The Yard / McKinney: A Survival Guide for the Asian Food Lover

🏮 What is The Yard? The Yard is an emerging open-air container market-style commercial district in McKinney, built from colorful shipping containers with a retro-industrial vibe. It focuses on American casual dining, craft beer, local handmade goods, and small green spaces. 🧭 How to Survive at The Yard with an Asian Craving: ✅ Fusion Options to Try: The Biscuit Bar: American biscuit sandwiches, but available with spicy fried chicken and kimchi (Korean-inspired fusion). Cidercade: Hard cider bar + retro arcade, occasionally featuring Japanese street food pop-ups (like takoyaki). Rotating Food Trucks: Weekend Asian fusion food trucks often appear, such as: Ramen Dreams: Ramen pop-up truck (tonkotsu broth + Texas BBQ toppings). Korndog Kimchi: Korean kimchi corn dogs. ❌ Don’t Expect: Authentic Cantonese dim sum, freshly prepared nigiri, or Korean charcoal-grilled beef—none of these are available here. 📌 Survival Rules The Yard is a “social hub for American vibes,” while Asian food here is more of a “surprise bonus.” Recommended: Enjoy drinks and light bites at The Yard, then head to a dedicated Asian restaurant for your main meal. #McKinney#McKinneylife#McKinneyfood#fooddiary#McKinneydiary#Texas#McKinneyweekend
