It is good to ask for the waiter suggestions, everything is delicious!!!
Stefan SulistyoSeptember 12, 2012
You can book the Sky Lounge for events up to I would guess about 25 people. Then enjoy the view from above.

Waiter recommended Black Asahi beer. Good choice! As he said, "It's a dark beer. Like Guinness. But without the horrible aftertaste."
JJFebruary 21, 2011
Trendy atmosphere! Great food and drinks! Loved the Lychee martini! Fun for a group of friends or a romantic date!
Tatiana CapoaniOctober 17, 2014

Ksenia 🌺August 20, 2011

Christina LaFonteFebruary 15, 2013
Most incredible food I have ever had! Worth every penny!
Apoorva JApril 6, 2014
Gorgeous decor and yummy food. So impressed by the quick service!
Mark SalongaFebruary 19, 2012
Restaurant Week lunch is only $2 less than their normal Prix-Fixe offerings, so if you're hankering for some cheap Tao, stop in anytime for lunch.
Raneem KattanSeptember 21, 2015
Chilean Sea bass is amazing so is the chef's special roll
Marcela CamachoFebruary 11, 2014
Amazing place great setting. Getting our table even with a reservation took forever!!!
Arjun MishraDecember 24, 2012
Chilean sea bass is the best fish I have ever eaten. Negligent not to get it. Wonderful ambience.
Rebecca MazzaMarch 17, 2016
The food was actually really good! Great for large groups
Margarita KrupNovember 25, 2015
Chilean sea bass and the Kobe sliders are amazing
Ruchi GuptaJune 30, 2014
Amazing food and ambience! Kung Pao chicken was really awesome.
Elle WangJune 20, 2010
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.
Galia ZaidenbergDecember 26, 2013
Crispy coconut shrimps - one of the best seafood dishes ever. Period.
Steven BeydaNovember 11, 2013
Have a drink at the lounge before you eat. One of the best spots in NYC
Eda HorjetiFebruary 28, 2023
Beverages and environment were great, in contrast food was commercial.
Suzan Not SusanJanuary 27, 2013
Amazingly delicious food. Sea bass and lobster wontons are simply divine.
Mrs LApril 27, 2010
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!
FaithSeptember 4, 2012
Great ambiance! The lighting is intimate and fun! Would go back every night!
Joy SiegelJanuary 12, 2012
Incredible dinner, a must on your next NYC visit. Wasabi crusted filet; they way to go.
AD NysAugust 18, 2015
DJ doesn't take requests.
Charles RJanuary 6, 2017
Horrible place unless you want to pay an upcharge of 700% for seafood. I import and sell seafood, I know how it should be priced. There's nothing that makes theirs more special.
EmilyJune 24, 2015
Large portions! Great food and drinks all around!
Romina HMay 15, 2013
Two spring rolls to ask for: duck spring rolls and chocolate spring rolls
Joseph FranzoiSeptember 9, 2013
Wasabi filet snd shitakis are amazing. Great vibe!
