Man oh man, this Zao is always packed with hungry and happy customers. I arrived at the peak of the lunch rush and was pleasantly surprised how quickly I raced through the long line to place my order. The staff is very engaging - welcoming guests as they hear the door open with a loud but settling greeting. I ordered the Mongolian beef as it was being pulled off the grill. The umami of the beef mixed with my favorite, secret, "tiger" sauce was phenomenal. Zao has a modern take on Asian ambiance that serves its purpose of combining Asian fusion delicacies with fast casual lifestyles. Last but certainly not least, the house-made Frescas are delicious and not to be forgotten about. I was absolutely torn on the Thai Mango and the Passion Limeade because they are both that tasty. read more

I like this place. Did they lower their portion size since we started coming here years ago-I think so? But what I like about this particular location is that well, first of all, it's in a great location with lots of options for restaurants, it's got a Harmon's and some nearby retail shops. I also love that this place has unique limited time items like the Mongolian beef. That was a really pleasant surprise. I like feeling good coming out of lunch and zao's with the fresh ingredients and veggies does just that. Service is friendly at this modern fast casual spot. There's tons of seating inside and they keep it up well, and again, with it being a tasty healthier meal along with special limited time items, it's worth stopping by this location when figuring out what to have lunch in the area. read more

I really do love the food here, however, it is ridiculously overpriced. I could go to a sitdown restaurant and get the same meal for just as much money. The thing that frustrates me the most is if you order a bowl, you get a solid 1 to 2 cups of rice and then they give you a quarter cup of sauce on top of everything and expect you to be satisfied with the amount of sauce. If they just wouldn't charge extra for sauce or an extra scoop of a topping, I would come here way more often. read more

It had been quite sometime since I had been to Zao! My husband and I were feeling something on the lighter side so we came here. The service was average. The employees didn't really seem to be that helpful or really care about their jobs too much. The food was pretty good but the portion size of the chicken was lacking in my opinion. In addition, I was given hardly any broccoli mix. I really like the yellow curry sauce. I would definitely recommend that one over the green curry sauce. The green curry sauce doesn't have too much flavor in my opinion. I really really like the crispy onions, peanuts, and cilantro on top. I would definitely like to come back give it another chance. I see a lot of people getting the tacos but those don't look very good to me, considering the fact that they give you the tiniest amount of meat and the tortillas are just some generic tortilla brand. read more

staff was rude and dismissive - spoke in different language to English to eachother. I can understand what they said and they was talking bad about us. food was decent but portions were on the smaller side, especially considering the price. read more

One of my favorite fast foods. Service is great and food is yummy. I love the bowl with brown rice and yellow curry spice.

Delish fast food spot. You build a bowl or sandwich like at Subway, but much healthier and super tasty!!! 4 stars because there were several dirty tables, but it's just because they had been busy, which is GOOD just unpleasant to look at while eating. Also the bathroom was stinky, but you can't really control that read more

Zao Asian Cafe - Spicy Ginger something with chicken - Asian Fusion Near Me - Lehi, Utah

Busy place but the fast food style food does not enhance the flavor or taste of prepared Asian food. The soup was ok. Service was good but the ambience not so good! read more

I love zaos! This place is delicious. Service is good. Kids eat free on Mondays! One time (we eat here a ton) I found a hair in my bowl (yuck) they did apologize and offer a complete refund for our whole party, which was nice. They make everything in small batches so sometimes you have to wait if they're out of something and everyone is ordering it. Their fountain drinks are delicious! read more

I went here on Monday later in the afternoon around 3 pm. It wasn't busy at all so that was nice I could easily get a front row parking spot and walk in, get my food, and walk right out in less than 5 minutes. All their ingredients were fresh and delicious. I love their yakisoba noodle bowls! I got half chicken half steak because I couldn't decide and with tiger sauce and zao way, with all the toppings. read more

Food is mediocre, nothing to brag about. If you're hungry and in a hurry this is an okay place to grab a bite. Tables and chairs are kept clean. Friendly staff ready to assemble your food as you point at the buffet style food counter. read more

The person serving didn't know even the very basics of English, like the word "inside" or "take out." She pouted unhappily when she didn't understand me and dumped the stuff into the wrap in two separate lumps like she's never made a wrap before. Really stressful experience. Will not be going back. read more

Really like their tofu bowl here. We come about 2 times a week at least, and found the place to always provide good service. No complaints! My husband really likes their steak bowl, and when we went the person was nice and gave an extra bit of veggies which really helped round out the bowl read more

I've always had excellent service at this location. The staff is super kind and they don't look at you funny when you ask nicely for extra cilantro (which everywhere they should be fine with because it's like a penny!). Tip: Get the Tiger sauce--it is the best! It's a combo of teriyaki sauce, spicy aioli, and chili sauce. It has the perfect kick. Get it so they never get rid of it. Thank you Lehi Zão for not only being considerate but providing delicious options for both the indulger and health nut! I know I can be both when I come here. read more

Zao has good food and fast service. I'd like to get a bit more food, for the buck, but it's worth a try for a twist on Asian cuisine.

Zao Asian Cafe is a nice fusion of Asian and American food. It's got a fast-casual feel, similar to many restaurants that have opened in the past decade. You walk to the counter/assembly line where you place your order and watch as it's prepared in front of you. I always get the teriyaki chicken bowl-it's delicious! Pay at the end of the line, take your drink cup to the soda machine to fill up and then find a table. Service is friendly-people seem to enjoy working there. The seating area is open and bright....and there is patio seating available too. Every other table was closed due to COVID, but there still was ample seating at lunch time. Parking lot is shared with other businesses in the complex, so it can get a little tight. read more

The upscale version of Panda Express, delicious, not as greasy, and their curry sauces are super yummy! (And a bit spicy) The staff was so very friendly and the sweet corn leaves the best taste in your mouth! They also have brownies available and all sorts of fresh drinks, sodas, or Fiji water! read more

Zao is becoming one of my favorite fast casual restaurants. The menu is simple, which I appreciate, the food is fresh and you can get a great healthy and low carb meal. The sauces are fantastic and I love the cucumber noodle base. read more

Zao is always an easy and pretty healthy option! I wouldn't say it's the most "Asian" restaurant but it does have some "Asian" things. I always get a bowl with either rice or noddles. The steak is delicious and my go to. The vegetables are cooked pretty and give great flavor. My favorite part is the potatoes! They are a MUST! I love this location and it's a great lunch spot. Definitely recommend! read more

The food was pretty good! I got the bahn mi wrap and they had healthier options for brown rice with spinach wraps. Pricing and speed to get food was pretty dang good!

Great food, service. Place was very clean too. Try their Aguas frescas. Fresh! Excellent read more

I have passed by Zao Asian Cafe locations for years...but it took me a regrettably long time to finally pop in and try it. I guess I just wasn't sure if I would like the flavors that much but boy do I?! Upon arrival, I must say, this parking lot is horrible. It is off in a little corner, always full, then there's a one way, then there's a swig line blocking you from getting out and your only option is the parking lot in front of Capriotti's...which isn't a horrible walk but definitely an inconvenience lol. I am sure the business had nothing to do with the design of the parking lot, but just beware of this when planning your visit here :) It must be because of all the offices in close proximity of this building, but it has never NOT been busy in here when I go. Which honestly, good for them. I do love the option to order pickup and have your food ready for you when you get there via the app. You also get a reaaally nice parking spot (if available) by ordering pickup ;) For the food, it is always great. I have always loved upgrading to the yakisoba noodles, with all the veggies, chicken and teriyaki sauce. Occasionally, I will get the tiger sauce too--it adds a LOT of flavor. Then I have it Zao's way with all the toppings on it. I think this part is crucial because it adds all kinds of flavor but also TEXTURE! The texture is amped up by 1000 when you have it Zao's way! One time, I got it with rice instead of the yakisoba noodles and it was very meh...so I will always upgrade my noods! Everyone is always nice and despite it being busy every time I have been there, I find that the staff is quick and the line moves very efficiently. I have never regret my visit to Zao and I do think this one is in a prime, convenient location! read more

Clean, fresh ingredients. Every location I have visited takes great care to keep their kitchen prep areas clean and highly visible as well, which is greatly appreciated. They are great with GF, 98% of their ingredients are safe. They have even made their Teriyaki sauce GF. I also enjoy their drink options, the Mango Mango being my current favorite. Will be returning, definitely. read more

My favorite is the Cucumber Lime, the Mango is also good Super clean and modern restaurant read more

Good food and friendly staff. The few times I've had to wait they gave me a free drink!

Fresh fast food that works for suburbia. Very casual atmosphere so great for lunch. Good portions and decent flavour.

It was delicious! It had smaller portions than I thought but it was delicious and healthy food!

Went there by myself and had to go back with the family later that day. Food is fresh with lots of selections. Don't forget the drinks they are also outstanding. read more

So so disappointed. Haven't had food from here in a while, it's always been so good, fresh and refreshing, But today was awful, soggy rice noodles, two and a half pieces of broccoli because they were out and the meatballs were dry,crusted and had a rancid taste/smell, they yellow curry sauce had no flavor qnd so thin that you know it was watered down, I asked for a couple extra meatballs since I had no broccoli. My bill was close to sixteen dollars. So disappointed and probably won't be going back. It's sad the corners that were cut. read more

Ordered the banh mi wrap with steak and asian tofu tacos. Was delicious & great service. Very fast. would recommend 10/10

I had been craving their steak and broccoli soup for weeks, so I placed an order online for pickup. I ordered it with extra steak and veggies. OMG. This could not have been any more perfect!!! The broth, the way the corn broccoli and onions were prepared, the overall flavor profile and steak was seriously absolute perfection! If I could eat this every day I would. Service was quick and friendly despite it being lunch rush. Great job!!! read more

My first time here, traveling through Very good food, fast friendly and patient service.
