    SKITTLES TASTE THE RAINBOW. ft. shiny happy people holding hands ok not holding hands but the workers did triple check if i wanted pickled onions so very close

    a bowl of food

    Food: tasty (it's like an Asian chipotle). Service: average. Ambiance: chipotle-like (but Asian).

    Green curry with tofu

    Am a regular here and all of the other Zao's around town. Don't know why I never remembered to check in on Yelp. Quality of the food, fast service, safe ingredients are all found in this establishment. Wished they would bring back their Thai iced tea. They knew how to make it so strong and bold. Will be back for sure!

    Salad with tofu, jalapeños and chili lemon grass dressing

    Hands down, Zao is one of my favorite places to eat. Their food is fresh, flavorful and the service is quick and spot on! I've never had an incorrect order. My favorite thing to get is their salad with tofu, jalapeños and chili lemon grass dressing!! Whether you're dining in, getting to go or ordering online, it all tastes great!! All of their locations are equally good and consistent!

    Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was one other person in here. First thoughts were that the place looks neat and clean. They had two people behind the counter that were very helpful and respectful. Since it was my first time here, I didn't really know the tastes. I was really curious about the meatballs and what they tasted like so the man behind the counter gave me a sample without any hesitation. I ordered the bowl with brown rice, carrots, a full order of chicken and meatballs, cilantro, topped off with their yellow curry. Such a good bowl! The flavors were awesome. I couldn't finish the bowl because they put tons of rice. That's the only reason I docked them one star- too much rice. Rice is a filler that most places pile on because it's cheap, so it looks like your getting tons of food. Next time, I'll ask for light rice. Overall, good food, clean tables and chairs, spacious, respectful and helpful staff. I'll come back for sure.

    We love Zao. I always get the rice bowl with Tofu, it's always fast and easy and delicious. We get take out from Zao probably once a week!

    Been craving the food here, ESPECIALLY THE PLANTAINS ever since I ate here a few days ago. First…read morethe service was very kind, and good vibes in the restaurant. My drink was SOOO good I wish I remembered the name but it was a creamy cocktail. Three of us shared the enchanted platter for 3 which was definitely enough food. Every part was soooo delicious. All the flavors blended together so well. Highly recommend and definitely want to come back in the future.

    We visited Encanto on our quest to get a hot dog in every State Capital; this being our Salt Lake…read moreCity stop. It was a Sunday evening and, not surprisingly, many other hot dog places in the city were closed but we were thrilled to find Encanto. It's a cute little spot surrounded by lovely neighborhoods and it was doing good business on the evening of our visit. The inside is bright and welcoming, relatively small accommodating maybe 40 max. There was one server and she seemed pretty busy. It took a bit of time for her to come get visit our table so we placed our drink orders and food at the same time. We had a couple of questions about the menu but there was a bit of a language barrier. Never fear because everything ended being good. We had a Hot Dog and Ring of Fire Dog and we both opted for a salad for our side. I asked for the habanero sauce on the side, but I thing it was just left off completely. The salads were great. I loved the chickpeas and the dressing that comes with them was super flavorful and light. Would definitely recommend. The hot dogs were really good too. BIG! We had a footlong dog for lunch and these were almost the same size. All of the toppings really worked well together. I loved how creamy mine was with the melted cheese, guac and aji sauce. I know it's my own fault for asking not to have the Habanero sauce but I wish the Ring of Fire Dog had been spicier. Oh well! I'd definitely come back here to drive other parts of their authentic delicious menu.

    Absolutely one of my favorite local spots--this is where I take everyone who visits from out of…read moretown, and I've yet to see a single person leave unhappy (or hungry). Best way to describe it? Cafe Rio meets loaded baked potatoes meets comfort food done right. You build your potato base exactly how you want it (baked, fries, tots, sweet potato, etc) with options that feel indulgent and plenty that feel clean, healthy, and gluten-free--with no gluten-free upcharge, which deserves its own applause. Bonus: it's so good you forget it's gluten-free in the first place. The vibe is bright, upbeat, and casual, and the fully loaded soda bar is half the fun--mix-and-match sodas and syrups like a kid in a candy shop, but with adult self-control (or not). Do not skip the cornbread with homemade honey butter. I repeat: do. not. skip. it. That cornbread alone could start a fan club. You'll often see Todd, the owner, working the line or ringing people up--super friendly, genuinely kind, and exactly how you hope a local business owner shows up. You wouldn't even realize he's the owner unless you catch the name tag and have that "ohhh... Spud Todd-os" moment. Whether you're grabbing something quick to go or sitting down to eat, this place delivers: great food, fair prices, and the kind of local energy that keeps you coming back. Your stomach and your wallet will both be very happy. Would (and do) bring everyone here.

    What a fun concept! We came here for the first time and the way the menu was set up, it did take us…read morea bit to figure out how to order. There are numbered guides on the glass but they were out of order so it was kind of confusing. However, we figured it out and had fun deciding what options to get. The Mister got a half Las Vegas and I got the Turkey on Mashed, but subbed out for a baked potato. The portions were big! We both took home leftovers and they were both really tasty. I think my turkey dish probably weighed five pounds. It was very tasty and I could see how delicious it would have been over mashed potatoes. My husband's Las Vegas potato was also very good. Super flavorful. I also appreciated all the syrup options set up beside the soda dispenser. That was an unexpected bonus. Staff were friendly, clean place. We'll definitely be back. I think chili on a baked potato would hit the spot on a cold day.

    The Chili Cheese garbage fries. A local favorite. Todd's Chili is made from scratch and its mild.

    Todd's Favorite sauce goes well on pulled pork, ham or chicken, this one is the pork on mashed potatoes.
