Had such a great experience at Yao Asian! From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations…read more The service was incredibly quick without feeling rushed, which made the whole meal feel easy and enjoyable. As someone who's gluten-free, I was especially impressed by the variety of options available. The gluten-free Thai basil chicken was packed with flavor, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. The gluten-free fried rice was fresh and satisfying, and the gluten-free chicken pad Thai was honestly one of the best I've had--super flavorful, not overly sweet, and cooked just right. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and welcoming--great for a casual dinner that still feels a little elevated. On top of that, the pricing was very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Huge bonus: they offer free parking for up to three hours just steps from the restaurant, which made the whole experience even more convenient. I'll absolutely be back, if we ever return to Lennox. This spot is a gem, especially if you're looking for delicious gluten-free Asian cuisine!

Nice people. Can be very noisy but seating is comfortable…read more The food is just passable. Quite frankly, there's very little sushi worth eating in the Berkshires. Cooked Asian food at Jaes is quite good, much superior to Yao.

A simple side salad with an amazing house made dressing becomes a treat. The shrimp tacos are seasoned like no other and burst with flavor. The bibimbop--of which I'm no expert--is pleasing & surprisingly filling--just right for pre-theater dinner (Barrington Stage a block away). The mixed drinks (per my companions) are both original & delicious. The last night we were there the owner/bartender/chef was by herself yet service was friendly, personal and efficient. What else can you ask for?

There's a parking lot and some gorgeous decor inside. The restrooms are sparkling clean. The service is top-notch and the staff is happy to answer any questions about allergies. And the food... yummy. My party of 6 enjoyed pork, duck, and beef. We passed each others plates in a circle and sampled everything. I was a big fan of the salmon at Van's and almost went with that at Saigon but was convinced to try something different so I went with the pork. I'm not usually a pork fan but I've had Vietnamese pork before and enjoyed it. The pork here was perfection. There are so many dining options in Clifton park but if you have the opportunity to check out Saigon Spring, you absolutely should

I enjoyed my usual small bowl of Shrimp and Pork Wonton Soup ($8.00) with tender dumplings, egg noodles, scallions, cilantro, and crispy shallots in a flavorful broth. Best ever. Upon my recommendation, we both ordered the Shaking Beef, or Bò Lúc Lắc, ($25.) which is a delicious Vietnamese dish of marbled cubes of beef tossed in all the good stuff: soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, a little sugar, butter, garlic, and black pepper. Everything is shaken around in the wok to get a nice all-around sear, hence the name...Shaking Beef! We enjoyed it with Brown Rice instead of Jasmine. Kudos: The cubed filet mignon was cooked perfectly; it was tender and pink in middle. Outstanding! Two reactions: --I did not like the lime dipping sauce because it was very salty (grains of Sea Salt intact)served in a small dish that was on the plate, so next time I will order another type of sauce. However, the beef was flavorful without it. --There were too many sliced red onions and not enough spring onions. Our two orders to go (Pho with Filet and Chicken Wings) were ready when we finished lunch. Grandsons were delighted! Service was efficient and courteous as usual.

It was very busy for lunch time .We got seated near the bar unfortunately there was a child having a bit of a meltdown so we asked to move to the back room which they graciously did.

I would definitely return if I am in the area again.

Was skeptical on semi-off-the-beaten path location and look of the adjoining businesses in the strip mall - but now love the place more due to it. Don't let the outside fool you. Beautiful and clean inside. Outstanding service and quality. Fair prices for the portion, yet they are not taking advantage of the customer. Really good. Really positive experience. Will absolutely be back.

Food was good. But there were some issues. We got 2 Hibachi Combos. One chicken and one shrimp. It…read morewas a generous display of side items like fried rice, vegetables, seaweed salad, soup and tempura shrimp. The shrimp hibachi was $20. The chicken hibachi was $16.99 however, the proteins were not generous in comparison to everything else. The shrimp was also hard and terribly overcooked and the chicken was very dry and only about nine or 10 very thin little strips. The protein should have been the star of the dishes. I hope they take note of this review and improve their hibachi dinners.

My review follows the majority with a four star rating…read more The food, service and modern ambiance, were all very good. The wife and I only had the BBQ option. I loved the beef ribs and the marinated meats were all great. The reason for not giving it the last, final, fifth star, was because of the price. Fully realizing food prices are skyrocketing right now, the price and the pricing structure(s) are still my reason for not giving that last star. I would advise simplifying the prices into flat lunch and dinner rates. Wide selection of very good options and a go to for really good KBBQ with the my favorite the beef ribs. I would definitely recommend this place.

That server went out of her way to make the experience meaningful. The food is also alright. I liked everything I ordered as far as taste, no real complaints there. I just wish that the food that was supposed to be hot was served hot and some of the meat was really fatty and sinewy. I loved that I got to order endless green tea and they had mini crème brûlée for dessert which I thought was a total win! They are super tiny so if you order the maximum of two that you are allowed then it is almost the size of one anywhere else. If you are a big eater then I think this is a really good deal for the price. If you're not then you could feel it's a bit pricey. Overall I would recommend trying it!
