Yangguofu, also known as YGF, is a Chinese fast-casual restaurant brand specializing in malatang, a customizable soup dish. Customers choose vegetables, meats, noodles, and other ingredients, then select a broth such as Sichuan mala, beef bone, or tomato.

Founded in 2003 in Harbin, China, the business began as a street-side food stall. Yang Guofu developed a signature broth and introduced a weight-based system for choosing ingredients. The original concept emphasized freshly prepared bowls shaped by each customer's preferences.

Yangguofu later established a food production facility in Chengdu to standardize ingredients and preparation. The brand also developed its restaurant operations around consistent recipes, distinctive interiors, and a self-selection dining experience. Its U.S. franchise program operates under the YGF and Yangguofu names.
