A-may-zing place! I'm resorting to made up words as it was a mind blowing experience for me - the ambiance, the superbly interesting decor, the cavernous interior, none of these were in my expectations, even after having done a quick scan through previous google reviews. Now, inexpensive - this place is not. But it did give our large group an evening to remember. The drinks were good, the gastropub-esque presentations on every dish were a feast to the eyes, and the flavor and perfection of the dishes were an equally impressive feast to the palate. Stand-out dishes included the sushi/sashimi omakase, the bone marrow fried rice, the cod on stick, the roast duck, and the wagyu sliced steak. The dessert tower was a perfect end to our feast.

I visited TAO Downtown for my friend’s birthday with her family, and the experience was unforgettable. I tried the orange chicken with rice, a California roll, and a Shirley Temple, all of which were delicious and beautifully presented. The ambiance was stunning with cultural art pieces on the walls, the towering Buddha was breathtaking, and a projector light occasionally changed the scenery over the statue. The interior and exterior were elegant, the lighting was perfect, and the music set a relaxing yet lively mood. Despite the restaurant being crowded, the service was excellent, our waiter was friendly, and the food arrived quickly. What made the experience truly memorable was the combination of the visual display and the appetizing well-prepared dishes. Dining at TAO Downtown made me feel exuberant, relaxed, and delighted by every detail.

I was skeptical about the sizes of the plates, but portions sizes were great. You'll definitely spend a pretty penny here so be ready! There are mostly kids that come here...in their 20s...but great atmosphere. We made reservations for 2 and got seated faily quickly. The only bad part as you can see i was seated where there is a huge column and missed out on the atmosphere during the meal. I would say...dont waste money on drinks here just get food. There are many more places around to get cheaper drinks.

Amazing ambience!!! Really enjoyed this meal overall. Started off with tiki blossom cocktail which was perfect!! The karaage chicken was just like chicken nuggets nothing like karage at all. The chicken dim sums were soft and tasty, and the filling was nicely seasoned—perfect with the dipping sauce. Macao chicken was the standout for me: super tender, flavorful, and very satisfying. Everything felt well made and comforting. Would definitely come back for this again. 😊

Delicious and fun, worth the hype, definitely recommend. Atmosphere was unique and awesome; sunken dining room with tables down the stairs facing a large statue with projector lights. Food was great, enjoyed every dish from sea, land, and sky. Sea bass skewers were amazing, absolutely incredible. Spicy tuna was good, sized appropriate, rice was cold though. Shrimp tempura roll was awesome, shrimp tempura was placed on top and the batter was prefect, crispy but airy and never oily. Blue fin tuna roll was also a favorite, smooth and light. Pork buns were yummy, fluffy and meat was cooked perfectly. Enjoyed the dumpling platter but couldn't tell which was which. Rice, lo mein, orange chicken, and Mongolian beef all were very very good, feel like you can't go wrong with any dish you choose. Buon Appetito, Piatto Pulito 😋
