A throwback to the 1930s, Yin emanates soft, jazzy decadence with its antique furnishings,
Song-dynasty-style tableware and Ella Fitzgerald on the stereo. But here they're as much

back from the days before MSG - and prepares standout regional dishes from across China,
including the superbly named 'squid lost in a sandstorm'.

The wackiest maki rolls in town: try out the Ninja (shrimp, crab and a killer spicy sauce),
the Clayton (shiitake mushrooms, snow crab and scorched white tuna), the Sweepee (sweet
potatoes, avocado and sesame seeds) or, for the indecisive, Pimp My Roll (everything).
Book ahead.
