   Made a reservation far in advanced and was so excited . We were sat in an awkward make shift seat where you couldn’t see anything next to the waitress station. They kept putting a tray of dirty dishes less than 3 feet from me and then other wait staff would attempt to squeeze thru the remaining space and bang into my chair. It happened at least 15 times without a single apology . If you are going to take reservations make sure your staff can perform their jobs without disrupting diners at the “special makeshift” table . Food did not hold a candle to Las Vegas or Chicago Tao .

   Very crowded - almost chaotic in reception and bar area. Took 35 minutes to get seats. Can be improved a lot. But once seated, we were impressed by high efficiency of order taking and quick delivery, courteous staff checking often about food etc. Recommend you to dine here.

   Booked table and arrived in the 15 min grace period after booking time. Table already given away - restaurant was chaos - had to wait nearly an hour for a table. Were told different reasons but reception. Would never go back

   Why book a reservation when you have to wait an hour to be seated?

   We arrived promptly for our 5:15 reservation. The place is beyond packed, there are no seats in the lounge, hostesses are rude and tell you to step aside till they have a table. 45 min later they finally find us a table & we sat. The waiter shows up after 7 min of us sitting and brings us a round of water and wants to take our order immediately. We ask him to bring our cocktails first till we have a chance to review the menu. I’m a rude manner he says that’s ok but we only have 90 min. At this table to be out. We were shocked. A place that charge $92 for a Chinese beef & broccoli cannot be so low class and rude and obnoxious. This place is nothing more than a super glorified PF change at 10 times the cost. The food was mediocre and nothing had any taste to it. The bill was over $300 for 4 and we had nothing extravagant or fancy. They even charge you $40 to book the reservation. Bottom line don’t waste your time & precious money on this joint. Just because Kim kardashian said this is one of her favorite restaurants doesn’t make this good at all. EXTREMELY Dissatisfied

    I love the ambience of TAO, however because of the name and decor, I expected a different type of music selection. It was my daughter's 18th birthday and I felt we should have gotten a table to ourselves or sat in a more quaint section, if there is such a thing. We were seated at a table with a lounge type seat with 3 other people. I did not like that. I had the BBQ chicken with chicken fried rice, and it was just ok. I expected more seasoning and a little fiery kick. I guess I should have asked it to be extra spicy. My daughter had the pad thai, which was delicious. The fortune cookie made for my daughter was sooooo good and very pretty. My daughter was so delighted! The prices are reasonable and the portions decent.
