We usually go to Downtown one. And it was our first time in Uptown Tao.
We had same great experience. Impeccable service, great food, served fast.
Definitely on the list of our favorite places as well.

really great food overall, but very overpriced. I think it's because the place is really more for the vibe and or experience. Or I have heard for partying or things like that. It was a great experience of the restaurant, the service was wonderful and everything tasted great. Again, just a bit overpriced, went around 6 PM on weekend on Sunday and easily got seats. Dessert though was wonderful and great value for money ($13 for 3 large scoops of either ice cream or sorbet)

Full disclosure: I came here during lunch on a weekday which probably isn’t when this place shines. The server was very nice, but I ended up having to walk up to random servers to order after waiting around 15 minutes (which normally isn’t a big deal but it is during lunchtime). I had the coriander lamb chops which were delicious and perfectly! It was served with some type of curry paste (probably red Thai curry paste) which made it taste like a middle eastern and Thai fusion.

The atmosphere was very impressive, I couldn’t stop looking around the restaurant and appreciating the decor and size of the interior. All in all, this spot seems more like a late night date or clubbing spot.

Went for my birthday and wow so amazing. The restaurant atmosphere and decorations was definitely a vibe. Food didn’t take long even tho it was busy. I ordered the crispy orange chicken it came with a side of white rice and the best I ever had. The fried rice was amazing too. For dessert had the chocolate cake which came with ice cream. Again, Wow. Must visit place

Fantastic destination especially if you are celebrating. Went there to treat our friend for his birthday and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish.

The service the food and the ambiance are great. The only minor irritant is how the men’s rest room is setup not a very practical setup for the urinal area but outside of that no complaints…ended up using the stalls and thankfully they are old school!!!!😜

We enjoyed all the dishes and portions sizes are enough to share . My favorites weee the vegetarian dumplings and the sea bass I just love that fish

Will certainly be bad

Treat yourself to an unforgettable dining experience at TAO Uptown! Recently, we had the pleasure of taking a client here, and it surpassed all expectations. This was my second visit, and I must say, the experience was elevated even above our first!

For starters, the ambiance is impeccable. Sitting upstairs offers a breathtaking view that enhances the overall dining atmosphere. The personalized service adds an extra touch of luxury, making you feel truly valued as a guest.

Before diving into the main course, make sure to stop by the bar in the front for some exceptional cocktails. The mixologists here know their craft, and each drink is a work of art in itself.

As for the food, prepare to have your taste buds tantalized! We opted for the chef's tasting menu this time, and it took our culinary journey to new heights. Each dish was a masterpiece, bursting with flavor and creativity. From the first bite to the last, we were absolutely blown away.

In conclusion, TAO Uptown is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a truly remarkable dining experience.

Our favorite meal of the trip with amazing cuisine, service, and conversation. The ambiance is swanky and hip and the anesthetics have become timeless in this established chic restaurant.

We had a table of 6 and went with the chef's tasting, which was an excellent decision. The variety was perfect, and nothing was left behind!

Tao is a high end Asian restaurant you are sure to have the zen effects.. Food is very fusion like and promise to awaken your tastebuds.. the cucumber side in the dumplings was phenomenal. Also the portion sizes are big so very shareable. Our host Precious gave us an awesome table
And service.they have some amazing cocktails and while you wait in the lounge be sure to order the $5 sake or some cocktails.. I would highly recommend to book ahead to get a table. Perfect for date nights or dinner with family and friends
