   Terrible. Even after booking and paying $20 advance, given a community table to share with 4 other guests. Even though upstairs was quite empty. After big argument with the manager, were given a table for 2 upstairs which till we left was 50% empty. Total discrimination. If you are not a white, please avoid this restaurant. Arrogant staff at the reception too. Felt insulted being a well to do Indian who spent over $ 230 for dinner for 2!

   The decor was great. The food outstanding. Was there for my hubby’s 50th birthday dinner with our two boys 8 and 12. The service was good overall. We were over charged for Salmon Sushi Rolls. The menu at the restaurant said Salmon Rolls were $9. Bill said $36 for salmon plus $20 for rolls. I asked why the extra cost. They claimed they did not have regular salmon sushi rolls just smoked salmon. The menu did not say Smoked anywhere. Whatever dude. Karma.Is all I have to say to that. The bathrooms were in the basement which sucked as always with most New York City Bathrooms. And of course the Music was so loud none of us could hear ourselves think let alone talk. It was ridiculous loud. Completely Unacceptable. Will not return.

   The absolute best Hot and Sour Soup I have ever had! Our other dishes were excellent as well. A bit loud but hey, it’s New York!

   We had a reservation at 9.30 PM, were seated 10 mns later & ordered dinner & a bottle of wine, at 10.30 they turned off the music n lit the whole place off to close while people were still eating - to Tao management: i believe you can not take reservations after 8.30 pm if u wana close off early, a dinner outing is 1.5-2 hrs per the norms Never coming back

   Very nice ambiance and decor. Cool place. Great food. Nice service but they are sooo busy. Is a little loud to carry conversation. But I will definitely come back. Our food and service was very good.
