My friends and I caught up over dinner yesterday and there's a good deal on an app for $75 cash back right now if you have a chase card. Iykyk Small mom & pops feel for the store front, easy to miss if you're not looking specifically for here. Restaurant is cute & decorated like a brunch cafe. Service is very nice & ran like an American restaurant. I was wanting to ask for more water though and not being able to catch anyone for a while. The food is pretty good. The hainan fish was intriguing & scallops were tasty. The fusion dishes were unique! The hanger steak had the best cook I've tried and is a must try. We weren't too crazy for the cold crab noodles, maybe it's more of a summer dish. We absolutely loved the desserts here, especially the flan which was incredible. The black sesame could be stronger but still hit the spot. read more

I have been wanting to come here for over two years. So last night, I was very excited to stop by with my Yelp Elite bestie, Mieke. The name Yang's Kitchen evokes a homey casual vibe. The restaurant is not homey. It is Asian American / fusion fine dining. I found the menu hard to understand. There were many ingredients I wasn't familiar with. The servers were patient enough to describe each dish. The menu can be a bit intimating. We decided on the tofu burrata and that was next level. The texture of the tofu tasted like burrata cheese. The red peppers (called Jimmy nardellos) were not spicy but sweet. The plain tofu and the sweet savory peppers went very well together. It was refreshing. We also got the scallops that came with bacon and corn. That was delicious too! The foam added so much elegance to the overall presentation. I just wish the portion could have been a bit bigger. The last dish was the dan dan campanelle. The noodles were cooked perfectly al-dente and had a nice chew. The Chinese dan dan flavor came through and was authentic. Individually, each component worked. Together, the dish felt heavy and rich for me. This was my least favorite dish. The interior is simple. All the servers were attentive and helpful. I only got the name of one server, Jordan. Definitely worth checking it out for its creativity. read more

Great food. Great service. Visited Yang's kitchen for a Sunday brunch right before Super Bowl luckily there's no line. Cold noodle was served almost immediately after ordering. No hangry me as food kept coming. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the drinks but their iced tea is very fragrant and refreshing! Reminded me of Chicha down the street. read more

I've given Yang's kitchen two tries a couple years apart both for lunch and dinner but I can't recommend it unfortunately. It's definitely a gem in Alhambra as there aren't maybe nice restaurants here so it's cute for date night but I rather go to downtown LA with the prices to be honest. They recommend part of two to order 6-7 dishes which is way too much in my opinion. The sashimi and pork jowl are delicious and the Hainan fish rice is good. read more

This place was such a treat! If only the trek out to SGV didn't take so long for us. Great place though to take your friends visiting from out-of-town to show off what LA has to offer. Checked out their brunch. Menu has so many bangers: 1) smoked fish dip - scallions as garnish were a nice touch 2) cornmeal mochi pancake is gigantic with a good chewy texture 3) cold sesame noodles were delicious and I'm someone who usually doesn't like cold noodles 4) fried chicken wings were so crisp and juicy. The salt dip was that toasted five-spice kind 5) Steelhead + Ikura bowl made us into steelhead converts Their menu is also very well-labeled with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. read more

yang's kitchen is a chinese-fusion spot that features local sustainable and organic ingredients in a tapas style. we decided to try and use our chase credit for any featured infatuation restaurant! what i ordered - smoked pork jowl cha siu: 7/10 || this looked so good but unfortunately it was mainly fat and almost no meat which was just too fatty for me. the outer glaze and flavor was tasty though - dungeness crab cold noodle: 8/10 || so refreshing. the bite of the snap peas with the tender crab provided such a light bite that i kept coming back for - steelhead belly tartare: 5/10 || not what i expected when we ordered tartare. the steelhead belly was spread thin on a thin rice cracker of sorts with kosho cream to top. the flavor was lacking and the textures left something to be desired. - grilled dry-aged fish collars: 8.5/10 || amazing grill flavor and they used calamansi to add some citrus and sweetness to the dish that balanced everything. i know this was an appetizer but i wished they had an entree sized portion! - hainan fish rice: 9/10 || never had a fish hainan style but now i need this in my life. the fish was tender, the rice was flavorful, the sauce was gingery and brought everything together so well yang's kitchen is a little pricey given the portion size, but their hainan fish rice, fish collars, and crab noodle are dishes that piqued my interest. some of their other dishes could use some workshopping but it was overall a good dining experience. read more

Yang's Kitchen is a well-known spot known for their elevated and imaginative farm-to-table takes on Chinese cuisine staples. This spot is located right in the heart of the Downtown Alhambra area where street parking will be your best bet. Reservations are highly recommended here as spots do tend to book up fast. Wifey and I stopped by for dinner with a 6:30pm reservation. Inside, they have a homey and modern setup with a good amount of seating and some additional patio seating outside as well. For their menu, they have a nice selection of different appetizers, entrees, and drinks to choose from. We ended up getting a spread consisting of the Chicken Liver Mousse, Yang's Fried Chicken Wings, Pork Jowl Cha Siu, Steak Frites, and the Braised Duck Leg. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience here and everything that we had was delicious! The presentation of the food here is gorgeous and the flavors feel so comforting yet innovative. All of the staff here are very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend booking a reservation and having a nice date night or elevated meal with the family. There is a reason why this spot has over 1,000+ positive reviews! read more

The overall service and ambiance was great. We made a reservation and we were seated on time. I think it's a nice farm to table restaurant. Everything is very light tasty, not too oily or salty which is great. This kinda falls into the fufu food category for me because I wasn't blown away by the food. Everything was just a slight step above okay. Except the mapo tofu, we did not like that and tbf the server also told us it wasn't his favorite. I would go here again but I don't know if I would be the one to suggest it first. We tried just about everything on the menu and we ordered 2 of the certain dishes since there were 7 of us. It roughly came out to bring around $750. If I am factoring price into the rating this would probably go down to 3 stars just because I feel like it wasn't worth $100 per person. That was how much it took to leave satisfied, we didn't have any leftovers. But I just can't bring myself to give it 3 stars so I will give it a 4. Maybe 3.8 is a more realistic rating. read more

I finally got a chance to try @yangskitchenla and catch up with @la_tastybites!! It's such a nice restaurant in the neighborhood. They serve Asian American dishes. The food is creative and tasty. We tried the Meji Tofu "Burrata," which was so refreshing! I was also impressed by the dan dan noodles made with campanelle! I like how intentional the interior design and the tableware are. The service was amazing! They even put my gkuten intolerance in the note that was reflected on the check. Jordan was our server for the night, and he was just exceptional. Free four-hour parking is available close by in the parking structure. read more

Ive been to Yang's Kitchen a few times now, with the latest being for brunch with my family. I would say Yang's Kitchen is unique because it's an aesthetic, healthier, Asian style brunch spot, which I don't think I've been to any other restaurant that is similar. The menu itself is on the smaller end, but everything on it seems unique and the mains in particular allow you to customize your order a lot with a large variety of protein choices. I ended up ordering the breakfast plate with grass fed hangar steak. The breakfast plate itself comes with eggs, hash browns, and a small salad. Overall, I felt like the meal was balanced and on the healthier end, which I really appreciated. I asked for my steak to be cooked on medium rare and they did this perfectly, which a lot of places don't do right, so props to the chef for that. Portions are on the smaller end and I left feeling not fully satisfied though, so I was a little disappointed by that given the price point here. The restaurant itself is super bright and aesthetic! Service was also attentive and friendly. There was a bit of a wait when we came on a Saturday morning, but there is a Yelp waitlist, so be sure to take advantage of that! The store is located on Main St. so there's plenty of parking options nearby. Overall, I'd say that this was a solid meal but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come back. read more

Blown away by my experience at Yang's Kitchen. Came in expecting a decent to good lunch at best. After trying a few of their menu items, I was pleasantly surprised. Their food blew me away. The service was even better. Our server was attentive, engaging, and gave multiple recommendations that were delicious. The inside is cozy and warm with no bright in your face lighting, and it isn't too cramped. read more

A place that I always see packed and got my attention Finally I scored a table and got to try the food It was a weird experience, all the flavors were very familiar and very clean but it didn't spark anything in me that makes me go back, but definitely you need to try it and maybe it's a restaurant that you would love read more

I honestly don't know why this place is so popular--maybe I'm just not the target audience. I've tried Yang's Kitchen a couple of times for brunch and once for dinner, and each time I've walked away unsatisfied. The concept is Asian fusion, which in this case means pricey Asian dishes with creative twists--but with small portions that don't quite justify the cost. On our recent dinner visit, we ordered several dishes. The crab cold noodles were probably my favorite of the night--refreshing and flavorful. The snap peas were tasty too, but the portion was tiny. The pork jowl char siu was way too fatty for me. I know that's the style for char siu, but it's not my personal preference. The fried chicken was honestly disappointing--dry and underwhelming. And the seabass chicken rice was overly fishy, which really threw the balance off. I don't know why, but I just can't, probably wont be coming back again. read more

Wow where has this place been my whole life? Stopped by for lunch with another family (cause they love this place) and it didn't disappoint! Cute Asian restaurant with a modern twist. Cold Sesame Noodles - Light, refreshing, and perfect for a hot day. Yang's Fried Chicken - A surprise hit! Cooked just right, and even the kids couldn't get enough. Smoked Salmon Hash - Absolutely loved this. Beautifully plated and packed with flavor--creme fraiche, smoked salmon belly, trout, salmon roe, and the crispy hash. Chef's kiss. Yang's Set Meal (with Hanger Steak) - Steak was cooked perfectly. The miso and rice on the side were equally delicious. Also, the chili crisp was great! Soy Eggs (a la carte) - Soft-boiled to perfection. Rich, runny yolks, and tons of flavor. Tip: Make sure to get on the Yelp waitlist if you're nearby. I'll be back! read more

Made a reservation, credit card cancellation fee. Service was good, checked in multiple times, cleared plates and gave us clean plates. There was a wine sommelier walking around which was cool. - Market Salad 5/5 This was a big shareable salad. The veggies were perfectly tossed. Slices of stone fruit and avocado. The dressing tasted delicious. - Yang's Fried Chicken Wings 1.7/5 these fried chicken wings were just okay. Almost like it was salted brined first, the skin was leathery. - Cold Crab Noodle 1.8/5 Noodles with a lump of crab meat. Noodles tossed in some sauce. It was okay. - Pork Jowl Cha Sui 3.1/5 The pork was cooked well but I thought the whole dish was on the saltier side, due to the sauce on the bottom. - Scallops 4.1/5 Hokkaido scallops cut into four, mixed in with some creamy sauce, with jalapeños. It looks okay but tasted great! - Hainan Fish Rice 3.8/5 Fish over rice, with ginger scallion sauce on the side. It was basic and what you expect. Lots of rice. Free parking lot in the back... and parking structures around. read more

We wanted to try Yang's Kitchen for a while and we were not disappointed. Excellent food and service. Jordan's wine flight left us wanting more, too. Such excellent choices. We had the Hainan fish, Dan Dan campanella, blistered snap peas, steelhead belly tartare (stand out!), grilled cabbage and dessert. Delicious. We look forward to trying more things off the dinner menu. read more

Asian-American fusion style brunch isn't something I've ever tried, and wow I was blown away! Our server was so sweet and everything I had- from drinks to food- was amazing! Their "farm to table" concept is very much apparent in their high quality ingredients. - Appetizer: crudo with ginger scallion oil. So yummy and savory! Tastes exactly like the sauce you'd have with Hainan chicken. Never thought to pair it with sashimi but it's genius - Breakfast plate: the hangar steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection and melt-in your-mouth tender topped with a fresh chimichurri (and I usually don't like chimichurri!). Scrambled eggs were creamy, not overdone, and well seasoned; and the hash brown was sooooo crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside- like a leveled up fancy McD hash brown. It's served with a house made tartar sauce which complemented very nicely. - Don't be Salty (cocktail): amazing!! It has preserved meyer lemon and sake. Such a unique and refreshing cocktail. Fizzy, slightly salty and tangy, I would order this over a mimosa any day! If you want a cocktail to pair with your brunch this is a must get, trust me! Their ingredients are so simple, but executed perfectly. Can't wait to come back! read more

At first glance, the name made me think this might be a small hole-in-the-wall Chinese or Taiwanese deli, but upon closer look, it turned out to be something quite different. The place was very busy and, thanks to all the social media hype, we ended up waiting quite a while for a table. I loved that they offer both an Asian-style breakfast as well as more traditional breakfast options. My friend and I ordered one of each to share, and both were delicious. Everything was thoughtfully plated and delicately seasoned. It was worth the wait, and I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu. read more

I came here for brunch and waited more than an hour after checking in on the waitlist. After waiting this long, in the end, I thought the food was just okay. Taste wise, nothing was exceptional or really stood out to me that made me think waiting for more than an hour was worth it. I haven't been to many farm to table restaurants so I don't have a lot of experience to go off of. I'm not sure if the flavors are typical and I just don't fit the right demographic to appreciate farm to table. We got one appetizer, the salmon hash, as well as three of the shareables: the mochi pancake, cold noodle salad and the seasonal stone fruit and kale salad. The mochi pancake was just okay. I couldn't taste any hint of mochi flour texture. I liked the freshness of the ingredients used in the noodle salad and the kale salad, and I especially liked the flavor of the dressing used in the latter. The salmon hash wasn't really what I expected - I thought it was going to be a breakfast hash that's cooked in a skillet, but it was some slices of salmon and Kira on top of a thick hash brown. I thought this was pretty unique! I tried one of their oolong teas as well, and it was really good quality. I could really taste the roasted flavors which I like the most about oolong teas. Their dinner menu seems interesting so I see myself coming back to try that; however, I don't see myself eager to come back for their brunch. read more

After long long last, we finally made it here for brunch on a Friday. And our experience here was amazing. We ordered two of the breakfast plates (their eggs are amazing), and we were asking if we could substitute one of the specials (the tortang talong) for eggs...but they couldn't really do that. We must have looked really sad, because after we put in our order (sans tortang), our server, Jesse, plops a tortang on the table, saying it's on the house, and that we couldn't leave without tasting it. And, fam, it is SO SO GOOD. Like, melt in your mouth - I didn't even know egg and eggplant could melt in your mouth like that. Flavors with subtle and nuanced and was just amazing. I've been dreaming about this dish for the last several weeks. We got a breakfast plate with the sausage, and one with tofu. I enjoyed the tofu one better (the sausage was a tad bit salty for my taste, but it was still good). Hashbrowns were perfectly crispy, and the eggs. Oh the eggs. And of course, we had to get a side of the Bubs and Grandma's bread. And to close out the meal, we got the cornmeal mochi pancake, which came with whipped cream and blueberries. I have never had anything with that texture in my life. It's so good (and best eat it all fresh - it doesn't keep very well as leftovers. After the meal, I get up and use the bathroom, and when I get back, a strawberry/vanilla swirl sorbet had appeared on our table. They apparently really wanted to feed us here. And the sorbet was SO GOOD. The vanilla really nicely offset the tartness of the sorbet. Get it. Bustling place - I know that there is often a wait, but we didn't have to wait very long - probably because it was a weekday. There are plenty of free lots around Alhambra within walking distance. For Yang's a good one is the one at Main and 1st/Garfield, south side of Main. read more

Arrived at 10am on Sunday and already 30 min wait! Pro-tip: Use Yelp waitlist ahead of time. The food was very tasty and the portion sizes are on the smaller side for the price but definitely paying for quality. Breakfast platter with soft scramble eggs and hangar steak. The chimichimurri sauce on the steak was delicious. The eggs ended up being too salty and they replaced with an over easy egg and a complimentary dessert. But the egg texture was sooo good. Hopefully I can come back and try it again. Not on their regular menu was a seasonal eggplant omelette. The color is gray from the eggplant but other than that, it was light and tasty. The Elaine's purin was this flan like pudding dessert. It was delicious! Would highly recommend. read more

Mind-blowing, "clean" farm-to-table food -- but be prepared to pay for it. Yang's Kitchen has been trending for a while, and my brother-in-law plus several friends have all recommended it. We finally had a chance to try it for brunch, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Waitlist & Parking This place gets packed fast, so their online waitlist system is a lifesaver. You can see the current wait time, add your name, and then head over when it's closer to your turn. Super convenient and helped us avoid standing around forever. There's also a parking lot behind the restaurant, which made things much easier. Ambiance The ambiance is cute, homey, and cozy. It has that farm-to-table, clean, intentional feel without being pretentious. It's the kind of place where you can tell they care about ingredients and details. What We Ordered Appetizer: Chicken Wings - These look really simple, but don't be fooled. They were juicy, well-seasoned, and full of flavor. A great start to the meal. Mains: Steelhead & Ikura Bowl (husband) - My husband called this a "sleeper hit", and I agree. We noticed not many people seemed to be ordering it, but they should be. It was incredibly delicious, balanced, and so satisfying. Breakfast Plate with Hanger Steak (me) - This is their popular brunch dish, and now I see why. It's everything you want in a breakfast plate: Hanger steak cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. Scrambled eggs that were soft, fluffy, and slightly custardy/creamy in the best way (not dry at all). Hash browns that are a square block, crispy all around--crisped to perfection on the outside and soft inside. Super unique and so good. Yang's is a farm-to-table restaurant, and you can taste that in every bite. The food tasted very "clean" yet rich in flavor--honestly, the best-tasting "clean" food I've ever had. Drinks: Oolong Fresca - Light, refreshing, and very clean tasting. Strawberry Amazake "Smoothie" - Unique, slightly tangy, not too sweet, and also very refreshing. Both drinks felt thoughtfully made and matched the vibe of the food. Price Point Now the honest part: this place is not cheap. Breakfast steak plate: $28 Steelhead & ikura bowl: $38 With drinks and appetizer, you're easily looking at something like $120+ for brunch for two, depending on what you order. Some of our friends have tried Yang's and won't be back often purely because of the price, even though they liked the food. If you can afford it or don't mind spending more for high-quality, farm-to-table dishes, this is an amazing place to be a regular. But for many people, this might be more of a special occasion spot than an everyday brunch choice. Final Thoughts For us, the food was so mind-blowingly good that we're already talking about coming back to try dinner. We've heard from others that dinner might be an even better value for the price, and if the brunch is any indication, we're excited to find out. If you're okay with the price point and love thoughtfully made, clean, flavorful food, Yang's Kitchen is absolutely worth the visit. read more

This place has been on my list to try for a while now and finally got to try it out. I regret waiting this long to come here because everything from the food to the service was amazing.

Came by on a Friday night around 8pm and there was still a bit of a wait. We ended up making a quick reservation on OpenTable (luckily there were some slots left) and got seated within 15 minutes. Highly recommend booking ahead, especially on weekends. We ordered the fried chicken wings, dan dan campanelle, and the Hainan fish rice. The wings were fine, but tasted like something I could easily make at home. The dan dan campanelle, on the other hand, was great -- super flavorful and a really interesting twist on the traditional dish. The Hainan fish rice was also tasty, though definitely on the pricier side. Overall, the menu has some unique offerings and is worth checking out at least once. read more

A treasured restaurant in the SGV since they've opened. My last time here was probably a year or two ago but their quality has never wavered. My most recent time was for brunch and everything was delicious, light, and fresh. I've been preferring lighter foods so I loved that nothing was overly heavy or greasy. Also love being able to experience this type of brunch without having to drive to LA :) read more

From the beautiful , cozy and inviting atmosphere to the excellent service..Yang's Kitchen exceeded my expectations! I was always curious to try their brunch (which I will be back for one day!!), but the dinner experience was amazing. The dishes are all shareable ..we got little starters and mains, Favorites were Dan Dan Campanella, crab noodles and the grilled cabbage. So much flavor, nothing tooo saucy or overbearing, and the dishes were unique and creative. We paired with wine and mocktails - all of which were refreshing, sweet and delightful. Do not skip dessert! The strawberry soft serve was a perfect sweet treat to end the meal. read more

One of the cutest local restaurants we've found in LA area! It's a sustainable organic restaurant with seasonal greens and the cutest decor inside. The servers are all so nice and constantly check in to make sure your meal is perfect! I got their breakfast plate with organic sausage, eggs, hashbrowns and their seasonal greens. The middle is a scallion ranch of sorts and is delicious with the hashbrown! My absolute favorite though?? The red bean milk with cold brew. It was the perfect amount of sweet and balanced where I could taste the cold brew as well as the red bean together! It was an absolutely genius idea and I'll be back again next time I'm in SoCal! read more

I really wanted this restaurant to be great, and I can absolutely see why it's getting hype. The concept is exciting: a modern Taiwanese fusion spot with high-quality ingredients, creative takes on classic dishes, and flavors that show a lot of promise. The space itself is quite small and more café-style than a full-service restaurant, and reservations are required. Even with a reservation, we ended up waiting about 20 minutes past our scheduled time to be seated, which was a bit frustrating. I ordered the Hainan fish rice. The fish itself was cooked perfectly -- crispy skin, tender inside, and well-seasoned with great flavor. Unfortunately, the rice was a major disappointment. It was undercooked, hard, and felt unfinished, which really took away from what could have been an excellent dish. Overall, the food had strong ideas and good flavors, but the execution just wasn't there. By the end of the meal, no one at our table left happy, especially given the price. The bill came out to $185 for three people, and only one person even ordered a single beer. I may come back to give it another try because there's real potential here, but for now, it didn't live up to expectations. read more

Yes, of course I came to Yang's again -- I love it here! We came to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, and as always, it was an amazing experience. I got the breakfast plate, and everything was perfect. The house-made hash browns were a 10/10 -- super crispy and flavorful. I usually skip eggs, but I love theirs. The yolk had that beautiful, rich orange color that just screams quality. I chose the chicken thighs with my plate, which were juicy and packed with flavor, and the fresh salad really balanced everything out. My boyfriend got his usual -- the sesame noodles with avocado and chicken -- and was just as happy with it as always. We both tried the orange wine that was recommended to us, and it was a hit! Light, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the meal. To end the night, we had the sorbet swirl in melon flavor -- our first time trying that one, and wow. I genuinely dream about the sorbet swirl here. It's that good. Yang's never misses. read more

Modern, tasty, unique dinning experience. I had brunch here. It wasn't busy. There was no wait. The menu was unique, listing where all the ingredients were sourced. We got the yellow tail. The flavors complemented each other well, and more Chinese than we typically get from sashimi. It was a small portion. We also got the fried chicken wings which were delicious. Well battered and seasoned. We also got the breakfast plate. It came with two eggs, a cornmeal mochi pamcake, hash, a sausage, and sesame toast. I don't normally like hash but this was delishious. Not too oily. Everything was good, and tasted unique. read more

Tons of accolades for this modern day Asian fusion farm-to-table brunch spot in Downtown Alhambra - ranked #21 in Yelp's 2022 Top Places to Eat in San Gabriel Valley ( https://blog.yelp.com/community/top-places-to-eat-in-san-gabriel-valley/ ), approved by the Infatuation, ranked multiple times in LA Times 101 Best Restaurants (2020 - 2024), ranked #2 Best Brunch Restaurant in LA by TimeOut (March 2025), etc. [Parking]: Tons of free nearby parking structures in Downtown Alhambra. The closest one is located one block away directly across from Alhambra Library on S 1st Street (First Street Parking Facility). [Waitlist]: The brunch spot utilizes the Yelp Waitlist so visitors can join ahead of time. I joined at 10:30 AM and got a notification at 11:15 AM (45-minute wait). Since our party came on Sunday, our party just visited Alhambra Farmers Market (open from 8:30 AM to 1 PM on each Sunday) so it was a good way to kill time. [Atmosphere]: It has a very similar vibe as if you are visiting one of those fancy brunch spots in Santa Monica / West LA. They also have a small section with bar seats for just 5 spots as well as few outdoor tables. Personally I would recommend getting an indoor table. [Menu]: The menu was fairly easy to decipher. Most of their popular dishes are shareable dishes like Cold Sesame Noodles, Cornmeal Mochi Pancake, Roasted Squash & Kale Salad, and Yang's Fried Chicken Wings. They also offer set meals and I have to admit Steelhead & Ikura Bowl looked really appealing. Yes there's also a wine menu here. *** Cold Sesame Noodles (Semolina organic spaghetti, house sesame sauce, organic Persian cucumbers, pickled carrots, crushed peanuts, cilantro, scallion, house chili crisp - $18): It is pretty much Taiwanese cold noodles and I still recall having one of this at 99 Ranch Market in San Gabriel. While it tasted slightly spicy (which was good), I personally think sesame sauce tasted just a tad salty. Cornmeal Mochi Pancake (Grist & Toll cornmeal, Koda Farms mochiko rice flour, organic whipped cream, seasonal toppings - $18): The pancake came with a side of condensed milk. While pancake had a super fluffy texture, I think my pancake was slightly burnt. Pancake itself didn't really need condensed milk as pancake already tasted slightly sweet. A big thumb up on fresh blueberry. Yang's Fried Chicken Wings (Mary's Heirloom chicken wings, lemon, house salt & pepper - $19): Not greasy but wings tasted a bit dry. *** Overall it was a mediocre experience. I just have a higher expectation given how (1) there's always a wait for this restaurant and (2) higher price points. This is one of those nice brunch date spots I would only come for vibe and less focus on food. read more

Yang's has moved beyond traditional Asian small plates. Now they cater the organic, oriental ingredients with a touch of French/Mediterranean culinary technique. The duck confit with taro is quite unique but I wish I've ordered a glass of red wine to go with it. Not too excited about their black sesame cake -- they only make 6 of them each day. The taste was off to me and barely had the black sesame flavor. The texture of the cake was quite dense and sticky. I almost felt that I was having a muffin or canele. But I do like the outside layer of the cake, where they sprinkle with whiskey caramel to diversify its flavors! Recommended dishes: Tofu Carprese - homemade Secret Potatoes - the "secret" sauce is the bomb Pork Jowl Char Siu - excellent flavor with its smokiness Wine pairing tonight: Domaine Gigou, Saint Jacques Vielles Vignes Jasnieres 2000 單一莊園，白詩楠，羅亞爾河谷 read more

Haven't been back to Yang's Kitchen since my last review...and this time I came with hubby for Sunday brunch since we didn't have anything in mind and wanted to be able to walk over to Main St. instead of drive somewhere. I think hubby & I both have the impression that while Yang's Kitchen's food and dishes are good, it is a bit pricey and can add up quickly. I get the whole "farm-to-table" & fresh ingredients approach, but the protein portions were a bit small & their breakfast/brunch mains are priced by the protein choice...so yeah, it can seem a bit overpriced for some. Though that doesn't take away from the quality of their ingredients. It's just an observation. Anyway, since I came for dinner last time I have always wanted to try Yang's breakfast & brunch, but never got around to it. We ordered: -Cornmeal Mochi Pancake, which was HUGE and I enjoyed it. Served with condensed milk on the side & blueberries and whipped cream. Not too sweet, and a decent-sized shareable dish. -Yang's Set Meal w/ Dry-Aged Barramundi, comes with pickled veggies (LOVE these), half a soy egg, a small-banchan sized cold yam, miso soup and a bowl of 5 grain rice. The barramundi skin was crispy and topped with chimichurri, which was nice. Paired nicely with the rice and pickled veggies. Miso soup wasn't overly salty. (I didn't take a picture because I forgot, was too hungry...whoopsie, lol!) -Hubby ordered the Breakfast Plate w/ Hangar Steak which was also topped with some chimichurri and comes with two eggs, their house made hash brown (unique & good! Lots of crispy edges), and salad. Your choice on how you want your eggs & steak cooked. I think hubby wished the steak portion was a little bigger...but everything tasted good. Their Diet Coke was in a small 8oz glass bottle, which I thought was so cute. They also have a decent selection of drinks like wines, coffee, teas, fresh OJ, etc. Parking is available nearby at lots on First Street & walk over. 2 unisex restrooms available in the back, the one I used was clean. Restaurant has a clean and simple aesthetic. They have Yelp Waitlist available so you can join the waitlist before arriving and check in with the host when you get there, which we utilized on our walk over from home :) read more

There is a reason there's always a wait at this spot. The food is so good, been multiple times for breakfast. Service is nice , restaurant is always clean. The items can be a little pricey but it's worth it ! the eggs & mochi pancake is amazing !! I did notice they recently removed the courtesy sourdough bread from their breakfast plate, now if you want it , you have to add it. read more

I finally managed to beat the lines and eat at Yang's kitchen and, wow, it was worth the wait and the hype! The food was so simple yet so flavorful and delicious. The cold noodles were the perfect dish after a hot day walking around at the farmers market. I still think about the mushrooms and the fluffy scrambled noodles on the breakfast plate. The service was excellent too. I can't wait to come back to try their other dishes. I highly recommend! read more

Booked a reservation on a Friday night for a party of 3 because it was under a promotion with infatuation/chase and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant has Bestia vibes, promotes family style sharing. Food and service was top tier, but on the higher end of pricing. Presentation and ambience, lovely. Extensive wine list. I was surprised to see that the place was fully packed (almost the entire night). They have a few tables outside but would recommend sitting inside. Everything we got: Chicken Liver Mousse ($18 - 8/10) - served with sesame toast. Pretty good, unique, acquired taste? Cold Crab Noodles ($29 - 9/10) - cold noodles served with crab, has fried shallots which complimented the dish very well. Pork Jowl Cha Siu ($20 - 9/10) - served with Chinese hot mustard. This was actually really good, but I am biased because I love pork jowl. Secret Potatoes ($15 - 10/10) - served with chili crunch, had the mala numbing spice. Very good if you're somewhat into schezuan. Not incredibly overpowering, just perfect. Grilled Dry Aged Fish Collars ($21 - 9/10) - I love fish collar. Tender, flavorful, comes with two pieces. Dan Dan campanelle ($24 - 5/10) - the texture of the noodles were great, but I am not the biggest fan of peanut sauce. It's essentially peanut sauced noodles. Steak Frites ($49 - 9/10) - steak was cooked perfectly, and the sauce complimented it very well. Served with fries, which were delicious, almost the exact same style as mcd. For dessert, we opted for the black sesame cake ($12 - 10/10), it was veeery good. Not too strong black sesame, served with a cream. Delicious. We also opted for a 1L bottle of Riesling, was great. Overall, the food was excellent. It was on the pricier side (was over $300 after tip), but if you took money out of the equation, everything was delicious. The one negative we encountered was that a lot of dishes were limited in supply. They ran out of the chicken wings, we took the last slice of black sesame cake, and I saw other tables at the end of the night with smashed potatoes instead of fries in their steak frites. Parking can be found in the nearby structure on 1st street. Can get packed though. Would I come back again? Sure, everything was delicious, but I better be prepared to shell out some money if I want to try a lot of dishes. read more

Wow, excellent service and delicious food and drinks. Nice decor, clean and good for dates or small party lunch of dinner. We came twice in one week to try the the brunch and dinner menu for a special occasion. We loved the coffee, veggies, pickles, fish, eggs, tofu. We would opt out of the hash brown next time but it was fun to try once. Will be coming back! read more
