I've been meaning to write this review for a while because I absolutely love Yangmani! The quality of the meat is outstanding--always juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Our go-to is the garlic galbi, which is an absolute must-try. I've been to many Korean BBQ spots, but this one easily stands out as my favorite. The atmosphere is always lively and fun, especially when I come here with my sister--it's become one of our favorite spots to enjoy a great meal together. The service truly takes the experience to the next level. Eunice was our cook, and she was incredible--everything was prepared perfectly, and she was so warm, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout our visit. We also had the pleasure of meeting Sohee and John, who were both so welcoming and friendly. It's rare to find a place that excels in both food and service like this. Five stars for the amazing food--and honestly, I'd give another five just for the exceptional service. We'll definitely keep coming back!

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

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

Steamed egg

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!

Alex was our server today and made sure we had a great time. He took care of us from start to finish and honestly was my best experience at a bbq spot ever. Thanks Alex we will be back!

Chang Combo
Benson T.

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.

corn cheese

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.

Variety combo with large intestine instead of pork
Chelsea L.

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

Banchan (sides)
Sharlene D.

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.

Side dishes with the order.

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.

Jennifer K.

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!

Jasmine D.

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!

Dinner time
Anny V.

Always a great time and delicious meal here. The meats are great cut and always cook to our liking by the staff - especially Alec & Alex. The side dishes are yummy and always refilled. We enjoyed coming here for lunch and dinner.

Don't bother to try it out. The young host was rude. You either wait for an hour before seated or don't eat here!!!! That was the reaction!

They serve you the meat.

A La carte

Was craving some korean soup on a cold night and decided to try Yuk Dae Jang for the first time and…read moreit did not disappoint! Everything we had tasted so delicious and flavorful, even the side dishes that consisted of kimchi, fish cakes, and some chives. We kept asking for more and the employees were more than happy to keep them coming! For food, we got the bossam, sulungtang, and yukgaejang. The bossam arrived on this grill that kept it warm throughout the meal, which I can appreciate. The sulungtang and yukgaejang were both phenominal and hit the korean comfort food cravings. Get the purple rice!! Not to mention they had deals on alcohol too. I believe $5 for beer and $7 for a soju bottle -- cant beat that in this economy! Definitely will be adding this to my rotation for korean food.

We decided to split both dishes, and the portions ended up being pretty large for the price. We were full and still managed to have leftovers to take home afterward. Overall, the food was filling, seasoned well, and well portioned without being overly expensive. The only downside was that our waters were never refilled during the meal, although it honestly looked like there was only one server working at the time. Despite that, the service was still quick overall, and I'd definitely come back again to try some of the other items on their menu.

This is the best tofu soup spot for me in SGV. If someone has any tofu soup rec, please feel free…read moreto send me the deet. I always get the Galbi or Bulgogi combo with tofu soup. The meat is not too sweet like a lot of other places. It's lightly caramelized, really tender and seasoned just right. My favorite way to eat it is with a spoon of rice, some tofu soup, a little bit of side dish and a piece of meat all in one bite. The flavor is just so good. You get the sweetness from the meat, umami from the soup and everything just goes really well together. I always refill the side dishes at least twice whenever I come here. They taste fresh and doesn't taste overly salty or too sweet like some places. Another thing I like is their combo actually comes with a regular size tofu soup. Most other tofu soup places only give you a much smaller bowl with the combo, so you definitely get more here. The ajummas are always super fast and really nice. I've been coming here for more than 5 years now and they never disappoint me.

Came here with a friend and decided to order two combo meals so we could try a variety of dishes…read more One thing I appreciated right away was the assortment of banchan they bring out, and even better, they're refillable. The beef tofu soup was comforting and flavorful with silky soft tofu, chunks of beef, and an egg you crack in yourself which made it feel extra fresh. The bibimbap was loaded with assorted vegetables and beef, and I liked that you can customize the amount of gochujang. Every bite had a good balance of savory flavors and different textures. Our other combo came with galbi that was cooked really well -- smoky, tender, and slightly sweet. We also got the spicy cold noodles which had a nice chewy texture and the flavor was well balanced. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for Korean comfort food with good portions and variety. The combo meals make it easy to try different items, and I'd come back to explore more of the menu.

The combination of seasoned vegetables, bulgogi, and crunchy rice made every bite satisfying. We also tried the Beef and Vegetable Porridge, which was perfect if you're looking for something warm and nourishing.

The whole chicken was stuffed with sticky rice, and the broth was rich, and incredibly comforting. It's the kind of meal that leaves you feeling warm and refreshed. As a side, we ordered the Galbi, which was tender, well-marinated, and packed with savory flavor.

Everything was so full of flavor and hot when it arrived. The medium size is definitely enough for 2 people maybe even 3-4. We had enough leftovers to last another day or 2. The service was quick when it came to seating and ordering. One thing I didn't like was when it came to paying there was no clarification on if we wanted to half it or pay in full and the server had brought the card reader immediately and placed it in front of me while standing there waiting and watching the tip amount. Don't love when places do that. While the food was good they didn't check on us throughout the meal, which can be fine, however we had to ask for sodas mid meal. While the restaurant was busy it wasn't loud to where it created a difficult time of conversing between groups. I would say the check in service needs to be worked on because there had been a group in front of us that stated their party number and didn't move so we were waiting for a bit just for seating. Otherwise would go here again for the food.
