"Head to Yang’s Kitchen’s cheery Alhambra dining room where chef Chris Yang serves up daytime hits like smoked salmon hash, cold sesame noodles, and fried chicken wings. Yang’s commitment to quality, well-sourced ingredients make all the difference with grass-fed beef, antibiotic-free pork, and whole-grain flours from Pasadena’s Grist & Toll. Those coming solo should order the set meal, which comes with a choice of protein like hangar steak and dry-aged barramundi alongside rice, vegetables, pickles, and soy egg." - Matthew Kang
