    the first time I was there, I went for the full-on Tao experience: paper thin slices of Kobe beef ordered by the ounce which you marinate & cook yourself over a hot stone on an open flame!

    It is more of a bar than a restaurant. Very loud, dim light. If you don't know what you want, just have the sample selection that includes all appetizers and different meat. They are huge portions.

    If you don't have a reservation, there's a six seat sushi bar on the second floor in the back that's usually empty or a short wait.

    I have so many mixed reviews of this place. The food is good but the service sucks most of the time. It can get very loud if they are busy!
