Review of Tao’s kitchen
I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at Tao’s, and I can confidently say it was the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the limited selection. It felt like there were only a handful of dishes available, and sadly, those that were there had clearly been sitting out for hours. Even under the heat lamps, the food was ice cold, which is never a good sign.
The only redeeming aspect of the meal was the five chicken balls that were brought out fresh. However, this minor highlight couldn’t make up for the overall lack of quality and variety. The dessert section was equally disappointing, with just three small pieces of pie and a couple of other desserts that looked unappetizing. The Jell-O was particularly unappealing, as it had a layer of water at the bottom, making it clear that it had been poorly prepared or stored.
Since moving to this town, I had been debating whether to try Tao’s for dinner, and I genuinely wish I hadn’t. It’s frustrating to see such potential wasted on what was supposed to be a delightful dining experience. I can’t recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be looking elsewhere for my Chinese food fix. Save your time and money—this is one restaurant to skip!

Food was terrible! It's like they used left overs that customers left on their plates! Chicken chop suey all it had was cabbage that's it! And a tiny piece of Chicken! Beef and vegetables, 2 small carrot pieces and all cabbage 3 pieces of beef. The sweet and sour pork was tough and tasted like I was drinking salt water out of the ocean! Do not recommend!
Absolutely awesome place since it reopened, still need working but awesome since it reopened.

Our large family enjoyed the buffet on the weekend, excellent quality food. Not a huge selection, but they kept it stocked for everyone there and brought out new desserts throughout our time there.Good value, nice service, will absolutely be back... We are excited to try the regular menu also!

Outstanding service! We came late in the evening because we didn’t realize they were closing soon. They literally made food for us to fill up the buffet food.
The food was good. But not incredible.

One of the best affordable Asian cuisine. When you're passing Wetaskwin, be sure to lookup Tao's. They have a buffet from 430pm to 830pm. Must try!
