About this place
A generous coating of sauce and a finishing touch of sansho pepper give Yan’s Chinese-style pork cutlet rice its character. Diners have reported that the cutlet is cut into easy-to-eat pieces and that the onion in the sauce retains some bite. They also note that you can choose whether to have sansho when ordering. Some diners added chilli partway through the meal to change the flavour; the bowl comes with soup, too.
Those who paired it with ramen have described a light broth, a large slice of chashu pork and a more substantial meal than they expected. You could make the cutlet rice the centrepiece, or add a lighter bowl of ramen for a fuller combination; diners have tried both. The noodle menu also includes tantanmen, described as a sesame ramen with a spicy kick, as well as mixed-topping ramen and crispy noodles topped with mixed ingredients in a thick sauce. The choice changes the balance of broth, sauce and noodles.
For a rice dish, options include mapo rice, topped with a spicy stew of minced pork and tofu, and chūkahan, rice with mixed ingredients and thick sauce. Gyoza or shumai make an easy side. This Chinese restaurant offers ways to put together a meal for lunch or dinner, depending on your appetite and what you feel like eating.
