Yangban, the celebrated modern Korean restaurant in the Arts District, is closing after three years, as chef-owners John and Katianna Hong seek a new location. They previously worked at prestigious restaurants in Napa Valley before shifting to Los Angeles. Yangban opened in January 2022, initially as a Jewish deli-meets-Korean superette, but evolved into an upscale dining experience. The restaurant received accolades for its transformation and innovative dishes until announcing a temporary closure in December 2024 for remodeling.
"The Hongs are exploring new possibilities, implying the closure of Yangban after three successful years in the Arts District."
"Yangban Society offered a unique blend of Jewish deli and Korean cuisine, quickly becoming a beloved dining destination in Los Angeles."
