Yin Tang is a Spicy Beef Bone Broth based. You have tons of options to choose to be put inside your personal bowl to be cooked in the very savory broth. After you hand picked your ingredients yourself, then you can select either beef bone broth and tomato broth, and then the spicy level. I visit this place at least once a week and I am sure you will be longing to go back again!
