Yi Xin Cafe

Yi Xin Cafe has the frozen teddy bear drinks which come in a lemon tea or milk tea. They serve Southeast Asian cuisine and their specialty is the curry crab. I enjoy coming here with a group since they have tables that can accommodate 8 - 10 people. I've also been here for quick lunches with 2-3 people. Their menu has a lot of Cantonese food which I love but my favorites are the salted egg yolk chicken wings, salt & pepper pork chops, and the sizzling beef with black bean sauce. Their crab dishes are delicious but it's pricey at $68 - $73 for 1 Dungeness crab. Their other dishes are reasonably priced compared to other Chinese restaurants. 

Their dining is modern and spacious. It can get loud if the restaurant fills up. If you're going with 4 people or less, doing a walk in for lunch or dinner is fine. If you have 5 or more, I recommend making a reservation since they do get busy. They may not have crab available everyday so if you're going there from crab, make sure you ask them or pre-order it. The staff can speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. They are located at Market City Shopping Center. There is ample parking but the spaces are tight and if the upper lot fills up, you can park by Ben Franklin.
