Tao
Tao Restaurant, New York
Asian cuisine is definitely one of the most delicious and exotic genres of food you can eat, and Tao restaurant in New York City is definitely a place to experience that genre. As New York’s largest and most popular Asian cuisine restaurant, it was made to transport you to another time with beautiful interior decor and delicious food. I have had the pleasure of eating there a few months back for my friend’s 20th birthday. I had never heard of the restaurant prior to going, but when we arrived I knew I would never forget it. Located on 58th Street between glitzy Madison & Park Avenues, the clientele who dine at this trendy restaurant, are used to excellent service and exceptional food. With the list of big names including, Beyonce, Tom Cruise, Britney Spears and Robert DeNiro, I knew the experience was going to a glamorous one. The decor of the space is beyond stunning, with the centerpiece being a 16 foot tall Buddha statue, flooded in glowing gold light and sitting above a reflecting pool of live Japanese Carp fish.
The entire experience was truly phenomenal, the price range is bit on the expensive side, but its totally worth it if your going out for a special occasion. The food menu is unbelievable also, my favorite was the Crispy Tuna Sashimi Roll with Edemame$16, paired with the “Blue Zen” a delicious mix of Cruzan Citrus, Malibu Rum, Blue Curcaco, and Pineapple juice $12.50 Visit Tao for time of exotic dishes, awe-inspiring decor, and trendy celebs, all in the same night!

thanks for the review. i have heard so much about it. many good things, esp. since celebrities often dine there.
but the criticism I hear is that it is not fully authentic asian food and is only Asian fusion, which can still be great, but is a less friendly taste to Orientals I suppose.
