TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge offers a memorable dining experience with excellent service and delicious dishes. The restaurant's ambiance is chic and modern, with red decor, dark walls, and gold statues. Customers praise the attentive and friendly staff, who work well as a team and ensure their cups are never empty. The menu features a variety of Asian-inspired dishes, including crispy pork belly, Thai shrimp, and Wagyu steak. Many diners enjoy the Tao Tuesday special, which allows sampling of appetizers, entrees, and desserts at a fixed price. The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with choices from their menu often highlighted for their taste.
Standout dishes include chicken lollipops with a sweet and sour glaze, pan-seared pork potstickers, and chicken lo mein. The Thai shrimp is praised for its crispy texture and sweet and sour sauce. Other favorites are the Filet, Salmon, pork fried rice, and Dragon tail ribs. The sushi is also highly rated, with many enjoying their favorite rolls, along with vegetable fried rice and pork noodles. For dessert, the fresh donuts coated in sugar and served with caramel, chocolate, and vanilla anglaise sauce are popular.
The ambiance can be lively, and the music adds to the modern vibe, making it a fun place for a night out. However, some reviews mention that the setting is quite dark and moody, resembling a nightclub. Prices are considered steep, similar to what might be expected at a casino. While the atmosphere is vibrant, a few diners noticed dogs brought into the restaurant, which they found unusual. Overall, TAO Asian Bistro & Lounge provides a great combination of quality food and service in a fun, modern environment.
