Ordered the original Yao Yao fish, cucumber salad, and fried chicken wings with twist dough sticks.
The Yao Yao fish was delicious with huge portions sizes. We added enoki mushrooms, bean curd, and glass noodles. It can be very salty, so definitely pair it with rice.
I was disappointed by the fried chicken wings though. They were very skinny, all bones and no meat. We will not order that again.

Just had lunch at Yao Yao at 1:30pm on a Saturday afternoon. Recommend the dry pot beef, the smacked cucumber salad, szechuan wontons. Wash it down with a fresh oolong fruit tea!

Fresh food clean place love the atmosphere but 2/3 of my shrimp still had shit in it this is why I’m picky about where I get seafood from because not everyone is as clean as they should be when dealing with seafood

Went for the Bib Gourmand award and was not disappointed. Everything was flavorful and came out QUICK. We had the garlic eggplant (11/10), chicken wings with dough twists (9/10), and th eShancheng spicy chicken (9/10, but became a 10/10 with some of the eggplant sauce). The wood's ear mushroom was also delicious. I would definitely go back and try some other items, especially the signature pickled fish. So many people in the restaurant had ordered it!

The food is delicious and the customer service was superb. The menu was {in my opinion} pretty limited. There were things I am accustomed to ordering that weren’t options here; nonetheless, I wasn’t disappointed.

Excellent tasting fish dishes, appetizers, portions and service. Highly recommend!
All of them were really delicious. Nice service and quick serving of meals. You can see the preparation of the dish through a live glass. Be careful about the spiciness of the meals. Although the spiciness is even perfectly matched.

We came here specifically for the pickled fish and it was honestly amazing- they use sea bass slices and before they add it to the soup, the fish was cooked in a special way which is why it’s so smooth and fresh. It comes in a gigantic bowl with tons of soup and some pickled veggie. There’s an option to add more “sides” such as mushroom or different kind of veggies for extra $$. We didn’t opt for that cause we wanted to try other dishes. We order the fried shrimp- which I wouldn’t recommend cause it comes in a thick layer of batter and there’s nothing special about it. We got the chicken in hot chili oil which we were all disappointed cause there’s no flavor to the chicken since it’s only soaked in chili oil. We got the pea pod in garlic sauce which was delicious. We got frog with chili pepper, the flavor was good but we got 80% pepper 20% frog which was a little disappointing. The service was good and our waiter was very chatty and attentive. The restaurant itself is pretty new and clean and there’s open kitchen. Our chef was coughing quite a lot in the kitchen without wearing a mask so that kind of gross us out a bit.

This is a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Chicago. Sichuan food is a bit spicy, but other than that, everything we ordered was delicious. The atmosphere of the store was clean and the open kitchen looked hygienic. I went there because it was a Bib Gourmand restaurant, and it is a restaurant I would like to visit again.

I ate the brush I used to wash the pot and just made a new one. No one cared about it.

This is one of my go-to's. I love it here. Their signature soups, especially the sour vegetable fatty beef soup, desserts, appetizers, and fried rice, are all delicious!!! Unique stuff and great space.
