Having grown up in Shanghai, and travelled extensively across Europe and East Africa, Mr Yao decided to make Nairobi his home. Missing the comforts of home cooking he introduces a “modern Chinese restaurant” where classic comfort dishes are given a contemporary European flair.

A more street inspired younger brother to Mr YAO.  An informal all day Chinese café serving the very best dim sum, handmade noodles and small plates.

Tea is as much Chinese as it is East African.  A modern tea salon reminiscent of those in Shanghai where Mr YAO spent lazy afternoons with his aunt Leila, indulging in the finest teas, pastries and cakes.

Individual expression is everything. Mr YAO’s son adds his personal touch to YAO. An uber cocktail lounge serving unique ‘London Shanghai’ cocktails, highballs, martinis and whiskies; a place where mixology artistry comes alive. A slick modern space that’s more Soho London with a nod to the Bund in Shanghai.

Mr YAO’s passion for travel and culture continues to come alive through the must-taste fusion philosophy of South-East Asia. Fresh ingredients, handcrafted dishes and spice come together in sharing style dishes.
