Best WLM Reviews
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! :)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Duuude… this buffet is EVERYTHING. Like, I walked in hungry and left a different person.
Food: Insane. So much food. It’s fresh, it’s tasty, and there’s so much of it. I kept thinking I was done, then saw another section I hadn’t hit yet. And the desserts? Bro, don’t even get me started.
Atmosphere: Chill vibes, plenty of room to just sit back and vibe out with your plate(s). Not crowded or rushed – you can really take your time on the food journey.
Service: The servers are awesome. They’re super quick with drinks, and they clean up the table fast so you’ve got space for more plates. Respect.
Bottom line: if you’ve got the munchies, this place is gonna change your life.
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.
For buffet, this has it all. Golden Corral's got nothing compared to the quality and variety found at an Asian fusion buffet like this one. Nearly everything I tried was full of flavor, and the price is just right. To get the most out of a buffet, it helps to come in with a plan. If you know what you like, you can dive right in with the portions you're used to. But if you're here for variety, start by sampling a little of everything on your first plate. Then, you can go back for more of your favorites. And remember, there's always room for Jell-O!
We are traveling through Asheville and the kids wanted Chinese food. We headed to Yao for dinner. All 13 of us.
The service was amazing. The best I have experienced at a buffet restaurant.
The food was hot, fresh, and readily refilled. The selection is HUGE.
5 stars is based on exceeding expectations. I am not comparing Yao’s to the Japanese meal we had at the Ritz Carlton last month. Yao’s does a great job at executing their purpose.
Sadly, Yao has gone downhill over the last year. All meals are now $16+ "dinner rate."
Many of the serving dishes were enpty, and we never saw them refilled.
Despite all that, the server was sweet and on top of refills, and what little massaman curry I could pick out was good.
We arrived at 8 PM on a Friday night.
Most of all the popular items were empty or almost empty, which meant that was left was dried out and old.
I ask someone if they were putting out more food, he never really answered.
So I waited, still noting hot or fresh was added. I saw a lady who was cleaning the buffet area so I ask her if more food would be coming. She told another man who was cleaning as well to go get peel and ear shrimp, that's one of the items that I wanted. So I waited, still no shrimp. So I just stand by the buffet, she had to ask him again to go get it, finally! But NY this point, im just mad.
At 14.99/person, I expect there to at least be egg rolls?
Not sure we will be back.
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.
