"Although the kitchen side of Yang’s is now closed (for the most part), this modern Taiwanese restaurant has since transformed into a full-time marketplace. Their Alhambra location currently functions as a one-stop-shop for goods and foods from local vendors, including bread from Bub and Grandma’s, fresh pasta from Semolina Artisanal, produce from Chavez Family Farms, as well as a variety of T-shirts, ceramics, candles, and the greatest good of all - toilet paper. Preorder for pick-up through their website." - kat hong
"This breezy Taiwanese cafe in Alhambra is one of the best restaurants in LA. And while their dinner menu is elite, brunch is no slouch either. If you’re by yourself midweek, go for a set meal, which gets you a choice of protein (we love the buttery, dry-aged barramundi), miso soup, vegetables, and rice. For a weekend brunch with friends, concentrate on the shareable stuff like cold sesame noodles, cornmeal pancakes, and smoked salmon hash with lemon creme fraiche." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"Yang’s is not only one of the best places to eat in the SGV, but the entire city. At night, the lights in the white-wooded dining room are dimmed, soft indie music hums on the speakers, and friends huddle around tables ordering bottles of orange wine. It feels like a cool bookstore cafe that doesn’t close when the sun goes down. And while there are zero misses on Yang’s menu, the “larger bites” section is where you’ll want your attention. That’s where you’ll find dishes like peanut-y dan dan campanelle, creamy prawns and millet, and a Hainan fish rice with chili butter that we think about every morning when we wake up." - cathy park, sylvio martins, brant cox, andrew ryce
"Head to this broadly Chinese-Taiwanese spot in Alhambra during the day and you’ll find a menu of straightforward dishes that are designed to arrive quickly and fill you up. Think hearty breakfast plates and big helpings of cold sesame noodles. At night, though, things ramp up. The lights are dimmed, soft indie music hums on the speakers, and friends huddle around tables ordering bottles of orange wine. It feels like a cool bookstore cafe that doesn’t close when the sun goes down. Most importantly, this is when you can order the “larger bites,” dishes like nutty dan dan campanelle, creamy prawns and millet, and hainan fish rice with chili butter we’d nominate to go on the official SGV flag. If there was such a thing." - sylvio martins, brant cox, garrett snyder, cathy park
"Fancy soft serve has been the de facto dessert at this modern Taiwanese-Chinese restaurant in Alhambra since it opened in 2019 and if you ask us, there's no better way to end a meal of sesame noodles and hainan fish rice. Expect rich Straus Creamery vanilla swirled with a seasonal fruit sorbet in flavors like blood orange, mango, and strawberry, plus toppings like housemade red bean paste, sweet cornflakes, and black sesame butter." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
