YaYas Cookbook

We had a hankering for some Orange Chicken, but wanted something different from the 500 take out restaurants in the city. We decided on YaYas. The first thing I noticed was how jam packed it was, which is a good sign. Surprisingly, there was no wait to get seated (tho, I think we did get the last table available. Sorry, group behind us). Our waitress was excellent. Our sodas never went less than half full. Our beer (her cider) came out quickly. We had the calamari as an appetizer, which was delicious! Really crispy, and the sauce was to die for. It wasn't a super large portion, but it worked out perfectly, because we had the orange chicken, and the portion was huge. And, I'm being perfectly truthful here, it was literally the best orange chicken I've ever had. The atmosphere was great. Ve

Outstanding menu of sushi, noodle and rice dishes with a nice drink menu to go with. Fun atmosphere that invites you to share an upscale lunch or weekend dinner with friends. Service was average, food was a bit disappointing because I could taste the flavor of blowtorch on my YaYa Roll and Delicious Roll. Thai Ceviche appetizer was very good. Prices were high but that's standard for sushi places these days.

Absolutely delicious and energetic spot for a fun date night! We enjoyed our panang curry , kao soi & sushi rolls. Yummy cocktails, too. Everyone was kind & attentive, bartenders were especially friendly when we had a drink while we waited for a table. Pretty busy for a Thursday, I’m sure it gets to be a long wait on weekends!

Great atmosphere with the holiday decor and welcoming vibe. Unfortunately, the food and service didn’t quite match the ambiance. The edamame took about 25 minutes to arrive at the table and 10 minutes later came our main entrees. The green curry was very good. However, the tuna mango roll looked like it was made by a 5 year old. The mango chunks were large and unripe, one of the pieces barely had any filler in it. Overall, I’d stick with the thai food and prepare for a wait.

Needed a quick bite after a long day. Even though it’s in a big plaza, YaYa’s is cleverly quirky and cute inside. Love the atmosphere! Online I had seen photos of birdcage seating at the bar which are no longer there BUT they had little foot bars on the barstools which is great especially if you’re petite! Was a little frustrated with service and a lady who was being brash & vulgar but hoping it was just an off day because other reviews don’t reflect the same experience. The food itself was SO GOOD. Kept it simple with a California Roll and the Coconut Soup. Will try this place again because…wow…I could drink that soup straight from a cup!
