Yangmani is now one of our favorite kkq spots. It is on the more expensive side but the quality of the meat is awesome and the service is top notch. They grilled the meat for you. We have been to both locations, Rowland heights and the Korea town. Each location has a slightly different menu set of meat. I prefer the Korea town location more. Their banchan is a little more unique. They offered more pickled vegetables to go with their meat and soybean stew. The Rowland heights offer a typical banchan set with japchae, stewed meat and steam egg and cheese corn. We've tired the tofu stew at both location, the ktown one seemed tastier. Their spicy and reg cold noodles were also good. They have many cuts of meat. The chef combo is always a great starter there are other combos or a la carte selections to choose from. read more

Yangmani - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came to Yangmani for some serious K-BBQ vibes, and it definitely delivered (with a few quirks). Service started off super attentive -- our server walked us through the menu and helped with recommendations. Midway through, though, things got quiet. Maybe a shift change? Hard to say, but we ended up grilling solo for a bit. Now, the real highlight: the meat. Every cut was tender, beautifully marbled, and full of flavor. The marinated intestines were a total surprise hit -- rich, chewy, perfectly seasoned. Side dishes were fresh and well-balanced. We ordered the Large set, which tasted amazing but was a little smaller than expected -- so maybe size up if you're hungry. PSA: Watch out for oil dripping under the table! If you're in shorts, your legs might get an unwanted "BBQ glow-up." Overall, Yangmani serves up some seriously good meat with solid quality and flavor. Just a bit more service consistency and it'd be a 5-star night. read more

Delicious bbq and excellent quality meat. Very friendly staffs and they offered a lot of side dishes. The beef combo was a lot of food plus 2 soups! The side dishes were also very delicious. Free frozen drink on the way out. read more

So many good Korean bbq restaurants in Koreatown! decided to give yangmani a try. Personally, it was a bit of a disappointment. We got the beef combo and the spicy cold noodles. We didn't think the meat quality was good at all. The cold spicy noodle was way too sweet. We did not finish the noodles after taking couple bites. However The banchans were good and service was good. read more

I grew up eating Korean BBQ every Saturday night with my family--it was our weekly tradition and a way to celebrate the weekend. So BBQ, to me, is more than just food. It's a piece of home and a special comfort for the soul. I've tried nearly every Korean BBQ spot in Koreatown, LA, and I'm genuinely excited to see Yangmani stepping up in such a competitive scene. The meal started strong with a well-curated set of banchan--fresh, classic, and comforting. They set the right tone and brought out the appetite. We ordered galbi, anchangsal (beef outside skirt), daechang (beef large intestine), and gopchang (beef small intestine). As someone who especially loves specialty cuts, I was really impressed. The anchangsal was tender and deeply flavorful. The daechang was crisp on the outside, buttery on the inside--easily top three in LA for me. The gopchang had a nice chew and a rich, savory taste that true fans will appreciate. We also enjoyed kimchi jjigae and especially the chadol doenjang jjigae, which was earthy, bold, and incredibly satisfying--honestly, I'm still thinking about it. If you enjoy naengmyeon, I highly recommend their Hamheung-style naengmyeon. Originating from the northern city of Hamheung, this cold noodle dish features chewy noodles and a tangy-sweet broth that's both refreshing and full of depth--an ideal way to wrap up a heavy BBQ meal. The space is small, as it used to be a lamb skewer restaurant, and the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed at peak time. But the slightly chaotic and noisy vibe feels authentically Korean--it's tight, it's loud, it's full of energy, and you might just end up sharing a toast with the table next to you. Definitely going back soon. Yangmani hit the mark for what Korean BBQ should feel like. Gunbae! read more

Younggggg moneyyyyy! Parking lot on site, next to boba bear so you can hookah after to digest lol. Honestly the quality here is 10/10. From the banchans, meat, dwenjang/ssamjang, surprise kirimochi (shout out to our server who brought us honey to dip our grilled mochi in!), the slushie machine. Easily one of my top choices for kbbq. The service was really great too. I lowkey will stop going to spots with shitty service no matter how good the restaurant is, it really can be a game changer. Just go here. You won't regret it! read more

The service started off well once we ordered; all the side dishes came out promptly. Unfortunately, that's when things went downhill. I noticed a fly/bug in one of the dishes and pointed it out to our server. Instead of handling it professionally, he responded in a patronizing tone, repeating "Where?! Where?!" very rudely. Once he finally saw it, all he did was remove the dish. He gave no apology, no replacement, or anything to remediate. After that, the experience felt uncomfortable. The service was mediocre at best. We tried to be mindful by asking for everything we needed at once since they seemed understaffed and busy, but it didn't help much. Another incident occurred when they accidentally brought us an extra tofu soup we hadn't ordered. We politely mentioned it, but instead of just fixing the mistake, we could hear the server loudly yelling at the runner from across the restaurant. It was extremely unprofessional and embarrassing especially since we only returned it because we were confused about why it was brought to our table in the first place. As for the food, the meat quality was just okay. The side dishes were tasty, but after spotting the fly, we all felt a bit uneasy about eating the rest. Overall, the experience left a bad impression. Maybe it was an off day, but between the bug incident, lack of apology, and unprofessional service, I wouldn't come back. There's $4 parking in the back for dinner and tables for 6, but was not allowed to sit on the 6th seat. read more

Finally. Went back after several months. Was a big fan of the other location on 8th but when it first moved, the food was way different and banchan was poorly stocked. Recently tried them again and it was as good if not better than its original location. I do like the bigger space and atmosphere felt more welcoming and festive. Some same servers have stayed through the years and we drink with them like old times. Good to be back. read more

Yangmani - Food - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

So fire!!!!! I think every trip to SoCal we're gonna try to make sure we go to KBBQ because they on average have more solid spots down here, and Yangmani is proof! We got that one meal for two, maybe the chef combo or sumn, n it was filling and delicious. The banchan here was sumn else - some type of green onion kimchi n that was fire, they had some pickled onions x radish, they had a cucumber kinda salad, refreshing as always. The quail eggs were good too, my girlfriend loves those - basically the banchan covered all the bases !! One thing also is that they already had rice paper already - didn't even need to ask, only for more ofc. We ordered the cold noodles n it was pretty good - I was basically initially looking for japchae, n maybe I went into it with such a fixed mindset, but luckily the server pointed out to add the kinda mustard sauce n vinegar to the dish and it was pretty good, and something I'm gonna wanna try in the future at other restaurants. Also, the place didn't have a lot of people!! Given the fact is was 3PMish on a Saturday, it was slow, and service was quick and friendly, 10s across the board. Loved it, Yangmani is goated read more

I normally take bunch of pics whenever I try new restaurant but completely forgot to as I arrived few min after my party. This actually isn't a new new new restaurant since it moved from Olympic and Hoover-ish area. They said they moved about a year ago. I have not been to any KBBQ restaurants that serve so many side dishes aka bahn-chan! Meet quality wasn't the best but that's every kbbq in ktown. But their unlimited bahnchan was to die for. They could actually do business just serving their bahnchan. I'd definitely come back here w my mom one of these days. Not too much smoke and fairly clean feel. Good place to bring guests especially older folks. I rarely want to go out to eat a kbbq but this place, I will definitely come back for their good side dishes! read more

It was okay overall, but I'm not sure I would go again--the taste didn't feel the same as before. Unfortunately, there was a small fly in the basic salad. The server replaced it right away and took good care of me, which I really appreciated. However, it did affect my appetite, and I couldn't fully enjoy the rest of the meal. read more

Went here for a friend's birthday. This place seems to be our go to restaurant for special occasions because its so delicious. This place has never disappointed. Unlike some other kbbq places, the staff here cooks the meat for you! This already deserves a 5 stars for that kind of service. I do like this new location better than the last since it's much bigger. I highly recommend this place if you don't already know its the best kbbq in LA. read more

Overall 3.5/5 Order: Chef's Cut Combo $129 for 2 people Meat Quality 4/5: The dry aged ribeye had a great flavor and I liked the marinade on the mega galbi. Meat was a little tougher at times though (they did warn us if the ribeye sits too long it gets chewy). Banchan/Sides 4/5: Some were really good, some I could live without but I liked the wide variety. Favorites were the marinated quail egg, braised beef, and marinated kkaenip (perilla). Service (3/5): Busy on a Wednesday night. They do cook your meat for you but the execution was just okay (sometimes too rare or lacked a good sear). We had to ask for banchan refills multiple times. I did appreciate the big table. Value (2.5/5): You kind of get what you pay for but I don't think it was a lot of food especially when they aren't refilling banchan in a timely manner. Serving size is ok for two light to moderate eaters. Parking in valet lot is $3 cash or $5 venmo. read more

Yangmani is such an awesome and authentic KBBQ joint. Valet parking available for $3-4. I recommend arriving early ~5pm to avoid wait time and a crazy parking line. The restaurant doesn't have much of an ambiance, just your standard KBBQ joint in Ktown. We did not go with a combo bc I don't eat pork or intestines. My gfs and I just ordered a la carte (ribeye, boneless short rib, and brisket). Wow, the quality is superb compared to all other places. The ribeye and boneless short rib were absolutely delicious on its own with or without the dipping sauce. Great texture and literally melted in my mouth without any gamey aftertaste. Servers did a great job cooking. Only complaint is that I wasn't able to take an entirely untouched soybean paste soup to go. What a waste :( read more

Food: the meat was definitely high quality and super tender. We got the Chef's cut plus pork belly and every meat was super good. The side dishes were unique and different from all the kbbq places I've been. There's no kimchi banchan which I was surprised about since it's a Korean restaurant. We finished our meats and were ready for the check but they said we still have a soy bean soup and scorched rice in barley tea coming out. I wish they came out while we were eating the meats. Service: solid but I wish they explained the side dishes to first time visitors. I was quite unfamiliar with most of them and was confused how to eat some of them. I think my go-to kbbq spot would still be Baekjong mostly because of the side dishes and portion but I would say the meat here is a bit better. read more

I highly recommend Yangmani for Korean BBQ! The grilled meat is absolutely delicious, and the service is really great. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Everything was delicious, top quality meat that can't be beat. Prices were great too. They don't try to kill you with the add-ons.

This place was SO, SO good. Recommended by my Korean co-worker, and it was superb. A little more traditional in their Kbbq, so their side dishes are a bit more pungent (in a good way, fermented and flavorful) then the typical K-bbq spots I've been to before. Not all you can eat - you can order a la carte or a set ($99 for 2 people, you MAY be able to get away with 3 if you're not all that hungry). We ordered two Set C for 4 people. (+) brisket was the best, imo (+) they cook the meat for you (+) such tasty sides!! (-) It's a bit of a smaller shop - maybe about 15 tables (fitting 4-6), so you might have to wait if you're going on a weekend night. HIGHLY recommend! Think this place and Kanghodang are my favorites in LA Ktown. They also had this promo where you got a free beer if you posted on your instagram (April 2024), which was kinda cool? read more

My favorite KBBQ place in LA. The banchan is excellent and the Large Intestine is a must have. The service is always attentive. Valet parking is available on site. The new space is much better than their old spot. read more

Everything tastes good, they cook for you, may be easy to miss exterior, valet is behind it in a lot that might feel a little sketch but no worries. $3 too, very cheap valet. Table can be a little crowded but no big deal, banchan is superior here, one of the pictures has something special that I thought was quite nice - favorite for a friend of mine. I don't quite know all the meats that were ordered. The lettuce is something separate you have to order, no rice paper as that's not authentic LOL The spicy green onions are great. The palette cleanser clear soup hits the spot in between bites. I thought it was notable a lot of meats we ordered were sweat and tasted very good. Rowland Heights has a much higher end interior, less LA grungy, but the side dishes here are definitely better. Curious if they will make them the same. read more

We initially went to their original location, but since it hadn't been updated on Apple Maps, we discovered that they had moved instead. The additional 15-minute drive was absolutely worth it! I was craving KBBQ, specifically their specialty--intestines. We ordered one of the set meals, which included four types of meat, and added a serving of large beef intestine. As with most KBBQ restaurants, they handle the cooking for you, which is always a nice touch. Every cut of meat was flavorful and practically melted in your mouth, with the intestine being a standout. The sides were equally impressive, featuring a mix of classics like rice paper, radish, and salad, along with more traditional offerings such as fermented ground beef in gochujang. One unique dish was a combination of onions and pear which provided a refreshing contrast to the richness of the meats. The new location is significantly larger than the original and offers valet parking (cash only), making it convenient for larger groups. read more

Yangmani is the best. Got the combo 2 and yangbab and it was heaven. How are their banchans so good??!!!

A large yangbab is a must!!! read more

Wow really started off the New Year with such a good kbbq spot, saw my friend post this place on IG and I had to absolutely try and this place definitely did not disappoint and probably my new favorite kbbq place in LA. Food: this place is not an AYCE but a higher end place that has specialty meat like dry aged ribeye. We got the Chang Combo which is meat that is considered more of a delicacy, and wow it was so good most specially because it was paired so nicely with all the Banchan side dishes it came with. Service: Wasn't bad, maybe because we came at a time that it wasn't too busy? They spaced out cooking the meat, which gave us ample time to enjoy each one without rushing read more

Took 5 newbies to this place for an unbelievable kbbq experience. We ordered Combo #4 and a half portion of small intestines. All the ban chan's were spectacular. Service was solid!

I honestly can't believe how rude and unprofessional the staff were. One of the servers had a mask on. When I asked a question about what's on the grill, he mumbled something so quietly I couldn't understand a word. I said, "Sorry?" a couple of times trying to hear him better and he went back at me with a rude in casual, disrespectful Korean "Mochi". I mean what the... The attitude was absolutely disgusting. No basic courtesy, no effort to communicate properly, just pure laziness and condescension. I don't care how the food is -- once the service ruins the experience, nothing else matters. There are plenty of other Korean BBQ spots in LA . read more

Came with a party of four the day after Thanksgiving and there was no wait for dinner. There were still a good amount of people but a couple tables were open. We were seated quickly and the service was very good. The two men that served us were very friendly and genuinely nice and attentive. This was all of our first times trying this restaurant and it did not disappoint! Their brisket and marinated short rib were good and the intestine was flavorful. I really enjoyed trying their different side dishes; they're different from the typical ones (kimchi, fish cake, etc) and were all so good! Only sad part is they didn't have the beef sashimi when we went. There was parking in the back for $3 or you can also park on the street. Overall was very satisfying and definitely going back soon! read more

As far as the taste of food goes. I think it's good. But the price is a bit much. We got the chefs thing that has like 4 different meats. I liked the non-marinated boneless short rib the most from that. I also liked the ribeye. They cook for you here but I feel like sometimes they leave it a little on the grill too long so we just picked it up ourselves, not sure if that was their intention or what, it wasn't clear. I also didn't care too much for their sides. The rice paper was very hard, like stale. I hate that. read more

Honestly my favorite kbbq place in the world!! Great quality meats that stand on their own. Sides were nice too. Great ambiance. Not too crowded and you don't feel super oily at the end so good ventilation. I am obsessed with this place. They cook your meats for you too so no risk of burning! the spicy ddenjanng and ssammjang were all so good to dip in. The portions are pretty big so even if it says the chef cut or the other option is good for 2-3 you can probably feed 4. You can't go wrong here! read more

I was sooo happy with this kbbq rec. It was my first and only kbbq meal in LA and... the hype is real. Kbbq is truly superior out west. I'm craving it now as I'm typing this. We went with Combo 4 and every cut of meat was delicious. The variety of bonchon was amazing and plentiful. We couldn't believe the one with beef stew(?) was part of the deal - the meat was so tender we had to ask for a refill. The meal was so affordable at only $65pp for 2, incl. tax and tip. We came around 8pm on a Monday so there was no wait. Very lowkey ambiance, and definitely didn't expect to see a couple of B/C list celebs eating right next to us! Yangmani gave us the total LA experience that night - loved it. read more

This review is from the new location at 414 S. Western Ave. #E, LA. Food: 4.5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambiance: 5 stars We arrived on Friday night around 6:30 pm after work, and the place was already packed. We had to wait about an hour and were seated at 7:30 pm. For the four of us, we ordered the Variety Combo ($129.95) and the Seasoned Boneless Short Rib ($49.95). The meats from the Variety Combo were all delicious, though I was slightly disappointed with the Beef Mountain Tripe, as it was dry. It had been precooked and left to cook last, which caused it to dry out. The Boneless Short Rib was decent but not the best we've had. The service was excellent from the moment we were seated until we left. Different servers came to cook the meat, and they were all fantastic. It appears the restaurant underwent a full renovation since the previous one, and everything was clean. I recommend sitting near the window area for less smoke and better ventilation. I'm glad that Yangmani is now more convenient to visit, and I'll definitely be returning. read more
