That would be Korea's Red Mango yogurt, which opens its first U.S. location in Westwood in May. It was in 2003, according to Dan Kim, president of Red Mango's U.S.operations, that the chain first served "all-natural" yogurt in plain and green tea flavors (yuck!). That was followed two years later by Pinkberry's now-famous store in West Hollywood. Kim tells EaterLA that the original Korean Red Mango stores have an Asian-pop design with lots of kiwi green, plastic and acrylic seating, but the U.S. stores are going with "more of a coffee house/lounge/spa environment." Spa? Now that would be new and different. After Westwood will be stores in Culver City and West L.A. (Pico Boulevard).
