salad and kimchi is unlimited. Personally, I rather save my stomach for the meat. Remember, these are combos and not all you can eat (ayce). The service is awesome. They'll cook for you! The servers are very attentive as they keep moving checking on their tables. During the wait, or after the meal, Yangmani offers slushis at the front door area. Nice perk to keep people coming! Parking however is paid valet. I think it's $3.00 mandatory. Their lot is smaller, and they may park your car elsewhere. Overall, I always enjoyed my meal here. Great experience and awesome service. Yes, your clothes will smell like your food afterwards. Enjoy! LoL. read more

Who cares about having money when you're old when you can have Yangmani right now? This was my third time having Yangmani, and it's easily one of my favorite Korean BBQ spots in LA. This location is better than the Rowland Heights one for sure! I heard this is the OG spot anyways. We came here for lunch on a weekday, so it was pretty quiet, but that actually worked out perfectly. Our server gave extra-detailed attention to grilling the meats, constantly checking, flipping, and cooking everything to perfection. The service really elevated the whole meal. We ordered the intestine, pork belly, and dry-aged steak. The intestine and pork belly were definitely the highlights, but the dry-aged steak was still solid and enjoyable. What made the meal even better were all the sides and special sauces for dipping the meats. Those little details added a lot of flavor and made the experience feel more complete. Extra TIP- they allowed us to sub out items so we got pork belly instead of the one of the abossum intestine! Get this MANNII read more

Got the variety combo for two, the brisket and short rib were very good. Coupled with the beef belly and ribeye slices, I was definitely stuffed at the end of the meal. The sides were also amazing. I have to say, Yangmani might have some of the best side dishes in all of Ktown. I really enjoyed the braised beef and the sour (but refreshing) cucumbers. Service was good too, the servers grill the meats for you and are knowledgeable of which sauces go best with which meat. Parking is valet, $5 if you Venmo and $4.5 if you use cash. Overall, I'd definitely come again! read more

Yangmani - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really really good KBBQ. Is it the best? That's debatable. We went at 5:45pm on a Saturday night and there was no wait which is a huge plus. The side dishes were all super tasty and the meal came with plenty of dipping sauce for your meat. We ordered the variety set for 2 and it was more than enough food for us. My favorites were the ribeye and the brisket, cooked to perfection by our server. Service is friendly and quick. We were seated close to the server station so that might be a huge reason why. Expect the typical loud drunk Korean uncles and aunties vibes and to pay a decent amount of money. read more

Yangmani - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Simply the best spot for intestines--hands down. We came in around lunchtime on a Friday; it was busy with a smaller server team, so service was a bit stretched. That said, the food quality is consistently on point. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and the banchan selection is excellent. Valet parking (as expected in K-Town) is available, accepts AMEX, and they can split the bill for up to two people. read more

I honestly can't believe I haven't come here yet because I tried a lot of kkbq spots in ktown, but yangmani was like actually really good. I actually thought their selection of side dishes and the meat selections were really delicious. I like how they also have windows so there is a lot of ventilation and you ain't walking out smelling like meat. Service was also really good read more

We came in at 9:55pm, an hour before closing and were told that we don't have long to eat. We were seated anyways and were asked to pay up front. Totally fine by us, and got the beef intestine set where we were able to try all 4. The bon chon was really good, personal favorites were the rice and fish cake and salad. The beef large and small intestines were really good, other two not so much. Was really grateful for the waiter to cook our intestines for us though, was nice. Around 10:30pm though, things started to get awry, the waiter started to close up shop and asked us if we wanted a box even though we weren't done eating. We got one box and wanted to pack the bon chon to go as well to not waste it, however the waiter asked us what it was for and he didn't allow us to pack it to go. Was annoying being rushed and not allowed to pack our left overs as we bought a set but it it was it is. My sister was really upset about the whole experience which was a downer for me. Otherwise it was a nice interior. We also did not get any water. Parking outside but there's alot of trash on the street. read more

The food and service was good. The restaurant was clean and the side dishes were plentiful.

Went around 12:30 and was seated immediately. We ordered the Variety Combo ($96). It's definitely on the pricier side, but it was filling even though it's not AYCE. The meats were just okay overall, nothing too memorable. The only standout for me was the boneless short rib. Also, the service felt a bit standoffish, though I did appreciate that they cook the meats for you. Parking is valet, but we were able to find street parking instead. Not a bad spot to try read more

I visited this place recently, and I always go for the gopchang combo whenever I come. I've also tried the makchang, daechang, and even the beef brisket, and everything was honestly so good. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality and flavor definitely make it worth it. The meats are rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. On top of that, all the side dishes were really tasty as well, which made the whole experience even better. If you're a fan of Korean BBQ, especially gopchang, I'd definitely recommend this spot. read more

I have been interested in trying their new location since they moved deeper into ktown. Street parking seems impossible, but thankfully this plaza has valet for $5. Yukhoe - 4.5/5, excellent portion for the price. The pine nuts add an excellent nutty flavor to the sweet marinade, the raw beef is frozen and is super refreshing with the Korean pear. The flavor is more sweet than savory which I don't prefer, but overall this was a really good entree. Gopchang - 5/5, prepared much better than other kbbq restaurants. They were able to get the gamey taste out of the intestine, and it was cooked well with crispy sides. Beef tongue - 3.5/5, usually my favorite cut but maybe little too thin? Variety combo - 4/5, great value for different cuts and types of meat. The server overcooked one of the cuts, but overall very good experience. read more

Yangmani - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Yangmani is one of my favorite Korean BBQ restaurants that I've been going to since they were previously located on Olympic Boulevard before and they moved to their current Western location a few months ago. The quality of the meat is great and everything tastes delicious, and the staff is always friendly. What I especially love about this place is the banchan (side dishes) -- they all have deep, well-developed flavors and are incredibly tasty. That's why I enjoy coming here from time to time, and I think I've been here more than 10 times so far. read more

Oh my goodness, phenomenal service phenomenal dishes. The Bonchon was off the hook. I love that the server shared with us that the Kongbiji Jjigae that we were served is something that's super traditional that only his grandmother and mother make it was just over the top so delicious.!!!! don't miss this treasure!!! Beautiful & Clean so nice!!! read more

Great to quality of meats. Got the variety combo for me, my wife and kid. Should've gotten something marinated for one of the meats. Great banchans. Service was quick surprisingly on a Saturday. Seated within 5 minutes. read more

I first tried Yangmani back when they were at their original Olympic location, and I freaked out a lil when I came one day and saw they had closed.. So when they finally revealed their new Ktown location, I was really excited to check it out. The new space is much more spacious with tables that don't feel as cramped (depending on your party size), and thankfully the food is still just as delicious. Depending on our mood, my friends and I usually order the Chef or variety combo since they offer a good mix of different meats--sometimes we get both if we're really starving. The service has always been amazing and the staff is super attentive. They also cook the meats for you, which elevates the whole experience. There's a parking lot out front and there's valet available at certain times. read more

Came here right before the airport and honestly what a great decision!!! their meat quality is definitely better than the one in Rowland Heights ! Their service is OK. Their ambience is definitely very nice inside. I definitely love all the meat selection that we picked. read more

We usually visit the Rowland Heights location, but after a long time, we decided to head out to LA and try this one. They mentioned it has been about a year since they relocated. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was genuinely kind and attentive. There's no need to compare the two locations--both offer consistently great food in their own way. The ambiance was lovely, and the quality of the meat was excellent, making the experience very satisfying overall. read more

I came with a group and got the variety combo. This combo came with boneless short rib, ribeye rusu gui, thinly sliced brisket, pork belly, one slice of king oyster mushroom, lots of onion rings and bean sprouts for the grill. The short rib and ribeye were the best. We also got a bowl of steamed egg to share. I liked that the steamed egg came with fish roe on top. The combo came with a salad and many delicious side dishes. The side dishes that we asked for seconds were the pickled cucumbers and purple onion, marinated perilla leafs, pickled sliced radishes, and marinated quail eggs. I like that the staff cooked for us. She came to our table many times to check on the meat and told us when it was ready to eat. There was one restroom for women and one restroom for men. Parking was valet only for a fee. read more

Came here and got the variety combo. It was a good amount for 4 people. The banchan here is unique (in a good way). compared to other Korean restaurants. A few were so unique that I didn't even know what they were and I'm Korean! Overall, the meat was pretty good. I think it would be nice if there was more variety in the meats. I like that the servers cooked for us at this restaurant. read more

Walked into Yangmani on a Thursday night with no reservation and got seated instantly. By around 8pm though, the place was packed and there was definitely a wait. One thing to note -- you have to order at least two meat options, which can be a lot if it's just two people and you're not super hungry. Still, we went for it. The mega galbi (their most popular) was easily one of the best I've had in LA. Super tender, almost felt pre-marinated and prepped perfectly -- all you really do is finish it on the grill and dip. Every bite was solid. The bulgogi was also different in a good way -- not your typical thin, overly sweet version. This was ribeye cuts with onions and mushrooms, much more premium feel. Fried rice was a hit -- strong kimchi flavor, nice crunch from celery, plus bits of pork belly throughout. Really well done. Banchan (starters) were actually unique -- I've been to a lot of KBBQ spots and this one stood out. You can tell there's more thought put into it. Service was top tier. Staff basically handles everything -- you don't cook, they do it all, and they do it well. Easy 5 stars. Next time I'm coming with more people so I can order freely without worrying about finishing everything. read more

40 min wait on a Saturday night but that is to be expected for a weekend in Ktown. I was a fan of the cilantro kimchi which isn't super common as well the many sauces & dips that they provide (black bean and hot ssamjang?) Meat was quality, service was fast and attentive, and price was fair. A solid kbbq spot to put in the rotation, Parking is valet only in a lot. read more

It took me five years of living in Koreatown but I finally have dined at Yangmani! I loved it so much and I am wondering why I didn't go sooner. Cliche as that may sound it's so legit, I promise haha It's quickly shot up to one of my favorite KBBQ spots in Los Angeles and ya girl doesn't rate lightly. Open since 2007, but in this new location just since December, the staff at Yangmani are all fantastic! Everyone is so sweet and so old school cooking with arms behind backs. One server in particular was extra kind & gave tons of compliments to the toddler with us - so bonus points for that! Now the food at Yangmani is so money. I wasn't going expecting much for an old school style intestine specializing kbbq because of my childhood biases. However the meat here is just so stellar, the service is so great and the banchans are tasty, too. Plus, you have fun dessert drinks as you leave - I prefer the green apple-~so yum~! To reiterate, the best thing about Yangmani: Their meat is really, really good. I'm a protein hound and this is some top tier flavored stuff at Yangmani. Gobchang speciality but all the cuts felt very premium and the marinated meats had mouthwatering flavors. With the solid meats, fabulous staff and cute new location with valet parking - I'm obsessed with Yangmani and I'll be back soon. read more

Yangmani has been my top KBBQ spot for years-and it's the one I always recommend to friends and colleagues. But to be honest, I come more for the banchan (side dishes) than the meat. They serve complimentary side dishes you won't find at most Korean restaurants. My favorite is the Gang-doenjang-a thick, savory soybean paste stew that's really good with any of their meats. It comes out on the grill, so make sure to wait until it's bubbling hot before digging in. Another standout is the Kimchi biji Jjigae (ground soybean stew with kimchi). I'm usually not a fan of biji jjigae, but Yangmani's version is the exception- I could probably eat it with a bowl of rice and skip the meat entirely. My favorite meat cuts here are the ribeye cap and boneless short rib. Friends have told me that the intestines are really good too. The staff is great at grilling all the meat perfectly. The vibe is casual and unpretentious. If you're looking for KBBQ that goes beyond the usual cuts of meat, Yangmani is it. And seriously-don't skip the banchan! read more

The meat here was excellent, tender, flavorful, and grilled perfectly since the staff cook it for you at the table. I tried the yang bab, which tasted like a standard kimchi fried rice, nothing too special. Service was great and attentive. Staff refilled the banchan often, and everything came out quickly. The restaurant itself is very clean, though prices are on the higher side, but honestly, it feels worth it for the quality and experience. If you visit at night, note that parking is valet ($4). read more

Great food. Love all the extra banchans that come with your order. One of my go to kbbq

Yangmani is low-key one of the most underrated Korean BBQ spots around. We decided to go with the Chef Cut Combo since it's their most popular choice. The quality of the meats is seriously next level. You can taste the difference right away, especially with their dry-aged cuts. Everything has that deeper, richer flavor and crazy tenderness you usually only get at high-end steakhouses. Even the simpler cuts hit harder here, and the marinades don't overpower the natural flavor of the beef. Compared to a lot of other Korean BBQ spots that feel more about quantity than quality, Yangmani really stands out. It's not just endless plates of the same stuff... it's curated, premium, and worth slowing down to enjoy. At the same time though, we were super full when we left. Plenty of food for our party of 3. read more

I've been coming here for years but it definitely has been a while. This was my first time at the new location and I'm so glad they have a bigger space! The staff here was amazing and super accommodating. Came here with my baby, and they went over and beyond! Down to children plate setting and entertaining him. Standing ovation. The food is still amazing and I might have to say this is probably the best kbbq in koreatown. The price point for the quality and options is top tier. Definitely coming back and bringing everyone I know with me. I left feeling I can eat this every damn day. read more

Yangmani is now my go-to spot for kbbq in ktown! Great quality of meats, impeccable service, and even a slushy machine for a sweet, cool dessert for your meat sweats! They don't take reservations at 4pm so keep in mind that you will be waiting a minimum of 30 minutes during dinner rush. My group of 7 waited about 45 min to an hour for a table during peak dinner time on a Friday night. Once seated, we ordered a wide variety of meats - a large variety combo, a small chang combo with no mountain tripe, soy bean paste soup, and extra myung-i namul. The servers came around to grill the meats for us and made sure we had everything we needed. We asked the server to cut our large intestine both flat and round, which is the way I had it in Korea. The flat way of cutting does cook off more of the fatty layer, but it makes the texture chewier, and it's really delicious. We also ordered a mul naengmyun and bibim naengmyun near the end to help wash down the grease. I'm usually a mul naengmyun girl, but I enjoyed their bibim naengmyun a little bit more. Best spot hands down and will definitely be back! read more

I came here at 12pm at Sunday and the restaurant wasn't packed. There was only one other table before us. We were seated immediately. I am specifically impressed with the banchan. The banchan I liked the most were the quail eggs and the cold beef. They refilled the banchanif we request. The restaurant isn't too big, roughly around 20-25 tables. The servers grilled the meat for us. I ordered a portion of 2 and added on intestines and beef tongue, and cold noodles. We were so full after. There were intestines left because they took a while to cook and hence cooked last. At the end, we got free kimchi soup and hot soup crispy rice. Valet parking is $4 read more

I dined at Yangmani with my daughter on a Sunday around 5pm. The wait was minimal, and they have a self serve slushy machine, which is a nice touch while waiting and even after dinner. It was my first time at this location, and I was looking forward to it since Yangmani is one of the more popular KBBQ spots in Ktown. We ordered the $95 variety combo, which included brisket, non-marinated kalbi, roast gui (tripe is also an alternative), and pork belly. The meal came with a generous spread of banchan, salad, and a variety of dipping sauces like vinegar soy with jalapeños, wasabi, sambal, and green tea salt. It also included a bi-gee (비지 찌개) chigae and ddoenjang (된장 찌개) chigae. Service was great, our server cooked all of the meats for us, which made the experience easy and enjoyable. The ventilation wasn't that great, and it gets pretty crowded and busy. The interior is nothing fancy very typical KBBQ vibe. Overall, though, the meal was just average. Nothing really stood out, and the quality of the meat was a bit underwhelming. It was disappointing, and for now, I'm crossing Yangmani off my favorites list. Dinner for two came out to $139 with tip. read more
