Our Team
Founder
Xiao Lu, Yang, the founder of Yang’s Braised Chicken Rice encountered his time in the kitchen since he was a little boy. His family owned a very famous restaurant back in the 1930’s, and Huang Men Braised Chicken was one of the signature dishes at the time, so he had grown up around it. Even learned how to cook by watching his grandmother in their family kitchen.
Under the great influence of his grand mother, Yang continued in the culinary field after grown up. After managing several five-star hotel kitchens, he opened several restaurants. During these years, it became clear that Huang Men chicken was always by far the most popular dish on the menu. When he decided to open Yang’s Braised Chicken Rice, he narrowed the menu down to only one dish: braised chicken with rice. Since then, he had created so many great relationships with hundreds of communities across a variety of different countries from our single and wildly popular dish, and he’s forever grateful for the skills and love of cooking his grandmother had taught him.
CEO
Xinyu Zhang, CEO of Yang’s Braised Chicken Rice USA Group, has helped to grow the brand for 4 years for International expansion. He successfully brought the first United States location to Tustin, California in September of 2017 and plans to continue to grow the concept across the country.
