This was my first time at Yao. I received an email reminder that said the dress code was "business casual". So I bought a new sports jacket for my first date. When I got there, I saw people in jeans so that bothered me that they didn't dress to code and were allowed inside. Anyway, the food was good but a overpriced. It didn't taste any different than if I were to buy it at a cheap chain Chinese restaurant. The meal cost me $170 (after the tip) just for Mongolian beef, calamari, spring rolls, water, tea and a salmon dish with white rice. The waitress was attentive, the staff was professional, the ambiance was pleasant but the music was a little too loud which made conversation a challenging. I probably won't return because I have so many other choices for Chinese food that won't cost an arm and a leg but it's a great place to go if you want to impress your date.
