If looking for Chinese food in Gilbert you should definitely try out Yao! Large portions and great prices! Our favorite was the Orange Chicken. They were big pieces and it was white meat chicken. The shrimp in the dishes were big. The fried rice and chow mein were flavorful. The kung pao was a bit too saucy, but great with white rice. Super friendly and quick service. Lots of seating available for all party sizes. Will be checking this place out again! read more

Solid neighborhood Chinese. Definitely hits the spot and all the dishes were good. No wait time during peak dinner but it was very busy throughout the restaurant. *orange chicken - large and delicious *low mein - standard noodle with chicken and veges *walnut shrimp - personally wished it was sauced less, but flavors were good *fried rice - must have if you like fried rice' read more

My group of 18 people had dinner at Yao Fine Chinese Cuisine on June 20th. They were ready for us and the food and service were excellent. Everyone commented on the amount of food served and almost everyone took food home in a box. Highly recommend! read more

We were craving some good Asian food for Friday lunch and found this spot based on a Yelp suggestion. We walked in around 12:45 pm and the place was packed, mostly with a lively senior crowd, looked like there was a party going on! Service was super quick and the pricing is honestly unbeatable. We started with the egg drop soup, which had great flavor. For our mains, we ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and Chow Mein. Both plates came with spring rolls and a crab wonton puff. The crab puff was surprisingly good lots of filling compared to most place and the spring roll was just as tasty. The portion sizes looked a bit small at first, but the food turned out to be quite filling. Both entrées were flavorful and well-prepared. Overall, it's a solid mom-and-pop restaurant with fast service, good food, and fantastic pricing. A great little find for a casual lunch! read more

Our first time here yesterday we drove from mesa and it was worth the drive! We got the family deal the breading on the fried shrimp and orange chicken was so amazing! It doesn't make you feel yucky and its very light but very crunchy and amazing! We ended up with orange chicken and Mongolian beef and both were so good! It is definitely one of our favorite places now. The service was excellent, they were quick to bring the food too and everything was so hot! We will be back! read more

The food here is always great; however, about 50 percent of the time they will mess up your order. Make sure you check your order before you leave the restaurant lol. read more

I really want to gatekeep this amazing Chinese food spot. But I wanted to be a successful. We always go every several months or we have a tradition that every Christmas Eve we go to this location. The food alone is a die for. Everything here is delicious the fried rice, the soups the beef and broccoli is amazing. The orange chicken is great the honey walnut shrimp is awesome. I love the people in front that really helpful. Inside is a very classic Chinese food spot the bigger the table. You have the Susan in the middle to spin around to serve people. I love it. It makes me feel like when I was a kid having food with my parents after church. would absolutely recommend this spot for any occasion. read more

My favorite Chinese food in the East Valley! Love their Singapore noodles and beef and broccoli . Employees are very nice and helpful.

Service was awesome., Food is great. I always have the shrimp in lobster sauce extra garlic read more

They need to deep clean - it smells rotten in the dining area. Food is delicious, service is always nice. But god'dang it stinks - like old food or rotten sewage , it's an older restaurant and they've been around for years. They probably could use a little update along with a plug-in to mask the stench. read more

Our family loves Yao's and goes there every week. The food is delicious and the ladies who work there are always very friendly and welcoming. The portions are great and they will always personalize them for your taste. I highly recommend this place. read more

The atmosphere was nice inside with a lot of tables and booth seating. Our server was very quick and efficient for a busy lunch rush. The food was okay. The chicken was dark meat and little over cooked on both dishes, which made it chewy. My lo mein noodles could of had more spice or flavor to them, they were a little bland. The spring roll and crab wonton were awesome and super hot (fresh to order). I would come back and give this place a second chance but I would opt for a beef or all veggie dish instead. Lunch special is a great deal for the amount of food you get! read more

First time, double pan noodles and pit stickers, delicious. To go order was ready in 15 minutes and staff was so friendly. Would recommend! read more

We ordered our usual order for pick up tonight since we bought the UFC fight & didn't want to cook. As always it was so good. We have never had bad food from here in all the years we have been ordering from here. This is the only place we will get Chinese food from. We've tried several others, but none are even close to begin as good. read more

All in all just ok, we ordered the family style, I asked if we could add veggies to the fried rice for up charge- answer- no ok, well can I order a side of steamed veggies yes- which I did but I don't like being told no for 1 if I'm paying extra anyway just say yes. So I stirred veggies in myself when it came, sweet n sour was tasty, Mongolian beef- Ive had better- Sake came in the smallest Sake carafe I've ever seen- tried it one n done- not terrible but just not for us read more

Good evening all, it was one of those evenings were I or Jen didn't want to cook so we decided Yao's, we've been here before but I never have done a review so thought it was due for one, I've never been disappointed in the past with any of my selection so tonight thought I'd try something different. I had the Curry Chicken and was very happy with the dish and recommend it to try, Jen had the beef and Broccoli which was good but would like to have a bit more beef with the dish, the restaurant it self is nice place for dining in so we usually do as I like to sit and enjoy my dinner with Jen. So if you're in the mood for some Chinese give Yao a try and hopefully you'll be happy with your selection as we were. read more

I enjoyed the egg flower soup a lot. However, the fried rice and pepper steak were not good. The cut of meat is not very high quality. Just ok place read more

Fast ready and waiting when I arrived. The food was outstanding as always. Enough left to have a second meal

We are regulars, the staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is always hot, fresh and delicious!

What happened? Was there a new chef last night? The food was bland, lacked any real spice or taste, the sesame chicken was horribly mushy and doughy. This is the first time I was so unhappy with my food from here. I can not believe how lacking in taste the food was. Chinese from Fry's frozen section would have had more taste. So disappointed in my order of about $55. read more

I like Yao the girls that work there I tend to have a good relationship with it helps and they give good service food is good and portions are plenty .. like with everything used to be out lunch spot but now prices are at 11 dollars for lunch plates we tend to find other places to go .. read more

We are a big fan of the egg rolls. Not too many places have good egg rolls. Unfortunately, none of our egg rolls were anywhere near as large as some of the photos people have shared. But still very good. Would like the large ones next time. Other food was ok. read more

Arrived about 30min to close which I usually try to avoid. Place was pretty empty which helped get attentive service. Inside decorations are a little bland. I ordered the lo mein and others got ginger chicken and general (Tso) chicken. The noodles were great and the chicken and veggies were all good sized and fresh as well. The egg roll was also good but only had a few bites as I didn't want anything deep fried. Hot and sour soup was good but only had 1 tofu cube in it. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Had a little left for take home. Will likely repeat and try a different dish. read more

It's hard to find good Chinese food in AZ (especially when I grew up on Chinese food from San Francisco China Town) - but I have found the place! Yao's was SO delicious and I was very impressed with the flavor! My whole family loved it and the portions are good size for the price! We have found our new favorite place! read more

This is old school Chinese food. Everything will be served hot and fresh with all the delicious flavors and textures you're looking for. Combo meals are the way to go. read more

Went with a friend for lunch and we were both extremely disappointed. We ordered food to go. Here are the issues; 1. Staff needs customer service training. My friend asked for shrimp to be added to her meal and asked how much it would be. The woman who was taking our orders said $1. My friend had already paid so I asked her to charge me the $1 and she said no. Then told us that it was $1 PER SHRIMP. Thats ridiculous and I feel Like she just made that up to price gouge. My friend said nevermind then. She had an attitude after that and practically threw our food at us when it was ready. Disgusting. 2. I'm quite sure that I read reviews stating that this place has generous portions. No it does not. At least not the lunch portions. It's cheap but the container is small in attempt to make it look like there's more food than there is. The crab wonton is TINY. Fried rice is terrible and dry and skimps on everything. 3. More detail about the food itself; fried rice is terrible. Very small amount of egg, nothing else. It had like 1/16th of an egg in my small Scoop of rice. Bland, no veggies. Egg roll; weird. Don't finish. Filling was different. Sweet and sour chicken; sauce tasted more like orange chicken sauce and color was off. Generous pineapple and peppers in it and chicken was good. Wonton; tiny. Will NOT be back and my biggest reason is the horrible customer service! read more

Very average. I got the beef and broccoli dinner combo. You get two crab rangoon, which were standard, and an egg roll, which was also pretty basic. The beef and broccoli was forgettable. The beef was sort of mushy and the sauce was bland. I would never order that again. I might give this place another shot, but I'd definitely order something else and keep my expectations low. read more

We have been coming to Yaos for years, they are super quick and friendly and the food is consistent. Our favorite is the pork fried rice - it's a really big portion too. read more

Was recommended by a friend, so tried it out for the first time. The place was clean and had a friendly staff. The server got our order correct. She was knowledgeable about the dishes. I started out with the hot and sour soup. It did have a good flavor and it was nice and hot. For my main dish, I had pork chow mein with fried rice. The chow mein had a good flavor and well portioned but the rice was bland with no flavor. My wife had Kung Pao chicken. That was also very tasteful and hot. Her rice was the same. The dishes came with a crab puff, and a spring roll. The crab puff too much cream cheese. The spring roll was really good. The prices are fair for the location will come back for seconds. read more

Aww the ladies that work here are so sweet, friendly & warm. They remind me of my Grandma. She is no longer with me. We used to have a spot that my family and I would go to in the Bay Area called Double Dragon in Antioch. This place probably comes close. This restaurant gives me the warm & fuzzy feeling that I'm home. The food is amazing. It arrived within the first 5 minutes of ordering. Everything was fast and high quality. The service is outstanding. I used to go here all the time when they were only doing Togo orders. It's so refreshing to actually sit and dine here, now that the restaurant is fully open. Please help their business & check out this hidden gem! Plus they're a bunch of sweethearts:) & maybe give them a superb review too? ;) read more
