TAO

Had a pretty good first time experience at TAO with my coworker. We didn’t have a reservation, but thankfully we found immediate seating in the lounge area. Our waiter was very nice and attentive despite how busy it is the day after Valentine’s Day. Our food was very good! We had the shishito peppers 7/10, surf and turf specialty roll 9/10, ebi with caviar on top 8/10. The atmosphere was very chill, but be prepared that it is very dim. The music selection was fire and you were able to still talk to your table. Would go back, especially for happy hour.

Such an aesthetic restaurant — I absolutely loved how beautiful and inviting it is inside. Definitely a great spot for date night! I came here for a company event, and they accommodated our group perfectly. We had a party of almost 18 people, which isn’t small by any means, but the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we walked in. We ordered a ton of food to share around the table. There was honestly so much that I couldn’t even name everything! What I really appreciated was how they didn’t bring everything out all at once. The dishes came out little by little, which allowed us to truly savor each plate while enjoying great conversation and laughs. I’m not a sushi girl at all, but that wasn’t an issue since they have plenty of other options. I ordered the steak, and wow — it was cooked to perfection, super tender, and literally melted in my mouth. I’d come back just for that dish alone. For dessert, we ordered the large dessert platter that comes with six different desserts, and every single one was delicious. I tried them all, and each dessert was full of flavor. Overall, such a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back — next time with my boyfriend for a date night! 💕🍽️

As a last minute escapade, we went to Tao. We walked in about 6:30pm on a Sat. night with no reservations. We were lucky to snag seats at the bar. We order Lobster Fried Rice, Charred Brussels Sprouts, Chicken Satay, Crispy Lobster Roll, and the Wagu Steak Roll. Every thing we ordered was Delicious! If it wasn't just the two of us we would have ordered even more food. Besides the great food, they have a nice cocktail list. My wife had the Lychee Martini and I had sparkling water. The bartenders are great. The atmosphere is a true hot spot. People were falling in all night. One thing for sure, whoever designed the location... They didn't hold back... The decor is absolutely off the charts.

I really wanted to love Tao Sushi because the venue itself is nice, the interior is lovely, and the atmosphere is wonderful. The service was also good. However, the food was a major letdown. The shishito peppers and edamame appetizers were terrible, and the sushi was just average. There are better sushi options around for the price point, even if the venue here is beautiful.

The atmosphere and the dj was great. The food however was so disappointing. The chicken gyoza were extremely salty. The vegetable fried rice was overtly cooked, dry, and crunchy in a way that it’s not supposed to be. The “crispy” orange chicken was some of the worst I’ve ever had. It wasn’t even crisp. Panda express makes better orange chicken. The chocolate Buddha was alright. We tried the Bali sunset mocktail which was good too. If you want to pay for a cool atmosphere/music/drinks then it’s cool but the food is not it, it’s disgusting especially for the price.
