Young's Restaurant

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!
