   I love it!! This is my 2nd time going here. Like the environment. The food is so good and not that expensive. If you want something classic and not expensive this is the place to go!!

   Everything was amazing!! I loved the place and the service!!! We took advantage of happy hour and when we were ready the host brought us to the table to celebrate my love’s birthday 🎂!!! The server was super helpful explaining every detail in the menu and giving us some recommendations to choose our food and drinks!!

   Food was okay, very salty and portion was not up to par, or expectations. But, what saved the night was the bumping DJ, the jams were literally a whole mood. Almost started dancing, actually did dance. Definitely recommend this place for the vibes and ambience, NOT the food. My entree was smaller than my dessert, but more expensive. Buddha was big and good for pictures, but use flash, very dark in there.

   One of our favorite's in NYC. Atmosphere is great, if you like a very lively, club like feel. Food is excellent as well as the service. A must stop every time we are in town.

   Made a 6:30 reservation. Was seated at 8pm. This was a special birthday dinner and they wrote 'Happy Anniversary' on the dessert. Staff was extremely overwhelmed.

    Been here many times and been to Tao's all over the world. Brought all our appetizers out at once 2yellowtail jalapeño, crispy rice spicy tuna, lollipop chicken, edamame, and 4 orders of Chilean sea bass satay. It t didn't even fit in the table. Almost fell off. 2 of us gave up our app plates. Felt rushed like I was in a fast food restaurant. Not sure why thing have changed, but this was odd!
