The service was five stars. They really take the time to explain and make you feel comfortable, and the food has authentic flavors. In addition, it’s a really good price, and drinks are extremely creative with interesting twists.

We went to Yao’s to check out their Bite 30 menu and absolutely loved it! The sticky ribs were probably our favorite bite- incredible! The entree portions were huge. I also loved the matcha panna cotta for dessert. Our server was attentive and kind. He worked behind the bar making our delicious cocktails and never missed a beat running between working the bar and serving tables. We will definitely be back!

Awesome menu and reasonably priced! Our group of 4 probably had 4 small plates and 4 big plates and had wayyyyyy too much food. Can’t wait to go back and try other things because the entire menu looks great! Hey Oviedo please support this business we don’t want to lose this one!

The food was great. Plates are more focused on family-style dining and encourage sharing. Very easy to order something that 2 people may not be able to finish. Some items are expensive and we were encouraged to visit during happy hour to sample more dishes. The server was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

Caught the tail end of happy hour, order quite a few things both sets of wings, 3 pig rice, crab udon, ribs, lo mein and the shrimp appetizer. I personally didn’t like the dry rub wings but my wife liked them and the miso crab udon kind of gave me pasta Alfredo which just made it okay. Everything else was fairly good, the other wings were absolutely delicious as well as the shrimp and I’d go back. Definitely worth a try. I also had a drink I want to say it was “kill bill” and I’d drink a gallon of that and not complain one bit.

Space was bigger than we thought-very Westernized Chinese. They had our reservation ready but we decided against the booth seats. They got another table ready quickly. Someone greeted us at the door with a smile. Steven the server approached and introduced himself- wonderful service throughout the dinner! We mentioned then that our negative take away on the food itself were the Tuna Tartare which had hardly any tuna and was very bland , and the tasty Truffle Scallion Noodles was too small a portion at $14. All said, we enjoyed the Truffle Mushroom Fried Rice and Fried String Beans . The surprise soft serve sprinkled with black sesame seed ( so refreshing) at the end of dinner for my birthday was appreciated. We will go back for the fried rice and try other dishes like Parm Crab Miso Udon( hopefully more presence of the crab than the tuna in the tartar dish), Roasted Green Cabbage for sure. We can see a history of family traditional dishes presented in the dishes we had.
