Description
The restaurant's name references a phrase previously used as a slur for Asian Americans who are yellow-presenting but culturally white. Chef-owners Chris Ng and Kyaw Lwin bring experience from Blue Ribbon, Bond St., and the Michelin-starred Shmon, using the menu as a personal expression of Asian-American food that pairs classic Asian flavors with Western cuisine.
