I took a good friend to Tao for his Birthday. Everything from the reservation process, to actually getting there & checking in, to being seated, the style of seating (which was new to me) to the food quality, to the views, to the bathroom service, to the checkout process, to the valet service was amazing. The price was definitely worth the food alone. The amazing experience was just an added bonus!! I was highly impressed, & so was he. I like the family style serving system for the food..it allowed us to try and share more things. I also like the amount of food you got. Between the two of us, we still had some leftovers. The food was seasoned very well & the presentation was also a nice touch. I will definitely be back & will recommend to anyone looking for a good spot for a night out. (The food we got was: Drunken Lobster Pad Thai, Lobster & Shrimp Rolls [SOOO good

B Tucker

Blatant racism. I’ve been here 5 times previously with no incident. I arrived on Sunday night with a group of my business partners only to be told no jeans were allowed in the restaurant. As I’m standing out there asking for my reservation to be cancelled because my credit card was on file three Caucasian males walk out in sweat pants and ripped jeans. I was wearing designer jeans and a blazer. This was clearly due to race. And the manager had no response to the matter. This is unacceptable in 2019.

Abraham Burns

asian food at this location - great. Food was so delish. The service was friendly and sociable. Bring your hunger - portions are generous.

Greg Tratyan

Beautiful place, great food. Nice to visit.

Michelle Page

asian food at this spot - great. I wish there were more places like this around town. Certainly worth a return trip. Prices were decent.

August George

Loved the food, the service was great, but the people selling roses in the front are crazy. There are like three people that all are the same family working together, and if you don’t buy a Rose from them they (all three) scream at Yousician make you feel bad. I never been to a place were they allow street hustlers to scream at customers when they are walking out of there establishment after spending thousands of dollars. This place is great, but watch out because when you leave there’s going be people selling roses and if you don’t buy one they’ll start yelling at you, and the doorman is going sit and watch. I deff wouldn’t go back even though the foods great because of those people out front.

gia david

Amazing food! Great service.

Aldo Aguirre

This place is amazing! Gorgeous, and the food is delicious!!

Monica Davis

Our poke, salmon, and cod were delicious! Our server was attentive, personable, spunky! It was the perfect place for birthdays!

Hallelujah

The food was great but it was a birthday celebration and the waiter brought out a cake which they charged us for. Misleading. The security with ear pieces and velvet ropes at the entrance might allure some but it was a bit over the top for me.

Shirley P

Very chic but the best thing was coming back after a few months to see how well the service has changed for the better. Peppers were a bit undercooked for me. I recommend the sashimi, sea bass skewers and the fried rice.

rob purchia

Great food. Outstanding atmosphere. Went for light bites and cocktails and was even more impressed with this location than NYC. Spicy tuna w/ crispy rice and Sea Bass Satay is off the chain. Few places can charge what Tao charges for me to ever say: Yeah, it was worth it!

Ákos Szilágyi

Great restaurant with a great variety of Asian food options. The cocktails are also delicious. The prices are relatively high, but considering the uniqueness of the place and the quality of the food, totally worth it.

Sean l Allen

OUTSTANDING atmosphere. Food to expensive for what you get and food gets cold fast

Angela Tsarukian

Beautiful setting, exceptional food. And our waiter Tony was very helpful and fun. Could go back every night

Tom Nguyen

Great atmosphere. Food is good, I wouldn't say the greatest. But you are really paying for atmosphere than the food, in my opinion. Trendy crowd, lively in the evenings.

Tania Nedeleva

Everything on the menu is incredibely delicious. Highly recommended. Spacious and impressive interior design.

JD Davis

Nice place. Great atmosphere.

Amanda Fielder

This place is Amazing! Beautiful decor, amazing staff! Very welcoming atmosphere. I celebrated my birthday here and their excitement about my birthday made me even more excited about it! It was a last minute reservation and they took me! The restaurant I originally made reservations with wouldn’t allow outside cakes. Tao literally saved my birthday!!! And put a sparkling candle on top and sang :-)...I really enjoyed my time here and just want to thank the staff and the beautiful restaurant for making my birthday wonderful! :-)

Kinselle Kate

Tao is a beautiful place. It was an incredible dining experience. I think my favourite part was the atmosphere and the vibes. The people definelty made the experience. I also enjoyed the food it’s definetly quality food. As for the drinks they were tasty as well but I think the drinks are over priced. I mean you’re paying almost $20usd for a drink and they just present it normally. If there were flares and tricks I would understand the price. Other than the overpriced drinks I loved it. I stayed in LA for a week and went to TAO twice. Also another favourite part was the scenery. If you love taking pictures and dressing up this place is fantastic for pictures. It definitely made my Instagram more colourful

RADNI GHAFOORI

I really like it here I left something in my car to see if they would be trustworthy and absolutely hundred percent very trustworthy I really appreciate it everything thank you so much guys

Emily Alvarado

Loved the atmosphere, the waiter was great, food was amazing. Loved spending my bday here with my girls! Will definitely go back!

Jean Yves Kabore

Went here for a first date on a monday evening. The decor in this place is amazing!!! The setting and ambiance are great. We had such a great great time there. However, i think their food is overpriced. You can find the same quality food much cheaper somewhere else. The decor and ambiance is worth it though.

Haykuhi Tovmasyan

Loved the place , very beautiful , spacious the wait time was a little long but we reserved 30 mins before it wasnt too bad. The crowd was mixed although some of them were too trashy. The food tasted amazing, the customer servive was veryyy nicee.

chantal aparicio

Food is overrated. Place is NICE. cool vibe

Henry Bloor

Great atmosphere and delicious asian food

Hope Hines

Food is great but the service is questionable! I went to Tao for my birthday and after waiting almost an hour (no big deal..its Tao) we got seated at 11:45p we quickly placed our order and once it arrived we only had half of the order (mind you they stop taking orders at 12) the waitress put in SOME of the food and acted like she "forgot" ..its gets better! After my birthday weekend something told me check my account and was double charged ON PURPOSE (I know this because I was charged 3 days after I got back to the bay area. And they TRIED to be slick and adjust the price by one cent so that I wouldn't notice!!) So many celebs are in and out and probably never notice the extra charges. My suggestion is ALWAYS PAY CASH OR DONT GO...Tao DO BETTER.

Vins Villanueva

Great ambience and excellent experience. You are definitely paying for the atmosphere. The food and service is good.

teerjay46

From Delaware first time there food and service was outstanding! Expensive

Claüdiia Claüdiia

Great atmosphere, food was delicious, service was exceptional. Overall it was a good experience at Thao.

Kelly Pina

It was my first time there and its so beautiful when you walk in it's so amazing and I gotta say the service there is good on point and the food I really good .

Meghan Snow

asian food and service here is above par. Arrived at seven, it wasn't crowded. The service here is outstanding. The place has a cool feel to it.

doug wille

Delicious food and very cool exotic vibe. Service was great. Highly recommended, but get a reservation well in advance as it is vey popular, trendy and quite the scene at later dinner.

Sahar K

great food & service

Andrey Meliksetyan

Awesome spot

Carlos A Ramirez

A great dining experience from the time the hostess greeted us to the moment we left. The waiter was very attentive as was the rest of the staff that helped us at our table. The dumplings, meat plate, chicken and all the food was perfectly cooked. Thanks for a great night and memory.

undefined

Food was good service was poor.

kathy afshani

Fun atmosphere. Great food. Pricey

Lynne Quick

Fun atmosphere. Great food.

Barbara Mckee

The setting is impressive but the food left a lot to be desired as far as taste is concerned. For the price, portions are small so family style dining is not an option. Portions can be shared by two persons tops. Ok experience once....that's it!

Mike Fury

The decor is amazing and the food is good but very pricey. A pan Asian experience brings to mind a nicer PF Chang's, though the price point doesn't match the improvements food wise. The Enter.sake sookoo is some of the best sake I've ever had, though it's only available here by the bottle.

DROD Rodriguez

Great experience definitely will be returning. Excellent service.

Valerie Arnold

One of my top locations for delicious asian food. nice place to meet and catch up with family. the staff was very welcoming and sociable. it has a cool interior.

Shamar Payne

Came to TAO on a date with my man , the décor inside is very beautiful and that let alone is worth it all , but the food is ridiculously amazing!

Dane Brehm

I highly recommend TAO for Christmas dinner! Especially if you have a "holidate" with you. We order the Shuhari Sake, Crispy Tuna Rice, Lobster Rolls (sauce is bomb), Dan Dan Spicy Noodles and Shared the Branzino.

Ed Hernandez

Extremely pleased with the staff both serving and kitchen staff ! Beautiful decor and a spacious layout ! I will revisit on a busy weekend to compare the service. I know it will be great

Stephen Shecora

One of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at, I highly suggest getting the duck.

Kyana Grice

The tuna Pringles are seriously amazing! The lobster fried rice is also very tasty. The sushi is good, tastes like your average sushi dish. I’ve had better orange chicken for a lot less. Service was a little slow, it was kind of packed but the service was still slow considering that. I genuinely thought they forgot about us for a moment.

Ricardo Aldazoro

Excellent place with magneficent inside view and pretty good food

Arabella P

Stylish, interesting and atmospheric!

Ed Anderson

A little over rated kinda off the real beat and path but all the real stars hang out here a must do while it's Hot

Jana Ava

I really enjoyed our dinner night we had here. The restaurant is beautiful. We made reservations and when we arrived we were seated immediately. You do have to valet when you park , so be prepared for that.

Lamanda Mabry

Recently celebrated my 25th birthday here this past Sunday and I had a fantastic experience... and by that it was because the venue was phenomenal and the food was out of this world. Sadly, I was disappointed for myself and my 6 other guest who have never been here and the service was extremely poor. I’m not one to normally like being hassled by waiters/waitresses every 5 mins to be checked on but we never got checked on at all. We were never even told there were non-alcoholic beverages(I’m pregnant). We drank water the whole time from 8pm-10:30pm to only find out AFTER paying for our food there were other beverages. Food came out 1 hour later after ordering. There were additional things ordered that were never ordered to begin with. After seeing multiple parties celebrating with those pretty sparkling candles... we didn’t even get that option, my dessert came out with a small birthday cake candle. With all this being said, would I come back to this restaurant, yes, and that’s solely for the food that was cooked so excellently and the beautiful venue. Otherwise... not sure if it’s because my guest and I were majority all African American women that we received such mediocre service or if that night was genuinely just so busy that we got the short end of the stick. Spending over $300+ should have came with the service to match. To add, the waiters/waitresses were nice, too bad I couldn’t give them a shout out on name bases because they never introduced themselves and we had like 6 different random waiters at our table and they were so busy every time we wanted to asked a question, they were rushing to another table without even asking if anything else was needed. Bummer.

Beta Hampton

Eh. For the price I expected either better food or service. It was good, but nothing exceptional. The waitress got cork into our wine and didn't notice, so we asked them to decant and strain it. My friends steak came out twenty minutes before the rest of the table got our sushi. And if they try to tell you the omakase is meant to be split along three people... don't listen, it wasn't easy to split as the sushi was each different, not multiples. Also it included rolls, which I think is pretty unusual. The atmosphere was amazing but I'd rather delicious food than a cool statue with projections on it. And the bathrooms just say yin and yang, no other explanation door which is which. Good luck figuring it out, Lol!

Chris Alex Maragakis

I got to say the food was top! Full of flavor, we had a little bit of everything including 2 desserts which were every bit of fun to look at and eat. Topping it off with a bottle of their Provence rosé wine. Service was excellent as well!

Amber Griffith

Had my birthday dinner here and it was great! We had an amazing waiter, the food was good, the music was enjoyable, and the drink was strong! I recommend adding the crab fries rice to your order.

Eric

$19 for 5 pork dumplings is a travesty. Service was fine, but just overpriced mix of Shanghai, Japanese and Thai.

Daimel Blueboy

Every good they do inside the vallet guys riun it outside, they are so rude, come on, people that use Uber don't deserve to be treated with respect?! They make every Uber to cancel because they think they own that street. Never coming back me and my friends.

Franks Navarro

An incredible dining experience....set among a cascading dining room..this restaurant will catch your breath... delicious Asian cuisine.. highly recommended.

Melba Murphy

Good food and cheap beer, did I mention the cheap beer??? Also Kelly is a great! She is our favorite server!

Ira Saluta

The best place in LA

Divinity Entertainment and Promotions

The food is so good here I think I found my next favorite dish the architecture inside is amazing whoever built this place really has it together. The Ambiance is perfect in Hollywood but always remember to make a reservation

Fahad Alburayk

Nice atmosphere. You have to make a reservation in advance. Pricey

melissa picoli philips

Not much has to be said. They got it right. I particularly love the art.

Tim Huntzinger

Amazing ambiance

Anita NK

Very classy ambience and great food

Donald Johnson

Great atmosphere and food. Tao Group does such a good job with creating an experience for dinner. Super Cool.

Justin Timbershake

What a spectacular restaurant set up, like going to a symphony or theater play. A very spacious lounge area with the bar gives great ambiance, the food is spectacular and wonderful decor. A must go to place when visiting Hollywood

Yer Zavakyan

Clubby high class atmosphere. Might run into a few celebs while your at it too. Fun place to be. DJ playing good music while you enjoy the great tasting foods they make. The service is excellent these don’t stop for a second always feel like your important. Must try the Sea Bass on skewers!!! It melts in your mouth, to die for.

Lak Kharod

The exterior and interior nice. Food too sweet bring on the diabetes. service was slow. Did not enjoy the meal.

Rommel DG

Impressive setting for a memorable dining experience. Decent food dishes. Good service. Well staffed.

Maria Sanchez

Tao's is more than just dining. You will be a changed person by the time you leave here. The food and decor is simply amazing!

I'm Garza

Fantastic atmosphere. Great bartenders. High end when it comes to drink and food. But you should expect that if you come here. It's also right next to highlight room.

Anna-Lisa

Definitely one of the best restaurants in LA! Conveniently located and such a beautiful atmosphere!

Brayden Bugazzi

Went above and beyond with this new version of the iconic original. The ambiance and setting is out of this world. Great service, food to die for, and a nice bar area to hang out and have some drinks after dinner. No complaints here

Elaine

Expensive, and probably not my crowd, but food was great. A true fusion with authentic Asian tastes. Interior decor is also excellent. You might even want to go just so you can enjoy their decor. Restrooms even have an attendant to assist if you need anything, and of course it is clean inside. You probably should try to remember though that Yin is FEMALE energy and Yang is MALE. Just in case you don't know and end up in the wrong restroom...

Spencer Low

The decor alone is worth the admission. However, the food and service did not disappoint. Their house sake was surprisingly good. Some of the best Chinese fusion food I have had in a very long time. Highly recommended!

Shir Ettedgui

Amazing service loved the food our waiter was super nice would definitely go again!

Think Twice

Very classy. Their food was amazing! The prices were a bit high and the plates were small but the whole atmosphere made up for that. I’ll visit again whenever I’m in LA

Vince VanGilder

This place has an Amazing atmosphere and the decor is second to none

Astha Anand

exceptional ambience. the food was tasty but pricey. the cocktails were lovely. the huge statue at the front was a talking piece and looks great in photos

Shateo Griffin

Celebrated my 36th birthday here and it was amazing. My husband surprised me with a lovely dinner date. The huge Fortune cookie dessert was amazing!

Ambiance and decor amazing. Food quality and preparation lacking. Very pricey. Manhattan location has much better food.

Sandra Jawad

Delicious food & sweet drinks! Definitely fulfilled my Chinese craving

Angie Turner

I am a fan of this restaurant. Every dish they have is fantastic. On the expensive side.

Kurt Fisher

Amazing food and atmosphere. Best to order food family style and share for the table.

Angelia Bella

The architecture, and interior design work at Tao’s is incredible! Very busy upscale restaurant with an amazing menu of delicious food. Perfect place for a date night, a night out with friends, or a business meeting. I wanted to have a drink in every room just to take in the visual experience, and feel of the place. They had a friendly staff that went out of their way to make sure we were happy. They were well educated about the items on the menu, and gave great recommendations, which I appreciated. Seating was comfortable, and the place was clean, and the temperature was comfortable. Loved the food. Loved the atmosphere.

Nadia Qabazard

My favourite place. I have been to NY Tao and LA Tao both were awesome. The Tao beach in LAS VEGAS was also awesome. I love TAO.

Charlotte Parnell

Lovely place and great food

Karl 1974

This enormous, clubby Pan-Asian restaurant is known for a giant Buddha centerpiece & stylish crowd.

Marite Antone

Ambiance, decor & DJ was awesome!! The fortune cookie dessert is so good. Noodles & brussel sprouts were good but too salty even for someone like me who salts everything....service was great.....definitely swanky & pricey....

Don Mosley

One of the best restaurants in Los Angeles you have to make reservations the day before but the food is fantastic and you are going to see someone famous. Beautiful setting and great service. Expensive but affordable great place to take a love one or family .

Jennifer Fritz

Atmosphere was incredible. Service and food also 5 stars. The giant fortune cookie can be shares among many.

Marc Razze

The restaurant itself is stunning! The food was fantastic, and the service, excellent! The drinks weren't cheap, but that's what you'd expect here. It was turning into quite the scene by 8 pm!

Lyla Mccoy

My fav location for delicious Asian food. Got there about one, it wasn't busy. The staff was friendly and sociable. The place has a great feel to it.

Irwin Welcman

Great place and tasty food

wendy manzanilla

Beautiful atmosphere, pricey food, unfortunately the flavor of the food was not 5 start specially for the price. Drinks were not that great. Dessert was delicious. I'll go back for the dessert but not for the food or the drinks. If your are planning on going you better call for reservations.

TATIANA W

Amazing food, great ambiance

Bridget Salazar

Asian food here - very tasty. nice location to meet with family. i had a cousin come into town and she asked me to go back here. prices were good for how much you get.

rominausa

Music too loud . Could hardly hear people at the table talking. Food good . Very friendly server nice lighting. A little cold.

Ali Saberi

Its a fun and cute place , drinks aren't that expensive, cool vibe.

Fawaz Saleh

Great experience, service and the food was on amazing. My good friend sticks invited us and it was a better than I expected. I would recommend anyone.

Keivan Javadi

Over priced with low quality of food and very average cocktails . The environment and interior design is only thing that is soothing .

Bailey DeMorgon

This place is Amazing! Beautiful decor, amazing staff! Very welcoming atmosphere. I celebrated my husband (40) birthday here and their excitement about the birthday made me even more excited about it! It was a last minute reservation! The restaurant I originally made reservations with wouldn't allow outside cakes. Tao literally saved the birthday!!! And put a sparkling candle on top and sang :-) my husband enjoyed and just want to thank the staff and the beautiful restaurant for making the best birthday wonderful! :-)

Frances Hasson

12/30/18 Jason and Eric are the best. They know what they are talking about and doing. Delivered a great experience and are a great reflection of Alhambra, CA.

John Orjalesa

First time at TAO LA. Went here on a Thursday night at around 0630pm we were seated right away and the place was not that full. It's easy to make a reservation on Open table or Yelp. They have a dress code but I saw some people wearing casual clothes and sneakers. Parking is easy around the area and they also have valet parking. Ambiance and decor were all beautiful. Food was good. Satay Chilean Sea Bass had very good flavor and very tender. The Tuna Poke was also good with the guacamole. The Lo Mein and Shanghai fried rice were just ok it was very salty for my taste. Orange chicken wasn't anything special, maybe avoid this dish. The giant fortune cookie at the end was a great way to end dinner. For drinks, I had the Japanese drink which I do not recommend. Staff is very attentive and would often go around and ask us what we needed. Overall this place is great if you're out celebrating a special event such as a birthday. This place is overpriced for what they serve.

Vanessa Samimi

Very cool restaurant. The vibe is glamorous and the food amazing. It is hard to eat there without reservation, so I recommend that you make reservations before yo go there. The decor is really nice. They have a DJ playing. I went on a Friday night for a Birthday celebration, and the experience was incredible. Going back soon.

Treestan Vera

Delicious, best restaurant in Hollywood!

Matt Jackson

The atmosphere is opulent, and the food is amazing!

Lynn Espinoza

Asian food and the atmosphere here is better than most. i was so full. quick and friendly service. the place has an awesome atmosphere. this place has many reviews for a reason.

Donte K

The Shanghai fried rice is good. The vibe in here is good as well

Teresa Balogh

The food at Tao is so delicious, the decor and layout of the restaurant is fabulous and unique, and the service is utterly impeccable!

T Ash

Pricey, but good food and amazing space.

Rag Sam K

Amazing ambience, great food and not too expensive. Tao offers an unparalleled experience in terms of dining in proper pan asian style. Their menu absolutely blows your mind away, the food is delicious the waiters and the hosts are way nice and provide amazing hospitality. Their valet parking is little on the expensive side but there is not much parking available around the restaurant so its the only option you’re left with. Other than parking rest of the dining experience is amazing.

Richard Johndrow

The most beautiful restaurant I've ever been to!

Jesse Crawford

The most tasty food I have had in an long time. Service was on point, kitchen was quick, and the ambience was perfect.

Reginald Moran

My very first time in an environment like this lots of people a lot of stuff is going on high-end people high-end cars high-end life but overall it's a lifetime experience I enjoyed myself with my date here the food was very very delicious the sea bass that they offered was about the best fish I've ever had in my life buttery sweet tender juicy all of the above good food in the sweets that they had were very exotic great drinks as well I enjoyed myself here and my date also that's my review about this place if you're into clubs meeting people in the high-end life this place is for you and great food meaning buy exotic as well you will absolutely love this place great scenery to.

Maraisa Rose

The dining experience is classy, sophisticated, and fast. The food is really good and although it's pricey, if you can pay for it, it's definitely worth the experience. The decor alone is enough reason to go there as it has such unique, beautiful pieces all around the restaurant.

Mia Carroll

This is my favorite spot for any special occasions. The food and service is phenomenal. Never disappoints. If you like a good vibes this definitely is the spot.

Daniel G

Awesome atmosphere, food is pretty good too.

Mrs Doubtfire

One of the receptionists appear insulting. When we asked for our reservation, she immediately said she couldn't find our name. The way she said it is as if we're like con people. Not apologetic. Didn'teven look like she wanna help us find our name. We gave our number, still she said she couldn't find it. We showed our booking confirmation and she said, "oh yeah". We asked what number was in there and we told her that's what we said earlier. So she told us to sit and wait at their lounge without telling us how we would know it's our time to get seated. She didn't inform us that we'll get an sms. Bad customer service. The place was noisy. We expected a quiet or jazzy ambiance where we could enjoy food with a good conversation. The food was good though.

John Root

That was the stupidest money I ever spent

Ryan Parson

The dining experience is classy, sophisticated, and fast. The food is really good and although it's pricey, if you can pay for it, it's definitely worth the experience. The decor alone is enough reason to go there as it has such unique, beautiful pieces all around the restaurant.

Jessica Townsend

Ok spot for delicious asian food. Staff is always timely even when they have a full house. Definitely worth going back to.

Lorenzo Carrano

Impressive decor and ambiance. If it's food you're after, you can eat much more flavorful Asian cuisine elsewhere in LA at a fraction of the price (which is where the whole experience fell short for me). Service is ok.

Robert Donovan

Tao has delicious food. I mean food so good that if I'm ever on death row with one last meal I would choose this place to eat. Then I would die happy.

Areg Amirkhanian

Magical!! Food is excellent.

Sager Nomany

bomb bomb bomb!! food and service are out of this world. exceptional overall! Will definitely be back on special occasional (abit expensive but you pay for the entire ambiance)

M Rice

Expensive but worth it!! Woweeee

Antoine CONAN

Great place. Nice food. Some entrée are sometimes ridiculously expensive (almost nothing for 35$)

Avieli Itah

Hands down one of the best Restaurant in LOS ANGELES right now based on my experience and opinion. My wife and I are big into sushi restaurant lounge establishments, many of our closed friends had gone there and we had seen multiple photos. It was a fantastic time to try somewhere new and was my wife's bday and Tao was on our list. We were happy we dined there and definitely going back with more friends soon.

Montrese Mcghee

Great atmosphere and Great Food
