"Great food and great service. Only suggestion would be to the management and that is: if you walk around to tables asking the patrons how everything is/was, you should do so at EVERY table not just to the table that orders alchohol or to the table where you know the people."

"We have been to Yao Fuzi many times through the years and the food never disappoints, it's always excellent! However this most recent visit, the service was so rushed that we may not go back any time soon. We tried to slow the pace down when it became obvious that the waitress was rushing us. We had a cocktail and appetizer before we ordered and then our meals were delivered within 3-4 minutes of ordering. We hadn't finished the appetizer before the meals came. When you have a Saturday date night with your husband (8:00 reservation) you don't expect to be done in 40 minutes. I love the food, but that kind of rushed service is going to hurt the restaurant. According to other reviews, our experience was not an isolated incident."

"Once again, Yao Fuzi doesn't disappoint. The food and service are excellent. We arrived at 6 PM and the restaurant was already fairly full, but by the time we left, the tables were all full. The small bar area was packed with people waiting for tables. So reservations are highly recommended. There is a new area off of the main dining room which is excellent for groups."
