YoHo Asian Bistro

I had heard it wasnt very good, but thought it would have to better than a cheaper regular chinese place… wrong! I got the sesame chicken lunch combo which comes with rice and a spring roll. Sesame chicken is a risky choice since it’s usually sickeningly gross and mysterious or really good – YoHo’s was soggy, soaking in sauce, and low-grade mystery gooey chicken on the inside. The sauce was fine, though. The rice & spring roll were sub par. I was hoping it would rival pei wei for Asian cuisine, but it’s not even close.
The inside of the restaurant looked nice, though. Maybe it’s better if you dine-in.
Overall my experience was disappointing.

…corkage fee is just ten bucks.

3 of 4 stars *good, casual dining).

Very nice and creative makizushi. Other dishes are soaked in sauce.

Uncomfortable, bulky, wooden chairs.

About my ratings:

Only fine dining establishments can garner five stars. Until menuism realizes that a fast food joint cannot possibly be ranked equally with a $100 per person place, I need to draw the line somewhere. If we were only talking about the quality and presentation of the food, it would be a different story. But, as we know, menuism’s rankings take into account the entire dining experience.

Therefore, I divide restaurants into three categories (and I wish menuism would do the same):

1) fast food and “fast-casual” (no table service )

2) casual and “polished casual” dining (table service)

3) fine dining (linen napkins, no plastic cups, no TV’s in dining room, typically more expensive than casual dining)

Fine dining can earn a max of five stars. Casual dining can earn a max of four stars. Fast food can earn a max of three stars.
