Yangban Menu

Yangban, nestled in LA’s Arts District, redefines Korean-American dining with bold, inventive dishes that celebrate tradition and modernity. The menu captivates with standout highlights like the chilled acorn noodles—refreshing yet earthy—paired alongside vibrant banchan that burst with texture and flavor. The Yangban Wings deserve special mention, perfectly crispy and bathed in a sweet soy glaze that rivals classic Korean fried chicken. Unique offerings such as the Congee Pot Pie and Bone-In Heritage Pork Katsu reveal a masterful blend of comfort and sophistication, while lighter plates like the Pear Salad and Kusshi Oysters add refreshing balance. The prix-fixe experience unearths treasures like Grandma Matzo Soup Dumplings and the Braised Short Rib, each plated elegantly and layered with deep, savory complexity. What stands out is the chef’s skill in transforming familiar ingredients into a memorable journey, making Yangban not just a meal, but an immersive celebration of culture and creativity.
