"This modern Korean American restaurant in Arts District has shifted its style of service and dining room decor a few times, but has settled on something decidedly upscale. The very dark room beckons well-dressed artsy types who won’t flinch with chef Katianna and John Hong’s remastered Korean banchan and other dishes. The galbi-infused dry-aged ribeye could be one of the finest steaks in Los Angeles. Yangban has had quite a journey from casual Jewish-infused deli to its current form, but the results make it one of the best Monday dinners to get in Downtown." - Eater Staff
