Definitely a fast, casual spot. There were several other takeout orders when I stopped by to pick up my order. Quick service and a decent spot if you're looking for something fast for lunch or dinner. The restaurant itself is relatively small but there is parking. The food was decent but the menu was a bit small. The flavor was good but not incredibly special. Keep in mind their most popular dishes are very liquidy (almost like soup)! read more

Tried this place out as it was close to the hotel I stayed at and it was overall pretty good. I ordered with no one in line and it was a few hours before closing. I initially wanted pork but they had none, and was surprised but got the chicken instead. Service was nice, and by the time I left the place was mildly packed, and it seemed that most people in the area eat dinner later in the evening. read more

Yang's Braised Chicken Rice - Bone soup rice noodle - Chicken Shop Near Me - Cupertino, California

6,000+ locations and counting so must be lit, right?! Yang's Braised Chicken is a Chinese franchise from Shandong province serving one dish only: Huang Men Ji Fan, Braised Chicken Rice. They've softly opened their first NorCal location inside Cupertino Village (shared space with Jell & Chill) offering takeout and indoor dining. This plaza is a hub for Chinese regional restaurants so the location makes sense. M E N U * Yang's Braised Chicken Bowl: Regular (mild), Authentic (medium), and Spicy ($13.99 each) F O O D * 正宗 Authentic Braised Chicken Rice ($13.99): https://tinyurl.com/yeys4dej *** Medium spicy This is my first time trying Yang's so I have no idea how it compares to the franchises in China. I didn't bother looking at their yelp reviews for their SoCal locations which has a 3-3.5 star average rating. The braised chicken tasted very homestyle but not in good way...like something anyone can throw together last minute at home. There was a generous amount of boneless dark chicken pieces (kinda dry) with shiitake mushrooms and ginger slices. The gravy was soupy and underwhelming in taste; very salty with a slight herbal flavor. Heat levels corresponds to the amount of jalapeño. Medium was barely spicy so if you like it hot, go for the spicy or request extra spicy. Rather large portion; enough for two meals. S E R V I C E Very friendly staff with fast service. My takeout order was ready in 5 minutes. A M B I A N C E Shared space with Jell & Chill - trendy, nightclub vibes. P A R K I N G Chaotic parking with tight spaces at Cupertino Village. Overall, Yang's Braised Chicken Rice was pretty meh (tossed it after several bites). If you only have one "signature" dish on the menu, that dish has to BE solid. Hope they work out their kinks and others have a better experience! read more

Yang's Braised Chicken Rice shares a space with Jell & Chill in Cupertino Village. I had been to this chain near Disneyland, so when I learned it had opened up recently in the Bay Area, si decided to check it out. Their specialty -- in fact, "one dish restaurant" disclaimer -- is the Braised Chicken Rice in three levels of spiciness (Regular, Authentic, and Spicy). Originally, I was going to order from the self-serve kiosk, but only the Jell & Chill menu is available on there. The young lady manning the counter was friendly and helpful as I placed my order. I took a seat and admired the decor. One side had the Jell & Chill decor (left side facing in) and the other Yang's (right). My order was soon brought to my table. I ordered the Authentic, which wasn't too spicy. While eating, there were several walk-ins and online orders picking up their food. Simple and tasty. If I am in the area in need of something to eat, I would return here. read more

This one dish place is inside Jell & Chill but as it's own restaurant it is not part of the Snackpass app to accumulate points. We are here to try the chicken dish anyways. The menu is simple, the dish only has spicy level options. You can choose to add broccoli and or potatoes for $1.5 each. For the amount in there though I think it's a bit of a rip off. Service is good when the cashier helped us place the order and food came quickly. But to me this is just a very normal chicken dish with slices of dried mushrooms, chicken, soy sauce and maybe some oyster sauce, very easy to replicate at home. It's a bit too salty for me but if you mix in a big bowl of rice it can be a good dish for kids. read more

Order: * Chicken Rice Bowl Pros: * Friendly staff * Decent sized portion * Decent flavor Cons: * I was hoping for more of a thicker gravy but the sauce is thin like soup. * The chicken pieces are small, minced pieces that I feel like were quickly stir fried and cooked in soup. * The flavor was similar to something I could throw together at home with just basic Chinese cooking skills. Comments: * There's nothing particularly wrong or bad with this dish, but it's just nothing special, particularly for the price. * Side note, don't let that stop you from getting the Jell + Chill, which I do like. read more

Fairly new spot that shares a space with Jell and Chill. First location in NorCal but chain has something like 6000+ locations in Asia. Ambiance: Pretty standard casual spot. Food comes out really quickly, seemed like most people were doing takeout. Food: Was my first time trying this dish so don't have a strong frame of reference. Overall pretty decent but expected the broth to have a little bit more of an "oomph". Mostly just tasted like a herby/ginger soup and would have liked something a bit heartier with the rice. 4/5 Definitely a solid option, especially on a cold day but would expect a one dish restaurant to make that dish with a little more pizazz! May give it another try once they have a few more months under their belt. read more

Rounding up 3.5 stars since it's their soft opening. Another Chinese chain making its way to the Bay (already have multiple locations in SoCal). Yang's has an interesting concept of serving a single signature dish - huang men ji fan (yellow steamed chicken rice). They have 3 levels of spiciness with authentic being the middle tier. The home style chicken recipe is simple and while the mushroom and ginger add some needed flavor, it's still underwhelming and leads to a flavor profile that's just ok. You can get a Yuzu combo for $17.99 and the Yuzu drink isn't half bad. The location is shared with Jell & Chill. It's nice, clean, and relatively spacious. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming so that's a plus. read more

This place was surprisingly really good. All items on menu come with a set of rice, potato side dish, rice, and the choice of entree. The food came out steaming hot and fresh. They gave a lot of eggplant and the eggplant had so much flavor; it went really well with rice. The braised chicken was super flavorful as well AND it was juicy. For ~$15, it was worth for the amount of food you get. When I went, I was the only person who dined in but I saw a lot of deliveries and I think it's a perfect meal if you're looking for some homemade style chinese food. read more

My first time there.They were very friendly and polite and professional I got yang's chicken for my wife and I told them if my wife likes it I ll be back! Guess what she likes it! I'll be coming back. read more

Came here several times. We've tried the chicken rice bowl, braised pork leg, braised eggplant and minced pork and the braised jalapeno stuffed with minced pork mostly to-go. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and had enough for a second meal. I'm not sure where this dish originated from but it reminds me of my mom's cooking. The one time we dined in - no complaints with the service. Not sure why it's not busier. Maybe more to-go orders? The guy was attentive. After we finished, we ordered drinks from jell and chill. The drinks could have been a bit colder in my opinion. Would come back for sure! read more

We loved it! It was healthy and the portion sizes are comfortable for two people. The chicken and sauce were yummy and it gave us an option to eat a quick healthy lunch. read more

Loved this place! The chicken and rice was delicious and hit the spot! Their drinks were really good too!

Chicken was very tender, very tasty. I ordered the "authentic" version (with a little kick, as the menu suggests); it was just spicy enough for my tastes. The portion was large; very filling indeed. read more
