Reviews for Yang's Kitchen in Alhambra, CA
Healthy and delicious Taiwanese food. From the store front to the food it all felt very well designed. The only downside is it?s... a bit on the pricier side for the type of food they are serving but no doubt it?s very delicious. Read more
This place is so good we came here twice while visiting from Australia. Would definitely recommend booking (or waitlisting) as... this place gets packed. Recommend: the breakfast plate, Yang's set meal, and mochi pancake. The chicken we got with thebreakfast plate and set meal is topped with chimichurri which makes the dish. The first time we got the chicken it was perfectlycooked - tender and juicy. The second time it was cooked longer - so it had more char, and was less juicy overall. It would be a5 star if they were consistent. The hashbrown is AMAZING, but too bad you can't order it on its own. The mochi pancake is thebest pancake I have had. I would eat this over regular pancakes any day of the week. Not so sure: chilled tofu, coffee Cannotfault the service. Staff are polite and very accommodating. Would love if they opened one in Australia! Will definitely visitagain as soon as we're back in the US. Read more
Went in almost before closing but the waiter and kitchen were nice enough to feed us. We ordered different protein options for... the set meal. All tasted excellent! And the special grilled shrimp were amazing as well. Only wish the rice in the set mealwould have come with some veggies or more pickled stuff because everyone could not help but finish the other parts of the mealfirst very quickly :) Read more
We were excited to try this place out because there was always a long line. The wait to get a table wasn't as long as we... expected but it took a long time to get all of our food. We ordered the breakfast plate (bacon), prawns and millet, and thebiscuit twists. We got the breakfast plate first, and after my husband finished it, we got the biscuit twists. We waited quite awhile after we finished the biscuit twists to get the last dish. Food here is pricey and the portions are rather small. Thebiscuit twists was my favorite and if you ordered the breakfast plate, you'll probably need to order this to feel full. Thebreakfast plate did not seem like it was worth the price and you only get one small slice of bacon. The prawns were tasty butthe millet was just ok. Overall, none of the dishes really wowed us. We were also surprised that there was a restore the planetfee added to the bill because there was no disclosure about it. Read more
I don?t think you?ve lived until you?ve tried the cornmeal mochi pancake here. No joke. Yes, it is $15, but it?s life changing.... After you?ve taken a bite, you?ll wish all pancakes had this light, fluffy texture and perfect crispy edges. It?s pairsperfectly with the fresh whipped cream, blueberries, and condensed milk. For our entree, we tried the set meal with themushroom medley and the adobo pork. Everything was cooked very well and it tasted like elevated home cooked meals. The portionsare on the smaller size compared with most restaurants in the US. However, the quality of the ingredients shine through and Ilove that they display all the local farms they source from. For drinks, the Oolong Fresca is amazing. I felt like I was beingtransported onto a tropical island with each sip. I definitely recommend this place if you?re ready to splurge for a healthyand tasty dining experience. Don?t forget to order the pancakes!! Read more
Solidly 3.5 stars. Yang?s Kitchen was on my list for quite a while, and I finally got the chance to check it out. Before... visiting, be sure to put yourself on the Yelp waitlist since the line can get extremely long. We were quoted a wait time of 1 hrbut luckily only waited for 40 min. We ordered: - Smoked Fish Dip: Really great bread from Bubs and Grandma - MultigrainPorridge: I don?t recommend this at all. There?s a lot of added texture from the toppings (crispy rice, herbs, pickled cabbage),but the porridge itself had the unfortunate gloppy texture of cornstarch slurry. There was no distinction in the grains. -Barramundi set meal: The sauce on the fish had good flavor. Nothing else on the set really wowed me. - Lemon Meringue Tart: Myfavorite item. Meringue and lemon curd were perfect, while the tart crust was too thick for our liking. - Strawberry Kombucha &Strawberry Amazake Smoothie: Was expecting a larger size for the price I paid. Too sweet for my liking, I prefer a kombucha thatis more fermented; it tasted like strawberry soda. Overall, nothing truly wowed me, but the simple nature of these dishes meansYang?s is a solid choice for a clean meal. Read more
Porridge was whatever but the salmon belly crispy rice was delicious. The sesame noodles were also great, loved the ratio of... vegetables to noodles as wel as the chilli sauce that came with it. Had the custard as well, it was passion fruit flavored thistime and thought it was pretty good as well. The service here was great too! Read more
The food was amazing. We ordered variations of the breakfast plate and every aspect of each was on point. Crispy hash brown... brick and perfectly cooked eggs. Also, the mochi pancake really surprised me. It was thin and a little crispy on the edges, butstill substantial. And it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. The staff was attentive and friendly. Read more
