They clearly care about both taste and presentation.

Unique flavor and great spot in Chinatown. Get the pickled fish

Great food. We lived in china for 3 years and we missed this! Very authentic and tasty

Yao Yao in Chinatown is a legit gem. Dropped about $35 for the sour pickle fish fillet and some spicy wontons, worth every penny. The fish was tender, swimming in a tangy, spicy broth that hit all the right notes. Wontons packed a punch too. Place is clean, staff's friendly, and the vibe's chill. If you're into bold Sichuan flavors, this spot's a must. Definitely coming back for more.

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.
