this place is incredible!!! this little gem of a resturant was recommended by a friend and i am so happy i decided to go. we ordered the spring rolls to start (you get two), one with shrimp and the other with chicken. they are sliced in thirds and served with a delicious sauce. they were very large for an appetizer. we were then surprised by a complimentary salad that was made from exotic greens and served with a flavorful plum dressing and chunks of tofu. we then had the housechickencurry and the garlic chicken. you have a choice of brown or jasmine rice and we did half and half with each dish. we both agreed that while both were good, the brown was much better. we were once again surprised with a complimentary ice cream. you are given a choice of vanilla, green tea or strawberry cheesecake. we both chose the latter and were both glad we did. it is a small scoop and is served with two small slices of mango and half a strawberry and was lightly drizzled with an amazing mango sauce. i was so impressed with tao that i took my boyfriend back there just two days later. we bypassed the appetizer and shared the salad and a meal of the mango chicken. thechickenwas fantastic! we both enjoyed it enormously. needless to say, we both had the strawberry cheesecake ice cream again and were not disappointed. the first meal cost us $26 before tip but better than that, the second meal that we split was just $10.01 before tip! an incredible meal at a great price. what more could you ask for. i will recommend tao to everyone.
