" YAO is an upscale restaurant that tries to blend modern techniques with classic Cantonese recipes. While some dishes were flavorful, a few missed the mark in terms of maintain authenticity. Service was good, but I'd rate the overall experience average because it didn't fully meet my expectations. I'd suggest it mainly for those looking for a chic atmosphere rather than true Cantonese flavor. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an excellent experience at YAO for lunch. The wok hei in their fried rice was perfect, and the dishes were very well-prepared with quality ingredients. I tried some dim sum, which was lovely, albeit a bit on the higher side price-wise. The decor is modern yet traditional, a pleasant fusion that I appreciate. I will definitely come back to try their tasting menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" We took a family trip to YAO after hearing great things, and it lived up to the hype! The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious with a modern twist on traditional dishes. The beggar's chicken was definitely the highlight of the meal, perfect seasoning. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an elevated Cantonese experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to YAO left me feeling mixed. While the vibe is cozy and upscale, the food didn't meet my expectations. I had the char siu, which was alright but not as flavorful as I had hoped. The service was prompt, but I couldn't help but feel that they were trying too hard to be fancy. Overall, a fine experience but I am not sure if I would return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" YAO was a bit overrated in my opinion. The prices were steep, and while I appreciate the modern ambiance, I feel like the dishes didn’t resonate with genuine Cantonese flavors. The service was friendly, but I left a bit underwhelmed. Perhaps it's better for people who prioritize looks over authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to YAO for a Friday night dinner and was amazed! The atmosphere was electric, filled with soft music and beautiful decor. The food was top-notch, easily some of the best Cantonese I've ever had outside of China. The service was attentive and friendly, making the entire evening enjoyable. Can’t wait to return to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant is visually striking, and we had high hopes for the food. While some dishes were indeed tasty, a few lacked seasoning and freshness. The service was friendly yet a bit slow despite the restaurant being only half full. Overall, it was alright, but given the prices, I expected a bit more. Not sure if I’d return anytime soon.
