Yao Restaurant & Bar Review

Need to pay attention to cleaning restrooms and all areas.

the food was amazing and the waitress was the sweetest old lady. if you get the dinner for two dont order a side appetizer its soo much food! or do, im not a cop its really good

It's an amazing place to eat plus all the memroibellia is exciting to look at as well. Service is outstanding and reasonable prices, that fills you up.

It was pretty good. Lunch prices are really good. Must admit I've had better Chinese but I'd go back.

Our car broke in....there is no safety around this hotel

Great service and good food. This is different than the typical Chinese - American restaurants we enjoyed their food, it certainly seems to be authentic Chinese cuisine.

One of the best Chinese restaurant that I have visit. The food is great and the wait staff is always attentive. Eating at this restaurant is always a good outing!!!

Just had take out, but was very pleased with the food

Great soups..house special fried rice is ny fav.....yum yum especially with the hot oil.mmmm

I don't know wht happened to this place use to be awesome now they like Timmy Chan

Great restaurant, amazing food, and always friendly staff!

Great place! Food was delicious and the service was great.

Love the food! Love my waitress "kim". She was very good at always tending us but it was the Male hostess that made the experience a three star! The food thou is great!! Everything I have tried so far is great!

This place is the Bomb... Food is delicious & service is awesome! Highly recommended,

Very friendly staff but they do not add any or flavorings to their food everything taste very bland.

I had the Walnut Shrimp and the Crab Wontons. Expect large portions. The wontons are big and there are 6 to an order. The walnut shrimp has carrots, mushrooms, and squash. Choice of rice:steamed, brown or fried. The egg rolls are also very big. Very good food. Expect to take home a doggie bag.

Lunch - Yao's flavored shrimp. Absolutely the best. Large portion at reasonable price. Angel is the best waiter, very friendly, efficient & fast. Great lunch prices.

Great place. Food is really good and very inexpensive.

Decent Chinese place. Both American and traditional Chinese dishes.

Great place for lunch at a good price. American chinese.

I ve been coming to this restaurant off and on for six years now. And the food taste good, the service is great, but I feel like the main entrance when you walk in could use some fixing up. This place has so much potential to be the best. You can t beat the commute it s literally right down the street from my house.

This restaurant is now one of my favorite places to eat, the food is great the waitress was very kind made sure our table had everything we needed. Will most definitely come back here.

Kim our waitress is always very attentive. ..makes sure our drinks are always full. Fast friendly service. Good food .

Has authentic cultural options and Americanized options. With both traditional serving styles and more modern ones upon reservation.

Food was amazing and the service was top notch! Can't wait to go back!

Good lunch spot. Would like to go back and try the dinner menu.

Went here for lunch. 8.99 lunch Mongolian combo was absolutely amazingly. Shrimp, chicken and beef fried rice soup and a roll. Cannot complain at all taste was spot on

If you love the Houston Rockets you should give this place a try. Peking duck is great. Different than your P.F. Changs.

Thanks Yao for great food good service.

The rooftop bar on 33rd floor offers an amazing panoramic view of Bangkok. The drinks were okay. I had a signature cocktail and it was alright. It would be better if they have happy hours for early birds. I'd visit here more often. :)

We had dinner here at Yao on 32nd floor as well and it was very satisfying. Our hosts were K.Noolek and K.We. They were attentive and really friendly. The duck was REALLY good. The view is awesome. All in all, Yao is a great option if you need to dine in special occasions.

The restaurant that went to the United States to play one of the meals with the group did not eat Chinese food for many days, so it felt delicious. The taste is salty for us, but the locals seem to like the more salty taste, so if you have a chance, you can indicate that the taste is lighter when ordering.

Closest place to authentic Chinese food in Houston.

First time to come eat here food are delicious and the service wonderful will come back with my family love it.....

I always receive good service and the food is very good I frequent restaurants quite often everyday for lunch

Good food, decent lunch specials. One of my go to spots on westhiemer

We usually order for the office. Service make you feel like a VIP. Great place to have lunch in under a hour.

Dined-in on 6/13/19 an was so thoroughly disappointed. The service was great, but the food wasn't good nor was it fresh. The food tastes as if it is premade and then reheated. It's missing unique Asian flavors. Also, we were served the hardest piece of dried up cheesecake for desert.

I m a regular Customer there I always buy food to go and sometimes I pay thru phone and they never said I can t so today I try to order on the phone and the lady that answers was rude and she told me I couldn t pay. favor place bout last time I m ordering in there !!!!!!!!

Great food and excellent service. Definitely recommend a visit

Ordered delivery. Order was smoked duck that tasted like smoked plastic, sweet and sour chicken was hard as a rock and the chicken fried rice was decent, the 2 egg rolls were fair. We will never order from here again. Beyond disappointed.

Food and service was excellent. Neil is our waiter awesome service. Best Asian food in Houston.

By far my favorite Chinese restaurant. The food is outstanding.

Unique, one-of-a-kind delicious chinese-american food in Houston. It prevails by making the dishes palatable for the western clienteles, yet does not fall into the chinese american cliche menu list such as Kung Pao Chicken or Sweet n Sour Soup. Great spacious place with PLENTY of space, good for family. Suggestion for improvement, place can be cleaner and please, dont look so cheap as to put only one light bulb on your chandeliers.

Love this place been eating here for years. Chicken egg rolls are delicious

Excellent food and service...felt like Yao Ming s family!

A large group of us go here for lunch about twice a month. Food, staff and atmosphere is always good. Prices reasonable. Especially like the waitstaff. Very attentive.

The food was bland. There was one server which impacted the service. I asked about another sauce other than soy sauce, I was told that was the only option. It was my first time. Maybe we will try again later in the day when there are more people to help.

Love their Peking Duck. And the wait staff, are all Beautiful People!!

Tried theSalt and Pepper Shrimp today and it was great. I do wish they had it on their lunch menu though.

I love this place ,been coming here for 14 years!!!

Great food with reasonable prices , gas been one of my favorite places to eat for years

Good largely Americanized Chinese restaurant tauoption. The duck portion is generous. Wonton soup is also enjoyable.

This is one of my favorite lunch spots reasonably priced.

Fried rice is awesome, friendly staff and love location. Love coming here

Good for larger parties. You can reserve a private room. I have seen some fluctuation in portion sizes over time and in service levels. Quality of the food is usually pretty good and consistent.

This is the one spot my family always hits up when we decide to eat as a huge family. The food always turns out great and the waiters are always friendly.

The orange peel chicken was abit too soft like no crisp on its outer layer (maybe change the batter on how its made) .. you can try deep fry it twice fry it first time let sit two mins then fry again and let sit out for 5mins then you can add the sauce in a hot pan with the chicken because each bite should atleast have a lil crunch on its outter layer.

Nice location for tasty chinese food. there was fast, efficient, and courteous service. the place has a cool feel to it. reminds me of a restaurant in philadelphia that i enjoyed.

OMG The food was absolutely amazing. We all were fat full and the food was very fresh. Well worth the drive

Best place to have all day meals ( lunch and dinner) with delicious salads and beverages.

Pleasant atmosphere, decent food, have been going there for years.
We went there to yesterday and unfortunately had a very bad experience. My chicken fried rice was okay but my wife's compound chicken was dry overly salted our egg drop soup was warm at best and while the waiter was very attentive it was not a pleasant experience.

My first time here and I'm in love with the staff. The manager was so friendly. While my food was being prepared she took the time out of her schedule to talk. She is amazing...I hate that I didn't get her name!!!

Food and service was exemplary. Cant wait to go back.
