My wife and I stopped for the night on our way from visiting our son and his fiancée in Durango, CO, to our home in the greater Boise area. Zao’s was just down the street from our hotel. You order at the counter and the staff put your dish together assembly line fashion, then you go find a table. We told the gentleman that greeted us that we’re new to Zao’s and he was very helpful. The layout is light and airy, with basic metal tables and chairs. The have “frescas” to drink: mango, lime aid, cucumber, and watermelon. Unfortunately, the one I wanted , lime aid, was out of order, and the others were just ok. Still, more interesting than a fountain drink.
We both had honey sriracha chicken bowls with broccoli, carrots, and corn, with a very healthy portion of rice as a base. You have a variety of sauces to choose from; we both had teriyaki. The chicken was tasty. I would have preferred more veggies and less rice but it was very filling. We ordered a side of 5 potstickers but they were dry and not very good.
All in all, I was pleased with our experience at Zao’s. Friendly service, healthy and tasty food.

Really good food! I'm a fan of the yellow curry sauce. For the cost and the size of the bowl I think they should add more to fill the bowl up. The protein scoop was very minimal.

We had lunch at Zao Asian Cafe and absolutely loved it. Everything was super fresh, flavorful, and felt genuinely healthy. Even a family member who usually avoids veggies ended up clearing their bowl. The build-your-own options were great, and the portions were surprisingly big. Quick, satisfying, and full of flavor – we’d come back in a heartbeat.

Always Loved Zao super disappointed they don't have the Vietnamese meatballs on the menu anymore. Now I'm not as excited about going there just don't know what to order now.

The portion and bowl are wayyyy smaller now, it used to be so big, my wife used to not be able to finish it. We went straight to Cane’s right after we were done.
I really enjoyed it! I got the bowl with half white half brown rice and both the green curry with the chili and lemongrass sauces mixed and got chicken as my protein. I loved the flavor combination and staff was helpful!

Everyone needs to go to this location! I had a the best customer experience that could have been the worst experience and I want to promote how honest and kind these employees are- they were having computer issues at their register and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable with my transaction. Not only will I continue to come here all of the time I will make sure to think if this place first for all of my upcoming lunch events. Thanks for being so accomodating!

Meatballs were removed from the menu, probably won't return as I find the chicken and steak both very dry
