My party of 4 had a reservation on a Wednesday evening at 6:00PM. Two of us fell extremely ill on Tuesday morning and knew we should cancel our dinner reservation for the following day. I got a text Tuesday morning saying if I need to CANCEL my reservation to CALL the restaurant to cancel the reservation (see screenshot attached). I CALLED Yangban on Tuesday and no one answered the phone and there is no message system. Turns out they are closed on Tuesdays. After calling all morning and day Wednesday, they answered just before 5PM. I spoke to the chef Katianna and I explained the situation and they insisted on charging a $25 per person fee. She kept saying I needed to cancel via the app. But when I went to the reservation on the app on OpenTable and via email and text the ONLY option it gave me was to CALL to cancel but you are closed on Tuesdays and therefore cannot take my call to cancel my reservation?! Such a scam!!!!The chef is extremely rude and she hung up on me mid conversation. I will absolutely never come here ever again and I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone.

The food wasn't that good for the price they charge. You pay $36 for three chicken wings. Everything is pretty much mediocre. You pay a premium price for the anesthetic. Everything looks real cute in pictures but flavor is lacking in Everything. If you are a foodie, this is not the place for you.

Everything about this restaurant was excellent - the service, the space and most especially the food...incredible flavors, well balanced and incredible presentation...can't wait to go again!
If they only have reservations on the patio, don't risk it. They put us at a patio table with no heater when it was 50 degrees. Every other patio table had a heater. We ask them to bring us a heater. They told us they decided to prioritize a walk in table over us and gave them the last heater. Does that make sense to you?

It was a bit weird that they made us wait until they “ checked in” over a dozen people before they seated anyone... but the food was amazing and we soon forgot our initial frustration.

Our second time dining here, this time we brought friends. It was perfect and food, service was awesome. However I was a bit disappointed by the lobster pot pie.... It was not what I was expecting, lobster was cold and just didn't taste right. Other than that, great place to fine
Yangban is the place to go on any night of the week when you're searching for a chill vibe in a very modern and contemporary space. The highlight of the menu, in my opinion, is the blue crab tostada, which highlights the light and fresh flavors of Korean cuisine while incorporating the texture of the Mexican specialty. Come here on a date night, dinner with friends, and even with the parents. Great for any occasion!
Atmosphere was very nice. Helpful waiters in ordering signature drinks and dishes. It's a Asian twist on both the husband and wife's upbringings, Husband is Korean, raised Korean, wife is also Korean, but adopted by a white Jewish family. Amazing flair and style of tapa plates. It's quite pricey, so be prepared to spend some money. Had the honor to meet both of them in their environment, the kitchen. Good people who love what they do to make tasty food.It's location is in the older part of downtown that has had some clean up done to make room for upcoming business and restaurants.Parking: Parking on the street is pretty hard to find. We valet parked. It's $10.
Delicious food. Cool space. Dining concept is very fun and unique, the banchan served with heavier dishes is fun. The end of our meal got a little rushed when our 2nd to last dish came out before we had finished the 3rd to last. We asked that serve if they could slow it down. Then, the final dish came out just a few minutes later. Later, a manager came over to apologize for the rushed pace at the end of the meal and comped one of our dishes. Overall great experience. Everything was delicious

Kat and John keep elevating the game. I love the new interior, loved that they had write ups of the artists works in the space, and their staff, as always, continues to be top-notch. As for the food, I cannot articulate how good it is. If you have been dragging your feet... just go. Yangban Society doesn't disappoint on any front.

The food flavor is a bit bland and average. Short ribs were very tender, but a bit too fatty. Wings are ok but you can find similar or better taste Korean style wings elsewhere with lower prices.
Had an amazing meal with their set course menu. A wide variety of dishes will leave you amazed and completely full! The drinks were also terrific. This place has definitely made its mark for us to come back to.
