Zao Asian Cafe

Wow! ~What a pleasant surprise!I was here yesterday and got a wrap with noodles, tofu ++, & it was so very good!There was enough to bring home for dinner + it was reasonable + the lime drink was amazing. The cafe is very clean & the young lady helping me made great recommendations. Definitely recommend it, & I am going back tomorrow...

For that quick meal that is not burger or pizza, this is an awesome alternative. I have been to this location several times and I m still bit confused with ordering. However, I'm always happy with what I ended up getting. By the way, very friendly staff. This restaurant is clean, well laid out and got lots of seating, including spacious patios.I ended up getting soba noodles (has bits of cabbage) with chicken as protein. After that you can add additional toppings and sauce. I got the broccoli, corn and carrots with diakon. Topped with delicious sauce called chili with lemon grass. Yummy.Finally signed up for their reward program and got 40 points for this purchase. It's definitely a great alternative to Panda Express. I'm gonna miss yourdeep-friedd orange chicken.

Zao (this location and Hampden location) have been consistent in both service and quality. As if to say that people who work there don't have the work "disappoint" in their dictionary. This has been my go-to place for Asian fast food when I'm in a hurry. The fact that what they put into your bowl upon request is convenient as those vending machines seen in Japan, as long as you like the type of food they serve, you feel like you can always get food from this navigating through your daily hectic schedule. This place also offers inflation fighting prices. The bowl I got today was $11 with some change. And it's quite r the volume! I wonder how long they will keep what they currently doing to serve quality food with friendly prices. I haven't conquered the whole menu and yet it won't be long until I get to taste everything that they offer. The restaurant is also immaculately spotless no matter when. They seem know what they are doing.

Curiosity wins! So it all started with a coworker's lunch. I was walking by and saw her enjoying something I had never seen before so I asked her where she got it and she said, "Zao off Cottonwood!" I knew I had to go. When I arrived at Zao I was unsure what I saw at work but described it in 10 words-- it was green, had steak, and other yummy ingredients inside! The register person said, "Oh, you want the bahn mi wrap!" Let's do this! They let me choose ingredients so it was loaded with steak, rice, carrots, cucumbers, jalapeños, and sauces. I left a two in the tip jar and the cashier mentioned he collected coins and bills! When I said that I did too and that I like the older eagle quarters he gave me an older 92 quarter!I found a seat with a simply spectacular view! I felt like an emperor on a hill. I took a bite and started to smile. Then took a second and third bite, and by the fourth it was Zaoabunga!! The combination of flavors and ingredients in this wrap definitely pop! When business slowed on the line the staff hustled and kept the seating area spotless. The kitchen was also spotless, which is difficult to do on a busy line. A gentleman came out and took my basket and foil and asked me how I liked it. Loved it! Take it from a long time Yelptastic this place is a must and won't break the bank.

I went here today for the first time and ordered one of their bowls with chicken, rice, noodles and lots of veggies and had a Lime Alioli sauce on top. It is Fabulously Delicious. The owl was a nice size an reasonably priced. I also got some chips and guacamole mixed with something else and it was also delicious. Their drinks are also so tasty. The gal was extremely helpful and polite. I will Definitely be back

As promised I would go back and give Zao another try. The food was fresh, the staff was nice and the restaurant was clean. The chicken had great flavor even without a sauce. The veggies were seasoned well and not over cook.My only recommendation is to have the rice noodles strained a bit more. It made the bottom of my bowl a little watery. We'll be going back and a new healthy option.

Welcome to Colorado, Zao! You're a welcomed addition to the Parker food scene! Where to begin...so many great things to Yelp about!The staff was so helpful and friendly. They also did a nice job keeping the restaurant clean and tidy, not an easy thing when it's busy.The menu offers lots of gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options...thank you, Zao! The food is fresh, original, and tasty! The options are varied but not overwhelming and Zao has all the bases covered. You can choose between bowls, tacos, salads, or banh mi wraps. Bowl bases are lettuce, rices (brown and white), and noodles. The proteins were fantastic and included chicken, steak, tofu, chicken meatballs, and vegetarian. I recommend the steak because it was tender and well seasoned. The meatballs were a different option to the typical proteins and they were great. Next you select sauces and fixings. I recommend the yellow curry for its hint of heat, but zesty freshness. Keep adding the toppings and you'll love how everything on the menu just work's together.Wishing Zao Asian Cafe and its crew success in your new home. We will definitely be back!

Highly recommend! Healthy and good quality food. The bowls are delicious and loved the tiger sauce!

Wonderful sushi, tea, miso soup, etc. The staff is excellent and we return there often. All their fish is truly fresh!

Looking for a great place to grab a healthy, tasty, and colorful meal, Zao's marks them all off the list! I add all the veggies and two sauces -mix it up. Great choice for a filling lunch meeting my color and texture needs. A trifecta location with a tasty selection of desserts next door at Paris Baguette and the always enticing Trader Joe's just steps away.Treat yourself, daffodil season is just around the corner!
