YangGuoFu (also known as YGF Malatang), a chain of build-your-own malatang bowls, has announced a delay of the soft open of itss first Pittsburgh-area location in Squirrel Hill from November 8 to Thursday, November 12, at 11:30 am.
Founded in 2003 in Harbin, China, YGF Malatang began as a humble street-side stall built on one belief: great food should be fresh, flavorful, and uniquely yours. We handpicked ingredients, simmered broth daily, and let guests craft their own bowls — interactive, vibrant, and deeply personal. That founding spirit — individuality and flavor discovery — drives us today as we bring authentic Malatang to the Americas. At YGF, every bowl is crafted fresh and unmistakably yours.It will be located at 5870 Forbes Ave. (map) in what was most recently Evelyn James Interiors. Signage first went up in Squirrel Hill in November 2025. There are over 6,000 YGF Malatang restaurants worldwide, and locations in New York, California, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Washington.
