Yang’s Restaurant — Restaurant in Tulsa

I just can’t drink the Kool-Aid with the other reviewers on this one. It ain’t that good. I know where to find better Hmong/Laotian food.

Up to the counter to order one of Yang’s signature menu items, Stuffed Wings. I had spent an hour convincing my wife that the restaurant was worth a try for this item alone. I had coerced her with promised pastries from Pancho Anaya Bakery (across the street) to take home after the meal.

Well, no stuffed chicken wings. Only a few of the regular chicken wings abandoned in the heated tray. Noticeably picked through leaving the losers behind, like the nerds that get picked last for high school dodge ball. The sausage situation was similar. No egg rolls. Lots of mystery fish, wrapped in grilled stained foil stacked high. Obviously not a desirable protein of choice by the patrons. Plenty of pork belly. It looked good, but pork fat and rice, just doesn’t make my mouth water. My wife wanted to try the purple rice. That narrowed her selection down to the remaining sausage logs with purple sticky rice. I admit that the sausage looked deceivingly good, so I got one and a small beef Pho.

Serve yourself tableware and condiments for the Pho were in the corner. Problem, no spoons, forks, etc. were available. Our food came out. I informed the server that there was none available. She went back to the kitchen and after a suspiciously long wait, brings freshly washed dining utensils.

The sausage casings are stuffed with a coarsely chopped meat of some type. ??? It tasted good. Nicely seasoned. The first bite surprises with the unusual firm and coarse texture of the filling, and another surprise. Every bite comes with a “no chew ‘em.” Gristle, cartilage, unchewable bits of something that you tolerate during the first few bites. And then you decide that whatever these disgusting animal pieces are, need to be located and removed from your mouth. Enough of the sausage. The Pho had similar low-quality meat. The broth was flavorful and the basil, jalapeno slices, and onion made it even better. It was fair.

There are very few reviewers that have written updated reviews, confirming that for most folks like me, it is a one and done visit.

If you like lots of rice and pork belly this is your place.

Yang's is definitely my go to for curry noodles. I haven't lived with my mom in a few years and sometimes when I'm craving my mom's curry noodles but can't get it from her for whatever reason, I go to Yang's. This was my favorite meal when I was younger so being able to get it now is definitely a plus. It's hard to find a restuarant in the area that serves this noodle dish. And it's so much more convenient to buy this dish than to go out and make an entire pot of it for just one person. And also, they sell rice rolls and baked eggs which I didn't know they had. I had been craving rice rolls for awhile and thought I was going to have to make multiple stops to get some, so of course I had to grab a few of those too. It was like walking in and hitting the food...

This was my first time going to Yang’s restaurant. It was myself and two of my work partners we took a break from being on location, filming a TV commercial and decided to stop in. I got the Special Pho which was a mix of different meats and shrimp. The Pho here is perfect! I got the large and it was a huge bowl! They have all the veggies in a cold salad bar area that you can help yourself to and add to your Pho! One of my friends had the Tilapia and he did not enjoy that at all. I don’t recommend the tilapia. I highly recommend the Pho! Perfect! They also had full roasted duck their. I want to go back and try that next time. Super friendly staff. Overall I will for sure return and I do recommend giving...
