Y AO Atlanta

Came here for a date nite and enjoyed it! Live band, free back massage, and incredible building layout! Our waiter was so busy that he really couldn’t focus a lot of attention on us. All of our food came out at once. The appetizer and our entrees. We had to constantly ask for water and soda refills. The food was delicious never the less. Just wish they had more staff. We received champagne upon entrance.

I have had this spot on my list of places to check out. I was originally scheduled to dine here in November of 2023 but had to cancel my reservation at the last minute. A friend asked me this week if I would be interested in checking it out on Saturday night. She made us a reservation for 9pm. I used a GPS app to find this place. It did not exactly get me to the restaurant. The GPS told me to turn off Hammod drive onto perimeter center parkway. You should continue on Hammond drive. Louisiana Bistreaux Seafood will be on your left on the corner. Yao is next door. Keep driving and the parking garage is on the left. The garage is free for 2 hours. When we walked in we were immediately seated. Our server was Pao. He recommended drinks and food items to try. I ordered still water and the octopus. My friend ordered an alcoholic drink and the crab wontons to start. The wontons arrived quickly as did the drink. However, the octopus took a very long time to come out. My friend had finished her appetizer prior to the octopus arriving . For entrees I ordered the crab fried rice and my friend ordered the Mongolian beef. I thought the crab wontons and octopus were average. I would not have to order either app again. My entree was terrible! Our server said it was one of the top selling items! It was bland and just not good. I had to ask for a sauce to make it edible. My friend said she did enjoy her beef entree. I hate to say this, but the water was the best item for me! Service was ok- nothing special, honestly a little slow. I did enjoy the live music and the massage. ( it says they are complimentary but expect to tip). Overall I spent $88 for dinner and a 3-4 minute massage. NOT WORTH IT! NOTE: gratuity is included on all checks NOTE: the kitchen closes at 10pm on Saturday night.

We weren't impressed. 1st strike they didn't have the masseuse working, they advertise having someone give massages while you wait for your food but because of holiday they weren't available. This was the main reason we went. 2nd strike they were out of pork Belly. 3rd strike the server separated our ticket wrong! What they did well, the food was good. My first time having Pai Tai, my only complaint the shrimp needed to be seasoned. The salt and pepper shrimp was really good. My sister added a lobster and it wasn't seasoned. For $25 extra it should have been perfect. The octopus was tasty but too small. The snapper was delicious!! But for the portion was not worth $65!! The wonton was delicious but cold. My dumplings were good too but they only gave us 3. My hubby ordered the Mongolian beef, the portion was really small but it was good. The Mai Tai was great! The other drink was not strong expensive and small. The ice cream presentation was awesome but the ice cream is nasty!! It's very thick! The live was music was Amazing! We really enjoyed the ambiance. The decor was really nice. The server didn't check on us, we had to flag her down. This place was a 45 min drive for us so I wouldn't go out of the way to go back. To find it, if you're passing the mall it's the building next to state farm. It's free parking up to 2 hours.

The ambiance was good because of the live band and the music. After that, it went downhill fast. The place was crowded, so the wife and I thought we were in for a treat. They seated us upstairs, where it was too dark. Couples were complaining because we all had to use our phones to read the menu. Yes, physical, not a qr code taking you to an online menu to read on your phone. All drinks that we wanted to order were extremely overpriced. And they didn't really know how to make them.. The waiter asked me 3 times about my beverage. And by the time he was done for my beverage, it was going to cost $86. My wife beverage still costs $46, and we were okay with it until we noticed that they didn't make it proper. As well. I ordered the chicken cashew that would come in a pineapple. It was the smallest pineapple i've ever seen, and the food was cold. We had no serving spoon for the dish as well. As although it was stated on the menu that it would be served with Jasmine rice, there was NO to be found. We had to ask two different waiters for rice. Eventually, the manager was sent our direction. And she asked what the problem was. She literally said we can't do anything about my order. Didn't offer to help. Just took out plates and left. Paid over $100 for a horrible experience. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND OR GOOD BACK THERE AGAIN. AVOID AT COST.

Visited here for a birthday. Loved our server, Pao. He was funny and honest. The Tito's Lychee was everything. If you like bitter and sweet, it's for you. The Beef basil stir fry was delicious. We waited a minute for our food, though. We seated at 9:40 pm give or take and didn't get entrees until 11 pm. Our appetizers came out, so I was not terribly starving. It's a nice place. Check it out and get an earlier reservation. Also loved the band.

Been here twice. Once in 2022 and Once this year… still *chef kiss* The vibes are soo aesthetically pleasing. Ambience: 5 STARS. So pretty inside & spacious FOOD: 5 STARS. I had the blue crab rice. Omg it was so00 GOOD! Warm and fresh. DRINKS: 3.5 STARS my sister had to send your drink back twice because her lemon drop was too tart ( the bartender wasn't so pleasant & had a attitude because she wanted her drink to her liking) DESSERT: 4 STARS that coconut ice cream was EVERYTHING! SERVICE: 4.5 our waitress was a sweetheart. She look care of us :) Definitely a must try!

They definitely exceeded my expectations. First of all the service was impeccable. I reserve the last seating, and came like 5 min before kitchen cutoff time. I could not find where to park. Im circling around and bout 20 min past. They called, they confirm that i am coming and advise the kitchen close at 10:30. When we got in they allow us to look at the menu and make our request. We didnt felt rush, they were patient. We enjoyed the food tremendously. The presentation is excellent and the food is so delicious. The dumplings were soo good. The fish is the star of the show. Absolutely delicious and mines was huge. It was a little spicy. But i like spice. The lobster pad thai was so good. It was like a perfect marriage of flavors and textures. The dessert was so fun and festive. The first bite i was thrown off but it got so savory and indulgent as I kept on. I will be back.
