This is our second visit here, this time for my Mrs' birthday and our daughters were with us. Food and drinks were excellent. Yayo Oasis, Blue Hawaiian, Cabernet Sauvignon and a Cosmopolitan were truly amazing and recommended. The paella was very well stocked, lots of fresh seafood and very flavorful. Surf and Turf, steak was delicious but for a NY Strip the quality of the cut could be a little better. The surf part of the meal was excellent, the calamari and shrimp were delicious. The chicken mofongo was well received and enjoyed. And our little one enjoyed her chicken strips and fresh cut french fries. Service was excellent, especially when we requested a table instead of a booth for better comfort. The ambiance was pretty mellow, loved the giant clock on the wall. Prices are moderate and you get a nice serving. Was pretty quiet and we enjoyed the music playing, not ridiculously loud but enjoyable and watching some Olympic Games on the TV. We enjoyed ourselves very much, thank you Yayo!!!!!!!

The food and ambiance is good. My go to when feeling sick is ordering the sopa de pollo

Came to NY to visit my grandpops we stopped by Yayo, had the ceviche, i got the arrow con pollo and we got a side of sweet plantains. All of the food was great, environment was good wish i stayed longer so i could go again. My grandfather does the upholstery here, he's very proud of his work and he comes often to eat there in return. The ceviche was a lil bit on the spicy side but very good nonetheless

This place never disappoints. Great food at really reasonable prices. Come here for the fried pork chops, rice and beans, tostones, pernil, morir sonando. The classics. You'll be happy

The food ? Top of the lineeeee, always fresh, consistent in flavors, traditionally made & just straight up banging! The service ? Unmatched, they treat you like their own, super helpful, sweet & attentive ! The ambiance? Suuuuuper chill, lovely presented art around you, comfortable seating & welcoming atmosphere!

I had another craving for Dominican food. II'll try to do justice and describe how good the meal is. The mofongo comes w this amazing sauce. I call it MAGIC sauce. It makes everything I dip in it sooo good. I had my favorite bistec empanizado, this time it was thinly pounded and breaded n fried to perfection. Add garlic in oil on top. Crispy, crunchy, beefy & juicy. I got i w tostones. Omg My mouth is watering just thinking about how good it was. The chicken chicharones perfectly cooked as well. We had it w side of red rice n beans. So we had a feast. There's enough let overs for tomorrow. I can't wait. I didnt even know there are 2 locations. I usually order by phone n go pick up. Good thing they asked me to come to 9th street location. The food was still hot when I got hone ~10 min walk. The only thing is the upcharge %fee for paying by credit card, "check out charge" is this the new norm? It's not written in the menu but I'm starting to see in the restaurants now.
