Heard good things about this place but i guess i went on a bad night. The good: part of my meal was the sweet and spicy chicken wrap. The flavors popped and had just the right amount of sauce on it. The bad: ordered a side of fried shrimp and the mac and cheese bites. The fried shrimp was 6 little pieces of shrimp dipped in oil and over cooked. Seemed like they forgot to dip them in flour/fish fry or anything to give them a fried shrimp texture or look. They just came out like sauté shrimp. And the mac and cheese bites was fried great but it seemed like they used easy mac to make it which made them dry and flavorless. Lastly the fries was soggy and over seasoned. The only thing i would recommend on the menu is wrap.
I came here on a late Saturday night around 1:30 am and there was already a small crowd gathering up. Even with the cornavirus crisis, there was still a small crowd to get their food to go. I ordered the famous Yochefs Burger. It was $12 but definitely worth it. It was very thick and juicy. I loved the special sauce and onions inside of it. It definitely filled me up. It also came with Cajun fries that were just simply amazing. I highly recommend this place your in the Chamblee/Brookhaven/Atlanta area and hungry for some great late night food. I can't wait to come back and try some more different foods.
I enjoyed this spot. It's open until 4am on the weekends and beats Waffle House (I get sick of IHOP or Waffle House for late night food). Now this isn't Michelin star food, but for late night food it's superb. You can't go wrong with the wings or the fries here. When you're looking for late night food in Atlanta and the bummy fast-food places won't do, this is your spot!
This place has fabulous food at very reasonable prices, and they will gladly customize anything on the menu. The owner and employees are incredibly nice. We did a 12-person birthday party there and they set it up for us with tablecloths, a banner and balloons! I wasn't sure if they could accommodate us, so I filled out the form on their website and was definitely impressed when the owner called me back within 30 minutes. Everyone had a great time, and the food was not only delicious, the portion sizes were large enough that we all had at least one leftover meal afterwards.
If I could eat yo chef everyday I would. The food is beyond amazing. The food is always prepared in a timely manner. The pasta is just to die for, if you need a late night spot definitely pull up and check them out!
I was very enamored by this place, at first. I thought - Wow! This looks like a great place with a menu that sets it apart from just about all other restaurants. Then reality set in. I came here with two others last week in the early evening. There was only one other person sitting in the restaurant at the time. The woman at the counter was very helpful answering questions about the food, and offered suggestions that were helpful with selecting which items we wanted. After ordering, we sat at one of the picnic tables inside, and caught up with everything that happened since the last time we were together. The first of our food came out after about 20 minutes. The YoChef Wrap (chicken wrap) came first, but it came with cajun fries instead of the sweet potato fries that were ordered. About 5 minutes later, the Sweet & Spicy Pasta (linguine) and a bottle of cold tap water was brought to us. This is when one of my friends let the server know that she didn't get the sweet potato fries as ordered, and was apologized to and told that they will make it right for her with the correct fries. About 5 minutes later, my meal, YoChef Tibs (beef) was brought to me. About 10 minutes later, the sweet potato fries were brought out. I didn't try the chicken wrap, but my two friends shared it and the linguine, and they both said the wrap was good. I shared the tibs and rice meal, and it was okay. The rice was a little on the dry side, and the beef (cut in cubes) was well done. The beef was marinated and had good flavor, but was chewy. I was offered some "really hot" sauce to try on the meat, but it wasn't even hot to me. Although the linguine was shared between my two friends, they didn't even eat half of it. Nor did they want to take it home. I tried it and it was spicy, but just average. This restaurant is in a strip mall, and one of its selling point is that it's open until 4 am. Many businesses share the free parking lot, and parking spaces are always available. I rate this place 3 stars. I feel that most of the food is overpriced, and the service is slow. This restaurant prides itself on making healthy food for people. I can think of a lot of other restaurants that sell healthy quality food that isn't as expensive, and they bring everyone in groups their food at the same time.
I hate to do this but I need to say... why is there only 4 pcs of shrimp in the whole pasta dish?

Very tasty food! Shout out to this place for being open so late with such tasty food. Located in a busy shopping center with a fun night life. You go inside and order your food on the screen. The workers are mostly in the back unless they are bringing your food out. The sitting is like picnic style with cool art on the way. The pasta portion size is huge. I got an entree and was disappointed but the portion size so will not order again. The wait was a little lengthy but I think you can order ahead. The price is like restaurant $$$ so depending on your budget... do what is best for you lol I would eat here again but try something else that is not an entree. read more
Their burger was good. Cajun fries was okay but pretty expensive. $5 for a small side of Cajun fries. Food took a while but hopefully that means it's fresh. Food itself gets 4 star but price and wait time gets 3 star. Located in a plaza so easy parking. Open late which is nice too read more

Nice staff comfortable seating bright nice decor. Went with the beef sliders at their recommendation and it was just not that great. I know this is one item on one random night so I will repeat based on photos and the other reviews, but this visit was not great. Essentially they took a burger and cut it into three slices that did not properly fit the bun and added cheese pico and some mayo sauce. The fries were under cooked and looked different than what I saw in the photos. The burger was over cooked and really not spectacular. I plan to come back to try something different but first attempt was eh. read more

Don't you get excited when you find a new Gem in the city, will this place is it!!!! I have past by this place several times and never went in even though people told me it was good, but I'm happy I finally tried it. It is spotless in this place (bathroom too) a person with OCD dream lol... it's very casual with picnic style benches and pop art on the walls... when you walk in it doesn't smell like food. The cashier was very helpful and greeted me as soon as I walked in.. she let me taste two signature sauce so she could guide me to the right meal. I had the Marley pasta two days in a row, it is so Gooodddd man... I don't know what's in that sauce but I want a bottle of it. It was topped with a chargrilled salmon.. I would like my salmon medium but it was more welldone. I should've told them that, but all in all my experience was great.. they make all dishes fresh so if your in a rush you should order in advance... read more

New restaurant specializing in healthier food options that is different from its neighbors on Buford Highway. Yo! Chef What's Cooking is the latest restaurant that allows diners to customize their breakfast, lunch, or dinner to their liking. Build your own salad is a common offering in Atlanta, but this restaurant also has build your own pasta, build your own sandwich, and build your own breakfast. If this is overwhelming for you, there are several pre-built salads, sandwiches, and pastas that you can choose from. Vegetables are on display at the front counter and proteins are cooked to order. The seating in the restaurant consists of several long picnic tables that will accommodate medium sized groups. Location/Parking: Yo! Chef What's Cooking? is located at the corner of Clairmont Road and Buford Highway. Turn right from Clairmont Road and the restaurant will be on the right. Aldi's and Burger King are located in the same plaza. There is plenty of parking available in the lot for the plaza. Food: Yo Chef! Salad ($16.00) - I was too lazy to make my own creation, so I picked the Yo Chef! salad. This salad consisted of greens, feta cheese, tomatoes, beets, onion, cucumbers, and a generous portion of salmon. I chose the Italian dressing, but was offered lemon or caesar dressing. The vegetables were fresh. There was plenty of onion, cucumbers, and red beets. I didn't notice too much of the feta cheese. Salmon was good, but could have benefited either from more citrus or more seasoning. I thought the dressing needed more punch too - either more sweetness or zest. The salad has the right ingredients and a very large portion size, but I think the flavor profile could be enhanced more to create a great entree overall. Service: Food is ordered at the counter and brought to the table. The food took about 20 minutes to come out, but the salmon was cooked fresh and served hot. The server was very accommodating and polite. Verdict: Yo! Chef What's Cooking? definitely adds variety to the current selection of restaurants on Buford Highway. Its selling points are its highly customizable entrees that come in different forms (pasta, sandwich, or salad) and that your meal can be extremely healthy. These selling points can justify the entree price here, which is higher than what you'll see on the rest of Buford Highway. read more

This place is a hidden gem! We came on a weekday evening and the place was almost empty. I got a yo chef wrap and it was $12 - slightly more expensive for a fast food place. But the servers are very nice, and the food was very good! Definitely hit the spot :) read more

Late night quality food but the flavor is lacking. Its still a nice late night alternative to the rest of the late night options. If I return I will definitely request more flavor. This place is in a busy shopping center with a good amount of bar/club/lounge options so be prepared for the crowd. read more

I've been here about 3-4 times this month already! I am totally in love with cajun shrimp pasta. One of the many FEW places that are actually open late nights to cater to those who party into the morning. The staff is friendly and is always willing to help recommend food if you're stuck between a few items. You can eat there or take it to go. I enjoy the welcoming vibes and the great food! Excuse the photos if they're blurry they were screenshots from my video. read more

I've been to this location 2 times. The food is delicious! I am giving it a 4 star rating because I do believe they could train cashiers on the products they sell. When I asked for a recommendation she didn't know any dishes on the menu and when I showed her pictures on Yelp of the meals, she couldn't tell me what it was. Also this place has NO A/C! It is 90+ degrees outside and you are paying $20+ for a dish to sit inside a restaurant that has uncomfortable benches and no A/C. The restaurant could use some improvements but overall the service is okay! read more

We walked in and were kindly welcomed by Dawit, who patiently answered all of our questions about the so many tasty choices on the menu, including the option to build your own entree from top to bottom. We settled on the "Honey" and "YoChef Pasta" and both were absolutely delicious!! The YoChef sauce is light and creamy, pairing well with the pasta and rice without being overwhelming. This spot is Black-owned, and open super late every day of the week. This won't be my last time here! read more
