Reviews for Yao Chinese Restaurant in Gilbert, AZ
Will not be back! The meal was good, the portion was decent but what gives it 1 star is the waitresses?s tantrum. The waitress... started out nice and took our drink order, app order, and when I placed my order she asked ?together or separate?? This alwaysrefers to the tab at any restaurant we have been to. The reference to together or separate meant a family meal insteadindividual plates. My friend ordered her meal. Next comes two family size plates. Sweet and sour, chicken w/veg on pan friednoodle, two sodas, app pot stickers came to just shy of $50. I know inflation is an issue but how does a $2 extra for Pan friednoodles, and what was supposed to be separate individual meals on one tab come to almost $50? I was shocked that lunch was thatmuch instead of $30-40 total. My friend was ready to leave a decent size cash tip. Before my friend could offer a cash tip thewaitress literally threw a tantrum, arguing with me about no tip, and stormed off because she didn?t get one. Read more
Was supposed to be sesame chicken with fried rice. I don?t know what is on the rice but it is not fried rice and not a good... taste. My first and last time trying this place. I wanted to try friend chicken wings but they didn?t have any chicken wings. SoI tried this chicken taste like ginger with sesame seeds on it. Read more
This is a pretty good Chinese food restaurant. The honey walnut shrimp was delicious and the combo fried rice was very good.... Portion sizes and prices are fair. I would definitely come back. Read more
highly I recommend the Szechuan beef! I eat a lot of Chinese restaurants. This dish has a very well balanced flavor of sweets... and slightly spicy I got the mild and it still has the brown sauce taste Read more
This place is great! We used to have a favorite Chinese restaurant called Wong's Place, but ever since that closed years ago we... haven't been able to find something similar. This place is it! The salt & pepper pork chop and sizzling rice soup are madeexactly the way we've been looking for, but couldn't find anywhere else. The food is good, the servers are really friendly, andthe atmosphere gives us that comforting vibe we used to get from Wong's. Will definitely be making this our new go-to spot, andwill be taking family and friends here! :) Read more
Was looking for good chinese food and was looking on google and came across Yao and looked at the menu and the pictures. I was... happy with what I seen and I was happy to take a drive. Omg the Orange Chicken was the best I've had here in Arizona. Thecombination fried rice was also very delicious. My new favorite place to order Read more
Ok, so where do I start. We decided to try another Chinese Restaurant in the valley we haven't been to. We tried at least a... dozen in the valley and this is one of the top of our list. We decide how good a Chinese place based on how good their chickenand brocolli, orange chicken and fried rice are made. These are the staple and always order these whenever we try newplace. Orange chicken is one of the best we tried, most OC we had are tangy and sour, where it's overpowering the overallflavor. The one here is just enough orange zest and not too sweet. Really really good! Chicken and brocolli is good but not thebest we've had. We prefer not to have mushroom with it. In all of the place we've been to, this is the only place who putsmushroom in Chicken and brocolli. Fried rice is really good! My daughter's favorite! Lots of shrimp, eggs and chicken slices.It's also very flavorful! Serving is a plenty! For one order, it can serve 4 people with much leftover following day. We stillhave at least half left in each. Customer service is good too. We ordered through the phone and paid when we pick up. It wasready when we got there. They even gave us donuts on the side. Bottomline: Yes! we recommend this place and yes we will comeback again! Read more
Hands down the best Chinese food in the area, great customer service. The restaurant is very clean and the A/C is set to a... comfortable cool escape of the AZ heat. I eat at PF Changs frequently but now will come here instead. Read more
