Young's Restaurant

Food was all fresh ingredients with wonderful flavors/flavors that complemented the food. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. This is a rare smaller restaurant that takes pride in serving fresh flavors Asian and American food. An absolute must visit.

I had dinner here with my wife and toddler and had a good experience. They were very friendly and welcoming, and even came out with a Mickey Mouse pancake for our toddler on the house. We tried two dishes, and the orange chicken was our favorite. The food here is decent but not amazing. We’ll likely come back because it’s easy and welcoming and fast.

What a wonderful find. Young's seems unassuming from the outside but don't let that keep you from entering. The food was fantastic. The garlic fried rice actually has a TON of garlic. The fried chicken and waffles are like they are right out of the South. The Thai coffee and tea are both flavorful and not icky sweet. Service was friendly and fast. This place is a true gem.

We LOVED Youngs. Especially since they were so nice to our kids! It’s hard to find a place that’s kid friendly. They brought out little Mickey pancakes, my kids loved it. The food was so great, chicken was so crispy. We will definitely be back to try more things. Service was fast and staff were VERY friendly.

We had takeout from here twice and it was as mediocre, solid. We had the pad see ew, the crispy garlic chicken, garlic green beans, panang curry, and the papaya salad. The pad see ew needed a little chili oil or zip to it, and the papaya salad had no spice to it, it was very well built, but a huge component of the papaya salad is the heat. The crispy garlic chicken had very quality pieces of meat in it, and wasn’t just the super breaded and deep fried super sweet version that you get at most Thai spots. The green beans had no flavor, what bummer! The panang curry was good, chicken as tender. Love the variety but wondering what the star of the show is.

Been coming here for years now and their pineapple fried rice is always great, friendly staff and amazing variation of food. 10/10 would recommend

Awesome diner with delicious food & service. They have a varied menu which includes breakfast favorites as well as Thai & Chinese offerings as well! Omelets and chicken fried steak with country gravy are wonderful and they offer Belgium waffles with berries and whipped cream! Amazing!

We dropped by for dinner after browsing their online menu from their website, we were surprised that they had entrees for about ten dollars, well they actually didn’t, entrees were about $15 which is inline with other restaurants. I suppose the prices on the website are dated, I’m including photos of the menu so that you know what to expect. We got four entrees. What I highly recommend is the crispy garlic chicken, if this was the only entree I had I would have given it five stars! The chicken was crispy and moist inside, delicious and a generous portion. The other three meals were not even close. The lo mein was the second favorite, with a huge gap, it was alright, the beef was chewy, not soft. I found the sweet and sour chicken disappointing, it wasn’t crispy and there was too much sauce for my liking. Finally the garlic delight was not good, we did not finish it, a bit too salty and overpowered with garlic. Rice is extra. I noticed that they have lunch combo deals. Service was good and the restaurant has several tables for dinning in, but they were more busy with takeout orders, probably the delicious crispy garlic chicken.

The perfect breakfast I think it's called, hits the spot. Also had dinner for the first time tonight. The wonton soup is light yet flavorful. The orange chicken is damn near perfection. Love and appreciate this place so much. Def a hidden gem unless you're a local and then it's not so hidden. Been here for years and loved for all of them.

Service was great, immediately got seated to a booth & greater with a smile. The food came out fast! Hot! Seasoned & was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is clean & had a good flow of people. I'm so glad I got to get a chance to brunch here. I will definitely be coming back here!!

First time coming here and the food was delicious. I ordered the lunch combo veggie delight with chicken. It came with tasty fried garlic on top! (1 star and was not too spicy) The soup was a good size and cane with 2 large wonton and green onions. The rice was so fluffy and the sauce was lovely. Staff was friendly and fast service. I highly recommend this place and I will come back again.

Good food all around. Ordered the Crispy Garlic Chicken and it had a ton of flavor. Wife ordered drunken noodles and those were really good as well.

My friend surprised me with breakfast from Youngs today. OMG! Do ourself a favor and make it a point to go to Youngs soon. The food was amazing. Portions r gigantic, as a matter of fact, I could only eat half of my omelet. The staff there are always so kind and willing to accommodate anything that will make ur food meet ur satisfaction. I love this place!!!

Wow!!! We usually don't go for restaurants that have multiple kinds of food, but this one really achieved that. Needless to say, we were very surprised with the food, which was high quality and delicious. I have extremely high standards for Asian foods, and we tried Thai and Chinese food,. It tasted so good. Service was good, as we came with kids and they gave them a free Mickey mouse pancake! 100% recommend.

Been here a few months back and had the veggie omelette, I love that they pack it with vegetable. I am on a high protein diet and it was exactly what I needed to fuel my morning. Friendly staff and clean establishment.

This place has been sold twice in the last 2-3 years. First time sold the food was still good, except the downgraded ham steak breakfast. Now it seems the food is not quite as good but I haven't tried the Chinese selection for a while now. I think it's still okay to keep going there.

My favorite neighborhood spot! The food is delicious with a wide variety of options on the menu, and the portions are always generous. I have been coming here for a few years now and the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming every time I visit. I highly recommend supporting this family-owned business--they truly deserve all the love!

House fried rice was very filling and tasty! It is amazing that this restaurant has both diverse selection of diner food, and a very tasty bunch of Asian dishes. Really quality, tasty stuff, and great service! Worth a try, you'll come back!

What a unique spin on a diner: upon first look, there are American style booths. Then you realize the walls have sweeping landscapes and the sauce holder has sriracha, hoisin. Instead of trying to fuse cuisines, they offer both American food and thai chinese food. When the menu is pressed under the table glass, you know 2 things: 1. the restaurant is serious about its offerings 2. the menu doesn't change often because the dishes are classics. Because we went for Sunday brunch, we chose to go with American. Everything was done super well, from the eggs to the hashbrowns to the biscuit to the gravy. If anyone ever doubted Asians cooking good American diner food, they'll be proven wrong. Support this family-run business!

I love Young's for so many reasons. How many places can you find a classic American breakfast diner that also serves Chinese-American food along with your pancakes through lunch service, and offers some delicious Thai food at night? The Thai offerings aren't run of the mill, as evidenced by the inclusion of Kao Soi on the menu. Try this dish! I eat it everywhere it's offered and I was pretty impressed with Young's. It's somewhere between a soup and a curry, with both soft and crunchy noodles. If you are eating in, Young's is your classic divey diner, with booths and tables. Service is attentive and it's definitely got a neighborhood vibe. A White Center classic.

Young's is so popular in White Center for all the right reasons. Their service, consistency, the endless options of food and the feel-good vibes you get when leaving this family run business! They opened in '82 and it has been the same ever since. I have been coming here since I was young for breakfast and would make small talk with the parents who owned the business and their children who were employed. 39 years later, they handed the torch to new owners yet it has still been the same taste and feeling I remember.. but with additions! I came here for the first time today since the transition and tried their Thai food. So delicious! I got their Pad Thai and Papaya salad, both 3 stars. They were very flavorful and spicy-- just how I like! I also got a Thai iced tea and it was delicious! This is going to be dangerous for my wallet! Their story is so inspiring. If you haven't, read the article written about them on Northwest Asian Weekly and I promise you'll want to stop in.

This is a great Asian Diner. Comfort food at reasonable prices and with generous portions. Pictures are after we already had served a portion to ourselves. The food tasted great. We had the daily special, a curry, with tofu and eggplant with chicken. The main entrees include the protein (extra for shrimp I think) but do not include rice. The eggplant was a little oily for us but it didn't detract from the flavor. Service was timely but we got there before the rush. They are short staffed according to a sign. The diner is clean, as were the bathrooms. Free street parking. We plan to return when in the area.

My favorite diner in West Seattle. Incredible mix of old and new vibes. Food is great, too.

I typically avoid restaurants that offer 3 separate types of cuisine (like Chinese, Thai, and American). But after hearing good things about Young's from many different friends with discerning palates, I decided to give it a shot. I was not disappointed! The "Chow mein" listed on their entree menu is actually Hong Kong style pan-fried egg noodles (or "jeen mein" in Cantonese). My favorite!! And it was delicious -- served piping hot and extra crispy, as it should be, with a heaping pile of sauced up veggies and protein. On a Tuesday at noon, the restaurant was probably half full with plenty of street parking outside. It's a clean, spacious, and well-lit dining area with attentive staff. In fact, the service was so good that I think the gals offered to refill our soft drinks more than four times in just over an hour. But they were very polite and we didn't feel rushed. My only regret is not trying Young's sooner. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes!

Interesting mix of breakfast and Chinese. Food was good and portions plentiful. Diner style. Good service.

The food was outstanding and service was excellent- great portion size--be prepared for a go box!

Just wanted to give a huge shoutout for the family friendly nature of this place! They brought our two year old a Mickey Mouse pancake right away and the service team made a touching effort to address him and include him to make sure the whole family was having a good time. Daddy even got to have a very fairly priced beer!

Ambience is typical diner, but the food I had -- pad see ew-- was so mediocre. Service was ok. This place was highly recommended to me but I can't suggest it to anyone looking for Thai food.

I order for takeout and the food is still amazing and the service just as good! I forgot to order two drinks to go, but when I received my order, they already placed a complementary one with my delivery. You don't get that type of customer service nowadays highly recommend great food, and good people.

I love this place. I have only been a few times, but it's the real deal. My favorite is the Hong Kong style chow mein. It's perfect. You get those perfectly crunchy noodles, put the sauce on to soften and get a flavor explosion! When you order to go, they do the right thing and keep the noodles separate from the broth/veggies/meat. My husband is obsessed w/ the almond chicken. The pork fried rice is delish, and not greasy, it's perfect. Wings are amazeballs. Dining in you get great service, take out is hot and fresh. Try this place - forget that its's in EEK "White Center!". Neighborhood is as safe as anywhere is these days. Support this little place - you won't regret it. YUMMMY.

The service was pleasant and very polite. This was one of the best chicken fried steak meals I've ever had. Extremely tender. Not tough or chewy in any way. The gravy tasted home made and the hash browns were crispy and tasty. I would definitely recommend and I would order the same thing.

Really solid place with huge portions! I love the novelty of the restaurant as it serves diner/all day breakfast, Americanized Chinese food, and Thai food. I'm sure your entire group would be happy going here with vegetarian options as well. Came here on a Friday night with no wait but looked like the kitchen was pretty busy with all the to go orders. Ordered pad thai 4 stars and while the taste wasn't AMAZING, it was pretty good, and especially for the price. Also ordered mushroom hamburger with fries which tasted average, but again huge portions. Service was very quick and friendly as well.

We got take out while visiting Seattle. They have a very good lunch menu 7 days a week because we were there on Sunday. We ordered the lunch combo of garlic delight w/beef (it includes a huge amount of rice + won ton soup). While the flavor was very good, I'd prefer if it had more 'sauce' to it. The won ton soup was wonderful. It was a great value. We also ordered the popular crispy garlic chicken for $15. Wow, it was excellent and they must have given us at least a pound of chicken! These two items provided two meals for each of us! Very good food and an excellent value. It's a fairly large restaurant for dine in. The kitchen was very busy with at least 4 people working. We would definitely stop by again if we are in the area. Highly recommend.

American, Chinese, and/or Thai! I came for the Thai and if they execute these dishes like how they do, I'm sure the other two types of cuisine are equally as good.

Ordered take out, it was very busy but the folks working were friendly and helpful. It looked like weekend breakfast was popular, I want to go back and try that

Favorite spot for some down home favorites. Breakfast options classic plus Asian side of menu is legit. Portions are great, food is bomb, servers are sweet! You will leave stuffed and happy no matter what side of the menu you pick from.

Went to Young's for Mom's Day breakfast. The menu has something for everyone. Glad we came

Service is amazing! Workers are so nice and do go over the top to make sure your experience is good. Place is nice and quiet. We just came in to grab coffee and a little snack

As locals from Maui Hawaii we've been to young's at least 4 times for our breakfast. Our kids had their pancakes(kids special) myself I was stuck on their chicken and waffles. Something about their chicken man!!!! The husband tried different dishes each time and it never failed his taste buds. HE LOVED THEM ALL! And the staff is amazing. My year and a half daughter can be stubborn especially when she wants to move around instead of sitting and allowing us to eat and enjoy and the staff took time out of her job to grab our daughter and allowed her to meet others around and walk around while we hurried and finished eating. We just wanna thank each and everyone of you for the great experience! As we say in Hawaii mahalo nui loa for the aloha you've given us!

My partner and I just moved to the neighborhood and stopped by for a quick lunch. Admittedly we did not check the menu and just saw it was a dinner. American-Asian combo restaurant with great prices, huge portions, and friendly staff. Will be back.

Not as good as it used to be. Tried the chicken chow mein and was given a heaping plate of burnt tasting noodles in a pool of bland sauce, with very little chicken or vegetables. Would not recommend.

Young's is nothing short of AMAZING! My partner and myself started coming here last week after we moved to the neighborhood and will continue to come! The customer service is top notch, and it is locally owned and operated. Everyone is so friendly and they provide great table service. Janice is amazing and so is the entire staff that works there! They have both American food and Chinese food as well as an awesome brunch menu. The concept of American and Chinese food together threw me off, but God their breakfast and brunch is AMAZING and served all day! I have had both the biscuits and gravy with ham and the grilled cheese with ham and they both taste amazing. Young's has very superior quality when it comes to their food. I highly recommend these dishes and will be trying others. We will definitely be coming back. Young's is a staple in the White Center community for sure.

SOO GOOD! the food was incredible, me and my uncle grabbed breakfast here this morning and the service was great. It's a very cute little spot if you want to pop in for breakfast but you don't want to miss their lunch/dinner menu! Absolutely amazing, the biggest menu I've seen in a long time full of amazing food. HIGHLY Recommend!!

Came here for dinner and it didn't disappoint. We had: 1. Crispy Garlic chicken - very good, much better than BR and BB in West Seattle 2. Spicy eggplant - very authentic yummy Thai dish 3. Crispy pork BBQ Chow mein - delicious We were pleasantly full...oh and the service was very good and courteous.

We got take out while visiting Seattle. They have a very good lunch menu 7 days a week because we were there on Sunday.

I love this place. It's family owned. Their consistency, great portions and pricing. It's not fancy dining by any stretch of the imagination. But it is filling, delicious, great value as well as welcoming. Great comfort food, where they always make you feel like you're part of the family.

They were so kind! Had the pancakes on the grill as soon as they saw my two little ones :) I ordered the Crab Fried Rice, Garlic Chicken, and we were drooling from our taste buds praising the chef (I'm not even joking). It was delicious and I already can't wait to come back :D

Always a delicious meal no matter what you get, and friendly service. Pad see ew, crispy garlic chicken, and pad Thai are all yum yum

Awesome food and standard to good pricing for the value. The staff is always nice and prompt when ordering and dining in. This is a sneaky gem!

absolutely a banger sunday brunch! the portions are huge and the omelettes are delicious!

The breakfast is delicious but the Thai food is to die for. Best drunken noodles (pad kee mao), I have ever had. The red curry is full of flavor and the crispy garlic chicken is sooo good too. I love Young's because I can get my Thai favorites and my family can get the American food they love too. The atmosphere is chill and comfortable. The service is always super warm and friendly. This restaurant is a staple for us.

Great food, great service and a family owned restaurant that makes you feel at home. My new go to breakfast place in this area.

Food here is delicious comes out hot every time the ladies that work there are super sweet. Love the garlic crispy chicken and the little fried spring roll with the plum sauce is great too.

New ownership does not disappoint! We were super excited when we discovered they offered dinner and included Thai items on the menu. We'd been struggling to find good Thai food that delivered. Young's is the best! Crispy Garlic Chicken - always crispy and delicious. Pad Thai - super tasty. Peanut sauce - provides just a little kick. Green curry - packed with flavor. We probably order from them once a week. We'd been big fans of the previous owners and prior to COVID frequent breakfast customers. I'm sure they are pleased that the great reputation they built remains intact, plus it continues to grow.

Food is a mix: American breakfast and hamburgers, Chinese and Thai food. It's nice to have a variety. Although on the expensive side, we don't go often. The service is very friendly

This was a surprisingly great restaurant. Food was quite good and plentiful at affordable prices. Service was very on point and friendly. Would definitely come back. There was not a lot of fusion items, mostly either American, Chinese, or Thai though there was a Chinese bbq pork omelette which was delicious.
