    Potato shoots
    Allison H.

    I came here a couple times and I am in love with their Pickled Fish soup! There is plenty of seating around 5pm but gets full around 6-7pm. They don't have a lot of staff working so if you go when it's packed, the staff won't be as attentive. My family I ordered the Golden Soup Pickled Fish, Sweet and Sour Pork, Half Roast Duck, Potato Shoots, Rice and Chengdu Ice Jelly. Everything was delicious! The fish is so soft and the soup is very flavorful! It paired nicely with rice. I've gotten the fresh noodles before but I prefer rice more because you can taste the soup more. The sweet and sour pork was crispy and appetizing. The roast duck was meaty and had a nice layer of skin. The potato shoots were aromatic and cooked to perfection. Lastly, you cannot forget the Chengdu Ice Jelly! It's very refreshing and I love the coconut milk and all the toppings in this dessert. Not only does their food look aesthetically pleasing, they taste really good! They have a wide variety of items to choose from. Next time, I'd like to try their clay pots!

    String beans

    Talk about restaurants with identity crisis... There are 2 restaurants connected offering totally different types of food... the blue side specializes in spicy Sichuan cuisine while the yellow side offers Cantonese grill and BBQ items. But you can sit at either side and order from both. You do get more options but for first-timers it can be a bit confusing. Food wise, they tasted pretty good. When you get to have 2 types of cuisines in one place you mix and match. From the Sichuan side we ordered the speciality spicy sauerkraut fish, string beans, and spicy shrimps. None of the items were really spicy, but flavorful. The shrimp dish came with fries... I am very certain fries are not part of Chinese cuisine, but I can't lie the fries tasted good with the shrimps. From the Cantonese side we got the Blackgold Char siew, the soy sauce chicken, the vegan chow fan, and clay pot rice with sausages. Again the food tasted good and the best part was the burnt rice from the clay pot. YUM! We got another order of the blackgold char siew as we do have a growing teen boy in the party that day. The place was buzzing and happening. And not surprisingly a bit noisy. I would have given them 4 stars if not for the service. The speed was a bit slow we got the char siew/chicken platter about 10 minutes after submitting the order through the tablet provided. We finished the platter and waited another 10-15 minutes for the next item. The rest came up more quickly but there was this very awkward period of staring at an empty plate... It took a while to get all the dishes, but they were rushing us and kept asking if we want boxes... no we are still eating. I understand there were many people waiting but let me enjoy my food in peace please. For that I downgraded to 3 stars. The food alone definitely warrants return trips.

    Updating this review to 4.5/5! We went back and their service was top notch! Food came out quick and the staff was attentive and friendly even though they were quite busy. Food was just as good as previous visits.

    Duck dish
    Eileen R.

    This was my first time eating here and I really enjoyed it. The food was full of flavor. I ordered the duck dish, and it was delicious, but I'd love to come back and try their other dishes. The place has a cute, colorful ambiance that's very inviting. They even had a robot server, which made the experience fun and unique!

    Haven't been here for a while. Today we came, a group of 6, so we got to try more dishes. We requested less salt less oil, it turned out great. Their food sometimes tends to be on the salty side. The dessert we used to love was not as good as before, perhaps because it is close to its closed time. Will try the dessert again. Highly recommend.

    Great food all around at Yao Yao. Their fish soup is amazing and full of flavor, definitely a standout dish. The fish is fresh, and the bbq pork and roast pork are both really well done and satisfying. Everything tasted comforting and thoughtfully prepared. This is a spot I would happily come back to and recommend to anyone looking for a solid meal. Highly recommended.

    I was impressed: - nice bright clean ambiance - easy iPad ordering - no extra fees for hot tea and it's tropical! - loved the shrimp chive dim sum, it's made to order so be prepared to wait a bit - all shrimp and chives with a thin rice wrapper - excellent service - very warm and hospitable - um super rare and unexpected, felt almost other worldly - portions are average Pig ears are spiced nicely with some of the numbing mala. Could be sliced thinner but it seems that the Liang Village standard is NOT the standard. Lots of raw garlic - perfect for this immune boosting season. Pea sprouts could have been trimmed better - especially at $20 for a smaller portion. All in all, I would come back for the delicate MTO dim sum - I heard the siu mai is great!

    Dinner Spread

    Absolutely love this place. The food was delicious. We had 5 people and ordered 6 dishes. The most memorable ones were: Beef Chow Fun- Absolutely can't miss with this. The flavor was excellent. Beef was tender. There was plenty of wok hay flavor, the flavor you get when you cook with an extremely high heat. Delicious. Stir fried pork spicy pork belly - Delicious. I would be able to eat heaping amounts of rice with this. It had numbing spice to it and an incredible amount of flavor. Umami bursts were going off on my palate. Preserved meat clay pot rice - Delicious and oh so plenty. I love that the rice was cooked really well and the preserved meat added a ton of flavor to the rice. The only thing that was a tiny bit off with this dish was how salty it is. BUT it didn't takeaway how good the rice was overall as a whole.

    Came here to try the fish filet with peppercorn and pickled mustard greens and YaoYao did not disappoint! My friend and I ordered the two flavors, the pickled mustard greens vers and the sichuan pepper version. Both, paired with rice, is like a warm hug from your Chinese grandma. The twice cooked pork with wood ear mushrooms was also flavorful; thinly sliced and not too fatty, which is the perfect balance. We also ordered the cucumber salad for some crunch and refreshing bite. The all-aqua theme of the restaurant is cute and fun. Lots of large tables for big groups, and the service was friendly and attentive as well.

    HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Not only was our server rude, he was running around the restaurant like a chicken with its head cut off. We had questions about the menu and his tone made us sound like idiots. He threw the iPad on the table and said to just order from there. We wouldn't be asking questions if we knew the answer to them. My mom had to physically go find another worker to get our order sorted out! We ended up ordering their popular soy sauce chicken and fish with pickled cabbage. The food was decent but not the service (see pictures). As a paying customer, I will NOT be dining here ever again!

    I originally came to Fusion Delight because of the purple interior…read more Seriously. The giant lotus chandeliers, the deep violet lighting, the old-school banquet hall atmosphere - it immediately reminded me of the large Cantonese restaurants that used to define family dining in the Bay Area years ago. But after eating here during a packed weekend dinner service, I realized the real attraction is not the decor. It is the operational consistency. The dining room was completely full, with a long line of people still waiting outside. Under that kind of pressure, many large Chinese restaurants start losing control somewhere: fried dishes soften, stir-fries lose wok hei, food arrives unevenly, service becomes rushed. Fusion Delight somehow keeps the system together. And what impressed me even more was that the staff never became impatient. Even with the restaurant running at full capacity, the servers stayed friendly, patient, and organized. No chaos, no attitude - just steady service under pressure. That is not easy in a restaurant this size. The Mongolian beef was the first thing that stood out. Instead of thin slices hidden under sauce, the beef here is cut unusually thick and long - some pieces nearly two inches. Thick-cut beef is risky because once overcooked it immediately turns tough, but here the meat stayed tender while still carrying proper wok sear and caramelization. That tells me the kitchen understands heat control and timing. The crispy pork intestines were even more impressive. These were clearly braised first, then fried before the final stir-fry. The outside kept its gelatin-rich texture while the inside still carried fat and aroma, but without the unpleasant odor that ruins this dish at weaker restaurants. Even people who normally avoid intestine dishes could probably eat this version comfortably. That level of cleaning and pre-processing matters. The braised lamb with skin was another old-school banquet dish done correctly. The lamb was soft without collapsing, while the skin still retained structure. More importantly, the prep work was meticulous -- no gamey smell, no rough trimming, no shortcuts. The sea cucumber and pork tendon dish also showed strong banquet-kitchen fundamentals. The pork tendon had clearly been oil-expanded beforehand, giving it that proper soft and elastic texture instead of rubbery chewiness. The sea cucumber still retained bite and structure. The Singapore-style rice noodles and scallop egg white fried rice were textbook Cantonese banquet staples. The rice noodles stayed dry and separated while still carrying wok aroma and oil fragrance. The scallop egg white fried rice looked simple, but every grain remained distinct and lightly coated without clumping together. That level of consistency under volume is difficult. Even the red bean dessert soup at the end was handled carefully. The red beans still held their shape instead of dissolving into paste, while the sago remained fully intact and translucent. Most restaurants stop caring once dessert leaves the kitchen. Fusion Delight clearly does not. And honestly, that may be the best way to describe this restaurant overall. Fusion Delight is not trying to be trendy. It is not trying to become minimalist fine dining. It is not trying to be social-media bait. This is a high-volume Chinese banquet restaurant operating with old-school Cantonese production discipline. Hot food arrives hot. Fried dishes stay crisp. Wok hei survives peak hours. Plating still looks intentional during a packed dinner service. That kind of consistency is harder than people think. And somehow, inside a giant purple dining room filled wall-to-wall with families, they make it work. - Dr. C Purple room approved. Wok heat calibrated. Banquet discipline detected. Consistency at scale = correct.

    Visited here with my friends on a Wednesday morning…read more The restaurant opens at 10:30 AM, and we arrived a bit early--there were already a few customers waiting outside. However, within about an hour, the restaurant was almost full. Even though it wasn't the weekend, it was still very busy. This is one of my favorite dim sum spots because the food is consistently delicious, especially the siu mai--it's a must-try! The service is fast and friendly, which makes the experience even better. There is also plenty of parking, which is a big plus. The restaurant is spacious, with beautiful purple lighting that really catches the eye. The high ceiling also makes the space feel very open and comfortable. Although this place doesn't have the highest ratings on Yelp, it's definitely still very popular and worth visiting.

We quickly realized that a lot of people who entered were placing their names on a clipboard to the left. We did the same and the wait time was about 10min.

So if you have a bigger party on the weekend, be prepared to wait. You can also place an order at the register if you choose takeout, no need to wait. We got seated pretty fast and were handed menus right away. The waitress also brought us cups and water. The menu looked amazing. We ended up ordering the following: 1. Beef stew with crispy noodles - 7/10 we went with the pictured selection instead of rice and I think rice would have been q better option. The dish itself was huge and really good. 2. Tomyum spaghetti - 9/10 this portion was HUGE. The tomyum mixed with spaghetti was really good. 3. Hot coffee - 10/10 my husbands favorite. They sweeten this ahead of time. 4. Lemon honey tea - 10/10 wow was this drink good! 5. Cold cucumber salad - 10/10 huge portion but it came out after our meals.

There's usually a pretty good line right by the register, so this place is pretty well known by the Asian locals. Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup ($16/2*) First outing here I sat for lunch and tried this. Surprisingly disappointing seeing how busy and popular this place is. The wontons were okay, decent flavor with a strong sesame oil presence. But they weren't that plump and luxurious, just seemed like homemade/amateur versions. Which is fine, except given the nicer restaurant feel, I just expected something more elevated. The noodles were fine, super thin egg noodles that had a nice QQ. BUT their broth was so bland and unremarkable that it kinda ruined the whole experience. I couldn't even taste/detect the protein that made up the stock, just tasted like murky liquid to me. And zero condiments on the table, so I just ate the wontons and the plain tasting noodles cuz the broth couldn't offer anything to the noodles. Womp womp. And their bowl of choice is very weird to eat from. Super tall bowl that if you leave a spoon in there it will sink and be submerged for you to fish out...in piping hot liquid. If I would have reviewed this place just on this one visit, then it surely would have been a sub 3* rating. But I knew I couldn't leave my impression with that one lone visit. Roast Duck - Half ($20/4*) Came back for some take-out deli items and I was handsomely rewarded. Total 180 experience from the soup outing. Their ducks here are slightly more expensive than most others for the area. But it is still worth it imo. They cut it with good skill and even for a take-out box they present it nicely, with the shape of duck still somewhat intact. The skin is not crisp at all but it is very well rendered. Some pieces were not that salty at all but some other pieces are well seasoned, which I thought was strange. But overall a very solid roast duck is to be found here. There's also a big scoop of these tiny beans that are slightly sweet almost like baked beans just not as gloopy. But the bean texture is very al dente, almost crunchy, which I found very strange. Macao Roast Pork w/ Rice ($19/4.5*) This is crazy good...I'll even say special. Super seasoned pork belly is roasted til the skin gets crisp...like chicharon status, except it is just a very thin layer of crispness. So the balance between the sturdy crunch and juicy flavorful meat was practically perfect. It is definitely on the salty side, almost the same intenseness as eating Spam with white rice, but white rice offsets those salty components beautifully. And they garnish this massive plate with perfectly blanched gai lan (Chinese Broccoli) and some other pickled greens that add a nice sweet and tangy component. So between the decadent pork, white rice and diverse greens offerings just made this a complete one stop shop that could make a regular out of me. There's also a Share Tea next door so I've got a harmonious tandem going on here. Lucky Ducky Me yassss!

We ordered: Green Beans, Salt and pepper chicken wings, shrimp fried rice (Everyone's least favorite dish), Chow Fun, duck, and probably some other dishes. The green beans were the best dish. The chicken wings were good, but not as flavorful as people hoped, they probably won't be ordered again. The fired rice was a big disappointed, it had shrimp in it, but it lacked flavor. We didn't get a soup. We also had a steamed fish which was really good, coming from a not big fish fan. It was seasoned with soy sauce and was a big hit with the table. Even my picky nephew ate some. We also had calamari, it wasn't a big hit, we didn't even take it home with the leftovers. We all got tea and we asked for ice water for everyone which was drank along with the tea. If you request it they will bring out forks, my brother in law made the request. I was impressed even the kids used chopsticks. I definitely reccomend this restaurant. Especially for large groups. It's set up for banquets. I can't comment on the bathroom, because we didn't use it.

    I came here on the weekend around noon with some friends and this place was packed. Surprisingly,…read morethere was no one in line and we were seated right away. I guess this was when it started to get less busy. Within an hour, half the diners were already gone. Service was a little slow. They did not have enough servers working all the tables. Our server barely came back to check in on us. The only thing we needed were extra tea refills. The food on the other hand came out in a timely manner and were steaming hot when they got to our table. We ordered about a dozen dishes and they were all delicious. My favorite dish was the Golden Tofu Cube with Salted Egg. It was a little salty and the inside was soft while the outside was crispy. I also liked the Stir Fried XO Sauce Rice Rolls. It was flavorful, tender and I thought they used the right amount of sauce for my liking. The dining area was quite big. It looked like they had just hosted a party the night before since their speakers equipment were still out. This place did have a parking lot which might look big but it could easily fill up during their busy hours. I was lucky to find an open spot when I got here.

    I used to go there years ago and it was really good. Not sure what's happened in the years since…read morebut it is really, really bad. The baked pork buns are good - slightly different in that there's no glaze on them but the outside was crispy and the inside tender and the filling was tasty - they are why I'm giving 2 stars. The honey walnut prawns were inedible - the sauce was hard lumpy globs sitting randomly on top of fried shrimps, truly disgusting. The scallion pancakes were not crispy or flaky - Trader Joe's are better. The tofu rolls were cold on one side, like refrigerator cold, while the other side was lukewarm. The jellyfish salad had no flavor whatsoever, just the very slightest hint of sesame. No salt, nothing. The seaweed salad was decent. The deep fried mochi puffs with meat filling were bad. The outer shell was too thick so the inside was uncooked and doughy. Inedible. And, the cold chicken feet were so tough they were in edible. I didn't know you could make chicken feet like that, so tough. Again not really any flavor, they were just tossed with a little bit of chili sauce and hardly any of that. And no vinegar chili sauce for dipping. I would not recommend.
