YAO pays culinary homage to the vibrant Yaowarat neighborhood in Bangkok, an ancient Thai-Chinese community.

As you can imagine, the neighborhood is a paradise for food lovers because this cultural blending has created some of the most delicious eats on Earth. Spicy, crunchy, tangy and delectable dishes are handed down over many generations.

We created this restaurant to have the look, feel and tastes of Yaowarat, and we cant wait to share our food with you! Once more, we welcome you and yours to YAO.

    Overall amazing experience. Went here on a date night & it was truly mesmerizing. Only thing though, I found a piece of hair in my food. The server was very helpful about that issue & it was easily resolved with no issues. I would still recommend going!

    I really enjoyed the yellow tail snapper and delicious ribeye steak (crouching tiger). Such flavor filled dishes and had the cinnamon old fashioned cocktail.

    Me and my wife came on a Saturday night before a rush hour so I guess I can give a pass to the service ignoring us for a while while, but the food was plain and expensive for what it was, and they charged gratuity for parties of two which is just funny. They also asked what the occasion was for when I was setting the reservation(it was our wedding anniversary), but nothing was special about it. Honestly, the atmosphere was nice but everything else was just so average.
