We came here for lunch. They have an amazing lunch specials. Food was great. The Chilean sea bass satay is heavenly. Nice environment good music. The bathroom is a little confusing Yin for women Yang for men. Can’t wait to go back. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
One of the best culinary experiences I’ve had in a while. The ambience, food and service are a vibe that you don’t want to miss when coming to New York. The flavors of the dishes are truly unmatched leaving you beyond satisfied. Each plate we tried was well thought from the sauces and garnishes. Truly a flavor explosion. Don’t skip out on the veg dumplings, chicken lettuce wraps and the pad Thai noodles. The highlight of the night was the Potted Carrot Cake. Our waiter told us it was genius, and he was right. I won’t give away the spoiler so you can find out for yourself how amazing it is. Definitely will be return to Tao in the future.
Wow. Incredible decorations and atmosphere. Feels like you are in a different world. Almost Disney World like. Really well done so you’d probably expect food to be no so good right but the food here was just as good as the atmosphere and decor. Service was also very attentive. When our waiter went on a breaks or something, someone else came by and checked on us and informed that waiter will be back shortly. There was a dish I did not like because it had seafood and they exchanged it for us. Incredible dining experience. Loved it!
I absolutely enjoyed my time here. I highly recommend the lobster and shrimp fried rice.The food tasted amazing but it was really salty. Apart from that, I had a wonderful time with my family celebrating our brothers birthday. They had forgotten a few of our foods but they fixed the issue right away. The bathrooms were clean and the staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean and the staff was alert and tended to our needs. I look forward to going back to this restaurant again.
Oh my goodness what can I say?? It was soooo good!!! I got the NYC restaurant week deal 2 course lunch for $30. The appetizer was so fulfilling it was like a meal unto itself and was so delicious!! I got the minced chicken lettuce wraps. And for the entree I got the tiger hangar steak which was incredible! For a $5 dessert I got the Chocolate Zen Parfait which wasn’t bad but not my personal favorite. Next time I would try a different dessert.
We have dined at Tao Uptown a handful of times over the years as well as the
downtown location. While both places have solid food, you visit either location primarily for the atmosphere, which is fantastic! We had a special party here for my wife in the private dining room on the 3rd floor. The view from that room overlooks the entire restaurant. The experience was awesome. We couldn't recommend a party here highly enough.
Super cool interior decor and atmosphere! Our waitress was great & very knowledgeable about the menu. Pictured is the sake flight, chicken lettuce wraps, sweet & spicy shrimp, kung pao chicken, and Ruby red martini. Everything was delicious! The shrimp was a little too fried for me, but flavor was great nonetheless. The menu had lots of good options so it was hard to decide what we wanted, but everything was tasty. Glad we tried it!
Marvelously dark and enticing. Tao was filled with visual beauty and great food. Cocktails were tasty. My pork chop was delicious and pre-cut for chopsticks. The brussels sprouts were very good, too. The doughnut dessert was a bit disappointing. The three sauces were predictable and should have been more exotic.
Tao Uptown Manhattan is best known for its Asian ambiance and decor. The restaurant has a bar/lounge area and two levels of seating, which includes tables and booths - all under the watchful eye of a giant Buddha statue and under scrolls that drape the ceiling. Although Tao has become well known and is a touristy spot, they have still retained good food and service. It had been a while since my last visit, but the food was just as I remembered it and the service was decent - the hostess was a little better than our server, but nothing terrible except that he could have been more attentive. I enjoy the pad thai noodles and for dessert, the legendary giant fortune cookie is a must.
I came here for Christmas Eve for brunch.
I must say the food was amazing, the place was beyond beautiful and the service was top notch .
I enjoyed the drinks and the food so very much - my only complaint is that it was a tad bit expensive but never the less the place was 10/10.
