Asian Chao — Restaurant in Town of Yorktown

What can I say? I was hungry. I’m a fan of Asian food. However this was not it. Tasted great and nothing wrong with the food. Portions are very small. Didn’t feel like I was getting $17 dollars worth of food. It felt super expensive for what I’m buying. Some rice, plantains and some chicken. Also the egg roll. I will say the egg roll does make it more but I had to try it. That egg roll was different size from the Chinese restaurant I would go to. I would honestly say the egg roll would’ve filled me up. If I do go back and get something I would just get the egg roll because I can’t justify $17 dollars. The atmosphere felt very regular like not inviting you know. The trays looked empty. The cashier was very positive and polite. Would I eat here again? Maybe. If I’m really hungry but I would just do the egg roll. I can’t even imagine getting a drink form there to. Probably would’ve brought the total to over $20. I can see them increasing prices to keep up with the mall. So I can’t blame them. Such a shame. But I have...

The food is not good, and everyone posting that it is is a d**mn lie. It looks and taste old everyday. The oil taste like it’s old and hasn’t been changed. The food is not hot. It’s lukewarm or cold. It has disproportionate amounts of salt. The chicken and broccoli is sour tasting. I just bit into a piece of bourbon chicken that was as hard as a rock. No joke. Their food containers look unsanitary and unwashed. Let’s not even get started on their pricing. Authentic Chinese food where I am is $7 for a large plate. They’re charging $10+ for small portions and the most mediocre food you’ll ever taste in your life. Worst of all is that it’s Non-Asian people operating the restaurant and I believe that’s what causing the food to not taste like the Chinese food that everyone knows. It’s Hispanic people running the restaurant and they should stick to making their amazing Hispanic food. Let the Asian people make...

Yesterday, I visited the Jefferson Mall in Yorktown Heights with my daughter. After some shopping, we went to the food court on the second floor and chose to eat at Asian Chao. A meal costs $12.98. My daughter ordered rice with veggies and chicken, and I asked for only veggies and chicken, without any rice or lo mein.

The server gave me a small scoop of veggies and two scoops of chicken. When I asked for more veggies, I was told I’d be charged extra. This was frustrating, especially since I didn’t ask for rice or lo mein and expected more veggies in their place. Instead, the server gave me one piece of broccoli as “extra” and still wanted to charge me more.

The whole experience felt greedy and unfair. It’s disappointing that the restaurant’s policy would penalize a simple request like this, and the server’s attitude was unconcerned. This left a poor impression, and I won’t...
