" I had heard amazing things about Yangban and finally got to visit with friends. The restaurant was packed, as expected, with a lively atmosphere that made it hard to not enjoy ourselves. The menu had a great mix of fusion Korean dishes, and we settled on the prix fixe option. The variety and creativity in each plate were impressive. Some flavors really popped, while others were hit or miss. Overall, I’d say a delicious experience but perhaps not for everyone’s palette. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every dish we ordered was a delight! Yangban offers such innovative cuisine, blending Korean ingredients with creative techniques. I shared the tasting menu with my partner, and we both loved the variety of flavors. The portions were generous, leaving us happily stuffed. The staff was attentive yet unobtrusive, allowing us to enjoy our meal without rushing. I appreciated the hip atmosphere, and it made for a romantic setting for our date night. Can’t recommend Yangban enough if you want to try something that’s not your typical Korean fare! " (*Curated Review*)
