Natali BudzeyMay 19, 2012Best restarant with no doubt. Very very good sound and not far from LAVO ;)
peking duck spring rolls are one of the best apps around bar none. also very good spicy tuna rolls and dumplings
Jonathan HosterDecember 14, 2014Waiter recommended Black Asahi beer. Good choice! As he said, "It's a dark beer. Like Guinness. But without the horrible aftertaste."
Caroline R.August 16, 2011Great atmosphere... food and cocktails are amazing... the fortune cookie is great if you're having dessert.
Steven BeydaNovember 11, 2013Have a drink at the lounge before you eat. One of the best spots in NYC

Marcela CamachoFebruary 11, 2014Amazing place great setting. Getting our table even with a reservation took forever!!!
Service is a quite under par but the drinks make up for it, at least the lychee martini does.
Daniel PowellJuly 16, 2017The food is pretty good but it's definitely proud of its nightclub reputation...
Nichola MorganApril 6, 2011Kung Pow chicken and pad Thai - yum yum! Giant fortune cookie is fun dessert to share.
MacNovember 26, 2013Came in on a Tuesday at 3:45 is hoping to grab a later lunch. Immediately seated, but took too long to get anyone to come to our table. Waited 7 minutes and decided to leave. Expected better service.
Elaine JordaFebruary 23, 2011Chilean sea bass just melts in your mouth!!! P.S. Don't let the waitress "throw an appetizer platter" unless u wanna drop 3billz on apps alone!
Ramona SorianoMarch 31, 2011Went here for drinks from across the street, as Lavo was way too crowded. Time here with my girls was well spent, and the drinks selection is fab.
- Must go back for the lobster fried rice and giant fortune cookie.
Charles RJanuary 6, 2017Horrible 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.
Carlo De MarchisOctober 9, 2010We got the private room on top of the restaurant with a view on the big area and the buddah AMAZING
There's an awesome and affordable prix fixe dinner (around $30). Try the Wasabi Crusted Filet Mignon and Crispy Tuna Sashimi. Incredible. Read more
Lauren EllisonJanuary 11, 2012Try the Chilean Sea Bass! It's one of the best fish dishes I've ever had.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantJanuary 19, 2015Not my typical go-to but a super fun theme park experience. Food is good not great. Big for teen girl birthdays judging by last nite.
Daniel De MenaOctober 21, 2014Great atmosphere and good food. Cant leave out service...they are really on the ball. We had the sea bass and the coconut shrimp and for starters we went with tuna tartar and steamed dumplings. Great!
Paul MiraldiApril 13, 2010Don't miss the $24.07 prix fixe lunch at Tao. Three courses. Banana bread pudding - Must have dessert. Read more
