Zao Asian Cafe - Asian fusion restaurant in Parker - 18374 Cottonwood Dr #110, USA

I had a chicken bowl with yakisoba noodles, and just about everything else you can see from my picture! It was delicious and enough for two meals. The staff were courteous and explained the menu. I had a coupon for a free meal, so I thought I’d try it out. Since I upgraded with the Yakisoba noodles, the bowl cost me $1.33. I highly recommend this cafe. There are vegetarian options, tofu, beef, chicken & pork. Delicious!!! 🥰

Went to this place since I was starving before Trader Joes. Everything we had was good, no complaints. I got the wrap and my boyfriend got the bowl. I got the wrap Zao style. The chicken just wasn’t what I was looking for but everything tasted very fresh. Overall a quick easy spot for a healthier version of panda express.

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.

We are just visiting Parker for the weekend. Found Zao Asian Cafe walking and had a fantastic lunch! Many gluten-free options, fresh ingredients and very delicious!

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.

So let's keep it quick and simple, if you've been to a Chipotle you know the experience to expect here. Now the gimmick (and I do mean GIMMICK, because there is very little culinary innovation here) is burritos and tacos with Asian ingredients, with the same logitistc scam of thinking you're getting better tasting ingredients paying extra for Guac and Yakisoba noodles. The staff was very friendly but struggled with throughput for even a short 3 person line. This place would get a better review if they provided more value for what they offer. For the steak burrito I purchased (with Guac and Yakisoba upgrades) I paid 17 dollars before tax and tip... Which at that price I feel like I should of gotten more for my money IE like a raw fish poke protein option. Topping options are limited and they try to force you into their recommended options which is something I hate, if you put a bunch of options on a line in front of me I want to pick and choose as I go, not go with the default recommended options. This place has potential, but they need to add something to make it culinary fast food concept and not just a gimmick to steal customers from the Chipotle across the street.

Solid spot for some asain bowls! Didn't really care for the meatballs, a little to tough for me, everything else was delicious!

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 :)
