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! The prices are a bit on the higher side, but they feel justified given the clean high-quality ingredients. read more

There's a parking garage down the street, but the wait time is very long so be prepared. It's definitely on the expensive side, but the interior is super aesthetic and the servers are really nice. The dishes themselves are simple but incredibly fresh and flavorful. What I ordered: - Strawberry Smoothie (8/10): Really good, but very small for the price, so I probably wouldn't order it again. - Breakfast Plate (9/10): The hash brown is amazing and unique! It's crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. - Yang's Set Meal (9/10): I got the steak and chicken; both were cooked perfectly. The only downside is the portion size is pretty small. read more

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

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

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

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

We absolutely love this restaurant, and I can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review! We've been regulars here for years, and it has become such a special place for our family. The staff are truly amazing always warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. You can tell they enjoy working here!! One thing we especially appreciate as parents is the Yelp waitlist feature. Being able to join the waitlist online makes such a difference when you have a baby or toddler and helps minimize wait time at the restaurant. This is actually our 5-year-old daughter's favorite restaurant too! It's the only place where she'll happily hand out her favorite stickers to the staff That alone says a lot about how special this place is to our family. As for the food, hash is an absolute must-order, super crispy but not too oily! My go-to dish is the hanger steak cooked medium rare, and it is cooked perfectly EVERY time. The meat is tender, juicy, and flavorful. Oh, and their pancakes! I have also noticed my favorite tea was their premium oolong tea is now not on the menu but the regular oolong tea tastes just as fine! read more

We visited Yangs Kitchen on a Friday night to celebrate three birthdays and the experience could not have been better. The service was spectacular and the staff made us feel so well taken care of the entire night. My favorites were definitely the Hainan fish rice and the clay pot mussels. Both were incredibly flavorful and beautifully prepared. For appetizers, we loved the snap peas and the potatoes which were simple but delicious. Parking can be a bit tough on weekends, so we ended up parking at the movie theater and walking over which worked out fine. I would also recommend making a reservation if possible. Yangs Kitchen is one of my go-to spots for a nice meal, whether you are celebrating a special occasion or taking someone out for something memorable. Highly recommend! read more

Yang's Kitchen was amazing! The food was great, it was all fresh, tasted great, and was just what I needed. The service was also amazing; the food came out quickly, the waiters constantly asked if everything was alright and if we needed anything else. Ambiance of the restaurant itself is very homey and feels super welcoming. Would recommend the orange juice, it was fresh and tasted great. 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. I want to go back with a group to try more dishes as the portions of the shareables are pretty big. Maybe I'll try their dinner next time! read more

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

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

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

We made a reservation so that helped us to get seated quickly for dinner. Service was attentive and our water was always replenished timely without being asked. We sat outdoors but didnt need heaters since the weather was nice. We tried a few dishes: smoked fish dip, pork jowl char siu, Hainan fish rice, mapo Tofu and the hangar steak. Everyone loved the fish! The steak was well cooked at medium rare but for $49 for steak and fries, my husband said it tasted good but probably wouldn't spend that much to get that dish there. Mapo Tofu has a hint of spice and is not your typical mapo Tofu. It tasted good and something I'd get if I want a different flavor for my mapo Tofu. Pork jowl char siu was also cooked well but majority of pieces were fattier. A good treat to enjoy every now and then. Definitely a place we'd come back to enjoy a nice meal again. 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

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.

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

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

So delicious and well done! I was very nervous to go to an Asian fusion restaurant but was absolutely blown away by Yang's kitchen. They have a fantastic list of organic wines and a delicious menu of classic with a modern and up leveled ingredients. My husband and I ordered for dinner, the cha siu, salmon tartar, dan dan noodles, claypot mussels, the Japanese pudding and the swirl soft serve. Everything was delicious, nothing was a miss and the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. I 100% would recommend this spot! 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

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

The kind of restaurant where a tiny plate comes out and everyone leans in and says "wtf is this?" Tomato salad - This was good but it's a pitiful portion of like 5 spoonfuls. Steelhead tartar - Just ok, a tartar paste on a big thin cracker. Difficult to share. Pork Jowl - Did not like the sauce. The meat was kinda like a chasiu but just not very good. Easy to share. Chicken wings - This is the only thing that was well portioned as they give you 5 whole wings, but they are plain. The wings from Baccali are so much better. Grilled fish collar - Not bad but the mint didn't really go that well with it. Dan dan campanelle - Disappointing. Not good dandan flavor and it's a small bowl. Hainan Fish - WAY overpriced and it's just whatever. Why ruin something so simple and good? Duck drumstick on taro - WAY overpriced. One drumstick on a bed of taro mash with taro fries. It's cool the food is locally sourced and blah blah blah but it's hard to appreciate when it is not good. The price is 3x more than a real Chinese restaurant where you can get more skillfully cooked food, so value-wise it's quite poor and the reason for my low rating. Less then 10 minutes away you have access to some of the greatest Chinese food in America so why would you come here? Also the small restaurant is insanely loud and made for a poor atmosphere. Service was good. 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

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

Yang's Kitchen (brunch menu) tops my list of restaurants by a whole mile.. it blew my mind by how complex the flavors were and how fresh the ingredients they used were... there's very few restaurants in America that I put on my holy grail restaurants list sadly, so I'm super happy when I find one that I can put on here SUNDAY, We got on the waitlist at 12 PM est seating time 1 PM, but we didn't get in until ~1:40 PM. There was a good amount people waiting outside. Smoked Fish Dip The bread was warm, pillowy soft and crispy when we received it!! Always a big plus when they bring out warm bread. The fish dip was deliciousssss if you like fish, of course. The texture isn't like a creamy, liquidy sauce-- it's more of a mixture of fish blended with some kind of mayo or cream I am not sure-- and shredded scallions on top. Cold Sesame Noodles I wasn't sure if I was going to like this dish because I don't like cold noodles but ai was pleasantly surprised!! The sesame, nutty flavor came out strong and mixed in with the veggies came a freshness that acted like a palate cleanser or a break from the heavier foods on the table. I think it's a great addition to the main meals :-) Cornmeal Mochi Pancake They say it's their top and most recommended item-- I'll skip it next time. It wasn't my cup of tea.. grainy texture and lack of fluffiness are common with gluten-free pancakes--especially when using cornmeal and mochi flour, which are the two primary aspects I love about pancakes :-( Breakfast Plate w/ Grass Fed Hangar Steak (my top dish!) I'd order this again JUST FOR THE HASHBROWN!! It was unlike any other hash brown I've had before. V crispy on the outside and fluffy and warm potatoes on the inside.. it was like a thiccck McD's hashbrown but less processed and less oily. The eggs were v fluffy and warm. The steak was perfectly medium rare and chimichurri sauce was v gud. No complaints on this dish at all. Next time I'lll go again for their dinner menu and extensive list of wine :') 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

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

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
