    Tao was the best dinner experience ever. My bf and I went for our anniversary and we had the best meal ever. Our server Tre was so sweet and nice as he went over the menu with us as first timers. I love how private and dimmed the ambiance is as we had a booth as requested which I appreciated it so much since we were celebrating something special. We definitely will be coming back for happy hour. Thank you for an amazing experience.

    Very nice appearance upon entry. Service is outstanding. The food is good, but nothing stands out over other corner store Chinese restaurants. No disrespect, but I've had way better Mongolian beef at low end Chinese food stands. Would I go back? Yes, because of the service.
