    Variety combo
    Gunter W.

    My wife, mother and I wanted to try the popular Yangmani KBBQ restaurant in the Diamond plaza at Rowland Heights. After ordering the Variety Combo, i understand the hype and conclude that this restaurant is a great competitor for the chubby cattle restaurant across the plaza. The variety combo had delicious meat and the staff member cooked for us. The service was very quick and efficient and the restaurant was clean upon entering. There televisions around so we were able to watch some sports while eating. An additional dish we got was the marinated shrimp and they provided 8 large shrimp which I felt was generous for the price and quality. All in all, I'm impressed and I'm looking to try the Chang combo next time!

    Known for their intestines combos so that's of course what we got. They cook it for you which is nice. Intestines can be an acquired taste because of the texture, but we are a fan, but can't have it all the time. Staff was friendly and on a weekday evening, we were able to get a reservation right away. The quality was pretty good, but there was one cut we weren't the biggest fan of. The price is a little high I think too. Banchan was solid, but nothing to stand out. I think next time, we will try other meat varieties to diversify our meal. I also recommend going with more than one other person to try multiple things.

    First time dining at Yangmani and as I pulled in, I was shocked to see Chubby Cattle at the end of the plaza. It's been probably close to 10 years since I've last been here and the plaza is still busy as I remembered it being. Glad my friend made reservations as this it filled up pretty quickly. Let my friends decide on what to order as they've dined here in the past. We ended up with the chef's cut combo which was a nice sample of various cuts. Although they do cook the meat for you, honestly didn't know what cut was what. Don't get me wrong the meat was good, just wished I knew what was what. We did end up ordering another garlic galbi which was awesome as they gave us a garlic butter dipping sauce. Service was a bit slow and often had to do cooking ourselves to prevent the meat from burning. This meal reminded me of an elevated version of Kang Ho Dong Baekjong but with a way better variety of bonchon.

    This is a modern BBQ grill. Loved the way the meat cooked and tasted

    The mi Ute you walk in to the place, the music is pleasant and upbeat. The decoration is modern but not overwhelmed The staff was super friendly They were on top of the meat being grilled, they kept coming around to flip it and cook it. They suggested what meat to use the matcha salt, the sauces, etc All the sides that came with the combo were more than enough for our group of 3. We liked the taste on the meats, sides were super yummy and fresh. We got a shot size slushy at the end, it was very refreshing! We are now fans of this place: smaller place means you get great timely service, good quality and it's not overrated ! Plus you don't leave smelling like smoke.

    Fully intended to eat somewhere else for Mother's Day but the wait was too long so we came across this place. There was no wait but plenty of people dining. Our party of 5 was seated almost right away. If you've ever been to Baekjeong, it's pretty similar. They have sets you can choose from and the quality of the meats are really premium. Someone comes and grills all of your meat for you as well. I really liked the banchan selection too. I would consider it a little on the pricier side but the quality is worth it. I'm glad we came here and I will definitely be back!

    The meat we only takes one bite this time. Smells wrong . Definitely different from before. Told employee but they didn't care at all.

    This used to be one of my favorite restaurant in Rowland Heights. We come here to pay around $100/person to have a chief combo with quality food and service every two weeks. We were happy to pay for those premium and gratitude. But unfortunately, seems things have changed........today I was told they changed the management. And today when I try to file a complaint with someone in charge and I was told the manager was not there. ok..... let me tell you here. Your cooking sequence matters. You don't cook as much meat as possible for your customer at same time because your customer can't eat them all at the same time! Results to some cold meat to eat! If one kind of meat smells wrong today then you shouldn't just have your customer to eat that. You should prepare a cup with lid and straw for kid So they can hold the drink themselves. I told everything to an employee today while eating. But nothing happens. All the answer I got is they are just following order of the manager but guess what.... The manager is not there! I feel sad to lose one of my favorite restaurant here because we are not coming back. Good luck.

    If you're a high-quality meat lover, you need to check out Yangmani. Not all-you-can-eat--this is premium Korean BBQ. As soon as you walk in, you'll see a fridge showcasing their dry-aged meats. Started with some thoughtful banchan (even includes quail egg ), and we added steamed egg. We also loved the sauces--especially the matcha salt, We had the 14-day dry-aged ribeye and the wagyu boneless short rib. Both were top-tier quality. Everything is grilled for you--perfectly done. Also loved their signature mushrooms If you're into marinated meat, definitely go for the boneless short rib. Last but not least, we always finish with bibimbap and tofu soup for the complete Korean BBQ experience. IG: socalhkfoodies

    Steamed egg
    Jamie D.

    Heard about Yangmani through a YouTuber and was feeling splurge-y, so found ourselves here on a Friday evening at about 5:30 pm. Located in the Diamond Plaza, which has a lot of other shops and restaurants, it can be a while to find a parking spot but that's the good thing about eating dinner early. Upon stepping into the restaurant, there was a dry aging fridge on the right showing the various aged stages of their ribeye. Legit! Only two tables or so were occupied at this time. We were to asked to wait while they set up our table. When we were then seated, we found a number of sauces and a variety of banchans laid out for us, ready to enjoy. So remember we felt splurge-ey? And yes, yes we did. We ordered the Chef's Cut Combo ($148), which came with 5 different cuts of beef, including the dry aged ribeye and the mega galbi. The combo also I bodied corn cheese and steamed eye - yum! Service is on point and everything is cooked at the table for you. All you have to do is eat and enjoy. The banchan that was particularly unexpected and delicious was the cilantro salad (sorry cilantro haters!). Overall, absolutely delicious and premium quality. The quality comes with the price tag - after tax and tip, the meal was almost $200 for two people. Pricey but something worth splurging for every now and then. Life is short, enjoy and eat up!

    Chang Combo
    Benson T.

    This place is a certified banger. I got the Chang Combo, which serves organ meats (intestine, stomach), and it blew my expectations out of the water. If a person doesn't eat organ meat and I had to select a spot to have them try it, it'd be here. On top of that, there's a bonkers of an amount of ban chan sides. Finish the meal off with scorched rice soup. What a way to finish. Servers will cook and cut for you so you only have to worry about eating. This place replaced the skewer spot I liked, but I'll welcome this replacement with open arms. Doesn't look too different from the prior skewer set up. Same slightly warm lighting and wood accents on grey brick. Cool vibes. Can't wait to come back.

    Chef's Cut Combo
    Erni N.

    We are in town for BTS concerts and want to experience the best Korean BBQ LA has to offer. We found Yangmani on Yelp and it didn't disappoint. We got the Chef's Cut Combo for our table of 5. It was plenty of food and the quality was excellent! Definitely, will be returning if we are in the area again in the future.

    Banchan (sides)
    Sharlene D.

    I came here after hearing pretty good reviews and Recs from friends. When we walked in the area was clean and the host was friendly. Parking was easy to find on a weekday night. We ended up getting the variety combo for 2 of us. The sides were okay but the one that stood out the most was probably the Mac salad. Everything else wasn't super memorable. The combo also came with steamed egg and cheese corn. The cheese corn wasn't that sweet and lacked flavor. The lack of flavor was continuous with the sauces for the meats too. The first meat we tried was the brisket and honestly I felt like it just tasted like any meat you would get at an AYCE restaurant. The standout of the combo was probably the bulgogi since it was marinated and had some sort of flavor. I think the meats would all be better if the dipping sauce wasn't so bland. It was nice that the server cooked for us, so service was pretty good. I was just not wowed by the meats considering it was $110 for both of us for that combo. With that amount I feel like ayce waygu would've been more worth it.

    Great meat as always, the hot stone rice is delicious, corn cheese and steamed egg are bomb

    Mimi H.

    Really enjoyed our meal at Yangmani! The beef was fresh, tender, and very tasty. The service was excellent--our server was attentive, and I really appreciated having someone help grill the meat for us. The ambiance was lively and comfortable, making it a great place to enjoy Korean BBQ with friends and family. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience!

    Peach slush at the end for a treat!

It's simple and quiet in there, with minimal decor but enough tables and chairs to fit a few different sized groups. Service was average to me, if not a little below that; they serve your food and leave you alone. I don't think the older gentleman came over at all due in our meal except to drop off food, and I had to go up to ask for additional utensils and later, pay for the food. Food (4/5): Honestly, the food was pretty on point. The jook (porridge) came out piping hot and much larger in size than expected, but that explains the higher price point, although not everyone may feel it's justified. I'm used to getting jook from their other Buena Park location to go for sick days, but eating it fresh was so much better. Kids loved it and got several servings. We also got the yukgaejang, which was the perfect amount of spice and a good amount to share if you're not particularly hungry. It had chewy, medium thick vermicelli noodles, came with a bowl of rice and the usual helpings of greens and meat. Restroom was clean, although the soap was strangely watery/watered down. Would we come again? This makes for a tasty and quick meal in the area, so it'd be a decent place to meet up to eat or eat with the fam if you're looking for good Korean comfort food. They also serve a variety of other things like ginseng chicken soup and bibimbap varieties.

It is a hearty, very strongly goat flavored soup with lots of goat meat inside. -It's no spicier than a Shin Ramyun, so no worries about that, but quite flavorful and has a decent amount of leeks and other veggies inside. Definitely goes great with rice. 2) Soondae Jupsi: -Korean pork sausage plate. -This is a very generous amount of Korean blood pork sausage with some offal to the side too. I can sort of eat the blood sausage okay with the vinegar and salt combo, but need rice with it. And I'm not a fan of the offal pieces after. I was treated out, so I can't complain. Not the biggest fans of what was ordered, but I'm sure it's good for those who enjoy these dishes naturally. It also came with banchan and the purple Korean rice (my fav).
