We pride ourselves on using premium ingredients, such as filet mignon for our Beef & Broccoli and tiger prawns in our Shrimp Satay. Our culinary journey began with a small eatery near Rockefeller Center, where our seasoned chefs, recruited from China, honed their skills in adapting authentic Chinese flavors to suit the local palate. We've since added a young chef to our team, bringing new flair and modern presentation to our dishes. We invite you to try our signature dishes, including the flavorful Curry Veggies, spicy Kung Pao Chicken, rich Beijing Chicken, savory Beef Rib, luxurious Truffle Scallion Pancake, indulgent Lobster Crunchy Noodles, and sumptuous Creamy King Crab Udon.

    A wonderful treat for a special occasion. We spent our 28th Valentine's Day together, dining on peking duck, carved table side, and a succulent branzino. Also not to be missed: The vegetable spring rolls, the hot-and-sour soup and the beignet doughnuts with Nutella drizzle. An all-around fabulous experience.

    Had a lovely first experience at TAO. They have a beautiful lounge you can wait in and get drinks. The ambiance of the restaurant is dim, intimate, and elegant. Drinks were delicious and good size for price. My partner and I got a special that included an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Both price and portions were very reasonable. The food was excellent. Service was very quick. Our waiter would only look at and communicate to my boyfriend, which was a bit odd. However, he was kind and helpful. Will definitely come back.

    Highly rated restaurant caught my eye, very close to subway and The Guggenheim. Walked over for lunch and loved every minute of this meal. Dee took great care of us. We enjoyed delicious soups, pork dumplings, and two lunch entree portions with brown rice. We had General Tsos chicken and Beef with Scallions. It was so affordable and delicious in a quaint, friendly setting. Trying to figure out how to get back there during this trip. It was delicious.
