    We had a very pleasant experience in the restaurant. We had a small breakfast, chicken wings and fries, everything was tasty. We also got a complementary pancake for a toddler. The place is clean and the service is very nice and quick.

    My wife and I were eating breakfast and were enjoying the food and environment. The customer service was great. As we were eating we saw a cockroach then saw a couple more appear. They asked us if we would like to move booths and continue eating but we denied it and left.

    finally had the chance to check out youngs. came here on a weekday for lunch and the place was not busy at all. the staff was super accomodating and friendly to me and my daughter in a stroller. they even brought her a special mickey mouse pancake which she loved. i tried the lunch kung pao chicken of course. overall the kung pao was good. chicken was cut right in small cubes, the sauce was tasty and not over board on the vegtables. only issues was that there was no spicy edge to the kung pao. needed some red peppers to spice it up. the wonton soup was fire!!! overall everythig was good and will be looking forward to coming back to try other menu options. great local eatery..

    If you’re looking for a restaurant with zero wait time and excellent food, look no further. Young’s was absolutely exceptional. The wait staff was attentive and took great care of us. Plus the menu has a ton of variety so no matter what mood you’re in they have the dish for you. Highly recommended.

    The food is good and it was priced well. But it is changing ownership and going to be open for dinner now with a thai menu. But the prices have already climbed a bit from a month ago, so I'm sure the new owners will need to make up for their new loan. We will see. I can easily make make my breakfast and coffee myself for $20.

    Always the best Breakfast, order the Waffle x 2, special. Always the Bomb, stuffed. Before heading to work. Coffee with refills Awesome. Family, Friends and a Great location in West Seattle. Love it! Will not be disappointed, friendly Staff, Employee and Owner. They are the Youngs Family 👪, and makes the Best Breakfast and Lunch, you will Not forget. My grandchildren were always loving the atmosphere and the vibes of this place. Very peaceful ✌️ 😌! Parking is along each side the road, or the other side of the street. Very popular. Plus at the backside there are more Parking, along White Center 16th Ave. The Young Restaurant is Delicious and Yummy from my Grandchildren, they love the Chow Mein!

    Just my favorite diner. The diner food is great; the Chinese food is great; the Thai food is great. You can have them all at one meal in a cozy booth and diner vibe. Hard not to love it. It had been a while since we'd been there, but the vibe is great and the kid loooooved it not the least bc of the 3 inches high whipped cream with chocolate sauce on his hot chocolate.

    I was skeptical of this place based on the menu options. Usually places that offer diverse menu options (breakfast, Chinese and Thai…) aren’t so good at everything. BUT - the reviews brought us here and to our surprise it was a great spot!! The reviews and high star rating was legit. I loved the Panang Curry (they made it GF for me) and the kids got pancakes for free. My husband enjoyed his Mongolian Beef lunch special. A surprise and delight spot, we highly recommend this spot.

    The perfect neighborhood diner. American breakfast staples cooked just right. I didn’t have the Thai food this time but it looked delicious. All served up by super friendly servers with chill music wafting in the background. I lament that I am but a visitor, for now I desperately want a Young’s in my neighborhood back home.

    Went here on a whim after seeing good reviews, and BOY it did not disappoint! Wings Zabb were incredible, perfectly crispy with a delicious sweet and spicy sauce. But the real showstopper was the orange chicken. I’ve had orange chicken at dozens of restaurants over the years as it’s my favorite Chinese dish. It’s quite literally, THE BEST orange chicken I’ve had. Will absolutely return again

    FABULOUS !!! I work across the street from Young's Restaurant and we had our holiday lunch party. I called on Tuesday to order for Thursday to give them plenty of time for a 15 person order. On Wednesday due to the weather we changed the party to that same day. I called in a little after 8am and asked if we could get our order at 11:30am same day and they kindly said yes. It was ready on time and in fact one of their employees used a service cart and helped us bring the food to our location. They are super friendly and the customer service is spot on! the food was hot and very tasty! I would definitely recommend Young's for sit down or take out. Cheers to the chef we love your food!

    They have breakfast all day! Perfect mix of American diner and Chinese food, they have a meal for every mood! I only wish they were open for dinner!

  • 4/5 Sofi T. 1 year ago on Google
    The only problem here is deciding between Chinese food and classic diner breakfast food. Wonton soup great, a little oily but heavy on the scallions which I appreciated. My cashew tofu order turned into chicken somehow, but oh well. Hash browns were nice and crispy but not too oily 😋 No wait time at all. Quick refills on water and coffee. All around great breakfast experience.

    Very impressed. Unassuming and casual, but very delicious. The garlic green beans and crispy garlic chicken specials were excellent (side of rice). Very much enjoyed the drunken noodles too, medium spicy was just the right amount of spicy for my Asian palate, didn’t need the broccoli though. Thai iced tea was very sweet but authentically so.

    Needed a sit-down restaurant post Emerald City Comic Con to wait out the traffic. Searched for diner and ended up here. They have the standard diner breakfast fare. It's good, especially for the price. I fed 6 people for under $100 ($120 w/tip). 5 of us ordered breakfast. We needed the infusion of protein and sugar to make it home to Portland. The French Toast was good, the Belgian Waffles were good, eggs cooked to the right temperature. Nothing to complain about. Person #6 ordered Pad Thai and had no complaints. The place is unassuming, the atmosphere is diner'esque, the wait staff is competent, and I even liked the mural of seagulls. I even loved the sink sprayer attached to the toilet in the men's restroom. Worth a visit if you want a reasonably priced meal.
