Xiao Ye

"Louis Lin and Jolyn Chen’s first-generation cuisine — drawing from their experiences growing up Asian American and working in restaurants across the country — means dishes like salted egg yolk shrimp and rigatoni all’Amatriciana find a home at the same table. Mini madeleines, a menu staple, are fashioned from masa and mochiko and serve as a sweet-savory start to the meal. Once a month, diners are drawn in for a burger special, ephemeral creations like jalapeno popper burgers and Lin’s take on an In-N-Out double double. Xiao Ye translates to midnight snack, which captures the restaurant’s mission to welcome diners to connect with loved ones and friends over unexpected flavor combinations."
