Horrible experience with the valet company they use as the guy running it was extremely rude. Once we got in the hostess was great and our server was very professional. The place looks amazing and you feel like you're in a set for Indiana Jones. I kept waiting for Kate Capshaw to do a number. It was strange that our table for 8 only had 7 menus and one dessert menu. We were told we were not able to get more. Weird. Food was delicious though, bussing of the tables was prompt and we had a great time.

It's an overpriced social media photo opportunity spot. Food is not bad but a short drive to SGV, and you'll get the same for a fraction of the cost. As for the music, it fits the ambiance but way to loud. We couldn't have a conversation without having to speak up. It's a restaurant not a club. Wait staff was excellent, however the hostesses were extremely snobby and rude. Definitely a cool experience, definitely not coming back.

Last night was my second trip to Tao. The food was just as good as it was the first time. Service was amazing. Tao is a great Asian fusion restaurant as it's not just Chinese or Japanese foods. It's just great food. People seem to like to be "seen" here, but I didn't find it pretentious. With that said, it's not cheap. Two persons with one glass of wine, one soda, one appetizer, three entrees and one dessert was about $230 without tip. The fortune cookie dessert is my all time favorite. It's got a chocolate-nut dip, surrounded by fruit and then filled partially with vanilla mousse and chocolate mousse. Good for 2-4 people. Valet parking is only $20 .

I’ve been to TAO before and chose to go there again on my Birthday. The vibe was great as usual. However, the service was terrible. Our waiter disappeared for a long time. We told him it was my birthday and I never got the free birthday dessert. I saw the birthday dessert being brought to other tables but not mine. We also asked him to pack our leftovers of 2 sushi rolls and edamame. When it was brought to us it was missing the edamame and the extra sauces we ordered. The waiter said the cleaning crew threw it away. The waiter was ver dismissive and condescending. Although I love the food and vibes, I expect better service. I won’t be going back to this location.

Very Vibey restaurant. Nice ambiance. Went to celebrate my birthday. My only dislike is, they don't give yiu a complimentary dessert for your birthday. I personally hate that. Spending $325, it would've been nice. That was a turn off for me.

Dined here for company dinner. It was frustrating to have to wait to be seated until our entire party arrived (10 people never arrive all at the same time). Once everyone arrived, we still had to wait a few more minutes for our table to be set up (it wasn't even busy at this time and there were so many open tables). By the time we got seated, my group was very hungry and we wanted to order apps right away but were told we had to order all at once which wasn't ideal. Wouldn't recommend for larger parties who aren't setting up a pre-fixe menu.

We love Tao. One of our favorite restaurants, we don’t get tired of. Food is consistently good and service is great. Prices are on the higher side. Dinner and drinks for 4 will cost you an easy $1,000.

Beautiful restaurant, the music was way too loud. We were a table of 5 and no one could hear the other. We asked if the music could be turned down but everything stayed the same. Definitely not the place to go if you're on a date or actually trying to communicate with someone.

The music was just too loud, couldn't hear our waiter at all and because music was so loud, the crowds noise levels were even louder. It became so unpleasant that we skipped dessert and tried to hurry out by the time our entree's came.
