Yangban
Overview
Yangban, the genre-defying Korean American culinary 'conversation', which opened in Los Angeles' Arts District, re-opens after a transformative interior overhaul of the space, revealing an evolution of the highly acclaimed restaurant. Now featuring a full-service dining room and updated food and beverage programs, the concept remains at its core a Modern-Korean American restaurant as told through the lens of husband-and-wife chefs Katianna and John Hong. After training through some of the finest Michelin-starred restaurants in the country, their food is influenced by their passion for seasonal California ingredients and executed with techniques refined through their journey as Korean American chefs.
