    Cornmeal Mochi Pancake
    Rachel D.

    Honestly, so surprised to find a restaurant like this in the middle of Alhambra. Yang's Kitchen is a scratch kitchen that focuses on locally sourced, organic ingredients and sustainability. You can definitely taste the difference in the quality of food. For the appetizer, we really enjoyed the Chicken Liver Mousse. The house-made seasonal jam is so good (we just had strawberry) and pairs really well with the mousse. For brunch, we got the Grass-fed Hangar Steak Breakfast Plate which is an elevated version of your typical breakfast staples. Amazing flavor and they cook the steak perfectly every time. We also tried one of their seasonal desserts and it is a must-have. I forgot the name, but it was a melon sorbet paired with fresh mangoes, coconut milk, and sago. Super unique and refreshing. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for an upscale restaurant with a casual feel. Service is amazing, especially if you have Kai. We look forward to visiting again soon to try their dinner menu.

    Finally got to check Yang's Kitchen off my brunch list! The restaurant serves Asian fusion cuisine with fresh/locally-sourced ingredients in a bright and welcoming space. They don't take reservations for brunch, but they have a Yelp waitlist you can join ahead of time. There was only around a 15 min wait for us when we went on a Sunday for brunch. Service was friendly and attentive, and the dishes we tried were all delicious and thoughtfully prepared. - Cold sesame noodles - so yummy and flavorful! The sesame sauce was so good and nutty and the chili crisp added a nice extra kick. A big portion size so great for sharing too - Breakfast plate - comes with your choice of protein, so we got the grass-fed hanger steak. I love their take on the hash brown - it was hearty and thick with a delightfully crispy exterior - Cornmeal mochi pancake - was so excited to try this one! Loved the mochi texture with the cornmeal flavor, and it was not overly sweet or heavy. Very sharable! Parking: there's a nearby parking structure with free parking as well as an open parking lot directly behind the restaurant

    I've been here before, but was told by my friend who comes here frequently because it's one of her favorite places that I had just ordered the wrong things. So I returned and deferred to her ordering, and so glad I did! We got the cold sesame noodles, squash and kale salad, and mochi pancake, and some sort of mushroom/egg dish. My favorites were the first two, all ingredients were super fresh and well seasoned/dressed. Go early as there's typically a wait.

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

    Pork Jowl Cha Siu

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

    steak and eggs
    Tony Y.

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

    Elaine L.

    So yummy! Went for brunch and everything was delicious, service was also very quick. It's a popular spot so would recommend getting there early or signing up for their Yelp waitlist ahead of time. Mochi pancakes were delicious, and can't go wrong with the Yang's Set Meal! Excited to go back and try their dinner menu.

    Yang's Set Meal with Yuzu Miso Salmon
    Darlene D.

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

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

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

    This place was so busy on saturday morning. I thought it would be less crowded around noon but we had to wait for 1.5 hours. Good thing that they offer waitlist on Yelp. It's a very aesthetic and modern restaurant. We ordered breakfast plate (one with beef and one with tofu). So delicious and filling. The hashbrown is not like any other hashbrown. Definitely recommend to try. They also have a special menu with interesting options that you can try if you already tried their regular food items. I want to try their cornmeal mochi pancake but I know I won't have stomach for it. Next time!

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

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

The portion size was perfect for lunch. It contained tuna, soba noodles at the base, small cubes of mango & avocado, toasted coconut, red onion, basil, and sesame seeds. The ingredients were fresh and beautifully presented. The pasta alla vodka was slightly spicy. It consisted of "mezze maniche" or large tubular pasta, pungent pecorino cream, tomato, garlic, and shallots. It was topped with grated Parmesan cheese. This was a heavier entree. Each of us had one scoop of gelato. It was a nice finish to a pleasant Friday afternoon.

Was dining with some family who were visiting and dinner at Cannonball was their favorite meal of the trip. We were on the back patio for dinner, I enjoyed the metro trains passing, but it is probably not everyone's cup of tea. The ambience inside the restaurant when I got drinks at the bar was very nice. Service attentive and personable on both visits.

    I was taken to Nick's today for lunch for the first time. I was surprised that I had never taken…read morenote of this restaurant. I was great food, service and atmosphere. I will definitely think of it again when dinning in Pasadena.

    We decided to try Nick's for lunch to celebrate my birthday. OMG!!!!…read moreWhat a great place to dine. We had a reservation so we were seated right away on the second floor, just above the bar. The music was a little on the loud side so conversation was a little strained. The food was absolutely amazing. Our server was very friendly and informative but was not quite as attentive as we would expect for an establishment like this. This was our first time here, so we had to try the Asparagus Fries. The asparagus was cooked to perfection but the batter did not have much flavor. Members of our party ordered the California Salad, a Veggie Burger, the Meatloaf and a Picante Pizza. The California Salad was smaller than expected but delicious. The Veggie Burger was excellent! The Meatloaf was the hit of the table. It was so good that my wife did not offer a taste to any of us. She was in food Heaven. The pizza was exactly as described and tasted wonderful. Since we were celebrating my birthday, our server brought me a delicious piece of double chocolate cake with a candle in it. Nice touch!! We also had one of their Warm Butter Cake's with some excellent vanilla ice cream on top. Absolutely wonderful!. This may be our new "go-to" place. Looking forward to return to savor the other items on the menu. Their drinks looked delicious as well, so we will definitely try those too.

    I came here with a friend due to him moving out of state soon. Attention was top-notch from the…read moreget go. Shoutout to McAllister, the hostess. She was pleasant, friendly and professional. Our server, Kimi V. was also great. We tried the Shrimp Pasta (10/10, highly recommended), the Crispy Chicken Wings (10/10. They make these in a particular way, please ask them to explain it to you: the end result is fantastic), fish tacos (7/10, they're good, but I am neither a fish nor a taco person (however, I do like some good shrimp tacos). These ones in particular were plated and served so well ( they use blue corn tortilla: top-notch ingredient) and the ingredients were fresh, but maybe it was the type of fish? I don't really know, they were good, but I definitely would not order them again). Also, my friend had a coconut cold brew which he really enjoyed. Service was all around great. Ambiance was fantastic, the whole restaurant has a very upscale, chic vibe while also being unique in its own way. Even the restroom, that was super clean and well-maintained, has a very unique and interesting setup for what is the sink. All around great place, highly recommended. 10/10. UPDATE: Added names and more clarification on the fish tacos. Thank you to the GM in leaving a response. Your whole team is fantastic. I'll definitely be back.
