Chef Yao

American style Chinese food shops all carry the same menu and serve the same basic americanized Chinese dishes (e.g sweet and sour, orange, general tzo, beef and broccoli , chicken and garlic sauce, etc,) and are probably all franchises. Chef Yao had real Chinese dishes along with American Chinese dishes so I thought I should give the authentic Chinese restaurant a try. It's more pricey and being authentic it's expected but I also expected a better quality in taste but I didn't taste the difference compared to the americanized Chinese food restaurants. Before I return and try the Hunan or Szechuan that people rave about I went with the regular stuff first. Same basic taste imo.

I ordered delivery. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the fish and sour cabbage soup and string beans with eggplant. Both dishes were super fresh and flavorful. I've ordered a few times and highly recommend the food. I'm looking forward to dining in also.

Great food and service. Reasonable prices and large servings. Soup dumplings were juicy and flavorful. Orange beef was crispy and saucy. Dry pot beef was excellent. Can't wait to try more.

ordered 夫妻肺片, which beats many famous places in NYC，shreded potato, chicken with garlic sauce, and double cooked pirk. all came out nice authentic chinese. highly recommended.

I'm very happy to have this option in RI because I've been going to Malden for Sichuan food. I went with a friend who doesn't eat spicy so I tried a few dishes, but will go back for 毛血旺 next time!
