by Dana M. on reason for the 4 instead of a 5? the long wait. if you are going for restaurant week, be ready to wait about an hour or more for a table, even if you have a reservation! the said, the meal for dinner for restaurant week was great! i went with 2 of my friends and was able to try a lot of different things. apps: -Satay of chicken with peanut sauce- 3 big pieces of chicken with a sauce, too much peanut for me, but still good -Jumbo Shrimp Tempura- this was 4 jumbo shrimp with 2 choices of sauce, i like the dipping options -Pork Pot stickers- 5 dumplings served over a sauce. who doesn't like dumplings? Entree- -Wok Seared New York Sirloin with Shiitake Mushrooms and Szechwan Potatoes- i ordered it medium rare and it was actually cooked right with a pink center. many pieces that are already cut up so that you can use chop sticks (i love using job sticks!). i really liked the potatoes, they were crispy and delicious, just wish there were more than 4-5 on the plate. i love mushrooms, but not a huge fan of shiitakes -Hong Kong XO Shrimp with Long Beans and Jasmine Rice- this was delicious! came with at least 8 large shrimp, served over well seasoned green beans. i definitely recommend this dessert- -banana pudding- AMAZING!!! i can't even explain, just get this! the pudding was light, but so tasty, especially the crumbs on top. it came with a fried banana, but i don't think it even needed that. just the pudding and the crumbs was all i needed! sooo definitely go to TAO for the restaurant week special. it is worth the wait!
by Paul K. on It's too bad this is the only game in town...that is, it's the only semi-nice club in midtown east. On a Saturday night, they seemed to let every guido in - guys way outnumbered women, and it was wall to wall with a super tacky crowd. On top of that, the female bartenders all seemed to be on drugs. You open a tab with them, and then they tell you later you have to go to the specific bartender (there's 3 of them there) - well, I barely remembered who it was as they all looked equally trashy, but I finally stuck with one as the night wore down - I said "I'd like to close my tab". She says "I don't have your tab". I say "Yes, you do". It was like a jedi mind trick, but she went back and got it - low and behold. I love the decor and the music was respectable, but I'd avoid coming here if possible, and particularly on Friday or Saturday. Drinks are also very pricey, but that's to be expected, i guess.
by Meggan Dyment on me likey! I loved the decor, the paintings, the darkness, the cool fixtures. I'll be honest, I don't remember what the drinks tasted like since I'd had quite a few before my arrival, but I do remember the bar was accessible and not overly packed, which is enough to drive me bonkers. Great music, nice sized dance floor. Not too many creepy people...just enough, because there are always some, no matter where you go. I'll def. go back to get my groove on.
