Lots of great vegan options. I highly recommend the popcorn tofu - it has the perfect flavor and bite. Their curries are also great. Service is hit or miss.

WOW!!! My wife and I were visiting from out of town and thought we'd try this place. We were definitely not disappointed. Everything we ordered was spot on. Sushi, wonton, curry puff and the duck curry, sweet baby Jesus. It was blissfully good. Perfect balance of flavors. Our server was the sweetest lady. I didn't catch her name but she was adorable. The atmosphere has great vibes from the murals on the walls to the swinging bar seats. Amazing experience at an amazing place. Hit all marks.

Ordered shrimp tempura and chicken wings as appetizers. Brocolli and acrrots complimented the tempura well, and the wings were splendid! Although the outside may make the restaurant seem small, it can fit around 50 people. The walls are plastered with beautiful imagery of Asian culture. When we went, we got the only free table. However, wait times could be a menace. We also ordered the classic fried rice and drunken noodles and fried rice. They were incredibly filling! Overall, we had a great time at YaYa's and, although prices are a bit high, we would absolutely go there again!

This restaurant has great variety. Spicy, savory, sushi, and a great drink menu! It has something for everyone. The friendly atmosphere was relaxing. The decorations and seating were unique and fit the theme perfectly. They were a little understaffed but were still friendly and as attentive as possible.

I've been wanting to check out YaYas for a while now. A Richmond trip lined out and we were able to stop in. The dumplings were on point. I could've ordered more and made it a meal. The Thai fried deviled eggs were amazing. The green curry w chicken was amazing. The orange chicken left a little to be desired, but that won't stop me from coming back and trying more menu items.

I finally tried this hidden gem close to my job, and I’m kicking myself for waiting so long! The quality and flavor of the food blew me away—definitely some of the best Thai I’ve had. I love that they use fresh ingredients, which really shines through in every dish.
Huge shoutout to Sofia, who patiently helped me navigate the menu (I was accidentally looking at their other location’s options!). She made great suggestions that perfectly satisfied my cravings.
For just $62, I got a feast that was worth every penny. As someone who works in the industry, I can tell they genuinely care about their customers. I can’t wait to go back and explore more of their menu!

Great spot in a strip mall. Cool decor, good food, good drinks. Sushi is fresh.

I really wanted to love this place, but it fell short where it counted most: flavor. Starting with the positives, the decor is cool and immediately transports you to Southeast Asia! I probably should've just hung out at the bar--which looked quite fun, as did the drink menu--but it was 1 p.m. and I had a long drive ahead.
Getting to the food, I ordered the Tom Yum soup with shrimp. I love that it was served in a hotpot with a sterno flame that kept it hot the entire time. Excellent. The soup itself was hot in spice level as well, which is spot on for Tom Yum, but the red chilis completely overpowered any lemongrass or kaffir. Major bummer for the signature flavor profile. I was also disappointed that they used run-of-the-mill white buttons instead of oyster mushrooms, another hallmark of this dish. The shrimp were plentiful but small compared to what I encounter at pretty much every other restaurant when I get this soup.
Lastly...no Thai or Vietnamese coffee?! Huh. That's a puzzler, especially for a place with such an active bar. I stopped at a Pho spot about a mile away and grabbed one for the ride.
Excellent food
