Food was OK. Tons of variety. Good, but not great. Steamers made food appear hot, but it was tepid at best. The best part of the buffet is the freshly made dishes. Prices weren't bad, but going up October 1st. Staff was pleasant and attentive to drink refills. If you are looking for a good variety of decent Asian dishes, it's pretty good.

You can’t beat it. Great value for the price. I would say it’s the best Asian buffet that you will find in Asheville. It is clean and the food is decent for a buffet. The sushi was surprisingly good. I also recommend the crab rangoon. The service is great.

Huge variety of dishes. Even on a slow Wednesday night dishes were surprisingly fresh! The staff was also very friendly. Can't wait to go back during a busier time. The small hibachi bar is a nice add and food was cooked well.

I LOVE this buffet. It is everything you want in a grand buffet.
Food - Delicious, heartily stocked, and fresh
Atmosphere - Pleasant and calming with plenty of seating
Servers - Prompt to bring drinks and take dirty dishes
I definitely recommend this if you have the appetite for it.

We went on a Monday which seem to be a slow day for them. No hostess just sat where ever we wanted. The food was old even though lunch just changed over to dinner. I did not see crablegs or froglegs some reviews did say on weekends only. They are probably right. The service from the staff and the owner were good from our interactions with them. Our waitress did just get us drinks and disappeared; however, if you needed help the staff responded. The food got refill while we were eating so they do make fresh food as people come in. The sushi was fresh not hard, buffet was refill with new food, and the chicken pho noodles were the best I've had for a buffet. Even the Pad Thai tasted like actual Pad Thai from a sit down restaurant. They had some items that I was surprised to fine at a buffet including Vietnamese Springs Rolls, Taro Buns, Tum Yum Soup, and a whole ice cream topping section with ice cream already souped for you in a bowel. They have lots of vegetarian choices too. All in all, they run a business and cooks to the demands and needs of the customer. It was a pleasant experience. I took one star for the old food but fresh food was good and place is clean. Personally prefer this buffet over Asiana in Skyland. Covid precautions is a plus! Glad there is a decent buffet on this side of town in convenient location too.

Yao is a solid and reliable Chinese buffet with additional Asian-style offerings. It is the remaining restaurant owned by the same people that owned Asiana Grand Buffet on Hendersonville Road.
They have plenty of seating and the food seems to be regularly resupplied. Everything is hot and relatively fresh (it is a buffet, so that is to be considered). The restaurant is well-staffed and easy for families and large groups.

There is so much to choose from both hot and cold foods. Sushi bar with like around 20 different types of sushi. The hot dishes have many seafood choices.clams mussels even octopus. The soups even have a seafood choice to get. This buffet is worth going to with as much as there is you might have to come back many times to try all the food they have to offer

We had to switch venues last minute because the place our party of 20 was supposed to go to cancelled no notice. Yao was able to seat us all in a private section and we had a wonderful time. Service was great food was good. Thank you Yao!

I had hibachi grilled steak with veggies and noodles. Along with a variety of sushi, sashimi, dumplings, and ribs. I started it off with a seafood curry.
