"One of LA’s best Korean barbecue restaurants, Yangmani, has moved into new digs on Western Avenue in Koreatown, leaving behind its tight space on Olympic Boulevard. The restaurant specializes in gopchang (pig’s intestines) and daechang (marinated beef intestines), alongside a lineup of high quality cuts like rib-eye cap and marinated galbi. The best way to try the house-specialty intestines is in the Chang Combo, which comes with beef intestine, beef mountain tripe, beef large intestine, and beef abomasum. Round out the meal with cold noodles, doenjang jjigae (soybean stew), and Korean-style beef sashimi. Street parking in the area is limited, but Yangmani offers valet. — Rebecca Roland, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang, Mona Holmes

"Established in 2007, Yangmani is a renowned Korean barbecue restaurant in Koreatown, known for its high-quality intestines, banchan, and excellent service. After relocating from its Olympic Boulevard location to Western Avenue in December 2024, the restaurant offers a larger dining space with a modern design. The menu features traditional Korean barbecue cuts, with a focus on dry-aged beef and intestines, while also offering new dishes like beef sashimi." - Wonho Frank Lee
"Enduring Korean barbecue specialist Yangmani treats intestines on the same level as primal cuts, and the crowds every night are evidence of the restaurant’s popularity. The restaurant, which has a second location in Rowland Heights, serves a stellar kimchi fried rice studded with nubs of crisped gopchang." - Cathy Park, Matthew Kang
"One of Koreatown’s most reliable barbecue spots, Yangmani has an expansive outdoor tented area for quality beef, pork, and offal cuts that younger diners tend to prefer in the neighborhood. Yangmani might be the best place if you want to take down bottles of beer and soju, and just have a good time with friends or coworkers." - Matthew Kang, Cathy Park
