Yao Buffet Sushi Grill - Asheville

Watch out this place made me sick. I had to vomit before I left. I did not notice the 88 sanitation grade until I was leaving the restaurant. Our waitress serving us was nice though.

It was bigger than I expected when we first arrived! The atmosphere is nice and there’s tons of seating areas. The staff were also very friendly and attentive! We enjoyed a lot of the food offered, but I especially recommend ordering a beef pho noodle soup! The broth was delicious! Overall I’d say this buffet was one of the best we’ve been to so far! :

The food and service quality has gone way down hill since the last time we ate there. Their sanitation grade has declined too. Don't plan on going back no time soon.

Much better than the shogun buffet. It is a solid place to go for a good meal.

As far as buffets go Yao is pretty solid. Big spacious building with a good amount of options to choose from. My own gripe is that their sushi selection is only rolls and no nigiri. I really like their shu mei. All in all I'd give the place 3.5/5 stars.
