Architecture and decor is cool, but that’s about it. Ask for a tour and don’t bother eating here.
Had a reservation for a group of 5 to celebrate a birthday. Our reservation time at 7:15 and we came 10 mins early. It seemed like they had our table ready and as they were able to seat us, they decided to give our table to someone else and we ended up having to wait 20+ minutes for a table. Then. There was major confusion because we were waiting in the bar/lounge area and they sat us before our bar drinks were brought out to us. They sat us at a table meant for 8 – which meant our table of 5 was so spaced out and the room was so loud, we couldn’t talk to anyone across the table. It was such a vibe killer. They were playing “oldies” from ~2010; it felt so outdated. The food was overpriced for the quality – honestly, none of the food was even average. You’re really just paying for the vibes here. Service was so slow, especially since we were sat late — they didn’t even offer the birthday boy a free dessert, or even offer us a dessert menu, so we just left in a hurry and grabbed dessert elsewhere.

Had a pretty good first time experience at TAO with my coworker. We didn’t have a reservation, but thankfully we found immediate seating in the lounge area.
Our waiter was very nice and attentive despite how busy it is the day after Valentine’s Day.
Our food was very good! We had the shishito peppers 7/10, surf and turf specialty roll 9/10, ebi with caviar on top 8/10.
The atmosphere was very chill, but be prepared that it is very dim. The music selection was fire and you were able to still talk to your table.
Would go back, especially for happy hour.

Such an aesthetic restaurant — I absolutely loved how beautiful and inviting it is inside. Definitely a great spot for date night!
I came here for a company event, and they accommodated our group perfectly. We had a party of almost 18 people, which isn’t small by any means, but the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we walked in.
We ordered a ton of food to share around the table. There was honestly so much that I couldn’t even name everything! What I really appreciated was how they didn’t bring everything out all at once. The dishes came out little by little, which allowed us to truly savor each plate while enjoying great conversation and laughs.
I’m not a sushi girl at all, but that wasn’t an issue since they have plenty of other options. I ordered the steak, and wow — it was cooked to perfection, super tender, and literally melted in my mouth. I’d come back just for that dish alone.
For dessert, we ordered the large dessert platter that comes with six different desserts, and every single one was delicious. I tried them all, and each dessert was full of flavor.
Overall, such a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back — next time with my boyfriend for a date night! ️

3 of us went for Christmas dinner and I was extremely happy with the entire experience. The restaurant is lively and beautiful. It isn’t your typical establishment with bright lights and a quiet environment. Music is playing, but even with my hearing issues, I didn’t find it overly loud. Our server was incredible from start to finish. He provided perfect recommendations and explanations of the menu. He was meticulous in ensuring that food allergies were attended to, confirming each order with the kitchen. The food was great, both in presentation and taste. We ordered the snapper, pork fried rice, cashew chicken, lobster wontons, salad, veggie dumplings, tofu, and bok choy. All the dishes were enjoyed and the only reason for leftovers was that the serving sizes are quite large!! We also got desserts, the matcha crème brûlée and carrot cake. Both were a great ending to a perfect meal. Many restaurants have desserts that feel like an afterthought but these were different. The perfect “exclamation point” to end our meal. Thanks for the food, the service, and a great experience.

As a last minute escapade, we went to Tao. We walked in about 6:30pm on a Sat. night with no reservations. We were lucky to snag seats at the bar.
We order Lobster Fried Rice, Charred Brussels Sprouts, Chicken Satay, Crispy Lobster Roll, and the Wagu Steak Roll. Every thing we ordered was Delicious! If it wasn’t just the two of us we would have ordered even more food.
Besides the great food, they have a nice cocktail list. My wife had the Lychee Martini and I had sparkling water.
The bartenders are great. The atmosphere is a true hot spot. People were falling in all night.
One thing for sure, whoever designed the location… They didn’t hold back… The decor is absolutely off the charts.

The ambience was perfect for a date night. Went on a Saturday so they had music playing which was nice and settled until the DJ came and it got a little loud but still able to have a conversation. I would definitely recommend going and returning back for another tasteful food and drinks.

The moment you walk in, with that massive Buddha and the lighting and the crowd, you know this isn’t just dinner, it’s a whole scene. You come here because you want the night to feel alive. This is one of my favorite places in LA.
The dumplings are crispy and rich, heavy on chili oil and garlic. The fried rice wrapped in egg is pure comfort and perfect to split when the table is already full of dishes.
The chicken wing lollipops are a highlight. Sticky, sweet, a little spicy, has a kick, and genuinely fun to eat. You pick them up, get messy, and enjoy it.
The shrimp tempura specialty roll crunchy, saucy, stacked, and not minimalist sushi.
Absolutely recommended!

The food was genuinely good. Flavours were on point, dishes came out well executed, and it definitely lived up to the hype on that front.
Unfortunately, the service let the experience down. Staff weren’t very attentive and we had to repeatedly ask for basic things like cutlery, and even remind them about an order we had already placed. It wasn’t busy enough to justify the level of oversight, which made it feel careless rather than overwhelmed.
TAO has great food and an amazing atmosphere, but the service needs to match the standard of the kitchen. With better attention to guests, it would be a much stronger experience overall.

The atmosphere and the dj was great. The food however was so disappointing. The chicken gyoza were extremely salty. The vegetable fried rice was overtly cooked, dry, and crunchy in a way that it’s not supposed to be. The “crispy” orange chicken was some of the worst I’ve ever had. It wasn’t even crisp. Panda express makes better orange chicken. The chocolate Buddha was alright. We tried the Bali sunset mocktail which was good too. If you want to pay for a cool atmosphere/music/drinks then it’s cool but the food is not it, it’s disgusting especially for the price.

I love this place so much for its delicious food and atmosphere. I think we’ve already tried everything on the menu, and my absolute favorites that I definitely recommend trying are the Peking duck, the fried rice with meat, and the carrot cake dessert shaped like a flower pot. I’m looking forward to coming back!
