Came here for my mom’s birthday. We came with no reservation on a Friday and they were able to accommodate us at 5pm. But I highly recommend doing a reservation. Food was really good and worth it! We ordered mostly family style dishes to share. Filet Mignon and Bao Buns are probably my favorite. Lovely dark ambiance. You would not expect it from the outside. However I have to give one less star because our server did not introduce herself and did not walk us through the menu (most especially I told her it was our first time) It was not busy but it seemed like she was not happy to be there. Otherwise, great experience!

This place is fabulous our experience was awesome! Definitely recommend making reservations. We had a larger party was able to accommodate during the week. The venue it self is a reason to visit, I will let the picture speak to the venue. I really should of took more pieces of the food. We ordered a great variety and all was good. They have a DJ playing music and was it a wide selection actually didnt make sense it went from disco to pop to Taylor Swift to hip hop to slow songs, idk? I guess something for everyone? Prices were reasonable.

I had one of the most incredible experiences of my life at TAO Downtown NYC. First, the food was absolutely outstanding—without question the freshest I’ve ever had. I chose all seafood, and every single dish was exceptional. I sat at the bar, and the bartenders were truly top-notch—professional, attentive, and made the evening so enjoyable. The atmosphere was spectacular, filled with amazing energy and beauty. Even the bathrooms were spotless, and the attendant was one of the kindest women I’ve ever met. That small detail made the experience feel even more special. What stood out most was the people—I met some of the friendliest, most interesting individuals I’ve ever encountered at a bar anywhere in the world. The space itself is breathtaking, with the grand Buddha creating such a powerful, spiritual atmosphere. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable night. I would highly recommend TAO Downtown to absolutely everyone—it’s an experience you won’t forget.

My first time eating here was on 7/03/25, around 530pm; no reservation was needed but if you are planning on a later time make sure to make reservations. Approaching the entrance you are greeting by 2 red double doors that leads into a dimly lit foyer; this is where the true vastness and beauty of Tao will take a hold of you. When checking in with the hostess staff, you will be brought around the corner to thee best view/seating setup you can have for a dining experience. We sat on the couples seat on the stairs which added to the new experience for us. Our waiter (forgive me as I’m bad with names) was so pleasant and friendly to talk to. He walked us through the menu and was very sympathetic to my girlfriend’s allergies, suggesting dishes she can eat. I ordered the drunken lobster noodle dish and my girlfriend ordered a few appetizers because she wanted “finger” foods. Everything came out fast, fresh and very delicious. On top of the food I ordered the Lychee martini, some of the best I’ve tried. It was fresh, flavorful and pretty strong (bonus). Overall I would highly recommend coming here around the time they open for a more intimate/peaceful experience. A little later in the evening it will be much more lively and the atmosphere will be energetic. Thank you Tao for a great experience.
