"It just blows me away that this chain is owned by the same company as Olive Garden when the food is not even in the same hemisphere. They are easily my favorite chain restaurant and the one we frequent most often. Olive Garden it is NOT. I think the one and only complaint about YH can be the wait at times. Don 't go at 6:30 on a Friday night expecting to be seated in under 15 minutes. But hey if a place is this popular, it 's for good reason. I 'll probably have three photos up of the seared ahi tuna sandwich, DONT CARE, I 'll post it 100 times if I need to. I don 't know what it is about the tuna here but the ahi nachos are a must go to also, they do fishy very very well. My only issue with the food here and it isn 't even mine personally is that my son is not a big fan of the mac n cheese on the kid 's menu. Why? Because it 's TOO flavorful. My wife and I end up eating over half of it, a three cheese blend and I can taste a hint of garlic. It 's very delicious and not something a toddler is used to. Oh, and always upgrade to the truffle fries. I don 't care if they increase the price to $5 per order, there is no other way to do it here and don 't even me about it. Where to start about the beer selection. If you like it, they probably have it. The tap room itself is usually on display and man is it glorious. Get up and walk around sometime. Look up. Look behind the glass where all the kegs lie, it is truly a sight to behold even if you 're not a drinker. And yes, you can get a yard glass, they even give you the background history on how they came to be in the lobby (I won 't ruin it here). For ambiance, you 're always greeted with your favorite 80s and 90s groups and some TV 's carry the music videos, they know how to get to my demographic well. YH isn 't over the top or campy like a lot of other chains can be, simply trying too hard. The place is just fabulous, and I hope it can stay consistent for decades, staying insanely busy at all hours of the day."

"Soul crushing bill.Food is okay, definitely not worth the price. Super ambitious menu, great concepts but really not so great execution. Gave this restaurant 2 shots, both were dissapointing. First time was when they first opened up. We had burgers and ramen fries. The burgers were alright, but honestly you could get a better one across the street at Wahlburgers for almost half the price. The ramen fries initially were really good, honestly an excellent idea. But... After a while the seasoning was overwhelming. There was just SO much of it.Today we tried the karaage chicken, ramen and steak. The karaage chicken was genuinely really good, but not at all karaage. I'm not sure why it's called karaage besides it sounding cool to people who's never had it? The main dishes on the other hand.. weren't so great. Both the ramen and the steak just tasted like nothing. The broth was very watery and the steak just seemed to have no salt or seasoning on it at all. The quality of the steak was okay but definitely not what a $40 steak should be. I know there was a steak sauce on the side... But a steak at that price shouldn't NEED the sauce to cover up the lack of flavor. A steak should stand strong on its own, and the sauce should be there to compliment it not overshadow it.Walked away with a bill that was $110 for 2 adults and 1 kid. We only had 1 mixed drink and a soda to go with our food. You'd find a much better meal for a quarter of the price at similar places. Hell, I'd rather go to an Applebee's than come here again. There's just absolutely nothing here to justify the pricing, it's not a fancy place by any means.Typically I give restaurants 3 strikes instead of 2, but at this price I just can't afford it."
