Yang's Kitchen is creating delicious food in the heart of Alhambra and they are doing some unique and interesting spins on Asian cuisine to bring it to a new level! They serve brunch and dinner here with separate menus both with different offerings. I came by for dinner on a weeknight and had a delicious meal here. I do recommend making reservations or joining the waitlist on the app as this spot is normally packed on the weekends. I ordered the Pork Jowl Cha Siu for my appetizer and the Dan Dan Campanelle for my entrée. The pork jowl was so tender and it melted in your mouth and was smoked to perfection. It came with a side of hot mustard that paired well with it and gave off a good kick of spice. The Dan Dan Campanelle was a highlight and was such a unique dish for me. The peanut & sesame sauce was thick and rich and it clung to the pasta well. The sauce was a good blend of sweet & savory and with the chili crisp on top, you got a little bit of spice and numbness. The mushrooms & mustard stems added an extra level of texture and umami on top that made the whole plate a wonderful combination. It is a delicious new take on a traditional dish. I got the black sesame cake for dessert and it was simply wonderful. The cake was moist and not dry and had a great texture with plenty of black sesame flavor. The homemade whipped cream on the side was great alongside every bite and I would happily order it again in a heartbeat. The service here was excellent with the staff being so friendly and helpful with any questions I had. They brought my food out at a good pace and were attentive as they were checking in on tables ensuring everyone was having a good meal. Overall, I had a wonderful meal here and highly recommend stopping by for brunch or dinner and if you want a unique spin on food that you might not have had before. The quality of the ingredients they use and the mission they strive to uphold will give you a great dining experience! An easy 5/5 recommendation! read more

It was my friend's birthday and he loves Asian brunch, so we decided to try this place out. We ordered a ton of dishes: cold sesame noodles, cornmeal mochi pancake, multigrain porridge, smoked salmon hash, milk custard, and Yang's set meal The cold sesame noodles were very solid. I wished the cornmeal mochi pancake was a little chewier like mochi, but it was more like a normal pancake. The multigrain porridge had so many flavors and textures, which was very interesting. They also give a LOT, it's shareable for about 4 people. The smoked salmon hash was very smoky. Yang's set meal was great because it was like eating brunch in Asia with a bunch of different accouterments with your main. We got both the barramundi and the steak and the barramundi was far better. The milk custard topping was a little too sweet for me, but the custard itself was really good. They also gave us a chocolate chip and oatmeal cookie and they were great! We came around 1 and they were already sold out of their tarts, so I'll be back to try that! read more

I had a feeling that maybe the brunch wasn't the best representation of the food here so I decided to give it another shot for dinner. It was ok ~ Unfortunately, Yang's continues to underwhelm. This place, although does source quality ingredients, does not know what to do with them. I'm not going to go one by one because they all really suffer from the same issues. All the dishes felt like they lacked something to bring it all together and were unpolished. Most items were either average or slightly above average. Some were downright disappointing (fish collars [no salt!] and dan dan). I came into the dinner incredibly optimistic and hoping I just had a bad experience the last time I was here, but I was wrong. I don't understand the continued hype here and I would not recommend coming here over other options. read more

We came here a couple of times. Not that great but okay. We got someone from San Francisco and brought them to try this place. What a let down. First off, the background music is so loud that we barely can hear anything. Everyone had to raise their voice. When we talked to the server, the server has to bend own and we all had to cock our ears. What a shame. That is one star off. Secondly, the price is getting out of hand. It is now comparable to the Bay area. But the food there is much better and portion is better than this joint. For example, the Map Po Tofu is a joke, almost all of them just some watery sauce with four or five small pieces of To Fu. At least, the bowl of rice is huge. We complained and they did take it back. The Haninan Fish is also pretty bad. The rice is so oily. Definitely not "healthy" at all. We won't come back anytime soon. read more

Love this place! I've come here a few times now for lunch and it never disappoints! The food is fresh farm to table. Favorites include the chicken mousse liver, salmon hash and steak. I tried their mochi pancake for the first time today and it was delicious! It can get busy on weekends so make sure you get on the Yelp waitlist ahead of time! read more

Reservation is recommended! Came here for dinner, so never tried their brunch but so many clever items to try on the menu. We like sitting next to each other so we requested bar seating. Fresh water, great service, food is super fresh and comes based on what part of the course it is (unless you order something after like we did). Highly recommend the cabbage and the Dan Dan. A lot of other things we wanted to try but would save it for another round. It's a place for sharing, about 3-4 appetizers and 1-3 entrees for a cute little date night. Cozy, innovative place to try. Would definitely come back! read more

We hopped on the Yelp Waitlist and were seated very quickly. Inside is cute, aesthetic, cozy, and kind of tight knit! It was our first time here so we ordered the Breakfast Plate with the chicken and upgrading the hash to the salmon hash, the Marketplace Plate with medium rare steak, and the Chicken Liver Mousse Appetizer. Food took awhile to come out but once it did, our first impressions were that everything was so small! Do not come hungry here at all because we ate everything and was not full. The Breakfast plate was good, but it seemed like what we could make at home? The arugula salad was super salty so someone had a heavy hand and it was hard to finish, and the upgraded salmon hash was yummy! The chicken was tasty, but again, portions were way too small. Eggs were cooked perfectly. The Marketplace Plate came with very small pieces of steak, cooked perfectly, but the plate was filled with just broccoli. There were other veggies added but not so much of a medly. It was just an okay dish, this is what I meal prep for myself at home on a daily. I understand that this place uses ingredients from local sources etc but my dish in particular did not taste any different than me getting broccoli/bok choy at 99 ranch down the street and a bigger piece of steak for the same exact price or less. It was a basic meal and lacked oomph or that restaurant quality feel for me. It was kind of a let down, but it was still finished. Chicken Liver Mousse Appetizer was the star for us. It came with a jam that paired nicely with the toasted bread and the pickles veggies on the side. We wish the dish came with more pickled veggies as we finished that first. Would highly recommend. Overall we both agreed that this place is definitely aesthetic and trendy and they serve alot of wine type food, but for all that it is and the small portions, it breaks the bank heavily. I would come here again if I was invited to, but I wouldnt choose to come back unless they have a rotating menu and put out more dishes that peak interest as I consider myself a foodie so I gotta try everything thats new! I think its good to try once but I don't see this as a every weekend thing, nonetheless I'm very glad we still got to try this place. Our server was very friendly and memorable, very unique restaurant for Alhambra! read more

Finally tried Yang's Kitchen and was not disappointed! They're super popular so waiting times are long, but they offer remote queueing so be sure to join the waitlist before heading over! The staff were so friendly and one made small talk with me after complimenting my shirt. We ordered the smoked salmon hash, chicken wings, cold sesame noodles, and steelhead & ikura bowl. The smoked salmon hash was my favorite dish out of the four, but is quite small for the price we paid. The creme fraiche wasn't overpowering and paired really well with the smoked salmon. The chicken wings were my least favorite simply because it's quite messy and difficult to eat. Flavor is great, but I wish they were flats instead. I was very pleasantly surprised by the cold sesame noodles as I was afraid it'd be too heavy, but the sauce was really light and had a slight sweetness and acidity to it. A very balanced dish overall! The steelhead and ikura bowl was pretty good. I enjoyed the pickled radish which helped cut through the saltiness of the ikura. The fish was perfect cooked, flaky and tender and moist. We all agreed it was missing some sort of sauce. I think a slightly acidic hot sauce would've worked great with this dish. Overall, great place for brunch! It is a bit expensive but the ingredients are super fresh and I love that they work with seasonal produce. I would come back to try their dinner service, and their mochi pancakes. read more

My friend & I had a delicious dinner at Yang's Kitchen recently. We reserved the table on Tuesday to dine at around 7pm on Saturday. We parked at a nearby public lot and walked to the restaurant. The staff were quick, friendly, and super informative about the menu and provided great recommendations. The ambiance and environment of the restaurant are casual and cozy. Their indoor lighting is a bit dim in the evening; watch out for their bright signage, so you don't miss it. We ordered the Dry-Aged Hiramasa, Mapo Tofu, and Dan Dan Campanelle. The Dry-Aged Hiramasa was my fave from the night and it was a fantastic starter; the fish was fresh, smooth, and buttery, and it paired well with the ginger-scallion topping. The Mapo Tofu was flavorful and had the right amount of spice that tingled my mouth. The Dan Dan Campanelle was tasty with very al dente pasta and nutty, umami sauce. As for my drink, I got the Oolong Fresca, which could've used some more tea, but it did have a good balance of sweetness & tartness. As for dessert, we got the Black Sesame Cake with Caramel and Elaine's Purin. The Black Sesame Cake was nice, dense, and paired well with the whipped cream, but I do wish the sesame flavor was stronger. The Purin was creamy and not too sweet even with the syrup, and it was my fave dessert from the night. I definitely want to return to Yang's Kitchen soon, especially to try their brunch menu! read more

Fresh, unique & elegant. I like this place ALOT. I want to go back and get their sea bass dish. Was recommended this place by my omakase chef, and boy was I thankful. I want to try the rest of their menu. You gotta order the following: Chicken Liver Mouse: A Deconstructed high end Banhmi. So good! Breakfast Plate Dry-Aged Barramundi with soft scramble eggs. The soft scramble I don't see in other places & tons of flavor. Loved the fish and the hash was deliciously unique and thick . (Hangar steak is good too) Great place for a date as the place is so bright and pretty. Make sure to use yelp reservation. Parking can be a little tough, but worth it. read more

Tried Yang's Kitchen for breakfast this morning and it did not disappoint! Everything we ate was tasty and fresh, as they source nearly all ingredients from local farms. The atmosphere is cute but small. This is a place for intimate gatherings, as most tables are set for two. Now for the food - the soft scrambled egg was done right and the local sausage patty was flavorful. Our pancake was a thin cornmeal, chewy mochi cake with real maple syrup. I also had a strawberry almond milk smoothie, which was fresh strawberry blended with almond milk- yum! Hash brown was very different - thick, creamy interior and a crispy shell. Very good food! 4.5 stars read more

Their business model is exemplary: sourcing locally, environmentally aware, fair wages... and all while delivering tasty, filling, and creative foods!

Love the modern yet cozy and casual vibes of Yang's Kitchen! The menu is Asian-inspired, featuring locally sourced ingredients and a thoughtful farm-to-table theme. We came for brunch on a rainy day, and waited for a little less than half an hour. We ordered the following dishes: - David's Arroz Caldo (5/5): Filipino style porridge, just like your Lola used to make. I don't have a Lola, but this is how I'd imagine this dish to taste if I had one. Warm, comforting, savory with stick-to-your-ribs-good rice, mixed with tender chicken thigh, fried shallots, soy egg and cilantro, this is a must-order. - Cornmeal Mochi Pancake (4/5): I've eaten mochi in many things before, but this was one of the most unique uses of this ingredient. The pancake was served thin and large, reminiscent of a Dutch baby pancake, with a nice chewy yet airy texture. It was served with a persimmon jam and whipped cream and while tasty, having it placed it directly on top of the pancake made it soggy. - Grass-fed Hanger Steak (4/5): Very tender and juicy! However, the portion was on the small side, but my husband wanted steak and didn't find it necessary to order the entire set meal. - Orange Wine (3/5): I had never tried orange wine before so I was curious, but it just wasn't my favorite. I'm not sure if it just wasn't very popular so it tasted sort of old, making it difficult to enjoy. Service was fine, but it was hard to flag down the waitstaff at times because they were quite busy during Sunday brunch. Overall though, I'd love to return and try what's on their dinner menu, as they do feature some pretty interesting dishes and cocktails. read more

I will definitely be returning to this restaurant. The food tastes high-quality and healthy. I'm a huge fan of Strauss milk, and I finally found a place that serves Strauss soft serve. In my opinion, Strauss is one of the best high-quality dairies out there. I especially love their chocolate milk, and the fact that this restaurant carries it speaks volumes about their commitment to quality ingredients. Salmon and Hash: I'm usually not a fan of hash browns, but these hashbrowns were the best I've ever had--crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. The salmon, dill, crème fraîche, and roe pair beautifully with the hashbrowns for a perfectly balanced bite. Yang's Plate: You leave feeling good--satisfied but not weighed down by fried or greasy foods. The multigrain rice, vegetables, and bold flavors make this dish both healthy and delicious. Mochi Pancake: It's unique and very good. I'm just not a pancake person, so I probably wouldn't order it again, but if you love pancakes, this one is worth trying. It comes with whipped cream, blueberries, and condensed milk. Cold Sesame Noodles: At first glance, it doesn't look like much, but once you dig in, it's a flavor bomb. Served cold, it's especially refreshing on a hot day and comes with plenty of fresh vegetables. The kids loved it. Cold Brew: The coffee is smooth and well-balanced. read more

Before we get started, the picture you see below is worth $24. That's 5 pieces of fish, with some ginger sauce that is COMMONLY added on Hainan chicken rice, but just added on fish. It's also pre-prepped, left in the fridge. If this is what you're looking for, congrats you found the spot. Now, that you've saw the picture, lets share my experience with my family here. Previously, my mom wrote a yelp review, and it got ignored, and we specifically talked about the absolute terrible service that many others agree on. Half a year later, we come back to try again, hoping that it would be better, and we concluded that this will be our final time going. The main problem was that we ordered that fish dish, as it was considered a "special" on the menu, so we would assume that it would be good for a lunch. Go and read the caption under the dish name. If you can't see it online, let's just summarize it, it's Hiramasa from some company, covered with some green onions and the ginger sauce. When we got the dish, we complained to another server, saying that it was their responsibility to tell us what was on the dish, because if they knew, they would let us know that it wouldn't be enough for a lunch, NOT TO MENTION IT WAS $24. My dad did raise his voice, which is important to remember later on. But I stand by it, since we have the right to be angry, if we're getting ripped off. You're ripping us off. Whatever, we got a refund, great. We got our other dishes, and until we got the check, everything was fine. The manager came along, gave us the check and straight up let us know we are not allowed to come back. Didn't even let us explain, and decides that we're in the wrong. We asked why not, and he STATED we attacked the server, and cursed at him. So without any hesitation, we argued. 1. We never attacked, physically attacked, Cursed, let alone even stand up to talk to them. We stayed sat down, we did raise our voices, which sure, caused some concern, but the point is, they lied. I'm so confident that they wouldn't DARE check their cameras to try and argue with me. 2. We called the police, because he wouldn't admit that he just straight up lied saying that. They think we won't do it, but we did. 3. We argued that the dish wasn't worth it, and it was the server's responsibility to let us know that it wouldn't be enough for one person. Unfortunately, we had to be the ones to let him know that he wasn't doing his job right, and sadly enough, we can see that the manager did not train the servants correctly. His only argument back was that my father raised our voice, and even TOLD MY MOM TO GROW UP. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TELLING YOUR ELDERS TO GROW UP. If anything, the manager believes anything someone says and lies to protect that. Genuinely pathetic. We raised out voice because its crazy to just rip of customers like that. For 5 pieces of fish with green onions. 4. So if the server did her job properly, none of this would have happened. He acknowledges this, but doesn't apologize, and even the servers all act like they own the world and don't even apologize. (The girl who took our order never checked on us, so we told another guy server, and he told the manager. Not sure why the girl hasn't been fired yet, but she genuinely looks like she doesn't know how to do her job.) 5. The reason we emphasize the word "attack" is because they are accusing of attacking, rather using the word "impolite" which would have been a better term to use. You're giving us the idea that we are being discriminated as we never had any servers check on us and we felt absolutely no respect as customers. They're looking down on us thinking that we wouldn't understand and thinking they can say that we "attacked" them even though we never even stood or said anything about the guy server. Customer service includes figuring out both sides on what's going on and how to solve this, however, the manager originally shut us down by not letting us speak until we went up to him. He never tries to come and solve the issue, but basically lets us know we aren't welcome back. He doesn't show any qualifications of being a competent manager. They decided to "kindly" let us come back, but to make sure to not cause a scene, and okay, I said I want better service. So train them properly IF we ever decide to come back. We paid, an officer even came to check on us. We told him the whole situation, he went in to check, and we explained that they straight up lied to us. And he said that they wouldn't dare do anything because they have cameras recording the whole thing. The point is, the service is bad, and the manager won't admit the server's fault. Food might be decent, but crazy small portions, and I cannot LET ANYONE GET RIPPED OFF, LET ALONE COME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. read more

Yang’s Kitchen - 5 pieces of fish worth $24. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Alhambra, California

The food here is always a treat! Be sure to get on the yelp waitlist- Yang's kitchen is super packed during the weekend. I got on the waitlist at 11am on a Sunday and was checked in at 12:05pm. This wasn't my first time here, but it's always packed during the weekend so making a reservation beforehand is recommended. Parking: There's free parking at the nearby parking garage (near Gen kbbq on 1st street). We ended up parking on the top floor when we arrived at noon on a Sunday. Still plenty of parking available luckily Service: A bit delayed during the weekend. There were a few servers for the large groups of people in the restaurants and we had to raise our hand at the table and wait a while due to how busy it was. Food: Amazing-ly fresh and delicious! We got the Yang's set meal with hangar steak and the Breakfast plate with a hamburger patty. I was always worried about the small portions based on the pictures, but the food was pretty filling and delicious. The steak was juicy and tender, and the scrambled eggs were incredibly soft and buttery. If I were to order again, I'd go for the breakfast plate with scrambled eggs, hash browns, and hangar steak as I've seen a few tables order that combination. Overall, I can definitely see why Yang's kitchen is so popular. If you are coming for brunch on a weekend, always make sure to waitlist beforehand to avoid the long wait. read more

Quite simply one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles, if not the entire country. Every dish is high quality and extremely tasty. The diverse flavors blend in the mouth to create delicate and rich taste palettes. There seems to be much careful thought put into each dish, and the customer experience reflects that. The food is amongst the best I've ever had. That Steelhead Salmon is stunning! Service and ambience is great. I love that there is a sign inside that lists where all the local foods are sourced. Absolutely highly recommended! read more

Best to reserve table in advance up to 4 people in your group. We had to make a change to ours but didn't wait too long, maybe about 15-20 mins. Service was great. Atmosphete best for a nice dining out or date. Food sauce flavors didn't really fit that much with my palate besides the scallops dish. They were really tender. Fried chicken was good for its portion too. Overall, I would try their other menu items if I come back again. read more

We tried to get dinner here on Thursday and arrived a few minutes after they opened for dinner service. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get seated as we were told they didn't have any availability for us, a party of three (2 adults, 1 toddler), around 5:15pm. Awkwardly, we weren't even given an option to wait for a table inside, but we were offered to sit outside in 100 degree weather. We thought "good for them being so busy that they require a reservation for a Thursday early dinner." Oh well! However when we walked back after eating elsewhere, we saw at least 4 open tables that we would have easily fit at. The restaurant wasn't even half filled. That left us with a really weird feeling! So just beware if you want to go here, you probably need a reservation even when tables are available. read more

Upscale farm to table Asian food with high quality ingredients, this place does get packed early so be prepared! Mochi pancake: great crispy texture on the outside and a nice chewy texture on the inside. A must get! Goes great with jam and accompaniments Set menu with skirt steak: steak is perfectly cooked with a chimaera sauce, comes with the rice miso and some pickles. Salmon ikura bowl: perfectly cooked miso glazed salmon that pairs well with the eggs. Overall very satisfied with my meal here, it is a little pricey, can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients! read more

Had a good experience dining at Yang's Kitchen but it felt relatively expensive compared to other Chinese breakfast restaurants. No complaints about the food however their high priced sodas are also available at Asian supermarkets for much less.

This review is for Yang's at Night, which is a separate menu than the brunch experience. Get a reservation! They are tight on space and you definitely want to make sure you have a table. First off, excellent service. I can always count on Yang's to provide excellent service and it was amped up for the night experience. The food was amazing. The Fried Chicken came out piping hot and was crispy and crunchy. The Hainan Fish Rice was a delicious surprise. Everything from the fish to the chicken fat rice was fantastic and I'll order it every time I'm here. The Pork Jowl was so tender and melted in my mouth. Another staple. Do yourself a favor and come here for a nice night out or a pleasant date night. read more

We're disappointed that the quality of food has been going down recently. For the last 4 times that we've been there, the salads from the breakfast plate were partially spoiled. Then on top of that, I found 2 fish bones from my steelhead. His breakfast plate's hash brown was a paler color and wasn't as crispy as before. We really hope the quality goes back to normal. We really like this spot as our brunch spot and have been coming here for years. read more

Tip: Honestly, make that reservation. It's worth the wait, but really it's much nicer to walk in and sit down within a few minutes. - - - - - - How busy is Yang's Kitchen on a Saturday night? Quite! Being near Main Street of Alhambra, it's not hard to find parking - many nearby structures available. What's hard, though, may be getting a table. I highly recommend making a reservation, because the walk-in wait time was nearly 45 minutes. My friend and I elected to sitting outside with the warm flame lamps. We started off with an their Grilled Cabbage Appetizer and Cold Crab Noodles, moving on to their Hainan Fish Rice as our entree. The Cold Crab Noodles came out first; nothing beats fresh crab meat on top of lightly oiled noodles. There was a fairly generous portion of crab, though mixing it within the noodles or rationing it for even bites wasn't as easy. The noodles were crisp, but perhaps not the best combination with the Grilled Cabbage. The Grilled Cabbage was interesting; excitement over cabbage isn't something I prepared myself for, but the bagna cauda and tang of lemon manifested in such excitement. Our main entree, the Hainan Fish Rice, was perhaps the most impressive for me. Fish is naturally quite fishy; somehow, the chefs managed to neutralize the tasty aroma and taste of fish. Imagine eating Hainan chicken, but instead of chicken texture, it's fish. Crazy! The sauces were amongst the tastiest of those that I've had for Hainan chicken, and the rice was the expected rice for Hainan Chicken. Somewhere along the meal, a server came by to introduce a few of his wines form Jura, France. Now, I'm not one to drink much, but between a flight sampling, I selected the Valentin Morel, a delicious chardonnay. So tasty was it that I didn't realize what price I had to pay until the headache the next morning - oops! After our food and wine were served, and we had our first check-in on dishes, though, we were left quite alone. Paying took nearly 30 minutes, between obtaining the check and then waiting for the receipts to return. read more

On my way to Palm Desert I made a pit stop in Alhambra for brunch at Yang's Kitchen. I'm glad I did. The Mochi pancake is the best pancake I have ever had...by far. I judge chefs on their scrambled eggs. The eggs were a beautiful hue of orange and perfectly cooked. Fluffy and moist with a perfect richness. I chose the sausage for my protein and it was excellent! The table next to me had the steak and I could hear him going yum yum while he was eating it. He told me it was delicious! Miso soup was serious. Tofu and seaweed!! I will definitely be back. Thank you for doing such a great job! read more

What a delight! Brunch here was phenomenal, with a delicious Asian twist. The cornmeal mochi pancakes are a must-order - I never usually order pancakes because they can be overly sugary, but this dish deserves the ultimate Asian compliment of being "not too sweet". The blue cornmeal gives it such an interesting flavor and the rice flour gives it a nice, chewy bite. So good! My friends and I also loved the smoked salmon hash, which came with a generous sprinkle of ikura. Be sure to come early - the restaurant gets busy quickly! read more

Yang's Kitchen is always good for a light brunch that leaves me feeling full but not overly stuffed :) I always opt for the Yang's set with either hanger steak or barramundi as my go to! I love the veggies that it comes with as well as the sweet potato! I appreciate the multi grain rice as well! Also tried the cold noodles, which is refreshing with a small hint of spice! Service was good, with the waiters checking up on you occasionally during the meal. Very lively environment inside the restaurant, and tables are a bit close together. read more

I want to give this place higher, but honestly it's so damn expensive for pretty basic dishes. The ingredients are farmers market fresh yes, but dang we keep paying just about $100 or more for brunch every time. FOR BRUNCH. (In this economy yikes!) Granted adding alcohol is always expensive, but we don't always do so and even then it comes out to that much. Each dish will run you around $20-$40. Non-alcoholic drinks are small and their concoctions are fine, but they also get expensive. I mean if you have the money to drop by all means ok. I've dined here about 3-4 times eating different things and honestly they're a bit inconsistent and their menu is very easy to replicate. After a few bites of the dishes it starts to feel very mediocre. Their popular sesame cold noodles leans towards the peanut butter tasting sesame, not the delicious and aromatic sesame oil side. It's basically peanut butter spaghetti with very pretty julienned veggies. All this makes me want to do is go buy groceries at the farmers market and make 3x the amount of the same meals all tasting better. The ambience is super modern/trendy, the restaurant clean, the presentation of dishes all aesthetically pleasing, and the customer service is very kind and pretty fast. I still don't think it justifies the hefty pricing. As you can tell, I'm still very salty, like my Hiramasa was. read more

Plus, they've got fantastic vegan-friendly choices that cater to every dietary preference. It's truly a menu that brings the whole gang together! And let's not forget the drinks! Each time we visit, we share a refreshing beverage, and the flavor options are always tantalizing! They have a rotating selection of gorgeous juices that not only taste amazing but are also a feast for the eyes. Get those cameras ready--you'll want to capture these beauties! Every single dish we've tried is top-notch. I often leave with an empty plate (or two!) because the food is just that good. Seriously, I can't help but order a second plate when everything is calling my name! Just a heads-up: if you're planning a big group brunch, you might want to rethink it. Yangs has a cozy atmosphere, and large groups can face long wait times--better to come with a crew of four or fewer! Speaking of wait times, definitely use the WAIT LIST! I can't stress this enough. Sign up before you arrive to secure your spot--waits can stretch to 1-2 hours, especially on busy days. Main Street is perfect for leisurely exploring while you wait, so don't rush it! In summary, if you're looking for a laid-back brunch experience that will leave you smiling and satisfied, gather your closest foodie friends and make your way to Yangs. You won't regret it! And while they do dinner too, the brunch vibe is where the magic happens--relaxed, fun, and utterly delicious. Enjoy every moment! read more

Came for a weekday brunch, restaurant had a good amount of people. Been wanting to come for awhile but they are closed a few weekdays... Ordered the Yang breakfast set menu and added a drip coffee and sesame toast. It was a good sized portion and nice quality foods! I loved the bacon, over easy egg, sesame toast, and cornmeal pancakes! The hash brown was my least favorite, kinda mushy inside so the texture wasn't nice and crispy like hashbrowns usually are. Nice minimal modern decor and atmosphere. Highly recommend and will be back! read more

Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 9/10 I'm someone who loves a good healthy+delicious combo and this place was JUST THAT. The food was good and hearty. All of my friends stopped talking while eating because we were enjoying the food LOL. It was good portions. At first it didn't look like a brunch place from the outside, but once we entered it was a cute asian brunch spot! I would come back :) read more

How has it taken me this long to try Yang's Kitchen?! If I lived closer, I'd be here all the time. Visited on a Saturday around 11:30am and there was no wait - a friend came earlier to grab a table but the entire party needs to be present in order to be seated. Upon sitting, we were checked up on to order fairly quickly but needed a few additional minutes to review the menu. Service was great throughout and everyone was extremely friendly and asked how the meal was as it was some of our first time. Instead of ordering one entree per person, we decided to family style different items so we could try a variety of things. Our party of 5 shared the Smoked Fish Dip ($17), Smoked Salmon Hash ($16), Cornmeal Mochi Pancake ($17), Breakfast Plate w/ Hangar Steak ($27), Breakfast Plate w/ Steelhead ($29), and 2 Strawberry-Vanilla Swirl Soft Serve ($9 each). Absolute WOW - Everything was absolutely delicious that I can't even pick a favorite. The only thing I did not enjoy was the salmon roe on the hash since the taste was a little too fishy for me but I am truly impressed by the quality of the food. Yang brings quality fresh ingredients from farm to table and does it beautifully. Well... I know I said I can't pick a favorite but the Strawberry-Vanilla Swirl Soft Serve on the special summer menu right now is 10/10!!! The freshest strawberry soft service I've ever had. I would literally buy pints and pints if they sold it. Yang's Kitchen is located in the heart of Downtown Alhambra. There are two parking structures nearby with free parking or the parking lot right behind (NOT Rick's) also has free 2 hour parking. read more

Situated in the heart of Old Town Alhambra, many restaurants have come and go, but the staples remain strong. You have Boiling Crab and Gen Korean BBQ as anchors flooded with consistent business. Then you have Yang's Kitchen which looks to be a tiny restaurant but always packed. Food: Chicken Wings--They were well fried and flavored. They were very fresh and remained hot for some time. I love the thin/no-batter fried chicken crisp. Hainan fish rice - I liked the fish, rice, and pickles, but I have to be honest about it: I didn't think the flavors meshed. Brocillini - It was in a nutty type sauce. I recall eating this type of sauce on a fish at Water Grill in DTLA. Service: Really good service here. They came to check on us often. The place was very well staffed. Environment: This place is well decorated. I'd expect a restaurant like this in DTLA, Santa Monica and/or Pasadena. It's nice to see a spot like this in the heart of Alhambra. Parking is pretty easy in any of the City operated parking lots. Price: For the ambiance and quality of food, I didn't think it was expensive. Food: 4.5 Service: 5 Environment: 4.5 Price: 4 read more

After reading Yang's Kitchen's honest, heartfelt post on Instagram about how tough the restaurant industry is, but how they're pushing forward with optimism and resilience, I knew I wanted to stop by and show my support. Their words really moved me, and I'm so glad I made it in. I've been for brunch before and loved the food, but this was my first time trying their dinner service. It was an 11/10 experience and I'll definitely be back! Both brunch and dinner are incredible in their own ways. I went on a Thursday, when they offer half off their 20oz ribeye with the purchase of a bottle of wine. My friends and I were having a "boys night" and we ended up ordering quite a lot of food. That being said, I can be a bit particular about food..I tried First Born in Chinatown earlier this week and was only somewhat impressed. But at Yang's Kitchen, I loved every dish. My friends and I ordered the chicken liver mousse, crab cold noodle, "secret" potatoes, pork jowl cha siu, dan dan campanelle, ribeye steak with fries, black sesame cake, and Elaine's purin for dessert. Everything was perfectly paced -- each dish came out at just the right time, which let us relax and enjoy our conversation without feeling rushed. I really appreciated that, especially since some restaurants tend to bring everything out too fast. Beyond the timing, the portions were generous, and every dish had its own unique flavor and thoughtful execution. You could tell how much love and intention went into each recipe. While we loved everything, the standout dishes for me were the secret potatoes, dan dan noodles, and ribeye. I didn't expect potatoes to be a highlight, but they were so good we ended up ordering a second round. They were super crispy and wispy, with the perfect chili oil and garlic aioli pairing. The dan dan noodles had a pasta-like texture that gave the dish a fun twist and the ribeye came in a generous portion with fries and a mushroom sauce I'm still thinking about. For drinks, we initially ordered a chilled red that ended up being sold out. Jordan came over, kindly apologized (which he totally didn't need to), and recommended a similar bottle -- it ended up being so good. As someone who enjoys wine but doesn't know much about it, I appreciated the thought and conversation around the pairing. And finally, the service was amazing. Eri was our server and she was incredibly warm, attentive, and helpful. She walked us through the entire menu, gave thoughtful pairing recommendations (clearly effective, just look at how much we ordered lol), and checked in often without being overbearing. She felt like part of our dinner, in the best way. Thank you for the amazing hospitality -- I'm already looking forward to coming back with more friends! read more
