| - We've been wanting to try Yangs for quite some time now. Parking lot always seems to be busy with patrons.
$24.99/adult for weeknight dinner.
Had a variety of things...
Sushimi came extremely quick and looked weird visually. Salmon was very dark orange. Too dark in fact, and when you bite into it, you realize it's extremely cold. If you had sensitive teeth, you'd be screaming in agony from it. Seems they pre-cut their sushimi and keep it on the cooler. Explains why it came so fast. This is the first time I've ever had it served like that. Not impressed at all.
Had a couple of different noodles. Size per was very small compared to other AYCEs. Spicy seafood noodle - was just the seafood noodle with a huge squirt is sriracha sauce. Again, not impressed.
Shrimp tempura were ok. Onion tempura were too soggy.
Had the soft shell crab roll, California roll, volcano roll, scallop roll, and green dragon.
Pieces were not cut up evenly. Sizes of each piece was no where near uniform. Almost like presentation didn't matter. Soft shell crap was disgusting. It had a itty bitty piece of crab and a whole lotta mayo. I'm not taking spicy mayo. I'm talking miracle whip, out the jar mayo. Seems they like to use it for a lot of things.
Ordered both the eel pancake & Hokkaiyaki scallop which was 1 per person limit. Pancake was ok. Wouldn't have ordered more even if I could. The scallop was nasty. Even worst than the crab roll. Basically a scoop of mayo (again not the spicy, but the jarred mayo) and a piece of scallop the size of my thumb nail. No, that's not an exaggeration, unfortunately. They mayo was very tangy. Also turned of you ask me. I just ate scallop, and even then I still had the tangy mayo taste so didn't really enjoy it.
Place seems needing a renovation. Booth was adequate for 2, but would be right for 4. Overall spacing was very cramped. Can walk down aisle 2-abreast. Washrooms looked stained & run down.
Overall service was ok. Nothing special/exceptional. It was quick, but that's probably because of the pre-cut sushimi and I'm sure they pre cook lots of their stuff too (soup noodle came out pretty fast too). Staff weren't too friendly. But that's probably cause they charge 10% gratuity on top of your total bill. It irks me when restaurants do this....even worst is they calculate it after taxes. So they are getting 10% of taxes too?
In the end, the experience is all based on whether you'd recommend or go back again; and safe to say I would do either.
