The service is great, but the food is why I've gone back a couple times. I go to class right across the road at the TCC campus and usually I go get orange tofu or general tso's tofu right after. most dishes come with rice or fried rice, and the portion sizes are great. in the restaurant, you can tell the ambiance is cozy and calm. the kitchen is in the back but sometimes I'll see the employees at a table preparing the food fresh when it's slower! they have a sign on the front with a picture of some guy stealing tips on the cctv cameras, and I don't know why anyone would steal their tips?? they're so nice and don't deserve that. they're right next to BonChon and their hours are pretty reasonable!

What can I say about Ya Ya? Hubs & I ordered online. Picked it up & drove to sit by the water to eat. OUR FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Pick up was quick/easy (except that it's in downtown Norfolk so expect the typical shenanigans of Norfolk traffic). Food was hot fresh nicely spiced and so so tasty! Will definitely be back!

Food is always hot and fresh! We work close by and live an hour away. There have been times where we have lunch, pack up the leftovers and it's still just as fresh when we get home after 5pm. The customer service is always very friendly and welcoming.

Always hot and fresh and delicious. This is my go to place anytime I am craving Chinese food. We typically order and pick up and not eat inside, but there is space inside if someone wanted to dine in.It

As a regular at Yaya Asian Gourmet, I can confidently say it's one of the best Chinese restaurants around! They have yet to disappoint, and every visit is a reminder of why I keep coming back. My go-to dishes are the Singapore Chow Mei Fun and House Special Fried Rice, which are always seasoned to perfection. Plus, they're generous with the shrimp, which is a big plus! Their General Tso's Chicken is another favorite--it's always served hot and consistently delicious, a level of quality you don't find at every spot. Yaya Asian Gourmet gets 5 stars from me every time.

I picked up a lunch special yesterday, Kung Pao Chicken. I ordered a pork eggroll with it. The egg roll was good, crispy, and fresh. Not much pork, but I wasn't expecting much either. The entree was good, I asked for extra spicy, and it looks like they obliged. It was fresh, but I was still wishing for more flavor or zing. I added a packet of soy sauce to it and it helped a little. The staff was polite and I was served pretty quickly. I'd go back to try something else. One thing I wish is that there wasn't green pepper in the dish. I'm not crazy about it, I guess I'll have to remember to ask for them to leave it out.

I never been to a fine establishment, such as Ya Ya Asian Gourmet. Not to mention they are over the top when it comes to customer service, Which is exemplified by superior professionalism. I came in a customer and left feeling like family. The food was magnificent. Thanks, Pablo Williams

Found Ya Ya on one of the side streets downtown and decided to give them a try after checking out the reviews. Staff was friendly. The food was good. I ordered the beef and broccoli with jasmine rice and that was delicious. Got the shrimp with lo mein for my husband. He said that needed a bit more sauce and seasoning. The egg rolls were good. I gave 4 stars only because of the lo mein. I definitely recommend them if you are looking for good Chinese food.
