Very cool place with a really nice atmosphere. Staff was great and love the concept. I unfortunately did not care for the food. I think it was cooked well, presentation was nice, but the flavor did nothing for me. It could just be my taste buds, but I tried half chicken and half steak and didn’t like either one. Avocado was great, corn and broccoli were great, just didn’t like the meat flavors. I’m sure many others might. I do very much love their gluten free options on almost everything.

Zao is the BEST. have been here 4 times since it opened. I’m always looking for more fresh options and this checks all the boxes. So many fresh veggies and protein! Love their bowls and salads with the chili lemongrass sauce. And the yellow curry is also amazing! So happy to have this in CO finally.

This was a really fantastic first experience at this restaurant. I had the Bahn Mi Wrap and it was super tasty. The owner stopped by and checked on us, and also let us know that kids eat free on Mondays with a paid adult entree. This was a really good value for our family, and even more if we can remember to come on a Monday. At a time when costs seem high everywhere, this was a great meal at a great value. We will definitely be back! Thanks for a great experience 🙂

Loved it! We both got noodle bowls, one steak one chicken. The meat was tender and juicy and the noodles were perfect, not over oiled like some places. Definitely try it out. They do have rice and vegan options just a note 🙂

Amazing new spot. We got the banh mi wrap and a meatball bowl and they were both so delicious and very large portions. The soup was excellent as well the fresh drink selection. Great value for the price, can’t wait to come back and try more. Also the staff was incredible, super friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable.

I heard Monday nights kids eat free so decided to try it out tonight. I loved it! Even my 5 & 7 year old said we should come here more often! They loved the chicken teriyaki bowls with all the yummy toppings! The drinks were excellent and not too sweet. I really enjoyed my tofu teriyaki bowl. We will definitely be back!
