" I decided to check out Yang Yum after hearing raving reviews, especially about their chicken. I got the honey butter chicken and boy, was I impressed! It was crispy on the outside and utterly delightful with the sweet and savory sauce. While the atmosphere isn’t fancy, it felt cozy and inviting. If you’re in the mood for comfort food, this is the place. Just be prepared to wait a bit during peak hours, but trust me, it’s worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Yang Yum for the first time and had the Yang Yum Box. The portion sizes were generous, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The only drawback was a slight wait time during peak hours. But the experience overall was positive, and I look forward to returning to try more of their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
