About Us
It began as a dream of an ideal place for Mr. and Mrs. Yao to sit, relax, and enjoy good food while interacting with the fans and local community. A group of friends, local restaurant owners, and Mr. and Mrs. Yao, joined hands together to create a new concept by offering the basic essentials of quality food and personalized service. Our goal is to cultivate pride, support our local community, and provide a place to support our home basketball team, the Houston Rockets. Yao Restaurant & Bar was born.
