    After reading the great reviews for Yang's on Yelp I decided to have lunch with a friend at this restaurant today. It's conveniently located right across from Vaughan Mills so you can drop by after your shopping adventures.

    We opted for teppanyaki after I had a disappointing first experience at Tako Sushi. I was really hoping that the chef would do tricks and he sure did! The teppanyaki order comes with miso soup, salad, mixed vegetables, and rice. We both ordered the chicken fillet order while I added the jumbo shrimps (seafood lover!). We also ordered the dynamite and spider rolls to share.

    The chef was very friendly and told us ahead of time when he was about to do a trick so we could take pictures. He even encouraged us to go behind the grill and try some of the tricks. My friend and I didn't want to do it because we knew that we would embarrass ourselves haha. The chef even tossed vegetables into people's mouths which was VERY entertaining.

    The salad dressing was pretty good but the lettuce didn't seem fresh. The chicken and shrimps were juicy, delicious and not even slightly dry! The sushi rolls were a bit on the big size so I wouldn't suggest trying to stuff an entire one in your mouth during a date.

    The only "negative" thing is that it was a bit cramped in the teppanyaki room.

    Overall, this place is great and since the chef did tricks and was fun, I give it 5 stars!

    I thought this place was great. Sushi was excellent. Had one of the sushi combos. Nice variety of fish and very fresh. My friend had a bento box of various meats and he liked it. Service was great but we were there during off hours. Restaurant was very modern and clean. I will be back soon. A little more expensive but worth every penny. Highly recommended.

    I've been here maybe 3 or 4 times. Services isn't the best. It's run by young Chinese people who treat you as thought you're eating at a Hong Kong cafe. I don't think they've ever really said thank you, can't suggest anything on the menu and are not very people friendly.

    So with that aside, the food is not too bad.  Some of their rolls are medeocre and their hot foods are too. Oysters are good, but how can you get that wrong? They serve the cheapest icecream possible.  For the cost of the menu items you'd figure they'd serve at least Mario's Gelato or something.

    Definitely have had better.  I'm pretty picky with sushi so I guess with the ambiance you'd expect a lot more!!

    I went here twice and both times had just the sushi (not the teppanaki so I can't comment on it)
    However, the sushi was high quality and the taste was wonderful
    We started with the Kani salad, which was def the best Kani salad I have ever had but the portion was quite small
    We had sashimi which was fresh and very tender (we were impressed)
    In terms of sushi, everything was good (we usually get dynamite rolls, dragon rolls and 1 or 2 other "specialty" type rolls) Here, we had the "volcano roll", which is California rolls topped with a hot, spicy seafood medley
    Definitely the best sushi here

    It is pricey but is quite comparable to other higher-end restaurants such as Ginza

    Sushi is yummy, and the teppanyaki is fresh and fun to watch.
    the decor is also really cool and chic!
    A great place to go with friends.

    Sexy sushi and fire! Going to the suburbs pays off!

    Across from Vaughn Mills mall, Yang's is a teppanyaki and sushi restaurant that exceeded my expectations. Upscale service and atmosphere are a welcome change to the regular old sushi joints. The prices are a bit steep, but the sushi is excellent and the selectionis  fantastic. Families and large parties seated around the teppanyaki grills were laughing and chatting, the fun atmosphere and sleek design will have me coming back when I need my outlet mall fix.

    And then I tried the Teppanyaki!  

    Incredibly entertaining.  There was lots of customer participation and food was being thrown every which way.  Lots of laughing and learning and, of course, eating.

    Great service yet again.  I highly recommend the Teppanyaki dinner here for a group gathering (ideally 8 people).

    I went there for a birthday once and it was a very interesting experience. First of all, if you can get a table where they cook food right in front of you - make sure you're there! It is sort of like a show with flames and food games! Staff is super-friendly!!! They couldn't find my receipt at the end and there was a little bit of confusion on whether i paid or not. They did find a proof of payment and as an apology they brought me a cocktail! That was sweet of them!
    Food was delish - i jsut wish the portions were a bit bigger!

    The Teppanyaki was good and had a lot of interaction with our group. There is a large variety for the teppanyaki and sushi. The cost was higher and expected a higher level of service from the waitress and the cooks. Overall it was a good experience with decent fresh food.

    Come in with the mindset that it is a Japanese RESTAURANT!  It is not an AYCE Japanese Restrauant.  It is not a Japanese Ramen Restaurant.  It is not a Japanese Izakaya Restaurant.

    They offer Teppanyaki, Sushi, Sashimi, and Set Meals.  Expect to pay the price for the meal which I believe to be somewhat pricey but the service and the detail to attention does warrant such cost.

    I had a couple Lunch experiences here as if I BOOKED the whole restaurant for my friend and I.  The decor is EXCELLENT however when the place is so empty it feels as if all the eyes of the staff are solely on your table.  

    I mean I see the 2 Sushi Chefs at the Sushi Counter but what can they really be BUSY doing if we didn't even order much raw fish items?  This place is definitely NOT the same as their original AYCE location in Markham.

    I give the food a GOOD rating which are nicely presented but for lunch all I can really afford is their CHEAPEST Bento set.  Yang's immediate neighbours are mostly inexpensive restaurants except for maybe Peak Top Restaurant.

    I went there once for mothers day having teppanyaki and another time for Sushi. The teppanyaki was entertaining to watch as the chef creates a fire volcano and launches egg into open mouths. However, it was very expensive costing over $50 per person. The food was fast grilled but it didn't feel worth the price tag. An experience I likely wouldn't pay that much money for again.

    My second visit was much more enjoyable.This time I ordered the volcano sushi and it was delicious. Between myself and another person we paid $40 per person which included two $8 glasses of wine. I also had the spicy salmon which was just as good.

    Overall I recommend Yang's for the sushi but not the teppanyaki.

    Today I called for take-out during lunchtime.  I was told when I went to pick up my order that it would be $23 rather then the $18 on the website (Maki Set B).
    The manager (?) would not honour the price advertized on the website and chose to send me away for a cost of $5 to the restaurant.

    Even after I showed him the online price on my blackberry!!

    You won't catch me in there ever again!!!

    I went to Yang's out of curiosity really. I was craving terriyaki and there isn't much to choose rom in vaughan without worrying about msg. I walked in with my husband and the hostess was super kind and friendly she pulled out a menu and started explaining all that yang's has to offer. she explained how things were made, what the pricing was like, where to sit etc. and it was all we needed to be convinced that we wanted to try this place out!!
    So we chose the teppanyaki...located at the south-end of the restaurant they are seats located around a cooking station. They have about 5-6 cooking stations and basically it's dinner and a show.

    The prices are a bit steep but you get what you pay for!
    The chicken teppanyaki starts at about $18 and the prices can go upto almost $40/ person but it all depends on what you want.
    We had the sirloin steak teppanyaki and it was amazing.
    The prices for tepanyaki include the plate of choice,miso soup (cream of tofu...and I dont like tofu but I could not taste it in the soup). salad, mixed grilled veggies and salmon fried rice. This was one of the best meals I've had at any japanese restaurant and it was so entertaining.
    You sit and a chef comes to your circle sets up at the cooking station and prepares your meal before your eyes...except with a bit of flare. He makes an onion volcanoe, he throws veggies at your to catch in your mouth, he spins eggs and cracks them in the air...and best of all everything cooked is placed on a serving plate in front of you so you can take your time and eat and the food won't be crowded on your plate.
    I recommend this place hands down!!
