Yao's

A must try fried rice. Yao's is true culinary experience. Our waitress Juliet was knowledgeable and recommended amazing plates. We had the three pigs fried rice, beef and broccoli cavetelli, general Yao's chicken, and shanghai sticky ribs. All became our favorites. We also had two desserts that are one of a kind. (see the photos) better than any words I can write.The atmosphere and family style dinning separates them from the rest. The restaurant operates by reservations and for a moment we thought it was the only way to dine, but today we took our chances... we are so glad we did as they also take walk ins. I highly recommend this chic , modern, and classy Chinese restaurant.

The hype is real. Food is amazing and staff are so welcoming and nice. Food portions are MASSIVE so the pricing is worth it for sure. We ordered way toich but everything was delicious and very hot. Happy Hour portions are not skimpy to say the least. We will absolutely be back to try more of the menu. We ordered the bang bang shrimp, sticky ribs, crab Rangoon (no picture), three pigs fried rice and the steak stir fry with rice cakes.

Yao’s was such a great experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely yummy—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried tasted spot on and hit the craving perfectly. What really stood out, though, was how incredibly fast the service was. Our food came out way quicker than expected without feeling rushed, and everything was still hot and well-prepared. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the whole visit smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for delicious Chinese food with fast, efficient service, Yao’s is definitely a place worth checking out. I’ll for sure be coming back

Very clean and appealing restaurant. We had lunch which was priced on par with other restaurants like this one. The restaurant is positioned on the far left in the Publix plaza as you are looking at Publix. Steven was an excellent server, very kind and attentive. Honey Orange Chicken lunch box was good especially the chicken and salad as both the sauce and the salad dressing were very tasty. The spring rolls were overcooked and had an unusual inner stuffing which for us wasn't as good as some spring rolls. The fried rice seemed stale and wasn't as flavorful as we are used to. The restroom was very clean as was the booth we sat at. We loved the nice chopsticks offered to dine with along with silverware so the guest can choose which utensils they prefer. The chef delivered the food himself w

Wonderful atmosphere, very clean with a clear view into the working kitchen. Service was very attentive and helpful with suggestions. Every dish was amazing, fresh tasting and full of delicious flavors. Matcha Pana cotta with mango and lemon was delicious!
