What people say, in short
Zao in Gomti Nagar is frequently recommended for Chinese, Japanese and broader Pan Asian food. One commenter who visited twice says everything was good both times, another calls it budget-friendly, and a different commenter highlights its good prawn preparations. The main caveat comes from a commenter who finds it hit and miss across dishes, citing the smoked salmon sushi as a miss while praising the garlic prawns, though they still consider it decent overall.
