I love the ban mhi sandwich with steak at ZAO! If you haven't tried it, you are missing out! It's chock full of steak, veggies, and sauce that somehow come together for the perfect fusion of flavors. The place is clean and the employees were all upbeat and friendly. I left feeling full but didn't have to worry about that heavy unhealthy full feeling because all of the food is so fresh. This place is a true gem! read more

Was sad because Rumbis was closed on Sunday, but so happy because I discovered Zao. Tried the tofu tacos, chips & guac, and the Zao chicken bowl. All we're very flavorful and filling. Excited to have a new place. read more

I keep going back to try everything. This place is like a Asian cafe rio or chipotle. Its awesome. I love the tacos and the bahn mi's. The noodle bowls are great if you want to be a little healthier. Good service always pretty quick for my fast lunches :) read more

This isn't new local spot. It's veg friendly. The food is fresh. You can taste the favors if the individual ingredients. The serving size is reasonable and the young staff is refreshingly helpful. read more

First time, menu looks good and my choice of a bowl was extremely delicious. I would highly recommend this place. The only comment would be for cashier behind counter to practice friendly. However, I do understand people can have bad days, all I can say to that is to remember this is a people business as much as a restaurant. read more

This place is AWESOME the food is always fresh, I love the steak tacos and the new guacamole is really good. The staff is always nice they take really good care of me. Keep up the good work guys . read more

For a healthy snack, lunch or dinner, this is the place. They don't add anything they shouldn't be, so you can even keep track of your macros very easily. The green curry is probably the best and healthiest option. read more

I've eaten here a few times and wish and want to love it. I am going for middle of the road as I just didn't enjoy it as much as some of my friends. The great news is that the food is fresh and well done. I did not enjoy any of the sauces and found the meatballs to have a weird texture. I like the noodles and maybe just need to try a few more dishes. read more

Pretty amazing. I got three tacos one with tofu, one chicken and one steak. I can't choose a favorite I loved them all! It is a little spicy, but I'm a wimp so don't take my word for it. I'll be back for sure!! read more

Flavorless and not filling. Customer service was so so. Felt like I was a burden. Will not back

Just found Zao, it was awesome. I wanted something light and it fit the bill. Great food and they were fast and friendly

I placed a large order of around 30 individual orders for my work, and let me just tell you the staff at Zao in Murray are awesome! They wrote the names on all orders, got all the orders correct, and were done super quick! The employee I spoke with made it so easy to place the order in the most efficient way. Majority of our group had never eaten at Zao but we absolutely loved. Definitely ordering again! read more

This was my second experience with Zao and I loved it still! It didn't disappoint at all. I was with my husband who was there for the first time. He tried the tiger sauce and I had the green chilli sauce. We both loved it! the food was amazing, so filling! We had plenty of meat and the fusion of flavors was awesome! We'll be coming back again and will definitely recommend Zao Cafe to friends and family! :) read more

Soup was hearty and delicious. Tacos were unique, we savored each bite. Rice bowls were fresh and tasty! We will be back!

For fast food this is a solid chain and I wish they had one in Colorado. I have gone to 3 different locations and all have overall solid consistency. My favorite is there salad with rice noodles, and I have tried all the meats and tofu each flavorful. read more

Ate here while in town visiting my college student daughter. I was impressed. Good "fast food" and not too pricey. It felt like "Mod Pizza" but serving Chinese food. read more

Been to Zao a few times and think it's pretty good for fast casual Asian. Went to this location last week for the first time and was highly disappointed. Business hours are not posted in front of the store. Doors were unlocked so we walked in. Staff member who looks like the manager informed us they don't open until another 6-7 mins (which would be 11AM). Asked if we can sit at a table and wait and she said ok- after all, they did open the doors before they were ready to open. At 11AM, they were still cooking so we continued to sit patiently waiting. ~11:12AM, we asked if they were close to being ready and she said they need another ~10mins. At this point, we had already been waiting 15+ mins and who knows if they would actually be ready in 10 more mins. Even if we weren't early and got there at 11AM when they open, we would still need to wait ~20mins to order and get our food at a fast casual type restaurant. Not good keeping customers waiting like that. We left and went to the Fort Union location instead. Had we just waited, we would have saved gas and it prob took longer than 10 mins to drive to Fort Union. If she offered us a drink, we would have appreciated the customer service and stayed, but we felt under appreciated and decided to give our business to another store instead. read more

The place is very clean, the employees are very nice and welcoming. The food is amazing! You gotta stop by! Money is worth your stop. The store manager guy was super nice! Many managers aren't opened welcoming customers to their stores. I love it! read more

I love this place because they serve healthy meals prepared with fresh ingredients and have very decent price. ( No more expensive than traditional fast food restaurants) I recommend chicken bowl with brown rice and green curry. Iced coffee is good too! read more

Zao Asian Cafe - Asian Fusion Near Me - Murray, Utah

This was one of the nicest experiences I have had at a restaurant like this. The food was delicious (I asked the manager for his recommendation and it was spot on). Halfway through our meal, the manager was circulating through the restaurant ensuring all the patrons were pleased with their meal/experience. I highly recommend this location if you like good food and great service. I'll be back! read more

The Zao curry is A-ok with me for any meal. A+ staff as well. Always a fun dining experience.

Cool atmosphere and unique menu. I love banh mi in general so that's usually what I get but everything I've had here is excellent tasting and high quality. I would recommend the meat balls and get the sandwich the "Zao way." The Maine Root soda fountain is kinda fun too. read more

They started with a bed of ride, soaked it in soy sauce to make it inedible, put some green beans, carrot shreds and super salty chicken on it and charged 7 bucks. The food would be less salty if I rinsed it off with sea water. read more

The portions are better than Noodles & Co. They have more Asian options than Noodles & co. Depending on the staff, the curry bowl will have generous amounts of curry or it will be dry. Two adults can split a bowl for a light dinner. The noodle soup is delicious, and perfect if you have a cold or allergies or are feeling ill in general. It is crowded at lunchtime, so if you are in a hurry, it makes more sense to order online and pick up from Noodles & Co. But they have better tasting food and bigger portions than Noodles for much better prices. The food is mildly spicy, and soothing. It is assembly line style, where you pick your bowl, protein, curry, and carbs, and the raw salad items going into your bowl. If you like food like that, this gets a 4. If you don't, it gets a 3. read more

The Murray Zao location is my favorite! The food is always fresh and the employees are helpful and friendly. Zao has great options that are fresh, healthy and affordable. I am a regular at this location, because the food seems to be better quality than at other locations and the employees go out of their way to be nice. When my mom was visiting and I took her to Zao, one of the employees offered her samples since it was her first time in the restaurant and now she is hooked as well. read more

First time visit and I was blown away at how delicious the food was. I chose the chicken rice bowl with the yellow Thai curry sauce and the portion was huge yet the prices are very reasonable. It was superbly delicious. Great friendly service with a pleasant ambience means I will return. ( We also tried an order of chips and guacamole and it was outstanding ). I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

I love the Asian meatball bowl. The staff was plentiful and service excellent. I love the way the restaurant is designed!!!

We're visiting the town, we were starving and everywhere else closes on Sunday! Thanks to these friendly guys at Zao, they made us feel welcome in Salt Lake City most especially feeding us with Asian goodness. Strongly recommended. read more

Really impressed.. Design of the place is nice, service is great. I tried the chicken salad, and their Ginger vinegarette is really good. Will definitely be back to try other dishes on their menu!! read more

A fantastic find in Murray near Costco, Rubio's, and some other fast food places. Interesting Asian fusion fare quick and at a reasonably cheap price. I think this might be our new go-to place for a good quick healthy lunch. read more

Great customer service. I love the coconut rice pudding. It's so nice to be able to eat a dairy and gluten free dessert, they are very difficult to find at a restaurant read more

Got some food to go and was really impressed. This place is like Asian Chipotle and you can get a bowl, bahn mi sandwiches, soup, or tacos. I got the green curry which was good but a bit too spicy for my taste. The bowl is a huge serving which is perfect for leftovers. Will definitely be returning. read more

I'm always craving zao! They have the best asian tacos, get them with their thai spiced tofu. Best tofu I've ever had!

This food is yummy, unique and healty. I really like their tacos and noodles bowls and anything tastes great with their curry sauce. The vegetables are fresh and flavorable. Perfection for fast Asian Fusion read more

I love the food is healthy ,flavorful and affordable , I love the banh mi sandwich with meatballs , and their new chips and guacamole is awesome, I brought some guacamole to work and every one love it . We usually order to go and every time I get there is always ready to go , good job on that . My kids love the chicken tacos ,but I would like to have a healthier option for them to drink, like a natural lemonade or something else like fresh fruit beverages read more

This is truly one of the only places I can eat, feel good about what's going in me, pay a reasonable price for fresh food, don't feel sluggish afterwards, and have energy to last me the rest of the day. No joke, when this location opened I ate here everyday for nearly 1 month. It's that great AND the staff is fast and friendly. This is THE spot in the Murray area. read more

This was my first time to a Zao Asian Cafe, and after today it definitely won't be my last. First, the staff was super nice (I asked what she recommended for the protein to add my noodle soup and she immediately had a suggestion, chicken!) and the dishes were yummy. The prices are reasonable and a great change if you don't want to do run of the mill fast food. The food looks healthy. The restaurant itself was really clean and had a good vibe. Definitely recommended if you are looking for something different to try in the area. read more

This place has easily become one of my new favorite places to frequently go on my lunch break. Zao consistanlty serves fresh and delicious food made with obviously high quality ingredients, all at a very good price. The staff is very friendly and it's very clear to see that the manager Issac cares alot about the customers and his restaurant, and his staff. I can't recommend this place enough and I will most definitely be coming back. Thank you zao! read more

I thought the teriyaki ckn salad was tasty. Also liked the ckn and steak noodle dish. But for $9 I think the portions could be better. But i guess thats why its a health place so no biggie. I liked all the extra little toppings they offer - soo good and great added touch. The grilled onions and carrots, nuts. Great combo. Just increase your pirtion sizes (dont be cheap). Could also use more soda selections. read more

Is this chipotle++? is this asian? i don't know, but I personally think that this place is a step ahead of chipotle. chicken rice bowl very tasty.Its my favorite. To be honest i have not tried anything else. The ambiance is fantastic, the staff do an awesome job too. I had my doubts whether the chicken would be cooked thoroughly or not. But it was cooked with perfection.This is my new go to place for lunch. The price is very reasonable too - i was surprised to have a flavorful dish with good quantity for just 8$. I do not have any negative points to bring up at this point.This place is clean , serene with plenty of seating. I would recommend this place to any one,specially during lunch time. read more
