Taylor R.

It had been quite sometime since I had been to Zao! My husband and I were feeling something on the lighter side so we came here. The service was average. The employees didn't really seem to be that helpful or really care about their jobs too much. The food was pretty good but the portion size of the chicken was lacking in my opinion. In addition, I was given hardly any broccoli mix. I really like the yellow curry sauce. I would definitely recommend that one over the green curry sauce. The green curry sauce doesn't have too much flavor in my opinion. I really really like the crispy onions, peanuts, and cilantro on top. I would definitely like to come back give it another chance. I see a lot of people getting the tacos but those don't look very good to me, considering the fact that they give you the tiniest amount of meat and the tortillas are just some generic tortilla brand.

Spicy Ginger something with chicken

Delish fast food spot. You build a bowl or sandwich like at Subway, but much healthier and super tasty!!! 4 stars because there were several dirty tables, but it's just because they had been busy, which is GOOD just unpleasant to look at while eating. Also the bathroom was stinky, but you can't really control that

I went here on Monday later in the afternoon around 3 pm. It wasn't busy at all so that was nice I could easily get a front row parking spot and walk in, get my food, and walk right out in less than 5 minutes. All their ingredients were fresh and delicious. I love their yakisoba noodle bowls! I got half chicken half steak because I couldn't decide and with tiger sauce and zao way, with all the toppings.

I've always had excellent service at this location. The staff is super kind and they don't look at you funny when you ask nicely for extra cilantro (which everywhere they should be fine with because it's like a penny!). Tip: Get the Tiger sauce--it is the best! It's a combo of teriyaki sauce, spicy aioli, and chili sauce. It has the perfect kick. Get it so they never get rid of it. Thank you Lehi Zão for not only being considerate but providing delicious options for both the indulger and health nut! I know I can be both when I come here.

The upscale version of Panda Express, delicious, not as greasy, and their curry sauces are super yummy! (And a bit spicy) The staff was so very friendly and the sweet corn leaves the best taste in your mouth! They also have brownies available and all sorts of fresh drinks, sodas, or Fiji water!

The teriyaki chicken noodle bowl was delicious! We also tried the chicken pot stickers which were extra yummy with the dipping sauce.

Zao has good food and fast service. I'd like to get a bit more food, for the buck, but it's worth a try for a twist on Asian cuisine.

A Sushi Spot That Earns Regular Status Tsunami Traverse…read moreMountain checks all the boxes. Great ambience, friendly staff, a menu broad enough to satisfy any mood, and food that delivers on what it promises. This one has earned a regular spot in my rotation. If you arrive before 3:00 pm, do yourself a favor and order from the combo lunch menu. For a good price, you get miso soup, white rice, pork gyoza, and tempura vegetables, and then choose two items from a list that includes chicken, rolls, and sashimi. The gyoza and tempura alone are worth calling out, both done well. I went with the spicy tuna roll and steak teriyaki and did not regret either choice. Now for the rolls. The Tsunami Roll is the signature and it earns that title, order it without hesitation. The Spicy Masa and Fire Breathing Dragon round out my personal top three and I have yet to be disappointed by any of them. The two areas where they could level up: the wait for food is longer than the lunch setting calls for, so come with patience and plan accordingly. And for a restaurant with rolls this photogenic, a printed menu with photos would go a long way.

Heard great things about this res and had a lunch here today…read more Service 5 stars! Our waitress was awesome. Ambient 5 stars The selection of rolls seemed to be limited in my opinion. I ordered a lunch box with spicy tuna and salmon teriyaki. I liked that they served teriyaki sauce separately. But the spicy tuna,,,,, the tuna was not fresh and it was not spicy tuna I am used to from the bay area. I had one and did not touch the rest of the rolls. You know the fishy taste you get when it is not fresh. Rice in the roll was not properly cooked, was al dente-this is big no. They have house made ice cream which we ordered three different flavors: vanilla, coconut & strawberry. They were Amazing! My 3 stars is for their sush roll.

I dont often review restaurants because i find most average at best. Some are terrible, they might…read moreget a review, but a few I really like. Those that I like have to meet a few requirements that I have for eating. I have celiacs, so i avoid gluten at all cost, including any moderate chance of cross contamination, Corn also bothers me so another food that I avoid. beyond that I am picky with what goes into my food and how the food is prepared. Now to the review. the first thing I do at any restaurant is ask about their gluten free options and about cross contamination. This was the first day that the Provo location was open, so I expected there would be blank stares. believe it or not that happens a lot. Here they knew about some of the food but not all of it when it came to my questions. So they went back to ask, "I want to make sure so let me ask". the next thing i knew I was speaking to the owner, going over all of the items and the options I had and what to avoid. He made some suggestions and we went ahead with our order. I got. the tri tip steak and my wife got gnochi. Oh another thing about how i like my food. I like the ingredients, steak, potatoes, vegetables, etc, seasoned and not the other way around. I find a lot of places over season their food. Not here. the steak, veggies, and mashed potatoes were lightly seasoned, just enough to enhance the flavor but not overwhelm the core ingredient. the steak was tender, the vegetables perfectly cooked and seasoned. I didn't even try and figure our what seasonings they used, I just enjoyed the meal. Short of this part of the meal, fantastic. With the gnochi, we had a little bit of an issue. There was a problem with how they were cooked, they were a little stiffer than they should be, but the sauce they were in was fantastic. BTW, they are not gluten free, so this is my wife's perspective. When they asked how our meal was we mentioned that to them. They looked at the gnochi and agreed. they then didn't just correct the issue, but went above and beyond. They asked if we wanted something else, made a suggestion since we couldn't decide and prepared that for us. They also did something else while we were there. They tried to make more batches of the gnocchi, not for us but so that they could see what went wrong. Then came back and told us what they had done and the results. The service was some of the best I have ever had. They had a good selection of gluten free options, depending on your sensitivity your options might change, but there are plenty of options and a few that are not on the menu. The owner suggested a burger on mashed potatoes, even though they have a gluten free bun. My gluten sensitvity is pretty high, so he was providing as many options for me as possible. All in all, I really liked the food, the service, and the attention to my food sensitivities.
