Wow, this might be my favorite bite of the year. I fell in love with literally everything here. My two favorite dishes were the steak and eggs and the cornmeal mochi pancake. I don't usually get scrambled eggs, but this was so velvety and soft, it was heaven sent. the steak was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The pancake was also very pillowy and had an amazing chewy to it. No syrup is needed. Also, didn't leave here without mentioning the hash brown. it was also amazing, get one if you can! Service was phenomenal. The restaurant isn't necessarily the biggest, and a wait is to be expected. But boy, i can't stress enough how good the beer is. read more

Stopped by for brunch after having this place bookmarked for the longest. The wait wasn't too bad, I was able to join the waitlist before leaving the house, cutting my wait time down to 25mins when I arrived. I ordered the Breakfast Plate with the Grass-fed Hanger Steak as protein and a Yang's Set Meal with the Yuzu Miso Salmon. Both were mediocre, considering the price. Understandably, everything is sourced locally, but flavor wise didn't meet my expectations. The Breakfast Plate with Grass-fed Hanger Steak: The steak had a nice chimichurri sauce, but was extremely chewy. Wished everything was also salted a bit more, the entire dish was bland. The Yang's Set Meal with Yuzu Miso Salmon: The fish was seasoned well but for the price, I thought I would've had a slightly bigger piece. The rice was also on the harder side. Overall, I think it was still a good experience trying out this cute spot. Perhaps the dinner options would be better for me personally, will probably be back to give dinner a try. read more

I'll be honest, this place didn't look that amazing from the photos but I'm so glad I gave it a try. It is a fusion restaurant between Asian and American breakfast and brunch, although it felt more Asian Italian fusion. We ordered: Cold crab noodles - it is cold but despite that, it has amazing flavor Dan dan noodles - 10/10 very flavorful. I love the el dente noodles and the peanut sauce was thick and coated the noodles well Pork jowl cha siu - 8/10 the sauce was delicious but a bit on the slaty side so went well with our cold crab noodles. The meat was very very tender and so good, but I just wished that half of it hadn't been fat. Secret potatoes - 10/10 very delicious. Highly recommend this as part of your order. I probably could've ordered a bowl for myself if I was still hungry The servers were very friendly and always made sure we were doing ok. They were helpful in helping us select from the menu and were attentive in taking away our dirty plates. Parking was too hard as there are parking areas behind the building as well as the structure across the street. They had a small outdoor seating area which was perfect as we had our dogs with us while we enjoyed the our meal. read more

We came early for breakfast/brunch. There are only 3 outdoor tables (we brought a dog) so we didn't want to have to wait. All outdoor tables were rotatingly occupied with people with doggy, so much doggy love in dt Alhambra! The staffs were nice and friendly. Immediately offered doggy bowl for my golden & provided plate, bowl, tiny utensil for my toddler. Inside is nice, spacious, have great vibe & decor, and bathroom is clean. I got the set meal with chicken. Everything was tasty. Chimichurri not very strong and provided great flavor overall. My toddler likes simple but tasty flavors. The portion isn't overly big (normal eating size). We shared the mochi pancakes for the table. It's huge, thin, yummy. My toddler loves it. Great finger food for him & taste even better with the house-made whipped cream. Light, airy, and not overly sweet. Blueberry was plump and fresh. The hubby got the breakfast plate with hangar steak. The scrambled is soft scramble. Steak was nicely cooked, that's about the only thing I tried. He devoured everything else without sharing, so I'm guessing it was good. Our niece got the sesame noodles with chicken. It came in a big plate (probably because it's on the shareable menu). She immediately said it was good. So, pretty much you can't go wrong with anything on the menu! read more

Service: We joined the waitlist remotely and was given a 70-110 minute wait estimate. We ran some errands while waiting and I missed the text that our table was almost ready. Once I caught it I called them to let them know I missed the message and that we're still interested in dining. They were extremely accommodating and made sure we had a table when we arrived. The staff were all so welcoming and friendly we had a wonderful experience with the team. I also noticed they explained the ingredients in each dish they brought out which was such an elevated experience. Parking: plenty of parking in the lot behind the store and street parking. Food: we ordered the breakfast plate and the yang's set meal, both incredible options. The pickled veggies were so fresh it was my fav. We also ordered the mochi pancake wish was amazing with the entrees. read more

I came to Yang's Kitchen for brunch and left really impressed with both the food and service. The cold sesame noodles are a must-order, especially if you're dining with a group. The noodles are firm with a great bite, and the mix of veggies adds a lot of texture. The sesame sauce is creamy, nutty, and earthy without being too heavy. The Yang's set menu is a great way to try a little bit of everything. The house pickles were crunchy and tangy, a perfect palate cleanser. The soy egg had a gooey center and was packed with flavor. The hanger steak stood out. It has a slightly coarse texture but is still tender and juicy, and the chimichurri adds a bright, tangy balance that ties everything together. The breakfast plate was also solid--crispy hash browns, nicely runny eggs, and a super tender, juicy chicken thigh. Everything was well-seasoned and balanced, so you can enjoy it as-is without needing to tweak anything. Don't skip dessert. The cornmeal mochi pancake is massive but surprisingly light and thin, with a chewy, slightly grainy texture. The cream, blueberries, and condensed milk pair well, though honestly it doesn't even need the extra sweetness. We also tried the passion fruit vanilla swirl soft serve, which was creamy, rich, and not overly sweet. Service was great and the food came out quickly. There's plenty of parking in nearby lots and behind the restaurant, which is a huge plus. It is on the pricier side, with most dishes ranging from $15-$20, but the quality makes it worth it. read more

Yum! Everything was hearty and good! The chicken was super tender, the sauce on it was good, the eggs were perfection, and the hash brown was crispy! A bit of a wait on a Sunday afternoon but we walked to the farmers market down the street to kill some time. Yummy food just a bit in the pricier end read more

Yang's is such a great place for a fancy lunch or date night! They have free parking and it's shared with the other neighboring businesses. They are a popular place so I do recommend making reservations in advance. Staff were very informative and attentive. I love the ambiance when dining in the evening as they dim the lights and have the led lights on each table. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their dishes. All were flavorful, intentional and plated beautifully. My favorite would be the chicken liver mousse since it's like a mini charcuterie board. I liked the pairing of savory with the sweet apple jam. read more

Have been wanting to try this for a while and finally had the chance to try! Cuisine is asian fusion. I find their fusion definitely more Asian leaning than western flavors, which I enjoyed. Service is great. They check you throughout the night and offer some great recommendations from each section of the menu. Definitely make reservations for dinner. We went on a Friday night and the place was packed. Indoor decor is more on the minimalistic side for sure. They have 3 outdoor tables as well. Dog friendly, definitely a plus. Dungeness crab cold noodle 5/5 - so delicious! I loved the shallot oil base and those crunchy fried shallots give the al dente pasta such a good bite! Smoked pork jowl cha siu 3/5 - a little bit too fatty for my taste. Feels kind of like a bbq rather than cha siu. Interesting but definitely not our favorite. Secret potatoes 10/5 - that chili cumin butter is SO DELICIOUS. Crispy potatoes. We wanted to take the sauce home after we ate the potatoes. Definitely my favorite dish of the night. Dan Dan Campanella 6/5 - really flavorful, not too spicy but the Al dente Campanelle makes the dish taste shine because of the bite of the pasta. 2nd favorite of the night. Vanilla soft serve - 4/5 really light ice cream to finish out the meal but nothing too special. We wanted to try the black sesame cake with the whiskey but they were sold out! Guess we have to come back. Overall great meal, great flavors and wonderful service. Will definitely come back and try the brunch menu in the near future! read more

WHEN: Mon @12pm COLD SESAME NOODLES - $18 + Pastured chicken breast ($14) + Avocado ($2.50) Ferrazzani's organic spaghetti, house sesame sauce, cucumbers, pickled carrots, crushed peanuts, cilantro, scallion, house chili crisp. Such a refreshing and shareable dish. When it doubt, just include all the add-on! Flavors are good, and I'm sure it was good as leftovers too. CORNMEAL MOCHI PANCAKE - $18 Heirloom blue cornmeal, Koda Farms mochiko rice flour, organic whipped cream, seasonal toppings, organic condensed milk. Wow, such a wonderfully unique pancake! While it's thin, it has a subtle texture of the cornmeal and the slight chewiness of the mochi. This is a must order and it's huge. Not too sweet as well (you get a side of condensed milk! I liked that it came with a huge plop of whipped cream and blueberries. BREAKFAST PLATE - $28 Two farm fresh eggs, house made hash browns, seasonal Farmers Market greens, choice of protein: Grass-fed hanger steak, and house made scallion ranch sauce. This plate's price varies depending on your choice of protein. Now you know how fresh your eggs are when they are hecka orange. I had mine scrambled and I like that it's soft. The hash browns were thoroughly enjoyed because of its level of crispiness and cube-like shape. The steak was tender, juicy, and well flavored thanks to the sauce on top. This breakfast plate felt healthy since it comes with a side of salad. This place is busy and clearly popular. I enjoyed everything! read more

This place serves some dope food. The wings are whole and taste just like your classic Cantonese Chinese style fried chicken, but so much cleaner. I wish the hash brown were more spread out so that more surface area touched the griddle. The interior was pretty mushy, but I enjoyed my eggs and sausage patty quite a bit. You can't go wrong with the sesame toast, and did I mention the cornmeal pancake? While it's not worth an $18 price tag, it is dang tasty. Soft, yet cornmeal crunchy, and when you throw some cream and blueberries on that thing, look out! Be prepared to wait as the interior isn't very large, and also note that they put a lot of time and care into your dishes so it'll take a while before food comes out too. We will definitely return! read more

Yang’s Kitchen - Sausage patty, scrambled eggs, sesame toast, hash brown, and greens (one chicken wing on the side) - Asian Fusion Near Me - Alhambra, California

First time visiting, we were surprised to find a fine dining Asian fusion restaurant in Alhambra. They had beautiful, elegant decor & attentive, friendly service. The menu was pricey but the food was delicious, fresh, farm-to-table with sustainable ingredients. They have many gluten free options. We enjoyed everything we ordered: Market Salad, Secret Potatoes, Yang's Fried Chicken Wings, 'Hainan' Fish Rice, Braised Duck Leg. There's limited outdoor & indoor seating so make sure you make reservations. There's free parking in the back, on the street & several parking garages near by. read more

Finally got to try the lunch. It felt a little too healthy but portion size was good. I finished the whole thing. The bread looking this was hashbrowns, which was really crispy. Decided to try the chicken instead of the steak and the chicken was good and juicy, glad it wasnt chicken breast. They also give some sort of ranch foe the salad and if you want ketchup, you ha e to ask them for it. It did seem a little bland but healthy. Egg yolks were orange. Wished there was salt and pepper for it. read more

Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Yang's kitchen! We ordered the steelhead belly tartar, braised duck leg with taro and the Hainan fish rice! All of these dishes tasted amazing. Our personal favorite was the Hainan fish rice; it's a must order. The rice and fish were buttery and flavorful. The ginger scallions sauce added another dimension to it and the pickled cucumbers that came with it were well marinated. The braised duck leg with taro was also pretty good! The taro was interesting, it reminded me of mashed potatoes with gravy. The duck was tender but tasted more like a chicken leg, but also didn't taste gamey either. The steelhead belly fish tartar was delicious! It's honestly such a small appetizer but the steelhead belly was fatty and blended well with the rice cracker. Service was excellent. The servers there were attentive and made sure that we always had our glasses refilled and that we received new plates. The restaurant is on the smaller end, with limited seating so I envision it gets pretty packed during peak dining hours. The restaurant is on the pricier end for a meal but it's a worth a try and is perfect for date night! Would recommend. Will be coming back to try their brunch menu! read more

Came here for brunch on a holiday, and it was so crowded even though it was raining a lot that day! So I'd expect the wait on weekends to be quite long. However, you can check into the waitlist on Yelp but you just need to plan ahead since you might have to wait a while since the restaurant is not too big. The decor is cute though! We ordered the Smoked Fish Dip, Yang's Set Meal with steak, Cold Sesame Noodles, Yang's Fried Chicken Wings, and 2 Cornmeal Mochi Pancakes, for 4 people. The portions are decent. The highlights were definitely the pancakes!! They weren't too sweet and had good texture, but I do remember them being more mochi-like the last time I went which was a few years ago. Overall, the food is tasty, just on the pricier side. Worth trying! read more

My family made a dinner reservation for Valentine's Day; we were very excited to try Yang's as we've heard so much about it! We were sat shortly after we checked in and they accommodated our 4yo with softer tableware. The ambiance of the dining room was so cozy and romantic, with really good music at the perfect volume. Our server was very kind and they recommended 3-4 dishes for the three of us. My fiancé ordered a beer (HPB Timbo Pils). For our meal, we ordered the market salad with the nuts on the side to start, secret potatoes, fried chicken wings, and claypot mussels. We also got a side of pickles. Everything was made and cooked well, but there was something about the level of flavor that was severely lacking. The secret potatoes with chili crisp had great texture, along with the fried chicken wings, but the wings were just crispy and juicy. Even with the accoutrements of salt, pepper, and lemon juice, they were just very well-fried chicken wings. The salad was fine, the avocado, watermelon radish, and greens were crisp but the vinaigrette was barely there. The claypot mussels were also very good, but just didn't have a satisfying flavor. I hate to say that we weren't satisfied, but unfortunately we were just that. Maybe we didn't order the right dishes? We plan to come back soon for brunch, but I would say skip dinner here. read more

We came for brunch on a weekday after hearing good things about this place. Server was friendly and explained the menu thoroughly. The food looked very simple but was surprisingly fresh and tasty. My favourite from the breakfast plate with hanger steak was the hash brown with scallion ranch sauce. The hash brown was very crispy and the sauce was amazing. The eggs tasted fresh and the steak was cooked nicely too. The set meal's mushroom medley was very fragrant and the picked vegetables on the side were great. The restaurant is spacious and clean with nice decor. Though the portions were quite small given the fairly expensive prices, we want to come back to try their dinner menu items because of the high quality. read more

Haven't been back in so long and it did not disappoint. I wasn't really impressed pre-covid days, it was good from what I can recall. However, trying it now and it's new menu was really nice. We got the mochi pancake and loco moco. The mochi pancake came out as one big pancake. Didn't expect that LOL. It was light and so good! The whip cream was a wonderful touch and the apple sauce was great. The loco moco was good as well. The service was good too. Would come back again! P.S. Go on a weekday. It's always packed on the weekends, so we never stopped to try haha. read more

We were able to secure a last minute reservation at Yang's Kitchen for the most recent infatuation/chase promotion. The wait was minimal when we arrived, and the service was warm, friendly, and very attentive. Parking was easy, with both street parking and a lot available behind the restaurant. At first glance, the restaurant gives off a fine dining vibe with its dim, moody lighting- perfect for a date night atmosphere. We were seated outside near the street, so we missed out on some of that ambiance, but it was still pleasant. 1. Pork Jowl Cha Siu- a mix of lean and fatty tender barbequed pork, served with hot mustard sauce on the side. It was good, but not overly unique or extraordinary as an appetizer. Portion size was a bit smaller than expected. 2. 'Hainan' Fish Rice- a creative twist on the classic Hainan chicken rice, but with dry-aged sea bass instead of chicken. The sea bass was fresh and paired nicely with the flavored rice. 3. Steak Frites- hanger steak served with smashed potatoes. The steak wasn't as tender as I'd hoped, but the smashed potatoes were good with their crispy exterior and soft, warm interior. Overall, Yang's Kitchen did a great job at setting the perfect date night vibe, but the fusion food still has room for improvement, especially considering the high price point. read more

Cute little brunch and dinner spot in downtown Alhambra. Gets busy on weekend and closes around 4pm. I would join yelp waitlist if you can. I would get the breakfast plate options. All three were good. My favorite one is the american breakfast plate. Mochi pancakes was delicious as well and a huge portion to share. The drinks are refreshing. Get the mimosa kit. Worth it. Services is hit and miss mostly when busy but overall on point. read more

Came to Yang's Kitchen fully prepared to have my mind blown... and for the most part, it delivered. -1 point overall for not having the pork jowl, which I was genuinely the most excited for. Btw I came here in October!! * Dry Aged Hiramasa (7.5/10) - Absolutely insane texture, like it melted in my mouth. The ginger-scallion sauce was flavorful, but leaned a bit too oily/greasy for my liking, which distracted from the fish. * Cold Crab Noodles (8/10) - Sweet, generous chunks of crab and a really satisfying bite. Again, a touch heavy on the shallot oil, but the crispy shallot garnish added great crunch. Both my partner and I found shell pieces-- at least we know it's real crab? * Grilled Cabbage (6/10) - Unfortunately soaked in oil to the point where it coated your entire mouth and was almost inedible That said, the bagna cauda was soooo good and definitely the saving grace here. * Summer Scallops (10/10) - Easily the standout dish. Beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, and the nutty browned butter complemented the scallops flawlessly. No notes. * Dan Dan Campanelle (7.5/10) - Loved the umami depth from all the mushrooms, and the pasta itself was cooked well. The peanut sauce was very thick and creamy and could've used a bit more dilution for balance. * Hanger Steak (9.5/10) - So tender and flavorful. Fries were ultra crispy, the wine sauce was amazing, and this dish delivered. Overall creative dishes, but the oil-heavy hand showed up a little too often. Still a great spot for a special night out, and I'd happily come bac& especially if the pork jowl ever returns!! read more

Yang's Kitchen? I was expecting an old school Cantonese restaurant serving Beef Chow Fun, Tomato Beef Chow Mien, etc... and I get a modern Asian Fusion hipster vibe place serving Mochi Pancakes, Jook with everything you always wanted in a Jook, Pork Hash Patty masquerading as a sausage, beer available along with juice, ... my world is turned upside down but in a good way... YK is a popular foodie go-to: bright airy ambiance, positive vibes, young vibrant staff, an eclectic Asian fusion menu that has been thoughtfully developed and executed consistently by the kitchen. The menu will always have something interesting for you to dine on. Brunch with my pickleball pal at 10am when they opened...we split: the David's Arroz Caldo, a porridge / Jook with grilled chicken, mushrooms, half soy egg, scallions....just a good warm tasty carb that will warm you up on a cold rainy day. Perfect. Additionally the Breakfast Plate was a good accompaniment as it was an Asian take to a typical Western breakfast. 2 eggs, mochi pancake, pork hashy patty, and a hash brown rectangle. Satisfied! Get there early for brunch as the place will get busy quick. Service is polite and quick. read more

We went in for a brunch menu and it exceeded our expectations! I didn't think much of it as brunch menu can be mid, in my opinion. But we had the smoked salmon hash, smoked fish dip, david's arroz caldo and cold sesame noodles with a bottle of orange wine as they have a happy hour drink menu. Our favorite was surprisngly the smoked fish dip as it retained its smokiness quite well and the toast from bub's grandma (i love that place). All dishes are very healthy, fresh and delicious as they are farm to table, but on a rather pricer side. But I think good, clean food makes it worthwhile. The staff were all very friendly and they also recently made it on the la times 101 best restaurant! read more

Their chicken thigh and hangar steak set meals were delicious!! The meat was tender, juicy, and perfectly flavored, paired well with the side dishes, and portion size felt just right. Left feeling healthy and content. However, took off 1 star for priciness and service. The wait staff were really hard to call over as they mostly stayed at the counter and avoided eye contact. Our waitress, in particular, also made an effort to serve and do everything first for the next table of regulars, even though my party arrived first, so my service ended up being pretty slow. Small seating area inside that was pretty comfortable and some tables outside. There is a free parking lot behind the restaurant and I often do free 4-hr parking at First Street Garage. Went for Monday lunch at 1 pm and was seated without a wait; still had 1-2 empty tables inside. read more

Definitely one of the pricest meals I've had! Ordered Doordash and got my order in less than an hour Got The Yang's Set Meal with Grass-Fed Hanger Steak ($30.80) and it came with multi grain rice, omiso soup, seasonal side, pickled veggies, and an egg. The steak was pretty tender and good but wish it came with more than just a few slices! The omiso soup was too salty and was definitely not enjoyable. The egg was very soft and flavorful so I really enjoyed that. Overall, it was decent but definitely not worth the price so this was 7/10 Strawberry Amazake Smoothie ($8) was good but I wish it was bigger since $8 for 10 oz is quite pricey!

This is an Asian fusion restaurant. The place is quite small. My group had to sit outside on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. This seating area is not the most pleasant or enjoyable. We ordered the following dishes: (1) cold sesame noodles (2) chicken liver mousse (3) set meal with steelhead (4) set meal with Barramundi (5) set meal with chicken The set meals come with soup, half a soy egg, seasonal vegetables and multi-grain rice. All the dishes were delicious but the portions were small. Prices are quite high for the portions they serve. I am giving this place 5 stars for the food; 3 stars for the environment (seating); 3 stars for the price and service. I did enjoy the food very much but feel that it is not a good value for the price. read more

Cute brunch spot on Main St in Alhambra! Decided to eat here with a friend after our workout and we loved the aesthetic of the inside. I ordered a cold brew and my friend ordered the oolong Fresca. The Fresca was so good!! Definitely worth a try. We shared the smoked salmon hash and cold sesame noodles with chicken. Both dishes were really good! I would order both again. They both have very good flavors, the hash was crispy and the noodles a little spicy. The staff are all really nice and the food tasty.

Taiwanese fusion always catches my eye. A cute and cozy brunch spot and there are some unique dishes here. This place was buzzing on Saturday for brunch and every plate coming out of the kitchen looked like a work of art. Unfortunately, the taste was just okay for our group. Everything tastes healthy and clean and we didn't fell too stuffed after so that is a pro. Got the oolong fresca which was Joimo oolong tea, lemongrass, lime, with mint and it was pretty good, definitely a bit steep for $9 though. The portions on some dishes was questionable too like the Yang's set meal with dry-aged steelhead for $33 was not it. It was the smallest piece of fish I've ever seen. The chicken wings were a little bland but they do serve them with a lemon and some salt and pepper so you can season it yourself. If you're looking for healthy brunch this will be your spot but it's not on the affordable side so beware! read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night and made reservations a few days prior. The restaurant is very modern and chic - just like the waiters!

We chose 3 small dishes and 1 entree. The portions are smaller so make sure to order a few entrees if you're extra hungry. Everything was so fresh and delicious! I would 100% return. read more

I resonate with "Yang" so I had to come check out "Yang's Kitchen". I read some great reviews. One item that stood out was the Yang's fried chicken wings so I got an order of it. I wanted to get something else and ended up with some pickled veggies. I placed my order over the phone. The lady I spoke with was pleasant. My order was ready upon arrival. I walked in, grabbed my order, and walked out. They were very busy inside (adequate seating) and outside (limited seating). Chicken wings were very good. Skin was lightly crispy. Meat was moist. Good size wings. I would definitely get the wings again. As for the pickled veggies, they were okay. I felt they had too much vinegar taste. I'll pass on the pickled vinegar next time. If I'm in the Alhambra area again, I would like to return and try some of their other popular dishes. Btw, free parking is available at Mosaic parking structure a few blocks away. read more

I came here for a birthday dinner and left feeling a bit underwhelmed. While the dishes were unique and tasty, the portions were quite small for the price, and not really shareable, which made it difficult to enjoy as a family-style meal. For the cost, I expected servings that felt a bit more substantial. My brother had visited for lunch previously and really enjoyed it, so perhaps the lunch menu offers a better value. I was looking forward to a nice celebratory dinner with my family, but even after ordering a decent variety of dishes, we didn't leave feeling fully satisfied. Overall, the flavors were good, but the portion sizes just didn't match the price point for a dinner experience. The service and ambience is great as well. read more

Overall, the food was really solid! If eating clean is a priority for you, I'd definitely recommend this spot. If not, you can probably find similar tasting options at a lower price. Oolong Fresca (5/5) - really unique and refreshing!! David's Arroz Caldo (5/5) - very filling and warm, but I will die on this hill.. give me the whole egg. why am i getting only half of an egg. you can afford to give me the whole egg Mochi Pancake (5/5) - perfectly sweet Yang's Fried Chicken Wings (4/5) - good portion and not oily at all, the salt mix was a good addition, i just feel like i could probably make these at home There's a free 2-hour parking lot in the back, though it can fill up quickly. The ambiance is modern and cute, but it does get pretty loud inside. It gets very busy on the weekends, but you can just join the waitlist on Yelp!

I don't recommend anyone to order to-go or via UberEats. The portion size is a lot less than what you would get in-store. They even skimped on rice. Also, there wasn't cutlery in the bag...I had to ask for a set once I realized it was missing. Flavor wise, everything was pretty mid. It wasn't bad, but considering how hyped this place is based on other reviews, I have to say I'm quite disappointed. Honestly, their lunch set tastes like Whole Foods. Considering the price of their menu, I wouldn't return again. Feels like a $15 meal at most, not $30. read more

Yang’s Kitchen - Set Meal Side Pastured Chicken Thigh - Asian Fusion Near Me - Alhambra, California

I finally tried this acclaimed restaurant tucked alongside many other eateries on Main St. in Alhambra near City Hall. Yang's offers a very popular brunch menu 5 days a week (no reservations, waitlist on Yelp) and dinner 4 days (reservations on Open Table). We went for dinner, but for both meals the menu is unique Asian fusion. The dining room is light, casual and airy and could easily be mistaken for a fast-casual place, but the menu and service are much more than that, with farm-to-table, locally sourced ingredients and sustainable methods. The dinner menu is divided into cold appetizers, hot appetizers and larger bites/mains, plus a few sides and desserts. The meal is coursed as such; dishes are served family-style. Our cold app choices were the Dungeness crab cold noodle and the chicken liver mousse. The noodles were spaghetti topped with a generous portion of crab, plus some greens, fried shallots and bottarga, with shallot oil instead of sesame. Fresh and clean. The mousse was served with some lovely sourdough sesame grilled toast, house-made jam, pickled veggies and an herb mix. A classic and delish presentation, with the acidic veggies and herbs counterbalancing the super-rich liver mousse. Our hot app choices were the fried chicken wings and the blistered sugar snap peas. We had wanted to order the smoked pork jowl cha siu but they were out at 5pm opening. The wings were lightly fried but not battered, so were lighter and not crispy like traditional fried chicken. They were served with lemon and a salt/pepper blend. Good but unexpected. The snap peas were very fresh and flavourful, served with mushrooms, herbs and fried shallots. Our choices for mains were the "dan dan" campanelle and mapo tofu. The pasta, with a peanut-based sauce, had meaty mushrooms with some house-made chili crisp on the side. I loved the chewy texture of this thick, substantial pasta. The mapo tofu was on the spicy side, even without the chili crisp served alongside, and even though they toned down the spiciness for us wimps. It also had mushrooms, could have had more tofu for the amount of sauce there was. It was served with much needed rice. For dessert we got their well-regarded soft-serve. They swirled together vanilla and a melon sorbet. Delish. Service was informative, attentive and excellent. Overall a lovely unique meal. There are lots of other dinner items I'd like to try, as well as their brunch menu. read more

Such an organic and healthy option for clean and delicious eats! We came with a Yelp waitlist so we didn't have to wait too long, though it was pretty crowded in front. The menu is on the smaller side, which made deciding what to get a lot easier. We ended up ordering family style for seven people, and here's what we tried: Cold Sesame Noodles - Really tasty and super fresh. Great to share between three to four people. (4.5/5) Yang's Fried Chicken Wing - Perfectly crispy and served with the whole wing. Great seasoning and not overly greasy. (4.5/5) Persimmon Kale Salad - I think this was part of a seasonal menu, but it's a definite win. They use dinosaur kale, which I'd never had before, and it was so unique and refreshing. (5/5) Steelhead & Ikura Bowl - A bit small, but the salmon was delicious. Loved the multigrain rice and lettuce mix. Hearty and flavorful, though a bit pricey at $38. (4.5/5) Cornmeal Mochi Pancake - SO good! It reminded me of the Trader Joe's mochi pancake mix but even better. A must-try! (5/5) Service was great and the food felt so clean that I left feeling good about myself. Yes, it's a little on the pricier side, but if you're looking for something healthy for the body it's definitely worth checking out. Expect long waits, so join the Yelp waitlist or be prepared to wait 30 minutes to an hour. Parking: Plenty of structures nearby, so it's easy to find a spot. read more

This is one of those places where you always see a line outside, hear about it from someone, or even see it on social. After officially trying it a few times...I get it. Yang's Kitchen is located on the main street of Alhambra, surrounded by a bunch of other stores and restaurants. I've only come for lunch and haven't yet tried their dinner, so my review will focus on the brunch/lunch portion. Located in such a competitive area and still having a crazy line, really says something. The staff is usually friendly and helpful, doing their best to seat you as soon as possible. The restaurant itself is pretty small but they try their best to fit everyone in for sure. Food-wise, they combine Asian flavors with some Western twists, offering options for meat-eaters, vegetarians, and even gluten-free options to accommodate a variety of customers! My favorite part of their menu is the simplicity and thoughtful combination of their food choices in one plate. You get full but still feel good and even somewhat healthy about everything you just ate. Yang's set meal is my personal favorite! it includes a balanced variety of items, which reminds me of a Japanese teishoku. You can pick your main (mushroom is one of my favorites, along with the yuzu miso steelhead). I'm always torn between the three main plates they offer, as the eggs in their breakfast plate look so fluffy, and the market grill plate is perfect when you're craving no carbs. Their famous cornmeal mochi pancake is nothing like I expected. I'm not a huge pancake fan let alone the cornmeal part but WOW just wow, i couldn't stop eating it... The texture and flavor are so well-balanced, it's light and fluffy, and you don't feel guilty devouring a whole pancake... well...maybe just a little. This will be the one place I'll go for brunch if i want something light but yet fulfilling, feel good and happy about what I ate afterward. The only downside would be the wait but at least they have a waitlist you can get on within a certain proximity. I'll definitely be back soon and hopefully try their dinner menu! read more
