Best Authentic Restaurants in Doraville

This was my first time at Yao. I received an email reminder that said the dress code was "business casual". So I bought a new sports jacket for my first date. When I got there, I saw people in jeans so that bothered me that they didn't dress to code and were allowed inside. Anyway, the food was good but a overpriced. It didn't taste any different than if I were to buy it at a cheap chain Chinese restaurant. The meal cost me $170 (after the tip) just for Mongolian beef, calamari, spring rolls, water, tea and a salmon dish with white rice. The waitress was attentive, the staff was professional, the ambiance was pleasant but the music was a little too loud which made conversation a challenging. I probably won't return because I have so many other choices for Chinese food that won't cost an arm and a leg but it's a great place to go if you want to impress your date.

It was the best meal we've had that we can recall. We had the chef's table 7-course meal. We were really disappointed when we arrived and learned that the counter where we could have the entire experience was overbooked, but the dishes made up for it, and the staff later moved us to the counter once the other guests finished their meals. Each dish's ingredients worked so well together, and the entire meal was highly cohesive. We are foodies and were raving about the meal the next day. We couldn't stop marveling at how great everything was, and we couldn't pick a favorite. Well done!

Zafron was a wonderful experience. We had a very early diner reservation so it was quiet and relaxing. The food was excellent and service very good. Every dish was presented well and was delicious. Will definitely return to have another great meal!

Great work lunch. Food is higher quality than normal "lunch" but fast enough to make it within an hour.

Food was delicious, but it was a bit loud inside.
