Great place!! Not a big fan of Asian food usually but their stuff was delicious !!!! A bit pricey but not more than other places in the same area, especially for a place this size. Waitstaff was nice and helpful, very Knowledgeable too. Will definitely be bringing visitors and family to have dinner here every now and then!

TAO is just the nicest & coolest decor Chinese Restaurant with the best food around.  If you're lucky, you live in one of the big US cities that have one (or 2).  If you don't, make sure to visit when you travel to NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.  The Giant Fortune Cookie is a MUST dessert (no, it's nothing like a normal fortune cookie - it's made from almond flour, so it's softer & tasty, filled with mousse, and served with a nice variety of excellent fruit.  You probably won't have room after dinner to eat it all, so make sure to take the leftover cookie parts to go.

This is one of the best restaurants in the entire city.  The dishes are exquisite, creative, tasty.
You can find lots of good food in the city but almost no restaurant can provide an ambience that TAO does.

I’m lucky that this restaurant is in my neighborhood.

Highly recommend!

We came here to celebrate an important birthday. Slow start as we kept waiting for more than 30 minutes before we saw the menus. The restaurant is very impressive and huge. Food is well presented but far from fantastic. Where TAO falls short is service. We were felt rushed but told we could take all the time we needed. We were presented the bill/check without asking for it, again told no rush at all. We settled and then wanted a green tea to help digestion and were told "you've actually been at the table for nearly 3 hours". Unfortunately we had already settled the bill and with the seemingly obligatory tip. We certainly wouldn't have been generous had we had such a stupid comment before settling the bill. Ruined it for us. I guess TAO is modelled on a once-only experience... if that is the case, it certainly succeeds. My advice to TAO is: must try much harder.

This place is nice but pricey. The drinks were good but pricey. The food was good but pricey. This is a nice spot if you are taking out a date or you want to eat somewhere fancy. Supposedly your entree is enough to share with people at the table. The entree was big but still pricey. One thing I did like was the music. The place does have a DJ. Overall you are coming to this place for the decor and the experience. Because you can find a nice inexpensive Chinese restaurant serving the same food. They have one vegan option but no vegan entrees.  You could ask for them to make one of the veggie dishes vegan upon request.
