Zao Asian Cafe

Food was, ok. The counter help was great, nice and helpful. Food was not memorable, no atmosphere, but the out door seating on a mid August day is nice. Being asked to tip when we have to order from a counter, seat ourselves, and clean up after ourselves, should not be rewarded. #notipfornoservice

Today I went to lunch at Zao restaurant in West Jordan, I was impressed with the cleanliness of the place, very pleasant atmosphere, delicious food, I ate the traditional bowl with chicken and had pomegranate juice, I liked everything especially the kind and friendly service from manager.

I was really craving Asian food and my friend had recommended this place. I got one of their bowls with Yaki soba noodles and steak. The flavor is really good and I really enjoyed my food. I think it’s hard to find a place that has all the flavors well balanced and this place has got them. Their drinks are really good. I tried the Thai Mango and really enjoyed it. However, I do feel the portions are small for the price I paid. I paid over $15 for the bowl and a fountain drink. I didn’t get full with the bowl and I’m a pretty small person. So if you’re really hungry this might not be the place for you. The girl preparing my bowl was so greedy. She literally picked only three small cilantro leaves for my bowl. I would go back if they weren’t so greedy. Maybe it was just my bad luck with the person serving that day at that time.
