Reviews for Yao buffet-sushi-grill in Asheville, NC
Worst buffet I've ever been to. Everything tasted awful and was cold. Wish I'd check the rating prior to visiting! I would give... 0 stars if I could. Edit: ended up with food poisoning. Called the restaurant and reported. They didn't apologize or anything.They didn't even seem to be surprised. Told me they would have health dept call me. NEVER HAPPENED! Read more
I came back to give them a second chance after a horrible experience a few weeks back. Used to love this place but the pice went... up and quality way down. Most the food was old and cold. Which happens at buffets but more was cold than hot. But to top it offthe service was terrible. I never once got a refill, I was past 5 times in 10 mins and nothing. Could I have asked ? Sure butsince there was 7 people here and the waitress just sat in a chair watching the door I feel they could have helped. Don?t comehere, it?s terrible especially with 2 other buffets in town that treat you better Read more

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! We got here around 3:?? on a Saturday. The restaurant was not clean, the food was ALL old and dried... out. They were horrible at refilling drinks. We asked for them to bring fresh food out, and literally waited like 40 minutes forthem to start to bring edible items out. When they did, rice and noodles were so burnt tasting you couldn?t eat them. They wereout of egg rolls at a Chinese restaurant. You should leave a buffet full- but we all left hungry and praying we didn?t get sickfrom what we did eat! Don?t worry: they serve you your check immediately- that?s about it! Read more
We went on a Monday which seem to be a slow day for them. No hostess just sat where ever we wanted. The food was old even though... lunch just changed over to dinner. I did not see crablegs or froglegs some reviews did say on weekends only. They are probablyright. The service from the staff and the owner were good from our interactions with them. Our waitress did just get us drinksand disappeared; however, if you needed help the staff responded. The food got refill while we were eating so they do make freshfood as people come in. The sushi was fresh not hard, buffet was refill with new food, and the chicken pho noodles were the bestI've had for a buffet. Even the Pad Thai tasted like actual Pad Thai from a sit down restaurant. They had some items that I wassurprised to fine at a buffet including Vietnamese Springs Rolls, Taro Buns, Tum Yum Soup, and a whole ice cream topping sectionwith ice cream already souped for you in a bowel. They have lots of vegetarian choices too. All in all, they run a business andcooks to the demands and needs of the customer. It was a pleasant experience. I took one star for the old food but fresh foodwas good and place is clean. Personally prefer this buffet over Asiana in Skyland. Covid precautions is a plus! Glad there is adecent buffet on this side of town in convenient location too. Read more
This was the most horrible experience I have ever had. The food was horrible!! I am not returning. The food was dried out lime... it has been there all day. No one ever attempted to refill the empty sections. Gross!! The server never looked at us or spoke tous. She got our drinks and walked away until she brought our ticket. I couldnt even get her attention. The pictures areflattering compared to the taste. Read more
If you never hear from me again then you'll know ive died from food poison/sticker shock. Food had looked like it had been in... the pans since they opened. Place was completely trashed I think the bathrooms was the cleanest part of the restaurant. Whathappened? I used to love this place. Price was no better for lunch because I was charged the dinner price. They insisted I cameat 330 but it was more like 2:45. Read more
Found this place on goggle. Drove up from Savannah, GA for a weekend wedding. This place is your typical Chinese buffet very... good selection of dishes. Sushi was not as impressive good but not many choices. Service was very good and very clean. If youlike this type of food and place you will not be disappointed!! I Read more
