When we opened Yangban in the heart of the Arts District, it was never just about a restaurant — it was a reflection of our heritage and our journey. Yangban gave us the space to share a new narrative of Korean American identity, and we’re deeply grateful to everyone who came through with curiosity and open hearts. Our time in this space was filled with meaningful moments, creative growth, and the unwavering support of our community.
While this moment marks a shift, it’s also the beginning of something new. After more than five years in Los Angeles, we’ve had the chance to really live in this city — to explore, connect, and be inspired by the people and places around us. We’ve also had the opportunity to step away, to travel, and to reflect on how we want to grow creatively.
We’re in the midst of exploring new possibilities — fresh ideas, new spaces, and thoughtful ways to continue sharing our food and stories.
Stay tuned - we can’t wait to share with you what’s next. Thank you for being part of our journey!
With gratitude,
Katianna & John Hong
