Yangban

Korean restaurant · Downtown Los Angeles

"Stop by Yangban on a Friday night, and it’ll probably be dark, blasting R&B, and full of people who look like they’re going to be out until last call. In other words, this semi-casual Korean restaurant—hidden in an alleyway just off of S. Santa Fe Ave— is the perfect place to kick off a night out in DTLA. In addition to some of our favorite fried chicken wings in town, Yangban’s inventive menu blends Korean flavors into dishes like bolognese, mole, and duck confit. Start with the myulchi caesar salad and some gochujang tiger prawns, then order a few of the larger entrees that catch your eye. " - brant cox, nikko duren, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
