I recently celebrated a friend's birthday... I had the orange chicken and ate some of the wonton soup... as soon as I got home I got very ill ... food poisoning... even while eating I just felt it was off ... staff were nice but front desk host gave attitude. I wouldn't eat here again...

We have dined at this restaurant more than a dozen times when visiting Yaamava. Each time we have really enjoyed the food and the service. We have dined for lunch or dinner on all occasions until our last visit. We had a brunch reservation recently and were excited to try the dim sum. This was a very disappointing meal. The dim sum dishes do not hold up against anything on the regular menu. In fact, we could not even eat the Pork Belly Gua Bao due to an unusually strong unrecognizable flavor. Similarly, the Black Pepper Beef Short Rib was also very unsatisfying. This was a serious disappointment. We were asked about the Pork Belly Gua Bao and received a bit of a doubting glance from a manager who came by before removing it from our bill without any comment at all. We did not complain. We just expressed our disappointment in the dish and were treated with indifference.
It can also be annoying when you have a reservation during busy hours as the check-in for reservations is now outside the door in a very crowded space next to the seating at the large bar also just outside that door.
Generally I find Yaamava to not be very hospitable or friendly. It is rare that an encounter with any staff is either.

This is the second visit on a special occasion where our server Rick went above and beyond with his service. He personally makes a delicious spoce to add to your hot n sour soup that tastes absolutely amazing. If you love awesome service with a delicious touch to hot n sour soup ,you will not regret having Rick as your server. Thanks again Rick for the special birthday treatment 2 years in a row. You are the reason we love going back!

We came here after a show in the Yamava theater, we wanted to try their food, the place is pretty and cozy but the food is bad, we ordered some chow mein and walnut shrimp, both plates were bland, there was no flavor on the shrimp, it has a very thick and dry crust and a little bit of sauce. We complained and the manager was able to talk to us and try to make it right, we appreciate that gesture.

Today I had the most expensive and nasty walnut shrimp. The shrimp is breaded it looks more like a taco. The Chow mein noodles are tasteless.

I came in to eat because I thought I could use my comps. Wrong. They only do take out for comps. I ordered a simple soup, rice and orange chicken. The chicken tasted old and so did the shrimp in the seafood sweet and sour soup. My waiter was kind of just like me waiting for this disaster to be over, unamused. 😒 I was going to order take out before leaving back home and try to use the comps but honestly I didn’t want to punish my self again.

The best thing I had here was the walnut shrimp! Wow, the size was huge and very filling. I've never had walnut shrimp this good. We went here for my mom's birthday and it was a nice restaurant for sure. I showed up late due to so much traffic so all I could judge was what was leftover for me. I barely made it cuz we had a comedy show to go to. Everything was good, but the shrimp is what stood out for me!

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and fresh. Ming was such a amazing hostess. Very friendly and attentive. Portions were big, party of 4 and still had left overs. Will definitely be back. Thanks again Ming.

We ordered kung bao chicken. It was gross. It was $25 for a regular serving. The bartender said it was a good portion but I disagree. We also had the beef dumplings and some pork belly small “sandwiches “. The dumplings tasted good but I think they were too greasy. They made me nauseated. If I could get my money back, I would. I don’t need to try anything else. I’m good. Not sure why it’s so expensive. If it was super good it would be worth it but not like this.
This is expensive for just rice!?? Look in the picture is supposed to be a seafood rice for $31 in the top few shrimp and try to look inside the rice to find the other seafood and nothing, just rice!? Never ever again here, and I definitely NOT recommend this place

First of all no disrespect to all the hard-working team members at Yaamava at all venues I just have to share my last few experiences with the customer service at this venue. I sense either frustration or lack of training from their team members when picking up mobile orders. Just a heads up so y'all not suprised. Do not expect above and beyond service or a simple 'hi I'll be right with you'. I get it some might not care about basic customer experience but I'm just old fashioned I guess. The food is really great and I won't stop dining here.

Started out not liking this place but after I've ate at all the casino restaurants sobaba,pachanga,monongo I like the food at hong bao service is excellent.

Nice atmosphere but terrible food. They tried so hard to make “fancy” chinese food but taste so dry and bland. “Fancy” restaurant but served this $9 avocado shake in a plastic cup that was only halfway full. $25 Chowmein that was drier than Sahara Desert, could barely swallow it. SMH.
