Yo! Chow — Restaurant in Bengaluru

So, over the weekend, my friends and I decided to visit this place which has revamped all the necessary elements, ranging from food to its service, since the last time I was here some three years back. Ours was a mixed group of vegetarians and non-vegetarians and hence, the spread on our table was magnificent.

Tom Kha Soup was prepared with a base of coconut milk with lots of exotic vegetables, flavoured with Thai herbs- because I love all things vegetables, absolutely loved this preparation.

Traditional Peking Dumplings (Veg) were not only tempting to look at, but they were also a pure treat to have. The stuffing of the dumpling had some sort of magic which was making these melt-in-your-mouth instantly, appetizing your taste buds like never before. I especially loved it how the dumplings were stuffed so well and the sheet/covering used was paper thin and evenly spread.

Classic Chilly Honey Potato was prepared well with a crisp coating and generous amount of sesame seeds on top but was a little sweet for my taste. However, my friends who loved the honey-coated potatoes were simply awestruck.

Corn Salt and Paper were another appetizer that I loved for its remarkable taste and the shredded cabbage and carrot salad served alongside.

Coming to the main course, Veg Hot Garlic Sauce and Chilly Paneer Gravy were ideal to go with Veg Hakka Noodles and Veg Fried Rice. Although I was full with all the delicious appetizers so, I could have very little of the main course and that is going to be the reason for my next visit!

Among the mocktails that we tried (Lychee Sparkler and Spicy Mango Mojito, no doubt the mango one is the ultimate drink to pair up with all the good food.

And well, now let’s talk about DESSERTS – The Sizzling Brownie, my-oh-my, that was something we all finished within a span of a few minutes and had to order for one more – that yum it was! Red Velvet Jar is also another great option to try with layers of moist red velvet cake and mousse.

The staff is also warm and prompt in their service. The ambiance flaunts an elegant oriental décor and the peppy beats will keep you entertained as you enjoy the...

If you are craving for some sumptuous Chinese cuisine, Yo! Chow will satiate all your cravings. I remember visiting this place a couple of years back but it is totally revamped now with an oriental décor and updated menu. We were a group of 12 people, so we tried both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.

We ordered Tom Kha Soup which had lots of vegetables mixed with spicy coconut milk which made it delicious. From the appetizer section, we had Traditional Peking Dumplings (Veg), Classic Chilly Honey Potato, and Corn Salt and Pepper out of which we loved the soft succulent dumplings. These were one of the best dumplings I had which were properly stuffed with minced, juicy vegetables to tantalize your taste buds. Classic Chilly Honey Potato was also good, however, there was an overwhelming taste of honey. Corn Salt and Pepper was delicious but could have been crispier.

From the main course, we tried a couple of dishes including Veg Hakka Noodles, Veg Fried Rice, Veg Hot Garlic Sauce, and Chilly Paneer Gravy. Being a big fan of veggies, I loved Veg Hot Garlic Sauce which had lots of vegetables in a spicy garlicky gravy.

Mocktails such as Lychee Sparkler and Spicy Mango Mojito were equally good.

Coming to the desserts, I loved their Sizzling Brownie which was a wonderful combination of hot chocolate brownie with chilled vanilla ice cream. If you love red velvet flavor, you must try their Red Velvet Jar which is a delicious mousse.

The staff is friendly and attentive and also taught us how to eat using chopsticks. Looking forward to visiting this place next time to try their...

I've started having the pork ribs from Yo! Chow, about 6 years ago. One evening, that I was a bit high and decided to treat myself with a random pork dish, via Zomato/Swiggy was when i met Yo Chow. It was unexpected and so random. As I had my first bite of the pork rib, it was like one of those moments. That love at first sight kind of moment. And then I would order this dish every other random night and finish it all by myself. After several such nights, I decided to share the love and I started introducing the pork rib dish to my friends. And since then, we all started sharing this one box of love. To me, the pork rib was not just a dish, it was more than that. It was instant therapy. It was my go to food, everytime I needed a therapist to speak to. And one rib would usually do the job of reviving me from the spiritual ditches that life throws us into. Only after several months did i realise that I was addicted and might need a pork rib rehabilitation centre to do the job and stop me from being a serial pork hogger. So, i decided to put a break on my habit and had to call it quits on our 'friends with benefits' kind of relationship. Now, a month ago, i again visited Yo Chow! And had some dishes including the very one dish that the rehabilitation centre mentions as the 'illegal score'. And it felt good to be back. It all feels the same and tastes the same. Whatever I tried this time, was just delicious and made me feel that my relationship with pork, was not made here. It one from...
