Fully intended to eat somewhere else for Mother's Day but the wait was too long so we came across this place. There was no wait but plenty of people dining. Our party of 5 was seated almost right away. If you've ever been to Baekjeong, it's pretty similar. They have sets you can choose from and the quality of the meats are really premium. Someone comes and grills all of your meat for you as well. I really liked the banchan selection too. I would consider it a little on the pricier side but the quality is worth it. I'm glad we came here and I will definitely be back!

If you're a high-quality meat lover, you need to check out Yangmani. Not all-you-can-eat--this is premium Korean BBQ. As soon as you walk in, you'll see a fridge showcasing their dry-aged meats. Started with some thoughtful banchan (even includes quail egg ), and we added steamed egg. We also loved the sauces--especially the matcha salt, We had the 14-day dry-aged ribeye and the wagyu boneless short rib. Both were top-tier quality. Everything is grilled for you--perfectly done. Also loved their signature mushrooms If you're into marinated meat, definitely go for the boneless short rib. Last but not least, we always finish with bibimbap and tofu soup for the complete Korean BBQ experience. IG: socalhkfoodies

Heard about Yangmani through a YouTuber and was feeling splurge-y, so found ourselves here on a Friday evening at about 5:30 pm. Located in the Diamond Plaza, which has a lot of other shops and restaurants, it can be a while to find a parking spot but that's the good thing about eating dinner early. Upon stepping into the restaurant, there was a dry aging fridge on the right showing the various aged stages of their ribeye. Legit! Only two tables or so were occupied at this time. We were to asked to wait while they set up our table. When we were then seated, we found a number of sauces and a variety of banchans laid out for us, ready to enjoy. So remember we felt splurge-ey? And yes, yes we did. We ordered the Chef's Cut Combo ($148), which came with 5 different cuts of beef, including the dry aged ribeye and the mega galbi. The combo also I bodied corn cheese and steamed eye - yum! Service is on point and everything is cooked at the table for you. All you have to do is eat and enjoy. The banchan that was particularly unexpected and delicious was the cilantro salad (sorry cilantro haters!). Overall, absolutely delicious and premium quality. The quality comes with the price tag - after tax and tip, the meal was almost $200 for two people. Pricey but something worth splurging for every now and then. Life is short, enjoy and eat up!

We come here almost every week because it is amongst the best Korean food in all of la. Our server Arki is the best of the best; he cooks the meat perfect and always attentive; could not ask for a better server. We will always come back if we continue to receive this type of excellent service, price is reasonable too

This place is a certified banger. I got the Chang Combo, which serves organ meats (intestine, stomach), and it blew my expectations out of the water. If a person doesn't eat organ meat and I had to select a spot to have them try it, it'd be here. On top of that, there's a bonkers of an amount of ban chan sides. Finish the meal off with scorched rice soup. What a way to finish. Servers will cook and cut for you so you only have to worry about eating. This place replaced the skewer spot I liked, but I'll welcome this replacement with open arms. Doesn't look too different from the prior skewer set up. Same slightly warm lighting and wood accents on grey brick. Cool vibes. Can't wait to come back.

I came here after hearing pretty good reviews and Recs from friends. When we walked in the area was clean and the host was friendly. Parking was easy to find on a weekday night. We ended up getting the variety combo for 2 of us. The sides were okay but the one that stood out the most was probably the Mac salad. Everything else wasn't super memorable. The combo also came with steamed egg and cheese corn. The cheese corn wasn't that sweet and lacked flavor. The lack of flavor was continuous with the sauces for the meats too. The first meat we tried was the brisket and honestly I felt like it just tasted like any meat you would get at an AYCE restaurant. The standout of the combo was probably the bulgogi since it was marinated and had some sort of flavor. I think the meats would all be better if the dipping sauce wasn't so bland. It was nice that the server cooked for us, so service was pretty good. I was just not wowed by the meats considering it was $110 for both of us for that combo. With that amount I feel like ayce waygu would've been more worth it.

Recently, I've been on a mission to find the top Korean BBQ spots in Los Angeles, and I kept seeing Yangmani all over TikTok being hyped as one of the best. So I decided to give it a try. To avoid traffic, I waited until things died down and got there around 9 PM on a Saturday. In hindsight, that might've been a mistake. They close at 11, so I figured it would be fine.. but it didn't turn out that way. The staff were friendly and seated us right away, but it definitely felt like they were rushing to close. I ordered the chef's cut combo, which comes with corn cheese, steamed egg, got the spicy cold noodles, soft tofu soup, lettuce wraps, and rice. Right off the bat, I was disappointed to hear they were out of rice paper, which I personally love wrapping meat with. It also felt like service started slipping very quickly.. our server forgot our rice and lettuce wraps. By the time I asked again, the kitchen had already closed. She did manage to get us one bowl of rice, but it still wasn't ideal. As for the food, the meat itself was decent, but it honestly felt like we got whatever was left in the kitchen. The quality and portions weren't what I expected, especially given the hype. The steamed egg was another letdown.. omg it was dry, whereas I'm used to it being soft and fluffy. The banchan selection was pretty mid as well. On top of that, we felt rushed the entire time. Staff were already cleaning nearby tables, and the smell of cleaning spray while eating was pretty unpleasant. Overall, this place felt overhyped to me. Nothing really stood out, and I don't see myself coming back. My boyfriend even said he felt like it wasn't worth the money, which was disappointing. Maybe the experience would've been better if we came earlier.. but honestly, I'm not convinced it would make a huge difference.

As a party of 4, we ordered 2 of the combos and it was enough to leave us stuffed. The quality of the meat is good and the servers cook it to perfection. We also ordered two bottles of sake that paired perfectly with the meal. I would likely come here for a more special occasion and it's more expensive than other kbbq spots but it's definitely worth trying once!

Love this BBQ restaurant. This place has been my go to BBQ place for many years. Came to celebrate and cha-tuk for good luck with my new Cha. ^^

The servers were working together to take care of customers from different tables. (to BBQ meet) but one of the server always came to my table to turn up the flame too high. Lots of the meat were burned.

We had the beef combination and the poor combination. They have a nice assortment of dry aged meats. Very nice interesting flavor. I almost felt like it was a little cheesy from the aging, which was a flavor I never had before. The flavors of the mushroom were also very fresh and meaty. They burn their logo onto a mushroom and they grill in front of you.

Visited Yangmani on a Sunday for dinner with a group of friends and we had an absolute blast! We showed up without a reservation and were able to be seated pretty quickly, but the restaurant started filling up shortly afterwards. We got the variety combo and the chef cut combo and the meats were simply so delicious and high quality- I was dreaming about how good this meal was days afterwards!! Besides their delicious meats, they offer a generous number of banchan which is always a delight. Service was excellent - our server cut and cooked our meats perfectly. At the end of your meal, they offer each person a small pineapple slushie shot, which is a fun way to end the meal. We had such a wonderful time and I'll certainly be recommending Yangmani as one of my favorite KBBQ spots in the LA area!

We got the variety combo which is mostly all beef except for one choice of pork, but we switched it for the large intestine instead. Side dishes are the best here and the meats are delicious. This combo also comes with corn cheese and steamed egg. Server cooks all the food for you to perfection, and they give out a small slushie at the end for dessert. We went around 7:30pm and service was quick. Seated right away
