HeidiMarch 24, 2017We liked the gai lan, pan fried pork bun, and beef tendon noodle. The peanut noodles and soup dumplings were okay. Lucky this spot is in this area!
F. BastardMay 2, 2016Soup dumplings are solid, with thin skins and good broth. They come four to an order - handy for solo diners. Mapo Tofu is underpowered and oddly, it's served pre-mixed with rice.
Bin YangFebruary 15, 2016The soup dumplings are okay. The pan fried pork bao's flavor is spot on but could do with more filling. The spare ribs are good and the braised beef noodle soup is very rich and satisfying.
Kevin SkobacNovember 27, 2015We ate half the menu with a group and pretty much everything was fantastic. The shumaj and soup dumplings are top notch.
Phil TorontoNovember 7, 2016The chili soup dumplings 😍 the housemade chili oil is insanely good on every single dish 🙏🏻
سليمانSeptember 20, 2017Everything is awesome but don't skip the steamed bao. And adding fried chicken to top of your dish is completely worth it
Christina ChinAugust 22, 2016Soup dumplings were ok, nothing to rave home about but if your craving and don't want to go to Chinatown, solid place. Soy garlic fried rice w chix was tasty and pork buns were greasy but filling
Tim JulienDecember 29, 2015Obviously get the soup dumplings, but don't sleep on the pork meatballs with eggs and rice.
Emily WilsonNovember 30, 2015All good choices: soup dumplings, hot n sour soup, cold Shanghai noodles
J CrowleyNovember 20, 2015I wish I was an inch tall. So I could be trapped inside one of these soup dumplings, then have to eat my way out.
- Rachel NashJune 5, 2016Mapo tofu was pretty bland but I'd definitely come back for the soup dumplings and garlic fried rice. So good!
Fernando MoralesNovember 20, 2016Spicy pork dumplings were incredible!! The rice and pork meatballs was also delicious and flavorful!!
- Adam LangdonFebruary 19, 2017Great soup dumplings! Actually have a lot of good options. Try a bunch and share!
Brad KleinMarch 28, 2016Protip: don't get soup dumplings togo. Had those + chicken curry over rice+egg, was decent but need to be consumed hot. Fun atmosphere
Soup dumplings and pork buns are a must have. After that, improvise.
Great Downtown Brooklyn spot for satisfying your soup dumpling cravings.
Soup dumplings and anything with pork meatballs are great.
Colin M. FordOctober 14, 2017It’s a good place in the neighborhood. Not as great as Xi’an Famous Foods, but good.
Curtis SawyerOctober 29, 2019Fast ordering and quick food service. Sufficient seating for quick in and out.
Saarim ZamanNovember 28, 2015The soup dumplings are standard but go for something else, you'll be more pleasantly surprised
Sabrina MajeedNovember 1, 2015Pros: fast service, spacious seating, and good music. Cons: not as good as soup dumps in Chinatown, but a little more pricey.
Julius TarngOctober 31, 2015Like if you're gonna die and you want soup dumps in bk instead of just going to Chinatown next door I guess
ShahAugust 20, 2016Tip? Avoid. Ordered food for pickup, food was sitting on the counter, asked the guy 5 times if that was mine, then after 20 minutes it finally dawned on him that it was. Food not worth the wait.

Yaso is a fast casual restaurant inspired by the vibrant flavors and swift service of Shanghainese street hawker fare.
To the palate accustomed to Chinese American General Tso’s chicken or even Cantonese chow fun, the Shanghainese cuisine at Yaso will be a revelation...
