Her first major acting role was in the 1972 television series Anna and the King, in which she played Princess Serena.

She played Soon-Lee Klinger in the penultimate and final episodes of M*A*S*H with David Ogden Stiers. She reprised the role in the short-lived spinoff, AfterMASH.

In 1987, she appeared in the series Max Headroom, along with Matt Frewer, Concetta Tomei, George Coe, Andreas Katsulas, and W. Morgan Sheppard and the late Charles Rocket. In 2001, she played a midwife in a pivotal episode of Once and Again (with William O. Campbell and Paul Dooley.)

Chao has also made appearances in many successful films, including The Joy Luck Club (co-starring France Nuyen), What Dreams May Come (featuring Scott Trimble), I Am Sam (which also featured her TNG co-star Brent Spiner), and Freaky Friday (featuring Willie Garson).

In 2005, she starred in Just Like Heaven (with fellow TNG and DS9 guest star Ron Canada) and in Life of the Party (with VOY guest star David Clennon). Recently, she has made guest appearances on the HBO drama series Tell Me You Love Me. Ronny Cox has also appeared on that series.
