Sign spotted on the parking structure on Manhattan Place (back part of the Madang Courtyard whose main entrance is on Western Avenue). Yes, it’s Koreatown which is why it says “Grand Open” and not “Grand Opening.”
Bann Restaurant is scheduled to open at the Madang Courtyard on June 7th, Monday. There will be a Madang-wide party the Friday before at 7 pm.
On the menu: Korean fried chicken and soju cocktails
Address: 621 S Western Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90010

Just noticed this sign today on Serrano Avenue — Drunken Boss under La Defense Restaurant and Karaoke. From what I gather, the Asian fusion restaurant is La Defense, and they’re rebranding the karaoke lounge as Drunken Boss.

Even if you order just one bottle of soju,
you get five different anjoo (small appetizers) free!

It may be a good idea if you had a Korean friend with you, spoke a little Korean, or have some patience should you go… But once the top’s off that soju bottle and you’ve got the mic in hand, nothing else should matter.
Kodoku Coming Soon in what seems to be the former location of Kong Ji Ne Po Cha restaurant at 4451 Beverly Boulevard, Los Angeles 90004.
It’s a “Luxury Fusion Roll House” — Japanese kimbap?
The cross street is Hobart Place, near California Market.
