Yang Garden sits up near 187th Street, offering a slightly broader menu than many nearby Chinese takeouts along with attention to allergies and special requests. It’s where locals call when they want lo mein, sesame chicken, and fried rice that feel a bit fresher without losing the comfort-food factor.
