    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'

    This is the closest Chinese restaurant that I could find that served the an fried noodles my daughter likes.. The service was decent and food is better than any other places near our area that we've been too... I like the size of their cream cheese wontons and egg rolls.. it's defin bigger than other places.

    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.

    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!

    Ask the Community - Yao Fine Chinese Cuisine

    Do you offer delivery on orders? Would be really great if Yao did or at least partner with Uber Eats or GrubHub.

    With the restrictions, what time do they open for take out?

    I could not tell you because I have not dined there in the past couple of months. Call the restaurant.

    This place has been on my wishlist for almost a year, and I was so excited to try the AYCE dim sum…read moretoday. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed :( To start, this restaurant is located in a large shopping center, so there is plenty of parking. We came as a party of 4 on a Saturday during lunch and were seated immediately. We sent our orders to the kitchen ourselves with a tablet, which is nice because you don't have to wait for the server each time you want to order more food. Unfortunately, when we received our first round of orders, more than half the dishes were cold, almost as if they've been sitting out for awhile. Even our egg drop soup wasn't warm, which was super disappointing. After we placed our second round of orders, I respectfully asked the server if they could make sure the food comes out warm this time since the first round was so cold. She was apologetic and agreed to let the kitchen know. Our second round was much better. The food was warm, but the first round of food made such a bad impression, I kinda already lost my appetite. Also, the server informed us that they charge an extra fee for any leftover food, even if it's just ONE dumpling. I found this rule to be pretty outrageous to charge an extra fee for just one uneaten dumpling. It's sad to say I will not be coming back here again. After seeing this place all over social media, I was so excited to try it. But unfortunately, I was disappointed. If you are thinking about trying this place, maybe don't do the AYCE option.

    Came for lunch to try their all you can eat, it was $21.99 per person. The space is very open with…read moreplenty of seating, but very dim lighting inside. Service was a bit on the slower side, but there was only one lady helping at the front and assisting customers. Starting with the favorites: Dan Dan noodles were a tad salty but overall had great flavor The orange chicken and general tso's chicken were both really good and had a sweet sauce to them. I like that the general tso's came with some peppers and celery. Fried shrimp was crispy and loved the batter Fried golden buns were divine. Fried and crispy with a side of condensed milk. The not so favorites: Beef fried rice was horrible, had some kind of chemical taste and the beef cut is very cheap and flabby, yup I said it. Crab puffs, umm where was the crab? Fiery beef noodles were subpar, again with the cheap beef And unfortunately the dumplings are nothing to brag about. Lacked much flavored to the fillings, you aren't missing anything. I would say overall, give it a shot for lunch and you can try a bunch of options to find what you may like.

We were also very happy with the value that we got for our food. We ordered a Kung Pao Chicken lunch special, a Chicken and Vegetable lunch special, and the Golden Fried Prawns appetizer. They have lunch specials that are from 11am-3pm Tuesday-Friday and are amazing. The entrees coming with an egg roll and soup or a salad (which were also both amazing). The service was spectacular. They kept our waters full and never kept us waiting. The food also came out exceptionally quick and they were happy to answer any questions. Lastly, the ambiance is great. They have nightly entertainment and comfortable seating that make this the perfect outing. There is plenty of light and it is the nice casual vibe for lunch or dinner. If you are looking for a new restaurant, this is for sure one to try.

We thought the salt and pepper pork was too dry or overcooked. And it doesn't seem fair to rate general Tso as it's a fried dish and by the time you eat it 40 minutes later, it's not crispy anymore. It was pretty good as we threw it in the air fryer to crisp it up. The staff was friendly and our food was ready in about 12 minutes. I can see why this place is popular.

    I had seen reviews and pictures about the garlic chicken and told my daughter about it so that is…read morewhat we planned to order. I planned to place my order online and did not see the garlic chicken, just garlic shrimp. I was super disappointed. My daughter told me to just order whatever and I knew she had never had moo shu chicken and this is a dish I love so I decided to go with that. Needless to say, this restaurants moo shu chicken was not like any other moo shu I have ever had. I mean the crepe and plum sauce was the same but the chicken and veggies were different and not in a good way. The flavor was mild and the plum sauce that was spread on the crepe saved this dish. What was disappointing was they gave us one small condiment cup of plum sauce and it wasn't even filled to the top. It was enough for two crepes and we had 6 crepes and chicken and veggies to fill all the crepes. If the plum sauce was what saved this dish imagine my disappointment in not having enough plum sauce for the remaining crepes. They definitely need to give a larger portion of plum sauce. I have turned my daughter on to egg drop soup and she loves it from our usual Chinese restaurant so she wanted to try it here. This egg drop had corn and tofu (we think, but not sure) in it. It was very bland. She had to add soy sauce to it to spruce up the flavor. We always order wonton chips for egg drop soup and did this time too. Their wonton chips were bland as well. Lastly, we ordered crab puffs and the same wonton shells were used for the crab puffs. Just another item that was bland. If I could get the garlic chicken I would try this place again but since I can't I don't foresee us ordering from here again. We will drive a few miles down the street to get our favorite place.
