Absolutely amazing Asian food! I’ve been there few times, and I plan to come back each time I visit Kraków.

I’m always torn about what I think of Tao: Pros Fabulous garden(really beautiful and has a Zen tranquil vibe to it). Very good for a date, especially if you get the swing seat. Some of the food is very good(sushi and dim sum dishes are good and the tempanyaki is excellent if you can stomach the prices). Cons Quite expensive, certainly the most expensive Asian food I know in Krakow. Some of the food is really not good, for example serving Peking duck with standard thick pancakes(instead of delicate rice pancakes) is just unacceptable. On balance I keep coming back but only to the garden or the tempanyaki bar(I’m sure my wallet just winced) so 4 stars.

After hearing many positive comments from fellow Unilocalers, I decided to give Tao a try. For lunch I ordered the tom yum Kai and the pad thai. The soup was excellent. The pad thai on the other hand was rather disappointing. The noodle was cooked in a wok that obviously lacks the necessary firepower. It failed to caramelize the sugar in the sauce, so the dish didn’t acquire the characteristic taste. On the plus side the portion was large. Despite being unimpressed by the food, I had a positive experience at Tao overall. Firstly, that’s because I got to drink a beer on a swing. Second, the beer showed up accompanied by a big bowl of wasabi peas – and I love wasabi peas. Third, there were bunnies in the garden. I’ll definitely come back again another time and try something else on the menu. The ramen looks pretty good.

This place looks very tired. It needs good refurbished. Broken, old tables. Waitress even the place was totally empty was not attentive. They had limited deserts from the menu. One person had to wait a long time for because staff seemed to forgot about it. With many good places In Krakow, i wont be rushing back.

My favourite restaurant in Kraków. Reservations aren’t always necessary but I can be a good idea. In the summer it’s nice to site outside, there’s even a swing if you’re feeling playful. Inside I tend to sit(or rather kneel) at the low table in a nice little curtained-off«booth» overlooked by a buddha. The whole place is beautifully decorated and the calming music and efficient service will ensure you leave the restaurant calm and having achieved inner peace with yourself. The sushi here is fantastic. I usually opt for the 26 piece samurai set(there are cheaper lunchtime deals at an even more reasonable price). Desserts are nice. There is a green theme going on here, you can order such delights as green tiramisu, green crème brûlée and green lemonade. If you’re not into sushi there are other options, I quite enjoyed the ramen burger, a normal burger but with a bun made of noodles instead of bread. To sum up, I love this place.
