Extremely good! The combination of flavors in their bowls is exceptional! The unique drink assortment is very refreshing as well.

Fun Asian fusion spot. Although there are only a few options, they're really good and effortlessly healthy. We ate outside and stayed to chat for a bit after because it was comfortable. Right off of State Street, it's fun to sit and people watch.

Overall great place to eat. Yellow curry is very, very mild. If you’re wanting flavor, go for the green! I enjoyed all the toppings. The portion is good, I would say it’s about 75% of what Chipotle gives you.

This is one of my favorite fast-food places in Utah! Everyone already knows that they are essentially the Asian Chipotle (but they actually let you customize your order…)! They have so many different options when it comes to how you want your plate put together. You can get a salad, a rice bowl, noodle bowl, veggie bowl, wrap, tacos & soup! You really can’t go wrong with anything you get from here - everything is so fresh and you can taste the difference! I always go with a bowl with half rice & half yakisoba noodles, steak, all the veggies (I miss the potato veggie option - it really made the bowl extra filling and delicious) and the Zao way for the garnish toppings. If I’m eating in the restaurant I will get the tiger sauce (which is the teriyaki sauce, chili paste & aioli mixed) but if I’m taking it home I will put on my Yum Yum sauce (which is essentially Asian fry sauce). 📌: Locations all over Utah 🥗 Healthy Fast Food Option Utah 🍜 Asian Chipotle 👶 Kid-friendly 🍹 House-made drinks 💰 Meals from $9-$13 Happy Eating!

Was really eager to try this place and it did not disappoint! But here's the thing - you have to order the right entree to just hit the spot! Took this seriously when a foodie friend steered me in the right direction. Here's my go-to order (as was his): Yakisoba bowl with chicken, all the veggies, extra jalapeños, and their "secret" TIGER sauce. If you love spicy food, this is the exact order for you! Unfortunately for me, this order hits the spot EVERY. FREAKIN. TIME so I get scared venturing out from this! Location is clean, friendly employees, and inviting.

Delicious food! Great for kids. Clean calm atmosphere. We got the tacos for us and each of our kids got a kids bowl. The image is of one half eaten. They finished every bite! The steak was medium well so I was worried it would be tough, but it wasn’t, it was very tender. All of the different juices were so good, my kids loved the mango and strawberry best. Can’t wait to go again.

I think this is our family's new favorite place! We appreciate having vegan, healthy options. The brown rice bowl was so filling! (I ended up taking half of it home for later.) Their guacamole AKA guacamame (It has edamame) was quite tasty, too. They ran out of prepared tofu, so we had to wait for a little bit. To make up for that, they gave us free drinks. That was an unexpected but lovely surprise.

Tried the rice bowls. Loved that everything was fresh and flavorful. Portions sizes were great. My husband finished his whole bowl but I had mine for two meals. We both enjoyed the food.

The food is pretty tasty and flavorful. I got a rice bowl and the bowl is 90% rice. I would love more protein and veggies options.

First time at Zoa and I loved it! I wasn’t sure what to try and the employee made a great recommendation. I got the steak bowl with noodles and it was really good!

Super good place. I would give this place five stars but I went as a family and there isn’t really bigger table seatings. The most you can fit is four and the tables are bolted down so you can’t move them. But as the food goes. It’s fast and fresh. Very good food.

Service was so quick and friendly. The rice bowls are huge. We easily fed an adult and child with one bowl. Love that there are vegan and gluten free options. This is a new family favorite place to eat.

I just went for the pre-opening night promotion. It was very clean, the employees were friendly and the line went fast. Very good atmosphere and everyone seemed to love it! I got a bowl with the green chili sauce which was pretty spicy but I heard everyone raving about the teriyaki sauce. I’ll be getting that next time! The strawberry lemonade was awesome too!
