Yến: Vietnamese Street Food Staying True to Its Roots in Greenacres

Tucked along Lake Worth Road, Yen (also known to regulars as Yến's Kitchen or YK Street Food) has quietly built a loyal following serving Vietnamese street food in Greenacres. The restaurant has been at it long enough to celebrate a milestone anniversary, a sign of the steady following it's built in the neighborhood.

Street Food, Straight Up

The kitchen focuses on authentic Vietnamese street food, presented on a bilingual English and Vietnamese menu that speaks to the restaurant's roots and its community. Photo galleries on the restaurant's own site — labeled "From the Street" — lean into that identity, framing the food as an extension of Vietnamese street culture rather than a Westernized take on it.

An Unconventional Schedule

One quirk regulars come to expect: Yen closes every Thursday, which the restaurant calls its "Sleep Day." The rest of the week it's open from 11 AM to 9 PM, Monday through Wednesday and Friday through Sunday, with online ordering available for pickup.

Good to Know

Yen is located at 7364 Lake Worth Rd, Greenacres, FL 33467. It's a reliable choice for anyone seeking genuine Vietnamese street food in a casual, no-frills setting — just remember to plan around the Thursday closure.
