I would definitely come back here if I wanted something fast and healthy. The employees were all nice and the food was definitely fresh.

I had basically a steak burrito Asian style. I think it cost me $13.25. And it was killer! Super good! My wife had a bowl of soup I think they called chicken broth soup or something and it has chicken in it. She said it was very good. I would highly recommend.

Stopped in yesterday for a quick lunch. It is great to have a fast food choice offering a healthier alternative. Staff was so very friendly, and even came out to our table to ask how it as and make sure we were enjoying it.

Zao Asian Fusion: A Flavorful Gem in the Heart of Parker Tucked within the bustling mega plaza shared with Trader Joe’s and Costco in Parker, Colorado, Zao Asian Fusion stands out as a true culinary gem—an inviting space where vibrant flavors meet warm hospitality in a setting that’s as thoughtfully crafted as the food itself. From the moment we approached the door, we were greeted with a smile by Tate, a recent transplant from Texas whose upbeat demeanor and genuine warmth instantly set a welcoming tone. Though new to the team, Tate already feels like part of the restaurant’s fabric, adding an extra spark to a place already known for its top-tier service and upbeat energy. Inside, Zao immediately impresses with its clean, modern interior. The spacious dining area, elegantly furnished with polished wooden tables, offers an atmosphere that is both stylish and unpretentious. The air is filled with the aroma of freshly prepared ingredients, the kind of scent that hints at real cooking—no shortcuts, no reheated pre-packaged meals. Thanks to smart, efficient ventilation, the kitchen’s fragrant output enhances the experience without overwhelming the senses. The open-concept kitchen allows diners to witness the assembly of their dishes in real time. Zao’s well-balanced menu is a masterclass in customizable Asian fusion. Guests can choose from a vibrant array of vegetables, proteins ranging from tofu to grilled steak, and a thoughtful selection of sauces and carbs to round out each bowl or plate. The result is a meal that feels fresh, nourishing, and perfectly tailored to the guest’s palate. On hand to guide you through the options is a team that is clearly passionate about what they do. Danilo, one of Zao’s standout staff members, offers personalized recommendations with a smile, ensuring each diner feels cared for and confident in their choices. Zao has not only been a place for delicious, flavorful meals but also a hub of warmth and welcome. One of its newest team members, Anand, originally from Hong Kong, has called Colorado home for the past seven years. With a calm presence and genuine appreciation for good food and good people, Anand has found in Zao more than just a position—it’s a community. He feels truly embraced by the Zao family, grateful to be part of something that feels both grounding and joyful. Right at the register, we’re greeted by Addy, a Colorado native whose bright smile sets the tone for every visit. Kind and attentive, she makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. She shares that the best part of her job is meeting amazing customers who keep coming back for the consistently delicious food—and it shows. Her warm energy is a key ingredient in what makes Zao feel special. Beyond the food, Zao’s beverage bar offers more than the standard fare. Creative, refreshing drinks made with exotic fruits provide a fun and flavorful way to cool off or complement the meal—an appreciated touch that elevates the fast-casual experience. And there’s more reason to visit this month: Zao is proudly celebrating its second anniversary, and rewards members are being treated to exclusive specials and deals—a fitting tribute to two years of excellence in service and taste. In a competitive dining landscape, Zao Asian Fusion stands apart by staying true to what matters: genuine hospitality, fresh ingredients, and a dining experience that consistently delivers. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Zao is a stop worth making—delicious, dependable, and always welcoming.
