    We recently dined at Yingtao and had an overall enjoyable experience. The food was thoughtfully prepared, with well-balanced flavors and elegant presentation. While it may not have been the most memorable meal we’ve ever had, there were certainly standout moments—particularly the lamb main course, which was absolutely exceptional. However, a few aspects of the evening left room for improvement. The service, although courteous, was notably slow. Our dinner stretched to nearly three hours, which felt a bit excessive, especially considering the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy. By the time we finished our first bottle of wine, only three starters had been served. The pace could definitely benefit from more attention—it would’ve been ideal to finish within two hours. We also encountered some issues with the wine list. The first two bottles we tried to order were unavailable, and only our third choice was in stock. While most dishes were well executed, the lobster arrived lukewarm and lacked the impact we were hoping for. In contrast, the lamb was a true highlight—beautifully cooked and full of flavor. One observation that stood out was the demeanor of some staff members. While the restaurant has a casual and contemporary feel, a few team members didn’t quite reflect the standards typically associated with Michelin recognition. For instance, basic courtesies like making way for guests navigating the dining room were overlooked, which slightly detracted from the experience. Lastly, while the meal was refined, the portions leaned on the lighter side. In fact, we found ourselves grabbing a burger and fries afterward just to feel fully satisfied. Yingtao offers a modern dining experience that feels more like contemporary fusion than a true East-meets-West concept. With some refinement in service, pacing, and attention to detail, it has the potential to be something truly special.

    All the dishes are pretty much the same taste. Noisy, tiny, no clean and not so friendly. Very disappointing.

    Delicious! Amazing service. Some dishes I could quibble with (I personally like my shumai fully constructed, but I learned that at the restaurant and found that so cool and entertaining to discover), but the flavors were wonderful and preparation fantastic. The staff was attentive and gave us an extra celebratory dessert on the house. I’d go back and recommend. It was also easy to talk there with dear friends. The restaurant was also attentive with questions and requests before we arrived. Thank you so much!

    Fantastic experience with the 9 course tasting menu on all fronts. Delicious. My wife and our daughter loved the dinner as well. Great dishes from start to finish. Not a single boring or basic dish. Clearly high quality ingredients. Sauces had complexity and depth. Thoughtful and original presentations. Worth noting the very professional and polished yet friendly, welcoming, and engaging team members who continuously solicited feedback on the dishes (in a good way) and added extra color commentary. Also, bonus points for really interesting beers such as the Jade Scorpion pilsner with green peppercorn. Really nice decor, too. We'd return in a heartbeat.

    Amazing experience. Low key elegance. Service was great. Food was incredibly delicious and interesting. The wine pairings were spot on. I would choose another meal at YingTao over another dinner at The Inn at Little Washington (which has 3 Michelin stars) . The evening was that wonderful.
