Just got back from Yo Ho Asian Bistro, the service was the worst I’ve ever had. Someone from the kitchen finally brought our food. I would have left sooner but I had already eaten soup and my date had a salad. Two seperate tables in our section got up and left in frustration while we waited. Two tables that came in after us got served way before us and there were servers just running around asking tables at random if they had been waited on yet. They were NOT ready to open. The Sushi chef was waiting on a table in our section when we left. The whole time we were there the TWO hostesses just hung out. There was no kind of seating chart or no way to know who had been there or how long. They didn’t ask us how our meal was, no thank you, no come again, I guess they knew it was all pointless. Much like thinking a restaurant already geographically challenged could survive with garbarge service. We won’t be back and don’t waste your time.
By the way, the food was nothing to write home about.

Yo Ho Asian Bistro Cary NC
great atmosphere, great service, great food
I dined at YoHo Asian Bistro on a weekend during lunch. Our server was very informative (regarding the menu and specials) and attentive. I ordered the lunch bento box with chicken yaki udon, which was a generous portion and very tasty. My boyfriend had the sashimi and california roll lunch special, which included 3 pieces of tuna, 3 pieces of salmon, and a california roll (served with a ginger salad). We will definitely return to check out more of their specialty rolls!
Yoho's new location
Our wonderful experience at Yoho Asian Bistro's new location at the Beaver Creek Shopping Center in Apex has inspired me to write my very first review of a restaurant. The staff were very nice and very efficient, the setting was comfortable and nicely decorated, and the food and drinks were great.
They have a range of Asian styles to choose from, and several appetizing house specialties. My husband and I shared a sampling of things, including their crispy crab wontons (best I've found in the area so far, and I've been here for 8 years), seaweed salad, ginger salad, california roll, and Yoho Shrimp. The shrimp were quite large with a tasty brown sauce, served with mixed vegetables off to one side. Their dry sake martini is a unique and interesting cocktail, and one that I'd get again.
The one downside is their outdoor seating. It was such a nice day that I would have preferred to sit outside, but at 5:30 in the summer, their tables are out in full sun without any shade. They've only been open for a week though, so perhaps they haven't yet gotten umbrellas for the tables.
This is our new favorite place for Asian food, and I'll be recommending it to my friends.
Horrible Customer Service
We came here because we love sushi and found a coupon, so we decided to try a new place. We asked the waitress before ordering if the coupon applied to the whole menu, and she said yes. Even the coupon says "10% off your check." It was rather clear. But because we ordered a daily special item she came back with a message from her manager that a the item doesn't count. It was a $20 item so it would add $2 back to the bill. The waitress was so timid we asked to speak to her manager directly. Out of principle, the samll matter should have only taken a minute to resolve, but the manager avoided providing the discount at all costs: she blamed the waitress, blamed us for getting a good deal, the timing of when we asked the waitress about he coupon, and had a bad attitude the entire time. She didn't listen to what we were saying, when in the grand scheme of things she was saving $2 in the short term, but losing our business in the long term. Why send a coupon to gain business when you won't honor it, and lose the business with poor service? On the other hand, the suhsi was good (though not worth its own review), and hey... Lucy the waitress was adorable, sweet, and wonderful to us. This is strictly on the manager for giving us a terrible experience.
It must be horrible experience
I worked in a restaurant before, and I certainly understand that if it was really busy, how difficult to keep every customer happy. However, at last, I think customers are more patient when they receiving good service. A big smile always works! So based on those reviews, I'll never go there, cause I expect ellecent service whereever I go.
Great Food!
I've eaten at the new Yo Ho Asian Bistro 3x now and it's been very good each time. The decor is much nicer than your local neighborhood Chinese food joint, and so is the food. I had the hot & sour soup, vegetable tempura and the Honey Walnut Shrimp. Soup was fine, tempura was good and the entree was excellent. The shrimp cooked perfectly and the sauce was delightful with cruncy sweet walnuts. Service was very good. We also ordered vegetable spring rolls and dumplings - again, very good. The only caution I would give you is to bring a sweater or be sure to ask to sit somewhere away from the vents. All 3 times the forced air was hitting me down the back. I mentioned it once and the waitress more or less said there wasn't anything you could do about it.
