The press has been talking about Yang’s for some time as one of the new style SGV Chinese places — so had to try it.
The main street frontage.
The menu.
Very casual interior. Service was excellent, however, with an extremely knowledgable Somm.
Pickles. Nice and crunchy.
Cucumbers. Fabulous cucumbers with a bit of spicy.
Raw Oysters of the Day.
Chilled Tofu w/ Avocado & Roe. Soft and mellow.
Prawn ‘Ceviche’. Great texture.
Dungeness Crab Cold Noodle. Delicious with nice bit and cool crab.
Smoked Fish Dip. White fish salad!
Chicken Liver Mousse. Another “jewish” dish.
Yang’s Fried Chicken Wings. Lots of flavor.
Grilled Cabbage w/ Bagna Cauda.
Smoked Pork Jowl Cha Siu. Jiggly!
Grilled Dry-aged Fish Collars.
Red Wine Beef Cheek Stew.
‘Dan Dan’ Campanelle. Some numbing quality. This was probably my favorite dish. Really delicious.
Braised Duck Leg with Taro.
New York Steak & Crispy Potatoes or Chicken Fat Rice.
‘Hainan’ Fish Rice.
Dessert menu.
Black Sesame Cake.
Custard.
Tiramisu Gelato.
Pistachio Gelato.
Overall, some very delicious food. It’s very much fusion with a sort of 70/30 mix of Western and Chinese but a great kitchen. Price is fairly steep for “cafe ambiance.”
