Beloved south Sacramento Taiwanese restaurant closes its doors after 9-year-run
Yang’s Noodles, a beloved Sacramento hole-in-the wall, recently shut its doors after serving up Taiwanese dishes for the last nine years.
Few places in the city serve Taiwanese food — and Yang’s was arguably one of the best. While known for its famous beef noodle soup, the restaurant’s menu also featured popular delicacies like the thousand-year-old egg and the cumin lamb roll, which came wrapped in a scallion pancake.
In 2021, the Bee included Yang’s in its best 50 restaurants guide for having some of the “best Taiwanese, northern Chinese and Sichuan flavors.”
When The Bee visited the restaurant in March, the restaurant had stopped selling lamb rolls and no longer made handmade noodles.
Heaps of fallen insulation and cardboard were visible on Monday inside the once-homey, brightly lit south Sacramento restaurant at 5860 Stockton Blvd.
While Yang’s Noodles may be closed, there are still ways to enjoy Taiwanese cuisine in the city. Lucky Jade, located on 7007 S Land Park Drive, is another south Sacramento establishment that sells beef noodle soup along with lamb rolls.
