Ya Ya Asian Gourmet House: A Premier Destination for Asian Fusion Comfort

We were looking for a place to eat before heading to the Chrysler Museum of Art & found Ya Ya Asian Gourmet House. It took a few laps around the block to find parking, but if you're familiar with downtown Norfolk, you know that's par for the course. If you're looking for a dine in experience with frills, this may not be the place for you, but if you want great, fresh made asian food, this is the place! You can dine in, which we did, or order to go. You place your order at the counter and drinks are your typical cooler offerings. I had the General Tso's with steamed rice and an order of hot and sour soup. Everything was hot and fresh. It was also delicious. I seriously think the soup was one of the best I've ever had. The chicken was tender and flavorful. My spouse had orange chicken and it was just as tender and flavorful. Everything was just..delicious! I'm always hesitant to try General Tso's at new places because I'm very particular about meat texture. That was not a concern here at all and I will definitely be back! If you like hot and sour soup, you have to get here.

Stopped in for a quick snack. We literally only had crab rangoon and egg rolls, but they were soo good. It's a nice atmosphere to sit and eat. The staff is really nice. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

Rolled up here looking for something to eat and were about to keep walking because it looked a bit....questionable, but a passer-by said it's the best Chinese food, so we gave it a go, and honestly - it truly is some of the best Chinese food I've had. I'm so glad we listened to her. I highly recommend this yummy restaurant!! They even had brown rice! I've never had a more delicious moo goo gai pan in all my days (and I've had a lot of it and high standards) and I'm sad I'm not local to this restaurant. I asked for mushrooms, and I more than got the $1 upcharge's worth. The staff here is so kind and hardworking. Don't miss this deliciousness.

I’ve been going here since 2020 and it’s one of my favorites. My regular items are the crab rangoons, orange chicken, and sesame chicken. Cici is always so welcoming and makes you feel like family. Parking is always scarce in the area so I tend to visit when I’m within walking distance

I’ve never found a place that comes close to competing with Bangkok Garden. A restaurant should be known, above all, for its food, and this one truly excels in that department. Everything I ordered was incredible, bursting with flavors I’d forgotten existed. You can taste the artistry in every dish here. I’d gladly go back to explore more of their menu—and the prices are great, too.

Quite a find off of Granby Street in Norfolk. Sign sits on top of the roof line like that of a theatre. When you enter you are greeted by an ambience akin to old imperial setting - dark benches, chandelier, carved artwork on walls. Clean tables and walls. It’s a Sunday at around 4pm, past their luncheon service that ends at 3pm. Love their menu that offers healthy choices - boiled chicken or shrimp or combo chicken/shrimp and mixed vegetables. Such an entree cones with brown rice and a fortune cookie if to go. Seems a-buzzing with Cary out orders as it seems it’s the only Chinese restaurant within main Granby area. Took my order of chicken and mixed veggies home. Serving size was huge for 1 person but it was so good that I broke my 7 hour fast just to enjoy the entire meal. If you haven’t tried this restaurant, you must! I will definitely come back and dine in and try their other dishes. Their Thai fish will be my next order….

I have Door Dash from Ya Ya several times now since I have moved back to Norfolk. Thay have not disappointed. I love the steamed dumplings. I have gotten the fried chicken wings Wonton soup combo pancit( not correct name) . The spicy wontons was not my favorite. But I will definitely be ordering quite often.

LOVE coming here! Food is always made fresh! Love the fried wings too!
