Overall great experience for my first visit! Food was fresh and delicious. I had a chicken bowl with yellow curry sauce - yum. There were plenty of gluten-friendly options, and it was easy to find them. Would've liked a little more food for the price, but it was fairly reasonable. Short, very acceptable wait between 1-2 pm. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and polite!

We’ve eaten here several times and it’s always been fresh and good. Wanted to leave a review and a shoutout to the staff because this establishment is CLEAN and their service is always friendly. The tables, floor, beverage dispenser, counters, and glass are all sparkling. Well done!

Surprisingly amazing and fresh food! Really enjoyed steak tacos with the chili lemongrass sauce and chili lime aioli. The noodle bowl with streak and chili lemongrass was a big hit with my 13 year old. And their ‘agua fresca’ drinks are SO GOOD!

Zao is one of my favorite places to go in the Spanish Fork area. Pretty healthy, great ingredients, love the sauces. My favorite is the banh mi wrap. Make sure to ask for the Korean red sauce on it and all the toppings.

The first time I tried zao years ago I didn’t like it. I gave it another try recently and really enjoyed it. My husband has tried the Banh mi wrap and the tacos. He enjoyed both of them. My favorite thing to order is a bowl with yakisoba noodles, chicken, broccoli, carrots, corn, cilantro with teriyaki sauce and topped with peanuts. It’s very fresh and delicious.

I had only been here once before and was unsure about the process. It's one of those "walk by and tell them what you want" ordering lines. That's great if you are familiar with their food. I could not hear what one server was saying, the next one was clearly training an employee. I have no problem with that, everybody has to learn. But, he seemed annoyed that I didn't rattle off a list of items for my wrap. Then to top it off, after I got my drink, I had to go back to the counter and interrupt the cashier to get a straw!

We only tried this a few months ago and have been here several times since. It’s like an Asian Chipotle with fresh and quality ingredients and we don’t feel ick after eating here. So nice to have another healthier option for eating out in Spanish Fork!
